Chapter 571: Chapter 566: Repel

The azure streak of light seemed poised to sever everything in its path. Even before it arrived, its piercing Sword Qi made the three Kings’ skin sting.

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

Following a sound like the clash of metal, sword marks appeared on the surrounding buildings. This was caused by countless tiny streams of Sword Qi crisscrossing through the air, affecting everything in all directions.

With the appearance of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, the three Kings finally felt threatened.

"Attack with all your might!"

Ao Wubian roared. The aura around his body surged, concentrating entirely into his fist. As he threw the punch, it was as if heaven and earth were turning upside down—an incomparably terrifying sight.

The Grand Elders of the Three-headed Snake Clan and the Blood Shark Clan likewise unleashed their strongest attacks to counter Ning Jiang’s Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation.

Their strength was comparable to the Ten Great Earth Martial Realms. Even a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert would have to temporarily avoid the brunt of their current combined attack. After all, experts on the level of the Ten Great Earth Martial Realms could already injure a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert, let alone three of them working together.

"SCHLICK!"

But the Sword Array was terrifyingly sharp and unstoppable. The trio’s attacks only held it back for a moment before being sliced through like butter.

"ROAR."

Finally, with a furious roar, Ao Wubian’s body transformed. He became a massive Flood Dragon hundreds of yards long. The other two did the same, revealing their true forms—one became a Three-headed Serpent, and the other a giant blood shark.

Faced with this Sword Array, they had no choice but to go all out.

Ao Wubian whipped his tail, a move like a Divine Dragon’s Tail Swing, lashing out at the Sword Array.

The Three-headed Serpent opened its mouths and spat out three beams of Energy, while the blood shark spewed a monstrous, surging torrent of seawater.

"BOOM!"

Following a tremendous BOOM, chaotic waves of Energy erupted in all directions. Nocturnal City was devastated in an instant. Countless buildings were destroyed, and many Martial Artists were sent flying, spitting up blood from the force of the collision.

Even the Pearl King, watching from the sidelines, looked shocked.

"*Hiss...*" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

After the collision, the crowd gasped. They saw that although the three Kings had managed to block the Sword Array together, a gash dozens of yards long had appeared on Ao Wubian’s tail, dripping with blood.

"Even with the might of a Flood Dragon’s body, he can’t withstand this Sword Array? This Innate Spiritual Treasure is just too powerful!"

"No, while the Innate Spiritual Treasure is strong, the Sword Array is the crucial part. This Array is incredibly profound, unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The auras of the thirty-six swords are perfectly linked, fused into a single entity with no discernible flaws. It’s unbelievable."

"That’s right. Every attack carries the combined might of all thirty-six swords. It’s absolutely ingenious."

The crowd was filled with amazement.

Ao Wubian was secretly alarmed. ’Damn it, the power of this Sword Array is truly astonishing.’ As a Six-Stars King, he had seen countless Arrays in his time, including plenty of Sword Arrays.

However, all the other Sword Arrays he had witnessed had obvious flaws. Compared to Ning Jiang’s, they weren’t even in the same league.

’No matter how I look at it, I can’t find a way to break this Sword Array,’ he thought. ’The only way is to overwhelm it with absolute Power.’

"That was just a small taste," Ning Jiang said, his words causing the three Kings’ expressions to falter. "Next, I’ll let you witness the true power of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation."

"Go."

As his voice fell, the thirty-six swords blazed with brilliant light. Azure radiance shot toward the sky, and from a distance, each sword resembled an azure star.

The thirty-six swords flew to surround the three Kings, then began to spin rapidly. Gradually, an azure tornado of Sword Qi formed around them.

The tornado of Sword Qi seemed to connect heaven and earth, and the expressions of the three Kings trapped within turned grim.

"Kill."

Ning Jiang uttered a single word.

The next moment, sword after sword shot toward the three Kings like falling stars.

"Get lost!"

The three Kings roared, unleashing attacks to knock the swords away. But as soon as one sword was deflected, the next immediately followed, giving them no chance to catch their breath.

At first, the trio was able to defend themselves, but as time wore on, they began to struggle.

After withstanding a thousand attacks, finally, with a SQUELCH, one of the swords grazed Ao Wubian’s massive body, leaving another gash.

"You can be proud for withstanding a thousand attacks from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation."

Ning Jiang watched coldly. The three Kings could no longer hold on. Sword after sword tore through their bodies, leaving ghastly wounds in their wake.

"AAARGH! Brat, when I get out of here, I’m going to tear you to pieces!"

Ao Wubian let out a heaven-shaking roar, the sheer volume of which made the ears of many onlookers ring.

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief.

The three Kings, who had just held the upper hand, were now completely suppressed by Ning Jiang in the blink of an eye. One could only imagine the monstrous rage burning within their hearts. After all, they were esteemed Celestial Martial Realm Kings, while Ning Jiang was merely an ant from the Earth Martial Realm.

"WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH..."

The thirty-six swords shot ceaselessly toward the three Kings. Trapped in the storm of Sword Qi with no way to escape, the wounds on their bodies multiplied. Sheets of blood rained down from above, as if a downpour of blood had begun.

"Could the three Kings actually fall here today?"

An absurd thought surfaced in the minds of the crowd. If the three Kings were to fall, it would be an earth-shattering event that would surely shake the entire East Sea.

"Impossible. A King is a King, after all. Even with their Cultivation suppressed, they aren’t that easy to kill."

"That’s right. Every King has survived countless life-and-death crises to reach their current status. If they could be killed so easily, they wouldn’t be Kings in the first place."

The crowd shook their heads.

"Ning Jiang, we’ll let you go for today!"

Just then, the three Kings let out a furious roar. Flames ignited on their bodies as their auras suddenly skyrocketed. Then, with a combined strike, they broke free from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation’s encirclement.

Immediately after, they shot up into the sky and fled from Nocturnal City.

"They burned some of their Origin Power."

Ning Jiang saw what they had done but didn’t give chase. It would have been difficult to stop the three Kings once they decided to flee. Besides, Nocturnal City was on the very edge of the ten-thousand-li suppression zone. If he chased them beyond it, their Cultivation would be restored, and that would be his death sentence.

"The three Kings were actually forced to retreat? After today’s battle, Ning Jiang’s fame will spread far and wide yet again," the crowd murmured, dumbfounded.

’Once my Cultivation reaches the Earth Martial Realm Late Stage, I’ll be invincible within the Earth Martial Realm!’

Ning Jiang clenched his fist, brimming with confidence.

’If my Cultivation had been higher, I wouldn’t have even needed the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation today. Now, I need to focus on getting even stronger.’

"Let’s go to the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower."

Ning Jiang called out and took the lead, flying into the air.

Gu Huaying gave the Pearl King one last look but said nothing more. She knew he had been forced into it, but in the end, he had still betrayed her. The friendship between her father and the Pearl King had turned to nothing this day.

"Sigh..." The Pearl King sighed, watching the three of them depart.

After Ning Jiang’s group left, the other Martial Artists in Nocturnal City also began to depart, all heading for the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower.
