Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 708 Ancient Formation
Guanglin Prefecture City.

"Your Majesty, we have detected locusts all over the sky fifty miles outside the city, and they are attacking the city at a very fast speed."

Wang Xi reported to Emperor Yongyuan with a serious expression.

"Make sure to keep them out of the city!"

Emperor Yongyuan's order was powerful.

"Come here, put on armor for me."

Tonight, Emperor Yongyuan put on the red dragon robe.

And on top of it, they put on shoulder armor, waist armor, skirt armor and other protective gear.

These armors are all carved with dragon patterns, with black and gold and red embellishing each other, giving off a terrifying aura, and they are obviously extraordinary magic weapons.

Emperor Yongyuan was wearing a pair of crystal clear ice armor gloves.

He slowly clenched his fists and looked at the pair of armor, seeming a little dazed.

"Your Majesty, everyone is ready."

"Go out of the city to fight!"

Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand and floated into the air, flying out of the city.

Several powerful figures followed behind him.

Emperor Yongyuan came outside the city, stood proudly in the air, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Soon after, a shrill buzzing sound rang in their ears, as if it was going to penetrate their eardrums, and even their hearts were buzzing along, which was very annoying.

"My dear nephew, it's really thoughtful of you to welcome me here with such fanfare at this late hour."

From afar, King Zheng's voice floated over.

Emperor Yongyuan did not respond, but spread his arms and recited loudly.

He only read a few words, and his voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the world, instantly drowning out the buzzing sound of the locusts.

"Use the blood of the red dragon to summon the power of yin and yang."

"The name of Daxing changes the world, and the sun and the moon shine together."

Before Emperor Yongyuan could finish reciting, a white figure shot out from the locust swarm like lightning and attacked Emperor Yongyuan directly.

When Emperor Yongyuan saw this scene, he remained motionless. Instead, he stretched out his hands and grasped the air.

Before the white figure approached Emperor Yongyuan, Wang Xi took the lead to stop him.

"How dare you be so rude!"

Wang Xi roared angrily with an astonishing momentum.

The two figures collided head-on, causing a shocking shock wave.

Emperor Yongyuan ignored all this and continued to recite without changing his expression.

"The power of the two saints, bless me."

"Those who disobey the imperial authority will be turned into dust!"

As Emperor Yongyuan chanted, red spots of light emanated from his body, and an exaggerated dragon-swallowing sword condensed in the void.

The hilt of the sword is a coiled red dragon with its huge mouth open and spitting out a golden-red blade.

The length of this Dragon Swallowing Sword is extremely exaggerated. The hilt alone is three or four feet long and can be easily held with both hands. The length of the blade is more than twice that of the hilt.

This style is more like a saber, except that the blade is a straight blade with sharp edges on both sides, and the edge is also extremely sharp.

The Dragon Swallowing Sword has no guard and is shaped like a straight line overall.

But as Emperor Yongyuan tightly grasped the Dragon-Swallowing Sword with both hands, his red dragon robe and the Dragon-Swallowing Sword shone in harmony with each other, emitting a dazzling red light, and then spewing out golden flames.

While the flames protected the body, they were also added to the Dragon Swallowing Sword, forming a cross-shaped flaming gauntlet.

As the word "dust" fell, Emperor Yongyuan tightly grasped the Dragon-Swallowing Sword with both hands and swung it out with force.

The sky was filled with golden flames, illuminating the entire night sky.

The swarm of locusts was like burning confetti, turning into ashes and disappearing in an instant.

Along with the locusts, the annoying buzzing sound also disappeared.

The world became completely quiet with the casual sword strike of Emperor Yongyuan.

The golden flames did not hurt Wang Xi, but they rushed towards Mr. Bai, forcing Mr. Bai to temporarily avoid the attack.

Seeing the locust swarm being wiped out by a single sword, Mr. Bai patted the corner of his clothes that had become hot and whispered:
"The power of the red dragon."

He had been reminded several times by King Zheng to be careful with the royal inheritance power.

Now it seems unusual.

Mr. Bai also found it difficult to judge what Emperor Yongyuan's original strength was.

But the sword just now was already enough to reach the pseudo-heavenly realm.

With this power, it is no wonder that Daxing has been able to be passed down for nearly a thousand years.

In this world where martial arts flourish, strength is the foundation of rule.

As long as this power remains, Daxing will never fall.

"Hahaha……"

At this time, King Zheng laughed heartily and appeared.

Prince Zheng appeared beside Mr. Bai, floating in the air, looking calmly at the now majestic Emperor Yongyuan.

"My dear nephew, is this all the power of the Red Dragon left?"

The smile on Prince Zheng's face made Emperor Yongyuan feel depressed.

Emperor Yongyuan expected that Prince Zheng had the means to deal with the power of the Red Dragon, but he did not expect that he would be so relaxed after he demonstrated his strength.

This battle is not going to be easy.

"My uncle has some urgent matters, so I won't play with you any longer."

"Let's fight quickly."

Prince Zheng looked at Emperor Yongyuan as if he were a child, full of contempt.

……

"What exactly is the evil dragon energy?"

"The formation master under King Zheng said that the dragon vein of Daxing is sealed here."

Li Xuan asked Shinichi.

After all, he has been detained here for three years and should know the situation better.

“It’s an evil force.”

Shinichi first defines the evil dragon's energy.

"Over the past three years, this power has been constantly eroding me. If it weren't for the body protection technique, I wouldn't be able to hold on until today."

"King Zheng placed me at the center of the formation where the evil dragon energy was spreading. I used my power to neutralize this energy and then used it for my own benefit."

After hearing this, everyone understood that Shinichi had been acting as a filter for the past three years.

"What level has King Zheng reached after absorbing this power?" Li Xuan asked nervously.

Emperor Yongyuan had said before that he would block the enemy outside the city.

King Zheng probably dared to rebel because he relied on the power of the evil dragon's spirit.

"I don't know this either."

"For the past three years, I have been in a state of suspended animation, with limited perception of the outside world. I only know that the power of my glass body is constantly being lost."

"If it weren't for the donors who saved me, I would have died here inexplicably."

"Amitabha."

Shinichi said as he chanted a Buddhist chant to them and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Glazed body?"

Li Xuan remembered the light that emanated from Zhenyi's body before.

It turned out that was his body protection technique.

Now it seems that Shinichi doesn't know much more than they do.

Li Xuan bypassed Zhenyi and bravely tried to fiddle with the formation with the hole.

But no matter how Li Xuan tried, he couldn't see the mystery.

As a last resort, he used the Yin-Yang Qi to wake up the unconscious Ren Chunsheng, and then asked him to come over and take a look.

Ren Chunsheng had been dazzled by the light of Zhenyi's body protection technique, and was still a little dizzy after being woken up by Li Xuan.

"There is a formation over there, come with me to take a look."

Li Xuan didn't waste any words and directly transmitted the message.

Ren Chunsheng was brought here in a daze, but when he saw the palm-sized formation, he immediately became alert. "What is this!?"

Ren Chunsheng immediately lay on the ground and studied it carefully.

"This is an ancient formation!"

Ren Chunsheng made a quick judgment.

"What is the ancient formation?"

While studying, Ren Chunsheng explained:

"In ancient times, the formation was extremely powerful, but there was a break in the middle."

"Most of the formations we are using now are simplified versions. Not only are they less powerful than the ancient formations, they are also far less sophisticated."

"Once an ancient formation is set up, it can continue to function even after hundreds or thousands of years without the need for maintenance."

"But our current formation is no longer working. It needs daily maintenance to ensure long-term use."

"Like the various magic weapons we use, there are actually formations engraved on them. The magic weapons handed down from ancient times are more useful than those we have now."

"This is very obvious in common storage magic weapons."

As Ren Chunsheng spoke, he had already looked over this palm-sized formation inside and out several times.

But the more I looked at him, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"How about it?"

"Did you see anything?"

Li Xuan asked anxiously.

The others also looked over, waiting for Ren Chunsheng's answer.

"No, this formation is too sophisticated. I can only see that it has a powerful sealing effect."

"The holes in these formations should have been made later."

"These holes are carefully made, not randomly."

"The person who made the hole tried to maintain the original function of the formation as much as possible while making a small flaw in the formation."

"The person who made the hole must also be an expert in formation."

Ren Chunsheng's judgment reminded Li Xuan of something.

He immediately dragged the unconscious Zhao Fangyuan over and gave him two Meow Fists.

Two clear cat paw marks were left on Zhao Fangyuan's face, and he gradually woke up from his coma.

“Oh, that hurts…”

As Zhao Fangyuan spoke, he felt his cheek hurt more and the back of his head felt sore.

"Tell me, who made the hole here?"

Li Xuan grabbed his collar and asked bluntly.

Zhao Fangyuan looked confused. He looked at the formation so close to him and began to study it subconsciously.

"Hey, an ancient formation?"

Li Xuan stared at Zhao Fangyuan's eyes intently and found that he didn't seem to be pretending, but it seemed like he was really seeing this thing for the first time.

"Useless things!"

Li Xuan cursed inwardly, knowing that this guy was probably going to be unaware of the situation again.

"These holes..."

"You can see that someone deliberately attacked us to weaken the effect of the formation, but they did it very skillfully."

Ren Chunsheng saw that Zhao Fangyuan also noticed the hole in the formation, and couldn't help but join in.

Zhao Fangyuan glanced at Ren Chunsheng and seemed a little surprised.

"That's right. The positions of the holes in these formations are based on our current formation layout and are placed in the current mainstream auxiliary positions."

"This will minimize the effect of the formation and keep it on the safe side."

"If King Zheng wants my sealing formation to seal the escaping energy, then the things underneath are far more terrifying than I imagined."

"Your nine-layer sealing formation is almost unable to hold on, which means it has reached a critical point."

"..."

Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan started an academic discussion with each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Although the others did not understand the art of formation, they also understood one thing.

Something extremely terrifying is sealed beneath this palm-sized formation.

King Zheng had people drill holes in this ancient sealing formation to release the things underneath bit by bit.

No matter what his purpose is, this matter itself is very dangerous.

Once you lose control, you will hurt yourself and others.

But judging from the current results, King Zheng has done quite well. Not only have there been no accidents, he has also gained some power.

Seeing that the two of them were getting off topic, Li Xuan interrupted their discussion and asked directly:

“Can you plug these holes back?”

"Block it back?"

Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan looked at Li Xuan in astonishment, wondering what this little cat was thinking.

"Didn't you just say that these holes weakened the power of the sealing formation?"

"Seal the hole for me and restore the power of the sealing formation."

"No matter what King Zheng wants to do, I will do the opposite of him!"

Li Xuan said firmly.

Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan looked at each other.

The two of them were only concerned with studying the principles of the formation and had never thought of this idea.

This is also because the two formation masters have different thinking patterns from Li Xuan.

They want to figure out this ancient formation through research and then achieve the goal of controlling it.

For a formation master, this is beyond reproach.

After all, such ancient formations are hard to come by, and if they can gain some understanding of them, they will be able to go further with their future formations.

Just like warriors pursue higher realms of martial arts, formation masters also have the same pursuit.

But Li Xuan was different. He just wanted to destroy King Zheng's plan.

What King Zheng wanted to do was not so important to him. What was important was not to let King Zheng succeed.

"This, this is an idea."

Ren Chunsheng agreed with Li Xuan's idea.

"If it's feasible, block it for me immediately."

"Zhao Fangyuan, as long as you are willing to cooperate with Ren Chunsheng to do this, I can forgive the past and even ask Emperor Yongyuan to pardon your crimes."

"But if you fail to do it well, don't worry, I will kill you first and will never let King Zheng have a chance to save you!"

Li Xuan threatened fiercely, causing the cat's claw mark on Zhao Fangyuan's body to fluctuate, making him feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Fangyuan knew that he had the means left by Li Xuan and Nirubail, and for the sake of his own life he did not dare to refuse Li Xuan's request.

"We have to hurry, otherwise when King Zheng arrives and I see something is wrong..."

"I can only say sorry to you in advance."

Li Xuan's words made Zhao Fangyuan swallow nervously.

"Don't be dazed. If we repair it according to the patterns left on the formation, it won't be too difficult."

Ren Chunsheng touched Zhao Fangyuan and asked him to work with him quickly.

Indeed, the method Li Xuan mentioned is much easier.

They don't need to understand every pattern on the formation, they just need to fill in the missing parts of the holes.

As long as they could deduce through the remaining parts of the formation, this matter would not be as difficult as they imagined.

The two formation masters immediately took out their respective formation materials and selected suitable ones to fill the holes in the formation.

Li Xuan felt relieved when he saw the two of them busying themselves.

"I don't know what's going on with Emperor Yongyuan."

The two girls are still in the city, and Li Xuan can't completely let go of his worry.

He was just about to take out the conch shell to contact Emperor Yongyuan when his ears suddenly moved.

"There's movement outside!"
