Starfall Shroud! Seven Star Sword Array! Please Keep Reading! Please Vote!

The starry sky suddenly brightened several degrees. A streak of sword light descended from the starlight and plunged into the center of the battlefield, its cold Sword Intent clearing everyone's minds!

"I heard you're the bastard who wants to bully my nephew?"

Under the moonlight, a black figure wearing the robes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appeared atop a tree not far from the road. He was handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, brimming with heroic spirit.

Behind the handsome man, six standard soul rings—Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black—appeared. Despite his young age, he was a Soul Emperor!

"Consider yourselves lucky! Hmph!" Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu's eyes trembled when he saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect member on the treetop. He had delayed for too long after all, held up by Ning Lu, whom he could not quickly deal with. That had allowed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to track the sounds of battle here!

At that thought, Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu gave Ning Lu and Chen Hong a vicious glare with his blood-red eyes, then snorted and began gathering his remaining men, preparing to retreat.

However, the extraordinary young man suddenly laughed. "You attacked and tried to kill members of my Ning Clan, yet you think you can leave so easily?"

The young man gave a slight wave of his hand. The six soul rings behind him seemed to breathe as they began pulsing rhythmically.

Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu's expression immediately turned vicious. Staring at the young man on the treetop, he said grimly, "You think a little brat who just reached level 61 and became a Soul Emperor can stop me?!"

"Others might not be able to kill you, but you? Hehehe."

The young man flashed Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu a brilliant smile. His smile seemed to blend with the moonlight and stars, cold and piercing to the bone!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The soul rings behind the young man instantly began to pulse. Six divine essences descended from the starry sky and empowered him, causing his aura to become unstable in an instant.

"Sorry, but I've been watching your tricks for a while now. You won't be getting away."

The six starry divine essences formed six flowing bands around him, weaving themselves into a Starfall Shroud.

"And you're out of luck. I just happened to learn another move from Teacher Chen Xin~"

The young man smiled brightly as six streams of starlight descended from the Milky Way, scattering across six points of the battlefield and leaving behind six sword-shaped star marks!

Seven Star Sword Array (Temporary), formed!

At this moment, heaven, earth, and man all favored this one sword!

"Our branch has one defining trait~ Our burst power is insanely strong~"

The young man clad in the Six-Essence Starfall Shroud swayed slightly, instantly appearing where he had cast the Seven Star Sword before. His figure seemed weightless, while space around him began to distort with unnatural flickers and refractions, making him appear increasingly illusory.

Exclusive self-created soul skill—Falling Star Sword Steps!

The young man accomplished all of this in a mere instant. Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu only heard him chatting and laughing as he drew upon the Starfall Power of the night sky and instantly laid down a sword array!

"My sister has suffered all her life, cast adrift by fate. She finally had one son, only for demons like you to bully him..."

The young man's Sword Momentum grew denser and fiercer, yet the smile in his eyes only deepened.

Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu sensed something was wrong and tried to flee, but he was too slow. No—the young man wielding a Starry Sky Longsword that seemed heaven-sent was too fast!

"If I don't kill you... my heart will never be at peace~"

The cheerful young man laughed heartily. The sword array activated, and Sword Intent erupted!

"Tian Shu!"

The young man smiled as his sword pierced through the heavens!

The sword light was so fast that Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu only had time to activate his Head Soul Bone skill and exchange his body with one of his puppets!

In the next instant, a straight beam of starlight beheaded that puppet!

"Tian Xuan!"

The young man's footwork was profound and mysterious. Every step he took perfectly aligned with the star marks of the Seven Star Sword Array he had just set down using Starfall Power!

As he called out Tian Xuan, the second divine essence within the young man's Starfall Shroud lit up, echoing with a starry sword mark elsewhere. In an instant, another straight streak of sword light shot forth! Its endpoint astonishingly aligned with Qian Yu's escape route after he had transferred his body away!

Slash!

Sword qi gleamed like moonlight, Sword Intent condensed into a blade, and the puppets along its path were cleaved in half!

With all his soul rings activated and his condition at its peak, all six of his combat attributes had increased by 60%! And with the added boost of the starry sky, Qian Yu, a mere level 67 Spirit Soul Master, was completely unable to contend against the young man's overwhelming speed and assault!

"Tian Ji!"

Qian Yu was still trying to use soul skills to evade, but he finally realized that the remaining starry sword marks had not been shaken off by his Spatial Transfer. Instead, they dynamically repositioned themselves with him as their center!

"Tian Quan!"

"Yu Heng!"

Five straight streaks of sword light crossed the entire battlefield in an instant! Qian Yu's remaining Blood Puppets were all slain at once. He had no time to transfer farther away and could only dart back and forth across the battlefield. Using his last puppet body, he hid near Ning Lu. His heart blared with warning as he realized the sword array was not yet finished. He could only glare viciously at Chen Hong behind Ning Lu with blood-red eyes, all his soul rings lighting up as he attempted a desperate final attack!

"Kai Yang!" The young man's cold yet hearty laughter rang out again. Sword light flashed, and a Starfall Sword instantly pierced through Qian Yu's heart!

Only a few short seconds had passed from the young man's arrival to Qian Yu's heart being shattered. To outside observers, six streaks of sword light flashed in rapid succession across the battlefield beneath the stars, sketching a mysterious and razor-sharp sword array in the darkness. Then they watched as Evil Soul Emperor Qian Yu's heart was shattered before Ning Lu and the others by that young man, before he was beheaded outright!

"Done! A perfect finish~" The young Soul Emperor of the Seven Star Ning Clan confirmed that he had not mistaken Qian Yu's Soul Emperor body, then gave Ning Lu a light smile from afar. The Starfall Shroud around him instantly faded, and his aura rapidly fell back to what an ordinary level 61 Soul Emperor should possess. However, he would not be able to erupt with the same dashing, handsome power again for the next seven days.

The young man was named Ning Quan, the fourth-generation successor of the Seven Star Ning Clan—the alt account Ning Lu had raised after her main account had been ruined.

Just as Ning Quan was about to give his elder sister his signature brilliant smile, his expression suddenly changed. Seeing Chen Hong's eyes instantly turn blood-red, he immediately said anxiously, "Sis! Sis! Quick, check on my nephew! What happened to him?!"

However, Ning Lu did not respond to Ning Quan. After seeing Qian Yu's true body slain, her mind finally relaxed. The Divine Rune on her forehead dissipated, and exhaustion swept over her like a flood. No longer able to support either body or mind, she fainted on the spot, frightening Ning Quan into rushing over to catch her.

As for Chen Hong, his eyes were blood-red as he endured the discomfort. He adjusted the effects of the [Sage]'s Ring on his head to their maximum and knelt on one knee, saying calmly:

"I'm fine. That Evil Soul Master hit me with a mental attack right before he died."

I'm starting to think Ning Quan is the real protagonist. How are his skills this flashy? Holy shit.

The Seven Star Ning Clan's combat power could not surpass Soul Douluo, so it did not affect the issue of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacking top-tier combat strength.
