120: Chapter 120 Life-or-death crisis, the grand formation is activated!

"Ant!"

On Golden Core Master Wu Yong's face, that cruel smile grew increasingly intense.

He looked down at the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator below, who was roaring at him like a mayfly trying to topple a tree, courting death; the Killing Intent in his heart had already climbed to its peak!

"Since you want to die so much, this Seat shall fulfill your wish!"

"Remember, the one who annihilates your entire Gu Family today is the Black Fiend Sect... Golden Core Master Wu Yong!"

His slowly raised right hand suddenly... pressed down!

Rumble—!

At this moment, Heaven and Earth seemed to have truly collapsed!

Above Baifeng City, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light!

Endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was crazily drawn, compressed, and condensed by that unremarkable palm!

A massive spiritual power palm, hundreds of zhang in size, pitch-black all over, with countless ferocious ghost head runes swirling on its surface, tore through the clouds. Carrying a terrifying pressure capable of crushing mountains and rivers, making all living beings despair, it headed towards Gu Garden, towards Gu Yan, and crashed...

Pressing down!

Before the black giant palm had even fallen, that terrifying gale had already crushed the streets around Gu Garden, along with the houses on them, into powder!

The earth began to crack!

The entire Baifeng City was trembling violently!

"It's over..."

Countless commoners and Cultivators kneeling on the ground closed their eyes in despair.

They could not bear to watch the miserable scene of flesh and blood flying and the entire family being wiped out that was about to follow.

However.

Facing this world-destroying strike that was enough to make him Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

On Gu Yan's face, instead, appeared a... strange sneer.

His hands suddenly formed an incredibly profound Dharma seal in front of his chest!

"Do you think that I dared to walk out of this door just to... come here to die?!"

His voice was not loud, but it carried a... resolute and confident air that pierced through the clouds!

"Four Symbols Heaven-Locking!"

"Rise for me—!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following his thunderous shout!

Inside the originally calm Gu Garden, the Formation foundation stones that he had long buried in the four cardinal directions, at this moment, simultaneously...

Exploded!

Four dazzling beams of light, shooting straight into the sky, rose without warning from the four corners of Gu Garden!

In the East, a cyan beam of light appeared, with the faint sound of a Dragon roaring; that was... the Azure Dragon!

In the South, a crimson beam of light appeared, with flames soaring to the sky; that was... the Vermilion Bird!

In the West, a white beam of light appeared, with awe-inspiring Killing Intent; that was... the White Tiger!

In the North, a black beam of light appeared, heavy as a mountain; that was... the Black Tortoise!

The four beams of light instantly converged above Baifeng City!

Countless profound golden runes swirled, intertwined, and connected between the beams of light!

Finally, they transformed into a massive, iridescent, and seemingly tangible... four-colored light curtain!

Like a giant inverted glass bowl, it completely protected the entire Gu Garden, along with Gu Yan who was standing outside the gate!

[It's here! It's here!]

In his mind, the System's excited commentary exploded at the perfect moment!

[System production, must be a premium product! This is the legendary top-tier defensive fortification for the novice village — — [Four Symbols Heaven-Locking Array]!]

[It comes with four major special effects: Counter-shock, Spirit Gathering, Illusion, and Defense! Although it can't block a Golden Core old monster from bombing it continuously, at least... it can let you die with a bit more dignity!]

[No! It's to give you a chance to... counterattack!]

[Host! Do him! Don't be a coward! Just do it!]

The moment the Great Formation took shape!

That black giant palm, which covered the sky and obscured the sun, also finally...

Fell!

Boom—!

A terrifying loud noise, sufficient to make the entire Heaven and Earth deaf, exploded above Gu Garden!

In that instant.

The entire Baifeng City seemed to have experienced a magnitude 12 earthquake!

Countless houses collapsed, and the ground cracked in countless places!

However.

At the very center of the dust and violent spiritual power.

That seemingly weak light curtain, flowing with four-colored runes, although it shook violently under this terrifying strike and even emitted an unbearable groan, and its light dimmed by several points.

But...

It, after all, was...

Blocking it!

The black giant palm, after stalemating with the light curtain for a few breaths, finally collapsed due to a lack of follow-up power, turning into black Qi that filled the sky and dissipated without a trace!

And Gu Garden under the light curtain, except for a few large trees that were shaken and broken, was actually...

Unharmed!

Gu Yan was still standing outside the gate.

His robes were blown loudly by the gale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth; this was caused by the backlash of the Great Formation.

But he still stood tall like a pine, his gaze like lightning, staring fixedly at Golden Core Master Wu Yong in the sky, a mocking arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Golden Core Master... is nothing more than this!"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The people of Baifeng City, who had originally closed their eyes waiting for death, did not wait for the expected collapse of Heaven and Earth after hearing this loud noise.

They opened their eyes tremblingly, and then...

Everyone's expression froze.

What did they see?

Blocked... it was blocked?

That Gu Family actually blocked... Golden Core Master's world-destroying strike?!

"This... what kind of Formation is this?!"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord, who had already been in despair, jumped up from the ground, looking at the iridescent light curtain above Gu Garden in disbelief, his eyes full of shock and ecstasy!

"The power of the Four Symbols... could this be the legendary... Profound Grade High Grade Formation?!"

Tianyi Chamber of Commerce, top floor.

President Jin Yuanbao watched that scene, his fat body trembling violently, complex light flashing in his eyes.

"I bet correctly... I bet correctly..."

He muttered to himself.

"This Gu Yan... is indeed a... Prodigy!"

High above.

Golden Core Master Wu Yong's face, originally full of contempt and cruelty, at this moment, for the first time...

Froze.

He looked at the undamaged Gu Garden below, looked at the light curtain flowing with profound runes, and the contempt in his eyes finally...

Turned into a trace of unprecedented...

Solemnity.

"Four Symbols Formation?"

"I didn't expect that in this small borderland, there would actually be someone... who understands such a profound Formation!"

His voice became increasingly cold, and his Killing Intent became increasingly intense.

"Very good."

"You have successfully... angered this Seat."

"Since you want to play, then this Seat... shall play with you properly!"

He was not discouraged because his strike did not hit.

In his view, although this Formation was strong, it was just a tree without roots and water without a source.

How many of his attacks could a Formation hosted by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator block?

As long as he broke this turtle shell, the people inside would still be...

On a dead end!

However, he did not know.

For Gu Yan.

This [Four Symbols Heaven-Locking Array] was never a turtle shell used for passively taking a beating.

It was a net.

A... net used to hunt gods and demons...

A net of death!

Gu Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his hands formed a seal again, and his eyes flashed with a crazy light.

"First round, over."

"Next..."

"It's my turn!"
