Perhaps, it is also a matter of pride for him to be able to strangle such a young talent who has the potential to become the strongest person on the continent in the cradle.
As he grinned fiercely, the pure power that was violent and full of destructive intent rushed towards Mu Hanyan like a volcanic eruption, mercilessly.
Under the impact of such terrifying force, not to mention the meridians, even Mu Hanyan's bones would be shattered into ashes.
However, a sneer suddenly appeared on Mu Hanyan's face.
"Actually, you should have taken the opportunity to escape, but unfortunately, you missed the chance." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"What?" Kang Qingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
There was no chance to think at all. The moment Mu Hanyan finished speaking, a powerful force was already forcing its way towards him.
Mu Hanyan also exuded an awe-inspiring aura that made people dare not look directly at her. Her originally delicate and beautiful figure gave people a feeling of dominance that dominated the world and could only be looked up to.
Kang Qingyuan's face changed. Before this, he had never felt such momentum from anyone. He even had an illusion that even Chu Yang, the chief priest of Fengcheng Temple, who was standing in front of Mu Hanyan at this moment, would be as small as a drop in the ocean.
An instinctive fear of death surged into his heart, and Kang Qingyuan instinctively wanted to retract his sword. Unfortunately, just as Mu Hanyan said, he had missed the opportunity.
The overwhelming force surged forward, unstoppable, and his vaunted strength crumbled in an instant. If Mu Hanyan's sword power was like a vast ocean, then his was only as weak as a mountain stream.
"Ah..." Kang Qingyuan screamed and flew out heavily. His chest was deeply sunken as if hit by a huge rock. Every bone in his body was shattered, and when he landed on the ground, he was like a puddle of mud.
Mu Hanyan then let out a long sigh and looked at the pile of stone powder scattered by the wind with some regret.
The Hunyuan Stone was incredibly rare, potentially life-saving in a crucial moment. Therefore, she had previously held back, not daring to fully invest her Divine Intent, fearing the Stone would shatter. However, she hadn't anticipated Kang Qingyuan's formidable power, ultimately forcing her to exert her full Divine Intent. In an instant, her strength returned to that of a Great Swordsman. The might of Xingluo Bahuang's sword was truly beyond Kang Qingyuan's reach. However, with just one strike, the Hunyuan Stone shattered into dust.
"You're right. I should have taken the opportunity to escape. He was able to travel through the void and come to the Continent of Gods. He has such talent. How could he be killed so easily?" Kang Qingyuan was still breathing hard as he looked at Mu Hanyan. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and regret.
"What kind of fighting skills did you use just now?" Mu Hanyan didn't waste time talking to him, but spoke directly.
The Hunyuan Stone was destroyed, and Mu Hanyan couldn't dwell on an unchangeable fact. She was more concerned about Kang Qingyuan's combat skills. Those combat skills were completely different from the swordsmanship of the Holy Court Continent, and also different from the priestly magic of the Divine Continent. They were more like martial arts, but the power was much stronger than martial arts.
Mu Hanyan had long since discovered that martial arts weren't as simple as they appeared; they were likely a simplified version of some sophisticated combat technique. If she could learn a true martial arts technique, her strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. While Miss Mu didn't believe in the concept of "more skills, more power," having an extra skill to protect her life and defend herself in the Continent of Gods wasn't a bad thing.
"Hehe, you want to learn this fighting skill, do you think I will teach it to you?" Kang Qingyuan saw through Mu Hanyan's plan at a glance, and said with a bit of sadness and resentment.
As soon as he finished speaking, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Not good!" Mu Hanyan knew from the moment he saw him that the old man had severed his own heart meridians in order to die. Although his bones were shattered, his true identity was a priest, so he had to find a way to commit suicide.
Mu Hanyan subconsciously grasped Kang Qingyuan's pulse point, but then released her fingers. If this were the Holy Court Continent, as long as Kang Qingyuan was still breathing, she could protect his heart meridians, temporarily save his life, and find a way to get what she wanted. But this was the Continent of Gods, and faced with such injuries, she was completely helpless.
"Mu Hanyan, I advise you not to interfere in the affairs of Rijian Peak anymore. Otherwise, no matter how good your talent is, you will definitely die!" Kang Qingyuan's eyes widened, and he roared as if threatening, then kicked his legs and died.
Mu Hanyan's heart sank slightly. She could feel Kang Qingyuan's determination when he said this, and could even see the almost fanatical fiery light in his eyes. This sentence might not be a bluff before death, but more like a warning.
Could it be that there are other people behind him who are planning to take over Rijian Peak? What secrets does Rijian Peak hide?
Mu Hanyan naturally couldn't think of an answer to such a question, nor did she bother to dwell on it. She quickly put it aside and began searching Kang Qingyuan. If he refused to tell her, wouldn't Miss Mu be able to find it herself? The same principle would apply if she could find the secret manual for practicing that combat technique.
But soon, Miss Mu was disappointed. Kang Qingyuan was more cautious than she thought. He did not have anything on him that could reveal his identity, not even a piece of silver, let alone any secret manual of cultivation.
Mu Hanyan sighed helplessly and had to stop. At this time, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance. With Mu Hanyan's keen senses, it was not difficult to hear that they were the footsteps of Ye Yian and others.
He was probably worried about her safety, thinking that she and Kang Qingyuan should have decided the winner, so he rushed back.
"Ah... Priest Kang, why is it him?" Seeing Kang Qingyuan's body, Sikong Qinglan said in shock.
"I didn't expect that it would be Priest Kang." Mu Hanyan "struggled" to get up from the ground and said with a tired look.
Even if we put aside Kang Qingyuan's strange fighting skills, the cultivation level of the ninth-level divine priest was too strong for her. It was a fantasy for her to kill him, so she naturally had to pretend to be seriously injured. Even so, when Sikong Qinglan asked her, she didn't know how to give the most reasonable explanation.
"As a priest of the temple, how could he do such a thing!" What made her slightly relieved was that Sikong Qinglan did not ask any more questions, but spoke indignantly.
"It should be for this Rijian Peak. This Rijian Peak is also the fief of our Mu family. The Kang family asked us for it several times, but we refused. As the millennium period is approaching, the Kang family is ready to take it for themselves after the temple takes back Rijian Peak. Who knew that Hanyan is a natural priest of the gods, so the Kang family took the risk." Seeing that Sikong Qinglan did not ask about Mu Hanyan's strength, Ye Yian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly talked about other things to divert his attention.
