If it were a million years ago, even if Mu Hanyan pierced its heart, it wouldn't necessarily be killed. With its immense strength, as long as its soul remained immortal and its essence and blood remained, it could have forged a new body and been reborn. But now, it no longer possessed the strength it had a million years ago. Even its current body was reshaped by the condensation of the Undying Dragon Soul. How could it possibly withstand Mu Hanyan's fatal sword strike?
Seeing the fear in Bafeng's face, Mu Hanyan was completely relieved. She was worried that this sword would not kill Bafeng. In her current state, she could not find any other way to kill him. However, since Bafeng was so panicked, it proved that his heart was his fatal weakness.
The long sword advanced millimeter by millimeter, getting closer and closer to the heart. If it moved forward half an inch more, it would pierce into it and completely resolve the crisis.
"Stop!" At this moment, a tall and stern man stepped into the air and flew over.
"Zhan Yuan!" Mu Hanyan's eyes suddenly became stern. Wasn't the man in front of her the Zhan Yuan who had forced her to repeatedly use the destructive sword technique in the battle of Huayu City and almost died together with her?
"Mu Hanyan, let him go and I will spare your life!" Zhan Yuan looked down at Mu Hanyan and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Master, don't worry about me, just kill her." Ba Feng said anxiously, looking at Zhan Yuan with shame in his eyes.
Master? It turns out that the demon dragon in front of him is Zhan Yuan's sacrificial pet.
Mu Hanyan had actually guessed a long time ago that Bafeng was related to Zhan Yuan, otherwise its natal dragon soul would not have appeared in Xiang Qiuzhan's body, but she did not expect that it was actually Zhan Yuan's sacrificial pet.
Zhan Yuan alone is powerful enough, but how much more powerful would he be if he added the Demonic Dragon Ba Feng to his arsenal? Mu Hanyan's sword tip hovered just half an inch outside Ba Feng's heart, her heart filled with hesitation.
The hatred between her and Zhan Yuan had lasted for ten thousand years and was impossible to resolve. Neither she nor Zhan Yuan would let the other go if given the chance. Unleashing Tyrant Wind would undoubtedly aid Zhan Yuan, essentially courting trouble, perhaps even death.
"As long as you let Ba Feng go today, I promise you in the name of the Demon Emperor that if you don't take the initiative to attack me in the future, I will never make things difficult for you." Seeing what Mu Hanyan was worried about, Zhan Yuan said solemnly.
"Are you serious?" Mu Hanyan's heart moved.
Although she wanted to kill Zhan Yuan and avenge her blood feud, she knew very well that she was no match for him. In their last encounter, if she hadn't relied on the power of the Ancient Tree of Life to catch Zhan Yuan off guard, she wouldn't even have had a chance to die together with him.
In fact, not only did she not have the strength to take revenge, she also had to worry about Zhan Yuan making a comeback all the time.
Zhan Yuan's promise was equivalent to handing all the initiative to her, which could buy her enough time to improve her strength. When she was confident enough to take revenge, how could she care about the existence of the Demon Dragon Bafeng?
Trading the life of a demon dragon for such conditions was no loss, no matter how you looked at it. At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness and resentment rose within her. This passive and suffocating situation was all caused by her being too weak! She had to get stronger, get stronger! At this moment, Mu Hanyan's desire to become stronger burned like a raging flame within her. She was determined to avenge her vengeance against Zhan Yuan. This man had killed her so many times, and she remembered it all. This time, she would repay him double!
"Isn't the promise of me, the Demon Emperor Zhan Yuan, enough to convince you?" Zhan Yuan said proudly.
"Okay then, as you wish." Mu Hanyan retracted the sword.
Mu Hanyan knew very well that she had no better choice than to trust Zhan Yuan's promise. Otherwise, even if she killed Ba Feng, what would it matter? In her current state, she had no chance of resisting Zhan Yuan.
"Master..." Ba Feng was both ashamed and unbearable. He raised his dragon head and looked at Zhan Yuan anxiously.
"Shut up! It took me millions of years of reincarnation to help you reshape into a dragon. I won't let you die in vain! If you want to die, you have to wait until we return to the Divine Martial Realm and die on the Demon God Peak." Zhan Yuan glared at Ba Feng and said sternly.
When he said this, his eyes revealed deep hatred, unwillingness, and endless anger.
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Bafeng lowered his proud dragon head and said with even more shame.
Zhan Yuan didn't say anything else. He slapped his palm in the air, and the fire spear disappeared. The chaotic sky fire also flew out irresistibly and sank into Mu Hanyan's heart.
The wound on Bafeng's chest healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. With a vast dragon roar, Bafeng flapped his wings and soared into the air. Zhan Jianxu took a few steps and stood on its back. The man and the dragon flew towards the depths of the wilderness.
Watching them retreat, Mu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhan Yuan had broken his promise and attacked her, she would have been completely helpless. Fortunately, he kept his word and showed some heroic spirit. Despite the relief, she felt even more frustrated and depressed, and her determination to become stronger only intensified.
"Master!" Taowu's panicked voice suddenly rang out.
Turning around, he saw Taowu standing beside the little Qilin with an anxious look on his face.
"Not good!" Mu Hanyan's eyes swept over the little Qilin, and her heart sank suddenly.
The colorful rays of light on Liuguang's body were constantly dissipating, and the graceful and handsome figure of the Qilin mythical beast was constantly changing and shrinking. In just a moment, it turned back into the appearance of a pink pig.
If it were just that, it would be fine. It had restored its Qilin form by forcibly increasing its strength, so it was not surprising that it had returned to its original state. But the problem was that at the same time as its body returned to its original state, its vitality was rapidly dissipating.
The originally pink and tender but plump and strong body was now covered with wounds and bleeding. Even though Mu Hanyan's spiritual power had been exhausted, she could still see that most of these scars were caused by ruptured meridians and powerful force breaking through the body.
If I'm not mistaken, the force the little fellow forcibly condensed to transform into a Qilin was so overwhelming that even he couldn't withstand it. Then, when he blocked Ba Feng's fatal blow for Mu Hanyan, the two equally powerful forces collided internally and externally, rupturing all of his meridians and possibly even severely damaging his heart and internal organs.
In order to save her, the little Qilin is risking his life.
"Liuguang, hold on!" Mu Hanyan held back her tears and quickly took out a box of golden needles.
She had been studying the medical formations of the Continent of Gods, as well as various strange and unusual arts such as sealing alchemy, for some time. She also asked Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin about the Nine Revolutions of Heaven and Earth Divine Needles. The two had relied on Mu Hanyan's help to recover the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and were worried about not having the opportunity to repay her. Naturally, she taught Mu Hanyan everything she knew without hiding anything, and it came in handy at this moment.
Rays of golden light flashed by, and long needles pierced into Liuguang's meridians.
