Although he did subconsciously have the intention to kill Mu Hanyan when he first saw her, he immediately came to his senses when he saw the group of strange beasts.
Although their strength was greatly affected, Mu Hanyan's overall strength was still superior to theirs. Among their group, there were five or six Law Enforcement Priests above the Divine Heart Priests, but others like Zhao Zhiyuan and Ou Mingzhi were a level lower. Killing Mu Hanyan wouldn't be easy if they really had to fight, and even if they succeeded, they would inevitably pay a terrible price.
The key point is, after killing Mu Hanyan, what will they use to deal with the group of strange beasts that are chasing them?
Rather than both sides suffering losses, it is better to join forces with Mu Hanyan to deal with these strange beasts first.
Mu Hanyan looked at Zhao Xinghu and had to admit that although this old man was vulgar and shameless and disrespectful to his elders, he was still much better at seizing opportunities than Zhao Zhiyuan and others. His ability to change his face flexibly was far superior to theirs.
He also suddenly understood why this old man, who had little strength and corrupt morals, could become one of the Twelve Punishment Priests of the Temple of Life. Putting aside his identity and background, his thick-skinnedness alone was unmatched.
As they were talking, the group of strange beasts had already come closer. More than a dozen of them, covered with sharp spikes, shaped like porcupines but as big as cows, roared and rushed directly towards the crowd. Another twenty or so giant wolves with green fur all over their bodies and evil gleams in their eyes howled to the sky, sending out wind blades that seemed to be real.
The two laws of the Black Wood Prison check and balance each other, and even the strange beasts are different. There are strange beasts like those in the Holy Court Continent that are good at physical attacks, and there are also strange beasts like those in the Continent of Gods that have innate divine arts.
If Mu Hanyan was not mistaken, the beast charging ahead was called the Iron-Spiked Porcupine, and the one behind, unleashing wind blades, was called the Demon-Eye Wind Wolf. The former was a beast unique to the Holy Court Continent, while the latter was a species unique to the Divine Continent. While neither of these beasts was particularly powerful in their respective continents, upon arriving in the Blackwood Prison, their strength was significantly greater.
"Chief Priest Mu, what I said is from the bottom of my heart. I hope you will not let me down." Seeing this, Zhao Xinghu had no time to say more. He turned around and rushed towards the group of strange beasts.
He knew that no matter how nice his words were, Mu Hanyan would never believe them, so he could only prove his sincerity with actual actions.
Several law enforcement priests also attacked at the same time. Zhao Zhiyuan and others knew that it was meaningless to attack Mu Hanyan at this time. No matter how unwilling they were, in order to save their lives, they could only hold their swords and cooperate with Zhao Xinghu and others to kill.
Although the attack range of divine arts exceeds that of swordsmanship by a lot, it is not completely without limitations. The longer the distance, the smaller the power. It's just that the power decay is not as obvious as that of swordsmanship.
If it is a fight between priests, the farther away the better, as it can provide a little more security. However, strange beasts are different from humans. If the distance is too far, it is impossible to break through their hard armor defenses, and it is just a waste of spiritual energy.
Sincerity? You have no sincerity at all! If it weren't for dealing with these strange beasts, you would be the first one to attack me. Mu Hanyan cursed inwardly and attacked.
Although she didn't care about the lives of Zhao Xinghu and the others, if it weren't for these strange beasts, she might have killed them herself. However, the two groups of strange beasts merged together, and their number was much larger than before, with several more powerful ones. In addition, she had personally experienced the wonders of the laws of the Black Wood Prison, and she didn't know whether the innate magical powers or innate divine arts of these strange beasts were the same as she had known before, so she didn't dare to be too arrogant.
Gao Weihu and Su Baoer's strength was limited, and she didn't want to endanger their lives because of her blind confidence. Joining forces with Zhao Xinghu and others was a good choice.
The divine arts shone brightly and fell into the herd of beasts like raindrops. Sharp stone spikes pierced through the ground, and the group of iron-spiked porcupines in the front were caught off guard and were knocked over. Several of them were pierced through the chest and abdomen by the stone spikes and fell in a pool of blood, wailing.
Amidst the chaos, several iron-spiked porcupines rushed towards Zhao Zhiyuan and his companions, charging straight at them with their spines erect. Although Zhao Zhiyuan and his companions cast several spells in time, the spells only staggered them, leaving their spines intact.
Mu Hanyan now completely believed what Zheng Anze said. No matter how weak these porcupines were, they had the cultivation level comparable to that of a low-level Divine Heart Priest. Zhao Zhiyuan and others had not even reached the level of Divine Heart Priest, and their strength was suppressed. It would be strange if they could hurt them. Judging from their strength, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the iron-thorn porcupine's thorns were as hard as steel.
"Uncle, help me!" Seeing that the porcupine was about to pounce on him, Zhao Zhiyuan seemed to have seen the miserable scene of himself being pierced by thousands of arrows, and let out a hysterical wail.
Several stone shields appeared out of thin air, blocking Zhao Zhiyuan and the others. The iron-spiked porcupines, with their spikes erect, slammed into them. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the stone shields shattered simultaneously. Although they couldn't block the sharpness of the spikes, the massive recoil force left the iron-spiked porcupines dizzy.
Before they could react, rows of stone spikes suddenly shot out from the ground. The iron-spiked porcupines instinctively sensed danger and tried to leap away, but a flash of icy blue sword light flashed across, and the air around them instantly turned icy cold, even the ground forming a layer of frost. It was Zhao Xinghu's Ice Sealing Technique. The iron porcupines faltered slightly, and were pierced by the stone spikes. Their chests and abdomens were pierced, and blood spurted out, killing them instantly.
Mu Hanyan couldn't help but take a closer look at the law enforcement priests around Zhao Xinghu. These people were actually practicing the same laws of the earth.
You should know that the magic based on the law of the earth, although lacking some agility and changes, has more solemn power, and is good at defense. Facing the strange beasts with thick skin and strong attack power, the law of the earth is more practical. Combined with Zhao Xinghu's ice magic, it is even more powerful.
It seems that the Temple of Life has put a lot of effort into this hunting trial, otherwise it would be impossible for all the law enforcement priests around Zhao Xinghu to practice the laws of the earth.
Zhao Xinghong rescued Zhao Zhiyuan without saying much. He turned around and, with the cooperation of several earth priests, fought with several magic-eyed wind wolves.
Seeing that they were not in any danger for the time being, Mu Hanyan felt relieved. She was not concerned about the lives of Zhao Xinghu and the others, but she just didn't want to be held back by them.
Calming her mind, Mu Hanyan calmly attacked the strange beast in front of her.
