Wei Xiaotian was the closest and instinctively dodged to catch him, but was directly knocked back by the force, almost spitting out blood. Because he attacked first and blocked Ye Lanxun and the others, the others didn't have a chance to attack.
Only then did everyone realize how powerful and terrifying the power contained in the barrier was, and what the consequences would be if they tried to force their way through. Even someone as powerful as Shao Chengxiong was injured like this. If it were them, even if they didn't die, their bones would be shattered, their meridians and qi sea would be destroyed, and they would become disabled.
Shao Chengxiong was spewing blood as he flew involuntarily towards Zhuang Ping'an and the others. Although they didn't have a strong impression of him, after meeting Mu Hanyan, they had a deeper understanding of the word "partner". They subconsciously wanted to catch him, but when they saw Wei Xiaotian, who was still breathing heavily, they stopped the thought.
Instead, Mu Hanyan flew up and caught Shao Chengxiong. Among all the descendants of the gods' guardians, she was the only one who had such strength.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Mu Hanyan took out a Dragon Blood Recovery Pill.
"I'm not injured. It's just hot and I'm getting a sore throat." Shao Chengxiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said subconsciously while looking at the pill in Mu Hanyan's hand.
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Mu Hanyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just stuffed the pill into his mouth.
If it were an ordinary elixir, it would probably be of little use to Saint-level masters, because their cultivation is too high and their vitality is too strong. Once they are injured, the elixir power required for healing is too strong, which is simply not comparable to ordinary elixirs. However, Mu Hanyan's Dragon Blood Recovery Pill is a top-level elixir at the level of Sword Master, and it is also effective for masters at the level of Sword Saint.
The pill melted in his mouth, and Shao Chengxiong's injuries healed rapidly, and his mood became much calmer. Then he thought, since he had lost face and dignity, he would no longer be stubborn.
"Master Mu, thank you very much." Shao Chengxiong looked at Mu Hanyan with a complicated look and said in a low voice. Thinking of the ridicule and mockery he had made towards her before, he felt extremely ashamed.
"Lord Shao, you don't have to be polite. You are injured like this for everyone." Mu Hanyan said.
"Alas, they are right. I used to be called a martial arts fanatic, and I was complacent about it. Now I think that I was indeed too obsessed with it, and I neglected other aspects of my practice." Shao Chengxiong said with a look of shame.
Seeing that he realized his problem so quickly, Mu Hanyan was a little surprised and a little impressed. No wonder he was noticed by the Holy Lord and accepted as his disciple. This Shao Chengxiong really had his extraordinary qualities and his comprehension was extraordinary.
"Lan Xun, Chang Qing, Xiao Tian, I'm sorry to burden you." Shao Chengxiong shook his head and said to Ye Lan Xun and others guiltily, but he was too embarrassed to call himself senior brother again.
Although his strength is good, when it comes to his understanding of this hand seal, he is not as good as Ye Lanxuan and Tan Tai Changqing, and he is even inferior to Wei Xiaotian. How can he have the nerve to be arrogant?
"Brother Shao, don't say that. You were just careless. Let's continue when your injury is better." Tan Tai Chang Qing still maintained due respect for him and said comfortingly.
"Don't comfort me. Once or twice, I can say it was carelessness, but how could I fail several times in a row? My attainments in this hand gesture are too shallow, and there is no way I can cooperate with you to open the barrier." Having said that, Shao Chengxiong sighed deeply.
"What!" Everyone was shocked when they heard his words.
If they cannot open the barrier, doesn’t it mean that none of them will have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the strong? All the hardships in the Beiyuan Mist Plain and all the difficulties after entering the Sky Curtain will be in vain.
Of course, it cannot be said that it was completely in vain. This experience was still very beneficial to them, but not being able to enter the cemetery and losing the opportunity to inherit the legacy of the strong is always the biggest regret.
"Master Shao, why don't you try to comprehend it carefully and try again?" Zhuang Ping'an advised. At this moment, he certainly wasn't in the mood to laugh at Shao Chengxiong.
Ye Lanxun and the others had serious expressions and didn't say a word.
"Actually, this hand gesture was passed down to me by my master several years ago. I never took it seriously. Now it's too late to try it at the last minute." Shao Chengxiong said with a wry smile.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others then understood why Ye Lanxun and the others didn't speak. It turned out that they had been comprehending and practicing this hand seal for several years, and it was not something that could be achieved overnight. Even if Shao Chengxiong tried harder to comprehend it now, it would definitely be too late.
The dozen or so elite members of the Holy Court also had a look of loss on their faces. Losing the chance to inherit the legacy of this powerful person was certainly a pity for Zhuang Ping'an and others, but it was even more of a pity for them. After all, they were stronger and had a greater chance of inheriting the legacy.
"Let me try." Just when everyone was extremely disappointed, Mu Hanyan suddenly stood up and said.
"you?"
"You!" Everyone looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, not only Shao Chengxiong, but even Wei Xiaotian exclaimed.
"Young Master Mu, I know you are extremely talented, and I've personally witnessed your strength before, but this hand seal is not so easy to comprehend. Although I didn't put much effort into it, I still spent three years trying to comprehend it, and in the end, the result was the same.
Also, although I made some mistakes just now, they were not too serious, so I was the only one hurt. If the mistake was too serious, it is very likely that Lan Xun and the others would be injured, or even their lives would be lost, as well as your companions. This time, Shao Chengxiong did not ridicule Mu Hanyan again, but spoke with sincerity.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that there was such a danger in coordinating hand gestures among several people.
Zhuang Ping'an and others were also shocked. From what Shao Chengxiong said, his injury was relatively minor. If the hand seals were too wrong, everyone might die outside the barrier.
They originally wanted to speak out in agreement, but hesitated and stopped talking. This matter concerned the life and death of hundreds of descendants of the guardians of God, as well as a dozen elites of the Holy Court and four saints. Who would dare to speak easily?
Mu Hanyan cast her gaze towards Ye Lanxun and the others. If she represented Shao Chengxiong, it would not only affect her own safety, but also the safety of Ye Lanxun and the others. She also could not make the decision on her own. At least she had to get the consent of others.
"It would be the best if Young Master Mu is willing to give it a try." Wei Xiaotian was the first to speak.
It's true that the person who knows you best is often not your friend, but your enemy. After a brief moment of surprise, Wei Xiaotian recalled his past experiences with Mu Hanyan as an enemy. He quickly realized that relying on Shao Chengxiong was impossible. If he forced a move, it would likely endanger everyone's lives. However, he refused to give up. In this case, Mu Hanyan was the best candidate.
Apart from her, the entire Holy Court Continent, including the Holy Court itself, could definitely not choose a more suitable candidate.
