The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 280 The Sound of the Bell

He Teng's chessboard suddenly appeared beneath the dark dome.

Suddenly, glowing lines appeared.

The Bagua formation that had bound He Teng, radiating a mysterious light, vanished as soon as these patterns appeared.

He Teng never underestimated his opponent.

It should be noted that the chessboard itself needs to be prepared, although it doesn't take long, but it cannot be used immediately.

While his opponent was preparing a deadly move for him, He Teng naturally began to prepare as well.

After all, the opponent's demonstrated abilities were indeed rather weak.

This gave He Teng a sense of complete control.

The opponent's attacks were dull and uninspired; aside from keeping him occupied, they seemed unable to advance any further.

However, aside from the explanation that the other party was really incompetent, He Teng was more inclined to believe that the other party had been plotting something all along.

After all, the other party is A.

Even if there are some differences between the two versions... they shouldn't be this huge.

Moreover, this was in a situation where one was fighting two.

So, the other party must have some other plans.

It's about finding a way to ensure your own death without paying too high a price.

Thus, He Teng immediately made a decision.

Why not just go along with their plan?

While dealing with the two, he also began to set up the chessboard.

Thus, He Teng didn't care at all what tricks the other party had up their sleeve.

Because life and death will be determined by the game of chess.

The expressions on the faces of the two members of the Diviner Alliance were incredibly interesting. Their prepared killing move had originally restricted everything about He Teng, but they never expected it to be defeated by another new rule.

The two of them stared wide-eyed, somewhat dazed.

He seemed unaware that he had fallen into the chessboard.

The fat fortune teller glanced at the thin fortune teller, his eyes filled with a questioning look.

The thin fortune teller shook his head helplessly; the formation he had set up... had been broken.

He Teng's calm and collected voice came from behind the gun tip:

"bring it on."

"The chessboard is ready."

"I'll make my move first."

After he finished speaking, a huge black chess piece fell from the darkness onto the vast chessboard.

These two people, of course, witnessed the entire game between the spirit named Guan Yuan and the machine armor.

They knew, of course, that it was impossible to compete with this contemporary chess master in terms of skill.

At that time, Guan Yuan had already used the divination to its fullest extent, even resorting to off-field tactics such as altering facts to forcibly reverse the outcome of the game.

Even so, Guan Yuan still lost.

How could human beings possibly surpass the deductions of Heaven?
How exactly did He Teng manage to do that...?

This question remains an unsolved mystery within the Divination Masters Alliance.

Therefore, when they saw that the newcomer was the chess master of that day, they immediately adopted the strategy of feigning weakness to lure the enemy into a trap.

But in the end, they were still dragged into this chessboard!?
At this moment, they are communicating through a unique method of transmitting spiritual power.

"How to do?"

"You want to play this game?"

"Me? I'm not as good as Guan Yuan, you should do it."

"I don't know how to play chess at all, I only know the rules! Are we going to die here!?"

Just as they were discussing countermeasures, He Teng's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"I must remind you."

"It's time to make a move."

"Otherwise, they would be declared the loser."

Upon hearing this, the two were both taken aback.

Immediately, the fat fortune teller gritted his teeth.

Since the skinny guy couldn't do it, the lives of the two men were in his own hands.

The portly fortune teller stepped forward and said fiercely, "I'll do it!"

A white piece suddenly appeared and landed on the huge chessboard with a crisp "clang".

He Teng smiled.

His smile was full of confidence.

I am ashamed to say...

But in this game of chess...

I am invincible.

……

When the game began, fires had already broken out in several places within the stronghold of the Diviners' Alliance.

The organization chose to launch a surprise attack at this time, obviously to make a decisive move. Zhou Shan, who was originally stationed in Yanjing, had already been mobilized, so there must be quite a few people who had arrived here.

Fighting was taking place everywhere, and bloodshed was raging everywhere, with roars shaking the heavens.

But everyone involved in the battle knew that their lives, deaths, victories, and defeats were not that important to this unique "war."

What truly influences the situation are the two battlefields on armor.

The pure energy that shot out from Zhou Shan's hand seemed inexhaustible, and Li Chunfeng kept dodging, looking somewhat disheveled.

However, Zhou Shan knew that Li Chunfeng had not yet launched a real attack. After the initial probing clashes, he had been choosing to evade... This was most likely a prelude to something.

However, with the continuous infusion of modern electrical energy, Zhou Shan was not in a hurry. At this moment, such a powerful attack did not require much consumption from him.

Moreover, Zhou Shan believed that delaying the process was also beneficial to him.

He sensed the situation on another battlefield; He Teng's chessboard had already been set up. No one understood He Teng better than Zhou Shan. Zhou Shan knew very well that, regardless of the circumstances, the moment the chessboard was set up, the outcome was already decided.

It's only a matter of time before the winner is decided.

However, besides this, Zhou Shan also had some concerns.

Since the other party is the leader of the Diviner Alliance, he should naturally have some understanding of He Teng. Especially after that divination master fought with He Teng last time, the other party should be more vigilant than himself. He should understand better than himself what the appearance of the chessboard represents.

But why does he do nothing?

Why are you constantly dodging?

Zhou Shan had many questions in his mind, and these factors were constantly exerting their influence. Even though he only had two options in front of him, he felt that making a decision at this moment would be extremely difficult.

Should I stall until He Teng arrives and kill the game? Or should I unleash my full power now and force my opponent into my rhythm?
The reason for constantly dodging is most likely that the opponent is preparing some kind of decisive spell to kill him.

If that's the reason, then it explains why the other party is dodging instead of confronting you head-on.

These thoughts flashed through Zhou Shan's mind one by one.

He didn't know that He Teng had just faced the same problem.

Unlike He Teng, Zhou Shan did not have a chessboard like He Teng, so he could not determine the outcome of certain moves after they were made.

At this moment, Zhou Shan had already made his decision.

"Are you preparing or planning something?" "..."

"Looks like there's no need to worry about it anymore."

There is no free lunch.

He suddenly recalled what He Teng had said before.

Only things that are unimportant can be handled with absolute certainty.

At this moment, he couldn't figure out what Li Chunfeng was up to, but he could at least guess that there was a possibility that he was "playing tricks".

Especially after the chessboard appeared, Li Chunfeng did not seem anxious, which made the situation seem even stranger.

Regardless of the circumstances, Jia Shang is a property worth protecting. He Teng had already killed one of them, so should these two be discarded as well?
Zhou Shan didn't understand Li Chunfeng, but he understood that a leader of an organization would value his elite subordinates highly. Even if they were to be sacrificed, they would still be expected to make the most of their abilities.

That being the case...

There's no point in trying any further; I need to give it my all.

No matter what he's doing or thinking, we must now force him to stop doing and thinking!

As Zhou Shan made his decision, the azure light surrounding him began to deepen and become purer.

The arcs of electricity flickering around him seemed to be becoming more restless. In just a few breaths, the azure light enveloping Zhou Shan began to transform into purple.

Even his pupils began to crackle with electricity.

This formidable power caused a tingling sensation in people hundreds of meters away, and this tingling sensation was merely due to the leakage of tiny specks of energy, which was enough to show just how terrifying the strength of the organization's number one person was.

At that moment, Zhou Shanshen's hand clenched tightly!
With this grasp, even space itself seemed to distort due to the high-purity energy.

The arcs of electricity flowing on his fingertips were clenched together when he made a fist, and a spear that seemed to be made entirely of lightning extended from his fist and was held in Zhou Shan's hand.

That spear, entirely composed of lightning, was clearly something of immense power. Even while still in one's hand, one could feel the destructive energy contained within it.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Li Chunfeng looked up at the lightning spear and raised his eyebrows.

Then I felt my energy being locked in.

He stopped dodging.

Because he also realized that Zhou Shan had changed his basic operational strategy of probing and finding loopholes.

Although it's unclear why he changed his mind so quickly, since it's known that dodging won't work, there's nothing left to do but tough it out.

Unlike the events on another battlefield, Zhou Shan didn't possess the same invincible methods as He Teng. Choosing to go all out and force Li Chunfeng to abandon his maneuvering was a better option.

At this moment, the lightning spear was complete.

If this attack lands, the location of the Diviner Alliance base will be completely reduced to nothingness.

Everyone below the fourth-level A level, even if affected by the aftershocks, will surely be reduced to scorched earth by the sweeping thunderstorm.

However, Zhou Shan understood that Li Chunfeng would never let his attack land smoothly.

Regardless, this strike is already poised to be launched.

The lightning spear that had solidified in his hand burst forth with an incomparably dazzling light in that instant. Before it was even thrown, the rubble on the ground around him had already lifted off the ground and floated upwards, and it seemed that even the magnetic field had been altered.

High-frequency energy waves pierced through the air, producing a buzzing sound.

Under the dark dome, the lightning spear transformed into a bright beam of light, heading straight for Li Chunfeng's aura!

Although it wasn't a guaranteed hit according to the "rules," this strike locked onto Li Chunfeng's heart!
boom!
A tremendous explosion erupted after a moment of silence!
A powerful energy wave swept outwards in all directions, and the extreme heat instantly baked the nearby ground into the texture of terracotta tiles. The villas were ignited by the intense heat, the trees in the green areas were instantly engulfed in flames, the flowers and plants evaporated instantly, metal objects began to soften and turn red, and even the fitness equipment began to melt...

What a horrifying sight!
A single strike was as terrifying as a nuclear explosion!
The intense heat instantly turned the inside of this huge dome into a veritable oven!
Even the sounds of battle beneath the dome ceased, leaving only the crackling of firelight echoing through the air.

The flames emitted a foul odor, and the billowing black smoke created a scene of utter devastation.

Zhou Shan, however, looked extremely surprised.

It wasn't that he was surprised by the enormous destruction his own power had caused, but rather that he was puzzled as to why Li Chunfeng hadn't intervened.
Could it be that Li Chunfeng's evasion just now was not to prepare a backup plan, but simply because he was not strong enough?
How can it be?

These thoughts flashed through Zhou Shan's mind for a moment.

Immediately, he used his mental power to scan the entire stronghold, and his expression became somewhat relieved.

Of course not.

Although the explosion caused immense damage, not a single person from the Diviner Alliance or any of the other organizations died as a result of the energy storm.

That means Li Chunfeng did realize what was happening.

He not only protected himself, but also everyone in the Diviner Alliance.

Zhou Shan frowned and looked at the spot where Li Chunfeng had just been standing.

Amidst the absolute heat at the epicenter of the explosion, a figure broke through the flames and emerged from within.

He emerged from the flames, ripped off his tattered clothes riddled with holes, and tossed them aside, exposing his perfectly strong physique to the intense heat of the fire.

Even amidst the raging fire, his skin remained unaffected, possessing a glass-like texture and even shimmering.

"Not bad strength."

"But it's not enough."

Li Chunfeng's voice was calm, but it seemed to echo directly in Zhou Shan's mind.

He walked forward step by step, looking up at Zhou Shan, who was surrounded by purple lightning, and spoke to himself:
"The longer you stay in Yanjing, the more you should understand that if you want to protect a place, you must make yourself stronger."

"However, there is always a limit to self-improvement, and a lack of martial prowess will keep one constantly immersed in a sense of crisis."

"This sense of crisis is something neither you nor I want to bear."

"We are essentially the same kind of people..."

"We cannot accept the existence of variables."

"Then, just like you..."

"This is the place I take care of, so naturally I will do everything in my power to protect it."

"You will leave a formation on your floor..."

"me too."

"And fortunately, we have accumulated over thousands of years and have many good cards to play."

He just finished speaking.

Boom! !

A bell tolled.

It resounded beneath the dome.

The raging flames vanished instantly after the chime of the bell, plunging the space that had been illuminated by the flames back into darkness.

The heat vanished instantly, and the vitrified soil returned to its soft texture.

Everything that had been destroyed was instantly restored to its original state after that chime of the bell.

Flowers and plants are reborn, and decaying wood is rejuvenated.

The scars on the building have disappeared, and it looks brand new.

Zhou Shan was stunned by the miraculous scene before him.

Even though he had many grand scenes in his memory, none were as breathtaking as the scene he was seeing now.

This can be described as the power to bring the dead back to life and reverse cause and effect!
What he found even more incomprehensible was...

He Teng's chessboard was actually broken in this reversal.

In an instant, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

Li Chunfeng's voice came again:

"Since you've already gone all out, then Mr. Zhou..."

"...Do you have any other trump cards up your sleeve?"
