Chapter 287 – The Game of the Chess Sage

　　”That’s it!”

　　Xu Yang pointed to the top of the firmament, the scent of the law that had just collapsed was faintly audible, it must be the direction that Tuoba Yun had left.

　　The crowd had almost reached a consensus on this issue, and without more hesitation, they followed Xu Yang and the Empress’s powerful spiritual guardianship as they rose up into the air, rushing into the next parallel space along the way.

　　This time, however, when everyone gradually became lucid, they realized that in front of them was actually a huge star-like spatial cloth.

　　It was as if this round of jumping had actually arrived above the bright starry sky.

　　Of course, everyone knew very well that how could this be a real starry sky?

　　The only explanation was that their team seemed to have fallen into an illusion.

　　And this, obviously, was someone doing it on purpose.

　　”Welcome, all of you, to the Nine Star Heavenly Law Array.

　　I am the Northern Jin Chess Sage Fifteen Lang, one of His Majesty’s chamberlain commanders.”

　　Within the illusion, the silhouette gradually became clearer, and the rumbling echoes in his ears became very strong.

　　”What the hell is going on ……

　　This place, is it really pure illusionary space?

　　Why can I feel such a strong fluctuation of law aura!”

　　The empress would rarely be this agitated, because she, who had the strongest spiritual power, at this time actually felt an unprecedented sense of restriction, not that it would make her how difficult it would be, but the feeling of being unable to make use of that kind of power as if she was being extremely suppressed was very unpleasant.

　　”If I’m not wrong, this space amongst it possesses laws that exist independently, forming special system rules, and amongst them, there is the rule of the Dao of Forbidden Illusion in place, once we enter this space, your illusions should have no way to be performed.”

　　Listening to Xu Yang’s words, most of the people had come to a realization, right now this space, to put it bluntly, it was more like a game set up by the other party, after coming here, one must abide by the rules of the game set by the other party, unless one can directly tear apart the laws of space to escape with overwhelming strength, otherwise, one must follow the rules of the game set by the other party and defeat the opponent.

　　”As expected of Xu Yang, an opponent that can make the Tuoba Family fearful!

　　But this time, I’m afraid that you won’t have the chance to manifest your divine abilities anymore, and will only be reduced to being my pawn like the others.”

　　Fifteen Lang appeared extraordinarily confident, her veiled hand lightly waved, Xu Yang and the others began to flicker above their heads with their own bright stars of varying radiance, it seemed that each person’s head corresponded to a star, and a powerful spiritual pressure shrouded down, targeting each and every one of them with what seemed to be a distinctly different suppressive law in place.

　　Reasonably, this kind of almost privately customized space law, in a short period of time it is simply impossible to build, it can be seen that the appearance of this fifteen lang, is simply Tuoba Yun early in order to guard against the Xu Yang team personally do the bureau, finally at this moment came in handy.

　　”Hehe, in order to deal with us, the Tuoba family has really gone to great lengths ah, but what I want to know even more right now is, where exactly did Tuoba Yun go, the Tower of Endlessness?”

　　Fifteen Lang’s obvious breath fluctuated for a split second, although he tried to hide it as much as he could, but how could his emotional throbbing set off Xu Yang and the Empress’s insightful capture?

　　”Why do people who are about to die need to say more?

　　The only thing you all need to do now is to follow my rules and play a game with me.”

　　As Fifteen Lang said that, a star descended above his own head as well, and the majestic breath of life merged into that star.

　　Soon, the void set where everyone was formed countless interlocking and vertical chessboard routes, black and white pieces laid out a handicap, everyone’s destiny, all intertwined in this chessboard.

　　”I will hold the white pieces, you will hold the black pieces, and each piece will devour your life force under the effect of the law.

　　Of course, this devouring is merely a form of temporary custody, and only when one side completely loses will the power of the Laws completely harvest the life force you lost.

　　Undoubtedly, this is a game of life and death that can gather all of your common wisdom to play against me.

　　Xu Yang, I heard that in the internal tournament of the academy, you had once defeated a young chess player, who was a disciple of mine and the most outstanding character among the younger generation of chess players.

　　But after losing to you, he was devastated.”

　　Xu Yang laughed coldly, “You’re a waste yourself, and you’re blaming me for winning him?

　　I didn’t force him to come and play chess with me.”

　　”Hmph, you don’t have to be so arrogant, today I’ll let you see the strength of the number one chess saint of the Three Thousand Dao State.

　　I will remind you one last time!

　　The nine Starfall Laws here are simply not something that the current you guys can fight against, even if you have the chance to combine your efforts to tear apart this space, a large portion of you will surely perish, don’t be delusional and try to pull off a trick, face the reality.”

　　Fifteen Lang looked extraordinarily excited, for him, to be able to contribute to the Northern Jin Tuoba family through his own chess power on such an occasion, he was wishing for enough.

　　”Then let’s cut the crap and get started.”

　　Xu Yang was certainly a natural talent, a supreme being in every field, even in chess, he was hard to beat.

　　However, this time was different, he quickly realized that in the stalemate set up by Fifteen Lang, there were at least twenty ways for white to win easily, while on the contrary, although black had a large number of pieces, the position was very unclear.

　　If there was really a one-on-one duel at the top of the game, Xu Yang had at least 50% certainty that he could reverse the situation and win, but now, with so many people on his side, he was not in control of the whole situation, and it was almost impossible to win.

　　Most importantly, one of these many rules was that people could not communicate with each other, they could only move according to their own ideas of moves, controlling the number of pieces that corresponded to their own life force.

　　”Do you have any good ideas?”

　　The Sword Spirit suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xu Yang about the way to break the game, obviously he, who didn’t know anything about chess, also guessed that it was impossible to have any chance of winning if one just relied on playing chess.

　　”There is a way, but everyone is going to have to suffer a bit.”

　　……

　　As time passed, the black side’s chances of winning were getting smaller and smaller, there were constantly discs being beaten and eaten by the white pieces to encircle them, and every time a black piece crumbled, the corresponding life force would be temporarily extracted by the Laws, and the counterpart would become a few points weaker because of it.

　　LingQingShu LongKun, because simply do not understand the chess road, the whole process is almost in the blind, LingYao a living sword cultivator is even more on this aspect of the knowledge, but she after all, the life force to be strong some, temporarily only half weak state.

　　Let the crowd feel surprised, on the contrary is the small group of this girl, after several times have managed to escape from the other side of the encirclement, and not the first time to significantly reduce the son.

　　But this is only a way to temporarily maintain a while, want to fundamentally reverse the situation, just rely on this method is obviously not feasible.

　　”Hmph, Xu Yang, you’re really thinking of struggling a bit?

　　Then let you despair!”
