Watching Gu Hunji walk towards the sword spirit, Mu Hanyan's hand quietly grasped the hilt of the sword.
Although the sword fight with Ao Fangchen just now consumed all her strength, Mu Hanyan was surprised to find that her recovery speed was dozens or even hundreds of times faster than before. Not long after, she had recovered half of her strength. If she guessed correctly, this should also be related to the sword spirit.
Of course, relying on this 50% of her energy, she obviously couldn't be a match for Gu Huangji, but this sword spirit was too important to her, and she couldn't just watch it fall into the hands of others. No matter what, she would fight with all her might!
"Dragon breaks, sword cuts!" Just as Mu Hanyan was about to attack, Wei Xiaotian suddenly took off into the air and attacked Bu Xuanji again.
Mu Hanyan was somewhat surprised by Wei Xiaotian's actions. With his injuries, this was practically a suicide mission. Yet, there was no hesitation on his face, only an unwavering determination. This Wei Xiaotian was completely different from the despicable villain Mu Hanyan had imagined, someone who would do anything to achieve his goals.
"Clang..." There was another crisp sound, and Wei Xiaotian was once again knocked back by Bu Xuanji's sword, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
"You want to live!" Ao Fangchen held Wei Xiaotian and took out a pill for him to take.
"We must not let them get this sword spirit, otherwise the Holy Court will be in great disaster!" Wei Xiaotian spat out another mouthful of blood, but his expression became even more determined.
"Is this sword spirit really that important?" Ao Fangchen couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Wuchen's Wuchen Sword comes from the same sword spirit." Wei Xiaotian didn't have time to explain too much. Without the Holy Lord's permission, he didn't dare to reveal this secret to others. He just said it briefly.
But just this one sentence was enough. Ao Fangchen had suffered at the hands of Jian Wuchen before and knew the power of his Dustless Sword. Upon hearing this, his expression immediately became extremely solemn.
Originally, he was still thinking whether he should retreat if it really didn't work out. After all, it was not easy to live to this age, and it would not be worth dying like this. But now, he knew that he must not retreat. No matter what, he could not let this sword spirit fall into the hands of the temple!
"Ao Shi, Chen Mie!" Ao Fangchen roared and attacked Gu Huangji, with Wei Xiaotian following closely behind.
Gu Huangji and Bu Xuanji displayed their sword skills and repelled the two men again.
The two men did not pause for a moment. As soon as they stabilized their bodies, they raised their swords and charged forward again.
Once, twice, three times... The crisp sound of swords continued to ring out. In just a moment, the four of them had exchanged more than ten sword strikes.
Finally, after another crisp sound, Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian fell to the ground at the same time. At this time, both of them were covered in blood. Not only were they vomiting blood, but even blood was slowly oozing out of their noses and ears.
They were already seriously injured, and then suffered a series of injuries. Not only were their internal organs shattered, but even their meridians were ruptured.
However, the two men's frantic attack, which risked their lives, was not completely useless. The faces of Gu Huangji and Bu Xuanji turned pale, their chests heaved violently, and their breathing was restless. It was obvious that they had suffered some internal injuries.
After all, Bu Xuanji's strength was only that of a Sword Saint, but he couldn't compare to those Saints. If Wei Xiaotian hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been his opponent. And although Gu Huangji had the aid of a magical weapon, that weapon had its limits, and he couldn't possibly unleash his full potential.
Although the two had the upper hand, if Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian fought to the death, they would have to pay some price.
"I will kill them, and you go to get the sword spirit!" Gu Huangji finally became impatient, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said to Bu Xuanji.
"Yes, sir!" Bu Xuanji responded and walked towards the sword spirit.
As they walked, Bu Xuanji produced a magical instrument. This instrument, shaped like a palace lantern, exuded an ancient charm, and faintly emitted a pale yellow halo. Within the Holy Soul Illusionary Realm, these powerful sword spirits could be found and comprehended by those with the right affinity, but retrieving them was not so easy. This palace lantern-shaped instrument in his hand was specifically designed to retrieve sword spirits, and it was a relic of his great-grandfather.
Seeing the strong murderous intent on Gu Huangji's face, Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian's expressions became more solemn.
"God of darkness, please grant me divine power to imprison thousands of demons and evil spirits...the Prison of No Life!" Gu Huangji suddenly chanted loudly, and the air within a radius of several feet twisted like an invisible cage, covering Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian.
Mu Hanyan was shocked. She remembered that the last time Gu Huangji fought with Fen Qianji, he also used this move. If Fen Qianji had not used the Divine Prison Refining Fire despite being seriously injured, he would not have been his opponent at all.
But in order to cast the Immortal Forbidden Prison, wouldn't it be necessary to use forbidden techniques to break the seal barrier and borrow the power of heaven and earth from the Continent of Gods? Mu Hanyan looked up, but didn't see the sudden change in the situation when the seal was broken.
Seeing Gu Huangji and the black mist outside his body that was floating like flames, and his face that seemed to have aged ten or twenty years in an instant, Mu Hanyan understood. It turned out that he had used a strange technique similar to the blood sacrifice technique, and at the cost of his lifespan, he forcibly cast the Prison of No Life.
"The Prison of No Life!" Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian obviously also knew about this powerful temple magic, and their expressions changed drastically.
The two exchanged glances at the same time, and suddenly, they both spurted out blood. As the blood burned, they actually used the blood sacrifice technique to forcibly increase their strength.
"Ao Shi, Chen Mie!" Ao Fangchen let out a clear whistle and headed towards Gu Huangji.
Relying on the blood sacrifice technique, his combat power increased significantly. Even though he was seriously injured, this sword still had the power to destroy the world.
Mu Hanyan then realized that her previous ability to severely injure Ao Fangchen was sheer luck. If he hadn't been so arrogant and launched that strike right away, she wouldn't have even had the chance to enter the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart and would have been severely injured by his sword long ago.
Ao Fangchen slashed out with sword after sword, and the ancient Huangji's immortal prison was unable to confine him for a while.
"Dragon is broken, sword is cut!" Wei Xiaotian took advantage of this opportunity, flew out from the air of the Wusheng Forbidden Prison, and attacked Bu Xuanji again.
"Wei Xiaotian, I didn't want to kill you because your family has been on good terms with my Bu family for generations. But you insisted on seeking death, so you can't blame me." As Bu Xuanji said this, he drew out his sword again and stabbed it out without mercy.
"Puff!" The cold sword blade directly pierced Wei Xiaotian's ribs and passed through from behind.
Bu Xuanji was slightly stunned. Facing the sword he stabbed out, Wei Xiaotian neither dodged nor blocked it, but let himself be pierced by the sword. To be more precise, it was actually he who bumped into Bu Xuanji's sword.
