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

Chapter 284 A Brilliant Plan! Strategic Planning!

The power that the clone was unleashing at this moment felt somewhat familiar to Jiang Chuan.

He couldn't recall where that familiarity came from, but precisely because of this, he immediately deduced the source of the clone's power.

That is a power from the future.

It's clear that it didn't descend from the future, but rather borrowed its power from the future.

Jiang Chuan didn't understand the specific principle, but he guessed that it might be due to the borrowing of power caused by having the same genes as himself.

He did not demonstrate any spatial or temporal power techniques; he was simply extremely powerful in terms of mental strength.

The clone Jiang Chuan was slowly walking towards the old man surnamed Gu. Each step he took was like a thunderclap, leaving huge cracks in the ground with every step. Fine, dense cracks meandered and spread in all directions. His clothes were torn apart and annihilated by this powerful mental force, revealing his flawless and unblemished body under the dazzling light. In this light, he even appeared somewhat holy.

Li Chunfeng stared in astonishment at the scene, his mind reeling, but a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

Sure enough, this clone can also borrow powerful forces from the future.

Although the Diviner Alliance is determined to kill Jiang Chuan no matter what, even if humanity is destined to lose this powerful future force... now that the clone can do the same thing, there is no longer any concern about Jiang Chuan's death.

"I'm really lucky today."

“Zhou Shan is dead, Jiang Chuan is dead… and they even delivered the clone to their doorstep.”

However, Li Chunfeng frowned again at this moment. He could see the endless anger in Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes.

He sighed:
"Even in death, he really caused us a lot of trouble."

"Zhou Shan, go in peace."

As Li Chunfeng's sigh faded, he unleashed his most powerful energy for the first time!

A Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation appeared beneath his feet and rapidly expanded outwards, its diameter instantly covering half of the villa area. Everyone within this formation felt an immense, incomprehensible pressure. When the ground beneath Jiang Chuan's feet became part of the Bagua formation, he abruptly lowered his head, seemingly due to a change in gravity…

In that instant, he felt as if two fully loaded large trucks had stopped on his shoulders.

In that instant, countless people were forced to their knees.

Jiang Chuan struggled to maintain his standing posture, stiffly turning his head to look at his clone.

Jiang Chuan thought the clone's progress would slow down, because he could clearly sense that the core of the formation was on him.

Even the pressure at the edge where I am is so immense, one can only imagine how much terrifying pressure that guy is enduring.

But when he looked over, his pupils contracted slightly.

He didn't stop walking, even as his skin and flesh were being torn off by the immense pressure, his steps didn't falter, and his gaze remained unchanged.

At this moment, his desire to avenge Zhou Shan became his obsession, something he was determined to do even at the cost of his life.

The clone didn't even look at Li Chunfeng; all his attention was on the old man with the surname Gu.

If looks could kill, the old man surnamed Gu would probably have died ten thousand times over.

Li Chunfeng, however, was somewhat surprised:

"Can you still move?"

"This willpower surprises me."

However, Li Chunfeng did not do anything further.

Because he actually knew that this little guy couldn't really cause any trouble.

Even if he steals the power of the future, it will not have any impact on the current situation.

On one hand, this clone Jiang Chuan did indeed gain considerable strength by stealing future power, but there were as many as twenty spirit masters from the Diviner Alliance here. He alone could not turn the tide, especially since the strength he had gained was far inferior to that of Jiang Chuan who slew the dragon that day.

On the other hand, both the inner and outer barriers have been set in place, and no one can reverse the current situation. Zhou Shan is dead, and the organization is already in disarray; this last struggle is nothing but a joke.

The clone's willpower is indeed impressive.

If the strength of willpower can determine the outcome, then how could someone as persistent as Zhou Shan have died here?
"Hahaha!!"

The old man surnamed Gu's wild laughter echoed throughout the vast villa area. He looked at the little guy walking slowly towards him, and his mood seemed to have improved again.

"Come here! Let me teach you a lesson!"

"How can such powerful strength be used like this?!"

"Li Chunfeng! Withdraw the troops!"

"Do you want to kill him!?"

Li Chunfeng was helpless, and at this moment the clone, who was stubbornly walking under the heavy pressure, was covered in blood. Of course, he did not want the clone to die here.

He waved his hand to dispel the formation, and after the clone broke free of its restraints, its body began to recover rapidly. The flesh and blood that had been torn apart by the pressure were restored in an instant.

Once his body was freed from the constraints of gravity, it immediately became lighter. He vanished from his spot, transforming into a beam of light and rushing straight towards the old man with the surname Gu.

He simply and unpretentiously threw a punch.

But before his fist could reach it, the old man had already raised his hand, blocking the path of his fist.

He said confidently:

"You can't win with just anger..."

However, his words were abruptly interrupted.

The clone's fist was far stronger than he had imagined. The fist was indeed blocked by the palm, but the fist, along with the heavy palm, rammed into him!

click!
His wrist was fractured, his right arm was broken in many places, and even several ribs in his chest cavity were broken.

His ancient, powerful, and imposing body was sent flying before he could finish uttering those arrogant words!

Boom!

His body was slammed down from the sky, traversing through the villa area, destroying many villas amidst plumes of dust and exaggerated crashes.

Finally, he lay back against a wall with his arms outstretched, his face full of astonishment.

The clone stared angrily at the ancient structure embedded in the wall, the rage still clearly visible in its eyes.

But as everyone could see, while the punch was powerful, the damage it caused to him was also extremely exaggerated.

His right arm was twisted in a strange way, and it was unclear how many pieces it had been broken into.

Jiang Chuan watched this scene with shock in his eyes. A powerful figure capable of killing Zhou Shan was being so badly beaten by his own clone with a single punch?
Was the clone too powerful? Or had Zhou Shan just reached his limit?

These questions weren't just on Jiang Chuan's mind; He Teng was also filled with the same doubts.

But He Teng didn't have time to think about it. The eight spirit pursuers were still closely following behind him. How long could the powerful strength he gained by burning his life force last?
What should I do now?
Now that Zhou Shan's death is a foregone conclusion, what I need to do is to get Jiang Chuan out safely.

He immediately changed direction and rushed towards Jiang Chuan's location.

At the same time, Li Chunfeng also began to take action.

Li Chunfeng's motive to kill Jiang Chuan never changed. He burst forth with speed and charged straight towards where Jiang Chuan was.

He Teng threw a punch out of thin air, but the target of this punch was Jiang Chuan.

Taking advantage of the guaranteed hit rule, he moved later but arrived first, blocking Li Chunfeng and standing in front of Jiang Chuan.

The speed was too fast. By the time Jiang Chuan reacted, Li Chunfeng and the other eight top-tier experts had already surrounded them.

Li Chunfeng chuckled and said:
"You want to rescue him?"

"He Teng, don't waste your energy."

He Teng didn't speak, but his body had already begun to move.

Rays of light emanated from He Teng's body, like a starry sky, but Jiang Chuan could tell that it was actually a Go game record, with the Go pieces shimmering around him... He was actually using the rules in a different way!
Li Chunfeng raised an eyebrow: "To break through at a time like this?"

He Teng calmly said, "At least I've always been lucky."

Although it wasn't a life-or-death battle, by using these scattered chess pieces... he temporarily possessed the means to confront these powerful figures head-on.

The Bagua formation beneath Li Chunfeng's feet unfolded once more... but this time it wasn't about changing gravity; rather, it seemed to be some kind of amplification ability.

The other eight powerful warriors, tacitly positioned themselves at the eight corners of the formation. The moment they landed, they seemed to activate the Bagua formation, concentrating their power entirely within it.

Not only did their strength increase, but their attacks became even more concentrated, making them incredibly powerful.

However, it will still take some time to break through the almost endless variations of the game records.

Countless attacks exploded on the chess pieces surrounding them, which resembled a nebula. Booming sounds echoed continuously as powerful shockwaves rippled outwards from the two of them, obliterating the ground layer by layer. They were like isolated islands within a Bagua formation, the chess pieces extinguishing one by one under the onslaught…

Although it can last for another ten seconds or so...

But what's the point of those ten seconds?

Was there time left to say your last words?

……

Gu struggled down from the wall and stepped onto the ground again.

His body recovered rapidly upon landing, returning to its original state in a very short time.

"Kid...you really know how to surprise this old man."

He spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

But that punch just now also ignited his ferocity.

Although Gu Lao himself didn't understand what was going on, the clone seemed to indeed possess the power to fight him.

“I didn’t expect there would be such a pleasant surprise!”

"Come on, come on!!"

"Let me see just how good you really are!"

Although Gu Lao spoke arrogantly, he was already deep in thought.

The clone's physical strength wasn't even enough to support such immense power, so why was this borrowed power so strong?

Logically speaking, he shouldn't even be able to break through his own defenses, yet he suffered such severe injuries.

Even though he had recovered completely, with his ancient physical strength, both his skin and bones were as hard as gold and iron. How could he have been beaten so badly?
Even Zhou Shan's powerful lightning couldn't break through the defense, so why could that kid do it now?
The two fought without any fancy moves, their punches and kicks simple yet powerful and overwhelming.

Both of them completely abandoned their defenses, and even if their bodies were dented or bent, they were able to recover from their injuries quickly.

Such a thoroughly enjoyable brawl was a thrilling experience that this ancient man, who was almost a martial arts fanatic, had not felt in a long time.

But for the clone Jiang Chuan, he was very anxious; he couldn't wait to kill the guy who had killed Mr. Zhou...

But I could never do it.

Jiang Xiaochuan could feel the powerful force he had just gained dissipating.

But the old man's strength showed no signs of diminishing.

This made him even more anxious.

At that very moment, a shout suddenly rang in the ancient ears:

"What are you dawdling about?!"

"Finish this quickly, then come help!"

This is... Li Chunfeng's voice.

Gu Lao glanced over in surprise, but his expression froze.

These people from the organization, who were thought to be unable to cause any more trouble... had actually defeated eight spiritualists. Now, only Li Chunfeng was left struggling to hold on against the combined attacks of Jiang Chuan and He Teng...

Gu Lao noticed that Jiang Chuan's hands...

He was holding a chessboard.

……

Ten seconds ago.

He Teng's last defense is about to collapse.

Jiang Chuan looked at the box in his hands...

He knew that this was the opportunity Mr. Zhou had mentioned earlier.

He opened the box and found that inside was the same rotten chessboard he had seen and used before on the road to Qingshi Airport.

When he saw that the box contained this chessboard, he... suddenly understood.

The moment I touched the chessboard, my body reacted.

An indescribable and profound perception arose in his mind.

He dropped the box, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with He Teng.

He Teng noticed the chessboard in Jiang Chuan's hand, and his expression changed. He was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat relieved.

He muttered to himself, "I knew it... I'm lucky."

Li Chunfeng's eyes also changed drastically when he saw the chessboard. He naturally thought of what Zhou Shan and Jiang Chuan had said back then.

A mysterious and profound aura burst forth from the nebula.

The aura pierced through the seemingly seamless attack in an instant, reaching the eight spiritual practitioners.

Just as the last star was extinguished, the attacks condensed by the formation ceased in that instant. The bodies of those spiritual practitioners aged rapidly at a visible speed, collapsing to the ground in a flash, already dead...

Li Chunfeng certainly recognized this thing, and his body had been locked by that aura. No one knew what kind of power he was using to resist the rapid passage of time!
"The Rotten Chessboard..."

"A time-related artifact!"

His spiritual power erupted, roaring towards the ancient direction where the battle was taking place:
"What are you dawdling about?!"

"Get back to the backup quickly!"

Li Chunfeng's arms had begun to show signs of aging, with the rough skin clinging to his bones and aging rapidly.

At this moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to use his trump card.

But at that moment, Jiang Chuan's ethereal voice, as he used the chessboard, suddenly reached his ears:

"Do you know... what 'strategic planning' means?"

In that instant, Li Chunfeng's body suddenly stiffened.

Everything that was about to happen appeared in his mind.

He gritted his teeth, remaining as calm as ever, but finally his emotions wavered, and he spoke in an extremely somber tone:
"Don't be so smug!"

"Don't think you can escape from here!"

Zhou Shan! You are dead!
