Chapter 1234: The Four Ultimate Sword Formation, The Token Returned to Its Place

“Waste no time talking to him! In two more minutes, they’ll openly have control over the inheritance. Attack!” As Silver Fox spoke, over a dozen people were mobilized and rushed at Xiao Yue and the others in the center of the marble slab, including Dao Zi and others!
Originally, many didn’t plan to act immediately…
But the marble slab was unstable—any force applied could disrupt its balance!
Silver Fox, Dao Zi, Tiao Zi, Lei Zi, and the others were all in the same direction. Before moving in, they had informed a few close friends to act simultaneously!
Seven or eight powerful streams of hidden energy erupted abruptly, instantly disrupting the balance of the marble slab…
Whoosh!!!
The 50-meter-square marble slab tilted violently, lifting those on the opposite side high into the air; those on Silver Fox’s side faced disaster and had no choice but to act!
To avoid falling, they all rushed toward Xiao Yue and the others at top speed…
“Bastards!”
Xiao Yue was extremely clever…
Feeling the intense vibrations and obvious tilt of the marble slab, he immediately realized it was Silver Fox’s trick. But with a dozen or twenty opponents of the same level charging at him, he had no better solution in the short term…
“Plan changed!”
Five against many.
At this critical moment, Xiao Yue sent a message:
“Monkey King! Seize the chance to break through and head full speed to the podium—hand the token to the Happy Gate Master! You must seize this opportunity!”
The Monkey King, holding the token, was protected by four others in the center. With a serious expression, he confirmed he understood.
“Charge!!”
At the command, the five of them shot upward like lightning.
After covering just ten meters, powerful hidden energy erupted beneath their feet. One of them sacrificed himself by rushing to the front, blocking all the flying daggers thrown at them…
At that moment!
The marble slab tilted sharply at 45 degrees. Those behind were panicked by the sudden tilt and tried various methods to stay fixed on the slab…
Even Silver Fox and his group had to stop pursuing and prioritize survival!
Those on the higher ground weren’t faring any better. With their landing points reduced to a narrow line, they all rushed to the edge, waiting for Xiao Yue and the others…
“Damn it!”
“That kid’s trying to escape!”
But what they saw was Xiao Yue using all his strength to fling the remaining three of them far away toward a marble slab on the left.
The three took advantage of the momentum to fly swiftly!
“Trying to run? Where do you think you’re going!!!”
Roar!!!!

As the lion’s roar echoed, its powerful sound waves struck their eardrums violently, and a surge of energy rushed forth, causing the three of them to freeze in place… Xiao Yue’s face turned deathly pale:
Damn it!!
High in the air, the three of them froze before even reaching the marble platform, and together with those before them, they all began to fall downward…
“That’s bad!”
“The token has also fallen!”
The sudden turn of events caught everyone by surprise. Many in the spectator seats saw the Monkey King holding the token, with nothing to use for support beneath his feet, and their expressions turned grim.
Mei Ying and Lin Xiao were also shocked. Just as they were about to say something, they noticed Kai Xin and Ji Feng’s calm expressions and seemed to understand something immediately. Suppressing their confusion, they continued to watch.
The group on the tower was equally helpless, watching helplessly as the four of them fell one after another, unable to do anything…
Just as they were puzzled, someone was suddenly assassinated amidst screams.
Everyone’s attention was drawn there.
Orochimaru!
He held a blade in each hand and swiftly slashed at the necks of the two nearest opponents.
Life force rushed out of their bodies! The two still held expressions of disbelief, anger, and resentment as they rolled helplessly down the tilted marble platform…
“As long as I become the last person standing on the tower, I can still inherit the legacy of Tian Dao Song Que!” This thought suddenly flashed through the minds of the remaining fifty-some people.
In an instant!
Everyone’s gazes turned hot and hostile toward those nearby.
Whoosh whoosh…
With the sound of clothes tearing through the air, some people left the tilted top layer of the marble platform and landed on the relatively flat marble below.
They stepped out of the vortex of competition!
Many people realized what was happening…
Retreat to advance!
From this moment on, surviving and protecting themselves until they became the last person standing on the tower would be their goal.
In a flash, only eight people remained on the topmost layer of the tower…
Mo Feng, Orochimaru, and Windy Li remained, along with the four Silver Foxes and a Shaolin disciple dressed in a monk’s robe.
About forty people had separated themselves, some in groups of three or five, some alone, some hostile and wary of each other…
But none of them acted immediately.
They were all waiting for the ones at the top to fight and determine who would live and who would die!
…
The fierce struggle reached a stalemate…
Just as everyone felt disappointed and stunned, the bodies of Xiao Yue and the others crashed onto the arena floor…
Ding!!
A clear sound spread throughout the entire arena.
“Huh?!”
“Look!!”
“Look quickly!”

The spectator stands suddenly erupted in roaring noise.
The top experts on the tower were all affected.
Some of them leaned out to look down!
Whoosh!
A golden light shot upward at astonishing speed from the bottom of the tower and miraculously returned to its original position in the void.
“It’s back…”
“The token’s back!”
“So the bearer of the token returns to its place after dying and falling!”
“No wonder…”
“This is exciting!”
“Mo Feng, Orochimaru, and Xiao Li are all still on the top floor—now it’s up to seeing who will become the owner of the token!”
“Those who left the top floor are in trouble now… If Orochimaru, Mo Feng, or Xiao Li gets the token, they’re likely to hold on to it until the end!”
“That’s right!”
The atmosphere in the arena instantly became extremely tense.
Countless eyes were fixed on the golden token glowing at the very top of the tower, as well as on the eight top experts who were momentarily stunned.
…
The token returning to its place was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations!
Mo Feng, Orochimaru, Xiao Li, and even Silver Fox were slightly taken aback, then their eyes suddenly burned with determination.
Whoosh!
The four of them disappeared from their positions at the same time…
Silver Fox and his three companions didn’t move.
They exchanged glances in the air for a moment, then Silver Fox said in a deep voice, “Form a formation first and clear out the weaklings around us.”
“Okay!”
The four of them quickly took positions in different directions, drew their long swords, and formed the “Four Exquisite Sword Formation”.
…
As soon as the formation was set up!
Waves of invisible ripples spread out gently from the long swords in Silver Fox’s group…
Hum!!
The sound of the swords humming echoed back and forth rapidly.
…
By this time, those below had already realized what was happening!
…
“The token!”
“Damn!”
“It actually returned on its own!”
“Let’s go!”
“We can’t let them take it!”
“If they succeed, it’ll be even harder for us to take it back.” Amidst shouts, figures shot upward like arrows from all directions.
…
Seeing this, Happy nodded slightly in approval with a satisfied smile.
At times like these, those who dare to stay on the top floor are truly strong, with abilities far surpassing ordinary top experts!
Now, with Silver Fox and his three companions clearing out the surroundings, the first place in this competition will be decided.
“Not bad… There’s even one more person than expected.”

Happy’s attention was immediately drawn to that Shaolin disciple. Her gaze swept over the latter’s handsome, young, unfamiliar face, searching for any memory, but found none.
…
The top of the tower! The marble slab had long been stabilized by the remaining eight people due to the sharp decrease in numbers, and now it was perfectly level.
Those below had just poked their heads out from the edge. The auras of Silver Fox, Knife, Strip, and Thunder surged simultaneously! “Go!”
Four sword beams, swift as lightning, shot out in an instant.
The group that had just appeared were completely unprepared for someone at the edge to dare attack them alone. Losing the advantage, they saw the sword auras rushing toward them and quickly sensed the astonishing power within. Their pupils contracted, and there was no time to retreat—they could only brace themselves to withstand the attack.
Boom!!
Ripples of protective energy…
Dozens of people in all four directions were affected by the sword auras;
Those in mid-air felt a pressure in their chests as the auras swept over them, causing chaos within their chests;
“Ugh!”
Groaning, they fell backward at even greater speed.
Those lucky enough landed on the marble slab, while those unlucky were knocked unconscious and fell from the tower, losing their eligibility to continue.
With just one move from Silver Fox and his three companions, countless people in the arena gasped in shock…
At that moment, everyone realized!
The auras of Silver Fox and his three companions were astonishingly similar, and their movements were identical. The sword auras they wielded carried an unusual resonance;
What was most terrifying was the immense power of their combined sword strike!
One strike, and many fell!
Thirteen people died on the spot, while the rest were more or less injured by the shock.
A stunning debut!
Many people began to investigate the identities of the four.
Upon learning who Silver Fox and his three companions were, they were even more astonished:
“A month ago, Silver Fox seemed to be only at the Liberation Realm…”
“How could he become so powerful in less than a month since entering the Splendid Lands?”
“I’m also shocked. The power of that sword strike is probably no less than that of an ordinary expert at the mid-stage Mythical Realm…”
On the judging platform, Shadow and Lin Xiao almost stood up in shock!
Once, Silver Fox and his three companions were just ordinary martial artists who didn’t even register in their eyes. In just a month, they had been transformed into top experts, and moreover…
The skills they displayed atop the tower, along with the sword formation they created, were so astonishing that it was hard to believe it was real.
“Happy! This…”
“What magic did you use?”
“…”
Facing the intense gazes of the leaders of the two major factions, Happy smiled slightly:

“In those restricted-area missions, the Silver Fox Gang helped me a lot. I just gave them a top-tier faction mission contribution; they must have gathered some things from their gang’s warehouse…”
No one will believe you!
That was the first reaction of Phantom and Lin Xiao!
But once the people around them heard this, it quickly spread throughout the arena…
