Others might not be able to discern Mu Hanyan's condition, but she could. The sword strike that had defeated Wu Zifeng earlier, seemingly effortless, had in fact completely drained her vital energy. This wasn't just her; the same was true for Hua Yue and the others. Don't underestimate the power boost from Grand Swordsman to Sword Saint. For most people in this world, it's an impossible feat. Mu Hanyan's mere exhaustion of vital energy without any other adverse consequences was already a miracle.
As she cried out in surprise, Lu Nianxin had already flown over. Unfortunately, she was a little far away, and she hadn't expected Mo Yunhai to have the strength of a Sword Saint, so it was too late for her to attack.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Weicheng and Mo Yunhai arrived in front of Mu Hanyan, and slapped her with their palms at the same time. The powerful palm force broke through the air and made a sound like muffled thunder.
Lu Nianxin was even more shocked when she saw this. It was obvious that Lin Weicheng and Mo Yunhai did not notice anything unusual about Mu Hanyan. They were afraid of the sword she had used to defeat Wu Zifeng before, so they used at least 80% of their strength in this palm!
If her strength was intact, Mu Hanyan might still be able to withstand the combined attack of the two, but now her energy was exhausted. Even if she took the pill in time, she could only recover 30% of her strength at most.
"Stop!" Lu Nianxin was anxious and angry, and roared with her eyes bloodshot.
But Lin Weicheng and Mo Yunhai had already staked everything on one thing, and Mu Hanyan was their only chance to bargain and survive, so how could they stop?
Just as Mu Hanyan was about to be injured by the two men, a tall and handsome figure suddenly stood in front of her.
"Looking for death!" Ye Lanxuan shouted coldly, and slapped out with both palms lightly.
When the four palms collided, Lin Weicheng and Mo Yunhai were shocked and could no longer move, as if they were petrified.
A breeze blew, and the two men's bodies swayed, and they fell straight to the ground without any sound.
The ministers then noticed that in the mere moment when the four palms came into contact, the two men had already died, apparently their heart meridians had been directly severed by the shock.
"Such terrifying strength!" Ye Lanxuan, like Hua Yue and the others, had silently followed Mu Hanyan. Everyone had previously mistaken him for one of Mu Hanyan's followers, not even noticing his appearance. Only then did they realize he was handsome and possessed a distinguished demeanor. While Hua Yue and the others beside him were no less impressive, they still felt somewhat lacking. Clearly, this person was more than just a mere follower.
Of course, what shocked people the most was his strength. A great swordsman, a sword saint, had no power to resist in front of him. His heart meridians were directly broken, so fast that there was almost no sound. What kind of strength was this!
I didn't expect that Mu Hanyan is not only powerful herself, but also has such a master by her side.
People looked at Wu Tianxiong, who had already died, with a hint of pity in their eyes. Even if the Queen Mother was truly under the influence of a forbidden technique, with such a master by Mu Hanyan's side, he would have no chance of seizing the throne.
"Have you improved your strength again?" This was not the first time Mu Hanyan saw Ye Lanxun take action. She could easily notice the changes in his strength and asked in surprise.
"There has indeed been some progress." Ye Lanxuan said with a smile.
Hua Yue and the others also smiled with relief. Although they knew that Mu Hanyan would be safe with Ye Lanxun around, they still broke into a cold sweat when Lin Weicheng and Mo Yunhai attacked. Now that Mu Hanyan was safe and sound and Ye Lanxun's strength had improved, they were happy for him.
While Hua Yue and the others were smiling, an old man with an unremarkable appearance among the Wu family disciples had a look of fear in his eyes.
This person was naturally Tian Annan, who disguised himself as a Wu family attendant and came to the palace for a banquet. He had originally promised Wu Tianxiong that if there were generals in the army who did not know the current situation, he would help to intimidate them. But now, before it was his turn to intimidate others, he was severely intimidated by Ye Lanxuan.
He remembered that during their last fight, Ye Lanxun was able to break his Heavenly Thunder Sword Formation mainly due to the power of the Thousand Breaking Sword. However, when he saw Ye Lanxun take action again this time, he knew that Ye Lanxun had made great progress in strength in recent times. Even without the Thousand Breaking Sword, he would not have been able to defeat the opponent.
If Lu Nianxin were added to the mix, he would surely die.
Anyway, Wu Tianxiong was dead and the original plan was ruined. Tian Annan didn't bother to care about the life and death of the Wu family members. While everyone's eyes were on Ye Lanxun, he suddenly took off into the air and flew out of the palace.
In a hurry to escape, Tian Annan no longer cared about hiding his strength. Looking at his body movements, Lu Nianxin recognized him at a glance. This person was the Saint-level master who sneaked into the palace and injured him last night.
"It's you!" Lu Nianxin shouted angrily, flew over and slashed at his back with a knife.
"It's indeed him!" Ye Lanxuan also recognized Tian Annan, and the Thousand Breaking Swords attacked almost at the same time.
Although the two men's reactions were quick, Tian Annan was well prepared after all, and his speed was much faster than the two. Just as Tian Annan was about to fly over the courtyard wall, a long sword with a strange appearance suddenly appeared in front of him.
This strangely crafted long sword is the Fairy Sword forged by the novice Mu Hanyan.
"You think you can stop me with this piece of scrap metal?" Tian Annan was slightly startled, but soon found that there was no power in the sword at all, as if it was thrown out by someone in a hurry. He snorted coldly and slapped it.
"Boom!" A loud thunder exploded, and Tian Annan's body suddenly stopped. Caught off guard, the sword robe on his body was blown to pieces, and his hair became like a chicken coop.
This is the Heavenly Fairy that Mu Hanyan refined after she was promoted to a great swordsman. It used up nearly half of the meteorite gold on her body, and its power is more than several times higher than before.
Unfortunately, as his strength increased, it became increasingly difficult to seal his cultivation in the sword, and the requirements for meteorite gold became higher and higher, so Mu Hanyan only refined one.
"What the hell is this thing? It's so powerful." After all, Tian Annan is not an ordinary sword master. Although he was in a very miserable state, he was not injured. His head was just confused for a moment by the explosion.
In this brief moment when he was confused, Lu Nianxin's sword energy and Ye Lanxun's sword light came at the same time!
It was too late for Tian Annan to run away at this time, so he could only bite the bullet, turn around and swing his sword.
With a crisp sound of "Ka", the long sword in his hand broke into two pieces, and the whole person was chopped away.
He was indeed very strong, and the sword in his hand was definitely not an ordinary one, but no matter how strong he was, how could he withstand the joint attack of Lu Nianxin and Ye Lanxun, not to mention that he had been dizzy from Mu Hanyan's Flying Fairy.
Tian Annan spat out a mouthful of blood mist, fell on his back, his body twitched a few times, and then he stretched out his legs and was motionless. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.
