While the Body-Destroying and Soul-Splitting Technique is considered a last resort by many powerful hermits facing a bottleneck and the end of their lives, it is not without danger. In fact, the extinction of life force and the separation of soul and spirit inherently carry enormous risks. A single mistake could backfire, and a feigned death could become a real one.
Even if you get through this stage and successfully temper your body to break through the bottleneck, it will still be difficult to return your spirit to your body smoothly.
However, compared to these difficulties, the most dangerous thing is the process of the soul returning to the body. This is also their weakest moment, and it is also Mu Hanyan's best chance, or the only chance.
As long as the spiritual consciousness of Gui Yu that has not yet fully returned to his body can be destroyed, he will never wake up and will become a real corpse, without even a chance to come back to life.
"Ah..." A shrill scream came from my mind.
Gui Yumie obviously didn't expect that Mu Hanyan would see through his secret, and he was severely injured by her Shenwu Lianpo Jue.
A half-real and half-illusory figure suddenly emerged from Gui Yumie's body and roared towards the sky.
Although no sound could be heard in the ears, the shrill and angry roar rang in the mind. Except for Saint-level masters like Ye Lanxuan and Yun Bo, everyone's face showed pain.
Some black-clad swordsmen with poor skills even bled from all seven orifices and fell to the ground and died on the spot.
Mu Hanyan was also horrified. She had never imagined that Gui Yumie's spiritual power was so powerful that it could condense a half-real and half-virtual soul shadow.
In her memory, only Mu Tianlie could do this, and the other one was Xinghuan Qianji. However, the reason why Xinghuan Qianji's residual soul could survive until now was with the help of that mysterious star disk. In terms of the power of his divine consciousness, it might not be as good as Gui Yumie in front of him.
"I will kill you, I will kill you!" Gui Yumie's roar came into his ears. The half-real and half-illusory soul shadow, like the legendary wronged soul and evil ghost, opened its arms and pounced towards Mu Hanyan.
A gloomy and terrifying evil force instantly enveloped Mu Hanyan.
Under the tremendous pressure, Mu Hanyan seemed to be pressed down by a huge mountain and could not move.
"Young Master!" Hua Yue and the others exclaimed in unison, their faces turning ashen.
No one had expected that Gui Yumie's divine consciousness would be so powerful that their minds were controlled by it, and they didn't even have a chance to rescue him.
Seeing that Gui Yumie's claw-like hands were about to grab Mu Hanyan's head, Hua Yue and others felt a chill in their hearts.
At the critical moment, suddenly, a dazzling red light came into view, like a burning flame.
A long sword of ancient style appeared behind Gui Yumie's soul shadow and slashed down with the force of thunder.
Mu Hanfeng's slightly childish, yet resolute and handsome face appeared before his eyes.
It turns out that Han Xiao Sword’s perception was correct, it was really him!
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Chixiao Sword slashed into Gui Yumie's defenseless soul shadow.
As the red flames on the sword exploded, Gui Yu's soul was shocked and retreated repeatedly, and the color became noticeably lighter, obviously suffering another serious injury.
However, his spiritual power was too powerful. Under the huge recoil force, Mu Hanfeng was also blown away, hitting the stone wall heavily and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the blood on Mu Hanfeng's chest, Mu Hanyan became even more furious. She suddenly pulled back the Hanxiao Sword and slashed it out wildly.
"Boom!" Another loud noise was heard, and Mu Hanyan was shocked and took several steps back.
However, Gui Yumie's soul shadow also became lighter, like a thin mist that could disappear at any time.
Without a moment's hesitation, Mu Hanyan forced the surging blood in her chest to calm down, stepped forward lightly, and slashed out with another sword.
At the same time, Mu Hanfeng on the opposite side also stood up and swung the Chixiao Sword in his hand again.
Just like the excitement of the reunion of siblings Mu Hanyan and Mu Hanfeng, the Chixiao Sword and the Hanxiao Sword also let out a long whistle filled with joy when they met again, and the power of the swords increased a bit.
The red sword light was like a blazing flame burning the sky, and the snow-cold sword light was like frost and dancing snow. The two completely different and incompatible sword lights intertwined and reflected a charming rainbow.
However, this rainbow contains a heart-pounding murderous intent.
With a loud bang, two sword beams once again slashed at Gui Yumie's soul shadow, bursting into a burst of fire and silver flowers.
Ye Yumie's soul shadow was chopped away heavily and became even more illusory. Obviously, under the repeated attacks of Mu Hanyan and Mu Hanfeng, the brother and sister, and under the sword power of the two magic swords, Hanxiao Sword and Chixiao Sword, his mind, which had already been severely damaged by Mu Hanfeng's unexpected sword, could no longer hold on.
Mu Hanyan and Mu Hanfeng looked at each other. Although they didn't say a word, they understood each other and saw the determined murderous intent in each other's eyes.
The two men raised their swords again and attacked Gui Yumie's soul shadow.
One sword, just one more sword strike, and Gui Yumie's soul will be shattered, and he will never have a chance to come back to life.
Gui Yumie obviously knew this as well, and a look of despair appeared on his hazy face.
"With my soul, I will destroy the heaven and earth. With my spirit, I will ruin the universe. Destroy!" Gui Yumie's hoarse chanting came into his ears. A bright light suddenly burst out from the hazy soul shadow, and it shattered into pieces in an instant.
A powerful storm of divine thoughts swept towards the surroundings.
The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and the earth was trembling. The whole world seemed to be in panic.
"Forbidden Technique!" Mu Hanyan's heart was shaken. Such power could only be achieved through forbidden techniques. In despair, Gui Yu actually destroyed his own divine consciousness and performed the forbidden technique.
Not far away, Hua Yue and others who had witnessed the power of forbidden techniques also changed their expressions.
"Retreat quickly!" Mu Hanyan didn't have time to think and shouted at Hua Yue and others.
Hua Yue and the others knew this was not the time to show off their prowess. No matter what this forbidden technique was, it was definitely beyond their ability to resist. Turning around, they rushed out of the valley.
Seeing Hua Yue and others leave, Mu Hanyan was also ready to fly back, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, as if millions of sharp arrows pierced her brain at the same time.
Even with Mu Hanyan's strong will, the pain was so severe that her mind went blank for a moment, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan felt her body lighten and she was pushed out.
"Brother, let's go!" At the same time, Mu Hanfeng's anxious roar came to his ears.
Mu Hanyan then realized that Mu Hanfeng had saved her again at the critical moment.
"Han Feng, you go first!" Mu Hanyan hurriedly used the Shenwu Soul Refining Technique, and streams of clear water quickly flowed into her mind. The severe pain was relieved a lot, and she regained her clarity of mind. She turned around and shouted at Mu Hanfeng.
However, before she finished her words, Mu Hanyan's expression froze.
