They had witnessed the combined attack by Mu Hanyan, Jiang Qiling, and the others, and could clearly see that Mu Hanyan's strength had greatly improved since her time at Longyan Academy. It was a shame that Jiang Qiling and Gao Weihu were still a little behind and couldn't offer much help.
Therefore, they were completely confident that if they joined forces with Mu Hanyan, and with the help of the Taotie beast, their power would definitely increase greatly. Even if they still could not defeat Zhan Yuan, they could at least pose some threat to him.
Who knew Mu Hanyan would be injured before they even started fighting? Could it be that at this critical moment, she had lost her mind? Jiang Yunhe and the others, unaware of the details, could only speculate.
At this moment, Zhan Yuan's sword came towards him.
Without having time to think, they whistled at the same time and poured all their energy into the sword.
"A grain of light dares to compete with the sun and the moon!" Zhan Yuan just looked at them indifferently and pressed his arm slightly.
In an instant, Jiang Yunhe and his companions felt endless pressure coming from all directions. The swords they had used all their strength to strike were like being cut into a quagmire, and every inch of progress became extremely difficult.
Their faces paled with horror. Zhan Yuan was now more than twice as strong as he had been the previous time. Even if Mu Hanyan hadn't gone mad, the combined strength of the others wouldn't have posed the slightest threat to him.
What's going on? How did his strength improve so quickly?
Their eyes quickly swept over Ba Feng, and they quickly reacted. Surrounded by the Phoenix Nirvana Flame, Ba Feng's entire body was flowing with crystal light, and his black dragon armor was gleaming with a cold light, as if it were made of fine iron.
If I'm not mistaken, after the Phoenix Nirvana, Bafeng's body and dragon soul have been constantly purified, his strength has been continuously enhanced, and his dependence on Zhan Yuan has become less and less. Zhan Yuan's strength is not increasing, but constantly recovering.
Looking at Zhan Yuan's cold and arrogant face, despair appeared in the eyes of Jiang Yunhe and others.
Even if Mu Hanyan had not "gone astray", even if she was a little stronger, this was simply not an opponent from the same dimension.
Finally, the Demonic Abyss Sword finally struck down with a powerful blow. The mountains shook, rocks flew, and dust billowed. The graceful peaks seemed to have been struck by a meteor.
With a muffled groan, Taotie was the first to fly out from the dust and smoke.
This guy was quite unlucky. He boasted so much during the life and death illusion, but when he met Zhan Yuan, he was completely powerless. He was so embarrassed that he even felt embarrassed to brag anymore and suddenly fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yunhe and his companions flew out like kites with broken strings. They fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood at the same time. However, they did not wipe the blood from the corners of their mouths. Instead, they struggled to stand up, their eyes wide with shock, staring at the cloud of dust ahead.
Next to him, Taotie, who had rolled over countless times, also got up, his eyes filled with the same surprise.
The power of Zhan Yuan's sword was so strong that Jiang Yunhe and others had already made up their minds to die and did not think they had any chance of survival. Even Taotie did not think he could escape unscathed. Even if he did not die, he would definitely be seriously injured, and might even have to rely on the illusion of life and death to save his life.
However, the final result was completely different from what they expected. When the sword beams collided, they clearly felt that most of the power of Zhan Yuan's sword was dissipated, and in the end less than half of it fell on them. It was precisely because of this reason that although they were seriously injured, they unexpectedly saved their lives.
Who neutralized the power of that sword? Obviously it couldn't be them. Apart from Mu Hanyan, they couldn't think of anyone else.
But, didn’t she just become possessed? How could she still be so powerful? I’ve never heard that being possessed can increase one’s strength.
As they watched in shock and confusion, the dust gradually dissipated with the wind, and the figures of Mu Hanyan and Zhan Yuan reappeared in their sight.
Mu Hanyan leaned on the ground with her sword, her entire body stained red with blood mist, clearly severely injured. Meanwhile, Zhan Yuan, standing across from her, still stood proudly, but his face had turned slightly pale, and blood was slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Mu Hanyan actually injured Zhan Yuan, how is this possible! Jiang Yunhe and the others opened their mouths, unable to recover for a long time.
Mu Hanyan herself did not expect that using the three laws at the same time would be so powerful.
Originally, she was unable to suppress the three forces of law that were colliding with each other, and she considered herself unlucky and prepared to be seriously injured. But who could have imagined that under Zhan Yuan's fierce slash of the sword, the three forces of law actually erupted violently from the Hanxiao Sword, and even Zhan Yuan was injured.
If one could use the power of these laws at will, how powerful would it be? Perhaps defeating Zhan Yuan wouldn't be impossible, right? Mu Hanyan couldn't help but think so.
Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking. The simultaneous explosion of several laws of power certainly injured Zhan Yuan, but she herself was even more seriously injured. Others would injure the enemy for a thousand and then injure themselves for eight hundred, but she injured the enemy for eight hundred and then injure herself for a thousand, leaving her completely without the strength to fight again.
A cold wind blew past, and Mu Hanyan's body softened and she fell backwards powerlessly.
"Master Priest (Mu Hanyan)!" Jiang Qiling and Gao Weihu flew over at the same time and supported Mu Hanyan.
"Why don't you leave?" Mu Hanyan said with a wry smile.
In fact, based on her understanding of Gao Weihu and Jiang Qiling, how could she not know that Gao Weihu appears to be cold and cruel, and Jiang Qiling is arrogant and domineering and is known as the Little Witch of Longyan, but in fact they are both very affectionate people. At a time like this, they would never abandon their relatives and friends and escape alone.
But what good would it do if they stayed? It would just be two more people dying.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you back?" Seeing Jiang Qiling's moth-to-flame behavior, Jiang Yunhe became anxious and angry and stomped his feet.
They were all quite old and had long since become indifferent to life and death. Even if they died here, they would have lived up to their ancestors' trust. However, Jiang Qiling was still young, so there was really no need for her to accompany them to death.
"Father, Mu Hanyan saved my life, and I am also a member of the God's Servant Clan." Jiang Qiling said with determination.
"Sir, this is my mission as a follower. Although I am too weak to help you, there is no reason for me to abandon my master and escape alone. I cannot help you, but I can die with you." Gao Weihu said without hesitation.
