Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: A Surge of Unfathomable Emotion

Just as Bo Xuanji was in a daze, Wei Xiaotian had already tightly grasped his sword edge with both hands.

”Mu Hanyan, destroy that sword soul, quickly, destroy that sword soul!” Wei Xiaotian’s eyes widened in fury, his face twisted from pain, yet he turned towards Mu Hanyan and shouted loudly.

Mu Hanyan looked at Wei Xiaotian in surprise, never having expected him to say such words.

”For the Holy Court, for the Holy Court Continent, we absolutely cannot let this sword soul fall into the hands of the temple, even if it means destroying it.” Wei Xiaotian shouted sharply again.

In that instant, Mu Hanyan felt inexplicably moved. Although Wei Xiaotian would use any means to achieve his goals, and indeed was somewhat despicable, his loyalty to the Holy Court was no less than the generations of loyalty Bo Xuanji’s family had to the temple. Just for this point alone, he was still worthy of admiration.

”Seeking death!” Bo Xuanji cursed furiously, trying hard to draw out the longsword, but the sword was tightly gripped by Wei Xiaotian, as if embedded in his body, and he couldn’t pull it out no matter what.

Threads of Holy Saint Gang Qi poured into Wei Xiaotian’s body, his whole physique trembling violently like being struck by lightning, coughing up large clots of blood, clearly his internal organs were shattered.

”Move, move!” But he did not let go, still gripping the sword edge tightly.

Seeing Wei Xiaotian’s twisted and determined face, a feeling of tragic heroism arose in Mu Hanyan’s heart.

Because the incident happened suddenly and was too unexpected, Bo Xuanji was shocked and forgotten to let go, instinctively trying hard to pull out the longsword, resulting in both being stuck in a stalemate.

Mu Hanyan could no longer wait, suddenly drawing the Cold Sky Sword, slashing fiercely towards Bo Xuanji.

”What are you... what are you doing? I told you to destroy that sword soul!” Wei Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Hanyan ignored him, her sword directly targeting the vital heart meridian of Bo Xuanji. What a joke, although the sword soul contained immense power, the exterior flame was extremely fragile, easy to destroy, but she still hoped to rely on this sword soul to restore Yue Fanchen’s foundation, how could she destroy it lightly.

She would never do this except at the last resort.

When Bo Xuanji and Gai Huangji arrived, they witnessed Ao Fangchen vomiting blood and struggling to get up from the ground, they did not see Mu Hanyan take action, but just being able to seriously injure Ao Fangchen, there’s no doubt her strength wasn’t weak.

As he watched her stabbing forward, Bo Xuanji felt extreme fear, subconsciously trying again to pull out the longsword with force, but the sword was fiercely held by Wei Xiaotian, still unable to pull out.

It wasn’t until Mu Hanyan’s sword was about to strike the heart meridian that he suddenly reacted, letting go and retreating backwards.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Although Bo Xuanji turned slightly at the last moment, missing the heart meridian vital point, the sharp sword tip still pierced his body.

”Ah!” Bo Xuanji roared in pain, clapping both palms towards Mu Hanyan.

The palm strike was so bizarre and unpredictable, its power far exceeded his own strength.

More importantly, Mu Hanyan felt a sense of danger from it, and more strangely, there was a faint sense of familiarity in this aura.

Her Six Senses were far sharper than ordinary people, so she never doubted her intuition. Originally intending to slay Bo Xuanji with one sword, she immediately changed her mind, flying backwards with her sword.

”Boom!” Mu Hanyan had just avoided it, Bo Xuanji’s palms struck the nearby stone platform.

The stone platform that had retained some of its original shape even after millions of years was suddenly shattered, leaving a half-meter gap where several ancient trees nearby withered instantly, turning to ash and blowing away with the wind.

Still, that sword from Mu Hanyan, though not fatal, had powerfully shattered Bo Xuanji’s internal organs and meridians under surprise attack. After all, his strength was merely at the Sword Saint threshold, let alone comparing to Ye Lanfeng, even compared to Wei Xiaotian, a Saint, he had quite a gap.

In fury he released two devastating palm strikes, yet he himself was severely injured, collapsing weakly on the ground.

”So it was you, the one who injured my grandmother was you!” Mu Hanyan shouted in anger through gritted teeth.

Only now she recalled where the familiar feeling came from; it was during the time she was treating her grandmother’s wounds that she sensed the same aura.

No wonder her grandmother suspected the attacker was a Holy Court member; this palm contained both the grand atmosphere of Holy Court Cultivation Techniques and the strange unpredictability of temple techniques. Were it not for experiencing similar aura before and being alert, she might have died from this palm.

Her grandmother being caught off guard and injured by him was understandable.

Burning with rage, Mu Hanyan attacked Bo Xuanji once again.

”Boom!” Just then, a loud bang resounded, the entire ground suddenly shook violently.

Ao Fangchen let out a tragic scream, flying heavily, his blood staining his clothes and the white mustache on his chest.

Although both he and Gai Huangji had sacrificed their lifespan to forcibly enhance their strength, Ao Fangchen had suffered injuries earlier, ultimately unable to withstand the Lifeless Prison of Gai Huangji.

”I underestimated you before, didn’t expect you to recover your strength so quickly.” In a flash, Gai Huangji had already blocked Mu Hanyan’s front.

It turns out, he had seen through Mu Hanyan’s absence of Qi after her battle with Ao Fangchen, so did not regard her.

Mu Hanyan wasn’t surprised, temple and Holy Court were indeed different, him having such Eye Power was no surprise.

In retrospect, it’s fortunate they had such Eye Power, otherwise Bo Xuanji wouldn’t be careless of her, allowing her a surprise attack... not exactly a sneak attack, it was simply because Bo Xuanji hadn’t anticipated her quick recovery, thus was entirely unprepared.

Quietly gazing at Gai Huangji, Mu Hanyan remained speechless, while restoring her Qi through Energy Movement, desperately gathering her Divine Sense.

Her Qi had restored to eighty percent, which was why she could heavily wound Bo Xuanji with one sword, but relying on such strength still wasn’t enough to deal with Gai Huangji.

Despite his similarly aged and weary appearance at this moment, Gai Huangji’s strength was still far beyond Mu Hanyan’s.

Mu Hanyan’s only hope was the sword soul, but when she injured Bo Xuanji, the sword soul showed no reaction, and Mu Hanyan couldn’t find that sense of bloodline connection and familiarity again.

Could it be that only by reentering the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart could she harness the power of this sword soul?

This hope was too slim, yet it was Mu Hanyan’s only hope. She could only desperately gather her Divine Sense, attempting to once again enter the wondrous realm of the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart.
