A dark green sword light gathered into the Netherworld River, pouring towards Yun Bo and Mu Sha. The sword force was obviously faster and more exquisite than before.
Perhaps because they saw that the head of the family was about to wake up, they no longer had any scruples and finally used the Gui Yu family's most powerful secret technique without caring about gains and losses.
Yun Bo and Mu Sha were already seriously injured, and after such a long and fierce battle, they were no longer able to continue. Facing the opponent's unreserved final attack, the two found it even more difficult to cope.
After just one move, Mu Sha, who was already seriously injured, was sent flying. Although he still held the sword tightly, he no longer had the strength to stand up.
Yun Bo was also forced to retreat repeatedly by the opponent's exquisite and powerful sword moves, and was in danger.
After only a few moves, the sharp blade slashed through Yun Bo's chest, spurting blood. Yun Bo retreated several steps, leaning on his sword, his face full of determination.
"Kill!" Yun Bo roared and used his last bit of strength to kill the opponent again.
At this time, Yun Bo was covered in blood, with his long hair flying wildly, like a god of war descending to the earth.
Although they knew that Yun Bo was seriously injured, even the several black-robed old men opposite him felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
The black-clad swordsmen who were the first to rush into the house hesitated and dared not move forward.
"He has been seriously injured and has no strength to fight anymore. Kill him!" An old man in black robe shouted loudly to the black-robed swordsmen.
"Kill him, and wait for the head of the family to wake up, then we will destroy the Mu family." Another old man in black robes also shouted encouragingly.
Hearing the words of the patriarch, the black-clothed swordsmen became energized, shouted in unison, and attacked Yun Bo with their swords brandished.
There was a look of determination in Yun Bo's eyes. Even if he was at the end of his strength, he did not take these black-clothed swordsmen seriously. However, there were still nearly a hundred black-clothed swordsmen pouring in like a tide, and those black-robed old men were also eyeing him covetously. If he continued fighting, he would surely die.
But he couldn't leave. For the Mu family and for his own duty, he couldn't leave even if he had to use up his last bit of strength.
Mu Sha also struggled to stand up. His hands kept shaking and he almost didn't have the strength to hold the sword, but he still exuded a strong fighting spirit.
"You want to destroy the Mu family? What a big tone." Just when Yun Bo and Mu Sha were about to use up their last bit of strength to fight desperately, Mu Hanyan's cold voice rang out in the air.
Immediately afterwards, two sword beams slashed down from the sky, and the air around them suddenly shuddered.
The black-clad swordsmen who were attacking Yun Bo and Mu Sha suddenly stopped and were petrified on the spot as if they were cast under a spell. A breeze blew by, and their flesh and blood bodies slowly disappeared in the wind and rain.
"Sword Saint! Who are you?" Seeing the power of the sword, the expressions of the four black-robed old men changed.
"Young Master! Hurry, destroy the ancestral hall. We must not let the head of the Gui Yu family wake up." Before Mu Hanyan could answer, Yun Bo shouted loudly.
When he first saw Mu Hanyan, Yun Bo was shocked and subconsciously wanted to let him leave, but then he saw Ye Lanxun's shocking sword and immediately changed his mind.
He also didn't expect that this "servant" who had been following Mu Hanyan since returning to the Mu family was actually a master at the level of Sword Saint. Now, he is the only one who can prevent the head of the Gui Yu family from waking up.
Mu Hanyan's heart shuddered. She also felt the eerie atmosphere emanating from the ancestral hall, as well as the increasingly strong evil intent.
At first, she was a little surprised. The situation was so critical, yet Yun Bo and Mu Sha not only didn't try to escape, but instead fought desperately. Only then did she realize they were trying to prevent the Gui Yu clan's head from waking up. Without further ado, she knew Yun Bo and Mu Sha were doing this to eliminate the hidden danger for the Mu family.
Seeing the scars on their bodies and the determination in their eyes, Mu Hanyan was deeply moved by their loyalty.
The reason why the Mu family has been able to survive hundreds of thousands of years of ups and downs and survive to this day is not only due to the unremitting efforts of generations of Mu family members, but also inseparable from these loyal Mu family warriors.
Without hesitation, Mu Hanyan flew up and slashed at the ancient ancestral hall with a sword.
After hearing Yun Bo's words, the black-robed old men had already guessed the origins of Mu Hanyan and others, so how could they let her succeed?
With a move of their bodies, the four old men stood in front of Mu Hanyan at the same time. Four sword beams swung past, like a stream of water from the Styx, pouring towards Mu Hanyan.
"Be careful!" Yun Bo exclaimed.
Gui Yu's evil magic was too bizarre. Although his cultivation level had not improved much, the exquisite sword moves were so powerful that even he, who was at the level of Sword Saint, found it very difficult to cope with them, let alone Mu Hanyan, who had just been promoted to Sword Master.
Mu Hanyan had already retreated without Yun Bo's warning. The sword moves of these four black-robed elders were identical to those of the middle-aged man, but they were all ninth-level sword masters. The same sword moves, in their hands, were not only more exquisite but also multiplied in power.
With her strength as a third-level swordsman, even if she had the ability to cross levels and defeat enemies, she could not be their opponent.
Mu Hanyan retreated quickly, but the four old men in black robes came even faster. In just a blink of an eye, several sword beams completely enveloped Mu Hanyan.
At this moment, a bright sword beam came slashing down, as if tearing the sky and earth apart. The dark green sword beam, like the water of the Styx, also dimmed under this sword.
With a long "clang" sound, the sword rang out, and several old men in black robes were pushed back a few steps. They looked at Ye Lanxun who was standing in front of Mu Hanyan with surprise.
Although they had already seen Ye Lanxun's strength as a Sword Saint from the previous sword, it was only after the fight that they realized that Ye Lanxun's strength was even stronger than they had imagined.
Ye Lanxuan also took a step back, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
He had enough confidence in his own strength to believe that even a fellow Sword Saint, or even Tan Tai Chang Qing, who many considered to be nearly as powerful as him, would only stand a chance against him with one strike. However, the four black-robed elders before him, who were only ninth-level Sword Masters, combined their strength to block his sword strikes, only retreating a few steps and suffering minor injuries at most.
As expected of the Gui Yu clan, which was once so powerful that even royal families of various countries had to be held hostage by it, even he had to be careful in dealing with this evil magic that could forcibly increase combat power without sacrificing lifespan or cultivation.
"I will stop them, and you destroy the ancestral hall." Ye Lanxuan said to Mu Hanyan.
"Okay, be careful." Mu Hanyan also knew that she could not be of much help facing these four old men in black robes. Destroying the ancestral hall was the top priority.
As soon as Mu Hanyan finished speaking, the ancestral hall shook violently again, releasing an even more powerful cold and gloomy aura. The Hanxiao sword in Mu Hanyan's hand also made a pleasant buzzing sound.
