You have to know that Mu Hanyan is at the level of Sword Saint at this time, and Hua Yue and others are equivalent to great swordsmen. Although the Fifth Prince and Qu Fengting are a bit behind, with the help of dozens of soldiers armed with cloud-piercing and stone-breaking bows, their combat power should definitely exceed that of a great swordsman.

Even so, they were still unable to stop his sword strike that came so easily and effortlessly. Just how strong was he?

"Now, do you still think you can stop me?" said the masked man proudly.

Hua Yue, the Fifth Prince and the others were all silent. They could see that the masked man had no killing intention after that sword strike. Otherwise, it would be questionable whether they could save their lives, let alone block it.

"Mu Hanyan, let's go!" The fifth prince suddenly gritted his teeth and stood in front of Mu Hanyan again. Qu Fengting also stood beside him without hesitation.

Hua Yue and the others naturally would not fall behind outsiders, and they also guarded Mu Hanyan.

"Let's go?" There was a playful smile in the masked man's eyes.

The gap in strength is so huge that even if Mu Hanyan wants to leave, it won’t be that easy.

"Mu Hanyan, remember your promise and guard Beining Pass." The fifth prince's eyes showed a resolute look, and he made several hand gestures.

The entire general's mansion suddenly shook, and Mu Hanyan felt a mysterious fluctuation of energy.

Magical weapon! With Mu Hanyan's current alchemy attainments, she immediately realized that this was the unique Qi fluctuation of alchemical magic weapons. Moreover, it was not just one magic weapon, but dozens, hundreds, or even more magic weapons being activated at the same time to produce such a powerful Qi.

No, it's not a magic weapon, but a magic array! Mu Hanyan suddenly woke up.

Legend has it that in ancient times, alchemy masters and formation masters were able to construct formations with the help of more than a hundred magical instruments. The overlapping and mutually stimulating formations would increase the power exponentially, far exceeding the sum of the power of the instruments themselves, and could be said to be able to destroy the world.

However, with the passage of time, the art of formations was lost hundreds of thousands of years ago. After all, the laws of the continent's separation were incomplete, making both cultivation and the refinement of magical instruments much more difficult than before. For the vast majority of practitioners, even possessing a single magical instrument was a rare opportunity, let alone constructing a formation with hundreds of them—a sheer luxury. Furthermore, the art of formations was far less advanced than before, making it even more difficult to combine hundreds of disparate instruments and activate them to create a formation.

Because the magic circle is too powerful and too sophisticated, even the formation masters and alchemy masters hundreds of thousands of years ago found it difficult to control it. It is usually used for self-destruction and will only be activated when the enemy is on the verge of despair, and the enemy will perish together with the formation master.

Beining Pass has a long history. The magic circle under the general's mansion has obviously been left over from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and its purpose is of course this.

"Stop, stop now!" Mu Hanyan had never seen a magic circle, but she had seen records of magic circles in ancient books.

Although the magic circle under the general's mansion has a very long history and has not been blessed for a long time, its power may not be as strong as before, but it is still enough to raze the general's mansion to the ground. The fifth prince himself will definitely die. With Qu Fengting's current mentality, he will naturally not abandon him.

No matter how much she hated these two people in the past, Mu Hanyan now absolutely did not want them to die in front of her.

"Let's go, all of you. Remember your promise, defend Beining Pass, defend Luoan City." The fifth prince did not hesitate at all, roared, and continued to make hand gestures quickly.

Qu Fengting looked calm, neither sad nor happy, and he also made hand gestures. Obviously, the Fifth Prince alone could not fully activate the magic circle.

A force filled with destructive aura suddenly surged out from the ground, imprisoning the masked man, but at the same time, it also imprisoned the Fifth Prince and Qu Fengting beside him.

The power was so strong and so violent that it seemed as if it could explode at any time. The moment of the explosion would undoubtedly be the moment when the fifth prince Qu Fengting and the other party would die together.

"If possible, please help me take care of Lan Xiu." Qu Fengting said lightly.

Looking at the resolute and fearless faces of the Fifth Prince and Qu Fengting, Mu Hanyan's eyes became moist.

No matter how many wrong things they have done, no matter how terrible they have been, at this moment, Mu Hanyan has only respect for them.

Everything they did was not only because they were friends, but also because of the hundreds of millions of people behind Beiningguan Luoan City!

Go, or stay? Mu Hanyan, who had always been decisive, hesitated at this moment, her heart trembling slightly.

"It turns out there is a magic circle hidden here. Unfortunately, this magic circle is too old and its power is not as great as you imagined." At this moment, the masked man suddenly said.

He clasped his arms in front of him and then slowly opened them.

"Qian Kun, Wu Ji!" As his hoarse and low voice came out, an illusory light bloomed from his chest.

All the magical instruments fell silent, as if they had fallen asleep again, and the terrifying power that had originally shackled him also disappeared.

"Impossible, you...you can actually break the magic circle!" The fifth prince looked at the other party in shock and said bitterly.

"Didn't expect it? There are actually many things you can't imagine in this matter, so don't make any more meaningless resistance. In front of me, you are just a group of ants." The masked man said proudly.

Mu Hanyan and the others felt their hearts sink suddenly. What is absolute strength? This is absolute strength. Facing such an opponent, they have no chance to compete with him at all.

"I really didn't expect that it was you!" At this moment, a graceful and elegant figure fell from the sky and stood in front of the masked man.

Hua Yue and the others relaxed their expressions at the same time. Apart from Ye Lanxuan, who else could be standing in front of Mu Hanyan?

The masked man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Ye Lanxuan in front of him, speechless for a long time.

"Are you still denying it now? Is there anyone else in the world who can use Qiankun Wuji except Yun Qianmo?" Ye Lanxuan looked straight into his eyes and said.

"Why do you have to look for me? Wouldn't it be better if I were dead?" Yun Qianmo finally stopped denying it and said lightly, but his voice was full of vicissitudes of life.

"Why, what exactly happened?" Ye Lanxuan asked.

"You will know when the time comes. Now, take her away from Beining Pass and Luoan City. Otherwise, no one can save her." Yun Qianmo said.

"What about me? I can't save him either?" Ye Lanxuan slowly drew out the Thousand Breaking Sword and looked at him calmly.

"Do you want to fight me?" Yun Qianmo's voice became a little distant, as if it came from another time and space.

"I once respected you as my teacher and my brother. If possible, I would rather die than fight with you, but she is the woman I love." Ye Lanxuan raised his head, his eyes firm.
