Ever since her cultivation level was promoted to the divine soul, Mu Hanyan has never felt such a huge crisis, even when Dou Nanshan unexpectedly attacked her last time. Only the Divine Lord could make her feel similar.
Could it be that the Lord God could no longer hold back and took action again?
Without thinking too much, Mu Hanyan suddenly drew out the sword and slashed out in one go.
It was not until the sword was swung out that Mu Hanyan saw clearly that the person who attacked was not the Lord God, but a strange man over fifty years old.
"Clang!" The sword beams collided, making a crisp sound. Mu Hanyan's wrist felt slightly numb, and she was shocked and took two steps back.
The middle-aged man opposite also took two steps back, but immediately raised his sword and walked towards Mu Hanyan.
"Who are you?" Mu Hanyan asked with a stern look.
With her current strength, apart from the Twelve Blessed Priests and the Lord God, she has few rivals in the Little God Heaven. However, the middle-aged man opposite her actually fought with her to a draw. Where on earth did this guy come from?
"Gu Changqiu." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.
"Gu Changqiu?" Mu Hanyan looked at him doubtfully. She felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
The middle-aged man obviously had no intention of answering her questions, nor did he give her any time to think. He suddenly shook his wrist and swung his sword again.
Sword Art! Mu Hanyan was suddenly shocked. Judging from Gu Changqiu's attack, he was obviously using the Holy Court Sword Art. However, what was shocking was that the sword light also emitted a yellow light unique to the earth element law, and even contained divine arts.
It turns out that he is not the only one in this world who has comprehended the way of swordsmanship and divine arts at the same time and combined the two into one!
Mu Hanyan did not dare to delay and slashed out with the sword again.
There was another crisp sound, and sword energy and divine light flew out. The two men retreated a few steps again, and it was still difficult to tell who was stronger.
This time, before Mu Hanyan could gain her footing, Gu Changqiu attacked again.
"Hey, who are you? I have no grudge against you, why are you forcing me?" Mu Hanyan asked angrily while resisting the opponent's fierce attack.
Although she did not gain any advantage in the two consecutive sword strikes, it was only because she did not dare to use her sword skills easily. If she used her sword skills, Gu Changqiu would have no chance of winning at all.
In fact, the Lord God had already asked Fen Qianji to tell her that he would no longer interfere in her affairs. Even if he used his sword skills, it would not matter much, but the temple was not his temple alone, and the Continent of Gods was not his Continent alone. The hatred that had lasted for millions of years would not melt away just because of his words. So if Mu Hanyan could avoid using her sword skills, she would try not to use it, so as not to expose her identity and embarrass him, and she did not want to embarrass Fen Qianji even more.
Furthermore, her advancement to the Divine Soul realm coincided with her advancement to the Sword Saint realm. While her combat power had increased exponentially, the combined sword skills and divine arts were becoming increasingly difficult to control. Last time, she'd intended to teach Dou Changping a lesson, but accidentally crippled his cultivation. She had no grudges against Gu Changqiu; she didn't even know his origins, and she didn't want to harm him easily.
Unfortunately, Gu Changqiu did not appreciate her kindness at all. He did not answer his question and continued to attack with sword after sword.
In a short moment, the two exchanged hundreds of moves, with sword energy and divine skills shocking the world. Huge rocks were turned into powder, and everything within a hundred feet was razed to the ground. Mu Hanyan also retreated repeatedly.
