Chapter 714 Father and brother’s heroic spirit is boundless!
"What do I have to fear!" Mu Rui’an stood tall, his pride reaching the heavens.Both men leapt into the air, their longswords crashing out of their scabbards, slashing towards each other simultaneously.
In an instant, Sword Light soared to the skies, their qi surging to the clouds.
The dazzling Sword Light, as if rending heaven and earth, left everything in the world shaking. Even the combatants below involuntarily slowed their attacks, their hearts trembling with fear as they looked toward the two figures.
"Sword Master of the Fifth Rank!" Mu Hanyan finally realized her father’s strength, he was actually a Fifth Rank Sword Master.
Such prowess, even among the Capital’s Zong Family, would definitely be considered that of a master. It was known that her father left the Zong Family more than a decade ago, and in order to protect her, had deliberately kept his distance from the family, receiving no help from the Zong Family since then. Naturally, his cultivation resources could not compare to those of the Zong Family’s disciples.
Yet, her father had still reached the level of a Fifth Rank Sword Master. Seeing Mu Rui’an’s towering, domineering aura, Mu Hanyan felt immense pride.
However, along with her pride, there was also a vague worry in her heart—Zhao Yuanji was also a Fifth Rank Sword Master!
No wonder, in her previous life, the Mu Family had suffered such great losses, and no wonder Mu Yuanshui was severely injured right from the start. Who would have thought that this old man possessed such strength.
As for Mu Yunshui himself, his face turned pale, his heart filled with fear: Fortunately, Zhao Yuanji did not use his full strength earlier, or else, due to his carelessness, he feared he might have lost his life in Heishi City.
The entire sky seemed to be enveloped by the cold light of their Sword Light, high above the clouds gathered, forming myriad illusions, like beasts running wild and an array of swords pointing threateningly.
Though it was a duel between two men, it was as if armies clashed head-on.
A thunderous roar shattered the sky, the illusions vanished, and both men were sent flying back several yards. Mu Rui’an’s arm trembled slightly, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Father!" Mu Hanyan and Mu Hanfeng were shocked and hurriedly flew up to support their father.
"I’m fine, don’t worry." Mu Rui’an waved his hand, a faint smile appearing on his face.
On the other side, Zhao Yuanji let out a muffled grunt, with streaks of blood seeping out and quickly staining his clothes crimson.
Clearly, in that fierce exchange, although Mu Rui’an was injured, Zhao Yuanji’s wounds were more severe, and the difference in their strengths was immediately clear.
Seeing this scene, the Mu Family and the reinforcements from the Wu and Yuan Families below were greatly boosted in morale, their cheers thunderous, while the people from the other great families felt as if they had fallen into an ice valley. If Family Head Zhao could have overpowered Mu Rui’an, they might still have had a chance to turn the tables, but now, even Family Head Zhao was no match for Mu Rui’an, where would they find the slightest opportunity?
"Family Head!" The housekeeper supported the tottering Zhao Yuanji, crying out in grief.
"I never expected the Mu Family’s cultivation technique to be so powerful!" Family Head Zhao gathered his energy, struggling to keep himself from falling, his eyes filled with a desolate expression. Although both were Fifth Rank Sword Masters, with the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Heart Technique, Mu Rui’an’s strength far surpassed that of his peers; he was utterly outmatched.
"Family Head, I will go and kill him!" The housekeeper wiped away his tears, his teeth clenched, as he lunged toward Mu Rui’an and the others.
His longsword left the scabbard, and with it, a commanding presence unfurled, the might of a Sword Master’s realm fully revealed.
However, after today’s battle with its many twists and turns, and the abundance of shocks, both the Zhao Family and the Mu Family had almost become numb.
As for his strength, people like Mu Ze didn’t even have the interest to take another look at him.
He was after all just a First-level Swordsman; had Mu Hanfeng not returned, he might have posed some threat. But Mu Hanfeng was also a First-level Swordsman, who moreover wielded the Chi Xiao Sword—how could he be compared to ordinary peers?
"I’ll deal with him, big brother you stay with father," Mu Hanfeng said coldly, glancing at Housekeeper Zhao, then speaking to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Rui’an’s injuries weren’t serious, but that victory strike had greatly depleted his Qi. There was no need for him to act against a mere First-level Swordsman.
"Hmm, be careful." For so many years, this was the first time Mu Hanyan heard the word "big brother" come out of Mu Hanfeng’s mouth—she felt a sense of consolation, watching Mu Hanfeng and nodding, although Mu Hanfeng would have preferred to call her "sister."
Being just a First-level Swordsman, for Mu Hanfeng, this was an excellent opportunity to hone his sword technique and make a name for himself—Mu Hanyan had no desire to steal his thunder.
"With big brother’s Divine Sword in hand, what’s there to worry about?" Mu Hanfeng laughed heartily, speaking with boundless enthusiasm.
He might seem a bit cocky, but that was just how someone of his age should be.
Mu Hanyan smiled slightly. Over these years, due to his "playboy nature," his family was shamed by association. To redeem some reputation for his parents, Mu Hanfeng always maintained a mature and responsible demeanor, never stepping out of line. Though he wasn’t old, he had emulated eighty percent of Mu Rui’an’s composure and coldness—far from displaying the carefree recklessness that a young man ought to have.
Now, he was finally showing his true self.
In the midst of laughter, Mu Hanfeng had already engaged Housekeeper Zhao in fierce combat.
Although Housekeeper Zhao was several times older than Mu Hanfeng and had a more solid foundation with enduring and powerful Qi, Mu Hanfeng was full of youthful vigor and eagerness for battle. Armed with the Chi Xiao Sword, he turned into a dragon amid the winds and clouds, firmly gaining the upper hand.
"Could it be that there is really no turning back?" Seeing this scene, not just his subordinates, but even Zhao Yuanji himself showed a look of despair in his eyes.
"Family Head, I am late!" From a distance came the voice of Zhao Sinin, filled with anxiety.
In just a few breaths, Zhao Sinin and a middle-aged elder arrived at the scene.
"Who is Mu Hanyan, come out here, I will shatter you into pieces!" The elder bellowed furiously, showcasing the strength of a Sword Master without any reservation. The source of thɪs content is ????????????????????⁂????????????????⁂????????????
A Sword Master, yet another Sword Master!
Looking up at that dominant figure in mid-air, whether from the Mu Family side or the Zhao Family side, everyone was utterly astonished.
If you counted, this was the fifth Sword Master to appear today. Even in the Capital, aside from the top wealthy families like the Eight Great Families, ordinary small families couldn’t muster many Sword Masters. Yet today, just within the Mu and Zhao families, four Sword Masters had emerged, with the strongest, Mu Rui’an and Zhao Yuanji, even reaching the Fifth Rank of the Sword Master Realm.
And now, yet another one had unexpectedly shown up.
Was this really just a grudge between two families in the remote small town of Heishi City? To the uninformed, it would seem like a big fight between families from the Capital.
Hearing the man’s bellow, the people of the Zhao Family finally heaved a sigh of relief. This man was clearly here to seek revenge on Mu Hanyan; fortunately, he was an enemy not a friend.
But the people of the Mu Family felt their hearts sink slightly. Now, with Mu Rui’an yet to recover his Primordial Energy, and Mu Hanfeng, despite having the upper hand, unable to quickly kill the Zhao Family’s old housekeeper. So, who would contend against this Sword Master?
