Chapter 1347: Making a Move to Draw the Saber

Mo Chen pulled on Xiao Chen's arm, afraid that he would act rashly. She did not want him to reveal himself at such an early point.

Xiao Chen revealing himself now and clashing directly with the Deity Dao Union was clearly unwise.

Restraining himself, Xiao Chen took a step back. After a while, he stepped forward again, struggling free of Mo Chen's grip.

That was right. The Cloud Moon Saber would not be drawn so easily.

However, once it was drawn, Xiao Chen would no longer have any opportunity to change the situation. Yue Bingyun's fate would be sealed.

Such a result would become his eternal regret. This worry in his heart would never be relieved.

Xiao Chen's purpose in bringing Mo Chen was to use her rationality to suppress his rashness. However, from the looks of things, there was no need for it. Sometimes, in life, one needed to be rash.

Under certain circumstances, absolute calmness and rationality might not be a good thing.

Xiao Chen turned the situation around, holding on to Mo Chen's arm, instead. Then, he turned his head and smiled. "Don't be anxious. From the very start, I do not have a clue on how to deal with the Lunar Palace and still do not have a plan. Even now, I still don't know where to begin. The initiative is completely in Tian Youxi's hand.

"This is not what I want. Hesitating and fearing everything, this is not my character."

At this moment, Xiao Chen faced his heart. It was as if a fast saber had slashed all the worries and messy emotions, allowing him to see clearly.

Mo Chen asked worriedly, "What about you?"

Xiao Chen smiled and replied, "Don't be afraid. I managed to clearly see my own heart. I might appear rash, but that does not mean that I am acting rashly."

When Tian Youxi and the others took action on the platform, no one dared to make a move.

The forceful stance and overbearingness of the Deity Dao Union were clear to see. Even though everyone was unhappy with this, they could not do anything about it.

Yue Bingyun felt a pang in her heart. She gently bit on her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

Tian Youxi glanced at Yue Bingyun, feeling somewhat happy in her heart. She said, "Xing Jue, what are you waiting for? Quickly draw the Cloud Moon Saber and fulfill the Holy Daughter Yue Bingyun's wish."

Yue Bingyun's face sank as she said coldly, "Tian Youxi, don't go overboard."

Tian Youxi smiled and retorted, "How am I overboard? You were the one who made the rule. Anyone capable can be the first to try. The Lunar Palace's Vice Palace Master also said that anyone who can draw this Cloud Moon Saber can join the Lunar Palace."

Xing Jue held the Cloud Moon Saber and toyed with it for a while. Then, he said casually, "Not bad. This is a pretty rare treasure saber. The moon hides in the cloud; it is very prideful."

Wen Ziran frowned slightly. Xing Jue was not a bladesman. If he wanted to draw the saber, there was only one way, which was to forcibly subdue this saber.

If Xing Jue were another person, that would not work. However, Xing Jue was the descendant of a Prime. He had also undergone experiential training in the Astral Battlefield. His strength was now unfathomable. Whether he would fail or not was hard to say.

It would be a great pity if a person who was not a bladesman drew the Cloud Moon Saber.

All the cultivators present were upset with the Deity Dao Union's tyranny as well, their dissatisfaction written on their faces.

Xing Jue placed his hand on the saber's handle with a grave expression. He did not act carelessly. He used all his strength and aura, radiating a vague Emperor's Might from his body.

This was the aura that Xing Jue gained from killing a Martial Emperor. The aura he obtained already resembled Emperor's Might.

"Boom!"

A strong wind blew and clouds churned. The sky suddenly turned dark. A golden full moon appeared indistinct in the clouds, proud and cold.

"Come out!" Xing Jue shouted, and he pushed his aura to its limits. A terrifying aura spread out, eliciting a deep fear in others.

"He is really strong. Rumor has it that he's killed a Martial Emperor before. It looks like it is true!"

"The Deity Dao Union is really strong. To think that they actually have such an outstanding talent! Compared to him, the Holy Scions of our Heavenly Starry Ocean seem weaker."

"I wonder if he can draw it."

The present atmosphere turned extremely tense. Everyone knew that Xing Jue was forcibly subduing the Cloud Moon Saber. The results were very important. Everyone held their breath and opened their eyes wide as they watched intently.

The outstanding talents and the Saber Sovereigns' disciples all felt dissatisfied and cursed Xing Jue in their hearts.

They cursed Xing Jue to fail and be unable to draw the Cloud Moon Saber.

"Ka ca!"

However, these curses did not seem to work. Xing Jue managed to draw the Cloud Moon Saber by one centimeter. Bright, dazzling moonlight shone.

A strong Divine Might also spread out. A fierce wind shrilled, forcing everyone to close their eyes.

The gale formed by the Divine Might even blew away the weaker people. The plaza now turned even more chaotic.

Under the hat, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. He gently shifted his position to shield Mo Chen, helping her block the Divine Might of the Divine Weapon.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, This Divine Weapon is truly incredible. He drew it by only one centimeter, and it already displays such might.

If it is completely drawn, it will be even more incredible. After that, when combined with the Wind Shadow Sword, the resulting spectacle will be unimaginable.

"Damn, it's over. Can he draw it completely?!"

"This fellow's aura is really strong, truly incredible."

"Heck, someone, say something. We can't let an outsider marry the Holy Daughter!"

The various discussions entered Xing Jue's ears, pleasing him considerably. His lips curled up, and his aura turned sharper.

Xing Jue's headband ripped off, leaving his long hair flying about messily.

His expression appeared grave and fierce as cracks opened on the ground. Clearly, after drawing the Cloud Moon Saber by one centimeter, he was not finding it that easy to continue.

On the contrary, drawing the Cloud Moon Saber was extremely exhausting, and he was barely holding on.

"Weng!"

The Cloud Moon Saber got drawn out a little more. Xing Jue laughed loudly and said, "The Lunar Palace's disciples are all pretty like flowers. However, based on today, it looks like their strength and talents are somewhat weak!"

The hearts of all the onlookers sank, and they showed disappointed expressions.

No one expected that Xing Jue was actually so incredible. He really was about to forcibly subdue the Cloud Moon Saber. Barring the unexpected, given sufficient time, he would definitely succeed in drawing out the Cloud Moon Saber.

Tian Youxi revealed a faint smile. As long as Xing Jue drew out the Cloud Moon Saber, the Deity Dao Union would be certain to pull the Lunar Palace over.

Even if the Lunar Palace's Palace Master was unwilling, without the Transcendent Divine Weapon merged together, they would not dare to oppose the Deity Dao Union, either.

However, just at this moment, a sharp saber intent suddenly burst out from the chaotic crowd below. It covered the sky and land like a flash flood or a tsunami surging over.

"Boom!"

The people in front of Xiao Chen could not block at all. The puissant saber intent blew them all away, wresting a few screams from them as they flew in all directions.

Instantly, a vast desolate space appeared in front of Xiao Chen. The crowded and chaotic scene emptied.

The vast saber intent was like a horrific wave. Its momentum did not decrease as it surged towards the platform.

Completely blocking such a saber intent was impossible. It had no weaknesses, and it took advantage of any opening available.

Xing Jue, who was using all his energy and attention on forcibly subduing the Cloud Moon Saber, did not react. He only saw the Cloud Moon Saber's struggles suddenly become severalfold wilder in his hands.

"What's going on? Stay still!"

Xing Jue steadied his footing and tightened both hands around the Cloud Moon Saber, doing his best to prevent it from breaking free.

When Xiao Chen's saber intent arrived, the Cloud Moon Saber's struggles peaked.

"Bang!" The Cloud Moon Saber broke free from Xing Jue's grasp. A tremendous force rebounded from the scabbard, flinging Xing Jue aside, into the air, and causing him to vomit blood.

"No!"

Before Xing Jue's unwilling gaze, the Cloud Moon Saber flew swiftly towards Xiao Chen, refusing to listen to Xing Jue.

This behavior was like a girl seeing the one she loved and impatient to meet him.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and happened to grab the Cloud Moon Saber's scabbard. The gale kicked up by the saber made his clothes flap about noisily.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.

Everyone previously thought that the Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony was about to come to an end when a mysterious person suddenly appeared. This person exploded forth with a powerful saber intent, directly snatching the Cloud Moon Saber away from Xing Jue.

"Who is it?!"

Yue Bingyun was so shocked that she stood up from her seat involuntarily. She stared hard as if she was trying to peer through that thick conical hat and see who this mysterious person was.

It was not just Yue Bingyun. Everyone in Bright Moon Plaza was curious as well.

Who was so bold as to directly offend the Deity Dao Union and jumped out at this moment?
