406: Kill the Ning family again

Ning Hao's eyes bulged, filled with disbelief, terror, and bewilderment.

A tiny blood hole appeared on his forehead.

Boom!

The next moment, Ning Hao's burly body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The giant axe in his hand clanged as it fell, its luster dimmed.

A Core Disciple of the Ning Family at the Tong Tian Realm Tenth Level Peak was killed in just one exchange! Until his death, the look of utter horror was frozen on his face.

The entire venue was dead silent! One could hear a pin drop!

Everyone was stunned by this lightning-fast life-and-death struggle.

Too fast! Too ruthless! Too strong!

From Di Xingyun's disappearance to Ning Hao's collapse and death, the entire process took no more than three breaths!

Many people didn't even see how Di Xingyun attacked; they only saw a flash of starlight, and Ning Hao was already on the ground!

"Hao'er!!!" In the Ning Family area, an Elder's eyes were bloodshot, and he stood up abruptly, his Law Realm aura uncontrollably erupting, stirring the winds and clouds, as he glared at Di Xingyun with blood-red eyes, wishing he could devour him alive.

"Hiss—!" Countless gasps of cold air sounded.

"My heavens... one move? No, two moves? Instantly killed Ning Hao?!"

"That sword Formation... that movement technique... that finger technique... this person is definitely not an unknown Loose Cultivator!"

"What terrifying battle instinct! Ning Hao was like a child who couldn't fight in front of him!"

"The Ning Family has really hit a wall this time!"

Luo Li looked at the figure in the field, clad in a green robe with a few specks of starlight and blood, yet still as calm as a deep abyss. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliance, and Venerable Xing Yan's eyelids twitched slightly again, his cloudy gaze seeming to brighten for a moment before returning to stillness.

"Xingyun! You deserve to die!"

In the Ning Family's camp, the remaining three Heaven-Reaching Realm Disciples had long been consumed by hatred. Seeing Ning Hao's instant tragic death, their shock and fury completely overshadowed any fear.

The three of them roared simultaneously and leaped onto the high platform!

"Avenge Brother Hao!"

"Form the Three Talents Star-Slaying Formation! Kill this fiend!"

The three instantly formed their positions, surrounding Di Xingyun in a triangular stance.

Their cultivations were all from Heaven-Reaching Realm Eighth Level to Ninth Level. At this moment, united by common hatred, their auras connected, subtly forming a starlight battle Formation filled with murderous intent!

The three wielded different weapons—a long spear, a battle saber, and a meteor hammer—all simultaneously erupting with dazzling light. Spear shadows were like a forest, saber light like a waterfall, and the meteor hammer whistled as it tore through the air. From three cunning and vicious angles, filled with killing intent, they fiercely struck towards Di Xingyun in the center!

Under the Formation's enhancement, the power of their three attacks doubled, sealing off all of Di Xingyun's evasion space. The violent Star Power Turbulence currents cut through the air with hissing sounds.

"A mere firefly dares to shine?" Di Xingyun coldly scoffed.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Seven Flying Swords hovered around Di Xingyun, their tips spitting out a foot-long cold radiance, making him appear like a deity wielding the stars.

"Combine!" Di Xingyun formed a sword art with his hands, and his Divine Sense surged out like a tide.

The seven Flying Swords instantly glowed brightly, rapidly interweaving and connecting with profound trajectories. Countless tiny Star Power lines intertwined between the swords, forming a vast, complex, and sharply murderous three-dimensional sword Formation in the blink of an eye!

As the sword Formation operated, it drew Star Power from a hundred-zhang radius, forming a dazzling starlight vortex that even suppressed the light of the Ning Family's Three Talents Star-Slaying Formation!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Spear shadows, saber light, and the meteor hammer almost simultaneously slammed into the rotating Star Sword Formation!

The deafening explosions were tremendous! A violent energy shockwave swept out instantly.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The faces of the three Ning Family members instantly turned ashen, and they all spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Their attacks were like mud oxen entering the sea, easily shredded by the endlessly rotating Star Sword Formation!

Moreover, a backlash force traveled back through their weapons, numbing their arms, causing their internal Qi and blood to churn, and instantly breaking the Formation they had just formed!

"No! Retreat quickly!" One of them screamed in utter terror.

However, it was too late!

Di Xingyun's eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice. The sword art in his hands changed again: "Shred!"

The rotating Star Sword Formation suddenly contracted! The seven Flying Swords transformed into seven streaks of light, carrying a sharp aura that could cut through all things, instantly piercing through the bodies of the three!

Rip! Rip! Rip!

The sound of blades slicing through flesh, muscle, and bone was hair-raising.

Blood rained down everywhere! Accompanied by screams so shrill they didn't sound human.

Severed arms, broken limbs, shattered weapons... along with three corpses, torn to pieces by Sword Qi like tattered sacks, fell limply from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the cold black iron ground.

A thick smell of blood instantly permeated the air, dyeing the originally brilliant and dreamlike starlight with a cruel crimson hue.

Another instant kill!

And this was even with three people working together in a Formation, completely shredded by Di Xingyun with overwhelming force!

The entire Star Gazing Platform, from top to bottom, fell into an even deeper silence.

Only the strong smell of blood and the dull thud of bodies hitting the ground silently recounted the brutality of the battle.

Countless people looked at the green-robed figure bathed in starlight and blood in the arena, their eyes filled with deep reverence.

How could this be a Loose Cultivator? This was clearly a God of Slaughter!

"Hiss... Star Sword Formation! So exquisite and profound, drawing in Star Power vast as the sea... this child's comprehension of the Dao of Stars is simply astonishing!" A Quan Family Elder couldn't help but gasp in a low voice, a slight tremor in his tone.

"The Ning Family... this time they've truly fallen, hitting a real iron plate, and a red-hot branding iron at that!" The Ming Family representative secretly shook his head, glad he hadn't rashly stepped forward.

The Ming Family members had no idea that three of their own had died at Di Xingyun's hands in the Star Desolation Plains while trying to seize treasure.

"Such powerful strength... such ruthless methods!" The Disciples of the Star Moon Sect and Silver Moon Sect exchanged glances, seeing apprehension in each other's eyes.

The Star-Erosion Sect's spy, hidden in the crowd, had eyes that grew even colder and more greedy!

"Beast! You seek death!!" In the Ning Family area, the Law Realm Peak Elder could no longer hold back. His terrifying pressure erupted like a volcano!

His hair stood on end, his eyes blood-red, he took a step, about to rush onto the high platform regardless of everything, to tear Di Xingyun into ten thousand pieces!

The might of a Law Realm Tenth Level swept across the entire venue like a raging tempest, making many low-cultivation Cultivators feel suffocated.

Buzz—!

Just at this critical moment, an even vaster, deeper pressure, like an invisible celestial curtain, gently descended.

Instantly, the Ning Family Elder's violent Law Realm aura was like a spark thrown into the ocean, hissing and completely suppressed, vanishing into nothingness!

The Ning Family Elder's face changed drastically, as if an invisible large hand had gripped his throat. All his movements froze in place, and even his breathing became difficult.

He looked in horror at the center of the high platform.

He saw that Venerable Xing Yan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, had now fully opened them.

He did not look at the Ning Family Elder, but merely spoke faintly. His voice was not loud, yet it clearly suppressed all the clamor, carrying an undeniable authority:

"The Star Gazing Platform is a place of peace. Those who ascend the platform are responsible for their own life and death. Those who act from below the platform shall die."

A simple sentence, carrying a Soul-freezing chill.

Large beads of cold sweat instantly seeped from the Ning Family Elder's forehead. His surging anger and murderous intent were as if doused with ice water, leaving only bone-chilling coldness and fear.

He had no doubt that if he dared to make even the slightest move, the Grand Elder of the Star Sacred Land, Venerable Xing Yan, would mercilessly erase him on the spot!

The Ning Family Elder's face turned from red to white, then from white to green. Finally, he gritted his teeth, shot a venomous glare at Di Xingyun, and slumped back into his seat, his body trembling slightly from anger and fear.

The other Ning Family members were even more silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.
