Chapter 1349: Half-Day-Half-Night

It was previously dark with only the bright moon illuminating the area. Suddenly, a beam of divine light tore through the sky.

Following that, the sky turned bright. When light reappeared, a clump of golden light appeared in the sky.

That light was even more dazzling than the sun. However, it was warm and made the heart happy. It made one indescribably careless, wanting to get close to it.

This sudden light that appeared immediately disrupted Xiao Chen, who was about to draw the Divine Weapon.

"Huang dang!" The Cloud Moon Saber returned to the scabbard, and the Divine Might disappeared.

Such a situation was truly unexpected. Xiao Chen had not expected that someone would turn the dark night sky into day.

There was a rebound from the Divine Weapon, and it left his hands. Xiao Chen took three steps back, his complexion somewhat pale.

When Xiao Chen drew the saber, his entire being was connected with the Divine Weapon. However, the might of the Divine Weapon's rebound was not weak at all. Earlier, it managed to make Xing Jue vomit blood and back off.

Although Xiao Chen's situation was not that severe, he could not avoid the roiling of his Qi and blood and the upheaval in his sea of consciousness.

After a while, he recovered. He squinted and peered through the veil of the conical hat.

Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. A person was hidden in the clump of golden light. Even though all he saw was a silhouette, he could recognize this to be the Deity Race's Di Wuque!

"Whoosh!"

While Xiao Chen was distracted, this person stretched out his hand, and a suction pulled the Cloud Moon Saber into his grasp.

The light faded away, and this figure revealed his appearance. His handsome facial features were like those of a divine being. His countenance was exquisite and sculpted, boundlessly charming.

Up on the platform, Tian Youxi showed a joyous expression. At the crucial moment, the Divine Son, Di Wuque, finally showed up.

Xing Jue and Xie Zixuan were somewhat stunned when they saw Di Wuque in the air. Originally, they thought that Di Wuque would not come. Who would have imagined that at the very last moment, he would manage to rush over?

"Who is this person? What a strong aura! He already gives off the air of a major character."

"He is Di Wuque. His fame has already spread throughout the Kunlun Continent long ago," someone who recognized Di Wuque said in incredible shock.

"Di Wuque? Why is he here to join the liveliness? Doesn't he already have the Divine Daughter?"

"It's hard to say. It is rather normal for an expert to have a few wives, nothing strange about it."

"I wonder, who is stronger, him or that mysterious person?"

Because of Di Wuque's appearance, the quiet Bright Moon Plaza immediately turned extraordinarily bustling. All sorts of discussions took place without pause.

Di Wuque was like a divine being as he looked down from the air. His lips curled up in a faint smile as he asked, "Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, since you are here already, why the need to hide yourself? Do you think that just by putting on a hat, you can hide your identity?"

The moment this was said, there were many soft exclamations as everyone looked at Xiao Chen; all of them had incredulous expressions on their faces.

Is this really the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen?

How can he be so bold? The Lunar Palace already said that Bright Moon City does not welcome him, and yet he still dared to appear here.

Up on the platform, Yue Bingyun already stood on the edge, staring at Xiao Chen like she was trying to figure him out.

Xiao Chen was somewhat startled in his heart. He was using his Spiritual Sense to mask himself. If someone wanted to use their Mental Energy perception to see his appearance, they would only see a vague scene, unable to make out his appearance clearly and his identity.

However, when Di Wuque appeared, he immediately figured out Xiao Chen's identity. There was only one answer to this: Di Wuque's Mental Energy cultivation already surpassed Xiao Chen's, higher by at least a level.

"You are not admitting to it? In that case, I'll help you remove your hat. Let's see whether I, Di Wuque, am right or not."

When Xiao Chen did not say anything, Di Wuque smiled coldly, and his figure suddenly vanished. In the next moment, a light gathered in front of Xiao Chen and took on a human form. Based on the appearance, it was Di Wuque's true body.

"What fast speed!"

This strangely fast Movement Technique stunned everyone, and they cried out involuntarily.

With this lightning-quick move, Di Wuque immediately grabbed the hat on Xiao Chen's head and started to lift it. The whole string of movements was as smooth as flowing water, without any pause in between.

This Movement Technique was extremely fast, as if Di Wuque had teleported. This caught Xiao Chen somewhat off guard.

However, Xiao Chen reacted very quickly. His figure wavered, moving like a fish wagging its tail. He immediately moved behind Di Wuque and managed to snatch the hat back before Di Wuque could retract his hand.

"Didn't anyone teach you how to be polite?"

The smile on Di Wuque's face froze as he quickly turned and retreated. However, Xiao Chen gave chase, sticking close to him and snatching the Cloud Moon Saber from him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two's figures quickly turned illusionary in this plaza. Di Wuque was like light, scattering and condensing over and over again, preventing others from making out his trajectory.

Xiao Chen appeared unpredictable, changing between fast and slow, moving about nimbly.

Regardless of how Di Wuque's Movement Technique resulted in an unpredictable trajectory, Xiao Chen always adjusted accurately to the situation, sticking close to him.

The scene filled with bright lights of various colors.

Intense waves of energy spread out in all directions, tearing space.

As for the focal point of the fight, the Cloud Moon Saber spun around continuously in the air. Neither could truly grasp it.

This fight made the spectators' hearts race. Unexpectedly, this fight was so intense.

Previously, these people thought that after Di Wuque snatched the mysterious person's hat, he could settle this quickly. Who knew, the mysterious person promptly turned the situation around. Not only did the mysterious person snatch the hat back, but the two even fought to the point where a victor was hard to decide.

After one hour, the two appeared at the same time and stopped fighting. They looked at each other.

Each held one end of the Cloud Moon Saber. Di Wuque gripped the hilt while Xiao Chen had the end of the scabbard.

Di Wuque showed a relaxed expression. He smiled and said softly, "Right now, I am holding the handle. Do you think that you have a chance?"

Under the hat, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and replied, "Even if I give you a chance, do you dare to pull it out?"

The moment Xiao Chen said that, everyone immediately looked towards the Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi. Indeed, Tian Youxi now showed a somewhat unsightly expression.

"Who said that I do not dare to draw it?"

Di Wuque smiled faintly, and a light that was even more resplendent than the sun burst forth from his body. The saber started trembling intensely.

A strong wind blew, and the sea of clouds churned. This startling aura seemed to push Xiao Chen back.

"Is that so? Don't be so naive."

The moment Xiao Chen said that, night fell above him. A moon hid behind the clouds, and an extremely powerful saber intent spread out from his body.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The Cloud Moon Saber felt this aura and trembled even more intensely. No matter how much force Di Wuque used, he could not pull it out at all.

Now, half the sky was night while the other half was day. The divide was very clear.

As the two pushed against each other, they did not give way, wanting to push back the other and grab the Cloud Moon Saber for themselves.

This wondrous scene was a great eye-opener, inspiring praise in everyone's heart.

Di Wuque and that mysterious person were very strong, making everyone sigh in acknowledgment of their own inferiority.

This stalemate attracted everyone's attention; not only the cultivators present but the many elders of the Lunar Palace all cast their gazes on these two.

The Lunar Palace's Vice Palace Master on the platform frowned slightly. She did not wish for Di Wuque to be the one to draw the Cloud Moon Saber.

The Lunar Palace forged the Divine Weapon for the sake of maintaining its neutrality in the first place. However, once Di Wuque drew it out, the Lunar Palace could not go back on its word. Then, it would be like raising a rock to smash one's own foot.

Right now, Di Wuque held the handle, having a clear advantage. The situation did not look optimistic.

Yue Bingyun's heart also turned anxious.

She knew that if Di Wuque really drew it, even if her master was not willing, her master would fulfill her promise.

Firstly, her master never went back on her word. Secondly, the Cloud Moon Saber and the Wind Shadow Sword were crucial to the Lunar Palace's future; they would determine whether the Lunar Palace could survive the upcoming Demonic Calamity.
