Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return
Chapter 1446: Reborn Like Nirvana
At this moment, within a radius of ten zhang from Mu Hanyan, there was no one left with the strength to stand up. Ye Lanfeng was also seriously injured, clearly incapable of saving her.
However, their worries were unnecessary; at this moment, Mu Hanyan did not need anyone to save her.
Gazing at the sword filled with auras of death and destruction, Mu Hanyan merely smiled slightly, then stood up, and the Cold Sky Sword slashed out once more.
The lunar eclipse had ended, and the bright moonlight once again enveloped the earth. The Moon-devouring Nether Prison of Xu Ming ceased to be effective, no longer able to suppress her. Her strength had once again risen to the Sword Saint Realm, and with Nirvana Rebirth, her Qi was more pure and concentrated than ever before. The power of this sword surpassed any she had unleashed before.
With a crisp sound, the serpent-shaped longsword in Xu Ming’s hand broke in two, and the formidable Sword Light continued its momentum, slashing heavily across his chest.
The crimson battle armor was cleaved in half, and Xu Ming retreated, howling loudly, blood spraying out. However, unlike humans or most Exotic Beasts, his blood was a bizarre dark red color.
"Roar..." A twisted light emerged from outside Xu Ming’s body, and he reverted to his Netherworld Beast form, howling madly at the sky.
The dark red blood of the Netherworld Beast scattered like fine raindrops onto the beast group.
"Roar..." All the Exotic Beasts cried out in unison, their eyes growing even more frenzied and bloodthirsty.
"Still not giving up?" Mu Hanyan frowned slightly.
Although she didn’t pay much regard to these Exotic Beasts, including Huayue and others, several hundred noble family’s sons had been injured under Xu Ming’s sword just now. If they fell into a chaotic battle again, they might meet a grim fate. Even with her strength, it was impossible to save so many people all at once.
"Heavenly Rain, Divine Healing Technique!" Ye Yanran had somehow already come to her side, suddenly stopping her chant, waving her arm gently. Centered around Mu Hanyan, a miraculous power surged forth, and golden raindrops fell onto the earth.
The hundreds of noble family’s sons lying on the ground in shock looked at Ye Yanran, the golden raindrops bringing a warm sensation as they landed on them, their injuries rapidly healing. Though it couldn’t immediately restore their combat power, they were able to move unhindered.
Aware of the critical situation, they did not hesitate and immediately retreated from the battlefield. As they withdrew, they looked at Ye Yanran gratefully, and one person was particularly ashamed.
This person was Mu Chengqi, who had previously complained bitterly about Mu Hanyan bringing Ye Yanran along. But now, without Ye Yanran’s presence, his injuries would have left him no escape from death. Thinking about the words he had spoken, Mu Chengqi was so ashamed he wished he could disappear.
In a flash of movement, Huayue and the others stood by Mu Hanyan’s side once again.
"You should leave first as well," Mu Hanyan said to them.
"I’m fully recovered," Huayue responded.
"Me too," Zirong added.
"So are we," said Jiang Yuzhe and Tang Bufan simultaneously.
Mu Hanyan looked at them in surprise. She knew Huayue and the others well, aware they were not the type to show off their strength unnecessarily. If they hadn’t fully recovered from their injuries, especially seeing her restored and more powerful than before, they wouldn’t pretend to be strong just to cause trouble for her.
She quickly checked Jiang Yuzhe’s pulse with her Divine Sense and found that his internal injuries had indeed fully healed, leaving no trace.
Even Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but glance at Ye Yanran in astonishment; although the previous injuries of Huayue and the others weren’t fatal, they weren’t light either. Even after taking a Dragon Blood Rejuvenation Pill like that Healing Holy Pill, it would take three to five hours to recover fully.
The innate divine ability that Ye Yanran comprehended was truly powerful!
"Don’t look at me like that. This isn’t really my power; it comes from you. I just learned how to use it while you don’t know it yourself," Ye Yanran said softly, feeling awkward under their gazes.
"My power?" Mu Hanyan felt a slight stirring in her heart, recalling the scenes that appeared in her mind earlier.
Mu Hanyan didn’t think further as the Exotic Beasts, once again maddened, roared and charged forward, and at the forefront was the re-transformed Xu Ming!
Clearly, it refused to accept such an outcome, its entire body engulfed in crimson flames, eyes filled with unwillingness. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Seeing the Netherworld Beast at the fore and those bloodthirsty Exotic Beasts behind, Nian An Yao and the others revealed looks of horror.
"Star Fall, Eight Desolates!" Mu Hanyan moved swiftly, positioning herself in front of them, as the sword imbued with the power of a Sword Saint slashed out once more.
In the distance, the Black-clothed Man sighed deeply, unwilling to watch any longer, turning to leave gracefully.
The supreme Sword power cleaved towards the earth, and Xu Ming, at its forefront, let out a tragic cry as it was struck by the sword, flying into the air, scattering a cloud of blood mist.
The beast horde behind it was also cleaved into a straight path, those Exotic Beasts beneath the sword transformed into nothingness.
Everyone, and all the Exotic Beasts, were stunned in that moment, and the entire canyon fell into dead silence.
"Boom" a loud noise came from the distance, it turned out that Xu Ming had crashed heavily into the city wall of Qingyang Pass, the wall, which had stood unbroken through battles, now had a large hole smashed into it.
"Netherworld Beast, it’s that Netherworld Beast!" came a cry with a sob from Qingyang Pass.
In truth, Xu Ming, having been struck twice by Mu Hanyan, was already severely wounded. If they all swarmed him, they might have slain him on the spot.
Sadly, the strength the Netherworld Beast demonstrated earlier had scared them senseless. Forget about Mo Yanhong, even Dan Tai Xuan dared not make a move.
It was this internal cowardice that caused them to miss the best opportunity and led to their impending doom.
"Roar!" From Qingyang Pass came Xu Ming’s roar again, crimson flames soaring into the sky, and the remaining Exotic Beasts suddenly turned, charging towards Qingyang Pass.
Though they had just fought fiercely with the human reinforcements led by Nian An Yao, many died under Mu Hanyan’s sword as well, the remaining Exotic Beasts still numbered over three thousand, and were quite powerful, with many comparable to Ninth Rank Sword Masters.
If Qingyang Pass had been intact and prepared, these thousands of Exotic Beasts might not have posed much threat. However, Dan Tai Xuan and the others were absorbed watching Mu Hanyan’s confrontation, with no preparations whatsoever. With the wall broken by Xu Ming, the noble family’s sons within were terrified beyond courage, incapable of organizing any effective resistance.
Fortunately, the hundred or so experts Dan Tai Xuan brought from the Holy Court were resolute, immediately blocking the gap. Unfortunately, with their strength alone, they couldn’t possibly withstand thousands of powerful, frenzied Exotic Beasts, not to mention the terrifying Netherworld Beast recovering behind them.
