All nine of them stepped onto the Celestial Dragon Chess Game together. Countless eyes were trained on them from all over Chess Peak in an instant.
Liu Zong invited all nine of them to form a matrix and stepped onto the Celestial Dragon Chess Game. Would they really be stronger than Ye Futian alone?
"Find your own opponents. I'll take control of the entire game," Liu Zong said. Everyone nodded and picked one person each, placing them on the chessboard.
"Let's begin," Liu Zong said again. Yang Xiao nodded and waved his hand, placing a piece.
Liu Zong returned the favor. Li Kaishan placed his second piece after that, and Mo Jun, who was beside Liu Zong, placed his second piece.
All 18 of them played at the same time. 18 different types of power of rules emanated from the Celestial Dragon Chess Game in an instant.
Ye Futian was targeting Jiu Gongzi, which put a strange look on Jiu Gongzi's face. However, Jiu Gongzi was not going to show any mercy, taking every step carefully.
"If you look at it in isolation, it would seem that all nine of them are playing their own matrixes. However, Yang Xiao has linked all nine of them into one, making the nine matrixes into one. Liu Zong must have seen that, which is why he tried to break the game in such a way. His way of playing is also at the height of the overall situation, restraining his opponents. It's very intricate," someone who was versed in chess said.
The game soon took shape. Liu Zong and the others each blocked one of their opponent's paths, suppressing their opponent's matrixes. Even when they were at a disadvantage at times, Liu Zong would make up for it from the overall situation. There were times when Liu Zong would personally point out where to place his piece.
A terrifying aura gradually appeared on the Celestial Dragon Chess Game. Ye Futian stood within it, surrounded by sword aura like a powerful sword matrix. However, the chess pieces around him turned into powerful starry rules, sealing all the sword aura within a certain area and cutting off the connection between the sword matrix and other matrixes at the same time.
Raging auras wreaked havoc on the Celestial Dragon Chess Game. It was extremely terrifying, but Liu Zong and the others were still not at a disadvantage at all.
"It really works." Everyone's eyes were sharp. Even the nine people in the game were fully focused, pouring all of their energy into the game.
The chess battle was getting more and more intense. At this time, Yang Xiao placed a piece, and suddenly there was a terrible momentum on the chessboard, forcibly breaking the deadlock, and combining the pieces of the chessboard into one. It was as if a real dragon was bending over and circling above the chessboard, and its momentum was astonishing.
Liu Zong's expression was particularly solemn. He then put down a piece and split the chessboard into nine pieces again, forcibly interrupting Yang Xiao's arrangement. Many people couldn't help but exclaim. This piece was simply a stroke of genius.
However, after that, Li Kaishan placed a piece and opened up a path. Many of the black pieces were immediately devoured. Mo Jun raised his hand, his expression extremely solemn.
His gaze fell on a position, and he was about to place a chess piece.
His eyes fell on one and was, and he placed a piece. Liu Zong interrupted Mo Jun. Mo Jun's eyes flashed as he discovered that Liu Zong's words were indeed more exquisite. With this move, he swallowed a few of Liu Zong's chess pieces.
Zon Mo. Everyone's expression was solemn, as if they were also in the game. Even the elder from Chess Saint Villa was the same, staring at the game. It was too exciting.
However, Yang Xiao's wife then placed a piece, revealing her killing intent once again. Dark clouds loomed over the chessboard.
It was as if every subsequent piece would contain the most powerful killing move.
Zhou Ziyi raised her arm, hesitating.
"Go to Six by Three," Liu Zong said. Zhou Ziyi nodded. She didn't have any doubts and directly placed the chess piece on the spot Liu Zong mentioned. As expected, the pressure on her was alleviated somewhat.
Then, the fourth, fifth, and sixth disciples of the Chess Saint moved their pieces, each of which was enough to affect the outcome of the game. The killing moves grew more and more powerful, and the pressure on the chessboard grew more and more terrifying.
Liu Zong even gave up on some of his pieces, cutting off an arm to survive in order to preserve the overall situation. It was a terrifying scene. Looking at the overall situation, Liu Zong's pieces had become powerful as well. If his opponent were to be even slightly careless, he would be able to devour them all. All he had to do was wait for an opportunity.
In the Celestial Dragon Chess Game, everyone other than Liu Zong was on guard. They were rather excited and expectant. Would they be able to break the game this time?
When Jiu Gongzi placed a piece, the entire game seemed to have come to life. Sword aura circled the chessboard, vaguely taking the shape of a dragon. All that stood in its way was cut down by the sword.
As soon as the piece was placed, the weather changed. It was as if the game was going to be settled in an instant. A terrifying pressure fell on Liu Zong and the others. They felt an extremely dangerous aura that could engulf them at any moment. It could also engulf the game.
The next piece was going to be of utmost importance.
Countless eyes fell upon Ye Futian. At that moment, Ye Futian activated Freedom Meditation. He felt as if he was in a terrifying battlefield, at the center of a storm. A true dragon floated before him. The scales of the dragon were like the sharpest of swords, ready to pierce through at any moment. His opponent's formation seemed to have yet to be fully formed, but it was actually ready to be unleashed.
Everyone stared at Ye Futian, including Liu Zong, Zhou Ziyi, and the others in the game. The pressure on the chessboard was frightening, as if it could destroy everything at any moment.
Ye Futian sighed inwardly and raised his hand. A piece materialized and was about to be placed.
"Move up seven by nine," Liu Zong said, interrupting Ye Futian's move.
Ye Futian's eyes sparkled as he looked at the move up seven by nine. A chessboard appeared in his mind, and the game before him was imprinted in his mind. If he were to place his next piece in the position that Liu Zong mentioned, the pieces on that side would be able to gather a powerful force.
"Impressive." Zhou Zichao and the others were all amazed. The position that Liu Zong mentioned was undoubtedly the best place to place his piece.
However, Ye Futian did not place his piece. He had a feeling that if he were to place his piece, the situation might seem to be salvageable, but it could also be a bottomless abyss that would devour them right there and then.
"What are you hesitating about?" Zhou Ziyi asked Ye Futian. The position that Liu Zong mentioned was definitely the best place to place his piece. There was nothing to nitpick about, but Ye Futian was still thinking about it.
The others looked at Ye Futian as well, not knowing what he was hesitating about.
"You can't place that piece," Ye Futian said.
Many on Chess Peak looked surprised as soon as he said that. Ye Futian actually said that the position that Liu Zong mentioned could not be placed.
That piece, no matter how one looked at it, was the strongest position.
Ye Futian, however, was hesitating. He did not want to place that piece.
That made many frown. Could it be that he was trying to make himself stand out from the masses?
Sage Wanxiang's eyes were fixed on the chess game. He was also running simulations of the entire game in his mind. At the same time, he assumed that the position that Ye Futian placed his piece at was the Catastrophe position.
Ye Futian was not wrong. That piece looked exquisite, but he could not place it.
While he had yet to figure out why he could not place it, it looked like an extremely advantageous piece.
The Celestial Dragon Chess Game was unfathomable. The position of a single piece was enough to stump him, as well as confuse everyone else. Even Liu Zong felt that the position should be placed.
"Is there anything more suitable than this position?" Han Jing said, "Place your piece."
Ye Futian shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Ziyi looked at Ye Futian and asked suspiciously.
"Go." Ye Futian waved his hand and the piece was placed. Countless eyes were fixed on the place where the piece was placed. The pupils of many contracted as they stared at Ye Futian.
The position that he placed was not the one that Liu Zong had requested.
Moreover, this move seemed to be a useless move.
Liu Zong took a look at Ye Futian. Everyone on the chessboard looked at Ye Futian.
Yang Xiao took a good look at him as well, before waving his hand and placing another piece. That piece devoured another small area, and the situation began to tilt in Ye Futian's favor.
Everyone snapped out of their daze and no longer thought about that piece. The game was still there, after all.
However, the signs of defeat were already there. Many pieces on Liu Zong's side were devoured after a few rounds. Yang Xiao and the others continued to expand their advantage, and the outcome was determined in the end.
Liu Zong and the other eight lost in the end. They were unable to break the Celestial Dragon Chess Game.
Countless eyes were trained on the game. The defeat was very mild. Judging from the process, it could have been said to be a true showdown. It was an extremely exciting chess battle, and it was a pity that the Celestial Dragon Chess Game could not be broken.
Many could not help but recall Ye Futian's piece from before. What would have happened if he had placed that piece as Liu Zong had said?
Would the Celestial Dragon Chess Game have been broken?
No one knew, but the outcome was set, and it could not be changed no matter what.
Liu Zong looked at the game and turned around, leaving without saying anything.
However, the others remained standing there, staring at everything before them, looking rather reluctant.
Several cold eyes stared at Ye Futian. They were Liu Zong's junior, Mo Jun of Xihua Sacred Mountain, and Zhou Ziyi of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
Li Mu, Han Jing, and Goddess Qingni all looked at Ye Futian as well, but their expressions were calmer.
"Did you deliberately go against Liu Zong's will in order to highlight your own skills at chess?" Zhou Ziyi asked coldly. She felt that they were close to breaking the Celestial Dragon Chess Game, and it was ruined by a single piece. She was in a terrible mood.
Ye Futian looked at Zhou Ziyi's cold eyes and replied calmly, "If I had placed that piece, I would have lost even more quickly and badly."
"Is that so?" Zhou Ziyi smirked and said coldly, "So, you mean to say that your skills at chess are stronger than Liu Zong's?"
Ye Futian did not reply. The game was over, and no one knew what would have happened if that piece had been placed. There was nothing to explain.
"Don't you know your own skills at chess?" Zhou Ziyi said sarcastically and walked away. Zhou Zichao also took a glance at Ye Futian plainly.
"Palace Lord Ye." At that moment, Mo Jun looked at Ye Futian. He remembered that Ye Futian had actually doubted his senior, Liu Zong, while playing chess before.
"Do you know how to play chess?" Mo Jun's voice was calm, but the sarcasm was even more pronounced.
Ye Futian looked at Mo Jun, and Mo Jun said, "Palace Lord Ye, it must not have been easy for you to come all the way from the Barren State to join in the fun. Xihua Sacred Mountain will be holding the Nine State Forum soon. If Palace Lord Ye likes the fun, I can ask my teacher to allow Palace Lord Ye to bring people from the Barren State to watch the event."
