"Stop it! No one is allowed to take action without my order!" the old general shouted in a deep voice.
He had a very high prestige in the army. Once the order was issued, all the city guards put away their weapons obediently, even if they were unwilling.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Ziyue's furious sword came slashing in front of him, and the old general raised his sword to block it.
"Clang" the long swords collided, the old general was shocked and retreated several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Wu Ziyue hated him so much, but he refused to give up and struck out with another sword.
The old general was chopped off by his sword and flew away with it, his body in mid-air, blood gushing out again.
"General!" Seeing the old general fall heavily to the ground, several city guards hurried forward, and the other soldiers also grasped the hilts of their swords again, glaring at Wu Ziyue.
"No one is allowed to take action without my order!" The old general shook off the people around him and gave orders to the soldiers around him.
Everyone around was glaring at Wu Ziyue, their eyes almost spitting fire.
Of course they knew what the old general's intention was. Once they took action, those black-armored guards would also take action. Whether they were willing or not, they were Wu Ziyue's personal guards after all. They couldn't just watch Wu Ziyue being hacked to death by swords.
Once they take action, it will be like two armies fighting each other. Regardless of right or wrong, the crime of mutiny will be confirmed.
The old general was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, so he strictly forbade them to take any action.
If he fought with Wu Ziyue alone, it would at most be considered as insubordination. Although he would be severely punished, no one else would be implicated.
Understanding the old general's painstaking efforts, all the soldiers and civilians around him were moved to tears.
Seeing that no one dared to take action, Wu Ziyue became even more unscrupulous and slashed at the old general with sword after sword.
Although the old general was strong, he was seriously injured after all. How could he withstand his wave-like attacks? Blood spurted out of his mouth and his majestic face was as pale as paper.
Seeing this scene, some soldiers and civilians were heartbroken and couldn't help crying. They all knew that if this continued, the old general would surely die. Perhaps this was exactly what he wished for, wanting to use his death to calm Wu Ziyue's anger and bring peace to the people of the city.
"Stop!" Mu Hanyan couldn't bear it any longer, so she pushed through the crowd and walked towards Wu Ziyue step by step.
What others could see clearly, she naturally saw as well. In the past, she would not have cared much about the internal strife within Shangyue, and would even have wished for the country to become as chaotic as possible. However, the actions of the old general and the Geng family head had deeply moved Mu Hanyan, and naturally she did not want to see him die for her innocent sake.
"What? Do you still dare to fight with me?" Wu Ziyue had made up his mind to put all his faults on Mu Hanyan's head. Seeing her coming to him, he was overjoyed.
Mu Hanyan was seriously injured in the fight against the Chaos Beast. Even a fool could see that. How could he take her seriously?
"Do you think that just because I'm seriously injured, I can let you do whatever you want?" Mu Hanyan glanced at Wu Ziyue and said lightly.
"Isn't it?" Wu Ziyue raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully.
Even though he didn't have as powerful six senses as Mu Hanyan, his own strength was not weak. It could be seen that Mu Hanyan's steps were weak and her voice was a little lacking in energy. It was obvious that her strength had not recovered yet, and she probably couldn't even exert 30% of her strength.
"A frog in the well!" Mu Hanyan smiled contemptuously and slowly drew out the Hanxiao Sword.
"Mu Hanyan was ostensibly an envoy, but in reality, he harbored evil intentions. His scheme was exposed, and he attempted to assassinate this city lord, only to be executed on the spot. What do you think of this?" Wu Ziyue said with a sinister smile. His intentions were known to everyone, and he didn't bother to hide them. As long as Mu Hanyan and her group were killed, there would be no witnesses. He would have the final say.
With the support of his comrade, Father Wang, he doesn't have to worry about what others will say.
"As the descendant of the King of the Same Rank and the lord of a city, you are so despicable and shameless. If the throne really passes into your hands, I don't know how many people will suffer a fate worse than death. But fortunately, you don't have that chance." As soon as Mu Hanyan finished speaking, she rushed straight towards Wu Ziyue.
"Lord Mu, don't do that!" The old general and the head of the Geng family exclaimed in unison.
Of course, they could also see that Mu Hanyan's strength was greatly reduced at this time, and she could not be Wu Ziyue's opponent at all. Wouldn't it be suicide to rush forward like this?
"Looking for death!" Wu Ziyue laughed grimly and slashed out with his sword.
This sword condensed all of Wu Ziyue's strength, and it was obvious that he was determined to kill Mu Hanyan on the spot. In comparison, Mu Hanyan's frail figure seemed so powerless.
"Stop!" everyone shouted in unison.
Even the people in the city not far away were like this. Even though Shangyue and Anyun had been enemies for generations, they were all kind-hearted. They could never do something like Wu Ziyue's, which was to repay kindness with enmity. They also didn't want to see their savior die tragically at the hands of Wu Ziyue's sword.
Unfortunately, Wu Ziyue was determined to kill, so how could he be influenced by them? The sword still slashed towards Mu Hanyan without any deviation.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan was about to die, everyone was filled with shame and many shed tears.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared out of thin air.
"Nine Heavens, Stars Fall!" Before Wu Ziyue could react to what was happening, Mu Hanyan's cold voice came from the air, and that beautiful face appeared in everyone's sight again.
Wu Ziyue was startled and suddenly retracted the sword force that had just been swung out halfway. He hurriedly slashed towards Mu Hanyan again, but the power was much smaller.
With a loud "bang", Wu Ziyue was chopped away by Mu Hanyan's sword.
Mu Hanyan gently fell to the ground, unharmed.
Wu Ziyue was not wrong. She was indeed seriously injured and could not even exert 30% of her strength. However, Wu Ziyue did not know that she still had the ability to change her shape, the Cang Xuan Yunsha and the Liuli Holy Clothes. If she faced other opponents of equal strength, Mu Hanyan would not be very confident of winning with just these two things. But she had long seen that Wu Ziyue had strength but no practical experience and courage. In the final analysis, he was just a fool. How could she take him seriously?
The cold sword is like snow, and the clothes are like colorful clouds. At this moment, Mu Hanyan exudes holiness and majesty. She is like a fairy from the ninth heaven, or like an ancient god of war coming to the earth. People dare not look directly at her.
At this moment, almost everyone felt the urge to bow down in worship.
"No, impossible, impossible?" Wu Ziyue spat out blood and looked at Mu Hanyan in disbelief.
The sword strike just now not only severed all the meridians in his body, but also shattered his Qi Sea. Even if he could be healed, his life would be ruined.
Mu Hanyan would have chosen not to take action against this despicable traitor who repays kindness with enmity, but since she did, she would certainly show no mercy. If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Miss Mu understood this truth only too well.
