saint of humanity

Lu Ye didn't even turn his head. He unsheathed the long sword at his waist and swept it lightly behind him.

It was as if he was sweeping up the falling leaves, and after one strike, he put away the knife.

There were only four figures standing not far from him, each with an expression of disbelief.

Blood gushed out and bodies were torn apart.

Four balls of black light floated out from the four corpses and merged into Lu Ye's body. As the four balls of black light poured in, the white light on Lu Ye's body seemed to have some imperceptible changes.

He sensed it silently, then clenched his fist, and as the power of Tao surged, his brows raised slightly.

He did not mobilize his own Taoist power just now, but the power of four Taos was lingering on the tip of his fist!

The power of just four Daos was insignificant to him, but it was the reward for killing the enemy on the Starry Sky Chessboard.

The rule information that had just been imprinted into Lu Ye's mind explained this. Anyone who killed an enemy within the chess square would receive a corresponding reward.

However, the rules only vaguely mentioned these rewards, but did not specify what they were, so Lu Ye only knew about them at this moment.

These four forces are not his own power, but they can be used on the chessboard, which is equivalent to the external force borrowed by the Hedao.

His eyes couldn't help but brighten, this reward might seem like not much, but in fact it was exactly what he desired. Killing four Rong Dao would enhance the power of the four Daos. If he killed hundreds or thousands of them, wouldn't his strength skyrocket?
Right now, there are a large number of enemy Rong Dao on the starry sky chessboard. As long as he kills enough of them, the external force that can be borrowed can rise uncontrollably.

He immediately gave up his previous thoughts. Yuan Xi would definitely mobilize him and rush towards the city. During the journey, he would inevitably encounter the enemy and a fierce battle would be inevitable.

Instead of returning to the city and guarding it, it is better to take the opportunity to improve yourself. In such a situation, the stronger you are, the more ability you have to protect yourself.

Yuan Xi has made his move, and the next round is Heixue's.

Before Lu Ye could react, he saw a figure stepping into the chessboard where he was. It was a Zerg. Although it had a human form, it still had obvious Zerg characteristics. It was covered with an extremely strong white shell and held a bone long knife in its hand.

He just looked at Lu Ye with contempt, raised the long sword in his hand and swung it down, with Taoist power surging on the long sword.

His movements were careless, as if he was just trying to cut down a clump of weeds on the side of the road.

This Zerg was in the chess square next to him just now and witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Lu Ye killing the four Rong Dao with one sword, but he still did not take him seriously.

Because he did not feel any signs of the use of the power of the Hedao from Lu Ye, so in his judgment, this human soldier was just a very strong Rongdao.

Considering that he has a body that is in harmony with the Dao, why would he need to put in any effort to deal with a person who has merged with the Dao?

A flash of knife light flashed in front of him, and the Zerg Hedao showed impatience on his face. He faced it head-on, as if he wanted to cut off Panshan Knife and Lu Ye's knife.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly felt as if his soul was about to die, and boundless horror struck his heart. At the critical moment of life and death, the white shell on his neck suddenly became thick, as if it had been injected with some kind of power at this moment, and then grew.

At the same time, his head jerked back.

Blood splattered and he retreated rapidly, then stopped hastily, holding a knife in one hand and covering his bleeding neck with the other, his face full of horror.

If he had reacted a little slower at that moment, he would have been dead by now.

Even so, most of his cervical vertebrae were cut off. Fortunately, this injury was not fatal to him.

He was shocked at how strong this soldier was. What puzzled him even more was that he should have blocked the knife just now, but in fact, the knife still seriously injured him.

Looking up, the view was empty.

What about people?

The Zerg Hedao broke out in a cold sweat and used all his senses. The next moment he finally grasped Lu Ye's whereabouts. He immediately turned his head and saw Lu Ye slashing at him from the side.

The sense of crisis of facing life and death came again. The power of the Zerg's Hedao sword surged, and it was about to slash out to block Lu Ye's fierce attack.

But what confused him was that he couldn't tell where his opponent's knife would land.

It seemed to be slashing towards his neck, but it also seemed to be stabbing towards his chest. The knife's momentum was so unpredictable that it was impossible to predict.

Without time to think, he roared and attacked fiercely.

Then there was a pain in the neck again...

The Panshan Knife cut the wound on his neck with incredible precision. The sharp blade severed the Zerg Hedao's cervical vertebra, and a head flew out.

The Zerg still maintained the posture of swinging the knife. Its headless body shook and fell on the head next to it. Its eyes blinked twice and quickly lost their luster.

Lu Ye sheathed his sword and was quite satisfied with the results of his previous practice.

Fu Wei said that his sword was called the Piaohuo Zuoye Sword, but Lu Ye named it the Phantom Sword.

This sword technique, in the final analysis, is a kind of use of illusion. When he fights the enemy, he will quietly construct Taoist patterns on the blade, so the more the enemy wants to judge the landing point of the long sword, the more he will fall into illusion.

However... the white shell protection of the Zerg was really strong. The strength of this Zerg was much inferior to his, with a power of only about 700. But even so, with the sharpness of the Panshan Sword and the help of the Phantom Sword, he was still unable to behead it with one blow.

Of course, this was also related to the opponent's quick reaction. The Zerg tilted its head back at the critical moment, preventing Lu Ye from using up all the force of his initial strike.

Unfortunately, under the rules of the Starry Sky Chessboard, once he encounters an enemy stronger than himself, he is doomed to die.

Lu Ye was looking forward to it.

Killing four Rong Dao just now gave him four more external forces to rely on.

Why kill such a person of the Tao?

A ball of black light flew out from the dead Zerg Hedao's body and imprinted into Lu Ye's body, causing the white light on his body to change again, and this change was undoubtedly more obvious than before.

Lu Ye gently clenched his fist and tried it, and was immediately overjoyed.

Killing this He Dao brought him a full fifty increases in strength, which was equivalent to killing fifty Rong Daos.

He had noticed before that one of the rules of the Starry Sky Chessboard was that if one could kill a strong enemy of a higher level, there would be an unexpected surprise.

This was really a surprise. Compared with the previous four, it was a world of difference. In just two battles, he was able to borrow as many as fifty-four external forces on this chessboard.

He raised his head and glanced in Yuan Xi's direction, and happened to meet Yuan Xi's gaze looking over here. Faintly, he seemed to see Yuan Xi nodding slightly at him.

Although Lu Ye sometimes tried to kill Hedao, there were many Hedao masters in the field, and many of them were stronger than him. So Yuan Xi was quite worried that he would encounter an opponent that he could not contend with. If that happened, then he, the Grand Commander, would be in great danger.

Fortunately, Lu Ye easily dealt with the Zerg He Dao.

Judging from his posture at the moment, he has obviously gained a lot of benefits. As Yuan Xi's mind turned, his heart moved, and an imperceptible joy appeared between his brows.

Because when Lu Ye killed the Zerg He Dao, not only did he benefit, but Yuan Xi, the chess player, also benefited from it.

She raised her head and looked at Heixue opposite her, only to see that the opponent was glaring at her with gritted teeth. When Heixue made his move just now, he also did not enhance his defense, but chose to attack Yuan Xi.

Because Heizi has the first move, he will always have one more round of attack than Yuanxi. In such a confrontation, one more round of attack may mean the difference between life and death, not to mention that because of the advantage on the chessboard, his attack is slightly stronger than Yuanxi's.

He thought that Yuan Xi would definitely improve his defensive power when making this move, but what made him angry and horrified was that Yuan Xi still poked at him with a finger.

Blackblood can only withstand this one blow.

After the fierce attack, more blood flowed from the corners of Heixue's mouth, but it was not a big deal. He was about to say a few harsh words to Yuan Xi when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The huge figure quickly lowered his head to look at the chessboard, and was shocked to find that this time, the white piece controlled by Yuan Xi moved two more squares than he had just done.

He was furious and looked up at Yuan Xi: "You cheated?"

This is totally unreasonable. Although as time goes by, the two players will be able to move more and more squares at a time, if there is any real change, it should start with the black pieces that have the first move.

It's impossible that the white piece suddenly has two more squares!
Don't underestimate these two squares. This battle is destined to last for many rounds. If there are two more squares in one round, the accumulated effect will be considerable.

Two more squares means that Yuan Xi can mobilize two more monks in the chessboard each time. Once this advantage is expanded, it will have a snowball effect.

The Starry Sky Chessboard is very famous and many people have heard of it, but there are many types of chess games using this treasure, and the various rules are not all known to outsiders.

So Heixue had no idea why such a change occurred in the chess game.

Yuan Xi sneered disdainfully and naturally did not explain further.

How could she cheat in the face of the rules of the treasure?

She was able to move two more squares thanks to Lu Ye's ability to cross levels and kill that He Dao. The death of the Zerg He Dao not only gave Lu Ye a boost of fifty Dao of strength, but also gave Yuan Xi, the chess player, the right to move two more squares.

This is one of the unexpected surprises described in the rules, but Lu Ye was not unaware of this, only Yuan Xi knew about it.

In this game, the chess player is the dominant one, but the chess pieces are also the foundation. The two are actually complementary to each other. If the chess player can make good use of the chess pieces in his hand, he may be able to defeat the strong with the weak. However, if the chess player only wants to win by relying on numbers and overall strength, he may fail miserably.

After Heixue finished speaking, he felt that he had taken it for granted. The woman opposite him was indeed very strong, not inferior to himself at all, but if she said that she could ignore the rules of the treasure, he didn't believe it.

But what is the reason that allows the enemy to move two more chess squares?

He carefully recalled the rules he had just seen, but did not find any special explanations, and for a moment he could not help but feel a little suspicious. (End of this chapter)
