Chapter 72 - Chapter 72 — Moonlight Duel

The moon hung high in the sky, glowing with a cold silver light.

The silence of space had long been shattered. Waves of energy rippled through the air, causing the lunar surface to tremble.

Wang floated above the cracked ground of the moon. His aura flickered like a steady flame, powerful yet controlled. His body was tense, ready for anything.

Across from him stood Diana.

Moonlight gathered around her as if it obeyed her will. Her long silver hair drifted slowly in the weightless air. There was something majestic about her presence—beautiful, yet terrifying.

Wang spoke calmly.

"So… you're the guardian of the moon."

Diana looked at him without emotion.

"And you are the ally of that boy."

For a moment, neither of them moved.

Then—

WHOOSH!

Diana vanished.

Wang's eyes sharpened instantly.

"Behind—!"

BOOOOM!

Diana appeared behind him and unleashed a powerful strike infused with lunar energy.

Wang crossed his arms and created a glowing energy shield just in time.

The impact exploded like thunder across the moon's surface.

The force pushed Wang several meters back, his feet carving deep lines into the lunar dust.

Diana hovered calmly.

"Not bad."

Wang smiled slightly.

"That was only the beginning."

WHOOOOOM!

His aura expanded suddenly.

Energy burst outward from his body like a shockwave.

In the next instant, Wang shot forward.

His speed resembled a meteor tearing across the sky.

His fist rushed toward Diana.

Diana tilted her body and slipped past the attack.

BOOOOM!

The punch struck the lunar surface behind her, creating a massive crater.

Chunks of rock floated into space.

Diana raised her hand slowly.

Moonlight gathered around her palm.

"Lunar Pulse."

BOOOOOOM!

A massive wave of lunar energy blasted toward Wang.

Wang reacted instantly.

He thrust his hand forward.

A powerful barrier formed.

The energy collided with it violently.

The shockwave shook the moon itself.

Cracks spread across the surface.

Wang exhaled slowly.

"That power…"

Diana narrowed her eyes.

"You haven't seen anything yet."

Suddenly she rose higher into the air.

Moonlight began gathering around her body.

It was as if the moon itself was strengthening her.

Wang immediately sensed it.

His expression grew serious.

"So you can draw power directly from the moon…"

Diana replied quietly.

"Exactly."

She lowered her hand.

"Moonfall."

Suddenly the sky filled with light.

Hundreds of glowing spears formed above them.

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

The spears rained down like a meteor storm.

Wang moved instantly.

His body flashed across the battlefield as he dodged the attacks.

Each spear struck the moon with explosive force.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The lunar surface shattered with every impact.

Craters formed everywhere.

Wang suddenly stopped.

"What about my turn?"

WHOOOOOM!

His body flared with energy.

He brought his hands together.

A sphere of energy began forming between his palms.

It glowed like a miniature star.

"Celestial Burst."

He launched the sphere toward Diana.

The energy sphere expanded rapidly as it flew.

Diana frowned slightly.

"So that's your move."

She raised both hands.

Moonlight gathered into a massive shield around her.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The explosion shook space itself.

Energy waves blasted across the lunar surface.

For a moment, nothing could be seen.

Dust and light filled everything.

Then—

WHOOSH!

Diana emerged from the smoke.

Almost completely unharmed.

Wang's eyes widened.

"Impossible…"

Diana looked at him calmly.

"This moon is my domain."

Suddenly she vanished again.

Wang sensed it.

But this time—

He was too late.

BOOOOM!

Diana's kick slammed into his chest.

Wang crashed into the ground like a meteor.

The moon's surface split open beneath him.

He tried to stand.

But Diana was already there.

BOOM!

A punch.

BOOM!

A kick.

BOOM!

A blast of lunar energy.

Wang was hit repeatedly.

His body was thrown from crater to crater.

Diana fought with flawless precision.

Every movement was perfect.

Finally Wang dropped to one knee.

His breathing grew heavy.

But then—

He laughed.

Diana raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you laughing?"

Wang lifted his head slowly.

"Because you're strong."

He stood up again.

His aura began rising once more.

"But this fight… isn't over yet."

WHOOOOOOOOOM!

Energy exploded around him again.

The lunar surface trembled.

Diana calmly took her fighting stance.

Moonlight began circling around her once more.

The two warriors stared at each other.

Space became silent again.

But that silence would not last.

Because the next clash…

would be even greater.
