When Fang Yunlong saw the Old Man Gu and the middle-aged scholar enter the array, he immediately activated the array.
Previously, Fang Yunlong was blocked by a few people at the top of the mountain. There was a cliff behind him, but he had nowhere to retreat to.
Pretending to be seriously injured and appearing exhausted, he could confuse the few of them, causing them to drop their guard and finally fall into his meticulously laid out array formation. Judging from the current situation, his plan was a success. Not only that, he had the chance to make all of them stay behind.
Thinking about that, Fang Yunlong looked at Yimeng who was playing outside of the array, and endured the surging sensation in his mind, again listening to the mysterious and wonderful zither music. After that, he split his thoughts, using the unknown Innate Qi to block the sound of Yimeng's zither as he controlled the array.
This was the high level formation that Fang Yunlong had recently comprehended from the < Encyclopedia of Formations > — the Sky Origin Formation. The Sky Origin Formation did not have many requirements, nor was it very complicated to set up. However, it could only be cast by people who were well versed in array formations.
Before the array was activated, it looked no different from the Nine Palace Formation from the outside. However, after the array was activated, from the outside, it looked like the primal chaos of before the array was opened, and within the array, there were the four seasons.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter cycled through the four seasons. Sometimes, the branches of the red apricot trees would grow hot, sometimes the sun would burn, sometimes the autumn wind would grow cold, and sometimes the snow would drift down into the distant sky. There were waves of killing intent hidden within the changing seasons.
The source of the killing intent came from the person in charge of the formation. Within the Heaven Origin Array, the person in charge of the formation could not be seen, but the person in charge of the formation could appear anywhere in the formation and be concealed by the formation and the four seasons.
It was a fatal blow. In the red and green spring, a willow leaf lightly falls on your shoulder, that may be the sword that takes your life. Similarly, a summer thunderstorm, a autumn fruit, a winter snowflake can become your nightmare.
Perhaps the Sky Origin Array was the Four Seasons Array that the middle-aged scholar's master had mentioned. There was one thing that the middle-aged scholar was right about, but the biggest flaw of this formation was that if the person trapped inside didn't move, then he wouldn't be harmed until the formation was fully activated.
Fang Yunlong quietly watched the motionless Old Man Gu and the middle-aged scholar inside the Heavenly Yuan Array. He was not anxious at all, he slowly increased the might of the Heavenly Yuan Array, like warm water boiling a frog.
The middle-aged scholar suddenly pointed at a red light spot, and said to the old man named Gu: ”Senior Gu, right here, use all your strength. As long as you kill Fang Yunlong, you can break the formation.”
The old man from the Gu family did not dare to be negligent. With a wave of the Long Sword, he activated the Sword Qi which he was most proud of, aiming for the red light spot that appeared in the array.
A sword light flashed, like a shooting star, it moved, and with a ”ding” sound, the Long Sword pierced into Fang Yunlong's Heaven Cleaving Sword Art. A burst of inner strength came forth, causing Fang Yunlong to be forced three steps back, the blood and Qi in his body churning.
Seeing that his attack was effective, the old man surnamed Gu was overjoyed. However, he was also a little confused by the fact that Fang Yunlong was able to block his full power attack due to his heavy injuries. At this time, the middle-aged scholar's anxious voice sounded beside his ear, ”Senior Gu, quickly, continue!”
Old Man Gu hurriedly pierced towards the red light spot, but when the Long Sword pierced through, the red light spot had already disappeared without a trace, the Long Sword pierced into the air, and the scene of the autumn wind blowing in the array appeared. The middle aged man became anxious and quickly tried to find Fang Yunlong's position.
The Sky Origin Formation finally revealed its fangs that had been hidden for a long time and started attacking the two people in the formation.
The autumn wind rustled, leaves fluttered in the air, and the fallen leaves covered the entire sky, causing people to sigh with emotion at the ruthlessness of the autumn sun. The floating leaves gently blossomed in front of the old man with the surname Gu and the middle-aged scholar. They suddenly revealed sharp claws and fangs, and fiercely pounced towards the two.
The old man from the Gu family shouted, and waved the Long Sword, forming a defensive Shield formed by sword light in front of the two of them. The moment the leaves came into contact with the sword light, they were shattered into pieces, and gradually, more and more leaves fell.
The scene in front of his eyes changed, the withered yellow leaves disappeared, and before the old man named Gu could heave a sigh of relief, the cold wind howled like a lion without end. Snowflakes swirled in the air, and the Shield formed from the sword light could not withstand the thin snowflakes.
