Sword Return Tower's main peak gradually calmed after the violent tremors. Sui Wengong held his longsword as he retreated several steps.
The others watched Sui Wengong nervously. None present aside from Sui Wengong could have blocked that attack just now. Even if the formation's power had been bestowed upon them, the outcome would have been the same.

And after the next arrow, Sword Return Tower's formation would suffer even more severe damage. In such a vicious cycle, Sui Wengong would be injured by the third arrow, while the main peak's formation would shatter outright.
Sword Return Tower's formation was remarkable, but
