After a tough fight, her chest was heaving, and her spiritual power was severely depleted. It was no wonder, as Gu Changqiu's attacks combined both divine arts and swordsmanship, making it impossible to counter them. Mu Hanyan focused her full attention on each strike, her spiritual power far surpassing that of an average person. Anyone else would have been exhausted and died in battle.
Mu Hanyan was extremely tired, but Gu Changqiu remained as calm as ever, without a trace of fatigue on his face, as if he never knew fatigue.
What was going on? Mu Hanyan could sense that his opponent's strength was actually slightly inferior to hers. The reason he was able to fight her on equal terms was mainly because he unscrupulously displayed his swordsmanship and divine arts, while she was too concerned and could only use divine arts. But since his strength was clearly inferior to hers, why did she feel exhausted and unable to concentrate, while he acted as if nothing had happened?
"No, if I continue like this, he will drag me to death sooner or later!" Mu Hanyan couldn't think of an answer, but she knew that she couldn't go on like this any longer. Otherwise, let alone finding the broken seal and the destiny star disk, it would be a problem whether she could leave the Divine Sword Gorge alive.
"Eight Desolations, the Gods Fall!" Mu Hanyan finally hardened her heart and used her trump card. This sword was no longer just a divine art, but also implied her powerful sword skills.
The sword shone with divine light, slashing straight towards Gu Changqiu. Mu Hanyan was surprised to see that at the moment she was about to strike with all her might, Gu Changqiu suddenly stopped, frozen in place.
"Be careful!" Mu Hanyan didn't expect that he would suddenly stop. She exclaimed and subconsciously retracted the divine sword skills after the fusion.
If it were in the past, she would never have stopped at this time, but this time, Mu Hanyan was pleasantly surprised to find that she had actually retracted half of the power of her divine sword skills.
However, Mu Hanyan's happiness did not last long, because Gu Changqiu still seemed to be oblivious to her words. He stood there like a petrified man, allowing the sword to strike him in the chest, splitting him in half.
There was no blood flying, no smell of blood in the air, and Gu Changqiu's high figure just disappeared out of thin air, as if he had never appeared.
"A remnant of the divine consciousness!" Mu Hanyan was stunned for a long time before she suddenly realized that this Gu Changqiu was actually just a remnant of the divine consciousness. It was just too condensed and too powerful, and even she couldn't distinguish it in such a hurry.
After understanding this, Mu Hanyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind and remembered Gu Changqiu's origins.
Over the past six months, in order to find out the whereabouts of the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death and the Destiny Star Plate, she had looked through the books collected by the main temple and saw a record: tens of thousands of years after the separation of the Holy Continent, the space barrier had not yet been completely stabilized, and the temple and the Holy Court had fought several wars. At that time, the strength of the strong men on both sides was far greater than today.
In the most tragic battle, nearly a thousand soul priests and sword masters died on the battlefield, and the names of every strong man were recorded in history. Gu Changqiu was one of the strong men in the temple at that time.
It turns out that this Divine Sword Gorge is the ancient battlefield of that great war. Although Gu Changqiu and others died in the battle, a trace of their spiritual consciousness and soul was permanently preserved in this seal.
Finally clearing up the mystery, Mu Hanyan looked back at the sword in her hand. She had been so focused on dealing with Gu Changqiu's attack, which combined both divine arts and swordsmanship, that her spiritual power had been severely damaged. She had been forced to fight back with all her might. It was when she struck the sword that she suddenly realized her hard work had not been in vain.
