Chapter 747: Grand Formation

"Uncle Cheng, I can handle it myself, you don't have to do anything." Xia Liuchuan said.

"I'm sorry, old man can't wait any longer." Ah Cheng said as he continued to walk towards Taihe Gate. He soon passed through Taihe Gate and saw Zhou Wen who was fighting with Xia Xinyue.

"Xiaoyue, please step back and leave this to me." Acheng said.

"Uncle Cheng, I can handle it myself." Xia Xinyue replied.

"This is the old man's order." Acheng said.

When Xia Xinyue heard the three words "old man", she had to withdraw from the battle circle and go to Acheng's side.

Ah Cheng stretched out his hand and a strange yellow paper talisman appeared in his hand. As soon as the yellow paper talisman appeared, golden runes lit up on the ground in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and in an instant the huge space was enveloped in golden light.

Zhou Wen suddenly felt as if he was trapped in a huge whirlpool. The vital energy in his body was sucked out and flowed rapidly into the whirlpool.

It wasn't just Zhou Wen himself, the same was true for the companion pets he summoned. The vitality of the Golden Overlord Sword and the young Medusa was also rapidly depleting.

The same went for the petrified Xia family disciples and their epic companion pet swords; they received no extra care.

Zhou Wen quickly put away Medusa and the Golden Overlord Sword, and at the same time switched his Qi Jue to Dao Jue, and the Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing also appeared in his consciousness.

This kind of formation is similar to the time bomb of the explosive demon. Both need to be prepared in advance. Obviously, the Xia family is very careful and has prepared everything long ago. Even if Xia Liuchuan cannot win, they will still put Zhou Wen to death.

The Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing emerged, and Zhou Wen suddenly felt that the vital energy in his body stopped leaking out. With a thought, he took back the Tyrant Behemoth that was fighting with Xia Liuchuan.

Tyrant Behemoth's absolute power time is almost up, and there is no point in continuing the battle.

"We agreed on a duel. Isn't it too shameless for your Xia family to do this?" Zhou Wen pretended to be horrified and struggled to back away.

Ah Cheng said calmly, "It was you who didn't go to the duel, so how can you blame our Xia family for not keeping their promise?"

"Okay, you are so cruel, isn't it enough that I admit defeat? Stop your formation." Zhou Wen shouted as he retreated. He was already very close to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only less than fifty meters away. If he was any closer, he would be able to jump onto the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But Zhou Wen didn’t know whether the Hall of Supreme Harmony was the pinnacle of the Forbidden City, and whether he could get rid of this piece of wood.

"It's too late." Acheng said.

"It's easy for you to take my life, but don't you even want the lives of tens of thousands of Xia family disciples?" Zhou Wen said, pointing at the petrified Xia family disciples.

Because the young girl Medusa was taken back by Zhou Wen, their petrified bodies were gradually recovering.

Xia Xianyue couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that they were not dead. Just now she thought Zhou Wen had killed those people and was extremely angry. Now she realized that Zhou Wen did not really kill them.

However, like Zhou Wen, they were trapped in the formation, and without the protection of the Supreme Heavenly Sutra, their vital energy was constantly devoured by the formation. Before the petrification on their bodies completely disappeared, their vital energy was almost sucked dry.

"Uncle Cheng, stop it. If you continue, they will all die." Xia Liuchuan walked over and said.

Ah Cheng shook his head: "Until Zhou Wen is dealt with, the formation cannot be closed."

Zhou Wen was still retreating and had already retreated to the edge of the formation, but the light shield formed at the edge of the formation blocked his way. The thin layer of golden light was actually like a solid wall of steel. Zhou Wen tried to hit it with all his strength several times, but was unable to break it open.

Moreover, as long as the vital energy hits the light shield, it will be immediately absorbed by the light shield, and the defense will become stronger.

Zhou Wen was better off, as his vitality was not really sucked away.

But it was different for the Xia family disciples. They were almost being sucked dry. Some of them had already gotten rid of their petrification and rushed to the edge of the formation, but like Zhou Wen, they could not break through the light shield no matter how hard they tried.

Soon, their vital energy was sucked dry. Even after that, the formation did not let them go. Their energy and spirit were also drawn out after their vital energy was exhausted.

Their bodies are aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they look extremely terrifying.

Many Xia family disciples screamed in fear and struggled to break out of this hellish formation.

Xia Xinyue's expression was complicated. She had never thought that she would see such a scene, and she was also partly responsible for these people becoming like this.

If she had not been unable to stop Zhou Wen, Ah Cheng would not have taken action, and the tens of thousands of Xia family disciples would not have been trapped in the formation.

"Uncle Cheng, I'm sorry!" Xia Xianyue gritted her teeth and suddenly swung her sword, stabbing it into the yellow paper talisman hanging in front of Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng never expected that Xia Xianyue beside him would actually draw her sword. He was completely unprepared and the yellow paper talisman was pierced by the sword light.

As the yellow paper talisman shattered, the golden light of the formation suddenly collapsed, the light shield disappeared, and the golden runes on the ground also dimmed.

"Xiao Yue...you..." Ah Cheng's face changed drastically. He was not worried that the formation would be broken and Zhou Wen would be released, but there was another reason.

Xia Liuchuan also had a look of horror on his face. He turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate tower, and his body trembled immediately. Old Man Xia, who was originally sitting on the city gate tower watching the battle, had disappeared.

When he turned around, he found that Old Master Xia was standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Wen was about to force his way through the light shield, but he found that the light shield suddenly disappeared. He was overjoyed and wanted to rush to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but a figure appeared in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony as if by teleportation, stood at the end of the steps, and blocked his way.

Zhou Wen took a closer look and saw that the man had a strong body, probably about two meters tall, with completely white hair, and looked like an old man. However, his aura was very powerful, and he did not look like an old man at all.

Zhou Wen's heart was beating fast, as if he sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Who told you to destroy the formation without permission?" Old Master Xia didn't look at Zhou Wen, but instead his gaze fell on Xia Xinyue.

"Grandpa, Xinyue didn't mean it. She just couldn't bear to see the Xia family's disciples die..." Xia Liuchuan hurriedly pulled Xia Xinyue to kneel down and admit her mistake.

"Really?" Old Master Xia glanced expressionlessly at the Xia family disciples who had been drained of their vitality and had escaped by chance.

Suddenly, Old Man Xia stretched out his hand and grabbed Xia Xinyue's body as if it was grabbed by an invisible big hand. In an instant, she was pulled in front of Old Man Xia and his son, and was grabbed by Old Man Xia's hand on the top of her head.

And above the earth, the golden runes appeared again, and the formation started to work again, trapping everyone inside again.
