Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 971 A One-Minute Off-Battle Tactic
Deep within the museum, in a hidden place.

Meng Longtu's expression twisted with laughter, his red eyes turning into triangular shapes.

This was different from the fake laughter he had made to put pressure on Wu Xian and the others; this was the genuine laughter of someone whose evil scheme had succeeded.

From the start of the decisive battle, Wu Xian remained calm.

Just now, Wu Xian began to exude a collective scent of various negative emotions.

The sweet smell confirmed to Meng Longtu that he had achieved his goal for this stage, and that Wu Xian's mindset had been disturbed!

A flawed mindset will lead to more mistakes, ultimately resulting in Wu Xian's death during his subsequent offensive.

Although Meng Longtu said that winning or losing is not within the game of chess, his best outcome is to win both inside and outside the game!

……

Wu Xian tilted his head back, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly inhaled and exhaled, pulling his thoughts back from his memories.

"Have you finished speaking? Now it's my turn to speak."

Having achieved his goal, Meng Longtu was very generous: "Please speak your mind."

"Actually, what surprised me most about this final battle was not your various plans, but that you actually tried to play the game honestly."

Meng Longtu was stunned. Although he had only done two things, both of them could be considered cheating. To be told he was honest made him feel insulted.

You're calling me honest?

As Wu Xian walked, he said, "Let's not talk about honesty for now, let's talk about the prophecy I received."

The six prophecies that Wu Xian received were as follows:

Article 1: A true gentleman observes a game of chess without speaking; a petty person regrets a move made in the process.

Article 2: Immortals have their own methods, and gods have their own rules.

Article 3: A skilled player focuses on the overall situation, while an unskilled player focuses on individual pieces.

Article 4: During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, Prince Wu entered the palace and was allowed to serve the Crown Prince at a drinking game. Prince Wu's tutors were all from Chu, who were frivolous and arrogant. During the game, they argued and disrespected each other. The Crown Prince grabbed Prince Wu by the gambling table and killed him.

Article 5: The auspicious and inauspicious Grand Duke Jupiter, the year of the ruling star, guards the destiny, and the Jiazi year suppresses evil spirits!
Article 6: Let's have some tea first!

"These six prophecies must contain very important information, which is why they have troubled me for a long time, resulting in me not having much time to focus on the final battle."

Wu Xian walked to the cage, took the 'Taiyi Salvation Sutra' from Shi Yan, and hung it on his belt.

"Apart from the overly abstract sixth prophecy, the others are not difficult to understand."

"The first rule is that after a move is made in this game, players can only watch and cannot interfere. Interference would be breaking the rules. This applies to both the Tai Sui God and the Huo Xin Tian Mo Shen."

"The second one is similar; even immortals and gods are subject to rules and cannot act arbitrarily."

"The third point is what you mentioned before: the outcome is not determined by the game of chess."

"As for the fourth point, it is a historical anecdote. When Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, was a child, he played chess with the crown prince of Wu. Because the crown prince of Wu was arrogant, Emperor Jing killed the crown prince of Wu by smashing the chessboard."

"The fifth point is that the Tai Sui God boasts about how powerful he is!"

After analyzing the five prophecies, Wu Xian took the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Demon-Slaying Sword from the runner Chen Chao and carried it on his back.

The evil spirits controlled by Shi Yan and Chen Chao have been almost completely wiped out. Only one 'headless executioner' remains in Chen Chao's cage. This executioner has not participated in the battle, so at this moment, he not only possesses the power of all the executioners, but also retains the one and only decapitation strike that was guaranteed to hit!

However, he was no longer able to release new executioners, so even if he took away the Demon-Slaying Sword, it would not affect Chen Chao's ability to perform.

Therefore, Wu Xian reclaimed his and Shi Yan's treasures.

"It's not difficult to guess the intention of the prophecy, but the problem is that many of the prophecies are contradictory, saying that we should follow the rules, but also that we should seek victory outside the game."

“Recalling that Shen Longhu had warned me not to break the rules, I initially thought that the Tai Sui God was implying that you wanted to use underhanded tactics.”

"What I've been wary of is also an underhanded tactic..."

"But the fact that you're behaving so honestly means I was wrong. It's actually us who need to resort to underhanded tactics."

Wu Xian revealed a strange smile.

Meng Longtu, who was hiding, felt inexplicably uneasy. He asked Wu Xian in a deep voice, "What kind of underhanded trick are you planning?"

At this point, Wu Xian strolled back and smoothly took off the golden robe from Wang Wei and put it on himself.

Thus, all seven treasures were now gathered on Wu Xian's person.

Then Wu Xian grasped the corpse exorcism mask, placed it on his face, and the four eyes emitted an evil light, releasing a surging killing intent.

"My underhanded tactic is... I won't waste an hour with you, I'll kill you in the next minute!"

After saying that, Wu Xian activated the special effect of the seven treasures for one minute.

The Patriarch lends his power, and the Seven Treasures Taoist is here!
call!
Each of the seven treasures emitted a beam of light, and the seven-colored rays swirled around Wu Xian, creating a warm breeze in the hall before entering Wu Xian's body one by one.

Wu Xian felt as if an invisible force had surged into his body, making him omnipotent for a moment, and his appearance had also changed.

The raging flames on his head resembled a head full of red hair.

His face was covered in a deep purple aura, making it look like a black face.

However, Wu Xian knew in his heart that being omnipotent was just an illusion, and he had to seize the time to do what he needed to do.

After entering this state, Wu Xian's senses became extremely sharp. Time seemed to stretch out in his perception, and everything he heard and saw was different.

The ground, walls, pillars... all inanimate objects seemed to transform into faint outlines, and the newlyweds resembled humanoid phantoms emitting a soft glow.

He was no longer standing on the earth, but on a boundless ocean of energy, and he was standing on a small boat made of seven treasures.

Ahead of Wu Xian, a blurry black shadow floated. Wu Xian couldn't see the shadow's face clearly, but he felt that countless faces were twisting and changing within it. Each face seemed to be a completely different person, but all eyes were fixed on Wu Xian.

This is the malevolent Heavenly Demon God who is watching the battle!
Behind Wu Xian was a three-headed, six-armed Tai Sui statue. Its appearance resembled an enlarged sculpture, and the cracks and pits on the stone were clearly visible. However, the divine light emanating from its body helped Wu Xian block the malice spreading from the shadows.

This is the auspicious and inauspicious influence of the Grand Duke Jupiter for our own chess player this year!
Wu Xian then looked down and discovered a one-meter square gap under the desk in the county government hall, and below the gap appeared to be a long tunnel.

The tunnel was filled with chains that resembled veins, and at the end of all the chains pointed to a huge figure with an evil aura emanating from his body, wearing an official hat.

It's Meng Longtu!

A smile appeared on Wu Xian's dark face, revealing two rows of bright white teeth.

"Hey, I found you!"
