While Xia Liuchuan was holding back Old Master Xia, Zhou Wen finally reached the roof ridge of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When he raised the log to the highest point, Zhou Wen knew that it was the right place.
After the log stood on the roof ridge, it seemed to be attracted by a magnet. Zhou Wen didn't need to support it, and it didn't fall.
It's done! Zhou Wen was delighted as he took two steps back. The word "slave" didn't appear on his forehead again.
Zhou Wen didn't have the time to see if there were any other changes to the log because Xia Liuchuan was about to be sucked to death by Old Master Xia.
Old Master Xia's hand grabbed Xia Liuchuan's head as Xia Liuchuan's Essence Energy and essence rapidly surged into Old Master Xia's body.
Originally, Xia Liuchuan's life had nothing to do with Zhou Wen, but if Old Master Xia absorbed Xia Liuchuan's strength to advance to the Mythical stage, it would be even more difficult to deal with him.
Furthermore, if Xia Liuchuan hadn't held back Old Master Xia, it would have been very difficult for him to escape Old Master Xia and stand the log on the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Without the log's restriction, Zhou Wen felt much more relaxed. Doctor Darkness possessed him and pulled out the Bamboo Blade. Transcendent Flying Immortal instantly appeared in front of Old Master Xia and slashed at Old Master Xia's hand that was grabbing Xia Liuchuan.
Old Master Xia's other hand had blocked the Bamboo Blade at a critical moment.
With the protection of the black jade armor, the Bamboo Blade failed to injure his hand. However, this was within Zhou Wen's expectations. He held the Orchid Blade in his other hand and slashed at Old Master Xia's neck from a strange angle.
Old Master Xia had no choice but to let go of Xia Liuchuan and grab the Orchid Blade with his other hand.
Zhou Wen's movement technique changed as he flew in the air, preventing Old Master Xia's hand from touching his blade. With a long and short blade in hand, he slashed at Old Master Xia from all sorts of strange angles.
He didn't dare use Essence Energy Skills and purely relied on his strength to attack. Although the Heaven and Earth Origin-Returning Array had been broken, Old Master Xia had the ability to absorb all kinds of Essence Energy. Even an Essence Energy Skill with powerful offensive strength like the Golden Sword Aura could be directly absorbed by him for his own use. Other Essence Energy Skills were even more useless.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen's movement technique didn't require him to release his Primordial Energy. Otherwise, he would have been sucked in by Old Master Xia.
Outside Forbidden City, Zhang Chunqiu and Dugu Ge were already dumbfounded. Previously, with the Heaven and Earth Origin-Returning Array enveloping them, they had no idea what had happened inside.
After the array was destroyed by Zhou Wen, they could finally see the situation inside.
However, when they saw Xia Liuchuan being beaten up by Old Master Xia and Zhou Wen helping him out, they were momentarily shocked. Furthermore, more than ten thousand Xia family members had fallen to the ground. They had no idea what had happened.
Zhou Wen pushed Transcendent Flying Immortal to its limits. With Doctor Darkness strengthening his body, his speed was much faster than a Mythical creature like Six-Winged.
However, his twin sabers did not touch Old Master Xia at all.
Path to Snatching Heaven! Zhou Wen recognized that the movement technique Old Master Xia used was Path to Snatching Heaven.
Zhou Wen wasn't surprised that Old Master Xia knew how to use Path to Snatching Heaven. Furthermore, Old Master Xia's Path to Snatching Heaven was stronger than Xia Xuanyue's. Clearly, he had long reached the Mythical stage.
However, this movement technique was somewhat different from what Xia Xuanyue had cultivated. It was several times stronger than Xia Xuanyue's. Even Zhou Wen's Mythical Transcendent Flying Immortal paled in comparison.
What was even more frightening was that Master Xia was not only proficient in movement techniques. His various techniques seemed to have reached a terrifying level of achievement. Every ordinary move seemed like a stroke of genius in his hands. It was as if every move and every technique had reached the godly level.
Zhou Wen was completely suppressed in a short period of time. Be it technique or Strength, he was unable to fight Old Master Xia head-on.
If he hadn't been familiar with the profundities of Path to Snatching Heaven, he would have long been injured by Old Master Xia.
With his understanding of Path to Snatching Heaven and the wonders of Transcendent Flying Immortal, Zhou Wen was barely able to maintain an undefeated state.
This monster is a monster. How can someone cultivate all the techniques to the Mythical stage? Is he still human? Zhou Wen knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate a technique to the Mythical stage.
After cultivating for so long, he had only cultivated Transcendent Flying Immortal to the Mythical stage. Xia Liuchuan was about ten years older than him, but he had only cultivated Sword Escape to the Mythical stage.
As for Old Master Xia in front of him, he gave Zhou Wen the feeling that he was omnipotent. It was as though any technique would become an unparalleled divine technique in his hands.
Even without using any Primordial Energy Skills, Zhou Wen was almost out of breath from the pressure.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen was a person who became calmer in adversity. It wasn't easy for him to make mistakes. He was constantly searching for an opportunity to defeat Old Master Xia.
Typical Companion Beast attacks weren't of much use against someone like Old Master Xia who could devour Essence Energy Skills. Physical attacks were considered more effective against him.
However, now that he had the Guardian armor, it was like adding wings to a tiger. Typical Mythical Companion Beasts probably posed no threat to him.
Tyrant Behemoth was originally a better choice, but unfortunately, it had just used Absolute Strength not long ago, so it couldn't be used again for the time being.
After some thought, Zhou Wen realized that among his Companion Beasts, the only ones that could pose a threat to Old Master Xia were Torch Dragon's Bright Torch Vision World, Demonic Neonate's Demonic Sword, and Truth Listener who had activated multiple earrings.
However, it was only effective and not necessarily useful. Therefore, Zhou Wen had to find a suitable opportunity to use Torch Dragon's Bright Torch World. He only wanted to kill Old Master Xia in one strike and not give him any chance.
His flesh tore as Old Master Xia's fingertips brushed past Zhou Wen's arm. Immediately, his flesh tore open and blood flowed out. If Zhou Wen had dodged any slower, his arm would have been severed.
Fighting someone whose movement techniques weren't slower than yours, whose attacks were more ruthless than yours, and whose moves were more ingenious than yours would be extremely stressful for anyone. As long as one wasn't careful, they might be killed in one strike.
There was no replay option in-game in reality, so Zhou Wen didn't dare be careless. He would rather be injured than take the risk of being killed in one strike.
"You are indeed different. I wouldn't find it strange if I saw such movement techniques and endurance on an old man in his seventies or eighties, but you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. To think that you can do this. If you don't die, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to An Tianzuo's," Old Master Xia said calmly as he attacked.
In fact, he shouldn't be called Old Master Xia anymore. This was because his current appearance was almost the same as a man in his thirties. There were no signs of aging on him at all.
With a majestic figure, domineering aura, and invincible combat strength, such a terrifying existence made people feel invulnerable.
Blood splattered as another wound appeared on Zhou Wen's back.
"I'll help you." Xia Liuchuan struggled to stand up, but his injuries were too severe. He even staggered as he walked. Only his sword-wielding hand remained stable.
Xia Liuchuan wanted to throw his sword at Old Master Xia, but before he could do so, Old Master Xia had already struck out with his palm, sending Xia Liuchuan flying with his sword.
"It's now." Zhou Wen instantly released his strength as he channeled Transcendent Flying Immortal to its limits. The two sabers transformed into streams of light that criss-crossed with Old Master Xia at the center.
