"Om..." Han Xiao's sword slashed out, making a sound like a dragon's roar.
Honestly, if Mu Hanyan had been more sensitive, she wouldn't have bothered to save him. They weren't related, and she had no affection for this arrogant and dissolute young prince, so why waste her energy? But the old city lord's words deeply moved Mu Hanyan. Thinking of the peace and tranquility between Anyun and Shangyue, the expectations of Gong Hongru, Nangong Jingyuan, and others, and considering Yue Xiuming's status, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
Xue Han's sword light swept across the sky and landed heavily on the body of the violent stone monster.
But then a green light flashed, and the thick armor on the violent stone monster's body became like rock. Its body also stopped suddenly. Although it was knocked back a few steps by the sword, there was not a single scar on its body.
Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked. Although she did not use the Starfall in the Eight Desolations in order to conserve her strength, but used the Starfall in the Nine Heavens, but with her strength as a sixth-level swordsman, coupled with the hard training she had done in the past few days, the power of this sword was probably not much worse than that of an ordinary eighth-level swordsman. However, she was unable to cause any damage to the violent stone monster in front of her.
The violent stone monster in front of him was indeed much stronger than the sword pet of Lord Deng of the Beast Taming Palace.
Fortunately, she had not intended to kill him with a sword, but just wanted to save him, so she was only slightly startled, and immediately came to her senses, grabbing Yue Xiuming and flying backwards.
The violent stone monster refused to let them go. With a roar, it chased after them again, and slapped out with its huge paw. However, its target was not Mu Hanyan, but Yue Xiuming who was in her hand. It seemed that this guy was still holding a grudge and was still brooding over the sword attack from Yue Xiuming just now.
Although the distance was still far, the violent stone monster's slap still brought a suffocating and terrifying power. Yue Xiuming felt a tightness in his chest and was so scared that he almost fainted.
Mu Hanyan lightly tapped her toes and took Yue Xiuming into the air.
On the city wall, Li Dingfeng and others were slightly stunned.
They all saw Mu Hanyan's strength. Although a sixth-level swordsman could fly in the air for a short time, it would be difficult for him to fly up the ten-zhang-high city wall, not to mention that he was carrying someone with him.
What they didn't know was that Mu Hanyan was carrying a Qingyun Flying Feather. Although she couldn't fly on the wind like a true Saint-level master, it was not a big problem for her to fly up the ten-meter-high city wall.
As they watched in astonishment, Mu Hanyan and Yue Xiuming lightly landed on the city wall. However, as they reflected on Mu Hanyan's true identity, they felt relieved. Since Mu Hanyan had dared to challenge the Shangyue elite at the Shangyue Royal Sword Sound Academy, she must have had some confidence. It wasn't surprising that she had one or two magical instruments on her.
Mu Hanyan didn't care what they were thinking and threw Yue Xiuming to the ground.
Saving Yue Xiuming seemed simple enough, but in reality, it wasn't as easy as it looked. After all, there was more than one violent stone monster under the city. If her sword strike wasn't powerful enough to force the violent stone monster to activate its innate ability and temporarily stop, it would likely become a tangle. Facing two violent stone monsters at that time, even if she summoned Taowu to help in time, it would probably be difficult to escape safely, not to mention carrying a burden with her.
So even though she used the Nine Heavens Starfall in that sword strike just now, it still caused her considerable damage even though she had put all her strength into it.
"You saved me?" Yue Xiuming was so frightened that his mind wandered away. He only came to his senses at this moment. He looked at Mu Hanyan and seemed a little unconvinced.
"I'm sorry. As an envoy of Anyun, I was in Shangyue but failed to abide by the laws of Shangyue. I took action without the permission of the young prince. I hope the young prince will show some leniency." Mu Hanyan said sarcastically.
The spoiled young lady who is the best in Black Stone City, the capital, and Longyan is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied. She was ridiculed by Yue Xiuming all the way. Although she didn't want to argue with such a fool, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. When she had the chance, she would naturally fight back.
Yue Xiuming thought about what he had said before, his face turned red with shame, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
"They are just two stone pigs. I was just a little careless just now. Even if you didn't take action, I could chop them into meat paste." Yue Xiuming was stubborn and seemed to have completely forgotten who was crying and yelling for help just now, and tears were about to flow.
Mu Hanyan glanced at him and suddenly had the urge to throw him off the wall.
"Of course, I am very grateful that you can sacrifice yourself to save me." Seeing Mu Hanyan's unfriendly expression, Yue Xiuming was frightened and quickly added another sentence.
Perhaps others did not know how powerful Mu Hanyan's sword just now was, but he could vaguely guess it.
Although in Mu Hanyan's opinion, this prince of the palace had an unstable foundation and extremely poor practical experience, he was still a member of the royal family and practiced the royal secret martial arts. In order to show off in front of everyone, he used all his strength in that sword strike just now. Not only did he fail to hurt the "Slate Beast", but he was slapped by it and was knocked unconscious. Even his ancestral armor was shattered into pieces. One can imagine how powerful the "Slate Beast" is.
Mu Hanyan was able to push him back several steps with one sword strike, so it was not difficult to imagine how terrifying the power contained in that sword strike was.
"Lord Zeng, Lord Li, you must quickly escort the envoy and the young prince away. We will do our best to stop these two violent stone beasts." Seeing Yue Xiuming escape from danger, the old city lord finally breathed a sigh of relief and said urgently to Zeng Wenxin and Li Dingfeng.
"What, violent... violent stone beasts!" Yue Xiuming only now realized that the two strange beasts under the city wall were not the stone pigs he thought they were, but the legendary violent stone beasts second only to the four ferocious beasts. He felt a pang of fear in his heart and his face turned pale again.
"Let's go." Li Dingfeng was not a hesitant person. He knew what was important and what was not. He took Yue Xiuming's arm and ran down the city wall.
Yue Xiuming was seriously injured. He was just focused on escaping and didn't feel anything. Now that he was out of danger, he felt exhausted all over and couldn't muster any strength.
"Bang, bang, bang..." There were bursts of loud noises coming from the city gate. It was obvious that the violent stone monster had rushed to the bottom of the city and was hitting the wall gate.
The swordsmen's arrows, infused with great energy, could only kill the weak alien beasts. They had no killing power at all against these alien beasts, which were known for their defense.
With a loud "bang", a big hole was blasted in the heavy city gate made of refined iron and meteorite gold. Several young swordsmen were hit by the fragments and fell in a pool of blood.
Through the big hole on the city gate, you can see the ferocious head of the violent stone monster.
The common people had not yet evacuated. When they looked back and saw this scene, they cried out in fear, and some even cried out in pain. It was obvious that among the dead swordsmen were their relatives.
