<h4>Chapter 1348: I Am the Bright Moon, a Lone Flower Admiring Itself</h4>


    Naturally, the most shaken and shocked among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators were the ten Saber Sovereigns'' personal disciples.


    As desmen, they understood the saber intent, and the pressure it brought, that surged over better than ordinary people did.


    This was especially so for Wen Ziran. His expression changed drastically into heavy astonishment.


    Who is this person?


    The chaotic Bright Moon za immediately quieted down. Everyone focused their gaze on this mysterious person wearing a conical hat.


    Tian Youxi frowned slightly, feeling suspicious. This person seemed somewhat familiar, but she could not be sure that it was the person she was thinking of.


    Xing Jue took three steps back. His expression showed both shock and rage. He asked with a sullen face, "Is he Xiao Chen?"


    Xing Jue had not seen Xiao Chen for many years already. Compared to Tian Youxi, he was even more uncertain.


    Xia Houjue shook his head and said, "His figure is simr. However, how could Xiao Chen enter Bright Moon City? He can''t even step into the city. Even if he masked himself, he would be checked when he entered the city."


    Feng Wuji nodded and said, "It is not difficult to mix in with the crowd and enter. However, the Lunar Pce''s Pce Master already made it clear that she does not wee him. If he really entered, he would be in a worse situation. Xiao Chen would definitely understand that."


    Xie Zixuan smiled coldly and asked, "What is the point of thinking so much? Whether it is or not, we just have to remove his hat. Ain''t that simple?"


    Right after Xie Zixuan spoke, his figure moved like a phantom, creating many vague ghostly images. When these ghostly imagesnded, they roared out in rage.


    With a thousand ghostly images appearing, the sharp miserable shrieks they gave off turned into an extremely horrifying sound wave.


    When Xie Zixuan''s true body arrived before Xiao Chen, the thousand ghostly images merged into one, turning into a three-kilometer-tall evil spirit from hell behind him. As it opened its bloody mouth, it snarled at Xiao Chen.


    "Rawr!"


    The sound waves turned into a whirlpool that appeared ferocious and undefeatable. Its sound was sharp and fierce. The scariest thing was that it could directly enter another''s sea of consciousness and perform a Mental Attack.


    This Ghost Shadow Step was not only fast but also had many abilities. It was unpredictable. The moment it appeared, it caused many of the watching cultivators to cry out.


    The instant the evil spirit roared, Xie Zixuan narrowed his eyes, and the sword in his hand became like a venomous snake heading for Xiao Chen''s chest.


    Xie Zixuan''s Movement Technique and Martial Technique worked together perfectly with no ws at all. A peak quasi-Emperor would probably get pierced through the heart and die immediately from this strike.


    Unfortunately, Xie Zixuan ran into Xiao Chen!


    The mental attack of the evil spirit entered Xiao Chen''s sea of consciousness. It bared its ws and fangs, wanting to show off its might. That azure-d Dharmic Incarnation with the evil air in the depths of his sea of consciousness opened its eyes and sent out a boundless killing Qi that made the evil spirit tremble in fear.


    Before the evil spirit could leave, the azure-d Dharmic Incarnation killed it with one chop.


    Back in reality, Xiao Chen''s movements did not stop, either. Facing the other party''s lightning-quick sword, he executed the Fish Dragon Art. He immediately showed thousands of variations, bing like a fish in water.


    When Xiao Chen''s body moved, it was like a fish wagging its tail in the water. The tip of the sword looked like it soon would strike Xiao Chen.


    This startled the onlookers into taking in a deep breath. However, in the next moment, they discovered that the sword slid by Xiao Chen''s body.


    Fast!


    Fish Dragon Art, Azure Dragon leaping out of the sea, scattering the clouds in all directions!


    Xiao Chen''s aura changed. He became like a dragon leaping out of the sea, breaking through the water. He shifted from slow to fast. His body shed as he charged forward and swung the Cloud Moon Saber in its scabbard, striking Xie Zixuan''s face.


    "Pa!" The unfathomable Xie Zixuan with the ferocious aura did not even manage to touch the corner of Xiao Chen''s clothes before getting sent flying.


    What Movement Technique is this?


    Xie Zixuan''s Ghost Shadow Step already shocked the entire za, horrifying everyone. However, the Movement Technique of this mysterious person was clearly superior. Xie Zixuan wanted to unt his Movement Technique. However, he ended up upstaged by someone else.


    This was upstaging in the truest sense. The wound on Xie Zixuan''s face was a mark of humiliation for him.


    "Kill him!" Xing Jue shouted coldly. Regardless of whether this person was Xiao Chen or not, this person was already their greatest enemy.


    Striking Xie Zixuan was like striking the Deity Dao Union''s face. They needed to retaliate.


    Xing Jue roared furiously, and his clothes ripped apart, revealing a strong and vigorous golden torso. That golden body glittered with light, and its muscles looked like they were filled with power.


    "Bang!"


    Xing Jue threw a punch from where he stood. The energy tore through the air, heading for Xiao Chen. The power of this one punch set the surrounding space trembling.


    Xiao Chen thought to himself, This Xing Jue is truly a disciple of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. In terms of physical strength, he even somewhat surpasses me.


    However, that was fine. The other party was an outstanding talent focusing on cultivating the physical body. He even had a master who became a Prime using the physical body. There was no need topete with him with the physical body.


    The Cloud Moon Saber''s scabbard dipped and blocked the energy. Xiao Chen''s white robes fluttered as he used the force to fly back, easily avoiding that energy as his figure moved gracefully.


    After this punch, Xing Jue and the others charged over with surging killing intent and a ferocious aura, instantly surrounding Xiao Chen.


    They unleashed various powerful moves mercilessly.


    However, despite the torrent of storm-like attacks, the four still failed to touch the corner of Xiao Chen''s clothes. It was like trying to catch fish in the water. In the end, they were toyed with, moving in circles.


    "This fellow is too strong. We should force the Cloud Moon Saber out of his hand first. If we give him an opportunity, he will definitely draw it out!" one of the Saber Sovereigns'' descendants suggested.


    The other outstanding talents exchanged nces before nodding and flying up, joining the group surrounding Xiao Chen.


    Wen Ziran hesitated for a moment. After thinking for a while, he charged over as well. It was rare to find such an expert in the Saber Dao. He could not help itching to fight him.


    "Rumble…!"


    Aside from Chu Yang, Di Xinhan, and the other Holy Scions who were just there to watch the liveliness, the other people who fancied the Holy Daughter Yue Bingyun all immediately joined the group surrounding Xiao Chen.


    Even if they could not defeat this fellow, they absolutely could not give him the time to draw the Cloud Moon Saber.


    However, they did not know that Xiao Chen was smiling to himself. He found the people from the Deity Dao Union surrounding him only somewhat problematic.


    After all, that group was from the same faction and worked rather well together. Furthermore, they were pretty strong in the first ce.


    However, when these people surrounded Xiao Chen, not only were they unable to work together, but they also hindered each other, even injured each other.


    The Taiji Dao was the best for fighting many at the same time, borrowing force to fight.


    These people wanted to keep Xiao Chen busy fighting, but they ended up giving Xiao Chen an opportunity.


    "Damn, you injured me!"


    "Scram, you were clearly the one who injured me first."


    "I just couldn''t control myself, couldn''t control the force. It wasn''t on purpose. Damn! Which bastard attacked me while I was speaking?"


    "Bunch of trash! Scram! Scram as far as you can!" Xing Jue discovered that he could not even see Xiao Chen. Even so, he suffered many wounds on his body.


    Xing Jue was so frustrated that he was enraged. Then, he shouted and attacked the two people beside him.


    It would have been fine if Xing Jue had not attacked. The moment he did so, the ce fell into even greater chaos. Furthermore, amid the tumult, Xing Jue''s golden body became the best target, turning into the focus of mayhem.


    The scene entered into a negative feedback loop. The angrier Xing Jue got, the heavier he attacked, the more chaotic the scene became.


    As the person in the center, his golden body became covered in blood, a miserable sorry sight. He lost his initial splendor entirely.


    "All of you, stop! That person is already gone. Why are you still attacking me?!"


    With so many Saber Sovereigns'' descendants and outstanding talents, even the most exquisite physical body would not be able to handle the assault.


    "That''s right. Where did that mysterious person go to?"


    "Where is he? Where is he?"


    "Everyone, stop! Look around! Find him!"


    Amid the chaos, these people could not stop attacking each other. Now, they suddenly discovered that at some point in time, the person they were originally surrounding had already gone missing.


    This group of people wanted to stop Xiao Chen. Instead, their group messed everything up.


    "There!"


    Xing Jue narrowed his eyes when he found Xiao Chen''s figure and instantly charged over.


    Xing Jue''s bare upper body was covered in wounds, truly a cruel sight. His hair was disheveled, and the rags of his clothes dangled around his body.


    He no longer had the air of an outstanding talent or a Prime''s descendant. He now looked like a miserable beggar. He was heartbreaking, appearing very pitiful.


    The group of people turned to where Xing Jue was looking. They saw that Xiao Chen had already moved several kilometers away at some point in time.


    Xiao Chen held the Cloud Moon Saber horizontally and ced his right hand on the handle.


    Shame and embarrassment flowed in everyone''s heart. They were ruthlessly fooled.


    It looked like the mysterious person could draw the saber. Tian Youxi was now quite apprehensive. Standing on the tform, she shouted, "As long as any cultivator here manages to touch even the corner of that person''s clothes, my Deity Dao Union will give that person a reward of ten thousand Essence Stones!"


    The moment Tian Youxi spoke, all the hundred thousand cultivators eximed at the same time. Just touching the corner of that person''s clothes would get them ten thousand Essence Stones. Was this not just giving them money?


    Tian Youxi''s heart bled. However, at this point, she had no other choice but toe up with this measure to prevent the mysterious man from drawing the saber.


    "Attack!"


    A hundred thousand cultivators all entered into a frenzy at Tian Youxi''s words, quickly flying towards Xiao Chen in a dense cloud.


    Xiao Chen smiled faintly and tightened his grip on the handle before casually pulling.


    An incredible scene appeared. Xing Jue had used his full power and could only forcibly draw the Cloud Moon Saber by one centimeter. However, in Xiao Chen''s hand, with just a gentle pull, half of it came out.


    Night arrived, and the moon hid in the clouds.


    In the night sky, Xiao Chen radiated light from his body. He became like the Lunar Pce entering the mortal world, cold and aloof.


    The bright moon hidden in the clouds was attracted by the lighting from Xiao Chen and immediately emerged from behind the clouds.


    The two moons—one in the sky, one on the ground—mixed together. The might of the Divine Weapon surged out.


    The might of the Divine Weapon blew back the one hundred thousand cultivators charging over in a dense cloud, making all of them cry out.


    Just like that, only Xiao Chen remained in the vast Bright Moon za. With the two moons mixing, the half-drawn Cloud Moon Saber''s supreme grace deeply shocked everyone.


    Xiao Chen, who was holding the saber handle, seemed to gain someprehension. Suddenly, ten words popped up in his mind: I am the bright moon, a lone flower admiring itself!


    "This saber is prepared for me," Xiao Chen muttered to himself and made to draw out the remaining half of the Cloud Moon Saber.


    However, just at this moment, a divine light appeared. Sunlight shone and day returned.
