Seeing that Mu Hanyan didn't say anything, Gu Huangji didn't bother to say anything more. He drew his sword and chopped it directly at Mu Hanyan's head.
Although Mu Hanyan had just severely injured Bu Xuanji with a sword, he could see that she was actually only at the peak of the great swordsman level, so he didn't take her seriously at all, and naturally there was no need for him to use the Immortal Prison again.
"Stars fall, the Eight Desolations!" Although Gu Huangji's sword looked so easy and casual, Mu Hanyan did not dare to underestimate it at all and still put all her strength into it.
The two sword beams collided violently, Mu Hanyan's chest stagnated, and then, both he and his sword were blown away.
"Hanyan!" Yue Fanchen flew up and wanted to protect Mu Hanyan, but was shocked to the point of vomiting blood on the spot, and fell down like a kite with a broken string.
"Bang!" Mu Hanyan slammed heavily into the stone platform and barely managed to steady her body. She felt the blood surging in her chest, as if it was about to explode. Her arms were sore and numb, and as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
"Your strength has improved a bit. You can take my sword now." Gu Huangji's words seemed to be praise, but more of it was a disdainful sneer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword again.
Mu Hanyan struggled to raise her sword, and when the swords clashed, there was a thunderous sound. Mu Hanyan leaned against the stone platform, and even the solid stone platform collapsed with a loud bang. She herself was in excruciating pain all over, as if every bone in her body was shattered.
Mu Hanyan glanced at the sword spirit and sighed inwardly. The realm of Heaven and Earth Sword Heart wasn't easy to reach. Other practitioners couldn't comprehend it once in their entire lives, yet she actually wanted to comprehend it repeatedly. That was too much of a fantasy.
"Very good, very good. You can actually take two of my swords. If you were born in the Continent of Gods, I would definitely accept you as my disciple. But unfortunately, you are from the Holy Court, so I have no choice but to kill you. By the way, don't expect anyone to save you anymore. The traitor Fen Qianji can't even protect himself now. I'm afraid he will die without even a trace left. He actually dared to betray the temple and become my enemy. This is his end, hahahaha." Gu Huangji laughed.
"What happened to Qian Ji?" Mu Hanyan was seriously injured and her consciousness was a little blurred. However, she was shocked when she heard the words and asked in surprise.
"You will be able to see him soon, so you should go and ask him in person." Gu Huangji said lightly, and then swung his sword again.
Mu Hanyan bit her teeth hard and raised her sword again with great difficulty. However, even she knew that this sword would not be able to stop Gu Huangji no matter what.
Perhaps, this time, there was truly no escape. Nine tribulations of life and death, all returning to one. Life or death, eternal annihilation. This time, would it be complete annihilation, or eternal ascension to godhood? Needless to say, Mu Hanyan knew it was certain death.
Thinking of Fen Qianji, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Judging from what Gu Huangji said, Fen Qianji should not be dead yet, but looking at his confident expression, it is estimated that even if Fen Qianji is not dead, he is in great danger and will eventually be unable to escape. If it weren't for her, Fen Qianji would not have ended up like this.
Gu Huangji's sword was getting closer and closer. The huge sword power made Mu Hanyan breathless. She even didn't have the strength to block the sword in front of her. She just held the sword woodenly.
"Seven Stars to Set the Sky, Bind!" Suddenly, a hunched figure stood in front of her. It was Ao Fangchen.
At this time, Ao Fangchen was holding a magic weapon in his left hand, and making hand gestures with his right hand tremblingly. The seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple were flashing on the magic weapon, converging into seven star points, surrounding Gu Huangji's body like seven stars holding the moon.
Gu Huangji still maintained his previous posture, but was unable to move forward. It turned out that this magic weapon also had the effect of restraint.
It turns out this old man has such a magical weapon. Why didn't he take it out before? Mu Hanyan thought with some resentment.
"Mu Hanyan, this magic weapon of mine won't last long. Take the sword spirit and let's go!" Ao Fangchen said, signaling with his eyes to the magic weapon that Bu Xuanji had left on the ground.
It was not until this time that Mu Hanyan noticed that the magic weapon in his left hand was constantly breaking. It was not just a matter of not being able to hold on for long. It would be completely shattered in a moment at most.
Ao Fangchen was actually a little helpless. This Seven-Star Heaven-Fixing Plate was refined by the seven elders of their Shenlao Peak in the past. It was severely damaged in the war a thousand years ago. He could not completely repair it by himself, and it was no longer useful.
When he had previously entered the Holy Soul Illusion Realm and was fighting against the restrictions of the illusion, the Seven Star Heaven-Fixing Plate had shown some signs of damage. Now that he was using all his strength to destroy it, it was naturally broken even more severely.
To him, the Seven Star Heaven-Fixing Plate was more than just a magical instrument; it was also a testament to the brotherhood between the seven elders. He would never use it unless absolutely necessary. Seeing the Seven Star Heaven-Fixing Plate shattering, his heart was broken.
However, he knew that if the sword spirit fell into the hands of the temple, it would definitely be a huge disaster for the Holy See, and he had no other choice.
"Go!" Ao Fangchen yelled again.
Mu Hanyan did not hesitate. She picked up the magic lantern left on the ground by Bu Xuanji and rushed to the front of the sword spirit.
Although this magical weapon was left by Bu Xuanji's great-grandfather, it was forged using the alchemical techniques of the Holy Court Continent. This was understandable. After infiltrating the Holy Court, he had risked his life to conceal the secret of his origins, so he naturally didn't dare to bring a temple artifact with him. This magical weapon was obviously forged after he arrived in the Holy Court.
Mu Hanyan's mind was working rapidly, thinking about the refining technique while trying to make hand gestures. Soon, an orange beam of light lit up on the palace lantern.
The beam of light projected onto the sword spirit, and the faint blue flame gradually became more illusory, while a faint breath of the sword spirit appeared in the palace lantern.
Time passed quickly, and the flame became more and more illusory, until only a very vague shadow remained. However, the aura of the sword spirit in the palace lantern became stronger and stronger.
It’s almost successful! Mu Hanyan’s heart unconsciously rose to her throat.
"Break it for me!" At this moment, the angry shout of Gu Huangji suddenly came to his ears.
Mu Hanyan subconsciously turned her head and saw that Gu Huangji's whole body was full of surging energy. He slashed out with a heavy sword, and the invisible restriction outside his body that bound him was like a huge rock falling from a calm lake, causing waves to rise and fall.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the Seven Star Heaven-Fixing Plate was shaken by the power of the sword, and was covered with spider webs and was about to fall apart.
Ao Fangchen concentrated all his energy and mind into the Seven Star Heaven-fixing Plate. He was also shocked by the power of the sword and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Break! Break! Break it for me!" Gu Huangji roared angrily and slashed out with another sword.
Ao Fangchen's eyes were wide open with anger as he continued to make hand gestures. As he fought, blood gushed out of his mouth.
Although he had tried his best, it was obvious that the Seven-Star Heaven-Fixing Plate, which had been broken into pieces, could not withstand the next sword attack from Gu Huangji.
