Chapter 644: Live again at 644, it was not in vain
Seeing Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun, among others, still lying on the ground, Mu Hanyan didn’t hesitate further, stepping forward to help them up and taking out elixirs for them to consume.
"Brother Han Yan, you must hurry and leave. We can hold them back for you a little longer," Mu Cheng said anxiously after consuming the elixir, having regained some strength.
"Right, you go first. No matter what, I am the Young Master of the Wu Family. They wouldn’t dare do anything serious to me," Wu Qiuyun immediately added.
They had also noticed that the force behind Mu Hanyan’s palm strike just now wasn’t very powerful, much weaker than usual. They thought he hadn’t lost control, but that he had failed to advance, leading to a decline in strength.
Originally, with the strength of a Great Swordsman, Mu Hanyan could barely contend with Dai Songling. But now, with diminished strength, it was absolutely impossible for her to be his match. They had paid such a high price to drag things out until now, naturally, they couldn’t bear to see Mu Hanyan run into any mishaps.
"How could I possibly abandon you all after you’ve sacrificed so much for me?" Mu Hanyan said with a knowing smile, then added calmly, "You don’t need to worry about me, I am fine. The suffering you endured earlier, I will make them repay it tenfold, a hundredfold."
When she spoke these words, Mu Hanyan’s gaze became colder than it had ever been before.
Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun felt a jolt in their hearts, a newfound reverence taking root. They wanted to persuade her further, but found themselves unable to utter another word.
Having taken the elixirs, the injuries of Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun were temporarily of no serious concern.
Mu Hanyan activated her Cultivation Technique, allowing the more abundant and more solid Qi to circulate through the meridians in her body, so as to adapt to her current strength as swiftly as possible. At the same time, she coldly looked toward Mo Yanhong and the others.
Everything that had happened just now had reached her ears. However, she had been fully focused on breaking through the Hidden Meridian at the time and couldn’t spare a thought for anything else. Now, having gathered her Mental State, everything that had transpired replayed before her eyes.
Although she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Mu Hanyan could imagine the gruesome scene of Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun risking their lives in a blood battle against the guard of the Mo Family, and could picture the tragic determination of a seriously wounded Mu Cheng still refusing to bow his head and even ready to die as he challenged Mo Yanhong.
Her eyes became slightly moist.
Having been reborn, she hadn’t lived in vain!
Immediately afterward, a raging fury ignited in her heart. The scenes of her parents and relatives from her past life, along with the Mu Family’s Disciples dying tragically for her, seemed to reappear before her eyes. Endless anger and hatred rose from the depths of her heart.
Being gazed at with such eyes, Mo Yanhong couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine, shrinking back two steps.
Although Mu Hanyan’s previous palm strike hadn’t injured him, he was well aware of his own level of strength. He also knew that if it hadn’t been for Dai Songling pulling him to safety, he would likely have been seriously injured by that strike. Therefore, he still harbored some fear of Mu Hanyan.
"Young Master, don’t fear her. With me here, she won’t be able to harm so much as a hair on your head," Dai Songling stepped forward, shielding Mo Yanhong behind him.
Dai Songling had only realized that the palm strike unleashed by Mu Hanyan earlier was actually very weak when he observed the odd looks in the eyes of the guards. Not even to mention himself, these guards could have blocked it had they taken action.
However, he had been frightened by the Heaven and Earth Power Mu Hanyan had harnessed earlier and thought she had ascended to the Sword Master Realm. He didn’t dare gamble with Mo Yanhong’s life and hurriedly retreated in panic. Due to his own Qi flowing in reverse, he stumbled and tumbled as he fled, finally crawling out in an undignified escape.
