Li Xuan asked curiously, "What chess soul are you?"
The black-robed Chess Soul smiled without answering. "You humans are too curious. Now isn't the time to explain this. You should fulfill your promise."
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "Take Ya 'er down the mountain first. I alone will be enough to destroy the Guardian cocoon."
Before Li Xuan and Feng Qiuyan could say a word, the black-robed Chess Soul said, "It's useless. Once the Guardian breaks out of the cocoon, the nearby area will be under its control. Ignoring the foot of the mountain, even if you walk another 50 kilometers, you will still be within its range."
However, Zhou Wen didn't care. He got Li Xuan and company to go down the mountain while he stood in front of the Guardian cocoon alone.
As he didn't know what abilities the Guardian inside had, Zhou Wen didn't forcefully break out of the cocoon. He summoned Explosive Fiend Man and got him to use the Time Bomb skill on the cocoon.
"When I'm far away, I'll blast open the Guardian cocoon. It's best you stay far away." As Zhou Wen spoke, he descended the mountain and retreated a distance with Ya 'er and company.
When he reached the limit of Explosive Fiend Man's control, Zhou Wen ordered Explosive Fiend Man to detonate the Time Bomb skill that covered the Guardian cocoon.
Boom!
With an earth-shattering boom, the Guardian cocoon was blasted into pieces, and the Guardian inside appeared.
Guardians were basically in humanoid form. Although they were slightly different from real humans, the difference would not be too great. At most, they would have wings or a head that looked like an animal.
However, the Guardian in front of him looked completely different. At first glance, he didn't find anything humanoid about it.
This Guardian looked like a canine or feline, but its body wasn't made of flesh and blood. Its outer shell looked like metal, like a mechanical creature.
The moment this strange Guardian appeared, it immediately confronted the black-robed Chess Soul. A powerful aura erupted between the soul and the Guardian.
"Is the battle about to begin?" Li Xuan said excitedly as he looked at the mountaintop.
"It has long begun." Zhou Wen looked around. Ever since the Guardian appeared, a certain nomological power had already covered a large area. They were already far enough from Mt. Chinese Chess, but they were still in this area.
Furthermore, this kind of Rule Power was obviously different from the Rule Power of Mt. Chinese Chess itself.
Zhou Wen also looked at the mountaintop. This battle might be different from ordinary battles. After all, the powers possessed by the Chess Soul and Guardian were different from ordinary combat-type Guardians and dimensional creatures.
Just as Zhou Wen was looking forward to their battle, he saw them sit down in front of the chessboard again.
"What the hell! So it's still chess! "Li Xuan said in disappointment.
However, what they saw next was somewhat different from what they had imagined.
The chess pieces on the chessboard automatically exploded, and even the chessboard became somewhat different.
Dang!
A chess piece landed on the chessboard. The three of them looked at it and saw that it was the chess piece they were familiar with. It was a Horse chess piece.
"Dodge!" The moment the chess piece landed, Zhou Wen felt his heart palpitate. He pushed Feng Qiuyan and Li Xuan and quickly retreated with Ya 'er in his arms.
Rumble!
There was a huge hoof print where they had been standing, as if an invisible and terrifying creature had landed there.
Thankfully, Zhou Wen had reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, the few of them would have been flattened.
"What the hell is this?" Li Xuan got up and threw out a Gu. The Gu charged towards the horse's hoof print, but it charged past it as though there was nothing there.
Boom!
Another loud bang sounded. Not far from them, a hill collapsed as though something heavy had smashed down.
Zhou Wen hurriedly looked at the chessboard and saw that there was an additional chess piece on it. It was the black-robed Chess Soul's piece.
The chess piece was different from the Guardian's chess piece. Although it was also a horse, there were no words written on it. Instead, it was a statue chess piece in the shape of a horse's head.
"That chess piece should be the West District's Chinese Chess, right?" Zhou Wen said with a strange expression.
"It should be. Although I've never played it before, I've seen others play it before. It should be the West District's Chinese Chess. It's completely different from the East District's Chinese Chess." Li Xuan used his Bug Eyes skill to see the chessboard on the mountain.
Boom! Boom!
As the Guardian and the black-robed Chess Soul kept placing their pieces, the surrounding space seemed to fall from an invisible giant, constantly shattering the ground, mountains, and rivers.
As for the Guardian, it seemed to be targeting them. Every time it placed a piece, it would cause a disaster where they were. Zhou Wen and company could only constantly move to avoid the disaster that appeared out of thin air.
"We can't stay here. We have to rush out." Li Xuan led the way and ran out.
However, the disaster continued to descend, nearly hitting them several times.
This was because of the nomological power. If they were hit, they would probably be instantly killed. No matter how strong their bodies were, it was useless in front of the nomological power.
"Sit up." Zhou Wen summoned the Earth Elemental Beast and got Li Xuan and company to sit on it. Then, he got the Earth Elemental Beast to use Earth Escape to leave.
However, when the Earth Elemental Beast used Earth Escape to about fifty kilometers away, it couldn't leave. No matter how it used Earth Escape, it kept circling the edges.
Zhou Wen used the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder and attempted to take a step out. He managed to leave, but Ya 'er was isolated inside and wasn't brought out by him.
"From the looks of it, the area within fifty kilometers has become a chessboard corresponding to the chess game. The place where the chess pieces land will produce a connection with the corresponding spot, causing terrifying destructive power," Feng Qiuyan said.
Boom!
Another chess piece landed where they were standing. Thankfully, Zhou Wen had already seen where the chess pieces landed on the chessboard and determined the corresponding spot in reality. He dodged with them.
I can only finish that Guardian. Zhou Wen handed Ya 'er to Li Xuan and rode the Earth Elemental Beast to the side, heading straight for Mt. Chinese Chess's Earth Escape.
He didn't care about the rules. He wanted to kill the Guardian.
Perhaps the Guardian's target was Zhou Wen. The moment Zhou Wen appeared, its chess piece landed again. This time, it was a cannon piece. When it landed, it left a huge cannon crater on the ground.
Zhou Wen had the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder protecting him, so he ignored the rules. He pulled out Sword Concealment and slashed at the Guardian that resembled a robot dog. He wanted to kill it and end this terrifying chess game.
