Chapter 1004: Is Han Feng in That Ancient Ancestral Hall?
In the midst of the humming sound, Mu Hanyan clearly felt a sense of closeness and warmth.What is going on? Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned; she didn’t think the Cold Sky Sword would have any connection with the Guiyu Clan.
The ancestral hall was still shaking violently, and amidst the humming of the Cold Sky Sword, aside from closeness and warmth, there was an overwhelming sense of anxiety, as if a flaming crimson longsword appeared in Mu Hanyan’s mind.
"Chi Xiao Sword!" Mu Hanyan was greatly shocked in her heart.
Back then, the Cold Sky Sword was able to possess spirituality because it was influenced by the sword spirit of the Chi Xiao Sword and can be said to be from the same origin as the Chi Xiao Sword. That sense of familiarity also came from it, but why would it suddenly recall the Chi Xiao Sword at this moment? Could it be that the Chi Xiao Sword is nearby, meaning that Mu Hanfeng is also nearby?
Mu Hanyan’s gaze swiftly scanned the surroundings but didn’t spot Mu Hanfeng’s figure. Her divine sense quickly swept over but didn’t sense Mu Hanfeng’s aura.
Her gaze lingered on the ancient ancestral hall: Could it be that Han Feng is inside that hall?
"How is that possible!" Mu Hanyan almost couldn’t believe her own guess and didn’t want to believe it either.
However, the feeling from the Cold Sky Sword was so real, intimate, yet filled with anxiety.
Without giving Mu Hanyan much time to think, while she was full of doubt and worry, black-clothed swordsmen sprang in from all directions, blocking the front of the ancestral hall.
"Guiyu Clan disciples, hear my order. At all costs, kill them." A leading black-robed elder shouted loudly.
"Kill!" All the black-clothed swordsmen let out a thunderous roar, charging towards Mu Hanyan and the others from all sides.
The four black-robed elders also let out a long whistle, splitting one person to attack Uncle Yun, while the others attacked Ye Lanfeng together again.
They all could see that, among the newcomers, Ye Lanfeng was the strongest, with Mu Hanyan being far weaker. As long as they could keep Ye Lanfeng occupied, the other Guiyu disciples could drag Mu Hanyan and the others to death.
As long as the Family Head’s evil technique was perfected, they would have accomplished a major achievement.
"Kill them." Mu Hanyan said in a deep voice.
Even without the matter of Mu Hanfeng, she had to destroy the ancestral hall, let alone, according to the spiritual intent from the Cold Sky Sword, Han Feng was likely in that hall. Although she didn’t know why he was here or what his current situation was, she couldn’t give the Guiyu Family Head the chance to perfect the evil technique no matter what.
In an instant, the sound of killing rose, and sword energy shot into the sky.
Bloody mist scattered in the sky, and the air was thick with a strong stench of blood.
Mu Hanyan, Huayue, and Jiang Yuzhe stood at three corners, while defending against attacks from all directions, they advanced towards the ancestral hall.
All around, frost and snow were dancing, and Mu Hanyan’s sword edge was hidden among the frost and snow; nearly every sword thrust brought up a bloom of blood.
Beside her, Huayue’s sword force remained fiercely unmatched, each slash carrying an ear-piercing whistle.
But Jiang Yuzhe’s swordsmanship was the exact opposite, silent and elusive yet hauntingly unpredictable.
Both of them had pushed their Qi and swordsmanship to the extreme. Although they weren’t as precise as Mu Hanyan with each strike, they defended and attacked with skill, building a solid defense behind Mu Hanyan.
However, the Guiyu Clan’s swordsmanship was so precise and they coordinated so well, even though most of them were just at the swordsman level, the combat power they unleashed was far beyond their own cultivation realm, and even though not comparable to a Sword Master, it was not far off.
Despite holding the Cold Sky Sword, Mu Hanyan’s combat power soared dramatically, coupled with the mysterious force suddenly appearing on her, doubling her combat power further. Every sword thrust brought a splash of blood, but the opponents were too many in number. Once one enemy fell, another immediately replaced them, blocking Mu Hanyan again.
Moreover, the opponent’s coordination was exceptionally seamless. Many, although unable to withstand her strong sword force, could deftly avoid a fatal blow with their companion’s cover at the last moment, simply dealing with their injuries before fearlessly returning to the attack.
So, although Mu Hanyan’s every sword drew blood, not many were killed outright, completely losing combat effectiveness.
No wonder in a battlefield of thousands, apart from masters in the Sword Saint Realm, even Great Sword Masters found it hard to determine victory and defeat and could easily be overwhelmed in the sea of people. Mu Hanyan now finally knew the reason.
Without absolute power suppression, dragging on like this would wear down even a Sword Saint.
No, it cannot continue like this!
Mu Hanyan made a decisive decision and used the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique.
A divine light appeared in her eyes, and the black-clothed swordsmen in front of her showed a moment of confusion in their gaze. Mu Hanyan seized the opportunity and stabbed a sword into his heart meridian.
Blood splattered, and the black-clothed swordsman let out a scream and died on the spot.
Finally achieving a kill with a single stroke, Mu Hanyan didn’t have much joy in her heart.
This time, using the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique, she originally intended to affect the minds of the three black-clothed swordsmen in front of her simultaneously. However, only one of them lost focus, and the other two were barely influenced. She quickly thrust two more swords, but the two of them cleverly sidestepped, avoiding fatal wounds with only minor injuries.
It seems that as their sword techniques improved, their divine sense also experienced significant enhancement. Otherwise, with their mere Great Swordsman cultivation, they couldn’t withstand the mental attack of her Third Stage Sword Master Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique. But this was normal; without a major boost in divine sense, they couldn’t execute such precise swordsmanship.
What kind of evil technique is the Guiyu Family using? Mu Hanyan furrowed her eyebrows again. Such mysterious techniques to forcibly enhance combat power must either rely on elixirs or require sacrificing longevity as a premise, not only incurring a great cost but usually not lasting long.
However, these black-clothed swordsmen had forcibly enhanced their sword techniques, clearly without relying on Dan Power, and not using any methods to burn life or sacrifice longevity, and after battling for so long, they hadn’t shown any fatigue, so what exactly is the reason?
The more time passed, the more Mu Hanyan felt apprehensive, especially regarding the Guiyu Family Master who was about to awaken.
However, her biggest concern remained Mu Hanfeng, possibly in the ancestral hall. Now that the Guiyu Family Master hadn’t awakened, Mu Hanfeng might not be in too much danger. The spiritual intent from the Cold Sky Sword confirmed this, but once the opponent perfects the evil technique, Mu Hanfeng would be in mortal danger.
