The five people of Mu Hanyan stood in a line, boldly heading directly towards the few Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants. Their steps were not fast, but they were so firm, without a hint of hesitation, nor a trace of fear.
"Wha... what do they want to do?" Mu Chengqi stamred.
The people around cast a disdainful glance at him. Even a fool should know that the five of Mu Hanyan intended to block the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants from advancing.
However, the power of the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants was so formidable, their defenses so strong, that if not for their mild nature, they wouldn’t rank far below the Fierce Stone Demon among the Exotic Beasts. Such strength, could the five of them really stop the charge of these elephants?
The beast roar was deafening, the entire city wall trembled violently, the wind howling over the hills, lifting their long hair, adding an air of tragic heroism to the figures of Mu Hanyan and companions.
On the city wall, whether the citizens of Beiguan Town, the soldiers guarding the city, or the young nobles of the Yan and He families, all stood in solemn respect. They felt as if sothing was stuck in their throat, stifling them uncomfortably.
The City Lord and the military and civilians in the city had eyes full of tears. They knew, even if the city were breached, with their desperate resistance, Mu Hanyan, as the leader of the noble family’s children, had every chance to leave calmly. Yet, she did not leave; instead, she led a few followers to face the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants. Clearly, it was all for them, and for those low-cultivation townspeople.
Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanyan, this na echoed in everyone’s hearts. This is Mu Hanyan, this is Mu Hanyan!
Mu Chengxuan and Yan Yuchu exchanged a glance, pressed the hilt of their swords, and were about to jump off the city wall.
"Don’t move, just watch." At that mont, Mu Hanyan waved her hand and commanded.
Mu Chengxuan and the others were slightly stunned, but eventually stopped.
Finally, the foremost Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant charged towards Mu Hanyan, and it was the strongest one.
Seeing these tiny humans dare stand in its way, the already sowhat crazy Red Cloud Gold Armored Beast was clearly enraged, roaring furiously, lifting a giant stone with its trunk and hurling it heavily at Mu Hanyan.
This attack was no less powerful than a full-force strike of a Great Sword Master. Hearing the dull roaring sound, the faces of everyone on the city wall changed.
"Nine Heavens, Star Fall!" Mu Hanyan’s expression remained calm and composed.
The Cold Sky Sword scattered cold glimr on the ground, neither dodging nor yielding, it slashed at the giant stone hurtling towards them, imbued with the might of a Great Sword Master.
"Boom!" A loud crash resonated, stone shards flew everywhere.
The giant stone was shattered into powder by a single slash from Mu Hanyan, the residual power within the Sword Light even causing the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant to stagger back several steps.
On the city wall, everyone widened their eyes in amazent. The people of Beiguan Town didn’t know Mu Hanyan’s strength. Though they guessed she was above a Sword Master, looking at her youthful age, they assud she was at most a Fourth or Fifth Rank Sword Master. However, the noble family’s children from the Capital had so idea of Mu Hanyan’s strength before she left the capital last ti, knowing she was a Sixth-level Sword Master.
Who would have thought, on the journey to Shangyue Country, her strength would progress from a Sixth-level Sword Master to a Tenth Rank—Great Sword Master Realm!
"Thunder Sound, Sky Swinging!" Beside, a thunderous hum echoed, causing another Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant to stagger back in retreat!
Huayue’s tall and sturdy figure, still guarded by Mu Hanyan’s side.
"Demon Sword, Heart Kill!" A ghost-like figure swept by, the bizarre longsword in hand forcing another Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant to retreat continuously. Though it kept swinging giant stones with its long trunk, it always missed by a hair, posing no threat at all.
The one who attacked was naturally the Demon Sword capable of perceiving all mysteries—Zirong.
"Clone, Illusion Destruction!" Three identical figures leaped high, slashing down at the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant below with imnse force. Although the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants were top-notch in defense and power among the Exotic Beasts, they had no ans to counter such an innately gifted ability. The Sword Light, containing the powerful Qi of a Ninth Rank Sword Master, hacked down upon it unimpeded. With a muffled roar, this Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant was also forced back.
"Fury, Devil Slash!" Tang Bufan’s clothes fluttered, and his long hair danced wildly as he slashed madly one sword after another. Without technique, without reservation, sacrificing himself fearlessly.
Exotic Beasts possessed intelligence not inferior to humans. Facing this frenzied attack, the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant in front of him could only fight force with force.
Loud crashes resounded like raindrops, and in an instant, Tang Bufan had already struck over a dozen tis, his face turning sowhat pale, a trace of blood appearing faintly at the corner of his mouth. But the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant opposite him retreated again and again, even showing signs of fear in its eyes.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Not only did Mu Hanyan have the strength of a Great Sword Master, but her followers had also reached the Ninth or Eighth Rank Sword Master. Judging by their moves, their actual combat power evidently far surpassed their Cultivation Realm.
Soone finally spoke up, and on the city wall, a thunderous cheer erupted.
Although the strength and defense of the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants did not fall much short compared to the Fierce Stone Demons, their gentle nature left them far inferior in combat skills to the Fierce Stone Demons. With only their innate divine strength and indestructible defense, they didn’t know how to use them. They clumsily swung their trunk covered with armor plates awkwardly or even clumsier lifted their pillar-like giant legs to stomp heavily.
Such attacks certainly posed no threat to Huayue and the others, whose sword techniques were exquisite and movents nimble. Moreover, with the strength of a Ninth Rank Sword Master combined with innate divine abilities, the absolute power they unleashed did not fall much behind those elephants.
Under wave upon wave of attacks, the Red Cloud Gold Armored Beasts retreated continuously, the madness in their eyes also replaced with fear.
Among Exotic Beasts, the hierarchy and respect are even stricter and more insurmountable than humans. With these Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants at the forefront, hordes of low-level Exotic Beasts in the back dared not advance a step. As the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants withdrew, fear also appeared in their eyes.
"In the na of Aolai, I command all beasts under heaven, prosper those who follow , perish those who oppose !" Mu Hanyan seized the mont to recite the Divine Beast Contract.
In an instant, the night sky was filled with tumultuous winds and clouds, an expanse of several miles shrouded in the ancient, desolate, yet majestic and vast Divine Beast Heavenly Might.
All the Exotic Beasts trembled violently, hardly daring to lift their heads.
"In the na of Aolai, I command all beasts under heaven, prosper those who follow , perish those who oppose ! In the na of..." Mu Hanyan recited the Divine Beast Contract repeatedly.
Back in Fang Town, even the extrely aggressive Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger and the notorious Earthly Ferocious Bear couldn’t withstand this Divine Beast Heavenly Might, let alone the inherently gentle Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants.
