Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: Striking in Anger

”Han Yan, not only have you shown me disrespect, but you also dare to maliciously defame my name. I, Tian Wenliang, will not forgive you. Even if it has to be brought to Lord Gong, I will seek justice.” Tian Wenliang’s guilty conscience made him defensive, and Han Yan’s angry accusations only added to his unease, yet he stubbornly refused to admit it, speaking with a façade of confidence.

”You won’t have that chance, because I will first bring justice for Yu Zhe.” Han Yan said coldly, raising the Cold Sky Sword once more.

”Han Yan, don’t think that I, Tian Wenliang, am truly afraid of you. Were it not for considering my status and fearing for your life, do you think you would have survived that sword strike just now?” Even as a Dragon Rock Master, to be so underestimated and humiliated by a junior disciple was infuriating for Tian Wenliang, who roared angrily.

Han Yan no longer wasted words with him, striking again with her sword.

She had made up her mind; even if she could not kill Tian Wenliang today, she would at least severely injure him, destroy his lifelong cultivation, and make him wish he were dead. Only this way could she seek justice for Jiang Yuzhe and quell the hatred and anger in her heart!

”Han Yan, since you are intent on seeking death, don’t blame me. Eight Desolate Sword Formation, annihilate!” Tian Wenliang shouted loudly, his longsword vibrating and transforming into a myriad of array runes, which combined with the icy cold sword light, swept towards Han Yan.

”The Eight Desolate Sword Formation, it’s the strongest sword technique of the Array Dao Hall, the Eight Desolate Sword Formation!”

”Han Yan has kicked an iron plate. Who would have thought that Lord Tian had actually learned the Eight Desolate Sword Formation.” The surrounding disciples exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, Tan Yu and the Yu Shulin Feng brothers turned pale. The Array Dao Hall, unlike the Sword Casting Hall, not only delved deeply into the path of formations but also had extraordinary achievements in Sword Dao. Numerous Qimen sword techniques were developed by array masters throughout generations, among which the strongest was the Eight Desolate Sword Formation.

It is said that the Eight Desolate Sword Formation was deduced during the attempts of successive array masters to repair the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array. Though called a sword formation, it was actually wielded by a single person, with incomparable power. Defeating two or even three tiers higher opponents wasn’t difficult; with mastery, it could even contend against mighty experts of the Sword Saint Realm with Great Sword Master cultivation.

Although Han Yan’s strength had reached the Fifth Rank Sword Master, no weaker than Tian Wenliang, no one expected that Tian Wenliang had mastered the Eight Desolate Sword Formation. Even if her strength surpassed his by one or two levels, she might find it hard to be his opponent.

Han Yan openly challenged her mentor as a disciple, already putting herself in the wrong. Now, even if she were seriously injured or killed by Tian Wenliang, there would be no reason for her. Even Gong Hongru might have to let it go.

”Master, be careful, this swordsmanship contains the path of formation, and its power is terrifyingly strong.” Tan Yu called out loudly, unable to withhold his growing worry.

The surrounding disciples sighed silently; even without his reminder, Han Yan should see how formidable the power of the Eight Desolate Sword Formation was. But what could caution do? This swordsmanship contained both the might of Sword Dao and the wonder of formations and was the most powerful in the Array Dao Hall. Ordinary sword techniques couldn’t compare to it. Even with caution, unless she found a way to break it, with her current strength, she risked great injury or worse. But in such a rush, how could she possibly find a solution!

Looking at Han Yan, some felt sympathetic. Surely, she hadn’t expected that Tian Wenliang had mastered the Eight Desolate Sword Formation. The outcome of this battle seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

Engrossed in sympathy, no one noticed the glimmer of excitement in Han Yan’s eyes.

Initially, Han Yan was taken aback when she saw Tian Wenliang’s Eight Desolate Sword Formation, not expecting the Array Dao Hall to not only possess an array art but such a powerful swordsmanship.

Yet as Han Yan scrutinized his swordsmanship, she almost burst out laughing in delight.

If Tian Wenliang had used other sword techniques from the Array Dao Hall, even the weakest combined with the art of formations, with Han Yan’s current array skill, it would have been difficult to find a breaking method, and she might have been trapped. But as it happened, he chose the Eight Desolate Sword Formation, hailed as the strongest swordsmanship of the Array Dao Hall.

The source of this Eight Desolate Sword Formation was precisely the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array.

Jiang Yuzhe and Han Yan, previously caught in the Small Heavenly Net Formation, had already experienced the momentum of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array. Among the countless array sword lights, the mysteries of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array were included. Although Han Yan had not fully comprehended the profound meaning of the formation, she was far from unfamiliar with the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array.

The Eight Desolate Sword Formation Tian Wenliang used was powerful, but could it be stronger than the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array? Since Han Yan could find the weak points in the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array to break free, how could she not identify the weak points in his swordsmanship?

Lines of array runes had already enveloped Han Yan, and the mighty sword power and the profound, infinite formation mysteries sparked fear in everyone. Tan Yu and Yu Shulin Feng brothers were scared pale, even Huayue and others’ expressions became grave.

Although they trusted Han Yan immensely, they could see that the power of Tian Wenliang’s Eight Desolate Sword Formation, which integrated the profound meaning of formation, far exceeded Han Yan’s current capability. Even if her strength surpassed by a tier or two, she might not be Tian Wenliang’s match.

”Nine Heavens, Star Fall!” Just when nearly everyone worried or pitied Han Yan, the Cold Sky Sword struck again.

Sword light soared skyward, like a meteor passing across!

With a muffled boom, Tian Wenliang and his sword were sent flying, crashing heavily three zhang away. Everyone gaped, unable to believe what they had just witnessed with Han Yan.

Tian Wenliang was defeated. The Eight Desolate Sword Formation, proclaimed as the strongest swordsmanship of the Array Dao Hall, was effortlessly dismantled by Han Yan with a single strike.

Not only were they shocked, even Huayue and Zirong were taken aback. Despite witnessing many miracles with Han Yan before, at this moment they realized they had still underestimated her.

”Impossible, impossible, how could you break my Eight Desolate Sword Formation!” Tian Wenliang coughed up a mouthful of blood, staring at Han Yan with shock and uncertainty.

He had spent much of his life mastering this sword, and even an ordinary Sword Saint would find it hard to break it without overpowering strength. Yet, Han Yan accomplished it so easily.

”The previous strike was to punish you for not respecting your mentor. This strike is to bring justice for Yu Zhe.” Han Yan said, without paying him any heed, raising the Cold Sky Sword once more.

”Buzz!” Amidst a dragon’s roar, the longsword struck down again.

”Han Yan, don’t push people too far.” Tian Wenliang shouted, suppressing his tumbling blood, once again using the Eight Desolate Sword Formation.
