336 The Sinister Shangguan Fei
“Now that we’re facing a great enemy, if we don’t deal with the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog, I’m afraid none of us can get the Qing Emperor’s inheritance. Let’s work together to defeat the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog first, and then we can discuss who the inheritance should belong to. How about it? ” Shangguan Fei said in a low voice with a touch of disdain on his face when he saw the changes in the three men.
“I agree!” Liu Youcheng expressed his support.
“I also agree!” Wu Ji patriarch also expressed his opinion.
“My cultivation is the weakest, but I’m willing to do my part!” Gu Mingzhou said hesitantly.
The nine-nether poisonous hedgehog that was chasing after the cave arrived at the entrance of the cave while everyone was talking.
Hundreds and thousands of thorny shadows shot out in an instant, as fast as lightning!
The black shadows were densely packed like a wall of thorns. They pushed forward and attacked Shangguan Fei and the other four.
“Defensive formation!” Shangguan Fei’s expression immediately changed and he lead the attack. He waved his arms and a vast amount of true core strength whizzed out.
The four elements defensive formation was a defensive formation created based on the eight trigrams Formation.
This formation wasn’t a secret formation, but it was the most difficult to crack.
Because its defense was in line with the heavenly Dao, it was extremely strong.
It was also combined with an ancient celestial formation, making it very powerful.
As a result, the four phases of defensive formation had always been able to give the opponent a headache, whether it was used for defense or to break the enemy.
Although Gu Mingzhou had never seen the formation before, he had once assisted the soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty’s bandit suppression operation and had some understanding of the four elements of defense formation.
This formation needed to take up four positions, which were the East of the great peace Azure Dragon, the North of the reunion Black Tortoise, the South of the happiness Vermillion Bird, and the West of the red-mouthed White Tiger!
The East of the great peace Azure Dragon sect was the core of the formation. It was in charge of commanding, adjusting positions, and resisting the enemy.
The Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger were mainly defending and attacking.
He could also keep people with the four of them to support and maintain the stability of the formation.
Shangguan Fei, who was the first to make a move, was suspended in midair. A vast amount of true core strength gushed out madly, forming a circular shield around him, leaving the South, West, and North sides.
It was obvious that he occupied the central position of the Green Dragon.
It was clear that Shangguan Fei, He Youliang, Wu Ji patriarch, and Liu Youcheng had already used this formation.
Even if they didn’t cooperate, they probably had some discussions and plans.
Gu Mingzhou did not even have time to react.
He Youliang, Wu Ji patriarch, and Liu Youcheng had already leaped into the air. As if they had already planned this beforehand, they instantly occupied the West of the White Tiger, the North of the Black Tortoise, and the South of the Vermillion Bird.
In the blink of an eye, only the support’s position was left.
The position used for swimming and closing in was left for Gu Mingzhou.
Was it a coincidence that Gu Mingzhou, who had the weakest cultivation, was in charge of the most important part of the enemy’s attack, or was it a hidden intention?
“Mingzhou, my young friend, hurry up and take the position. If the formation fails, I’m afraid it won’t be able to stop this wave of attacks from the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog!” while Gu Mingzhou was hesitating and doubting, Shangguan Fei, who had made the first move, urged him nervously.
The shadows of the thorns filled the entire cave, forming a wall of thorns. Those who remained could only block and had no chance of dodging.
Gu Mingzhou did not dare to hesitate any longer. He watched as the swift and violent thorny wall was about to come.
If they were to delay any longer, everyone present would probably suffer.
He instantly opened his arms and released some of the spiritual energy that he had just recovered from the Qing Emperor’s inheritance. In an instant, the spiritual energy of the others was fused together.
With the support of the other four, the light shield Shangguan Fei had released earlier expanded immediately. Light flowed and ultimately formed an impenetrable, hard light shield.
The coldly shining wall of thorns immediately attacked, instantly crashing into the four elements’ defense array.
Bang!
A loud noise rang out in the narrow cave space. The Echo rumbled, the mountain shook, and gravel rolled down.
The wall of thorns, which contained the cultivation of the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog, was blocked by the defensive formation formed by the five of them, despite its ferocity. It was gradually destroyed following the loud noise.
However, even though the four elements’ defensive formation was able to block this ferocious attack, it still shook violently and its light flickered.
The five people’s expressions changed.
Shangguan Fei even waved his arms, constantly adjusting the spiritual energy that gushed out of the five people’s bodies to maintain the formation and block the attacks.
Before the thorns disappeared, they still contained a wave of majestic inner strength, which directly overflowed into the formation, causing everyone to suffer a shock.
This was especially so for Gu Mingzhou, who stood at the forefront of the formation and controlled its flow.
He was almost the first to be attacked.
As soon as the wall of thorns hit the formation, a huge pressure suddenly fell on Gu Mingzhou, forcing him to use all his strength to support it.
After blocking the first wave of thorns, Gu Mingzhou had no ability to resist the spiritual energy that seeped into the formation. He was hit on the body without any resistance.
“Pfft!”
Fresh blood spurted out of his mouth like clear water.
After the array blocked the wall of thorns, Gu Mingzhou could no longer hold on. He lost control of his body and flew out of the range of the four elements’ defense array, falling straight down.
“My young friend, Mingzhou!”
Shangguan Fei, who was in control of the formation, instantly noticed Gu Mingzhou’s condition.
To his surprise, Shangguan Fei broke away from the formation and flew toward him quickly, as if he wanted to catch him.
Gu Mingzhou’s heart felt warm.
He didn’t expect that Shangguan Fei would ignore the danger of the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog’s sneak attack and leave the formation to save him at this critical moment.
Even though he was heavily injured, his life could be in danger at any time.
“Ahem, Island Master Shangguan, don’t worry about me. Be careful of the nine-nethers…”
Before he could finish speaking, the anxiety on Shangguan Fei’s face disappeared instantly and was replaced by a sinister smile and the smugness of his scheme succeeding.
“Not good!”
Shangguan Fei’s sudden change made Gu Mingzhou, who had just put down his guard, have an ominous premonition in his mind.
Shangguan Fei’s right hand, which had been about to catch Gu Mingzhou, suddenly turned into a palm, and his spiritual energy burst out and hit Gu Mingzhou.
The wind from the palm attack came.
Gu Mingzhou, who was seriously injured, did not have time to block at all. He did not even have the ability to block and was instantly hit in the chest.
Bang!
A soft muffled sound rang out, and blood spurted out of Gu Mingzhou’s mouth again.
Caught off guard, it splashed directly on the sneering Shangguan Fei’s face.
Gu Mingzhou’s falling body suddenly accelerated like a bolt of lightning, and he instantly crashed into the mountain rocks.
Bang!
Broken rocks flew everywhere, and the intense muffled sound echoed in the cave for a long time.
Shangguan Fei flew down from the air, his hands behind his back, staring at the place where Gu Mingzhou had fallen.
Immediately after, He Youliang, Liu Youcheng, and Wu Ji patriarch, who had been maintaining the formation, actually withdrew it.
He floated down from the air and landed behind Shangguan Fei, looking at Gu Mingzhou.
Whether it was Shangguan Fei, He Youliang, Liu Youcheng, or Wu Ji patriarch, all of them had sinister smiles on their faces.
“Island Master Shangguan is indeed a wise man. This kid has really become our prisoner without any ability to resist!” He Youliang, who was standing behind Shangguan Fei, complacently flattered him with a smile.
