Chapter 1902: Mu Hanyan Is Their Guardian God

Just like Shen Yuhe thought, with their strength, they could absolutely seize the chaos to break out, but their parents, wives, and children were still behind them, how could they possibly abandon their loved ones to escape alone?

As they kept retreating, the fierce and evil bandits pressed closer, the old and weak hiding near the temple let out terrified screams and cries, instinctively gathering towards the temple entrance.

Then, all the civilians crowded at the temple entrance, with nearly a thousand temple priests, guards, and warriors from various clans standing in front of them.

Although their number was considerable, those who could fight were merely the thousand or so in front, facing thousands of cruel and violent bandits, akin to lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The scream of women, the cries of infants, the sobs of the elderly merged together, like a mournful song before the arrival of doomsday.

An Xiaxin struggled to keep her eyes open, staring at the helpless crowd below, already with tears streaming down her face. She had ultimately failed, unable to protect Huayu Temple!

"In primordial times, the heavens collapsed, life lay in ruin, God showed mercy upon all, cut through chaos, the heavens and earth returned to their places, the stars shifted, peace returned to the world. God’s title, spread throughout the world, God’s majesty, revered by all, God’s dignity, inviolable..." Ye Yi’an’s haggard and frail figure emerged next to her, singing in a hoarse and tragic voice.

"Lord Mu, you..." An Xiaxin looked at Ye Yi’an in shock.

Actually, Huayu Temple had one last defensive array that had not been activated, and that was the most terrifying Divine Gifted Heavenly Power. Because the array’s power was too great, its activation might exhaust all the Meteorite Gold, and the attack range was limited. It was effective against a small number of strong intruders, but against bandits gathering from all four directions, it was impossible to use rashly. Therefore, An Xiaxin had saved it for the last. But truly at the last moment, she had no strength left to activate this array, and besides her, no other temple priests had the ability.

An Xiaxin never expected Ye Yi’an to step in, his vitality had already reached its limit, lying on the sickbed for more than a month.

Ye Yi’an waved his hand to stop her from continuing.

As his vitality dissipated, his Divine Sense was extremely scattered, he couldn’t even be sure whether he could activate this Divine Gifted Heavenly Power array, he couldn’t afford the slightest distraction.

His face deeply hollowed, beneath the loose priest robe, his body had long turned into skin and bones, even through the robe, his trembling legs could be seen. For him at this moment, even standing like this seemed to require all his strength.

Yet his gaze was resolute and unwavering.

An Xiaxin bit her lip tightly, tears cascading down. She knew Ye Yi’an had ignited his last vitality, regardless of whether he could activate the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power array, he was certainly doomed to die!

If he truly had no power to recover, it might be left alone, but Mu Hanyan’s prior message via flying eagle was very clear, she had found the Phoenix Nirvana Pill that could extend Ye Yi’an’s life, not only could it extend his lifespan, but also make him younger by a hundred years, capable of breaking through bottlenecks and continuing another hundred years. But for the sake of Huayu Temple, he resolutely forsook this last chance.

With Ye Yi’an’s final hand formation cast, a dazzling blue beam of light shot down from the temple’s spire, aimed at the surging bandits below.

"Divine Gifted Heavenly Power, not good!" Nearby, the dozen priests reduced to bandits changed color in horror.

Others might not understand the might of the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power, but as former priests, they were all too aware.

In the distance, the man in black robes watching this scene had a sharp gaze and once again drew his bowstring.

The sound of breaking flight, black arrows like meteors swept past, colliding fiercely with the blue beam of light.

Another earth-shattering explosion, the blue beam of the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power and the black arrows simultaneously burst, waves of chaotic air currents surged like menacing waves.

The combatants below the temple were again stunned, unexpectedly stopping at once, gazing in awe or fear towards the distant figure shrouded in black robes.

Who was this person, with such formidable strength, capable of breaking the power of the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power array with a single arrow?

One arrow broke the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power, the man in black robes seemed to be struck by lightning, his body shook violently, heavily spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His gaze locked fiercely on Ye Yi’an atop the temple, his eyes revealing intense killing intent, then he soared into the sky, headed towards Ye Yi’an, already drawing his longbow again in mid-air.

At this time, Ye Yi’an was already essentially spent, relying only on his last breath to remain standing, yet the man in black robes didn’t know this. He only knew the power of this Divine Gifted Heavenly Power was indeed substantial, if it were to come again, even he might not withstand it, if he didn’t kill that old priest, the effort would likely be in vain.

The tip of the black arrow gleamed with a piercing cold light, though firmly locked on Ye Yi’an, everyone felt a chilling dread, even the bandits, originally companions, felt an almost instinctive terror deep within, unable to muster the slightest fighting spirit.

"Swish!" The arrow carrying the breath of death finally left the string, the sky, the earth, seemed to shiver in the piercing shriek.

"Lord be careful!" Below the temple, countless civilians shouted in alarm.

"Lord Sacrificial Officer!" Over a hundred Mu Clan members rushed onto the temple’s upper level without hesitation, standing in front of Ye Yi’an.

But, with their flesh and blood, how could they withstand this terrifying arrow that could forcibly break even the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power?

Before the arrow arrived, a dozen Mu Clan members of weaker constitution seemed struck in the chest by a giant stone, uniformly spitting out blood. Yet not one person retreated, their spines remained straight, their expressions steadfast.

Seeing this scene, the civilians below cried out in despair. They knew no one could stop this arrow, their last hope for survival would thus be extinguished.

"Nine Heavens, Star Fall!" Just when everyone had completely lost hope, a clear voice rang out, Mu Hanyan’s stunning figure shot forward like lightning, already unleashing a sword slash in mid-air.

"Master Priest!" Shen Yuhe jerked her head up, although tear traces still adorned her face, a smile of ecstatic delight appeared, her gaze burning brightly.

"Han Yan!" On Ye Yi’an’s withered face, a smile of relief flickered, as if he had laid down a heavy burden, and he fell straight down.

Below, a group of priest guards, Mu Clan members, and those civilians who had migrated to Huayu City earlier wept tears of joy.

In Huayu City, Mu Hanyan is their deity, their protecting god!
