Seeing Xiao Zhan's frenzied appearance, Zhou Xuan knew that this battle was inevitable.

He took a deep breath, and the energy within his body suddenly erupted, shattering the ice crystals on his body!

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xuan ripped open his military uniform, revealing the Central Plains flag beneath. He waved his hand and shouted:

"Form ranks!"

At Zhou Xuan's command, the military awakened individuals who had been watching from afar instantly rushed forward like arrows released from a bow.

They had long been eager to lend a helping hand, and upon hearing the order, they naturally did not hesitate.

As the military personnel took their positions, they leaned slightly forward, stretched out their hands, and formed a tight formation.

A golden energy flowed through everyone's body, like a rushing river, eventually converging together:

"Formation complete!" the military personnel shouted in unison.

Dozens of golden chains burst forth from the formation, weaving together into a massive net.

The golden net appeared and disappeared in mid-air, exuding a dangerous aura that made everyone's heart tremble.

After completing the formation, Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips:

"Hmph, Xiao Zhan, do you think you can stand up against so many people?"

"I'm going to take this dragon vein today."

He didn't want to use his numerical advantage to suppress others, but it would be too early to use his trump card now.

After all, there are still many hidden forces that have not yet made a move.

Zhou Xuan was confident that he could successfully seize the dragon vein using this grand formation.

Although these military awakened individuals were not the strongest, their teamwork was seamless.

Once they formed a formation, they were more than capable of dealing with most of the awakened beings within the Central Plains.

This is also the team that General Zhou Zhenbei specially trained in order to successfully acquire this dragon vein.

Moreover, Zhou Xuan also learned that another general from Zhongzhou, Zhao Deyang, had used a similar method.

Using this method, Zhao Deyang successfully suppressed all other contenders after forming the formation, ultimately allowing his disciple to gain the dragon vein's recognition alone.

Looking at the golden array before him, Zhou Xuan inwardly mocked himself.

He originally thought he could win the dragon vein with his own strength, but in the end, everything was developing according to General Zhou Zhenbei's plan.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan, who had originally planned to exchange his life with Zhou Xuan, stopped what he was doing.

Xiao Zhan looked up and stared at the golden chains that made up the great array.

It seems that each chain contains powerful energy, which intertwines to form a powerful suppressive force.

Under the pressure of the great formation's energy, the chill around Xiao Zhan was forcibly dispelled, the ice cones in the sky began to melt and fall, and the ice crystals on the swamp began to crack!

Even if Xiao Zhan was reckless, he understood at this moment.

Faced with such a formidable force, if he chooses to continue fighting desperately, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Zhou Xuan saw that Xiao Zhan opposite him had not moved for a long time, and a cold smile appeared on his lips:

"Xiao Zhan, there's no need to look anymore, you've already lost!"

He gripped the broken spear, pointed it at Xiao Zhan's chest, and said condescendingly:

“If you withdraw to the North now, I can pretend that today’s events never happened.”

At this moment, all those around who were also preparing to compete for the dragon vein noticed the positions of Zhou Xuan and the military personnel.

The grand formation seemed to have formed an encirclement, tightly enveloping the dragon vein within it.

"This formation is not right..."

Yun Che was the first to notice something amiss, and couldn't help but frown. He immediately harnessed his purple aura to step forward and questioned him:

"Zhou Xuan, do you intend to monopolize the dragon vein?"

"Why not?" Zhou Xuan couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, and asked in return:

"I have the strength, the backing, and the support of the Central Plains Military Command. Moreover, I am currently standing at the core of the great formation, so I naturally have the right to possess this dragon vein all to myself!"

Rain fell on the Central Plains banner on Zhou Xuan's shoulder. He looked around, the broken spear in his hand pointing at the crowd around him:

"Now, I'm clearing the area—anyone not involved, get out!"

Zhou Xuan's voice was like thunder, leaving no room for negotiation.

As soon as the words were spoken, the awakened members of the military in the formation unleashed their energy simultaneously.

In an instant, a golden chain array descended from the sky.

That terrifying suppressive force, like Mount Tai crushing an egg, instantly enveloped the entire area!

"Buzz—!"

After a loud metallic buzzing sound.

Those awakened individuals above the swamp immediately felt their supernatural abilities sluggish, as if trapped in quagmire!

Every flow of energy is like struggling in viscous mud.

Some weaker Awakened Ones lost control of their abilities altogether, plummeting straight down from the sky and crashing awkwardly into the shattered ice.

"Zhou Xuan! What do you mean?!" Blood Moon's eyebrows shot up as she questioned him.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xuan gave a disdainful sneer, his smile filled with arrogance and conceit.

He deliberately dragged out his words, emphasizing each syllable:

"It means—"

"Here, I'm in charge!"

Before Zhou Xuan could finish speaking, Xue Yue's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent. With a powerful kick of her long leg, she charged towards Zhou Xuan.

At the same time, the blood-red fan in her hand suddenly unfolded with a "whoosh," like a blooming blood-red flower.

Countless hidden weapons swarmed out like a swarm of bees leaving their hive, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds, raining down on the military awakened individuals maintaining the great formation.

When Zhou Xuan saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

“I see…” A suppressed chuckle escaped his throat.
