Chapter 4481: Chapter 4481: A Mistaken Performance Chapter 4481: A Mistaken Performance Lin Moyu joked as Tang Feng was thrown back he had already left the sword formation, left exposed outside. Not that he cared; instead, he just critiqued the formation’s power. The Tang God Grand Sword Formation drew strength from hundreds of chaos cultivators at Great Completion, just barely scratching the gate to Perfection decent enough for a formation. Yet Lin Moyu sensed something missing it wasn’t complete. "Probably the Dark God Pearl; with it, the sword formation could be far stronger." Lin Moyu noticed the black pearl set atop the palace was stirring, seemingly resonating with the sword formation. But the array inscribed upon the palace suppressed the pearl, keeping it stuck. The formation didn’t disperse Tang Feng regained control and pulled Lin Moyu back inside its protection, keeping his word. Tang Bing closed his eyes to divine and suddenly pointed at one corner outside the palace. His fingertip flashed, and Tang Feng shouted, "There!" Everyone made hand seals and the sword formation erupted again this strike was even stronger. Sword light swept the emptiness, landing exactly at Tang Bing’s chosen spot. With a deafening boom, the ground split open; a massive crack appeared across the palace. Lin Moyu observed Tang Bing’s foresight had targeted the weak spot in the array. "Using the Dao of Fate to divine the array’s flaw clever," Lin Moyu judged. He made mental notes, thinking he could use this for the fate master in the Five Worlds Domain someday. The Dao of Fate is never easy, even for a fate master in chaos. Since it was his own domain’s folk, Lin Moyu would help if given the chance. Chaos Child scoffed, "That’s not how you use the Dao of Fate." Little Tree agreed, "He’s lost the right path." Both grumbled despite not having a better answer. Lin Moyu just kept watching. A couple more sword strikes would shatter the array and let Tang Feng’s group claim the Dark God Pearl. If the formation got the pearl, maybe they could actually win. But Four overwhelming auras surged from beneath the ground the Cold Toad clan’s Perfection powerhouses had awakened. Tang Feng’s face fell, "Why are there four?" He was shocked but didn’t falter he wielded the formation again, beating back the enemy crowd and refocusing his strike. But too slow. Before the second sword hit, a terrifying force burst forth, destroying the formation’s blade, blasting the sword formation apart. Their formation was strong but still a step below true Perfection. Tang Bing whipped out a disc shaped treasure, closing his eyes and spitting blood onto its surface. The magic wheel ascended, hovering above the palace; countless runes fell like rain, morphing into divine weapons that hammered at the four Perfection experts of the Cold Toads. This treasure was incredibly powerful it briefly pinned the four down, paralyzing them. Ice shards exploded skyward; the ancient ice was so tough, it hadn’t been ground to dust by all the fighting. The four Perfection experts were exposed, immobilized by the treasure but they struggled madly, soon to be free. Tang Feng pointed again, slashing with his sword formation at the same weak point. The immobilized experts kept roaring, seemingly sending out some kind of signal unable to escape, but able to command. Sword light flashed as more Cold Toads rushed in, bodies blocking the strikes. They unleashed various powers, bombarding the incoming sword light. Instantly, the sword light flickered and was nearly spent before it even reached the array. That sword killed dozens of Cold Toad chaos cultivators, but this was their territory even killing a few meant nothing against thousands; there was no way to finish them all. "Brother, I can’t hold on!" Tang Bing cried out, nearly breaking under the effort to keep the experts pinned. Tang Feng growled, "Hold on just a bit longer!" He tossed forth a tiny sword, which expanded and fused with the sword formation. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 The formation surged in power as Tang Feng signaled, "Sword God cleaves the heavens strike!" A phantom appeared in the void a pulse of sword essence rocked chaos. The apparition lifted its blade as if to split the earth itself. Lin Moyu froze the sword essence was achingly familiar. That was Lin Mohan. Physical appearances change, but sword intent rarely does. Lin Moyu had once been called the Great Sword Sovereign; now, to Tang Feng, he’d become a Sword God. That strike must be Lin Mohan’s heaven cleaving sword. Lin Moyu wondered how Tang God Sect knew Lin Mohan’s sword intent. Lin Mohan’s sword cleaved the sky, smashing downward. Tang Bing vomited blood he’d reached his limit, unable to control the treasure anymore. One Perfection toad broke free, confronted the sword phantom. Swathed in chaos armor, surrounded by shattered ice, it showed true form a monstrous toad. Its blue tongue snapped out, gleaming like a blade, clashing with the phantom’s sword; it blasted out freezing mist, coating Tang Feng’s people with ice. The sword aura collapsed, Lin Mohan’s image faded; the strike was blocked. But the mutant toad was mortally wounded, collapsing barely alive. Its ice casing, for the first time in battle, was fragmented. Lin Mohan’s sword shattered fragments of ancient ice. Tang Feng also paid a price, weakened after releasing Lin Mohan’s sword essence, but persisted pointing to unleash another sword at the array’s fracture. All they needed was to shatter the array and grab the pearl. But the remaining three Perfection Cold Toads broke free, with Tang Bing injured from the magic backlash. Armored in chaos and wielding shards of ice, the Perfection toads easily blocked the sword light. Compared to Lin Mohan’s sword intent, the sword formation was much weaker they simply couldn’t win against true Perfection. One attack nearly broke the formation; many in the group spat blood. Tang Feng’s face twisted in frustration he produced another treasure, a bead resembling the Dark God Pearl, but not quite the same. Lin Moyu sensed raging power in the bead more than enough to wound a Perfection expert. Tang Bing’s expression sharpened, "Brother, it’s too soon don’t use it." Tang Feng whispered, "Any ideas left?" Tang Bing shook his head, "I made a mistake in my prediction. I’ll take responsibility. Give me the Blast God bead I’ll hold them off, you lead the others away." Tang Feng refused, "I said I’d succeed or die trying. If I die, that’s my fate. Everyone take Tang Bing and Daoist Lin and leave; I’ll hold them here." No one moved, stunned by his order. Tang Feng roared, "Will you defy me?" Tang Bing shouted, "If we go, we go together if we stay, we stay together!" He produced a teleportation array disk and handed it to Lin Moyu. "Daoist Lin, use this to escape!"
