Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1544: Are All the Descendants of Divine Guardian Crippled?

Even for masters at the Sword Saint Realm, they are so insignificant before this Heavenly Thunder. Not to mention Mu Hanyan, who isn’t a true Sword Saint but has forcefully elevated her strength to the Sword Saint Realm.As the terrifying lightning swiftly descended, Mu Hanyan, holding the Cold Sky Sword, resolutely flew towards the lightning. Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, their mental state entirely focused on her.

"Star Fall, Eight Desolates!" Mu Hanyan unleashed a sword strike.

A burst of colorful light suddenly bloomed, the dazzling Glazed Glass Holy Robe appeared on her once again, the golden cloak fluttered in the wind, mystical and heavy halos radiated from the shield on her right hand, and the Star Moon Battle Crown on her head was brilliantly shining.

At this moment, Mu Hanyan seemed like a descended War God.

The towering Sword Light tore through the air, and Mu Hanyan clearly felt, just like when facing Wei Xiao Tian last time, the strength of all the Descendants of the Divine Guardian gathered on her. What surprised her the most was that, apart from the powers of Huayue and Zhuang Ping’an, even the strength of the Little Auspicious Beast and Jue Dang were united through the Life Contract Chain into her sword strike.

Fortunately, the Cold Sky Sword had been upgraded to a Divine Artifact after being tempered in the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pond, otherwise it wouldn’t have been able to withstand such vast power. Of course, the power of this sword strike was naturally increased tenfold or a hundredfold.

"Boom!" In mid-air, countless blue electric lights and sword light star points explosively scattered, as if a massive hole was blasted open in the endless heavens.

Then, there was a deathly silence; that lightning containing endless heavenly might vanished without a trace.

Everyone’s minds were utterly blank, as if the entire space-time had frozen.

Previously, no one dared to imagine Mu Hanyan could resist the might of the Heavenly Thunder. In their view, if she could hold it off momentarily and buy a little more time for the Kirin Young Master, it would be the best outcome. Unexpectedly, she slashed the Heavenly Thunder with one sword strike, even the Heaven and Earth Power amassed prior was scattered by that strike.

How terrifying was the potency contained in that sword?

"Puff!" Amidst the crowd’s astonishment, Mu Hanyan suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood mist and floated down like a kite with a broken string.

"Han Yan!" Huayue and others exclaimed, simultaneously stepping forward, but immediately their legs gave way, and they fell to the ground.

Only now did they realize that all their Qi was drained completely, not leaving a single trace, like dry parched ground.

No wonder Mu Hanyan’s sword was so terrifyingly powerful. Last time, in the battle with Wei Xiao Tian, only Zhuang Ping’an’s power was drained completely by her, and they were not too affected. This time, even they were utterly exhausted.

Since even they were like this, Zhuang Ping’an and others naturally couldn’t hold up. After the initial shock passed, everyone simultaneously collapsed to the ground, their bodies limp and unable to muster any strength.

Fortunately, Jue Dang’s cultivation was profound, and he had a Divine Beast physique nearly close to a Qilin. Although most of his power was drawn by Mu Hanyan due to the Life Contract, he still had some residual strength, stepping forward a few steps to catch Mu Hanyan as she drifted down.

"Thank you, senior," Mu Hanyan said.

"Master, please don’t say that. If it weren’t for your desperate help, the Young Master would surely have died. It is us who should be thanking you," Old Qilin was moved to tears.

Speaking of which, he had been somewhat dissatisfied with the Kirin Young Master becoming Mu Hanyan’s Sword Pet. In his view, Mu Hanyan’s current strength was still too weak, not even qualified.

But since his form was Qilin Bull, a relatively weak existence even among Exotic Beasts, even with the Qilin bloodline obtained from over ten meridian clearing and marrow washing sessions, he felt inferior and did not dare to question the Kirin Young Master’s decision, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and called Mu Hanyan master.

Only now, seeing Mu Hanyan desperately saving their Young Master, did he realize how correct the Young Master’s choice was. If it weren’t for her intervention, if Zhuang Ping’an and others hadn’t performed the Blood Sacrifice Technique due to her, even if he risked his old life, the Young Master would have surely died. In his gratitude, he was even more thankful to Mu Hanyan.

"Your Young Master and I are bound by life, this is my duty, senior need not be concerned. By the way, how is Liu Guang?" Mu Hanyan said, glancing at the Little Auspicious Beast.

The Little Auspicious Beast’s eyes lacked any trace of pain, the wounds on its body healed rapidly visible to the naked eye, its entire body gleaming with colorful lights, as if walking amidst the clouds.

Evidently, after she slashed the Heavenly Thunder, dispersing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Power, the Little Auspicious Beast was free of threats and could fully refine the Qilin Core.

Seeing the Little Auspicious Beast safe, Mu Hanyan was finally relieved.

"By the way, Master, are you alright?" Jue Dang asked worriedly, taking out an elixir as he spoke.

Mu Hanyan’s sword strike was too powerful, logically far exceeding her cultivation limits, and she clearly suffered internal injuries; he feared potential hidden dangers.

"Don’t worry, senior, it’s not a big deal," Mu Hanyan smiled.

With Ye Yanran, a human-shaped life-saving elixir, she had no need for elixirs. Moreover, although Old Qilin could barely count as a Divine Beast, when it comes to Alchemy Skills, even Divine Beasts cannot compare to humans. The quality of the elixir in his hand seemed ordinary, seeing his cautious attitude yet cherishing it, Mu Hanyan opted not to waste it.

However, Mu Hanyan was not blindly arrogant. While smiling, she concentrated her inner vision for a check-up.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan’s brow furrowed. Although her injuries from the sword strike weren’t severe, quickly healed by Ye Yanran’s Heavenly Rain Divine Healing Technique, strangely, her meridians were somewhat sluggish and hindered, and her Qi recovery was slower than before.

Why is this, is it due to the massive depletion of Qi and vitality? Mu Hanyan pondered over it repeatedly, checked several times, and finding no abnormalities in her Heart Meridian, she finally relaxed.

"How can this be, no, impossible!" At this moment, Zhuang Ping’an’s voice of surprise suddenly echoed.

"What, what’s happening?" Sang Qinghe and others also exclaimed.

As soon as the voices fell, everyone fainted consecutively to the ground.

Mu Hanyan felt a sudden sense of foreboding, she dashed in swift steps and grabbed Zhuang Ping’an’s pulse.

Using Divine Sense to investigate, she found Zhuang Ping’an’s body drained of Qi, like a completely dried up old well, with no spring water flowing.

This situation was identical to Tang Bufan’s injuries after the Sword Sound Academy competition. According to Doctor Sun’s diagnosis, it was due to severe depletion post-battle, resulting in the destruction of cultivation potential.

Mu Hanyan was greatly shocked and hurriedly checked Sang Qinghe and others’ injuries; they were all identical.
