Eternal Saber-Chapter 367 - 85: Seizing the Sword

The battle between the Moonlit Palace and Chen Tang continues.

But in reality, it no longer holds much meaning.

No matter how the Moonlit Palace strikes, no matter the speed, from any angle, any position, Chen Tang can block every move.

The Moonlit Ten Forms have already been executed several times by the Moonlit Palace.

Later, he even completely abandoned his defense, used everything he had learned in his life, and pushed every move to the extreme, yet he still couldn’t harm Chen Tang in the slightest.

It was less of a battle and more of a one-sided humiliation.

From beginning to end, Chen Tang remained calm, standing still, casually wielding his saber to effortlessly fend off the Moonlit Palace’s attacks from all directions.

The fame of being the world’s fastest saber seemed immensely ironic at this moment.

The Vice Master of Ceremonies lightly coughed and shamelessly said, "At least for now, the Moonlit Palace hasn’t been injured; neither has won nor lost. Besides, the Moonlit Palace maintains the offensive, holding the upper hand."

Such words might deceive some martial artists with poor perception.

However, the Master of Ceremonies and Amaterasu Chizuru, upon hearing this, felt embarrassed and didn’t reply.

They could see clearly that the Moonlit Palace had not lost only because Murong Haitang hadn’t counterattacked.

It seemed as if this person was merely toying with and mocking the Moonlit Palace.

A moment later, after continuous attacks, the Moonlit Palace’s inner Qi was heavily depleted, leaving him panting, face red, and forehead sweating.

Chen Tang still appeared unperturbed, neither hurried nor impatient.

If this continues, without a counterattack from Chen Tang, the Moonlit Palace would exhaust himself first!

At this moment, the elder who had just left quickly returned, sat beside the Moon Night Warehouse, and handed over a dark-sheathed weapon from his chest.

The Moon Night Warehouse, without betraying the slightest emotion, took the sheathed weapon and quietly slipped it into Tsukiyama Tairou’s hand.

Tsukiyama Tairou, upon looking down, involuntarily contracted his pupils, greatly startled!

Judging by the weapon’s hilt, it was indeed the Moonlit Sword, the Moon Night Race’s divine artifact!

"Don’t make a sound."

The Moon Night Warehouse gathered Qi into a line and conveyed, "The honor of the Moonlit Race rests on your shoulders; there must be no failure!"

Tsukiyama Tairou hesitated.

Using the divine artifact, the Moonlit Sword, would make his victory less commendable, even if he won.

The Moonlit Guard quietly said, "Nephew, don’t hesitate; this battle concerns the Moonlit Race’s reputation; you must win, not lose!"

Tsukiyama Tairou felt a heaviness in his heart.

He bit his lip, took a deep breath, and respectfully accepted the Moonlit Sword, attaching it to his waist.

The interaction among the three was very discreet.

Only a few people present noticed something.

From across the Amaterasu Race members, Shen Che couldn’t see what was happening over there, but he vaguely guessed, frowning secretly.

At this moment, an elderly voice sounded.

"Moonlit Palace, come down."

It was the voice of a nation’s Military Lord, the Moon Night Warehouse, who spoke. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Feeling the intense gazes and hearing the murmurs around him, the Moonlit Palace’s face turned incredibly unsightly, with an unwilling expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Chief, I haven’t lost yet!"

"When I tell you to come down, you come down. Say no more, haven’t you embarrassed us enough?"

The Moonlit Guard, with a cold face, shouted fiercely.

In full view, being scolded like this, the Moonlit Palace’s face turned blue, then purple, feeling utterly ashamed, his chest almost exploding, head dizzy.

"Ah!"

The Moonlit Palace roared in anger, abruptly turned, and charged toward Chen Tang, drawing his blade again!

The flash of a blade.

Sizzle!

Blood gleamed.

The Moonlit Palace cried out in pain, clutching his wrist tightly, as blood slowly seeped out, dripping onto the battlefield.

It all happened too quickly.

So much so that many people didn’t see what just transpired.

But the Moonlit Palace understood.

This time, he didn’t even draw his blade out before this person across from him sliced his wrist!

He lost.

And it was a complete and utter defeat!

"Truly worthless!"

The Moonlit Guard, with a few leaps, arrived at the battlefield, grabbed the Moonlit Palace, and ruthlessly threw him toward the family!

Bang!

The Moonlit Palace struck the ground before his kin, covered in dust, slowly crawling up, almost gritting his teeth to pieces, lowering his head, utterly ashamed, silently returning to the crowd.

No one from the Moonlit Race spoke, nor did anyone console him, their gazes were icy.

To the Moonlit Race, a loser is not worthy of sympathy!

Tsukiyama Tairou merely took one look before averting his gaze, stabilizing his mind.

Initially, Shen Che was somewhat worried about Chen Tang.

However, after observing, he found that although Chen Tang spoke arrogantly, behaving conceited and disdainful, he was very measured in his actions.

From start to finish, he didn’t take lives.

Thus, there remained room to maneuver.

"I’ll fight you!"

At this moment, a voice from the Moonlit Race interrupted Shen Che’s thoughts.

He glanced over to see Tsukiyama Tairou stand up from the crowd, walking onto the main battlefield, his hand tightly gripping a dark-sheathed weapon at his waist.

So tightly, his arm trembled slightly, fingers turning pale.

"Tsukiyama Tairou is up!"

"Tairou, Tairou!"

From the crowd arose chants and screams, sweeping away the previously oppressive, dull atmosphere.

The Master of Ceremonies was somewhat excited, saying, "I didn’t expect that on the first day of the Genius Battle, we would witness a fierce struggle between dragon and tiger! Tsukiyama Tairou, Fourth Grade cultivation, is the strongest among the young generation of the Moonlit Race!"

"He is hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of the Moonlit Race!"

"In this Genius Battle, he is a strong contender for first place!"

"..."

The Master of Ceremonies quickly spewed out information about Tsukiyama Tairou in one breath, causing a huge uproar among spectators, soon pushing the atmosphere on site to its peak!
