Just after breathing a sigh of relief, Zheng Anze suddenly saw Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu outside the formation.
"Master Mu, Master Gao, come here quickly!" Zheng Anze shouted in alarm. As a fellow temple priest, and knowing that Mu Hanyan and Su Baoer had a good relationship and had previously saved her life, he naturally had a good impression of them and didn't want them to die before his eyes.
Upon hearing this, several law enforcement priests around him stopped chanting at the same time, and the fiery red flames on the formation also flared up.
Obviously, this is a typical defensive formation. Once it is activated, outsiders cannot enter. If you want to let people in, you must stop the formation.
"What are you doing? Do you want to die? Don't stop, activate the formation, activate the formation!" Yuan Xiangzhi roared in frustration.
He hated Mu Hanyan to the core and wished she would die in front of him, so how could he possibly save her?
What's more, the group of strange beasts led by the Iron-backed Saber-toothed Tiger were extremely fast and arrived in just a moment. If the formation was stopped now, it would probably be too late to start it again.
He already wished Mu Hanyan was dead, so there was no way he would take the risk to save her.
"No, stop the formation quickly and let Sister Mu and Brother Weihu come over." Su Baoer shouted nervously.
Although she knew that Mu Hanyan was powerful, she couldn't even imagine how powerful Mu Hanyan was, but the hundreds of strange beasts in front of her were all as strong as the seventh-level Divine Heart Priest. The two iron-backed saber-toothed tigers in the lead had even reached the level of the ninth-level Divine Heart Priest, and might be even stronger.
No matter how much confidence she had in Mu Hanyan, she still couldn't help but worry about her.
"Don't stop!" Yuan Xiangzhi roared with a sullen face, then said to Su Baoer, "Others may not know the strength of Grand Priest Mu, but you don't know it either. They are just a few beasts. How could they possibly threaten Grand Priest Mu? You should stop worrying about her."
His words sounded like he was praising Mu Hanyan's strength, but the sarcasm and even gloating in them were obvious.
"Baoer, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself." Mu Hanyan said, and slowly drew out the sword.
"See? With the strength of Priest Mu, she wouldn't take these few strange beasts seriously. Why should you worry about her?" Yuan Xiangzhi said sarcastically again.
But he sneered in his heart: This Mu Hanyan didn't even run away, and even wanted to fight with this group of strange beasts. Isn't she too arrogant.
The hundreds of exotic beasts before her were each a top-tier powerhouse of their kind. The Ironback Sabertooth Tiger, leading the charge, was comparable to a ninth-rank Divine Heart Priest, perhaps even more powerful. How could it even compare to the Earth-Armored Dragon Rhino she had slain earlier? Even the dragon, resurrected through some innate divine art but now significantly weakened, would likely be unable to withstand such a formidable group of beasts.
Could it be that Mu Hanyan was provoked by his words and lost her mind? That would be perfect. Let her embarrass him everywhere and embarrass him all the time. Now let's see how she dies.
Unfortunately, he was wrong. With Mu Hanyan's temperament, how could she be so easily provoked, and how could she lose her mind so easily? The reason Mu Hanyan dared to draw her sword was naturally because she had absolute confidence.
The strange beast was getting closer and closer, and it was too late to stop. Zheng Anze didn't have time to think about it and began to concentrate on controlling the formation.
Yuan Xiangzhi gripped his sword tightly and joined in.
"Mr. Yuan, you just stay in the middle. Leave the formation to us." Zheng Anze said with a frown.
He didn't want anything to happen to Yuan Xiangzhi, for fear that he would not be able to explain to the Lord Priest Zuo.
"Lord Zheng, I am also a priest of the Temple of Light. How can I stay out of this matter? Even if I die, I will die with everyone. I will never live in disgrace." Yuan Xiangzhi said with great dignity.
What a joke! He had just been kicked by Mu Hanyan, his nose bleeding and covered in dirt, which was already embarrassing enough. If he hid behind everyone at this time, how would others look at him? He came to the Blackwood Prison to participate in the hunting trial to gain experience and reputation, not to embarrass himself.
"Well, just be careful." Zheng Anze guessed what he was thinking and it was difficult for him to refuse.
"Roar!" In the blink of an eye, the group of strange beasts rushed to the front.
Perhaps realizing the power of the sword formation, an iron-backed saber-toothed tiger roared and pounced into the air with most of the strange beasts. While in mid-air, it released a series of colorful innate magical arts and extended its claws and fangs as sharp as knives.
The other iron-backed saber-toothed tiger, with more than ten strange beasts, rushed towards Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu.
"The stone breaks and the sky trembles!" Gao Weihu roared and rushed forward with a huge hammer.
Judging from the flickering light of the earth's laws on the giant hammer, he was only a first-level Divine Heart Priest, but there was no fear on his face. He was full of fighting spirit, and his indomitable momentum made him look like a god of war descending to earth.
"Eight Wastelands, the God Falls!" Mu Hanyan shouted softly, and slashed with her sword towards the Iron-backed Saber-toothed Tiger surrounded by a dozen strange beasts.
Her gaze was so firm and resolute.
The exotic beasts of the Blackwood Prison were distinctly different from their counterparts on either the Holy Court Continent or the Continent of Gods. They possessed the same innate divine arts as priests and the same powerful physical attacks as swordsmen. This, presumably, was the natural behavior of powerful exotic beasts before the Sacred Continent's rupture and separation.
Normally, such beasts should be even more powerful, but Mu Hanyan's last encounter with the Demon Eye Wind Wolf revealed that the Blackwood Prison's beasts weren't as powerful as she'd imagined. Perhaps it was because the two laws here simply balanced each other, rather than the mutually reinforcing and counteracting nature of ancient times. Therefore, the beasts here couldn't match their counterparts on the Divine Continent in terms of innate divine arts, nor their counterparts on the Holy Court Continent in terms of physical attacks.
Of course, the combination of the two would still be terrifying for ordinary swordsmen or priests, but was Mu Hanyan an ordinary swordsman or priest? Of course not! She too, possessed a powerful combination of swordsmanship and divine arts, relying on the Xuanhuang Stone, the Ancient Tree of Life, and the dragon bloodline to perfectly fuse her energy and spiritual power. How could she possibly fear these strange beasts?
Seeing the strong fighting spirit in Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu, and the determination in their eyes, Zheng Anze and others were full of admiration. If it were them, even Zheng Anze, the strongest among them, would definitely not have the courage to confront the strange beasts in front of them head-on.
But then, they couldn't help but sigh secretly. What's the use of just having courage and fighting spirit? Facing such a powerful monster, these two people are likely to be in great danger.
