"Be careful!" No one knew where these two people came from or why they came, but seeing the bandits rushing towards them with unstoppable force, some people couldn't help but shout a warning.
"You are committing insubordination and courting death!" The young man snorted coldly and stepped forward to stand in front of the middle-aged man.
"No need." The middle-aged man said lightly, slowly raised his hand and gently clenched his fingers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..." A sound like frying beans was heard, and the bandits who were riding their horses wildly seemed to be crushed by invisible big hands and turned into bloody mist in an instant.
Everything happened so suddenly and so unbelievably. No one even uttered a scream. In just a few days, those bandits who were originally full of vigor and fierceness exploded into bloody mist. No one could escape this disaster, not even the sturdy Red Charcoal Cloud Beast under them.
The city tower, which had long been reduced to ruins, was shrouded in thick blood mist, which could not be blown away even by the strong north wind that raged across the wasteland. The thick smell of blood also permeated the entire Huayu City.
There was dead silence all around, and everyone was stunned, or rather, frightened.
Although just a moment ago, Mu Hanyan had killed thousands of bandits with one sword, and afterwards, she was like the god of death from hell, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the bandits, even the powerful and terrifying Mo Jiu was turned into nothingness with his bow under her sword, but everyone saw the power of Mu Hanyan's sword and the destructive intent contained in it, so it was not surprising that those bandits had such a tragic end.
However, the middle-aged man's gentle grip and release of his hands looked so relaxed and casual, without even a hint of excitement, as if it was as simple as gently crushing ants to death.
What's even more terrifying is that after easily killing thousands of remaining bandits with just a wave of his hand, his expression was still so indifferent and calm, without any sign of fatigue.
No one could imagine how terrifying his strength was.
Although all the people of Huayu City hated the invading bandits to the core, the middle-aged man's action also relieved their hatred, but seeing the indifference and calmness on his face, everyone still couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Even if they were really ants, it would be hard to bear to step on so many of them in one breath. However, he acted as if nothing had happened, as if the matter of those thousands of bandits had nothing to do with him at all.
Could it be that in his eyes, the lives of those thousands of bandits were not even as important as ants?
The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that since this person attacked the bandits so cruelly, he was naturally an enemy, not a friend. Their mood gradually calmed down and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
But Mu Hanyan was not as relaxed as them. Her expression was more solemn than when she faced Mo Jiu before.
If she guessed correctly, the aura emitted by the middle-aged man was exactly the same as that of Mo Jiu before.
"It's you!" After a long time, the middle-aged man looked at Mu Hanyan and said slowly.
"Do you know me?" Mu Hanyan took a deep breath and asked.
"I know her, and I don't know her." The middle-aged man answered, his expression still so indifferent, without any emotion, no sadness, no joy, as if he was indifferent to everything in this world.
"What do you mean?" Mu Hanyan looked at the middle-aged man quietly.
"Only one person in the world can perform such a destructive sword technique. I thought I would never have the chance to see it again, but unexpectedly, I still saw it. Nine tribulations of life and death, nine tribulations return to one. Live or die, eternal life and extinction, it turns out that the rumors are true." The middle-aged man also looked at Mu Hanyan, his eyes so distant, as if he had traveled through time and space, and through countless vicissitudes of life and reincarnation.
"Who are you?" Mu Hanyan's heart trembled.
The secret of the Nine Tribulations of Life and Death was known to no one in this plane. Even the guardians of the gods who followed her to the Holy Continent knew very little about it after experiencing the cycle of life and death. However, the man in front of him not only knew the secret of her nine reincarnations, but also knew her sword of destruction very well. From what he meant, he had even seen her sword of destruction with his own eyes.
His identity is definitely not as simple as God's guardian. Who is he?
"Don't you remember?" The middle-aged man stretched out his arms.
Mu Hanyan could not feel any energy or spiritual power on his body, but the air was so solidified, as if a giant divine weapon that looked like a knife but not a knife, and like a sword but not a sword, was held in his hand and pierced straight out along his arm.
Mu Hanyan shuddered all over, and the pain that was imprinted deep in her memory and could not be erased even through reincarnation after reincarnation surged into her heart, heart-wrenching and unforgettable!
No, you can’t die, you are my only opponent, I want to prove to you that I am the strongest in the world, you can’t die…” In my ears, the trembling voice of Xing Tiannu came from afar, so firm and so resolute.
The majestic figure of the Aolai divine beast came galloping from afar, letting out a sad roar.
Mu Hanyan lowered her head, as if she saw again the giant blade of the divine weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword and a knife but not a knife piercing her chest, and golden blood gushed out. Her heart veins were instantly broken, and her consciousness quickly disappeared between heaven and earth.
Cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
"It's you!" Mu Hanyan forced herself to suppress the unforgettable pain and said with gritted teeth.
The memory of eight reincarnations that had been buried in the dust was awakened again, and she finally knew who the other party was. He was the one who had attacked her from behind, took her life, and forced her to reincarnate again.
It turned out that not only did he come to the Holy Continent, but the person who killed him also came to the Holy Continent and seemed to be trapped in reincarnation as well. I wonder if this can be considered retribution.
"Yes, it's me, the Demon Emperor - Zhan Yuan!" The middle-aged man said lightly, but a mighty aura suddenly burst out from his body.
When the four words "Demon Emperor Zhan Yuan" came out of his mouth, the whole world seemed to shake.
His name is taboo even in another dimension and cannot be mentioned by ordinary people.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan asked. Although some of her memories from several reincarnations ago had reawakened, and she had guessed the man's origins, she didn't know why he had so secretly murdered her in the first place.
"Because I don't want to see her die at your hands, I should have killed you to eliminate the trouble for her forever. Unfortunately, I am not your opponent and cannot kill you." Zhan Yuan said.
The one he was talking about was not the current Mu Hanyan, but Mu Hanyan before eight reincarnations. Even though he admitted that he was not her opponent, his expression was still so indifferent and calm, without any concealment. He was indeed worthy of the title of Demon Emperor, and had the open-minded and ambitious spirit of an emperor touring the world.
