When those beams of radiant light descended, the cultivators responsible for protecting Shi Yongqing met their untimely demise, one after another. Some didn't even have the chance to let out a scream, and others didn't have a moment's additional reaction, nor did they realize what was happening before they were eradicated from this world.
Shi Yongqing knew how devastating the power of a royal palace's Killing Array could be once activated, but she had only ever known this and had never personally experienced it. Now, as such an attack was unleashed upon her, Shi Yongqing realized just how terrifying it was.
The half-step Nascent Soul level battle armor she wore cast a protective shield that was supposed to safeguard only her. After withstanding the assault of the Killing Array, Shi Yongqing was horrified to find that the shield's glow had dimmed to the point where one could clearly see with the naked eye that it was on the verge of collapse, struggling to hold on.
