The gap between the first-level swordsman and the fourth-level swordsman is still a bit too big.
"Junior Sister, you are about to die, but you still want to bluff. Do you really think you can scare us away with just a few words?" Qiu Yuan felt relieved and said contemptuously.
Jiang Qiling's expression was gloomy, but her eyes were filled with anxiety. She had clearly explained everything to Mu Hanyan, so why didn't that guy take the opportunity to escape? Could it be that he still had doubts about her?
"Junior sister, stop wasting your energy and accept your death obediently. Considering that we have been together for several years, I will let you die quickly." Qiu Yuan approached Jiang Qiling again.
"Qiu Yuan, you ungrateful and despicable villain, I will fight you to the death." Jiang Qiling didn't think any more, stood up with anger in her eyes, and attacked Qiu Yuan with a sword with all her strength.
Although her meridian cleansing and marrow cleansing were not yet complete and her strength was suppressed, she was still able to unleash her potential in her rage and barely unleash the power of a second-level swordsman.
Although he was still a long way from becoming a fourth-level swordsman, the sudden surge in strength still made Qiu Yuan dare not be careless. He concentrated all his attention and struck out with his sword again.
"Be careful!" At this moment, Qiu Ye's exclamation suddenly came from behind.
Before Qiu Yuan could react to what was happening, he heard the sound of whistling wind behind him, and a cold murderous intent locked onto him.
Qiu Yuan's hairs stood on end and he turned around quickly. As soon as he saw Mu Hanyan's graceful figure and cold eyes, he felt a burning pain on his back and was chopped off and flew away.
"Mu Hanyan, it's you!" Qiu Yuan spat out blood and struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Mu Hanyan with anger and surprise.
"Sorry for ruining your plan." Mu Hanyan shook off the blood on the sword, feeling a little regretful.
She would never show any mercy to the people from the temple, but like Jiang Qiling, she could only exert strength close to that of a second-level swordsman. Even if she attacked from behind, she could not kill Qiu Yuan.
Fortunately, Qiu Yuan's injuries were not light, which greatly reduced her stress.
After giving Qiu Yuan a cold look, Mu Hanyan threw a bottle of pills to Jiang Qiling.
"Mu Hanyan, Jiang Qiling is your enemy everywhere, and you still saved her. Are you out of your mind?" Qiu Ye frowned and said.
"If I don't save her, I might be really crazy." Mu Hanyan smiled coldly.
"Oh, I understand. You are worried that it will be bad for you after we kill Jiang Qiling, right? You are worrying too much. Our target is only Jiang Qiling. If you leave now, we will never make things difficult for you again." Qiu Ye thought for a while and said as if he suddenly realized something.
"Do you think I will really believe what you say? When did the people from the temple become so compassionate?" Mu Hanyan said disdainfully.
Although Qiu Ye speaks nicely, his mind is much deeper than Qiu Yuan's and he is much more difficult to deal with.
"Do you know where we come from?" Qiu Ye was slightly surprised and looked at Mu Hanyan seriously.
"You really know nothing about me? Even if I don't take action today, I'm afraid you won't let me go in the future." Mu Hanyan did not answer him, but asked back.
She would never believe that Qiu Yuan and Qiu Ye knew nothing about her true identity. Even Jiang Qiling could guess that she was a descendant of the Guardian of God. As people of the Temple - the biggest enemies of the Holy Court Continent, how could Qiu Ye and Qiu Yuan know nothing about her? The reason they didn't attack her was simply because the time had not come and their attention was mainly on Jiang Qiling.
After killing Jiang Qiling, it will be her turn sooner or later, and if she shows up today, there is no way they will let her go.
"You're right. Even if you don't take action today, we will still take action against you one day in the future." Since Mu Hanyan had seen through his origins, both sides knew it well. Qiu Ye was too lazy to hide it. He smiled coldly and drew out his sword.
Amid the sound of sword chanting, a sword beam enveloped Mu Hanyan, sharp and full of murderous intent.
As both are fourth-level swordsmen, Qiu Ye's strength is obviously stronger than Qiu Yuan, and he is only one step away from the fifth-level swordsman. Moreover, his understanding of swordsmanship is far superior to Qiu Yuan's.
"Do it!" Mu Hanyan shouted to Jiang Qiling without hesitation as she swung her sword.
Jiang Qiling had just fought with Qiu Yuan and suffered some injuries, but after taking the elixir, her injuries have improved a lot. Upon hearing this, she immediately stepped forward and fought side by side with Mu Hanyan.
Two sword beams rushed towards Qiu Ye at the same time.
Sparks flew and two sounds of metal clashing rang out almost at the same time. Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling retreated five or six steps before they could barely stabilize their bodies, while Qiu Ye only swayed slightly.
Clearly, Qiu Ye had the upper hand in this strike, but Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling were still invigorated. Although the gap between the strength of a first-level swordsman and a fourth-level swordsman was enormous, it wasn't as fundamental as the difference between a swordsman and a swordsman, or between a swordsman and a swordsman saint. If they joined forces, they might not be completely powerless.
"Why don't you leave?" After adjusting her breathing and energy a little, Jiang Qiling asked Mu Hanyan.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, haven't you heard?" Mu Hanyan replied.
Jiang Qiling tilted her head and glanced at Mu Hanyan out of the corner of her eye, as if trying to see some other meaning, but unfortunately, she saw nothing.
"Come again." Mu Hanyan didn't let her continue to think about it. With a light shout, she took the initiative to attack with Qiu Ye.
Just when she and Jiang Qiling joined forces to attack with the sword, Mu Hanyan suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, or perhaps it was a surprising discovery.
"Okay." Without hesitation, Jiang Qiling and Mu Hanyan joined forces again and attacked Qiu Ye.
Two sword beams flew past, their qi pulling at each other, repelling yet attracting each other, and the invisible qi vaguely blended together, just like the laws of heaven and earth.
This time, Mu Hanyan finally confirmed the strange feeling she had before. When the two of them used their swords together and attacked at the same time, the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth on their strength were actually much weaker.
It was also for this reason that the two of them did not stop their meridian and marrow cleansing while they were attacking.
When the sword beams collided, Qiu Ye only swayed slightly before he stabilized his body, while Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling also retreated several steps. However, if you count carefully, you will find that they retreated six steps before, but this time, they only retreated five steps.
"Kill!" Jiang Qiling was originally very scheming and intelligent, but she was unlucky to meet Mu Hanyan, which was why she was always suppressed by her. Compared with others, she was also a smart person, and she soon discovered this.
Without giving He Qiuye time to think, he just stopped and immediately drew his sword and charged forward again.
