"Could it be that the axe chopped it all into pieces?" Yue Fanchen also followed and said, looking at the empty deep pit.
Mu Hanyan shook her head. With Gu Huangji's strength, he shouldn't be killed without leaving any trace.
"The old man ran away." At this time, a very low voice suddenly came from the side.
"Who?" Yue Fanchen was startled when he heard the completely unfamiliar voice.
"It's me," the voice continued.
"Who are you?" Yue Fanchen asked.
"If you take your foot away, you will know who I am. You are stepping on my head, ow."
Only then did Yue Fanchen realize that it was Taowu who spoke, and he quickly took two steps forward.
"Huff, huff, it's so scary, so scary." Taowu finally lifted up the gravel and dirt on his head, stuck his head out and gasped for breath.
It can be seen that the axe blow just now caused considerable damage to it, and its figure, which was already half real and half virtual, became even weaker.
"You said Gu Huangji ran away?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"The old man destroyed his own magic sword and exploded the sword spirit to save his life, but he was seriously injured." Taowu said.
Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that there was a piece of metal debris scattered in the pit. It turned out to be the long sword of Gu Huangji.
As a blessed priest, the sword he carries is naturally no ordinary item. Mu Hanyan did not expect him to be so decisive.
You must know that for cultivators, artifact-quality longswords are extremely rare, and once they obtain one, they cherish it like their life. To them, the longsword is not only a weapon, but also their closest and most reliable companion, even a family member. Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times that "the sword is alive, and the sword dies, and the person dies." Many people have committed suicide on the spot due to damage to their swords.
Not everyone can destroy the sword and explode the sword spirit at the critical moment of Gu Huangji.
Although Gu Huangji escaped in the end, Mu Hanyan was lucky to be able to save his life, and she did not have too many regrets.
"Are you okay?" Mu Hanyan asked Taowu.
"Thank you for your concern, master. I'm fine. I'll go back and recuperate for a while." Seeing Mu Hanyan's concerned look, Taowu was flattered and said gratefully.
"Then you go back first." Mu Hanyan said.
If it were any other exotic or divine beast, the elixir would also be effective, but Taowu is just a clone of the beast soul, so if he wants to recover, he still has to return to the Beast Soul Palace.
"Yes, master." Taowu's figure flashed and disappeared from his sight.
"Elder Ao, how are your injuries?" Mu Hanyan then came to Ao Fangchen and others, took out a few pills and handed them over.
"Thank you very much." Ao Fangchen said as he took the pill.
Wei Xiaotian nodded and took the pill.
After fighting the enemy side by side before, there was no hostility in each other's eyes, but they still couldn't get close to each other.
"Uncle, hurry up and comprehend this sword spirit." Calculating the time, it would not be long before the Holy Soul Illusion closed. Mu Hanyan did not waste any more time and said to Yue Fanchen.
"Why don't you figure it out yourself?" Yue Fanchen said.
He didn't know the details of this sword spirit before, he only knew that it could repair his foundation, so he didn't hesitate. Now that he knows the extraordinary nature of this sword spirit, he naturally feels embarrassed to take advantage of it again.
"No need, I have already figured it out. Otherwise, how could I have used such a sword when fighting with Elder Ao before." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
This sword spirit was simply the condensation of her divine consciousness from her previous life. Everything it contained was actually contained within her bloodline. The reason she had previously been able to trigger its power was because she had already comprehended her own sword path. The sword intent within this sword spirit was contained within her sword path, so she naturally did not need to comprehend it further.
Yue Fanchen thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. He felt relieved and sat cross-legged, concentrating his mind and comprehending the sword spirit.
Wei Xiaotian looked at Yue Fanchen with envy, but ultimately remained silent, only sighing deeply inwardly. Although he had fought tooth and nail just now, and had helped Mu Hanyan, he knew that regardless of his efforts, he would be dead if he fell into Gu Huangji's hands. In reality, it was Mu Hanyan who saved his life, so how could he afford to fight with them again?
The most important thing is, with his current injuries, can he win?
"Mu Hanyan, thank you very much for what you did today. I will always remember your life-saving grace. Let's let go of the previous matters." Although Ao Fangchen was arrogant and arbitrary, he was also upright. He stood up and bowed to Mu Hanyan.
"Elder Ao, there's no need to be so polite. I was also wrong in the past." Mu Hanyan quickly helped Ao Fangchen up.
She hadn't wanted to harbor any deep grudges against anyone from the Holy Court, so Ao Fangchen's words suited her perfectly. Seeing that this old man was honest and upright, Mu Hanyan's impression of him changed significantly.
"Yutang, come here quickly and apologize to Young Master Mu." Ao Fangchen said to Han Yutang again.
Mu Hanyan certainly didn't want to have a grudge against them, and he didn't want to have a grudge against Mu Hanyan even more. In today's battle, he finally saw how terrifying Mu Hanyan was. You have to know that Mu Hanyan was only at the level of a Great Swordsman, yet she was able to defeat all of them, the masters of the Sword Saint level. Even a master of the Temple like Gu Huangji could only flee with serious injuries when facing her. How powerful would she be in the future when she reached the level of Sword Saint?
After all, he was not young anymore and might die someday. If Mu Hanyan held a grudge against Han Yutang, she would make sure he died without a burial place. He asked Han Yutang to apologize because it was actually for his own good.
"I'm sorry." Unfortunately, Han Yutang didn't understand his good intentions. Although he saw his stern expression and apologized to Mu Hanyan under pressure, his nonchalant look did not show any sincerity.
"Don't you even take your teacher's words seriously?" Seeing that he had no understanding of his kindness, Ao Fangchen became furious and raised his hand suddenly.
"Elder Ao, there's no need to be angry. It's just a minor incident. Just apologize." Mu Hanyan advised.
The more she saw Han Yutang's frustrated and sullen look, the more he looked like a child who hadn't grown up. Mu Hanyan didn't bother to argue with him. Besides, the other person's cultivation was already wasted. If she continued to argue with him, it would be too unreasonable.
"For the sake of Young Master Mu, I'll spare you today." Ao Fangchen thought of Han Yutang's previous sacrifice to save him, and in the end he didn't slap him.
"By the way, how did you get here?" Ao Fangchen suddenly asked Han Yutang.
"When I saw you suddenly take out the Seven-Star Heaven-Fixing Plate last night, I guessed that you would avenge me, so I followed me to see what was going on. Although I have lost my cultivation, I still have a few magic weapons with me, so I am not afraid of the pressure of the sword spirit in this Holy Soul Illusion." Han Yutang said as he took out a few magic weapons.
He wanted to see what was going on. Curiosity killed the cat. I'm afraid he'll never be able to change it until he dies. Mu Hanyan was speechless about Han Yutang's bad habit.
