She also knew that even if she could combine the sword might of Zhuang Ping'an and the others, it would be impossible to break the might of the sky curtain. Shao Chengxiong was right. Moreover, without Jiang Qiling by her side, her innate magical powers could not be awakened, and it would be impossible to combine their sword might. Therefore, she had no intention of breaking the might of the sky curtain from the beginning.
As she made her last few hand gestures, the sword beams in the sky also underwent subtle changes. With her towering sword beam "Xingluo Bahuang" as the core, they formed a sword net, blocking everyone's heads like a shield.
This was the only solution Mu Hanyan could think of. Without Jiang Qiling's assistance, she couldn't possibly unite the sword might of everyone once again. However, she possessed a profound understanding of their sword arts and sword intentions. With her current divine consciousness, she could barely connect them together, forming a defensive sword net. Although its power was far less than when it was condensed, and if facing a truly powerful opponent, it would be full of flaws, but it was more than enough to serve as a shield against the might of the sky curtain.
After all, people are alive, but the sky is dead.
Enveloped by the sword net, Zhuang Ping'an and the others felt their pressure suddenly ease, and they quickly followed Mu Hanyan forward. As they walked, Mu Hanyan took out some pills and distributed them to everyone.
Although this sword net lasted longer than when it was condensed together, it would eventually disappear. If they did not replenish their energy in time, they would still be unable to move forward. In fact, the deeper they fell, the more miserable their death would be.
As they moved forward quickly, everyone worked hard to refine the power of the elixir and accumulate energy.
Soon, everyone walked to a hundred steps away. Seeing that the sword net above their heads was getting weaker and weaker, while the pressure on their bodies was becoming heavier and heavier, Mu Hanyan made hand gestures again, and then slashed with the sword. With previous experience, knowing that his method could be used, Mu Hanyan did not use the Starfall in the Desolate Lands again. Although this sword technique was powerful, it could only be used three times, so it was better to use it sparingly.
The moment the sword light in the sky disappeared, everyone's long swords slashed out simultaneously, forming a new sword net. In order to conserve energy as much as possible, Mu Hanyan's timing was also extremely precise.
Under the protection of this sword net, everyone continued to move forward at a faster pace...
"How did she do it? Where did she learn the magic formula from?" Looking at the figures of Mu Hanyan and others moving forward step by step, Shao Chengfeng was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"I told you before, there are things you can't think of, but she may be able to do it." Wei Xiaotian said with a smile, as if he knew it would be like this.
No matter how big the conflict was in the past, he and Mu Hanyan are friends now. Seeing Mu Hanyan create a miracle again, even he feels proud of it.
Beside them, Ye Lanxuan and Tan Tai Changqing also glanced at Shao Chengfeng with a half-smile. Perhaps others would have thought that Mu Hanyan was daydreaming after seeing her actions before, but with their understanding of Mu Hanyan, they knew that she must have a reason for doing so. The reason why they ignored Shao Chengfeng was just to see him slap himself in the face in a while.
"Even if they pass one level, they will definitely die in the next one." Noticing their teasing looks, Shao Chengfeng's face turned red, as if he had been slapped twice. However, he still said unconvinced.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Lanxun and the others all put away their smiles, their eyes becoming solemn. Although, under Mu Hanyan's leadership, the descendants of the God's Guardians had narrowly escaped the first hurdle, the crisis ahead was far more daunting. If they still had a chance to escape the Sky Curtain and save their lives, then when the next crisis arrived, they would have no chance even if they wanted to.
Mu Hanyan led the descendants of the gods' guardians forward, but their pace was getting slower and slower. Although the pressure was much lessened by the protection of the sword net, everyone was still sweating profusely, as if every step they took would exhaust their last bit of strength.
This is no wonder. In order to form this sword net, they used all their strength in every sword attack. Even if they kept taking pills, the speed at which their energy recovered was far slower than the speed at which it was consumed. What's more, the pressure brought by the sky curtain was only reduced a lot, but did not completely disappear. To withstand that powerful pressure, a lot of energy would also be consumed.
They walked forward step by step. Although their steps became heavier and heavier, they did not give up. They all gritted their teeth and persisted. The excessive use of their energy even caused their meridians to rupture. Tiny lines of blood seeped out of their skin, staining their sword robes with mottled bloodstains.
Only then did they understand why Mu Hanyan had insisted they cross the Beiyuan Mist Plain on their own. Without the six months of training, they simply wouldn't be able to withstand the might of the Sky Curtain. Even if their bodies hadn't collapsed, their wills would surely have long since crumbled. Thinking of Mu Hanyan's painstaking efforts and the covert support she had provided them along the way, Zhuang Ping'an and the others were filled with gratitude.
While every step was arduous for them, Mu Hanyan wasn't having an easy time either. Even though the Nine Heavens Starfall consumed far less energy than the Eight Desolations Starfall, constantly forming a sword net was a huge test for her divine consciousness.
Although she was not covered in blood like Zhuang Ping'an and the others, she felt a sharp pain in her head due to excessive mental exertion, and drops of cold sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
However, since Zhuang Ping'an and others did not give up, she certainly would not give up either. She also knew that if she gave up now, Zhuang Ping'an and others would surely die. Without their joint efforts to form the sword net, she would probably suffer the consequences.
Above, the sword light grew weaker and weaker, on the verge of collapsing under the pressure of the sky. Mu Hanyan drew out the Cold Sky Sword once more. Zhuang Ping'an and the others also raised their swords, but their hands gripping the hilts trembled constantly. They tried to tighten their grip, but their fingers refused to obey.
Seeing how exhausted they were, Mu Hanyan was a little worried whether they could still concentrate on forming a sword net like before.
Not far behind him, Ye Lanxuan also gripped the hilt of his sword. He could see that Zhuang Ping'an and the others had reached their limits. If they could not hold on any longer, he would at least do his utmost to protect Mu Hanyan, and the others would also try to get out of the sky curtain. Of course, even with his strength, it would be impossible to save everyone in this situation. At least half of the over one hundred descendants of the gods' guardians would die. But the path they chose was their own, and life or death depended entirely on their own luck.
In the air, the sword light grew weaker and weaker. Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanxun were ready to attack. At this moment, the endless pressure suddenly disappeared.
In the sky, the sword net composed of hundreds of sword beams shattered like a soap bubble, and all the descendants of the guardians of the gods fell to the ground at the same time.
