To inflict fatal damage on them, one must either pierce their heart meridians with a single sword strike, shatter their remaining souls with a powerful burst of energy, or simply sever their limbs, rendering them unable to move freely. But remember, these undead sword slaves were all high-ranking sword masters, some even tenth-rank master sword masters, retaining their previous reflexes and sword techniques. Achieving these goals is no easy task.
Amid the clanging sounds of metal clashing, Mu Hanyan had already exchanged several moves with the three undead sword slaves.
Fortunately, Mu Hanyan has reached the third level of swordsmanship. Although she doesn't have a good way to deal with them for the time being, she can suppress them with her strength and the other party cannot hurt her for a while.
However, Huayue and the others didn't have her strength, and she didn't know if they could handle it. While brandishing her sword to deal with the joint siege of the three undead sword slaves, Mu Hanyan looked at Huayue and the others with concern.
Fortunately, after being promoted to Great Sword Master, the combat power of the three men increased exponentially. Hua Yue's fierceness, Zi Rong's agility, and Jiang Yuzhe's elusiveness were fully utilized. Facing a first-level sword master whose true combat power was far stronger than that of an ordinary first-level sword master, the three of them were at a disadvantage and were forced to retreat repeatedly, but they did not lose their composure. From time to time, they were able to counterattack with a sword, forcing the opponent back a few steps, buying themselves a chance to breathe. It seemed that they would be safe for the time being.
Zhang Chihua has also been promoted to the realm of swordsman. Because the old master Zhang brought up a very strict family, he is not like other children of aristocratic families who are spoiled and useless. He has been exposed to experience since he was a child. In terms of practical experience, he is not inferior to Hua Yue and others. In addition, he has a calm temperament. He knows that the opponent is too strong and it will be difficult to win in a short time. Therefore, he does not seek to defeat the enemy but to protect himself first. The orderly attack and defense are also safe.
Mu Hanyan gradually felt relieved. Although these undead sword slaves were not weak, as far as she knew, they also had weaknesses. After all, they were just undead. Not only did they have only a trace of the soul of a strong man remaining in the world, but their bodies had long been decayed. The speed at which they absorbed the power of heaven and earth was extremely slow. As time went on, their combat effectiveness became weaker.
This is also the important reason why Xia Youchen and Fen Qianji were able to hold on until now despite being surrounded.
As long as they played steadily, conserved their strength, and avoided reckless attacks, they would eventually be worn down. The coalition forces of the past easily defeated the Undead armies by relying on this same method: first build fortresses and defend them, then wait until the enemy was exhausted before delivering a thundering blow.
Having made up her mind, Mu Hanyan's sword moves with measured attack and defense, neither hasty nor impatient.
"Mu Hanyan, I didn't expect that after just a few months of not seeing you, you have become so powerful. Even several of your followers have improved so much." Seeing the strength of Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue and others, Zhao Lingxian was secretly surprised, and said with some jealousy.
In the past, she had far surpassed Mu Hanyan in both talent and scheming. From childhood to adulthood, she had always held Mu Hanyan in a low position, even using a little trick to make Mu Hanyan faint on the spot, nearly killing her. But who knew that after surviving such a disaster, Mu Hanyan's mind would suddenly open up, and she would become a completely different person, giving her every opportunity to suffer setbacks.
Not only that, in just over a year, this former loser had cultivated himself from the first level of swordsman to the third level of swordsman, and had several followers with considerable strength. However, she, Miss Zhao Si, was harmed by Mu Hanyan, with her family broken up and forced to hide from place to place, becoming a stray dog. How could she be willing to accept this, and how could she not be jealous?
"But unfortunately, this time, you can't stop me no matter what. Don't think I don't know what you are planning. It's true that these undead sword slaves can't hold on for too long, but do you think you still have a lot of time? Once I subdue this divine beast, what awaits you is still death." After calming down his jealous and unwilling mood, Zhao Lingxian sneered again and made hand gestures at a faster speed.
Black runes flew towards the divine beast. A colorful light flashed before his eyes, and the light cocoon was finally eroded into a crack. The black runes flew directly onto its body.
In an instant, the divine beast stopped roaring and struggling, and floated in the air as if petrified.
Not good! Mu Hanyan was shocked. Judging from the situation, without the protection of the light cocoon, it wouldn't take long for Zhao Lingxian to subdue this divine beast.
Although she didn't know what method she used, she could guess that it was probably some unorthodox method similar to the Undead Soul Binding Technique. Such an evil method was definitely not as good as the beast taming techniques of Xia Youchen and Nian Anyao. The subdued beast would most likely see its strength greatly reduced like those undead sword slaves. But just by looking at the majestic and vast aura, Mu Hanyan knew that this was a beast more powerful than the Qiongqi beast. Even if its strength was greatly reduced, she was not able to contend with it.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan knew her plan to wear down these undead sword slaves had failed. If Zhao Lingxian subdued the beast, what would be the point of her killing even more undead sword slaves? Gritting her teeth, Mu Hanyan switched from defense to offense, attacking the three undead sword slaves with all her might.
Hua Yue and the others also had serious expressions on their faces as they began to counterattack. They were already weaker than their opponent, and even Zhang Chihua could only barely match him. Now, switching from defense to offense, their weaknesses were exposed, and they were all in danger.
"Mu Hanyan, have you changed your mind? Too bad, this will only make you die faster." Zhao Lingxian laughed wildly, her eyes filled with hatred and gnashing teeth as she spoke, "Mu Hanyan, your smartest choice right now is to leave here and hide as far away as possible. That way you can live a few more days. Otherwise, it won't be long before I make you wish you were dead."
Mu Hanyan's heart sank slightly. She knew that even with her strength, she would not be able to get rid of the three undead sword slaves in a short time, and Hua Yue and others were in even more danger. Although Zhao Lingxian's words were vicious, for her, leaving now was indeed the wisest choice.
However, Ye Lanxuan was still in the space crack. Who knew if he was in any danger? How could she retreat?
Moreover, she absolutely could not let Zhao Lingxian obtain the divine beast. Even she did not know how Zhao Lingxian's strength would skyrocket after obtaining the divine beast. If she succeeded, she would most likely have to live a miserable life away from Anyun. And what would happen to her parents, brother, and the Mu family of Black Stone City?
At this moment, we must not retreat!
But what should he do to get rid of these damned undead sword slaves? Looking at the lifeless, withered faces before him, unaware of pain or fear, Mu Hanyan was burning with anxiety, her eyes practically spitting fire.
"Miss Zhao Si, you are wrong. In fact, there is a smarter choice, which is to kill you!" At this moment, Hua Yue's cold voice came to Mu Hanyan's ears.
Mu Hanyan glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, a look of shock on her face.
