"I used it, but why didn't it help much?" Taowu explained quickly.
Mu Hanyan's heart sank slightly. The biggest reason why she dared to stay was because of the divine beast Taowu's power. If that power failed, it would be a bit troublesome.
Without giving Mu Hanyan much time to think, the violent stone monster roared and rushed towards Mu Hanyan.
This time, without waiting for Mu Hanyan to make a move, Hua Yue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe and Tang Bufan rushed to her side and joined forces to strike with a sword.
Although their strength is not as good as Mu Hanyan's, there are three fourth-level sword masters, one second-level sword master, and the old city lord who feels ashamed and comes out again. The combined power of the five of them cannot be underestimated.
Taowu roared wildly, unleashing its divine beast might once again. Unfortunately, just as it had claimed, its previously invincible divine beast might had virtually no effect on the violent stone monster. A flash of green light appeared on its body, and its thick armor once again turned to stone.
With a muffled sound, several people were pushed back several steps. The sword they swung together only left a few shallow scars on the violent stone monster.
The violent stone monster was enraged, roared to the sky, and rushed towards Mu Hanyan again.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!" At this moment, Li Dingfeng shouted and rode back on the red charcoal cloud beast.
As an elite member of the Imperial Guard, he needed a group of civilians to shield him from the battlefield. He was filled with shame and resentment. However, thinking of the old city lord's words, he had to suppress his raging desire to fight. After all, compared to the lives of the people in the city, the safety of Mu Hanyan and his companions was more important. If something happened to the envoy, it would not just be the people of the city who would be affected, but millions of people would be caught up in the flames of war.
Seeing Mu Hanyan turn back, Li Dingfeng felt a mixture of emotions. He could see how powerful Mu Hanyan was, and of course, he also knew that she had stayed behind solely to save the people in the city. Thinking back to his previous hostility towards Mu Hanyan, he felt a pang of shame.
"Kill!" Hundreds of imperial guards drew their swords at the same time, shouted in unison, and turned to rush towards the city gate.
They didn't think too much about it, but as An Yue soldiers, they couldn't protect the people, but instead had to take action against the Shang Yue envoys. They felt ashamed. When they finally received the order to turn around and fight back, their blood boiled and their fighting spirit was high.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the war horses were neighing. Relying on the majestic power of the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast, the imperial guards rushed to the front in just the blink of an eye.
Dozens of spears were thrust out at the same time. Although their strength could not be compared with Hua Yue and others, let alone Mu Hanyan, they were thrust out at the same time with the help of the impact force of the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast, and their power was not bad, enough to compete with masters at the level of swordsman.
However, facing these dozens of long swords, the violent stone monster seemed to be unaware and did not even use the petrification technique. It rushed straight towards Mu Hanyan with madness in its eyes.
"Crack, crack, crack..." The knights' spears made of fine iron pierced heavily into the body of the violent stone monster. This time, they left deep and shallow scars. Unfortunately, such injuries were insignificant to the violent stone monster with strong defense, and the spears were broken one by one.
Hundreds of imperial guards surrounded the violent stone beast, and long swords and sharp swords rained down on it. However, without the impact brought by the full-speed sprint of the red charcoal cloud beast, their strength could not pose any threat to the violent stone beast at all.
The violent stone monster ignored them completely, roaring angrily as it continued to charge towards Mu Hanyan. However, as its giant palm swung, several imperial guards were still knocked away and died tragically on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Huayue and the others joined forces to strike out with their swords again.
The violent stone monster still ignored them, allowing their sword beams to fall on it, and still pounced on Mu Hanyan relentlessly.
"No way, this guy is really so vindictive!" Mu Hanyan could see that the violent stone monster in front of him had completely fallen into a frenzy, just like its name.
At this time, the violent stone monster is like a wounded wild beast in the wilderness. The beast will completely lose its mind when it falls into rage. Even if it risks its life, it will die together with the injured hunter.
"Stop it, stop it quickly!" Li Dingfeng shouted loudly, and his imperial guards attacked again.
Unfortunately, even Hua Yue and others were unable to cause fatal damage to the violent stone monster. Moreover, they would just be seeking death if they rushed forward. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen imperial guards died tragically on the spot.
The hands of Hua Yue and the others holding the swords were also shaking slightly. Obviously, they had used all their strength to slash a few times with the sword, but they were unable to break through the defense of the violent stone monster. Under the powerful recoil force, they were all injured.
"Stars fall, the Eight Desolations!" Mu Hanyan gritted her teeth, suddenly flew up, and slashed with the sword again.
Taowu once again cooperated and displayed its useless divine beast pressure.
A green light flashed on the body of the violent stone monster, and it instinctively used the petrification technique again. However, perhaps because it was half a beat slow to react in its rage, Mu Hanyan finally cut a three-inch deep wound on its head, and blood gushed out.
The violent stone monster was completely enraged, roaring and rushing towards Mu Hanyan madly.
Almost at the same time, there was another roar from the city wall, and a big hole was broken in the solid wall, and another violent stone monster rushed in.
Li Dingfeng's face changed, and he rushed towards it with several personal soldiers. However, the violent stone monster didn't even spare them a second glance, but rushed straight towards Yue Xiuming, who was still lying there healing his wounds.
Seeing the situation was dire, he had wanted to flee, but firstly, his injuries were severe, and secondly, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he dared not abandon his men and escape alone. Otherwise, even if he were the Crown Prince of Anxi, he would be severely punished, and the title of King would most likely be irrelevant to him. So, after careful consideration, he decided to stay where he was and heal his injuries first.
Li Dingfeng never expected that this violent stone monster would completely ignore their existence and rush directly towards Yue Xiuming, leaving him no time to block.
With a dull "bang", Yue Xiuming, whose injuries had not yet healed, was knocked away again. The armor on his body, which was already in pieces, finally broke into pieces. However, relying on the last bit of defensive power of the armor, he managed to save his life, but he was spitting out mouthfuls of blood, and it was obvious that his injuries were more serious.
The violent stone monster still refused to let him go and continued to rush towards him with roars.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that this was the violent stone monster that was hit on the head by Yue Xiuming's sword.
It really holds a grudge. That sword didn't actually hurt it at all, but it still holds a grudge until now. Judging from its posture, it will never be able to get rid of the hatred in its heart unless it crushes Yue Xiuming into a pulp.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan's heart moved.
"Back off, everyone back off." Mu Hanyan suddenly whistled.
Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, only to see Mu Hanyan slash out with the sword again and then fly backwards.
The violent stone monster didn't stop for a moment and kept chasing after him.
Mu Hanyan ran a few steps, grabbed Yue Xiuming, who was lying on the ground, spitting blood and waiting to die, and flew out of the city.
"Go to the capital and wait for me!" Mu Hanyan's voice came from afar.
The two violent stone monsters paused for a moment, then roared, turned around, rushed out of the city wall, and chased after Mu Hanyan.
