You have to know that the origins of this support army are complicated. Before this, let alone cooperating with each other, they probably didn't even know each other. The person who can make them obey orders so strictly is definitely not an ordinary person.
With doubts, Mu Hanyan led Hua Yue and others into the canyon and headed straight to the front of the battlefield.
A violent stone monster whose strength is comparable to that of a great swordsman roared angrily. A great swordsman and four ninth-level swordsmen were fighting with it with all their strength. This violent stone monster had obviously also comprehended the innate ability. At every critical moment, it would use the petrification technique and turn into a stone sculpture. Even if there was a great swordsman on the opposite side, he was still helpless against it.
Fortunately, an old man in a gray robe stood in front. Whenever the violent stone monster turned to stone, he would shout and strike out with his palm. The power of his palm was so magnificent that even the violent stone monster in the petrification was shocked and retreated repeatedly.
The old man's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was filled with violence. If you ignored his figure and face, and only looked at his aura, he was like a monster that had gone mad after being injured.
What was even more bizarre was that every time he slapped out with his palm, a beast-shaped shadow would appear, with its dragon whiskers fluttering and its ferocious appearance revealed.
A beast in human form! Nian Anyao.
It turned out that this old man was the Fifth Prince's former subordinate, Nian Anyao, who was known as the best beast tamer since Xia Youchen.
Seeing him blocking the violent stone monster while commanding everyone to attack, defend, advance and retreat, Mu Hanyan also knew who was the leader of the support army.
Nian Anyao was already famous, and since this was a battle against aliens, only he could win the support of the people.
Although Nian Anyao was able to stop the violent stone monster with his beast-taming technique of a human face and a beast heart, Mu Hanyan knew that with his beast-taming technique, there were still many disadvantages to using it, and it might even cost him his lifespan. A prolonged battle would definitely be disadvantageous. If something unexpected happened to him, the other people would be leaderless and would become scattered, and would be no match for these strange beasts.
"Stars fall, the Eight Desolations." Mu Hanyan used her strongest attack without hesitation, and at the same time, she also made sword moves in her hand.
Hua Yue and the others understood what he meant and executed sword moves at the same time.
The sword light with a faint blue hue slashed down from the sky, like a meteor passing by, and the overwhelming momentum made everyone tremble.
In the canyon filled with the roar of killing, there was a moment of dead silence, as if time had temporarily stopped.
At Qingyang Pass, Tan Taixuan and others all had their mouths wide open, unable to close them for a long time.
Sword Saint! Mu Hanyan could actually display the strength of a Sword Saint.
You little brat, you have the power of a Sword Saint, but you didn't use it earlier. You made me so happy for nothing, and I waited so long, and you almost made me lose my friends and reputation, causing me to lose everything. Tan Taixuan almost burst into curses.
However, he didn't know that although Mu Hanyan could display the sword power of the Sword Saint, she could only use up all her energy with three sword strikes at most, and even Hua Yue and others would be exhausted. She also knew that with the pressure of the Nether Beast, those three sword strikes alone would not be enough to repel all the strange beasts, so she had been enduring until now.
The sword light slashed down, and the mad stone beast let out a muffled groan and was violently cut and sent flying, blood gushing out, unable to get up for a long time. The gap between a great swordsman and a ninth-level swordsman is already insurmountable for most practitioners in this world, let alone the gap between a swordsman saint and a great swordsman. Even if this violent stone beast was comparable to a great swordsman and had comprehended the innate ability of petrification, it could not bridge this gap.
Although Mu Hanyan failed to kill him with one sword, she inflicted heavy injuries on him, leaving him unable to fight again.
The violent stone beast that even a great swordsman, three ninth-level swordsmen, and Nian Anyao, known as the best beast tamer after Xia Youchen, were helpless against was actually severely damaged by Mu Hanyan's sword!
Both the human reinforcements in the canyon and the soldiers and civilians who stayed behind at Beining Pass shouted and cheered.
Even the aristocratic children at Qingyang Pass across the way cheered loudly, ignoring the darkened expressions of Tan Taixuan, Changsun Yian, and the others. Mu Hanyan's strike had completely ignited their bloodlust. While Tan Taixuan and the others were stunned, nearly a hundred more people leaped down the pass and charged into the canyon.
The strange beasts trapped in the canyon were horrified. They possessed immense intelligence, and Mu Hanyan's sword had already stirred an instinctive fear within them. Even the pressure of the underworld beast couldn't suppress their intelligence and instincts.
"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.
The strange beast was already frightened, and how could it withstand the ancient power of the Aolai beast? It lowered its body, hummed softly, and retreated involuntarily.
Seeing this, everyone cheered again.
"Roar..." Suddenly, a beast roared. Under the cold moonlight, a layer of mist rose from the back of the canyon, and a strange beast slowly walked out of the mist.
No, this is not a strange beast!
Whether it was the slender figure, the powerful feet, or the sharp horn on its head, it was completely different from the strange beasts that people knew. More importantly, its entire body was scarlet in color, with a strong dark aura, as if it had just walked out of magma, and the flames on its body had not yet gone out.
The underworld beast, this is the legendary Nine Netherworld Beast.
Its eyes stared intently at Mu Hanyan, and Mu Hanyan stared back at it. Just by looking at those eyes, as red as charcoal fire, Mu Hanyan knew that this was the same underworld beast she had confronted in Beiguan Town, the culprit behind the beast rebellion.
It finally showed up!
With another loud roar, the Nether Beast rose into the air and headed towards Mu Hanyan like an arrow.
Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that this underworld beast actually had a pair of wings, which, when spread out, were several feet wide. As the wings flapped, a powerful aura and pressure emanated from it.
Sword Saint! This aura was definitely not inferior to that of a Sword Saint. More importantly, it contained a dark aura of death, completely different from the Sword Saints of the Holy Court Continent.
Mu Hanyan's heart sank. Although she could unleash the might of a Sword Saint with the help of the five magical instruments, she only had three swords. Excluding the previous one, she actually only had two more chances. Was it possible to kill the Nether Beast in front of her, which also possessed the strength of a Sword Saint, with two swords?
However, Mu Hanyan was not too worried, because the next moment, a graceful and elegant figure appeared in front of her.
Ye Lanxuan finally took action. This was the opponent he had been waiting for.
A red flame gushed out from the claws of the underworld beast, like a flaming spear. Its entire body was shrouded in a dark red halo, giving people an eerie feeling, as if it were the legendary demon from the abyss of hell.
