Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1419: This Is Mu Hanyan!

Mu Hanyan and her four companions formed a resolute line, advancing directly toward the approaching Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants. Their pace was steady, unhurried, yet imbued with an unwavering determination, devoid of any hesitation or fear.

"Wha... what do they intend to do?" Mu Chengqi stammered, his voice laced with disbelief.

The onlookers around cast him looks of disdain. It was evident even to a fool that Mu Hanyan’s group planned to halt the charge of the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants. However, the formidable power and impenetrable defenses of these beasts were well-known. If not for their docile nature, they would rank perilously close to the Fierce Stone Demon among Exotic Beasts. Could these five truly stand against such a charge?

A deafening beast roar reverberated, causing the very city walls to tremble. The wind howled, whipping their long hair and lending a tragic, heroic aura to the silhouettes of Mu Hanyan and her companions.

Upon the city wall, the gathered citizens of Beiguan Town, the vigilant soldiers, and the young nobles from the Yan and He families watched in solemn reverence. A palpable sense of being choked, of stifled emotion, hung in the air.

Tears welled in the eyes of the City Lord, the military personnel, and the civilians. They understood, with crushing certainty, that even if the city were to fall, Mu Hanyan, as a leading figure among the noble offspring, would have had ample opportunity to escape. Yet, she chose not to. Instead, she led a handful of followers to confront the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants directly. It was an act clearly for their sake, and for the sake of the townspeople with their low cultivation.

"Mu Hanyan... Mu Hanyan..." The name echoed in every heart. "This is Mu Hanyan! This is truly Mu Hanyan!"

Mu Chengxuan and Yan Yuchu exchanged a meaningful glance, their hands instinctively gripping the hilts of their swords, ready to leap from the wall.

"Do not move. Simply observe," Mu Hanyan commanded, raising a hand. Her voice, though soft, carried an irrefutable authority.

Mu Chengxuan and the others paused, a flicker of surprise crossing their faces, but ultimately obeyed.

At that moment, the lead Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant, the most powerful among them, charged directly at Mu Hanyan.

Goaded by the audacity of these minuscule humans daring to obstruct its path, the already agitated Red Cloud Gold Armored Beast let out a furious roar. It raised a colossal stone with its trunk, flinging it with immense force towards Mu Hanyan.

The impact of this projectile was comparable to the full might of a Great Sword Master. The low, guttural roar accompanying the stone's flight caused the expressions of everyone on the city wall to shift dramatically.

"Nine Heavens, Star Fall!" Mu Hanyan’s expression remained tranquil, unperturbed.

Her Cold Sky Sword shimmered with chilling light, meeting the onrushing stone head-on. Without yielding or dodging, she unleashed a slash imbued with the power of a Great Sword Master.

"Boom!" A thunderous collision echoed, and fragments of stone exploded outwards.

The massive stone was pulverized into dust by Mu Hanyan’s solitary strike. The residual energy within the Sword Light even propelled the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant backward several paces.

On the city wall, gazes widened in astonishment. While the residents of Beiguan Town were unaware of Mu Hanyan’s true strength, they had surmised she was above a Sword Master, likely a Fourth or Fifth Rank given her youth. However, the young nobles from the Capital, privy to her abilities before her departure, knew she was a Sixth-level Sword Master.

Who could have fathomed that, during her journey to Shangyue Country, her cultivation would surge from Sixth-level Sword Master to the formidable Tenth Rank—the Great Sword Master Realm!

"Thunder Sound, Sky Swinging!" A resonant hum accompanied another strike, causing a second Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant to recoil.

Huayue, a figure of imposing stature, remained steadfastly by Mu Hanyan's side, a silent guardian.

"Demon Sword, Heart Kill!" A spectral blur manifested, a peculiar longsword in hand forcing yet another Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant into a continuous retreat. Though it incessantly swung massive stones with its proboscis, each projectile narrowly missed, posing no actual threat.

The wielder of this 'Demon Sword,' capable of discerning all mysteries, was none other than Zirong.

"Clone, Illusion Destruction!" Three identical figures ascended, unleashing powerful slashes upon the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant below. Despite the beasts' top-tier defense and raw power among Exotic Beasts, they possessed no counter to such an innate, gifted ability. The Sword Light, infused with the potent Qi of a Ninth Rank Sword Master, struck unimpeded. With a pained roar, this Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant was also forced to retreat.

"Fury, Devil Slash!" Tang Bufan’s garments billowed, his long hair whipping wildly as he unleashed a flurry of frenzied sword strikes. Abandoning all pretense of technique, casting aside all reservations, he fought with selfless abandon.

Exotic Beasts, possessing an intelligence that rivaled humans, found themselves with no recourse but to meet the onslaught head-on. The Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant confronting Tang Bufan could only return force with force.

Impacts like a barrage of raindrops echoed as Tang Bufan unleashed over a dozen strikes in mere moments. His expression paled slightly, a faint trace of blood appearing at the corner of his lips. Yet, the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant before him was forced to retreat repeatedly, its eyes betraying a clear sense of fear.

A collective gasp swept through the onlookers. Mu Hanyan not only demonstrated the prowess of a Great Sword Master, but her companions also achieved the Ninth or Eighth Rank Sword Master. Observing their movements, it was evident that their actual combat power far exceeded their Cultivation Realm.

Finally, a voice broke the silence, and a thunderous cheer erupted from the city walls.

While the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants boasted strength and defense comparable to Fierce Stone Demons, their docile nature rendered them significantly weaker in combat skills. They relied solely on their innate divine strength and impenetrable defense, demonstrating no mastery in their application. Their trunk-armored attacks were clumsy, and they awkwardly lifted their massive, pillar-like legs to stomp the ground.

Such assaults posed no real threat to Huayue and the others, whose sword techniques were refined and movements agile. Furthermore, bolstered by the might of a Ninth Rank Sword Master and their innate divine abilities, the absolute power they wielded was not far behind that of the elephants.

Under the relentless onslaught, the Red Cloud Gold Armored Beasts were driven back continuously, their previous ferocity replaced by growing apprehension.

Within the hierarchy of Exotic Beasts, the order and deference were even more stringent and unyielding than among humans. With the Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants faltering at the vanguard, the swarms of lesser Exotic Beasts trailing behind dared not advance. As the elephants retreated, fear clouded their eyes as well.

"In the name of Aolai, I command all beasts under heaven: prosper those who follow me, perish those who oppose me!" Mu Hanyan seized the opportune moment to recite the Divine Beast Contract.

Instantly, the night sky churned with tempestuous winds and swirling clouds. An area spanning several miles was enveloped by an ancient, desolate, yet magnificently vast Heavenly Might emanating from the Divine Beast Contract.

All the Exotic Beasts quaked violently, scarcely daring to raise their heads.

"In the name of Aolai, I command all beasts under heaven: prosper those who follow me, perish those who oppose me! In the name of..." Mu Hanyan continued to chant the Divine Beast Contract.

Back in Fang Town, even the fiercely aggressive Iron-Backed Saber-Toothed Tiger and the notorious Earthly Ferocious Bear succumbed to this overwhelming Divine Beast Heavenly Might, let alone the inherently placid Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephants.
