"You shouldn't fight so hard. Don't you know that the more your vitality is depleted, the weaker your mental strength will be, and the easier it will be to perform the soul-searching technique." Xia Youchen said slowly, then pointed a finger at Mu Hanyan's brow.
In an instant, Mu Hanyan's whole body turned cold.
She had heard of the Soul Search Technique and knew that it wasn't easy to perform, relying entirely on mental strength. The greater the opponent's energy loss, the weaker their mental strength became, making the Soul Search Technique easier to perform.
But she had no choice. Even if she didn't use her full strength, she would still be waiting to die if she stayed.
But she didn't expect that Xia Youchen was so cunning. He didn't make a move for a long time, but pretended to be blocked and hung behind her in order to consume her mental strength.
The gap in strength was already huge, and this short distance of a hundred feet consumed most of Mu Hanyan's energy. Facing Xia Youchen's skinny and mummy-like fingers, Mu Hanyan was unable to block or dodge.
"Bang!" With a light sound, Xia Youchen's finger touched Mu Hanyan's eyebrows.
This time, there was really no escape. Feeling a cold and evil aura invading her brow, Mu Hanyan didn't even know how to resist. This uncanny technique was beyond her scope of practice.
Therefore, Mu Hanyan knew that she was doomed. To be more precise, her spirit and soul were dead, with only her body still living on in the world like a zombie.
Seeing this scene, everyone's heart sank suddenly and fell into an icy valley.
"Brother Hanyan!" Mu Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he rushed down the cliff quickly. Although he stumbled and fell with bruises all over his face, he still held up his sword and ran towards Mu Hanyan desperately.
At this moment, he completely forgot all the past grievances, forgot Ye Lanxun, and forgot his original intention of following Mu Hanyan. He only knew that Mu Hanyan was a member of the Mu family and his relative. He only knew that if it weren't for Mu Hanyan, he would have died in the Valley of Exotic Beasts or at the hands of Miss Zhao Si.
He had long ago sworn that his life would be all about Mu Hanyan! Even if he had to sacrifice his own life, he would never watch Mu Hanyan die before his eyes. Living and dying together, at least he would have a clear conscience.
"Mu Cheng, wait for me!" Wu Qiyun also rushed down. If he had any hesitation before, then seeing Mu Cheng's resolute look of never returning and sacrificing himself for his cause, the hesitation in his heart disappeared.
Anyway, it was Mu Hanyan who saved my life, and more than once. So what if I die with him? Having such a friend on the road to the underworld will make my life worthwhile.
"Kill!" Seeing the tragic look on Mu Cheng's face, Mu Feng's heart seemed to be pulled by something, and he actually rushed up as well.
No matter how the Mu family's descendants fought for power and profit in private, they always faced external enemies with their swords pointed outward. This fact has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and it is the fundamental reason why the Mu family has survived countless disasters and still stood firm.
In front of the three men was Xia Youchen, the beast-taming sword master who had been notorious for a thousand years. With their strength, charging forward like this was like hitting a rock with an egg. However, there was no hesitation or fear on their faces, only the determination to live and die together.
The passion in the blood of those young swordsmen was ignited once again, and the dignity and glory of being a swordsman surged in their hearts once again.
Mu Hanyan could risk his life alone in exchange for their departure. If they just watched him die at the hands of Xia Youchen, how could they live up to the reputation of being a swordsman? If they continued to live like this, not only would they be uneasy for the rest of their lives, but even their families would be brought shame upon them.
"Kill, kill..." Amidst the wild roars, the last hundred or so swordsmen all raised their swords high, turned around and rushed towards Xia Youchen.
