Chapter 41: Hongjun and Yangmei

Click!

Several black pieces scattered on the chessboard, and he threw the pieces to admit defeat.

"I, I admit defeat!"

As expected.

Yang Jian didn't even persist until the middle stage before throwing the pieces to admit defeat.

It wasn't that his Dao heart wasn't firm enough.

It was that the pressure he faced was too terrifying.

Hongjun didn't talk to him a single word.

But his aura directly suppressed him until he couldn't breathe.

Every piece fell into his heart tribulation.

All his thoughts seemed to have nowhere to hide in front of this old man.

He could always place pieces where he was planning to place them.

It was like persuading him to surrender, waiting for him to abandon the pieces.

The most outrageous move.

Was when Yang Jian was calculating in his heart how the old man would seal his battlefield.

Repeatedly calculating and planning in his heart, it took a full half an hour.

Calculated the chess path forty moves later and made a planning point.

But just as the black piece fell.

He saw the white piece directly fall on the point he had planned.

This white piece was a completely meaningless move, unrelated to the current situation.

But it fell very accurately on the point he was thinking about.

Separated by more than a dozen moves of fighting, separated by the current chess path, directly pointing at that position.

It was like telling you, you have been completely seen through by me!

At this moment, Yang Jian directly collapsed.

How is this possible...

How is it possible to win?!

If facing Li Xiang made Yang Jian start to doubt life.

Then facing Hongjun made Yang Jian start to think about whether his existence had any meaning, and whether his destiny had been arranged long ago.

Facing those ancient, waveless eyes, he couldn't raise any desire to win or lose.

Only feeling terror, feeling a kind of fear of being seen through from birth to death.

No!

Even more!

Perhaps his previous life, and the life before that, had all been seen clearly by him.

Yang Jian abandoned the pieces and admitted defeat.

Just at this moment, the old man actually nodded!

Rarely speaking a word.

"Good character, Yuding has taken a good disciple."

"Practice diligently in the future, and you can prove the Sub-Sage."

"Go down."

He really knew what he was thinking!

"Yes... senior."

Yang Jian retreated.

The naughty boy stood up and sighed.

He pointed a clear light at Yang Jian, which fell on him.

"Alas, what a pity."

"Today's events, you will treat as a dream and forget everything."

"I thought that a person in the mortal world would have three points of cleverness in placing pieces, but unfortunately, it is hard to resist Heaven's will."

"Give you an opportunity; in the future, when you prove the Sub-Sage, you will have Heaven's help."

"Go, go."

The green light fell, and Yang Jian's figure suddenly became blurry.

The whole person was chaotic, walking toward the outside of the Immortal Abode.

Before long, he disappeared into the fog outside the gate, presumably returning to the original time and space.

Li Xiang frowned.

Yang Jian's chess skills were actually not weak, even very strong.

If it weren't for his cheating, it would be very difficult for him to win.

But even so, he couldn't even walk past twenty pieces under Hongjun.

What a terrifying guy.

Hongjun...

The pressure of these two words was too strong.

Dao Ancestor!

No wonder the naughty boy said earlier that he could call him Teacher.

All cultivators in the world are disciples of the Dao Ancestor.

Playing chess against the Dao Ancestor, to some extent.

Is playing chess against Heaven!

This encounter was truly bizarre.

"Alright, you three, who will go and try again?"

"This old guy's cultivation is too strong, his method of calculating numbers is too much better than yours, which is a bit unfair."

"This time, I will give you some blessings."

"Then next, who wants to go up and try with him first?"

The naughty boy smiled and looked at the crowd.

Today, he didn't really intend for anyone to win against Hongjun.

As long as someone could play with him until the middle stage, it would be considered that he had dampened Hongjun's spirit.

Heaven's Dao is forty-nine, with one ray of life left.

These mortals sometimes bring some unexpected surprises.

"Then let me try with this old senior."

The speaker was Kongming.

It was just that at this moment, Mr. Kongming's changes were indeed very large.

The originally old face and body had returned to youth.

Heroic and spirited, holding a feather fan, wearing a blue-black long gown, he was truly a beautiful man.

Ginseng Fruit, extending life for 48,000 years.

Now he didn't have to worry about the decay of blood and Qi at all.

Kongming sat down, bowed to Hongjun, and began to place pieces.

It was just that although Kongming was blessed by the spirit fruit and returned to his youth, and his wisdom was close to a demon.

He was still not enough in front of Hongjun, and after only fifteen moves, Kongming was already sweating profusely, and his Dao heart was in chaos.

Just at this moment, a point of green light fell.

A change in space-time power occurred around Kongming, and the light in his eyes changed again and again.

A powerful, ancient, deep, and vast momentum came from him.

Even Hongjun in front of him was slightly surprised.

"Sub-Sage."

Time power flowed, as if it was fixed at the most powerful moment of Kongming's life.

At this moment, his aura was restrained, and the light in his eyes revealed wisdom that could see through everything.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

"I pay my respects to Teacher, and to Senior Yangmei."

The two smiled without saying a word.

"Good!"

Kongming didn't say much, and his heart was already clear.

Reaching out to take a black piece, he prepared to continue placing pieces.

Because of the significant improvement in cultivation, his calculation ability also increased, and the chess game that he was ready to give up was very difficultly persisted.

The two connected their calculations, calculating the other party's thoughts in nearly infinite results.

But in the end, it is hard to ask about Heaven's will since ancient times.

At the thirtieth move, Kongming abandoned the pieces and admitted defeat, bowing to Hongjun and Yangmei.

Yangmei didn't talk nonsense, a green light flashed, fixing Kongming back to the past,

giving him an opportunity; when he ascends in the future, there will be extra surprises.

Immediately, Kongming's figure slowly dissipated, and today's events would only be treated as a big dream, forgotten in his mind.

"Who is next?"

It is hard to ask about Heaven's will since ancient times.

Playing chess against Heaven.

This requires great courage.

Yang Jian, Kongming, both failed.

Not to mention playing chess, even placing pieces, they couldn't place a few.

They were already suppressed until they couldn't breathe.

Wu Zetian looked at Hongjun, bowed to the two seniors, and chose to admit defeat directly.

Her chess skills were far inferior to Kongming's; since Kongming had already failed, there was no point in going up.

Emperors pay attention to trade-offs and advancement and retreat.

She simply turned around and prepared to leave.

Yangmei smiled and didn't blame her, also tapping lightly, giving her an opportunity, and sending her back to her own world.

When she woke up, she would only treat it as a dream and not remember a thing.

It was just that in the future, when the dragon rises, there might be an opportunity to descend.

In this way, on the scene, only Li Xiang was left.

Looking at Yangmei and Hongjun.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and sat slowly in front of Hongjun.

He was also very curious about how far he would go with the blessing of space-time power and the chessboard.

"I pay my respects to Teacher."

Hongjun smiled and responded casually.

"Good!"

Just the next moment, his expression suddenly couldn't laugh.

No reason.

Just because Li Xiang's first move.

Directly fell on the center of the chessboard.

Tianyuan!

Can't write anymore, sleep, will continue to work after waking up.
