Soon, Mu Hanyan and his party arrived under the city wall. Below, thousands of strange beasts were rushing towards Fangjia Town frantically. Most of them were only equivalent to the strength of a third or fourth-level swordsman. Some were slightly stronger, but rarely exceeded the eighth-level swordsman. However, the few in the front were far superior to their peers.
Among them are two saber-toothed iron-back tigers, two dragon-scaled fire-patterned rhinos and one earth-storm bear. The first three have strength comparable to that of a ninth-level swordsman, while the last earth-storm bear is obviously different from the others. Its hair is a light golden color, and it has also reached the eighth-level swordsman.
Beside him, the guards responsible for defending the city and the children of the Fang family all turned pale, and even their legs were shaking.
They had participated in the battles since the first beast raid, and had a deep understanding of the power of the exotic beasts. However, at first, the exotic beasts were far fewer and weaker, only a few hundred in number, the strongest being equivalent to a sixth or seventh-rank swordsman. Later, they became more and more numerous and increasingly powerful, from a few hundred to thousands. Especially after several powerful beings of the eighth and ninth ranks appeared, they were completely unable to resist. It was only thanks to the intervention of Tan Taixuan and others that they managed to hold on to Fangjia Town.
This time, not only were there thousands of strange beasts rushing towards them, but the number of powerful strange beasts leading the group also increased from four to five, and there was also an additional saber-toothed iron-backed tiger that was equivalent to a ninth-level swordsman.
Seeing that the attacking beast was so powerful, even the head of the Fang family changed his expression and hesitated whether to persuade Mu Hanyan to leave first.
"Mu Hanyan, now you know how powerful these strange beasts are. Do you want to see our strength?" Noticing the changes on the faces of Patriarch Fang and others, Tan Taixuan said proudly.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan glanced at Tan Taixuan. Of course she knew their strength, but she was still a little curious about their true combat power.
"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Luo, Junior Brother Wei, please help us teach that saber-toothed iron-backed tiger a lesson, and let Miss Mu see our true strength." Tan Taixuan waved his hand and said.
The three people behind him stepped out, roared loudly, and attacked the iron-backed saber-toothed tiger in the front.
Three sword beams shone brightly, stirring up turbulent dust and smoke. In just a moment, the three men were fighting with the iron-backed saber-toothed tiger.
Ordinary saber-toothed tigers are good at attacking, but their defense is not very strong, so they cannot be called top-level beasts. However, the Ironback Sabertooth Tiger is an outlier among them. Not only does its attack power far exceed that of ordinary saber-toothed tigers, its defense is also increased exponentially, so the word "Ironback" is added to its name.
If it were the Chamber of Commerce guards, even with their utmost strength, they wouldn't have been able to injure it in the slightest. However, one of Tan Taixuan's three brothers and sisters was a ninth-rank swordsman, and two were eighth-rank swordsmen. Their combined strength left a half-inch-deep wound on the Ironback Sabertooth Tiger's iron-hard back. While it didn't injure its internal organs, it still sent it retreating repeatedly. Afterward, it struggled to defend itself against the combined attack of the three.
Mu Hanyan frowned. Although these three people were quite powerful, one was a ninth-level swordsman and two were eighth-level swordsmen, their strength surprised her.
I originally thought that since these people were Tan Tai Xuan's senior and junior brothers, they must be members of the Holy Court. Their actual combat power should be higher than that of ordinary masters of the same level. However, their sword power was obviously only average, and there was nothing surprising about it.
They were only on par with the average masters of the same rank, and still far behind many talented children from aristocratic families. It was just that ordinary practitioners, even descendants of great families, would hardly have the strength of an eighth or ninth-rank swordsman at their age.
Could it be that their strength was forcibly increased by using elixirs or other rare treasures? Mu Hanyan secretly speculated.
Tan Taixuan had no idea what Mu Hanyan was thinking. Seeing her frown, his expression became even more complacent.
"Mu Hanyan, now you have seen the strength of others. It's not too late to change your mind." Park Donghan started to make noise again when he saw the strength of several senior and junior brothers of Tan Taixuan.
Mu Hanyan smiled and looked at the strange beasts, not even bothering to pay attention to him.
The iron-armored saber-toothed tiger was trapped, but its companions seemed unaware of it. They continued to roar to the sky and rushed towards Fangjia Town madly. For a moment, dust and smoke billowed, and the whole earth was shaking slightly.
Even though they were still hundreds of feet away, one could almost smell the blood gushing from their mouths and feel their madness and brutality.
Seeing this, the guards on the city wall became extremely anxious, but they did not dare to say anything more. They could only stare at Mu Hanyan.
"Mu Hanyan, what are you waiting for? If you want to die, that's fine, but I don't want to be your scapegoat." Park Donghan couldn't bear it anymore and cursed loudly.
"Don't worry, you won't die!" Mu Hanyan looked at him coldly, then turned to look at Hua Yue and others.
The strength of the strange beasts in front is similar to that of Hua Yue and others, so it is a good opportunity to gain experience.
Huayue and the others understood, nodded, and flew down from the city wall at the same time.
"What do they want to do?" Everyone was shocked when they saw the actions of Huayue and others.
Mu Hanyan's strength is that of a sixth-level swordsman. Although she is considered an expert among her peers, she is unable to contend with those powerful exotic beasts. Hua Yue and the others are just her followers, and it is said that they are originally guards. No matter how strong they are, they should never be stronger than Mu Hanyan. Wouldn't it be suicide to rush forward like this?
"Mu Hanyan, you are just stubborn. How can you let your followers die in such a senseless way!" A manager of the Chamber of Commerce thought that Mu Hanyan didn't care about the lives of his followers at all. He couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
"I know you are the eldest grandson of the head of the Mu family and you are of higher status than others, but you cannot take human life so lightly!" The other managers also said angrily.
Most of them were of common origin, just like Hua Yue and the others, so they were filled with indignation when they saw that Mu Shouyan did not value their lives and sent them to die.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. I, Mu Hanyan, am not the kind of person who is so stubborn that I don't care about the lives of my friends." Seeing that these people all had good intentions, Mu Hanyan did not get angry in the face of their accusations, but smiled and said.
"Mu Hanyan, even at this point you still..." Seeing that Mu Hanyan had no intention of waking up and was still smiling so nonchalantly, the Chamber of Commerce managers felt sorry for Hua Yue and others and said with great sorrow.
However, before they could finish their words, their eyes widened in surprise and they couldn't utter a word.
