Seeing that the sword was about to be struck, Wei Xiaotian rushed to Gu Huangji's side, quickly made a few hand gestures, and at the same time yelled at Mu Hanyan.
At this time, Wei Xiaotian's face was ashen, and the sword wound on his body was still gushing blood, but his expression was extremely firm.
Gu Huangji's long sword once again slashed heavily on the invisible restriction, and an almost transparent light and shadow surged like a raging wave.
With Wei Xiaotian's help, the Seven Star Heaven-fixing Plate was able to withstand Gu Huangji's sword strike again! However, the spider-web-like cracks became even denser.
Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian were trembling all over and they barely had the strength to stand, but they still continued to perform hand gestures with their trembling hands.
"Boom!" Finally, Gu Huangji slashed out the third sword.
The Seven Star Heaven-Fixing Plate flashed with light and shattered with a loud bang. The invisible barrier also completely disappeared, and Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian were knocked to the ground at the same time.
The sword still had some power left, and it swept towards Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian. Although most of its might was consumed by the Seven Star Heaven-fixing Plate, the remaining sword power was definitely not strong, but it was still not something Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian could resist.
Mu Hanyan's hand, which was performing the magic spell, paused slightly. She was just one step away from completely absorbing the sword spirit into the palace lantern. If she stopped now, she would fail. But if she didn't stop, she would have to watch Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian die at the hands of Gu Huangji.
Although she was an enemy rather than a friend, Mu Hanyan was still deeply moved by their previous actions and their loyalty to the Holy Court. It was really difficult to do such a thing as to watch someone in danger and not help.
To save or not to save!
In a flash, Mu Hanyan's mind was in turmoil.
"Master!" At this moment, a figure suddenly pounced on Ao Fangchen, facing the residual power of the sword with his back.
It turned out to be Han Yutang. After not seeing him for a few days, his injuries had all healed. Although his cultivation was completely destroyed, his movements were still extremely agile, much better than that of an ordinary person.
But even so, he could not withstand the residual power of Gu Huangji's sword. He was clearly seeking death.
"Yutang!" Ao Fangchen did not expect him to appear and was equally shocked. He watched the sword light coming towards Han Yutang's back and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Mu Hanyan's heart trembled violently!
Indeed, Han Yutang is uneducated, willful, arrogant, and acts without restraint, but from another perspective, what Ao Fangchen said makes some sense. He is actually just a child at heart and cannot be considered a wicked villain.
Although Wei Xiaotian would do anything to achieve his goal, he was just too selfish and had no ill intentions. He was extremely loyal to the Holy Court and the entire Holy Court Continent.
Ao Fangchen is headstrong, arbitrary, and extremely protective of his own shortcomings, but don't forget that he's a thousand-year-old demon with a prestige within the Holy Court. Even the Holy Lord owes him a great debt of gratitude. Anyone else who has lived to this age and held such a high position would likely be no better off than him.
If times and places were different, they would have died and Mu Hanyan would not have had any ripples in her heart. But now, Mu Hanyan could not watch them die like this, otherwise she would never be able to rest in peace.
It’s a long story, but in fact, all of this was just a fleeting thought in Mu Hanyan’s mind.
"Nine Heavens, Stars Fall!" Mu Hanyan finally stopped the hand gestures and slashed out with a sword.
Dust was flying and air was blowing. The remaining power of Gu Huangji's sword was dispersed by Mu Hanyan's sword.
Her figure also stood between Gu Huangji and everyone else.
"Why did you stop? Alas, alas!" Looking at the dark blue flame that reappeared in its original place, and the mysterious sword shadow in it, Ao Fangchen sighed deeply.
Beside him, Wei Xiaotian also had a gloomy look on his face, but due to his serious injuries, he couldn't utter a word and could only lie on the ground waiting to die.
Mu Hanyan also glanced at the sword spirit, but she didn't feel a single regret. As a human being, one should only have a clear conscience. Why dwell on other things?
"You are a man of affection and righteousness, but unfortunately, you are too stupid." Gu Huangji took a deep breath and said contemptuously.
Although he eventually broke the Seven Star Heaven-fixing Plate, this fierce battle still exceeded Gu Huangji's expectations, and he also paid a heavy price. At this time, his hair was disheveled and his face was dusty, and he no longer had any of his previous arrogance.
"There are some things that people like you won't understand." Mu Hanyan shook her head and looked at Gu Huangji with disdain. She gripped her sword tightly and raised it slowly.
Although Gu Huangji looked in a miserable state and was probably seriously injured, he was still not someone she could underestimate.
"Hmph, you ignorant little girl, you still dare to show off your wisdom when you are about to die! The way of the sword leaves no trace!" Seeing the disdainful look in Mu Hanyan's eyes, Gu Huangji felt inexplicably angry, and he was too lazy to argue with her, so he just slashed with his sword.
I saw a sword beam falling from the sky, like a phantom, but it brought endless power.
Mu Hanyan's heart trembled. Her guess was correct. Even though Gu Huangji was seriously injured, he was still no match for her. After all, the gap was too huge. The other party was a blessed priest of the temple. Even if his strength was suppressed, he was still a master above the Sword Saint. However, her true strength had not yet broken through the Saint level.
But she had already missed the best chance to escape, and now she had no other choice but to face the challenge head-on. The Hanxiao Sword once again scattered silver frost on the ground.
"Master, I'm coming, I'm coming. Who is this blind guy who dares to mess with Tai Sui this time? I'm going to slap him to death!" Suddenly, Taowu's familiar shouting came from the air.
Despite her full attention, Mu Hanyan still broke out in a thin layer of sweat. This guy, doesn't he know how to be more low-key? He's always so arrogant when he appears. The key is, you have to have the capital to be arrogant.
Mu Hanyan saw the beast shadow suddenly appear in the air out of the corner of her eye, and she mourned in her heart, as if she saw again the pitiful look of this guy being slapped away.
"You are just a beast soul, yet you dare to act so arrogant in front of me." As a blessed priest, Gu Huangji saw through Taowu's true colors at a glance, and slapped him with his left hand.
"Ah!" Taowu let out a strange cry, and suddenly, a colorful light flashed outside his body.
The next moment, his palm collided with Taowu's mid-air beast paw, making a dull thud. Both man and beast were shocked at the same time, freezing in place as if petrified.
And Mu Hanyan's sword also hit his sword light heavily.
"Puff!" Gu Huangji violently spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out like a kite with a broken string.
