"Miss, I originally thought that you came to the Blackwood Prison from the Temple of Light. It was only when Master Yuan mentioned it earlier that I realized that you also came to the Temple of Life. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise how could I explain to the High Priest?" Zheng Anze said with a look of fear.
"Uncle Zheng, you're too polite. It's also my fault that I came to the Temple of Life without telling you in advance." Su Baoer stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly. While speaking, she secretly glanced at Gao Weihu.
Mu Hanyan noticed Su Baoer's look and vaguely guessed what was going on. Su Baoer had likely come to the Temple of Life quietly because of Gao Weihu, not telling anyone else. Yuan Xiangzhi, however, had lost face along the way and was too embarrassed to mention it to Zheng Anze. He probably figured Su Baoer wouldn't be in any danger with him, and that talking too much would inevitably expose the truth, so he simply kept it a secret, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, when he encountered danger in the Black Wood Prison, he began to worry about Su Baoer's safety and had to tell the truth.
"Miss, let's go." Yuan Xiangzhi obviously didn't want to spend a moment with Mu Hanyan, and said with a cold face.
"Well...I..." Su Baoer subconsciously looked at Gao Weihu again, hesitant for a moment.
"What? Are you still reluctant to leave?" Noticing Su Baoer's gaze, Yuan Xiangzhi became even more unhappy and said jealously.
"No, Priest Mu saved my life, and now she has some important matters to attend to, so I want to help her," Su Baoer said. In fact, she also knew that if she really encountered the Demon Dragon Bafeng and Zhan Yuan, her limited strength would be of no help at all, and it would be good if she was not a burden. However, she was reluctant to part with Gao Weihu, so she could only use this as an excuse.
"What kind of help are you offering? Help her cut down the tree? That's totally nonsense. This Black Prison Sacred Tree was born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. It is as hard as steel. Unless one can absorb the nine heavens' thunder and fire, even a master above the soul priest of the main temple can't cut it down. She actually dares to set her sights on this Black Prison Sacred Tree. It's simply a foolish dream." Yuan Xiangzhi was full of resentment towards Mu Hanyan. Hearing this, he laughed sarcastically.
"Yuan Xiangzhi, how can you say that to Chief Priest Mu? Don't forget, whose life you are giving... "Su Baoer said angrily when she saw Yuan Xiangzhi's ridicule towards Mu Hanyan, but she was interrupted by Mu Hanyan before she could finish her words.
"What did you just say?" Mu Hanyan looked at Yuan Xiangzhi with surprise. She was about to give up, but Yuan Xiangzhi's words made her eyes light up again.
"I say, unless you can contain the nine heavens thunder and fire in one body, even the masters above the soul priests in the main temple can't think of taking the Black Prison Sacred Tree. Mu Hanyan, you are simply wishful thinking and you don't know your place. I advise you to throw away that broken sword as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment." Yuan Xiangzhi looked at Mu Hanyan with contempt and disdain, and said.
"I understand, Mr. Yuan, thank you very much." Mu Hanyan smiled easily, but did not throw away the Hanxiao Sword as Yuan Xiangzhi hoped. Instead, she gripped the hilt tightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly swung the sword.
She does not have the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire, but she does have the Primal Chaos Sky Fire. As the source of all fires, and it already has spiritual consciousness, the Primal Chaos Sky Fire is naturally superior to the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire.
"Mu Hanyan, you are simply ignorant and useless. You know it's not possible, but you still want to save face..." Seeing Mu Hanyan's actions, Yuan Xiangzhi almost laughed out loud.
But soon, he could no longer laugh, because before he could finish his words, he saw a flash of white light from Mu Hanyan's sword, and it had already slashed across the tree.
"Crack..." Along with the sound of shaking branches, the towering tree slowly fell down.
All the priests of the Temple of Light, including Zheng Anze, opened their eyes wide in surprise. When they first saw the giant black tree, they were curious and wanted to cut one down to study it. However, no matter how hard they tried, even with hundreds of people attacking at the same time, they couldn't leave a single mark on the tree.
Later, after hearing Zheng Anze and Yuan Xiangzhi explain that only by absorbing the Nine Heavens' Thunder and Fire could one sever the so-called Black Prison Divine Tree, they abandoned their unrealistic idea. What a joke! Even the Divine Soul Priests of the Main Temple, who had cultivated the laws of fire to the highest level, might not be able to absorb the Nine Heavens' Thunder and Fire, let alone them.
But who could have imagined that this young priestess, Mu Hanyan, could so easily sever the Black Prison Sacred Tree? It would be strange if they weren't surprised. Yuan Xiangzhi, conscious of his humiliation, didn't mention what happened on the way here. Even when Zheng Anze asked, he only gave a vague account. As a result, the others were still unclear about Mu Hanyan's identity, let alone her strength.
Compared to them, Gao Weihu and Su Baoer were much calmer. Even the Demon Dragon Tyrant Wind was no match for Mu Hanyan, so chopping down a giant, pitch-black tree wasn't a particularly surprising thing.
The giant tree was still falling, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Zheng Anze and the others woke up as if from a dream and quickly dodged to the side. The Black Prison Divine Tree was as hard as steel, so if it hit someone, it was no joke.
"Impossible, how did she do that?" Only Yuan Xiangzhi was still standing there stupidly, looking up at the giant tree that was falling towards him in a daze.
"Mr. Yuan, be careful!" Zheng Anze probably never expected that Mr. Yuan's reaction would be so slow. He was still in a daze at this time. He was so scared that the hairs on his body stood on end. He shouted loudly and wanted to take action, but it was too late.
"Ah... Help!" Yuan Xiangzhi came to his senses and saw the huge black tree that looked like it was made of pig iron falling on his head. He was so scared that his soul left his body and he screamed at the top of his lungs.
With his strength, it would have been absolutely no difficulty for him to dodge it, but when he suddenly came to his senses, he was so scared that he broke out in sweat and his legs went weak, and he couldn't even muster up any spiritual power.
This was exactly what Mu Hanyan despised the most about him. He clearly had the cultivation of a second-level Divine Heart Priest, and was considered a rare master among his peers. However, he had been pampered since childhood and had almost no practical experience. He was fine when things were going well, but when he encountered danger, he immediately panicked and couldn't even make the most basic reaction to the enemy.
Seeing Yuan Xiangzhi about to be crushed to the ground by the giant tree, Zheng Anze and the others' expressions changed drastically. Considering the tree was three feet thick and over ten feet tall, its texture was as strong as steel, and its sheer weight was unknown. Yuan Xiangzhi was clearly so frightened that he had forgotten how to gather his spiritual energy. It would be strange if he survived being crushed like that. Unfortunately, they were too far away to reach him, and even if they had tried, they would have been unable to catch up.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan suddenly moved and kicked Yuan Xiangzhi in the face.
