"Uncle Cheng, I can handle it myself. You don't have to do anything," Xia Liuchuan said.
"Sorry, the Old Master can't wait any longer." As Ah Cheng spoke, he continued walking towards the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Soon, he passed through it and saw Zhou Wen fighting Xia Xuanyue.
"Little Yue, take your leave. Leave this to me," Ah Cheng said.
"Uncle Cheng, I can handle it myself," Xia Xuanyue answered.
"This is the Old Master's order," Ah Cheng said.
When Xia Xuanyue heard the words' Old Master ', she had no choice but to retreat from the battle and come to Ah Cheng's side.
Ah Cheng extended his hand and beckoned. A strange yellow paper talisman appeared in his hand. The moment the yellow paper talisman appeared, golden runes lit up on the ground in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Instantly, the huge space was enveloped in golden light.
Zhou Wen immediately felt as though he had fallen into a huge vortex. The Essence Energy in his body was sucked out and rapidly flowed into the vortex.
It wasn't just Zhou Wen. Even the Companion Beasts he summoned were the same. The Golden Overlord Sword and Medusa's Essence Energy were also rapidly draining.
The petrified Xia family disciples and their Epic Companion Beast swords were the same. They didn't receive any additional care.
Zhou Wen hurriedly unsummoned Medusa and the Golden Overlord Sword. At the same time, he switched his Essence Energy Art to a Dao Sutra. The Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder also appeared in his consciousness.
Such an array formation was similar to Explosive Fiend Man's time bomb. They needed to be prepared in advance. Clearly, the Xia family was very careful and had long prepared everything. Even if Xia Liuchuan couldn't win, he would still kill Zhou Wen.
When the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder appeared, Zhou Wen immediately felt the Essence Energy in his body stop leaking. With a thought, he unsummoned Tyrant Behemoth who was fighting Xia Liuchuan.
Tyrant Behemoth's Absolute Strength was almost up. There was no need to continue fighting.
"We agreed on a duel. Isn't your Xia family too shameless by doing this?" Zhou Wen pretended to be shocked as he struggled to retreat.
Ah Cheng said indifferently, "You were the one who didn't fight. How can you blame our Xia family for not keeping our promise?"
"Alright, you win. I'll admit defeat, alright? Stop your formation. " Zhou Wen shouted as he retreated. He was already very close to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, less than fifty meters away. Any closer and he would be able to jump to the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
However, Zhou Wen didn't know if the Hall of Supreme Harmony was the peak of Forbidden City or if it could free him from this log.
"It's too late," Ah Cheng said.
"It's easy for you to take my life, but don't tell me you don't even want the lives of these ten thousand Xia family members?" Zhou Wen said as he pointed at the petrified Xia family members.
As Medusa was unsummoned by Zhou Wen, their petrified bodies were gradually recovering.
Xia Xuanyue couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw that they weren't dead. She had imagined that Zhou Wen had killed those people and was extremely furious. Only now did she realize that Zhou Wen hadn't really killed them.
However, just like Zhou Wen, they were trapped in the array formation. Furthermore, they didn't have the protection of the Highest Heaven Opening Scripture. The array formation constantly devoured their Essence Energy. Before the petrification on their bodies completely faded, their Essence Energy was almost drained dry.
"Uncle Cheng, stop. If this continues, they will all die," Xia Liuchuan said as he walked over.
Ah Cheng shook his head. "Before we finish Zhou Wen, the array can't be closed."
Zhou Wen was still retreating. He had already retreated to the edge of the array, but the barrier formed by the edge of the array blocked his path. The thin layer of golden light was like an iron wall. Zhou Wen slammed into it a few times with all his might, but he couldn't break through it.
Furthermore, as long as his Essence Energy struck the barrier, it would immediately be absorbed by the barrier, making its defense even stronger.
Zhou Wen was slightly better. His Essence Energy wasn't really sucked away.
However, the Xia family members were different. They were almost sucked dry. Some of them had already removed their petrification and rushed to the edge of the array. However, just like Zhou Wen, they couldn't break through the barrier no matter how hard they tried.
Soon, their Essence Energy was sucked dry. After their Essence Energy was sucked dry, the array didn't let them off. Their essence, vitality, and spirit were also extracted after their Essence Energy was depleted.
Their bodies were aging at a discernible speed, making them look extremely terrifying.
Many of the Xia family disciples screamed in terror as they struggled to break out of the hellish formation.
Xia Xuanyue's expression was complicated. She never expected to see such a scene. Furthermore, she was partly the reason why these people had ended up in such a state.
If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't stop Zhou Wen, Ah Cheng wouldn't have taken action. More than ten thousand Xia family members wouldn't have been trapped in the array.
"Uncle Cheng, I'm sorry!" Xia Xuanyue gritted her teeth and suddenly brandished her sword, stabbing at the yellow talisman floating in front of Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng never expected Xia Xuanyue, who was beside him, to attack. He was caught off guard and the yellow talisman was pierced by the sword beam.
As the yellow talisman shattered, the golden light of the array immediately shattered. The barrier of light vanished and the golden runes on the ground dimmed.
"Little Yue … You …" Ah Cheng's expression changed drastically. He wasn't worried that the array would be broken and release Zhou Wen, but for another reason.
Xia Liuchuan was also alarmed. He turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate and his body immediately trembled. Old Master Xia, who had been watching the battle from the top of the city gate, had vanished.
When he turned around, he realized that Old Master Xia was already standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Wen was about to forcefully break through the barrier of light when he realized that it had suddenly vanished. Just as he was overjoyed and about to rush up the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a figure appeared in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony as though it had teleported. It stood at the end of the steps and blocked his path.
Zhou Wen took a careful look and saw that the person was muscular. He was probably about two meters tall and his hair was completely white. He looked like an old man, but his aura was extremely powerful. He didn't look like an old man at all.
Zhou Wen's heart palpitated as though he sensed an extremely dangerous aura. He couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Who allowed you to destroy the array?" Old Master Xia didn't look at Zhou Wen. Instead, his gaze landed on Xia Xuanyue.
"Old Master, Xuanyue didn't do it on purpose. She just couldn't bear to see the Xia family's disciples die …" Xia Liuchuan hurriedly pulled Xia Xuanyue to kneel down and admit his mistake.
"Is that so?" Old Master Xia expressionlessly glanced at the Xia family disciples who had been sucked dry of their Essence Energy and had luckily escaped.
Suddenly, Old Master Xia reached out and grabbed. Xia Xuanyue's body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand as she was instantly pulled in front of Old Master Xia and his son. Old Master Xia grabbed her head.
On the ground, the golden runes appeared once more. The formation was activated once more, trapping everyone within it once more.
