However, Mu Hanyan did not give up. She could feel that several times, she was just one step away from unleashing that power again, as if a paper lantern was right in front of her, which would break with a single poke, and all she needed was that last finger.
Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and a trace of pain appeared on her face. If it were anyone else, they would have lost their minds and fainted under the dual pain of body and mind. However, Mu Hanyan gritted her teeth and relied on her tenacious will to persist and work hard.
Seeing the sweat on Mu Hanyan's forehead and the pain on her face, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of Zhao Xinghu, his nephew, and Ou Mingzhi. It seemed that their guess was right. Mu Hanyan and the Demon-Eye Wind Wolf were both injured, and even healing the wound was so painful.
"How about we just take action directly?" Several people had the same thought in their minds.
But after looking at each other, they hesitated and gave up the idea.
If Mu Hanyan had not killed the Demon Eye Wind Wolf before, they might have dared to take action, but the death of the Demon Eye Wind Wolf really shocked them too much, and Mu Hanyan also brought them too much fear. Mu Hanyan's graceful and elegant figure had left too many shadows in their hearts. Even though they knew that she was seriously injured and her strength was greatly reduced, the shadow still lingered.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Mu Hanyan was seriously injured, she was not someone Zhao Zhiyuan and Ou Mingzhi could provoke.
Zhao Xinghu had just recovered from a serious injury, his strength had not yet fully recovered, and he did not want to risk his life.
People who survive a disaster always cherish their lives more than ordinary people.
"Zhao Zhiyuan's cousin is coming anyway, so why rush it? Considering that Mu Hanyan saved our lives by killing the Demon-Eye Wind Wolf, let her live a little longer." Several people thought to themselves to comfort themselves.
While staring at Mu Hanyan with evil intentions and eagerly awaiting the arrival of that person, time seemed to pass unusually slowly.
Gao Weihu and Su Baoer noticed that something was wrong with Mu Hanyan, and also noticed that Li Xinghu and others were acting strangely. Knowing that something was wrong, they quickly retreated to Mu Hanyan's side, looking a little nervous.
Seeing the sweat on Mu Hanyan's forehead, they also thought that her injury was flaring up, and were afraid that Zhao Xinghu and others would take advantage of the opportunity to attack her.
Although their strength is not weak, they are still far inferior to Zhao Xinghu and those law enforcement priests. Moreover, the other party is more numerous and powerful. If a fight really breaks out, they are afraid that they will not be able to gain any advantage, let alone protect Mu Hanyan.
Fortunately, although Li Xinghong and others looked at them unfriendly, they did not rush to take action. Their expressions were both expectant and anxious, and they looked into the distance from time to time, as if they were waiting for something?
What are they waiting for? Gao Weihu and Su Baoer were both full of doubts and even more uneasy.
Suddenly, Mu Hanyan's body trembled slightly and she opened her eyes suddenly.
She succeeded, she finally succeeded. By trying again and again, she finally unleashed that power again.
It turned out that it wasn't a single force, but rather the combined energy of the Xuanhuang Stone, the dragon blood, and the Ancient Tree of Life, creating a new power. This power was naturally formed, and though incredibly subtle, it transcended heaven and earth. It was also thanks to this power that her spiritual power and energy were perfectly integrated, from the surface to the essence.
How could this be? Mu Hanyan's mind raced, forming a rough guess. The core power of the Xuanhuang Stone was, in fact, the power of the entire Sacred Continent's heaven and earth. The dragon race, one of the Sacred Continent's most powerful and noble ancient beasts, possessed a power within their blood and souls that represented the purest power of all beasts. And as the ancestor of all vegetation, the Ancient Tree of Life embodied the most essential power of plants.
When these three elements merge into one, the resulting force is the power of heaven, earth, and all things. These four simple words, "heaven, earth, and all things," contain such vast and boundless meaning, so profound and mysterious that even humans, the most intelligent creatures in the universe, are included within them.
Her energy and spiritual power, in essence, were merely the product of the sages' understanding of the different laws of the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent. Naturally, they could not transcend all creation. It was precisely because of this power that the two could perfectly merge, allowing her to unleash the mighty sword power of a great swordsman and slay the Demon-Eye Wind Wolf in one fell swoop.
Why, for millions of years, had the mighty of the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent been unable to break through their limits and reach the heights of those legendary masters? Mu Hanyan had also discovered the answer: it was because they lacked this power, unable to comprehend the true mysteries of the universe, and even more unable to fuse their vital energy and spiritual power into one, integrating the laws of the entire Sacred Continent into one.
After understanding this, Mu Hanyan was ecstatic, her whole body trembling with excitement, and she just wanted to roar to the sky.
Even if she regained her peak strength, or even the strength of her previous life, she would still not be considered a true powerhouse, and her current strength was even more insignificant. However, she had already found a way to unlock the mysteries of heaven and earth. Relying on the Xuanhuang Stone, the dragon blood, and the ancient tree of life, she could continuously fuse energy and laws. Ultimately, she broke through her limits, achieving it a thousand times more easily than the strongest swordsman in the Holy Court Continent or the most powerful priest in the Divine Continent.
The only problem was that her Ancient Life Tree had withered, leaving only a ray of life. This had little impact on her current cultivation, but the higher her strength, the greater the limitations. However, Mu Hanyan wasn't worried. The world was vast and full of wonders. As long as she understood the importance of the Ancient Life Tree and tried every possible means, she would always find a way to restore it to life.
After a long while, Mu Hanyan's excitement gradually calmed down, and she suddenly noticed several surprised eyes staring at her.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's trembling figure, Zhao Xinghu and others were so excited that their hearts were about to jump out.
It looked like Mu Hanyan's injuries were more serious than they had imagined. Even after so long of treatment, she was still trembling slightly. Once Zhao Zhiyuan's cousin arrived, killing her would be a piece of cake.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Hanyan looked at Zhao Xinghu and the others in confusion.
Why would they be so happy when they found the path to heaven that would break through their cultivation limits? Besides, how could they know my secret?
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. We were just so happy to see that Chief Priest Mu's injury was healed that we could hardly control ourselves. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Chief Priest." Zhao Xinghu quickly suppressed his inner ecstasy and pretended to be relieved.
Although he was once again certain that Mu Hanyan was seriously injured, as long as she could stand up, it proved that she still had the strength to fight again. Zhao Xinghu was afraid that she would see through his thoughts and take the initiative to attack him.
