Chapter 1101: The One Who Can Plant the Pillar Can Wipe Out an Entire Family and Extinguish Descendants

.....Nie Lei flew backward, vomiting a spray of fresh blood, his chest collapsed.

He couldn't believe it.

He, the youngest and most honored young master of the Nie family, was actually being beaten in Nanshan Kingdom???????

Every protective artifact on his body shattered.

Qin Jinghao's eyes were bloodshot.

"You bastard!!!!!!"

He kicked and smashed the floor tile, then leapt up violently.

Nie Lei no longer cared about the circumstances.

Only one thought filled his mind.

Fight back!!!!!

Though a rotten rich kid, he was not entirely useless. Raised in that family, despite problems with his character and behavior,

his talent and resources were excellent!!!!

He raised his hand and formed a magic sword.

"You lowborn scum, you actually hit me, you—"

Before he could finish speaking,

Nie Lei felt a chill at his back.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw boundless darkness.

When had Wang Qingge gotten behind him? She raised the little wooden sign in her hand and slammed it down onto the back of Nie Lei's skull.

Bang!!!!!!

The resisting Nie Lei instantly fell from the air to the ground.

The whole back of his head caved in.

The remaining protective artifacts on his body shattered completely at that moment.

Angered, Qin Jinghao rushed forward, his fists pounding without pause!!!!!

Each punch accompanied the sound of bones cracking and breaking.

Horrifying screams filled the air.

Qin Jinghao tore into Nie Lei's flesh and bones inch by inch, ripping meat and tearing deeper, the scale growing more extreme, blood pouring out in ever larger amounts, even long strips of something being ripped from Nie Lei's belly by force.

What an excruciating pain.

"Ah!!!!"

"It hurts!!!! Father!!! It hurts so much!!!!! Father!!! Save me!!!!!"

"I was wrong!!!! I was wrong!!!!!! Please spare me!!!! Please spare me!!!!!!!"

Nie Shen, who had been subdued by Gongyang Qingrou, struggled continuously.

He had thought the likely sequence would be to bring his son here, and given the Nie family's status and his own identity and God-Sealing realm strength, he would at least have a chance to speak and explain.

He didn't expect they would act immediately, with no chance to say a word.

He also thought his son might meet a quick death.

He never imagined a death so cruel—flesh being torn piece by piece, organs hollowed out, all happening alive before his eyes.

Which father could bear such a scene!?

Although he also hated his son's beastly behavior, he was still his son!!!

Nie Shen struggled and roared, "Give him a quick one!!! Give him a quick one!!!!!"

"Grand Duke Lu, my son does not deserve this!!!!!!!"

"I beg you, give him a quick end!!!!!!!"

Lu Ding watched the brutal scene without emotion.

He turned his head to look at Yin Aosi, whom he had pinned down: "I said all of them, none missing, not even one."

"Only two came just now, what does that mean?"

Yin Aosi lay prostrate on the ground, unable to resist — indeed she could not.

She had not expected Lu Ding to be this strong.

Nor had she expected the two women beside Lu Ding — one terrifyingly powerful, the other not outwardly strong but exuding an utterly eerie presence!!!

She smiled and said, "Grand Duke Lu, I'm only acting out of concern for you. My plan was to lure Nie Shen and his son here. First, to prevent him from whisking his son—the ringleader—away."

"Second, to trick Nie Shen, a God-Sealing powerhouse, into coming so we could lock the door to beat the dog and weaken the Nie family's top strength."

"But I didn't expect you and your associates to be so strong. My earlier moves were unnecessary."

"Still, it's fine. You can kill Nie Shen and Nie Lei first, then wipe out the entire Nie family. How about that?"

Of course, that was not her truest intent. She originally wanted to negotiate, but with Lu Ding and Gongyang Qingrou showing such power, she altered her approach to suit the momentum.

All of this had been considered by Yin Aosi.

It also allowed her to distance herself.

After all, she had done what she needed to do. It was Lu Ding who was displeased the Nie family sent only two people, so he struck at them. That would not fall on her head.

Hearing this, Nie Shen froze for a moment.

"Yin Aosi!!! You didn't say that just now!!!!"

"You liar!!!!!"

"You treacherous traitor, you filthy woman!!!!!!"

Nie Shen, agitated, tried to resist.

But under Gongyang Qingrou he was like fish on a chopping block.

Still, his frantic shouting was annoying.

Gongyang Qingrou's palm came down, striking Nie Shen's crown with a single motion.

It was instantaneous.

She flattened Nie Shen's crown.

The rounded crown was suddenly smashed flat.

Blood mixed with brain matter sprayed from his ears, nose, and eyes.

Yin Aosi's pupils constricted slightly, clearly stunned by Gongyang Qingrou's ruthlessness.

But she spoke calmly: "Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing. Just listening to me would be foolish. The important thing is to watch what I do. Don't you agree, Grand Duke Lu?"

Nie Shen coughed up blood and, struggling, responded with difficulty: "Bast...ard...bastard..."

Yin Aosi made no attempt to resist as she was held down by Lu Ding. She pursed her lips and nodded, a little smug: "Mm... thanks for the compliment. Everyone praises me like that, not for a day or two."

At that moment, Lu Ding continued.

"Even if his sister is one of your majesty's consorts, you don't care?"

Yin Aosi answered directly: "She's not my consort, and our majesty has more than one consort. Forgive us if the emperor is sentimental and may be saddened by Consort Nie's death."

Lu Ding: ??????

He then laughed out loud: "Hahahahahahahaha........."

He relaxed his hold on Yin Aosi: "Commander Yin, I'm starting to admire you."

As he spoke,

Lu Ding turned.

With a single gesture he called back the Four Pillar Divine Calamity, limited-time return.

Four black pillars floated into being, namely, Disheveled Hair Timing Moon Pillar, Mourning Cloth Timing Pillar, Mourning Guest Timing Day Pillar, and Misfortune Pillar.

The four black pillars emitted an ominous aura that made hearts quake.

Their deep, profound darkness, paired with characters and patterns on the pillars that looked like dried bloodstains, made them appear thoroughly evil and clearly not something good.

Lu Ding called, "Qin Jinghao."

At the sound, Qin Jinghao stopped mutilating Nie Lei, having just smashed his skull, and walked over.

"Grand Guardian."

Lu Ding selected the four calamity pillars: "These are called the Four Calamity Pillars. They represent year, month, day, and hour. Each pillar has its use. In general, their function is that, for someone who plants the pillar, they can wipe out an entire family and extinguish descendants."

As he said this, Lu Ding looked at Nie Shen, who was heavily injured and restrained by Gongyang Qingrou: "Anyone with a blood relation to him won't escape..."

Lu Ding smiled, black smoke spilling from the corner of his mouth: "You... want to try?"

The words, like a devil's whisper, made Qin Jinghao's excited body tremble. Fear filled Nie Shen's eyes as he looked up at Lu Ding.

"No... no... please... you devil!!!!"

"If you have grievance, come at me. The other Nie family members are innocent!!!!"

"My son has already been killed by you. He is the ringleader. If you want to settle scores, kill me, kill me!!!!"

"Lu Ding!!!! Kill me then!!!!!!"
