Compared to Mu Hanyan’s Snowfall Sword Transformation Technique, this Ice Law was imasurably stronger. The Chaotic Beast let out a muffled howl again, being struck away, and as it flew through the air, its enormous body was encased in ice, scattering frost as it hit the ground.
"Crack!" The ice shattered, and the Chaos erged. It was clear that after the repeated attacks, it was not lightly injured, also showing signs of fatigue, but the ferocity in its eyes only intensified.
Mu Hanyan took a breath and consud a few Elixirs, also revealing signs of exhaustion.
Although with her current strength, the consumption of Qi by the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword wasn’t as huge as before, it was still extrely labor-intensive to invoke the Heaven and Earth Rules through the Divine Beast Contract. After a few strikes, she was sowhat lacking in follow-up strength.
Huayue and the others exchanged glances and simultaneously charged towards the Chaotic Beast.
Mu Hanyan wanted to stop them, but with her current exhausted body, she was really unable to continue fighting.
However, from the previous situation, the Divine Beast Contract could not only invoke the Heaven and Earth Rules but also suppress the innate abilities of the Chaotic Beast, so she didn’t have to worry too much.
"By the na of Aolai, I command all beasts under heaven, those who follow shall prosper, those who oppose shall perish!" Concentrating her mind, Mu Hanyan chanted the Beast God Contract again.
"Crackle!" With a thunderous roar, Huayue’s longsword burst with a flash of lightning fla.
Zirong’s sword ignited with dazzling flas.
Jiang Yuzhe’s longsword was shrouded in a layer of frost.
Tang Bufan’s sword edge swept by, surprisingly unleashing wind blades.
It turned out that this Heaven and Earth Rules locked onto the Chaotic Beast, making Huayue and the others’ attacks equally effective.
Bolts of lightning, electrical sparks, ice frost, and wind blades rained down upon the Chaotic Beast, causing it to stagger backward repeatedly, letting out a scream of agony.
However, without the imprint of the Beast God Contract, its ferocity was far beyond that of Taowu and Qiongqi. Even severely wounded, it remained aggressive, constantly swinging its giant paws at Huayue and the others.
Fortunately, Huayue’s body was tough and defensively impressive, Zirong had Devil Eyes able to predict the enemy’s moves, and Jiang Yuzhe used Shadow Shifting to be elusive, making them relatively safe.
Especially Zirong, who unleashed all his sleazy and nefarious tactics to the fullest, every sword strike aid at the vital points on the backside of the Chaotic Beast. The Beast’s anguished and furious roars were largely due to him.
Tang Bufan, though slightly weaker, was very self-aware, keeping his distance and simply firing off wind blades from afar, staying even safer.
Even Ling Baobao didn’t idle, hiding further away and tossing Heavenly Flying Immortal blades at the retreating Chaotic Beast.
Mu Hanyan, after taking so more Elixirs, gradually regained so Qi and joined the battle again.
Lightning, fireballs, ice spikes, and wind blades rained down like a storm on the Chaotic Beast.
Even Taowu, who had earlier pitifully begged for pets and comfort, joined the fray, extending its little claw to scratch and claw at the Chaotic Beast without caring about dirtying its paws.
Under the relentless assault from Mu Hanyan and the others, especially Zirong’s shaless group attack, the Chaotic Beast finally let out a mournful howl, turning to flee desperately, with other Exotic Beasts retreating like a tide.
Only at this mont did the citizens atop the city walls awaken from their daze, erupting into thunderous cheers.
All around, the surviving Black-armored Guards and City Guard Soldiers also shouted joyfully to the heavens.
Looking at Mu Hanyan, every gaze was filled with gratitude and admiration.
Although they didn’t understand what Mu Hanyan was chanting, nor knew why the seemingly invincible Chaotic Beast suddenly beca vulnerable, they knew that without Mu Hanyan, none of them would have survived, and the citizens in the city would not have been spared.
Mu Hanyan also let out a long breath, feeling utterly drained, as if all her strength had been exhausted, sitting wearily on the ground.
Besides her, Huayue and the others were not in much better shape, either sitting clumsily on the ground or leaning on their swords, breathing heavily.
The combined assault on the Chaotic Beast seed effortless but was far from easy.
This particular Chaotic Beast, unlike the resurrected and reborn Qiongqi and Taowu, retained a strength of at least sixty to seventy percent of its peak, even with its innate abilities suppressed by Mu Hanyan’s Beast God Contract. Its defense remained extraordinarily strong, and its ferocity was unmatched, not comparable to the herbivore Qiongqi or the increasingly dumbass-like Taowu.
Despite the formidable Power of Laws, Huayue and the others could see that leveraging it through the Divine Beast Contract was incredibly costly to Mu Hanyan’s Qi and Divine Thought Power, so they put in their utmost effort to crush the Chaotic Beast’s fighting spirit in the shortest ti possible, lest Mu Hanyan runs out of stamina with a prolonged fight.
After what seed like an easy group assault, they were all completely exhausted.
Yet, having finally repelled the formidable enemy, they all showed comforting smiles on their faces.
After a long while, the tide-like cheers gradually ceased, and a few Black-armored Guards ca forward to help up Wu Ziyue.
With a complex look at Mu Hanyan and the others, Wu Ziyue suddenly ordered, "Arrest them and take them back to the City Lord’s Mansion to await further orders."
"What!" Upon hearing Wu Ziyue’s order, the area inside and outside the city fell into a dead silence; everyone was stunned.
Even Huayue and the others looked incredulously at Wu Ziyue, wondering if he was scared silly, but seeing his cold and clear gaze, there was no sign of fear.
Wu Ziyue’s Black-armored Guards were also confused, wondering if they’d heard incorrectly.
After all, it wasn’t just the soldiers and civilians of the city; even Wu Ziyue’s life was saved by Mu Hanyan. How could he give such an order?
"Are you all deaf? Take them back to the City Lord’s Mansion and await further orders!" Wu Ziyue pointed at Mu Hanyan and the others, reiterating his command.
"Lord City Master, it was thanks to Lord Mu’s tily intervention that the Chaotic Beast was repelled. She has a lifesaving grace for us and the hundreds of thousands of people in Dingbian City, how... how can you repay kindness with enmity?" An elder stood up tremblingly, indignantly saying.
"Hmph, you say I’m repaying kindness with enmity? Then let ask you, for ten thousand years, Dingbian City has never been attacked by Exotic Beasts, so why did they co as soon as they arrived?
And, Chaos is one of the ancient Four Great Fierce Beasts, even the elite Black Armor Guards are powerless against it, so how could Mu Hanyan retreat it with just a few spells?" Wu Ziyue said with a cold sneer.
"What does Lord City Master think is the reason?" The elder said, forcefully suppressing his anger. He already knew Wu Ziyue’s shalessness, but what he was doing now had surpassed any previously known level of shalessness.
