Chapter 664: Chess Piece Shang Wen
Shengyuan City, Daqian Tower.
In the core room, an old man in a gray robe was looking calmly at the chess game in front of him.
Opposite him, the girl in black had a calm expression, her eyes fixed on the chessboard. Her delicate little face was unperturbed, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.
The way the strong play against each other is naturally different from that between ordinary people. The chessboard is lined with stars, like a chessboard stretching across the void, with starlight flowing. The chess pieces are neither black nor white, but the condensed light of thousands of stars, with a deep mystery hidden in them, as if containing the mysteries of heaven and earth.
Those who have insufficient cultivation will feel dizzy and their minds will lose focus just by looking at this chessboard, and they will inevitably sink into it.
The various changes in a chess game are almost unpredictable, like the grains of sand in the Ganges, and difficult to estimate; for mortals, even if they spend their entire lives, in front of this chess game, they are just a drop in the ocean, and cannot even see the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, for the Supreme Lord of Heaven, this is just their way of entertainment.
Normally, a game of chess can be completed in a few hours at most.
When Mu Zi left, Lu Tong and Ling'er started playing chess, and now the game was just halfway through.
Tick tick
It was as if there was an invisible hourglass, with time flowing bit by bit. Ling'er's eyes were fixed on the chessboard, her light golden eyes never blinking, as if she was lost in thought.
On the opposite side, Lu Tong did not urge him, but sat quietly on a cushion, stroking his hair and beard with his hands, waiting for the other party to make his move.
After an unknown amount of time, a trace of fluctuation appeared in Ling'er's eyes. Then, she brushed her small hand across her body and captured a ray of light from an ancient jade cup.
call out!
Ling'er snapped her fingers, and the light shot out and fell into the chessboard that looked like a galaxy. Then, it turned into a big star, floating in one side of the starry sky.
If someone was watching, they would be shocked to find that the chess piece was actually made of real stars, but now in the hands of the two people, it was as light as a toy.
After Ling'er made her move, the old man in gray robe did not ponder for a long time like the previous one. Instead, he directly took a chess piece and placed it on the board. His movements were so smooth and flowing, as if he had already made up his mind.
call out!
Zi Ling held a miniature star in her hand and pursed her lips slightly, appearing calm as usual, still looking mysterious. Her jade-like fingertips were suspended above the chessboard, and had not yet fallen.
"Ok?"
At this moment, the two people in the room felt the movement, were slightly startled, and then looked to the other side, only to see the space there sway slightly, and a figure emerged in front of them.
"So fast?"
Lu Tong looked up in astonishment, only to see Mu Zi, in white clothes as white as snow, stepping through the void. The hem of her skirt was not stained with dust, as if she had not returned from a bloody battlefield, but was strolling leisurely among the flowers.
"Mom is back!"
Suddenly, Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped up from the cushion, and her small body hit the Galaxy Chessboard in front of her.
Bang!
The chessboard overturned, and thousands of star-like chess pieces splashed and scattered. Then, with a burst of "crash" sounds, the chess pieces on the chessboard suddenly flew out like flowers scattered from heaven.
The chess pieces flew everywhere like a meteor shower, and finally suspended in the air, turning into tiny stars, which was extremely beautiful.
call out!
Ling'er kicked her calves, and her body turned into a shadow, like a swallow returning to its nest, and flew into Mu Zi's broad arms.
Mu Ziyu hugged the little girl with her arms, a soft look appeared on her pretty face, and she said with a smile:
"Did Ling'er listen to you when mom was away?"
"Of course! Ling'er is so well behaved. She has been staying here the whole time and hasn't gone anywhere." The clear child's voice became a little dull through the full arc.
Then, Zi Ling raised her head, looked at Mu Zi with big eyes, and changed the subject. "Besides, Mom has only been gone for such a short time, she hasn't even finished a game of chess!" While saying this, Ling'er's eyes rolled playfully, and a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"So nice."
Mu Zi smiled slightly, gently touched Ling'er's head, and then cast his gaze towards the gray-robed old man not far away. At this moment, the latter was looking at her with a strange expression.
"What are you"
"I'll come back after the matter is over." Mu Zi sighed lightly. The evil tribe from outside the domain she encountered this time did not satisfy her.
The enemy is too weak and cannot even fight against us. It is impossible to provide an evenly matched battle, let alone any sharpening of our strength.
Thinking of this, Mu Zi felt a little disappointed and shook her head slightly.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Lu Tong seemed to be hesitant to speak. Combining his previous guess, Mu Zi's return might be because the result of this trip was not smooth.
The Demon Emperor from outside the domain usually would not enter the Great Thousand World under the pressure of the interface. When he saw the Great Thousand World's Supreme Heavenly Powerful Ones coming, he would choose to retreat temporarily. This situation is actually not uncommon.
I think the Demon Emperor that Mu Zi met was like this. He felt that her strength was not easy to deal with, so he retreated into the Demon Realm, and thus, Mu Zi was unable to succeed.
"Well, don't worry about it. It's our first time fighting the Demon Emperor, so it doesn't matter if he runs away."
Lu Tong had a kind face and spoke to comfort him, saying that repelling the invasion of the foreign evil tribe and resolving a crisis was already a very good result. Even if he failed to kill the Demon Emperor, there was no need to worry about it.
However, just as Lu Tong opened his mouth to comfort her, he saw Mu Ziyu clench her hands and take out a ball of light.
"Forehead"
Lu Tong's words came to an abrupt halt, because he sensed the fluctuations of the residual soul of the Extraterritorial Demon Emperor in that ball of light.
hum!
Mu Zi summoned the remnant soul, then ignited it, turning it into a spot of light, which merged into the "Demon Slaying Order" that looked like jade glass.
Suddenly, the token burst into a ray of light, and after a tremor, Mu Zi's name instantly entered the ranks of high-level demon slayers.
"this!"
Lu Tong couldn't help but be stunned, but before he could say anything, he saw Mu Zi send out another ball of light. When Lu Tong saw the demon shadow sealed in the ball of light, his expression was extremely shocked.
"This is the Xuan Mo Emperor!"
I thought it was amazing that Mu Zi killed a Ghost Demon Emperor in her first battle, but I didn't expect that she was so fierce and "captured" a Black Demon Emperor from an evil clan outside the domain.
This result is enough to move people. The Xuanmo Emperor is more difficult to deal with than the ordinary immortal-level Heavenly Supreme. To suppress a Xuanmo Emperor who is in the Demon Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
What's more, the time Mu Zi took was so short, which was even more shocking.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Mu Zi looked indifferent.
When she left, only three pieces had been placed on the Galaxy Chessboard. When she returned, two Demon Emperors had died, and the game was not even halfway through.
