Behind the main hall, in another relatively smaller square, next to an altar rising from the ground, there was a man sitting cross-legged. He was wearing a purple and gold Taoist robe and holding a circular formation plate in his hand. It was Yuan Tiangang.
His eyes were closed tightly, and a circle of circular light floated beneath him, covering his entire body. One hand held the white jade array plate that was densely engraved with runes, and the other hand held two fingers pointing at the center of the array plate.
The pure magic power in his body condensed into colorful dazzling lights, which were continuously transferred into the circular array.
Not far away, there was another figure wearing a gray-white robe, holding a peach wood sword in one hand and an octagonal bronze mirror in the other, fighting with a dark evil demon.
His appearance was exactly the same as Yuan Tiangang's, with a layer of white light covering his body, making him look radiant and aura-filled.
The upper body of the evil demon that was fighting with them was no different from that of humans, but the lower body was a snake tail that was several feet long, which supported the body and allowed it to move flexibly on the ground at a swift and agile speed.
In his hands he held a pair of peculiarly shaped black jade swords. There were two forks on the slender swords, and black electric currents were winding around them with a "sizzling" sound.
This evil demon had long flowing hair, and his appearance was not ugly at all, but extremely handsome. He always had an evil smile on his face, and his aura was very powerful, almost at the Taiyi level.
Beside the two men, dozens of corpses were lying in disorder. They were all elite soldiers of their respective subordinates, and all of them had died in the battle.
"Yuan Tiangang, if you ask me, you should just give up the Four Symbols Heavenly Time Formation. There is no chance of winning if you fight me with this external incarnation. It will just be a waste of your magic power. When your magic power is exhausted, you will become a dead soul under my sword. Is it really worth it for these mortals?" The evil demon said with a smile.
However, neither Yuan Tiangang's real body holding the formation plate, nor his incarnation holding the magic mirror and peach wood sword answered at this moment, but just did their own things.
The evil demon was right. As long as Yuan Tiangang gave up activating the Four Symbols Heavenly Time Array and took this external incarnation into his body, he could kill him immediately. But he couldn't do that.
Because the Four Symbols Heavenly Time Array bears the heavy pressure of disturbing the heavenly time, once it starts to operate, if it cannot run completely, the consequences will be very serious, even worse than the consequences caused by evil spirits.
Originally, as long as the formation was successfully launched, Yuan Tiangang would be able to rely on the power of time and the power of the four symbols to kill or suppress all the evil demons and resolve the predicament of Chang'an at one time.
But halfway through, Tao Yaoyao showed up and, at the cost of burning her own spiritual power, used her peach tree true body to block the Four Symbols Heavenly Time Array from descending.
The result was that Yuan Tiangang could only rely on his own cultivation to fight against him. The two were like entering a tug-of-war game. Neither of them would let go, and they would just wait for the other to be exhausted so that they could win.
However, Tao Yaoyao does not have to worry about the casualties of the people in the city, but Yuan Tiangang cannot allow this stalemate to continue.
"You Kuang, who summoned you to Chang'an?" asked the incarnation.
"You have asked this question three times. You know I won't answer but you still ask. You are so persistent. In fact, there is no need to summon. We have been coveting Chang'an's blood food for a long time. It's a pity that the dragon veins under the city are stable and the dragon energy is abundant. It is difficult for us to rush in. But now, the situation is different. The dragon veins of Chang'an have been destroyed, and the dragon energy is overflowing. The fragrance is so tempting that we are continuously attracted here." The evil demon called Youkuang laughed.
