"Do you know where you went wrong? First, you really shouldn't have attacked me so early. Wouldn't you have had a better chance if you had waited until you returned to the Continent of Gods and reached the level of a Divine Soul Priest?
"Second, you shouldn't be wasting your strength before a big fight by performing a life hymn. Never underestimate your opponent. If you don't even understand this, I wonder how you've survived to this day?" Mu Hanyan shook her head, disdainful.
What she said was true. If Zhao Xinghong could be patient a little longer and wait until he returned to the Continent of Gods and made a complete breakthrough in strength before looking for an opportunity to attack her, it would be difficult for her to deal with him. After all, once she returned to the Continent of Gods, her sword skills would be greatly suppressed. Even if the priest's strength recovered, it would not be able to make up for the loss of combat power.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xinghong was too arrogant. He thought that with his strength as a peak tenth-rank Divine Heart Priest and the support of his family's elite, killing her would be a piece of cake. He simply had no patience to wait any longer. Not only that, he even painstakingly cast the Hymn of Life before the battle to set up a giant vine net. He was simply courting death.
"Mu Hanyan, don't think you can be arrogant just because you have the upper hand. Now I'll let you see my true strength!" Zhao Xinghong's face turned red and white. He was so angry and embarrassed by Mu Hanyan's scolding that he didn't think much and slashed at Mu Hanyan with his sword again.
A giant eagle appeared out of thin air again, and its body seemed to contain endless vitality, but the scales on its body were no longer dark green, but were made up of pieces of hard granite. The sharp eagle beak and eagle claws flashed with the unique cold light of metal, as if indestructible.
Obviously, this time he was no longer using the law of life, but also the law of the earth and the law of death.
Mu Hanyan was right. Zhao Xinghong had indeed underestimated her, which was why he hadn't waited to attack her before leaving the Blackwood Prison. However, after suffering a loss, he no longer dared to underestimate Mu Hanyan. Seeing the heavy casualties suffered by the priests, including the elite of the Zhao family, he dared not hold back and finally gave his all.
Seeing this scene out of the corner of their eyes, the priests who were struggling on the brink of death brightened up again.
Although one can try to comprehend multiple laws after being promoted to the Divine Heart Priest, it is difficult to integrate them. Zhao Xinghong can actually display three laws at the same time and integrate them into one. Naturally, his combat power is greatly increased, and they see a glimmer of hope for survival.
Mu Hanyan's expression did not change at all, but there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.
Zhao Xinghong's divine art, which simultaneously encompassed the power of three laws, seemed remarkable to others, but to her, it was merely so-so. In reality, Zhao Xinghong's divine art merely combined the power of the three laws through the giant eagle, but it wasn't a true integration, far inferior to her Tianxin technique.
"Mu Hanyan, I have given you a chance, but you are seeking death. Don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhao Xinghong was obviously very satisfied with his magic, and did not notice the contempt in Mu Hanyan's eyes. He sneered and pointed the long sword in his hand. Then he saw the giant eagle spread its wings and swooped down on Mu Hanyan like lightning.
Mu Hanyan didn't bother to talk nonsense and just swung her sword.
The blazing spear of fire, with its long tail of flame, streaked across the sky, and the entire world seemed to be illuminated by the dazzling flames.
The giant eagle swung its sharp talons, clawing at the flaming spear. With a soft, crackling sound, the claws, imbued with the Law of Death and seemingly indestructible to ordinary priests, snapped and vanished into nothingness. Then, still unimpeded, the flaming spear pierced the giant eagle's chest. The Law of Earth, the most formidable of all laws, seemed as fragile as a sheet of paper before the flaming spear.
"Bang!" With a slight sound, the giant eagle turned into a fireball and exploded again.
The fire spear continued to thrust towards Zhao Xinghong's chest.
"Impossible, impossible!" Zhao Xinghong was completely stunned by the scene before him.
In order to comprehend the method of controlling these three laws, he had expended countless efforts, spending a full ten years before finally finding the key. With his current cultivation at the peak of a tenth-order Divine Heart Priest, coupled with this divine art, he was likely to face few opponents below the Divine Soul Priest level. Even Guan Xiujin, the High Priest of the Temple of Life, might not have been able to gain the upper hand, and even against a Divine Soul Priest with a weaker rank, he could barely hold his own. But who could have imagined that this all-out attack would be so effortlessly neutralized by Mu Hanyan?
He could tell that Mu Hanyan's strength was at most a seventh-rank Divine Heart Priest, and even then, she would be at a discount in the Blackwood Prison. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a result.
How could he know that Mu Hanyan's Fireworks Spear not only contained her cultivation as a seventh-rank Divine Heart Priest, but also contained the power of three laws that blended together and complemented each other, and even contained her most proficient sword skills. Even a strong man like Zhan Yuan was powerless in the face of such a Mu Hanyan. If Ba Feng had not given up Nirvana and stepped forward to save her, he would have almost died under her sword.
No matter how strong Zhao Xinghong is, he can never be stronger than the Demon Emperor Zhan Yuan.
In extreme shock, Zhao Xinghong's brain even went blank for a moment. He didn't wake up until the fire spear was in front of him, and he slashed out with a fierce sword.
"Puff" Zhao Xinghong flew into the air and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Run, run!" Seeing that Zhao Xinghong was finally defeated and didn't even have the strength to fight back at the hands of Mu Hanyan, the priests who were in desperate situation around him finally gave up hope and fled out of the canyon.
However, both ends of the canyon had long been sealed tightly by the giant vine net, so how could they escape? You must know that these vines are different from ordinary magic. They are completely born from powerful life force. Even if Zhao Xinghong withdrew his magic or died, they would not disappear.
In desperation, they could only swing their swords and hack away at the vines desperately, but the vines were intertwined, layer upon layer, and extremely flexible. How could they cut through them in such a short time? In just a short while, dozens more priests were mauled to death by the pursuing beasts.
“Big Brother!”
"Father!" Zhao Xinghu and Zhao Zhiyuan rushed forward and helped up the seriously injured Zhao Xinghong.
They were lucky, as they had followed Zhao Xinghong closely and avoided being attacked by the strange beasts. However, they were also filled with despair. Their earlier uneasy premonition had indeed come true. Mu Hanyan's strength was indeed more than she appeared. Even with Zhao Xinghong's powerful cultivation, he was no match for her.
