Song Yan Ning looked up at the black net above her, her eyes narrowing slightly. This was the Life-killing Net, its purpose was to devour life energy, and surely many cultivators had fallen into Fang Yijian’s hands because of it.
The net slowly descended, enveloping Song Yan Ning completely.
Fang Yijian curved his lips into a smile. This time Song Yan Ning was doomed. As long as she was caught in his Life-killing Net, there was only one path—death, and so far, there had been no exceptions. He had used the Life-killing Net right from the start to intimidate the Sky Heart Sect, to let them know that he, Fang Yijian, was the strongest.
"Ningning, she won’t be harmed, right?" Hu Qi anxiously watched the stage. Just looking at that black net made him feel oppressed.
"No!" Qin Yushen affirmed. If Xiao Ning couldn’t break through the black net within ten breaths’ time, even if it meant breaking the rules of the competition, he would save Xiao Ning.
The moment she was caught in the black net, Song Yan Ning felt her life energy being absorbed. She took out a Vitality Pill, swallowed it, and closed her eyes. The reason the Life-killing Net could devour life energy was that it formed the Life-killing Array. All she had to do was find the heart of the Array, and she could break through the Life-killing Net.
Time slowly passed, and everyone present was staring intently at the stage.
Qin Yushen calculated the time silently in his heart. There were two breaths left, and if Xiao Ning didn’t appear, he would rush up. In his heart, nothing was more important than Xiao Ning.
Inside the Life-killing Net, Song Yan Ning opened her eyes and raised her hand to wield her whip.
"Snap!" The whip struck the Life-killing Net, which emitted a blinding white light. In the next instant, it turned into ash.
Qin Yushen’s lips curled into a slight smile. He knew Xiao Ning could do it.
"How is this possible?" Fang Yijian watched in disbelief as the Life-killing Net dissipated. Until now, no one had ever escaped his Life-killing Net. How had Song Yan Ning done it?
"Nothing is impossible," Song Yan Ning said lightly, lifting the corner of her lips. The reason she could break Fang Yijian’s Life-killing Net was first that Fang Yijian’s cultivation was too weak. With his current level of cultivation, he couldn’t fully unleash the power of the Life-slaying Shovel. Secondly, Fang Yijian’s skills in Array were limited.
"You’re going to die!" Fang Yijian, unwilling to accept defeat, clenched his teeth, swung the Life-slaying Shovel in his hand, and charged at Song Yan Ning. His Life-slaying Shovel was a Quasi-Immortal Artifact, and he couldn’t believe it wouldn’t take down Song Yan Ning.
The Mo Feng Sect Master, seeing the situation on the platform, had a bad premonition and stood up hastily, "Yijian, concede quickly!"
Hearing the words of the Mo Feng Sect Master, Fang Yijian’s heart filled with even more unwillingness and anger. He would not lose—he absolutely would not lose to a disciple from a third-rate sect like the Sky Heart Sect.
Song Yan Ning’s figure flashed, dodging Fang Yijian’s Life-slaying Shovel while her whip landed on Fang Yijian’s neck. She wasn’t someone who killed without cause, but she wouldn’t spare someone trying to kill her. Since Fang Yijian had shown her murderous intent repeatedly, how could she possibly let him go?
Blood sprayed, and Fang Yijian’s eyes widened with disbelief and unwillingness. He was the top talent of Lingyue City, and yet today he had been killed by a woman.
"No!" The Mo Feng Sect Master screamed and rushed onto the platform. Fang Yijian was not only his most proud disciple but also his illegitimate son, and was intended to be the future Mo Feng Sect Master. He couldn’t let him die.
