Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1446: Reborn Like Nirvana

Within a ten-zhang radius of Mu Hanyan, no one remained standing. Ye Lanfeng, gravely wounded, was in no condition to offer aid. Nevertheless, their concerns were unfounded; Mu Hanyan required no rescue at this moment.

With a faint smile, Mu Hanyan faced the sword radiating death and destruction. She rose, and the Cold Sky Sword once again descended. The lunar eclipse had passed, and moonlight bathed the land. Xu Ming’s Moon-devouring Nether Prison lost its efficacy, unable to suppress her any longer. Her power surged back to the Sword Saint Realm, and through Nirvana Rebirth, her Qi became purer and more potent than ever. This strike's might dwarfed all previous ones.

A sharp crack echoed as Xu Ming's serpent-shaped longsword snapped in two. The potent Sword Light continued its trajectory, cleaving deeply into his chest. The crimson battle armor split apart, and Xu Ming staggered back, his roars accompanied by a spray of dark red blood, peculiar to his Netherworld Beast nature.

"Roar..." A distorted light emanated from Xu Ming, and he transformed back into his Netherworld Beast form, bellowing at the sky. His dark red blood rained down upon the surrounding beast horde.

"Roar..." The Exotic Beasts cried out in unison, their eyes burning with increased frenzy and bloodlust.

"Still not quitting?" Mu Hanyan's brow furrowed slightly. While she paid little heed to the Exotic Beasts, she noted that hundreds of noble family scions had been injured by Xu Ming's sword. If another chaotic battle ensued, they faced a grim fate, beyond her ability to save them all simultaneously, even with her current strength.

"Heavenly Rain, Divine Healing Technique!" Ye Yanran appeared by Mu Hanyan's side, her incantation halted as she gently waved her arm. A miraculous energy radiated outward from Mu Hanyan, manifesting as golden raindrops falling upon the earth.

The hundreds of shocked noble family sons lying on the ground looked towards Ye Yanran. The golden raindrops brought a soothing warmth, and their wounds rapidly mended. While not instantly restoring their combat prowess, they regained their mobility. Recognizing the dire situation, they swiftly retreated from the battlefield, casting grateful glances at Ye Yanran. One individual, in particular, felt profound shame.

This was Mu Chengqi, who had previously lamented Mu Hanyan’s decision to bring Ye Yanran along. Now, he realized that without Ye Yanran, his injuries would have sealed his doom. Recalling his own words, Mu Chengqi wished he could vanish into thin air.

In a blur of motion, Huayue and the others rejoined Mu Hanyan's side.

"You should retreat as well," Mu Hanyan urged them.

"I've fully recovered," Huayue stated.

"Me too," added Zirong.

"So have we," Jiang Yuzhe and Tang Bufan declared in unison.

Mu Hanyan regarded them with surprise. She knew Huayue and the others well; they were not ones to feign strength needlessly. Had they not genuinely recovered, especially witnessing her restored and amplified power, they would not have claimed such without cause.

Swiftly using her Divine Sense to check Jiang Yuzhe’s pulse, she confirmed his internal injuries were completely healed, leaving no residual damage. Even Mu Hanyan couldn't help but stare at Ye Yanran in astonishment. The previous injuries sustained by Huayue and the others, while not fatal, were severe. Even with potent recovery elixirs like the Dragon Blood Rejuvenation Pill or a Healing Holy Pill, full recuperation would typically take three to five hours.

Ye Yanran's innate divine ability was truly astonishing! The previous injuries sustained by Huayue and the others, while not fatal, were severe. Even with potent recovery elixirs like the Dragon Blood Rejuvenation Pill or a Healing Holy Pill, full recuperation would typically take three to five hours.

"Don't look at me like that. This isn't truly my power; it originates from you. I merely learned how to access it, though you yourself are unaware of it," Ye Yanran replied softly, feeling somewhat awkward under their gazes.

"My power?" Mu Hanyan felt a tremor within her, recalling the fleeting visions that had appeared in her mind earlier.

Before Mu Hanyan could ponder further, the enraged Exotic Beasts let out renewed roars and charged forward, led by the newly transformed Xu Ming! It was clear the beast refused to accept defeat, its body ablaze with crimson flames and its eyes filled with defiant unwillingness.

Observing the Netherworld Beast leading the charge, followed by the bloodthirsty horde, Nian An Yao and the others exhibited looks of pure horror.

With a swift maneuver, Mu Hanyan uttered, "Star Fall, Eight Desolates!" She positioned herself resolutely before them, unleashing another devastating sword strike imbued with the might of a Sword Saint.

From a distance, a figure clad in black let out a weary sigh. Unwilling to witness further, he turned and departed with practiced grace.

The peerless sword energy descended, striking the earth. Xu Ming, caught at the epicenter, shrieked in agony as the blow sent him hurtling skyward, engulfed in a crimson mist of blood.

The horde of beasts behind him was also bisected by the devastating slash. Those Exotic Beasts unfortunate enough to be in the sword's path were utterly obliterated, vanishing without a trace.

A moment of stunned silence fell upon everyone present, including the Exotic Beasts. The entire canyon was plunged into an eerie quiet.

A thunderous crash echoed from afar. It was Xu Ming, who had slammed violently into the city wall of Qingyang Pass, breaching the formidable barrier that had withstood countless assaults, leaving a gaping maw in its wake.

A choked sob erupted from within Qingyang Pass. "Netherworld Beast! It's that Netherworld Beast!"

In reality, Xu Ming, having endured two brutal strikes from Mu Hanyan, lay grievously wounded. Had they all united their forces, they might have vanquished him on the spot.

Alas, the sheer terror inspired by the Netherworld Beast's earlier display had paralyzed them. From Mo Yanhong to Dan Tai Xuan, none dared to act.

This crippling fear had cost them their most opportune moment, sealing their impending fate.

A guttural roar split the air once more, emanating from Qingyang Pass. Crimson flames erupted skyward as Xu Ming unleashed his fury. The remaining Exotic Beasts abruptly turned, their sights now set on Qingyang Pass, charging with renewed ferocity.

Although they had just engaged in a brutal conflict with the human reinforcements led by Nian An Yao, and many had fallen to Mu Hanyan's blade, the remaining Exotic Beasts still numbered over three thousand. These creatures were formidable, with many possessing strength comparable to Ninth Rank Sword Masters.

Had Qingyang Pass remained intact and its defenders prepared, these thousands of Exotic Beasts might have posed little threat. However, Dan Tai Xuan and his companions had been captivated by Mu Hanyan's battle, leaving them utterly unprepared. With the city wall shattered by Xu Ming's impact, the scions of noble families within were overcome by terror, their courage evaporated, rendering them incapable of mounting any effective defense.

Fortunately, the hundred or so formidable experts Dan Tai Xuan had brought from the Holy Court stood firm, immediately moving to block the breach. Yet, with their strength alone, they stood no chance against the onslaught of thousands of rampaging Exotic Beasts, let alone the re-emerging, terrifying Netherworld Beast.
