It was not until this time that the beast spirit guarding the temple came to its senses and grabbed Mu Hanyan who suddenly appeared with one claw.
This claw was so swift and sharp, it flashed through the darkness like lightning, leaving only a shadow.
Although Mu Hanyan had already used the Frost and Snow Dance sword technique, the Shape-Shifting barrier technique, the strongest attack of the Nine Heavens Starfall, and even the divine mind attack of the Divine Martial Soul Refining Technique, she was still half a beat too slow.
Seeing that the beast's claws were about to fall on her, there was no fear on Mu Hanyan's face, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Don't forget, she still has one last life-saving magic weapon - Cang Xuan Yunsha.
"Die!" The beast soul guarding the temple roared, and its sharp claws, like tempered steel, also slashed across Mu Hanyan's body at the same time.
The power contained in that claw is so strong that even pig iron would be torn into pieces by its claws, not to mention a living person.
"What a pity! I originally wanted to torture him slowly to avenge my old grudge, but I didn't expect this guy to be so difficult to deal with. I have no choice but to kill him in advance." The temple guardian beast secretly regretted.
But in a moment, its eyes filled with anger froze again.
The pair of indestructible claws fiercely slashed across Mu Hanyan's body, but did not cause him any harm at all, as if all the strength had disappeared from his body.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan's powerful sword slashed at its body.
"Ah..." With a loud noise, the hazy beast shadow was actually cut off by a sword and flew away, letting out an angry howl.
The beast's shadow rolled along the ground for more than ten feet before it stabilized its body, but it still uttered low groans, and its expression became even more ferocious because of the extreme pain.
Mu Hanyan then realized that the so-called beast soul was not truly invisible. The hazy figure was hit by her Hanxiao Sword, and a wound about a foot long appeared. However, there was neither flesh nor bones in the wound, but a small strange beast hidden under the fog.
This strange beast is about a foot long. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a chubby little cat. It is small and cute, comparable to the little Qiongqi.
From ancient times to the present, the one who had caused the deaths of countless geniuses and elites in the Beast Soul Hall was actually such a small and adorable little cat? Mu Hanyan stared, stunned for a moment.
But soon, Mu Hanyan realized that this was definitely not its original appearance after it grew up. If she guessed correctly, this beast soul was most likely the same as the Qiongqi beast, resurrected by the remains of the beast. Although it was much more powerful than the little Qiongqi, it was still at the larval stage, which was why it looked like this.
"I'm sorry for accidentally hurting you like this, but I didn't mean it. How about we just stop here? By the way, I should be considered to have passed the test, right?" Mu Hanyan said to the little strange beast with the attitude of a winner.
Don't think Miss Mu is showing any mercy. Don't be fooled by the cute and adorable appearance of this little beast. It's actually a little monster that has survived for countless years relying on a remnant of its soul. Talking to it about mercy? You're almost as stupid as a fool.
In fact, Mu Hanyan had used up the last bit of energy in her body in that sword strike just now. Not only did she feel weak and powerless, but even her head was aching. How could she have the strength to fight back?
Moreover, Cang Xuan Yunsha's absolute defense only has one chance. She doesn't even have the last magic weapon to save her life, so how can she dare to fight to the death with the other party?
However, on the surface, she still had the upper hand. Mu Hanyan only hoped that the series of magical skills she had just used could scare the strange beast in front of it, making it afraid to act rashly and give up the idea of ​​continuing to attack.
As for the memory of the divine beast Aolai, we'll have to wait and see.
"Hmph, do you think I don't know that you are at the end of your strength and have no strength to fight anymore?" Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan's wishful thinking fell through. The strange beast slowly stood up, and the wounds on the body of the dreamy beast healed quickly, protecting the little strange beast again.
"Your injuries are not light either. Why do you have to fight to the point of mutual injury?" Although Mu Hanyan could not see the true form of the beast soul clearly, she could still feel that its momentum was much weaker than before, and it was obviously seriously injured.
As she spoke, Mu Hanyan swallowed handfuls of pills. Although she was exhausted, if she was really forced into a desperate situation, the worst that could happen was that she would perform the blood sacrifice technique like Hua Yue, sacrificing her lifespan to forcibly stimulate her potential, which might not mean she had no chance of fighting.
However, the result of both sides suffering losses is not what Mu Hanyan wants.
"Yes, my injuries are serious, but it is enough to kill you." The beast soul guarding the temple said coldly and suddenly took off into the air.
"Roar!" With a loud roar, the beast soul opened its mouth and spewed out a red flame.
The flames continued to spin, like red chains, tightly trapping Mu Hanyan.
The beast soul roared continuously, and bizarre rays of light emerged from its body like ripples on water, but its aura was constantly weakening.
The rays of light continued to converge and merge, and finally, they formed the shadow of a mighty and ferocious beast, with a body like a tiger, hair like a dog, a human face, tiger feet, a pig's mouth and fangs, and a powerful long tail like a nine-foot steel whip.
Taowu! It is actually one of the four legendary fierce beasts, the Taowu mythical beast that is as famous as Qiongqi!
Mu Hanyan then knew the true origin of the beast soul and took a deep breath.
Compared with Xia Youchen's little Qiongqi, the Taowu beast in front of him is not only equally ferocious, but also obviously much more powerful. Mu Hanyan doesn't dare to expect this guy to be a vegetarian.
Mu Hanyan clenched her sword again. Judging from its posture, the Taowu beast in front of her was determined to fight her to the death, because she could feel that its aura had dropped to the lowest point. It must have begun to burn the power of the beast soul, which had not yet fully recovered. It was for this reason that its true beast form was exposed.
"The beast soul refines fire, burns the heart and destroys the soul!" Taowu beast soul roared suddenly, and the chain-like flame tightened instantly.
Mu Hanyan had been prepared to perform the blood sacrifice technique, fighting to the death at the cost of her life, but after making a series of hand gestures, she found that it had no effect at all.
Mu Hanyan suddenly realized that the beast soul fire of Taowu could actually interrupt her blood sacrifice technique.
Just as Mu Hanyan came to her senses, the flaming chains had already wrapped around her body layer by layer, restraining her tightly.
"Hahahaha, your ancestor destroyed my original body and wiped out my spiritual consciousness back then, leaving me with only three drops of essence and blood and a wisp of residual consciousness. Today, I will use this beast soul's fire refining technique to destroy your mind and destroy your soul, in order to avenge the blood feud of the past." Seeing that Mu Hanyan was tightly bound by the flame chains and couldn't even perform the blood sacrifice technique, the Taowu beast soul laughed wildly.
