Chapter 376: 376 No Retreat, Only Fight

"Could the Great Elder have intentionally set the Death Soldier on me to kill me?" Mu Hanyan no sooner thought this than she dismissed it. The reason was simple:

First, although the Great Elder harbored deep hatred for her father and had no affection for her, he would never entertain the idea of killing her. It was a significant virtue of the Mu Family—they might vie viciously for power, but their actions always remained grounded, prioritizing the family’s interests above all. This was also why she was reluctant to antagonize the Great Elder and others.

Second, the words spoken by this person when he appeared were unclear and incomprehensible, yet his expression seemed genuine, suggesting no connection to the Great Elder.

Third, she now was a true Great Swordsman, and most of the elders had similar strength, yet this person managed to repel her with a single sword strike. How could a Family Assassin possibly possess such power?

As the enemy’s sword came slashing down again, Mu Hanyan had no time to think and could only parry with her sword once more.

Three crisp metallic clangs resounded, making Mu Hanyan’s knees buckle from the massive force of the opponent’s sword, nearly making her kneel. Her chest heaved with tumultuous Qi, nearly spitting blood.

"Who exactly are you?" Mu Hanyan gripping her longsword, demanded.

"Die!" The person did not answer her question but grew angrier, his left hand suddenly casting several hand formations, while his right hand slashed down fiercely with the longsword.

"This sword move, why does it look so familiar!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed in surprise, finding the sword move in his hand eerily familiar. In a sudden realization, it struck her that this sword move was alarmingly similar to Yan Yuchu’s Heavenly Star Technique’s moves.

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Seven radiant points of light appeared above his head, converging like stars sprinkling down rays, enveloping him.

The longsword in his hand emitted a soul-stealing cold light, shaped like a flame carved from ice, chopping down directly at her head. The force contained within surpassed the realm of Swordsmen and reached the Sword Master Realm.

Though Mu Hanyan had ascended to a Great Swordsman, she was not confident she could withstand this stroke and had to hastily retreat.

However, after retreating only a step, she felt as if an invisible wall blocked her path, leaving her no further room to retreat.

Mu Hanyan, with no other choice, tightened her grip on the longsword once again.

Fighting head-on against such a master was not the wisest choice. Mu Hanyan inverted her longsword, subtly shifted her stance, then with a twist of her wrist, eerily stabbed the sword diagonally from her waist.

The Shadowless Sword Technique, once again in action.

Facing Mu Hanyan’s strange and deadly sword-thrust, the opponent was utterly unfazed, as if he hadn’t noticed at all, his own sword still chopping down with an unstoppable momentum.

"Comparing speed with me? Let’s see who is faster," said Mu Hanyan, her face cold. Though her strength was still inferior, she was absolutely confident in the speed of this strike.

The tip of her sword, cold as a star, flashed like a venomous snake’s tongue, stabbing into the vital part of the opponent’s Heart Meridian.

Mu Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whoever it was, with the Heart Meridian severed, all Qi would collapse, and no matter how high the strength, death was inevitable.

Wrong! Mu Hanyan’s expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Though the sword had stabbed into the opponent’s Heart Meridian, not a drop of blood oozed out. It felt as though she had stabbed into nothingness, meeting no resistance and passing directly through the body.

Such a result was impossible for any being of flesh and blood! In an instant, Mu Hanyan’s mind reeled in brief confusion.

And at that moment, the opponent’s sword reached her forehead.

Am I finished? Mu Hanyan’s thoughts sank.
