Withstanding the Might of the Formation

The Ironback Turtle opened its mouth wide and a jet of water shot into the sky.

The water column was shattered instantly by Su Gan's flying sword, turning into countless water droplets that fell from the sky.

However, the flying sword was also struck by the water column, causing its speed to drop sharply and its power to be greatly reduced.

Su Gan disregarded the cost of his Law Power and activated the flying sword once more.

Qingyan Daoist watched Su Gan continuously urge his flying sword to slash at the Ironback Turtle, a smile appeared on her lips.

It's no use!

It is impossible for an ordinary Golden Core Early Stage cultivator to break through the Ironback Turtle's defenses; they will only waste their Law Power.

Given Su Gan's condition, it was impossible for him to sustain an attack for an extended period; his aged body couldn't withstand it for long.

Although Qingyan Daoist was injured, she had already taken healing pills and pills to replenish her Law Power. As long as she refined the pills, her condition would gradually recover.

With the tides turning and the Ironback Turtle aiding her, she will be able to capture Su Gan alive with ease.

Suddenly, Qingyan Daoist nun noticed that the array barrier covering the valley was rapidly shrinking towards her location.

A bad feeling crept into Qingyan Daoist's heart.

She hurriedly stopped refining the elixir and urged the Ironback Turtle to leave.

However, she was already inside the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation>. As long as the formation was not broken, no matter which direction she went, she would always be within the formation's range.

The Qingyan also noticed this.

Su Gan's plan was to trap her in the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation>, using the power of the formation to wear her and the Ironback Turtle, and finally capture them alive.

Realizing this, Qingyan naturally refused to sit idly by and wait for her death.

At this point, the area covered by the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation> was only about two miles, but the <Devouring Essence Array> was also within its coverage area.

The Qingyan ordered the Ironback Turtle to head towards the western section of the Devouring Essence Array.

The Devouring Essence Array concerns Su Gan's lifespan, so Su Gan is hesitant to include it within the Four Symbols Reversal Formation Devouring Essence Array. Otherwise, activating the Four Symbols Reversal Formation to attack Qingyan Daogu would inevitably cause irreparable damage to the Devouring Essence Array.

The western section of the <Devouring Essence Array> is used to devour the life force of Rogue Cultivators, unlike the eastern section which has a strong suppressive effect, allowing her to move freely within it.

Su Gan instantly saw through Qingyan Daoist's intention. He mobilized all his Law Power and fully activated his flying sword, unleashing his strongest attack.

In an instant, the flying sword flashed with silver light, its Sword Qi energy crisscrossing, slashing towards the Ironback Turtle with lightning speed, like a falling meteor.

The Ironback Turtle sensed the terrifying power emanating from the flying sword and a desire to retreat arose within it.

The power of this sword strike was too great; its exposed limbs, head, and tail could not withstand it.

Just as the flying sword was about to strike the Ironback Turtle's head, the Ironback Turtle sensed a life-threatening situation and retracted all its limbs into its shell.

"Boom!"

The flying sword struck the tortoise shell.

A clearly visible transparent shield appeared on the tortoise shell, making it difficult for the rampant Sword Qi on the flying sword to penetrate into the shell.

However, the immense power unleashed by the flying sword sent the Ironback Turtle flying backward, along with Qingyan nun who was hiding beneath its body, flying dozens of meters backward as well.

Damn it!

Qingyan nun cursed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Wenshi quickly shrank the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation> to a range of 100 meters.

Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Gan and Su Wenshi had both left the formation's range, leaving only Qingyan Daogu and the Ironback Turtle trapped inside.

Outside the formation, Su Gan laughed loudly.

"Su Wenshi, well done! Activate the formation to attack Qingyan and the giant tortoise, exhausting their Law Power."

"Yes!"

Su Wenshi faced the Formation Plate in front of him and continuously made Method Formula.

The <Four Symbols Reversal Formation> suddenly unleashed gusts of wind, like countless sharp blades, which relentlessly swept towards Qingyan Daoist and the Ironback Turtle.

A fierce wind swept in from all directions. The Ironback Turtle retracted its limbs and hid inside its shell, which pressed Qingyan Daoist down and protected her firmly.

About half an incense stick later, the gale began to gradually weaken.

Su Gan looked at Su Wenshi with an icy expression, "Why weaken the power of the formation?"

Su Wenshi looked trembling with fear. "Reporting to the Ancestor, the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation> is only at the third level. My cultivation is insufficient to activate it for an extended period."

Upon hearing this, Su Gan's face turned furious. "The Su Clan has raised you for over two hundred years in vain, and you're utterly useless! Give me the Formation Plate."

Having exerted all his strength to activate the flying sword, Su Gan's old body was somewhat overwhelmed. At this moment, his internal Law Power was surging, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face.

Su Gan did not want to use his Law Power.

However, Su Wenshi's spiritual power was insufficient, so he had to personally activate the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation>.

Amidst Su Gan's insults, a murderous glint flashed deep in Su Wenshi's eyes. However, his expression remained unchanged as he lightly tossed the Formation Plate in his hand toward Su Gan.

Su Gan raised his hand and caught the Formation Plate that Su Wenshi threw to him, and began to activate the array.

Within the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation>, the gale-force winds rose again, their power several times stronger than before.

A thin shield lit up on the Ironback Turtle's shell, blocking out all the gale-force winds.

As the fierce winds continued to batter the shield, it began to tremble, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The Ironback Turtle alone could not withstand the power of the formation.

The shield shattered suddenly.

A fierce wind blew in through the cracks in the turtle's shell, like countless tiny knives, constantly tearing at the Ironback Turtle's flesh.

The Ironback Turtle, in pain, became agitated.

Sensing the Iron-Shell Tortoise's unease, Qingyan Daoist nun pointed to the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation> barrier more than ten meters away and shouted.

"Slam the barrier with all your might!"

The Iron-Shell Tortoise knew it couldn't just sit and wait to die.

It stretched out its four limbs, which were instantly torn apart by the gale. Despite the excruciating pain, it exerted all its strength with its limbs and leaped out, using its sturdy tortoise shell to crash into the array barrier.

"Boom!"

The array barrier shook violently, and the Iron-Shell Tortoise was forced back by the recoil.

Outside the formation, Su Gan's face was deathly pale, and his Blood Qi was surging.

The Iron-Shell Tortoise possessed immense strength, crashing into the array barrier and nearly breaking it. Su Gan mobilized all his magical Law Power to stabilize the array, which further strained his already overburdened body, bringing him to the brink of collapse.

Inside the formation.

A small blue Squad Commander floated in front of Qingyan Daoist, emitting bursts of Qingyan light that enveloped her.

The fierce gale swept into the range of the blue light, and its power was immediately reduced.

However, the azure light could not completely counteract the gale, and Qingyan erected another Law Power shield, struggling to hold on. This also caused her Law Power to be rapidly depleted.

The reason why Qingyan Daoist only allowed the Iron-Shell Tortoise to counterattack now was that she knew Su Gan could not sustain the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation> for long. She waited until his physical body was about to reach its limit before launching a desperate counterattack.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Iron-Shell Tortoise kept ramming against the great array barrier, causing the barrier to shake violently. The Iron-Shell Tortoise's injuries continued to worsen, and its aura gradually weakened.

The Gang Qi surged in through the cracks in the turtle's shell, leaving the body of the Iron-Shell Tortoise a bloody mess. Most of the flesh on its limbs had been scraped away, revealing bare white bones.

The Iron-Shell Tortoise is on the verge of death.
