Mu Hanyan and the other four stood in a line and walked straight towards the Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants. Their steps were not fast, but they were so determined, without any hesitation or fear.
"He...what do they want to do?" Mu Chengqi stammered.
Everyone around looked at him with contempt. Even a fool would have known that Mu Hanyan and the other four wanted to stop the advance of those Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants.
However, the power of the Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant is so tyrannical, and its defense is so strong. If it were not for its gentle nature, its ranking among the strange beasts would probably be much lower than that of the Violent Stone Demon Beast. Can the five of them alone withstand the impact of these Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants?
The roar of the beasts was deafening, and the entire city wall was shaking violently. The wind whistled across the mountains and fields, blowing their long hair, and the figures of Mu Hanyan and others also added a bit of tragic and heroic meaning.
On the city walls, whether it was the citizens of Beiguan Town, the soldiers defending the city, or the descendants of the Yan and He families, as well as those of other families, all stood in awe. He felt something stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The city lord and the soldiers and civilians in the city were all filled with tears. They knew that even if the city fell, with their desperate resistance, Mu Hanyan, as the leader of the aristocratic families, would have a chance to escape calmly. But not only did she not leave, she took the initiative to confront the Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephant with several followers. This was clearly for them, as well as for the lesser-cultivated people in the town.
Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanyan, this name echoed in everyone's heart. This is Mu Hanyan, this is Mu Hanyan!
Mu Chengxuan, Yan Yuchu and others looked at each other, pressed the hilts of their swords, and prepared to jump off the city wall.
"Don't move, just watch." At this moment, Mu Hanyan waved her hand and gave an order.
Mu Chengxuan and others were slightly startled, and finally stopped.
Finally, the red cloud golden armored elephant in the front rushed to Mu Hanyan. This was also the strongest one.
Seeing that these tiny humans dared to stand in front of it, the already somewhat crazy Red Cloud Golden Armored Beast was obviously enraged. It roared wildly and smashed the huge rock picked up by its long trunk heavily at Mu Hanyan.
This attack was definitely no less powerful than a great swordsman's all-out sword strike. Upon hearing the dull whistling sound, the faces of everyone on the city wall changed.
"Nine days, stars falling!" Mu Hanyan's expression was still so calm and composed.
The Hanxiao Sword cast a cold light on the ground. Without dodging or giving way, it slashed at the huge rock that was coming towards it, which contained the power of a great swordsman.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise and stone chips flew everywhere.
Mu Hanyan chopped the huge rock into powder with one sword. The remaining power of the sword actually shocked the Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant and made it retreat several steps.
On the city wall, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. The people of Beiguan Town didn't know Mu Hanyan's true strength. While they could guess she was above the level of Sword Master, given her young age, they assumed she was no more than a fourth or fifth-rank Sword Master. The aristocratic children of the capital, however, had some idea of Mu Hanyan's abilities before she left the capital; they knew she was a sixth-rank Sword Master.
But who could have imagined that during her trip to Shangyue Kingdom, her strength would rise from the sixth level of swordsman to the tenth level of swordsman - the realm of a great swordsman!
"Thunder sound, the sky shakes!" A thunder sounded nearby, and another red cloud golden armored elephant was shocked back!
Hua Yue's tall and solid figure still guarded Mu Hanyan.
"Demon sword, kill with the heart!" A ghostly figure passed by, and the other red cloud golden armored elephant was forced to retreat by the strange long sword in his hand. Although it kept rolling its long trunk to hit the flying boulders, it was always just a hair's breadth away and could not pose any threat to it at all.
The one who made the move was naturally the demon sword Zirong, which was able to see through countless mysteries.
"Clones, disillusion!" Three identical figures leaped high, slashing down at the Scarlet Cloud Golden-Armored Elephant below with immense force. Though its defense and strength were considered pinnacle among exotic beasts, it faced this innate magical power, which went beyond mere exquisiteness, with no means of breaking it. The sword beam, imbued with the powerful energy of a ninth-level swordsman, struck it unimpeded. With a muffled roar, the Scarlet Cloud Golden-Armored Elephant was repelled.
"Rage, Demon Slash!" Tang Bufan's clothes fluttered, his long hair dancing wildly as he slashed out with his sword one after another. There was no skill, no reservation, and he was willing to sacrifice his life.
The strange beasts are also intelligent, and are no less intelligent than humans. Faced with this crazy attack, the Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant in front of him can only fight head-on.
Loud noises came one after another, like raindrops. In a blink of an eye, Tang Bufan had already slashed out more than ten swords. His face turned a little pale, and a trace of blood appeared faintly at the corner of his mouth. However, the Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant opposite him retreated again and again, and even showed a bit of fear in its eyes.
Everyone was stunned. It turned out that not only Mu Hanyan had the strength of a great swordsman, but the followers around her had also reached the ninth or eighth level of swordsmanship. Judging from their moves, their true combat power was obviously far beyond their cultivation level.
No one knew who spoke first, but finally thunderous shouts and cheers rang out on the city wall.
While the Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephant's strength and defense were comparable to those of the Raging Stone Beast, its gentle nature meant its combat skills were far inferior to those of the Raging Stone Beast. Possessing innate divine strength and impenetrable defense, it didn't know how to use them. All it knew was to clumsily swing its equally armor-covered trunk around, or even more clumsily lift its pillar-like legs and stomp down hard.
Such an attack would certainly not pose any threat to Hua Yue and others who had exquisite sword skills and agile body movements. What's more, with the strength of a ninth-level swordsman plus their innate magical powers, the absolute power they could unleash was not much worse than that of the other side.
Under the wave after wave of attacks from several people, several Red Cloud Golden Armored Beasts retreated again and again, and their eyes, which originally contained madness, also showed fear.
The hierarchy between the exotic beasts is stricter and more insurmountable than that of humans. With these red cloud golden armored elephants in the front, the groups of low-level exotic beasts behind them didn't dare to cross the line at all. As the red cloud golden armored elephants retreated, horror appeared in their eyes.
"In the name of Aolai, I command all the beasts in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish!" Mu Hanyan lost no time in reciting the contract with the divine beast.
In an instant, the night sky was filled with wind and clouds, and the area within a radius of several miles was shrouded in the ancient, desolate, and at the same time majestic power of the divine beast.
All the strange beasts trembled violently, and were so frightened that they hardly dared to raise their heads.
"In the name of Aolai, I command all the beasts in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish! I..." Mu Hanyan recited the contract with the divine beast over and over again.
Back in Fangjia Town, even the ferocious Iron-backed Sabre-toothed Tiger and the Earth-violent Bear, known for its brutality, could not withstand the might of this divine beast, let alone the gentle Red Cloud Golden-armored Elephant.
