Chapter 1347 (1/2)
Making a Move to Draw the Saber</spoiler>
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 clas.h.i.+ng 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 circ.u.mstances, 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.
