saint of humanity

When Lu Ye saw those blood lines just now, he felt that they were crisscrossed and quite methodical. Now, after looking carefully, he found that these crisscrossing blood lines cut the huge void into countless square chess squares, forming a huge chessboard.

The chessboard was not an ordinary flat chessboard, but a three-dimensional, square object that covered the entire battlefield.

The four people in this city are located in one of the chess squares. There is an unknown force blocking the four directions, preventing people from leaving.

Lu Ye raised his hand to press the knife, originally wanting to see if he could forcefully break the chessboard and leave. However, the knife was only three inches out of the sheath when Yuan Xi pushed it back: "Don't act rashly. The chess game is set, so you can only act according to the rules of the Starry Sky Chessboard, otherwise you will be attacked by the treasure."

Lian even pointed to the side and said, "Look over there."

Lu Ye immediately looked over there and saw a cultivator mobilizing his strength to attack in all directions. However, the next moment, green flames appeared all over the cultivator's body, burning fiercely, and he let out a shrill scream that was heart-wrenching. In the blink of an eye, the cultivator was burned to ashes, and not even his storage ring and Taoist bones were left.

This situation did not occur in just one place. With so many monks falling into the chess game, some of them were curious and wanted to try it out. However, they lost their lives as a result of the test.

Lu Ye frowned: "Starry sky chessboard, do we have to play chess here?" He instinctively felt that things would not be that simple, and there were so many people in the chess game, if they really wanted to play chess, how should they play?
Lian smiled bitterly and said, "We have to play chess, but I'm afraid we can only be chess pieces. There are many kinds of chess games on the Starry Sky Chessboard, but there are too many people participating this time. If I'm not mistaken, the game that will be played should be Legion Chess." As she said this, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Yuan Xi: "Xi, I guess it depends on you."

Yuan Xi had a distressed look on his face, but he also knew that it was his duty, so he nodded solemnly: "I'll try my best!"

As if explaining it specifically to Lu Ye, Lian said again: "The chess game is done, then the next step for the Starry Sky Chessboard is to select the chess player. Generally speaking, it chooses the strongest player from both sides as the chess player, so if nothing unexpected happens, our chess player will be Yuan Xi!"

Shouzhu may have the capital to compete with Yuanxi, but that is the premise that Yuanxi does not use the second form of Taoist soldiers. Now that Yuanxi is covered in white armor, Shouzhu cannot be her opponent, not to mention that after this battle, Shouzhu has consumed a lot of energy and is injured.

Therefore, the chess player chosen by our side is most likely Yuan Xi.

Lu Ye suddenly felt a little numb: "How is the city lord's chess skill?"

The main reason is that the city lord himself always gives people the impression that she is not very smart. Lu Ye feels that her chess skills should not be that good.

Lian remained silent, finding it difficult to speak. Yuan Xi glanced away.

Lu Ye was completely numb...

Lian said, "Actually, this kind of competition has little to do with the level of chess skills. After all, it's not a real game of chess. Xi, don't feel too stressed."

Yuan Xi looked nonchalant: "I don't feel any pressure. Other people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with me. Anyway, I will just take good care of you guys when the time comes."

If Yuan Xizhen is chosen as a chess player, it will undoubtedly be good news for his team, because they will definitely receive extra care. At that time, they will be in the chess game and listed as chess pieces. Many times, their actions are not under their control and can only be controlled by the chess player.

If someone else were to be the chess player, who knows what kind of accidents would happen.

Lian said solemnly: "Don't play chess with this mentality. In the game of chess, the chess pieces are the helpers, and the chess player is the foundation. If the opponent bypasses the game of chess and directly defeats you, then no matter how much advantage we have on the chessboard, it will be useless."

"I understand." Yuan Xi looked conflicted.

Both women deliberately did not make their words too clear, for fear of putting too much pressure on Lu Ye and Huan Qing.

At this moment, Lu Ye suddenly had an idea and took out the musical note to investigate. He then frowned and said, "Xiao Die sent a message saying that our city has also been enveloped in the chess game, and it seems that the connection with the Hehe Realm has been cut off."

If the connection with the Hehe Realm is cut off, it means that as long as you are in the chess game, you will not be able to use the Hedao Pearl to enter the Hehe Realm and hide.

Lian nodded and said, "Tell her not to panic. This is normal. In the chess game, the inside and outside are isolated. This is the power of the treasure. The Hehe Realm cannot resist it. Moreover, not only that, even the increase in the power of the Hedao Pearl to the city lord level strongman will temporarily disappear."

To a certain extent, the Starry Sky Chessboard suppressed the power of the Hedao Pearl, which is why it severed its connection with the Hehe Realm.

When Lu Ye heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In the chess game, the city lord-level strongman can't enjoy the amplification of the Hedao Pearl? If so, it is undoubtedly good news for our side.

Because in comparison, the number of city lord-level strongmen on their side is smaller. Under this rule, it will undoubtedly make up for some of the gap in strength between them.

Lian suddenly looked at Yuan Xi: "If you are really chosen as a chess player, you must find a way to send Xiaodie back to this city as soon as possible."

Only by sending Youdie back to the city can she activate the secret technique left by Shen, so that the city can be hidden and not be disturbed.

Lu Ye was confused: "Isn't Xiaodie in the city?"

Lian replied, "She is in the city right now, but she won't be there once the game starts."

While the few people here were talking, in Blackblood City, Blackblood had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and kept muttering: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

He finally figured out why Xue Ju wanted to reveal the secret of controlling the Sky Mirror. It turned out that it was to lure out the Starry Sky Chessboard!

From this point of view, Xuejiu had already known that the Starry Sky Chessboard was hidden here, so he invested a large number of troops, and that was why he decided to delay the battle.

He was actually very confused before, because if the power of their two Universe-level Hedao Cities were put into the war, they would have achieved some achievements long ago. However, under the order of Xue Ju, they could not act rashly. Only Jiao Shan was in charge, but in the end, nothing was accomplished.

Now that the chess game is set, the way of fighting has changed a lot, but since that person wants the starry sky chessboard, he must of course go all out and follow his wishes.

"Choose a player!"

That hollow and old voice sounded again.

At the same time, a ball of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere. After the light appeared, it split into two, one white and the other black. It shuttled through the battlefield. The white light instantly came in front of Yuan Xi and fell on her head.

And that ball of black light floated directly towards the black blood and also fell on his head.

Heixue immediately straightened his chest, with an arrogant attitude, as if no one else could do it better than him.

And in a chessboard not far away from Yuan Xicheng and the other four, Jiao watched this scene from afar and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

If he had not been injured before, how could the position of chess player have fallen into the hands of Heixue!

The rule of the Starry Sky Chessboard is to select the strongest player from each of the two competing parties as the chess player.

Yuan Xi has been maintaining the second form of Taoist soldier. He is undoubtedly the strongest among his team and would naturally be chosen as the chess player. This is also the same as Lian's previous prediction.

On the side of Blood Drinking City, if Jiao had not been injured, the identity of the chess player should have been his. But now it has been taken advantage of by Heixue, and of course he is unwilling to accept it.

Xue Ju's plan is a treasure. In such a special battle, the roles that chess pieces and chess players can play are completely different, and the contributions they can make are also incomparable.

As the two balls of light fell, Lu Ye's hand suddenly felt lighter, and Yuan Xi, who had been standing in front of him, suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, he caught a glimpse of a rapidly expanding light out of the corner of his eye.

I looked up and was surprised.

Because that flash of light was Yuan Xi's figure. At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on one side of the starry sky chessboard, her brows were twisted, and she looked bitter and resentful. Her body was constantly expanding, and white light enveloped her side, making her look like a god.

It didn't stop until the figure expanded to be several times larger than the entire starry sky chessboard.

From a distance, Yuan Xi seemed to have turned into a giant with a glowing body.

At the same time, opposite her, the huge figure of Heixue also expanded and became the same size as Yuanxi.

The only difference was the color of the light on the two people. Yuan Xi's was white, and Heixue's was black. The two rays of light were like two layers of solid protection, covering their entire bodies and making them look indestructible.

Two huge figures sat opposite each other across a starry chessboard. In the chess game, all the cultivators were chess pieces.

Lu Yeguan took a look and couldn't help but frowned: "Master, can chess players attack each other?"

The reason he asked this question was because he sensed something was not right. After listening to Lian and Yuanxi's stories, he thought that the two chess players only needed to place the pieces. But if that was the case, then what was going on with the light surrounding Yuanxi and Heixue?

That was obviously an extremely powerful protective force.

If it is a protective force, then what is it defending against?
Lian sighed, "That's why I said, in a chess game, the chess pieces are the helpers, but the chess player is the foundation! This game is a life-and-death battle between Yuanxi and Heixue. Whoever wins will live!"

Lu Ye's expression froze: "What can we do?"

Lian said, "Kill the enemies! The more we kill, the less pressure Yuan Xi will feel. The offensive and defensive power that these two chess players can display is closely related to the performance of our chess pieces."

Lu Ye remained silent, but he tightened his grip on the knife.

He didn't expect that after being chosen as a chess player, Yuan Xi would face a life-and-death battle.

If she really has to fight alone, she will not be inferior to Black Blood. Although Yuanxi City is only at the Hong level, with the blessing of this city, she can be regarded as a powerful Zhou-level city lord.

If the second form of Taoist soldiers is unlocked, Black Blood will most likely not be his opponent.

But this is not a one-man show. Her life and death are directly related to the performance of many chess pieces. So if she wants to survive, she must take charge of the overall situation and use the power of many chess pieces in the game. (End of this chapter)
