Sword Among Us

"Why are you wasting your breath on him?! There's still two minutes, and they'll be able to legitimately own the rights to the legacy! Attack!"

Right after Silver Wolf finished talking, more than ten people were immediately mobilized. They pounced at Howling Moon and his party, who were at the center of the marble slab. Among them were Knife and the others.

Originally, many people did not intend to take action immediately.

But it had to be known that the marble slab was not steady. Once someone stomped down on it, the current balance would be destroyed.

Silver Wolf, Knife, Bar, and Thunder were all in the same direction. When they got up, they had notified some of the people they were close with, and they stomped down at the same time.

Eight powerful hidden forces exploded forth swiftly, instantly destroying the balance on the marble slab.

Whoosh!

The 162 feet square marble slab tilted with a bang. The people across them were instantly thrown up.

The people who had been in the same direction where Silver Wolf and his group were immediately faced a bad situation. They had to attack as well!

To prevent themselves from sliding down, they had to charge at Howling Moon and the others at the fastest speed possible.

"Bastard!"

Howling Moon was a smart person.

When he sensed the fierce vibrations on the marble slab and the obvious tilt, he immediately knew what Silver Wolf's plan was.

But when he saw around twenty opponents of the same level charge at him, he could not come up with a better plan within a short time either.

"Change of plans!"

It was difficult for them to fight against such a huge group with just five people.

During the critical moment, Howling Moon sent a private message and gave his orders. "Monkey King, search for a chance to break out of the encirclement! Get to the stage where the hosts are at full speed and hand it to Sect Master Happy! You have to seize the chance!"

Monkey King, who had the plate in his hands, was protected at the center. His expression was solemn, and he sent a private message to show that he understood the message.

"Charge!"

With that one order, the five people shot to the high spot of the marble slab at the same time.

Their opponents had just charged forward by thirty-two feet when hidden forces exploded forth from Howling Moon and his party's feet. One of them led the charge in a self-sacrificing manner and blocked off all the hidden weapons and throwing knives that came from ahead of them.

At that moment, the marble slab had already tilted by forty-five degrees.

The people at the beach panicked because the marble slab suddenly increased in its tilting speed. They used different methods to make sure that they were fixed on the marble slab.

Silver Wolf and his party had to give up on their chase for the time being to protect themselves first.

The people at the higher part were not in a good condition either.

The only spot they could land on now was one single line, which was the border of the slab. They stopped at the edge and waited for Howling Moon and the rest.

"Damn it!"

"They're thinking of running!"

But what they saw was one of the members in Howling Moon's party using all his strength to fling off the other people to the marble slab to the left.

These three people used the momentum to charge forward, and the one who threw them out jumped as well.

"Don't even think about it!

"ROAR!"

A lion's roar shot out, and a majestic sound wave traveled into their ear drums. Their true qi spilled out of them, and they froze.

Howling Moon's face turned pale.

'Oh no!'

They were airborne when they froze. Before they got close to the marble slab, all of them plunged down.

"Oh no!"

"The plate is going to fall!"

The sudden change was against everyone's expectations. Quite a number of people in the audience seat had seen Monkey King grabbing the plate. He had nothing that could serve as his platform. Their expressions changed.

Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao were also shocked. Right when they wanted to say something, they saw Happy and Ji Feng's calm expressions. They instantly understood something, but they could not suppress the puzzlement in their hearts, and they continued to watch the fight.

The people on the tower were helpless as well. They could only watch as the four people fell one after another, and they could do nothing about it.

While they were puzzled, someone was suddenly killed amid the screams.

Everyone's attention was drawn over.

Orochimaru held his swords in his hands and quickly slit the throats of the two people closest to him.

Their lives quickly flowed out of their bodies. Disbelief, anger, and loathing remained on their faces as they rolled limply off the tilting marble slab.

'As long as we become the final person standing on the tower, we will still be able to get Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy!' This thought suddenly flashed in the minds of the remaining fifty people.

Within a short period of time, everyone's gazes on the people close to them became full of hostility and animosity.

Whoosh whoosh!

Someone fell off the tilting marble slab at the top while their robes fluttered. They landed on the marble slab under them nearby, which had gradually begun to stabilize.

When they were removed from the storm of the competitions, many people reacted to the situation.

They had to retreat to advance!

From this moment onwards, they had to survive and protect themselves so that they could become the last person standing on the tower.

Thus, this became their goal.

Within just a short time, only eight people remained at the top of the tower.

Wind Void, Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li did not leave. Silver Wolf and his party did not leave either, and the last person was a Shaolin disciple who was dressed in the robes of a warrior monk.

There were more than forty people who retreated to the sides. Some of them were in groups, and some were alone. Even so, they regarded each other with animosity and wariness.

But these people did not attack immediately.

They were all waiting for the people above to fight and for someone to remain as the victor!

The intense tournament reached a stalemate.

Just when everyone felt disappointed and dumbfounded, Howling Moon and his party's corpses fell on the ground of the tournament area.

A clear sound rang through the entire tournament area.

Ting!

"Huh?"

"Look!"

"Quick! Look!"

A commotion suddenly broke out from the audience seat.

The supreme-class elites on the tower were all affected.

Some people craned their necks to look down!

Whoosh!

A golden light shot up from the bottom of the tower at an astonishing speed. It returned to its original spot like a miracle.

"It came back…"

"The plate returned!"

"So, when the person who has the plate dies, the plate will return to its original spot!"

"No wonder…"

"This will be interesting!"

"Wind Void, Orochimaru, and Whirlwind Young Li all remained at the top level. Now, let's see who can become the owner of the plate!"

"Those people who have left the top level are so unlucky. If Orochimaru, Wind Void, or Whirlwind Young Li gets the plate, they have a high chance of holding the plate until the end!"

"That's right!"

The atmosphere in the tournament area instantly became incredibly intense.

Countless gazes were fixed on the plate shining in a golden light at the top of the tower. They then stared at the eight supreme-class elites who were caught off guard for a moment.

The plate returned to its original place, and it was against everyone's expectations!

Wind Void, Orochimaru, Whirlwind Young Li, Silver Wolf, and the others were all stunned for a moment. Then, simultaneously, their eyes burned intensely.

Whoosh!

Four people vanished from their spots at the same time.

But Silver Wolf and his party did not take action.

The four people exchanged a glance, and Silver Wolf said softly, "Set up the formation first and get rid of the nobodies by the side."

"Alright!"

The four people quickly stood still in four different directions. They drew their swords and set up the Four Matchless Sword Formation.

Right after they set up the formation, waves of invisible ripples spread out from the longswords in Silver Wolf and his party's hands.

Whine!

Sword whines quickly echoed in the air.

At that moment, the people at the bottom all registered the situation.

"The plate!"

"Damn it!"

"That thing actually returns to its place automatically?!"

"Let's go!"

"We can't let them take it away!"

"If they take it, it'll be impossible for us to snatch it back!"

Loud shouts rose, and these people shot out like arrows from all directions to the marble slab above them.

When he saw this, Happy nodded and gave an admiring smile.

At that moment, those who dared to stay at the top were all people with true strength, and they were people whose skills stood above normal supreme-class elites!

Right now, Silver Wolf and his party would get rid of those around them in their formation, and they could also decide just who would end up as the strongest in the tournament.

'Not bad… there's one extra person compared to the number I predicted."

Happy's attention was instantly attracted by the Shaolin disciple. He observed the person's handsome, young, and unfamiliar face, but after observing him, he found that he could not recognize him.

Meanwhile, the marble slab at the top of the tower had long since regained its balance after the number of people on it were reduced until only eight were left. Right now, it was stable.

Right when the people underneath popped their heads up from the borders, Silver Wolf, Knife, Bar, and Thunder's qi swelled up at the same time. "Go!"

Four startling sword glares shot out as quickly as lightning.

The group who had just appeared did not expect that the person at the border would dare to face off a group of people alone. They lost their initiative. When they saw the sword force coming at them, they quickly sensed the astonishing power contained in it. Their pupils shrank swiftly. They wanted to avoid it, but it was already too late. They could only activate their body fortifications and take the attack.

Boom!

Their body fortifications rippled.

The dozens of people in the four directions were affected by the sword forces.

They were airborne, and those who were struck felt a weight on their chests, and they felt as if their blood was surging wildly in their chests.

"Urk!"

They grunted, and with an even faster speed, they fell backwards.

Those who were lucky would land on a marble slab, but those who were unlucky were struck off the tower while their minds were in a daze. They were disqualified.

Silver Wolf and his party's attack caused the countless people in the tournament area to suck in sharp breaths.

At that moment, everyone could tell that the qi activity and breathing from Silver Wolf and his party were frighteningly similar. Their actions were completely in sync as well. Hence, the sword force that they executed resonated.

What was even more terrifying was that the power in their slashes held fearsome power.

With just one attack from the four, multiple people lost their lives!

Thirteen people lost their lives in an instant. Those who remained were more or less injured.

With just one attack, they shocked everyone!

Many people began to search for the four people's identities.

Once they learned of Silver Wolf and his party, they became even more shocked.

"Isn't Silver Wolf just in Moksha Realm one month ago…?"

"How did they become so powerful when they joined Lovely Land for less than a month?"

"I was shocked too. The power in those slashes just now might not be any less powerful than normal middle stage Myth Realm elites."

On the stage for the hosts, Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao were so shocked that they nearly stood up from their seats.

At some point of time in the past, Silver Wolf and his party were just normal players who never gained their attention. In just one month, they became supreme-class elites. And…

The skills they displayed on the tower, the sword formation they set up, and the power it displayed caused them to be shocked. They simply could not believe that it was true.

"Happy, what is this?!"

"What sort of magic did you use?"

Happy smiled faintly when he saw the intense looks from the two sect leaders.

"Silver Wolf and his party helped me a lot during the quest in the forbidden land. I gave each of them the contribution reward for a top-class sect quest, and they could get anything they wanted from the sect storage."

'There's no way I'd believe you!'

This was Phantasmal Shadow and Lin Xiao's first reactions.

But when the people around them heard this, Happy's words swiftly spread out in the tournament area...
