A detached voice sounded, and Gu Tongtian stepped forward, exuding a chilling aura.
"You know what the Holy City has been doing all these years, don't you!"
City Lord Xue Luo said coldly, "We four cities have been pushed to this point, all because of you!"
"A joke. The four cities rebelled, and then blamed me. That's hardly appropriate, is it!"
Gu Tongtian said coldly, "It's just a pity that you are too weak to fight back!"
"Is that so?"
City Lord Xue Luo sneered, "Do you really think we are so useless?"
"What are you people, daring to oppose me?"
Gu Tongtian laughed heartily, completely unconcerned, as if the people of the four cities were mere playthings in his hands.
"Elder Feng, Zhulong, you are people of my Holy City, are you really going to betray my Holy City?"
Gu Tongtian said coldly, looking at the two figures with a hint of anger.
"There's nothing we can do. Our lives are controlled by the Master, so we can only do this!"
Elder Feng said helplessly, his gaze sharp.
Following these words, Gu Tongtian's expression turned cold, a chilling glint in his eyes.
"City Lord Gu, we don't necessarily need to resort to such drastic measures!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "As long as you are willing, anything can be discussed!"
"Hmph, you killed my Holy City elders, do you think there's still room for discussion?"
Gu Tongtian sneered, his demeanor sharp. Lu Fan's words clearly displeased him greatly.
"There's nothing we can do. If we don't deal with them, we'll be under immense pressure!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "As long as City Lord Gu is willing to talk, there will be no problem!"
"What is there to talk about!"
Elder Bei said coldly, "You dare to come to the Holy City, and you must pay the price you deserve!"
Facing these words, everyone trembled. They hadn't expected Elder Bei to be so imposing.
"Could it be that there's something wrong?"
City Lord Xue Luo asked, "Why do they have such confidence?"
"With an expert at the Eighth Realm of Heavenly Lord presiding, why wouldn't they have confidence!"
Bai Di chuckled awkwardly, feeling very helpless.
He knew very well that some things were not as simple as they seemed, and if a fight broke out, they might not have absolute certainty.
"I have a bad feeling about this!" City Lord Wushuang frowned, looking at everyone with a grave expression.
Following these words, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they simultaneously looked around, indeed sensing an unusual aura.
"Not good, there's a formation hidden here!"
Their expressions shifted dramatically. City Lord Xue Luo exploded backward, and the others did not dare to delay, retreating rapidly.
Rumble!
But suddenly, a rumbling sound erupted. Everyone hastily retreated, their expressions solemn.
"The God-Slaying Formation, how can you easily evade it!"
Gu Tongtian laughed, a chilling tone in his voice. As the God-Slaying Formation activated, a monstrous aura swept across the entire city.
"The God-Slaying Formation? How is this possible!"
City Lord Xue Luo's expression wavered, filled with disbelief. "Years ago, the God-Slaying Formation had already disappeared. How could it reappear!"
"You are too naive. Such a powerful formation, how could I let it disappear!"
Gu Tongtian sneered, "This divine formation, capable of killing even gods, is a supreme treasure!"
"You are truly sinister. Years ago, many of us City Lords destroyed the God-Slaying Formation, yet you managed to repair it!"
City Lord Xue Luo said coldly, "You've been waiting for this day, haven't you!"
"You are mistaken. Even without the God-Slaying Formation, I could have easily dealt with you!"
Gu Tongtian smiled faintly, "However, I am very curious about the power of the God-Slaying Formation, so today you will all become pawns, struggling within it. This is also the retribution for your attempt to exterminate the Holy City!"
"Is there no way to break it?"
Lu Fan frowned. The killing intent within the formation grew stronger. If this continued, everyone would likely perish. Within the God-Slaying Formation, there would be no hope of survival.
"The God-Slaying Formation can kill even gods, so dealing with us is as easy as blowing away dust!" Bai Di said, "It seems we are all going to be buried here today!"
Following these words, everyone's faces turned ashen. They felt a deep sense of unwillingness, never expecting things to turn out this way, catching them completely off guard.
"I truly never imagined we would reach this point!"
City Lord Wushuang sighed with a look of helplessness. He had thought they could strike directly at the heart of the enemy and make them pay the price, but instead, they had arrived at this juncture, which was truly disheartening.
"Everyone, don't give up. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we should persevere!"
Lu Fan said, "Although this is the God-Slaying Formation, we also possess divine artifacts. It's not impossible to break this formation!"
"That's right. I control the Snowfall Ice Staff, and perhaps I can put up a fight!"
City Lord Xue Luo said, "Moreover, young Lu also has a divine artifact in his hands. With this, it might not be the worst outcome for us!"
Following these words, everyone instantly regained their confidence.
As long as they could break the God-Slaying Formation, they could regain their lives, and they would naturally not hesitate.
"It's useless. With your strength, you cannot break the God-Slaying Formation!"
A smile played on Gu Tongtian's lips. He spoke without reservation, with a hint of amusement. As the only expert at the Eighth Realm of Heavenly Lord in the Ancient Desolate World, he naturally possessed his own pride.
"Whether it's useful or not isn't up to you to decide, and our lives are not yours to control!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy. He simultaneously controlled the Haotian Tower and charged towards the God-Slaying Formation. He refused to believe Gu Tongtian's words.
At least in Lu Fan's opinion, no matter how dire the situation, one should never give up. As long as there was a sliver of hope, one could remain steadfast.
At the same time, everyone clearly felt that the aura around Lu Fan was gradually changing, even showing signs of a breakthrough.
"What's going on?"
City Lord Xue Luo frowned, "You're not thinking of breaking through at this moment, are you?"
"It might be a desperate gamble for survival, but it's okay. I'll unleash the Haotian Tower, and you all attack together. That way, I won't have to act myself!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn. He immediately unleashed the Haotian Tower. He was on the verge of a breakthrough and would not let this opportunity pass.
After all, the siege of the Holy City was fraught with danger. If he could break through to the Heavenly Lord realm, perhaps all problems could be solved.
Lu Fan, at the Half-Step Heavenly Lord realm, could already contend with experts at the Seventh Realm of Heavenly Lord using divine artifacts. Such formidable talent was truly extraordinary.
"May you succeed!" City Lord Xue Luo nodded solemnly.
