Chapter 491

~6 min read 1,072 words

The sound of the piece landing was still light, but the position where the piece landed was not to deal with the "Knight" that had penetrated deep into the abdomen, but pointed to another seemingly irrelevant key point.

This step, as if a switch was activated.

Immediately after, "Click, click, click!"

Natsume Chikage’s speed of placing pieces suddenly accelerated, and in a few steps, a set of flowing combination punches unfolded!

He didn't care about the "inserted" Knight at all, but instead used the gap of the "Qi" where the piece was temporarily unable to move after penetrating deep and needed subsequent support.

Concentrating firepower, he attacked the middle road and the other flank of Suzuki Takayuki, which were slightly empty due to the mobilization of pieces to support the insertion, like a thunderbolt!

That attack network originally conceived by Suzuki Takayuki instantly turned into a rope that entangled himself!

That "inserted" Knight, not only failed to rescue the original "lone piece," but became a burden that needed to be rescued and was trapped deeper in the quagmire!

"What?!" Suzuki Takayuki’s confidence froze instantly, turning into astonishment.

He never expected that the opponent not only saw through his "using the plan against him," but also used his "insertion" as a horn to launch a general attack!

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead instantly.

He panicked completely, his face became extremely ugly, and there was no sense of ease at all.

His brain operated at an unprecedented speed, trying to find a way to break the siege.

The long thinking began.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

On the timer, his time passed rapidly.

Finally, he made a difficult move.

And opposite, Natsume Chikage still maintained a near-terrifying "second response" rhythm, placing a piece again, precisely stepping on his most uncomfortable point.

Click—

Suzuki Takayuki thought deeply again, sweat appeared on his forehead at some point, and then he placed a piece.

Click—

Natsume placed a piece again, without hesitation.

Suzuki’s breathing became heavy, his face ugly.

You are facing a quasi-professional player like me, why can you still play so fast?

No!

This guy has always played like this... I understand, he must just be using this fast chess playing method to disturb my thoughts.

Right!

It must be like this!

No, I can't continue to be disturbed!

Even the quasi-professional Suzuki Takayuki thought of this, calmed his thoughts, and calmed down.

Showing the mentality that this rank should have.

However...

Every crisp sound of Natsume Chikage’s piece landing, although it didn't make Suzuki Takayuki fall into fear.

But it was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the increasingly excited nerves of the audience.

The commentary desk was completely boiling!

Inoue Masazo’s voice trembled with excitement:

"My God! It’s reversed! Completely reversed!"

"Contestant Natsume did not fall into Contestant Suzuki’s expected offensive and defensive rhythm, he used Contestant Suzuki’s 'insertion' to launch an unexpected frontal strong attack! Contestant Suzuki’s formation has flaws!"

Nanjo Maiko was also unbelievable:

"Too wonderful! This is using the plan against him and then counter-attacking!"

"Contestant Natsume’s practical handling is very good, now he has mastered the absolute initiative, pressing step by step!"

The audience was in an uproar!

Exclamations and discussions rose suddenly.

No one expected that Suzuki Takayuki, who occupied a small first-move advantage, would be reversed by Natsume Chikage, who was the second move, in the middle game in such a frontal and tough way, and fall into a dilemma of retreating step by step!

Fukuda Tsukasa opened his mouth wide, unbelievable.

Horikawa Kaori held her hands in front of her chest, very happy.

Asahina Akatsuki held her breath, her beautiful eyes gradually becoming only Natsume Chikage’s figure.

And Tanabe Yuto had a heavy and annoyed face.

Takayuki, what the hell are you doing!!

Hurry up and counterattack!!

Furukawa Masahiro smiled while stroking his beard, Furukawa Saio shook her little legs excitedly.

At this time.

On the chessboard, Suzuki Takayuki’s defeat was becoming more and more obvious.

Even if his expression was calm.

But on the chessboard, he was left and right, barely resisting, but the formation had been torn, the efficiency of the pieces was low, and the King City was in an emergency.

Finally, Suzuki Takayuki, who was forced into a desperate situation, finally changed his expression, becoming pale.

But at this moment, he finally saw the last glimmer of light—a complex change point.

He could place a piece in a key position.

This move looked like a carefully laid trap, inducing the opponent to eat, and then launching a complex mutual kill.

But in fact, this is not a real trap, but a "bluff."

If the opponent is cautious and chooses steady defense or avoidance, then he will regain the defense line and even find room for counterattack because of the "first-move cheapness" and breathing space brought by this move.

He knew Xia Xia Xia Mujun’s playing style just now.

Steady with advancement.

In this case.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun will definitely fall for it!

Suzuki Takayuki exhausted his last time, with the determination to fight to the death, and placed this "bluff" piece.

When placing it, he stared fixedly at Natsume Chikage’s eyes, trying to convey the tension of "there is a trap here."

However.

Natsume Chikage’s gaze didn't even stay on this move for more than 0.1 seconds.

His sight seemed to pierce through all the bluffing on the chessboard, directly locking onto the only path to victory, the simplest and most violent path.

Then.

Lift hand.

Take piece.

Place.

Clap—

A crisp sound that seemed louder and more decisive than any previous one!

Natsume Chikage’s piece, without half a hesitation, crushed that "bluff" point frontally with the most barbaric and direct posture, inserting directly into the core defensive weakness of Suzuki Takayuki’s King City!

Not cracking, but ignoring!

Not calculating the trap, but not giving the opportunity to set a trap at all!

"Boom—!"

Suzuki Takayuki’s brain was blank, the blood on his face faded, leaving only boundless shock and trance.

Done.

After a few more moves.

All the defense lines began to collapse.

The King’s escape route was completely blocked.

He looked pale, stared blankly at the chessboard, and for a long time, he painfully and tremblingly reached out and gently pushed over his "King," which had nowhere to escape.

"Bang."

A light sound, but heavy as a thousand pounds.

"I... lost."

The voice was dry and hoarse.
