"Block the city gate, quickly, block the city gate!" the old city lord ordered his soldiers.
Immediately, several soldiers and the remaining swordsmen pushed huge stones to block the city gate.
If it were an ordinary beast, it would be impossible to break through such a defense. But unfortunately, they were not facing an ordinary beast, but a violent stone monster that was only slightly inferior to the four ferocious beasts in the legend.
"Boom" there was another loud noise, the city gate was completely shattered, and the huge rock blocking the city gate was slapped away by the violent stone monster.
"Men of Hanshan Town, follow me and kill!" Lao Cheng suddenly drew out his sword and rushed towards the violent stone monster that was squeezing into the city gate.
This kind of mountain town is not big to begin with, and it will be used as a military fortress during wartime, so the city gate is not wide. When the Wuqian City Gate collapsed, the city tower also broke, and pieces of rubble fell down, which barely stopped the advance of the violent stone monster.
The remaining soldiers and hundreds of civilians also accompanied him, drawing their swords and letting out rough and tragic roars. Although they knew that with their strength, charging forward like this would be suicide, there was no fear or hesitation in their eyes.
"Let's go!" Li Dingfeng looked back at the old city lord and gave orders to his imperial guards.
Yue Xiuming also looked in the direction of the old city lord, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not speak.
However, Mu Hanyan noticed that there were tears in his eyes.
Mu Hanyan's heart moved slightly: This guy is not hopeless.
Behind him, the old city lord and others rushed towards the violent stone monster like moths to a flame, just like those weak monsters rushed towards the city gate before.
"Kill!" The old city lord flew into the air and slashed at the violent stone monster with his sword.
"Third-level swordsman!" The old city lord's strength is not weak, and is no less powerful than the city lords of some remote small towns or the lords of large families. However, everyone knows that facing the powerful and violent stone monster, the old city lord's full-strength sword attack is simply courting death.
In an instant, the eyes of all the soldiers and civilians turned bloodshot, and they flew up at the same time, slashing out with sword beams one after another.
Unfortunately, with their strength not even reaching that of a swordsman, how could they possibly hurt the violent stone beast?
The violent stone monster was quite intelligent. He saw that these people posed no threat to him and was too lazy to even use his innate abilities. He roared and slapped them out with his palm.
Li Dingfeng and the others all turned pale, and even the imperial guards under his command had red eyes. They all knew that the slap from the violent stone monster would undoubtedly kill the soldiers and civilians headed by the old city lord.
"Roar..." At this moment, a beast roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
Suddenly, a strange beast with a majestic figure and ferocious face appeared out of nowhere and swooped down towards the violent stone monster below.
Before they could react to what was happening, a figure flashed beside them and Mu Hanyan rushed out like lightning.
"Sir, don't do that!" Li Dingfeng was shocked and shouted loudly.
Mu Hanyan has made up her mind, so how could she possibly listen to him?
Looking at the situation in front of her, Mu Hanyan knew that it was too late for them to leave. The old city lord and his swordsmen could not stop the violent stone monster at all. They would just die in vain. Even if these hundreds of soldiers were added, the result would be the same.
Of course, even without them, she was confident that she could still escape safely, but once the city gate was lost, those civilians who did not have time to evacuate would definitely die.
"Stars fall, the Eight Desolations!" The Hanxiao Sword attacked again. This time, Mu Hanyan did not hold back at all and directly displayed his strongest sword skills.
In the pitch-black night sky, a flash of lightning cut through the darkness, and tiny stars scattered like falling meteors. The whole world seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The violent stone monster obviously felt the power of the sword. It suddenly stopped and used its innate ability - petrification.
There was a flash of green light, and the thick armor of the violent stone monster quickly turned to stone, showing the unique solidity and heaviness of rock.
"Roar..." The beast swooping down from the sky roared again.
The light on the violent stone monster seemed to dissipate slightly, but soon returned to its original state.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the Frost Sky Sword landed heavily on the head of the violent stone monster, leaving only a shallow scar. However, the huge body, which seemed to be carved from rock, was knocked back several steps.
At the same time, the long swords of the old city lord and others also fell on its body, but failed to hurt it at all. Instead, they were directly blown away.
Fortunately, Mu Hanyan took action in time and no one died.
"Your Excellency the Envoy, why are you back? Go away, go away." The City Lord fell to the ground and rolled several times before he could steady himself. As soon as he got up, he shouted to Mu Hanyan anxiously.
"Lord City Lord, there is no need to say anything. It is too late to leave now." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
The old city lord sighed and said nothing more, but there was a bit more emotion and admiration in his eyes when he looked at Mu Hanyan.
From Mu Hanyan's sword just now, it was not difficult for him to see her strength. He knew that even if she could not kill the violent stone monster, it would not be difficult for her to leave. The reason she stayed was simply to help the people in the city escape from danger.
To be honest, An Yun and Shangyue had deep-seated resentment, and the people of both countries considered each other sworn enemies. Although he, out of righteousness, was willing to sacrifice his own life to ensure the safe arrival of Mu Hanyan and her group in the capital, deep down, he had no good feelings towards Mu Hanyan and even harbored hostility. Even when he had previously visited Yue Xiuming, he hadn't even bothered to exchange a few words with Mu Hanyan.
Who would have thought that Mu Hanyan would put aside their past grudges and stay behind to cover the evacuation of the people in the city, and just saved their lives. Such a broad mind made him feel inferior.
Besides feeling a little ashamed, how could he not be convinced by Mu Hanyan?
But he didn't know that if Mu Hanyan hadn't been deeply touched and respected by his previous words, why would she stay to save people? Miss Mu didn't have such a compassionate heart.
"Roar..." The violent stone monster let out a furious roar, with bloodshot eyes. Although the sword had barely left a small scar on it, considering the violent stone monster's powerful vitality, this injury was obviously nothing.
"Where is your divine beast Tianwei?" Mu Hanyan asked dissatisfiedly to Taowu, who had come to her and was wagging his tail like a pug to please her.
Relying on the mental connection brought by the master-servant contract, Mu Hanyan had already told Taowu what to do. She thought that the sudden appearance of the divine beast Tianwei would catch the violent stone monster in front of him off guard, and then severely injure it with the Starfall Sword.
Little did she know that this sword, which consumed nearly one-third of her strength, only injured the violent stone monster's fur, which made Miss Mu very disappointed.
