"...Uh, no!"

"Speaking of which, isn't it just that Xiao Nie didn't join our 'Gongdelin'?"

"Would a superstar really be so ruthless?!"

Half an hour later, at the training base of the Gezhou team in the Chinese Weiqi League.

Seeing Rui Zhao's 151st move, Da Fei, who was watching the game with other fans in the group, felt that the situation was so bad that it would make anyone who heard it feel sad and cry.
It's important to understand that Nie Yunyi is no longer the same player he once was. Anyone who pays even a little attention to him must acknowledge that he possesses the strength of a top-tier 9-dan player! However, in the face of the undisputed number one player in the generation of top-ranked players, this rising star of the Chinese Go world can only remain in his place!

Originally, after Rui Zhao's 129th move, Flying Thrust, Xiao Nie Miao was already in complete disarray. Nie Yunyi had to force a 20-minute delay and punish himself by two points before finally finding the right solution and continuing to survive.

But to everyone's surprise, Rui Zhao still showed no intention of retreating!
Despite having already secured a complete victory, the current number one seemed to be unleashing his full power and showing no mercy to the younger generation who could very well be the next leader of China!
After forcing a large white group on the left side to almost completely connect in a single-entry situation, Rui Zhao then returned to the right side to reinforce his position.

Although Nie Yunyi's 148th move, the Flying Stone, initially controlled the four black stones in the center, temporarily salvaging some of the losses on the left, Huaxia Mingren Tianyuan, despite his overwhelming advantage, still refused to back down!
After seizing a large area by extending her side, Dang Shi Zhaojun completely ignored White's turn and continued with a large knight's move!
"……this……

"Without decades of blood feud, how could someone make such a ruthless move!"

At this moment, Bian Lele wasn't the only one feeling numb; "Ruthless Brother" Tang Guansheng was also completely overwhelmed by Rui Zhao's chess game.
"Rui Zhao's move is aimed at two places at the same time. On one hand, he is aiming to continue to move out of the four black stones in the center that are temporarily under control. On the other hand, he is aiming to capture the four white stones in the lower right corner!"
"You should know that the black stones below have the ability to first push and then jump, and then cut off the white stones!"

"If Xiao Nie wants to effectively capture the seven black stones in the lower right corner, then he will inevitably give black the opportunity to cut off his four white stones in the lower right corner!"
"If Xiao Nie simply moves the stone, then with this black stone in the center, the four white stones in the lower right corner will become even more dangerous!"

"It was already outrageous enough that a lone dragon had shattered White's entire strong position, but now they're still not backing down..."

"This is a brutal, psychologically damaging method of killing someone!!!"

Indeed, just as Brother Hen said.

Despite being completely crushed by Rui Zhao, it wasn't surprising for many fans who had been repeatedly tormented by their own country's leaders for over a year... but today's game was still particularly astonishing!
The world's number one player, almost as if deliberately showing off her skills, displayed the unparalleled power of the Go goddess on the chessboard! The shock she gave was almost irresistible, leaving a group of fans genuinely impressed!
Looking at the live stream of [Weiqi Xiaozhao], even Rui Zhao's personal dog, who had been cheering for its master to beat up Xiao Nie Miao, was now dumbfounded, saying, "I've never seen anything like this before!"

The barrage of comments was filled with fans praising their idol's amazing and dazzling performance!
However, Nie Yunyi seemed unusually energetic and lively today...

Faced with Empress Zhao's almost forceful and relentless barrage of attacks, Nie Yunyi, who was being tortured to the point of ecstasy, seemed to have mustered all his courage and refused to resign easily until now!

After decisively exchanging blows, Nie Yunyi did not choose the near-euthanasia of Jian Yifei, but instead made a decisive move to try and gamble his last chance here!

What surprised many fans even more was that Xiao Nie's desperate struggle seemed to actually work!
On move 157, Rui Zhao made a single move – this was not among the AI's recommended choices.

Next, White captures, Black extends, White connects, Black bends, White attaches, Black blocks, White captures, Black connects...

By move 166, when White jumped to trap the Black stones in the center, and after a series of responses, everyone was surprised to find that the two moves made earlier, the large knight's move in move 151 and the merging move in move 157, had both resulted in losses within White's territory!
"Wait a minute..."

"Did Xiao Nie gain the upper hand over Rui Zhao in close combat?!"

Zhuang Zheng could hardly believe his eyes! But now, seeing that Black was unable to capture White's two key stones, Rui Zhao's two moves in the center not only failed to save Black's four stones, but also cost him his own!
Although this advantage was far from enough to turn the tide of the game, seeing Rui Zhao, who had played like a god throughout the game, being tricked by Nie Yunyi, the various modified war criminals still breathed a small sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if the mastermind Tianyuan were to take whatever he wanted until the end of the game, I'm afraid all the members of Gongdelin would have nightmares!

however……

Despite seemingly suffering a setback in a localized area, Rui Zhao's subsequent responses were still remarkably effortless and swift!
Move 167: Black attacks from below!

This was Black's usual tactic, and White was bound to block it. But Rui Zhao immediately countered with a sharp attack, forcing Xiao Nie to connect as well.

After the reigning Go master made a move in the lower left corner, his next move was surprisingly an attempt to break through two stones in the center!

"Wait... what is Rui Zhao doing?!"

At this moment, the round pig was so surprised that its voice changed:

"Can't she see that she can't control the two key white stones? This move is a bad one!!!"

The group members echoed this sentiment, agreeing that Black's position was indeed doomed in White's territory.

The move made by Xiao Nie Miao in the live broadcast was clearly unexpected, but since turning out was an inevitable move, Nie Yunyi decided to make the move first!

But Rui Zhao's next move surprised all the members of the group!
On move 175, Black cut off again and continued to capture three key White stones!

"...My God?! This is..."

"Live tax???!"

"Rui Zhao...she...she's under house arrest?!?"

For a moment, Bian Dafu's eyes widened in disbelief! He had absolutely no idea what Rui Zhao was up to!

The other fermented bean curd players were also in an uproar. Nie Yunyi, who was watching the live stream, stared wide-eyed, equally confused. He only made another move after confirming that the black pieces could not hold onto their key stones.

However, what followed was so dazzling that it practically blinded all the spectators!

On move 177, Rui Zhao inexplicably won another move from the other side – this was also a live sign!

In just a few moves, the world's number one player made two consecutive captures!
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and all the members of the group were completely dumbfounded!

What... what's going on?! However, a few seconds later, Huang Bo Nan's almost broken scream suddenly came from the live stream.

"...No, no way!!!"

Although Lao Longbo's recognition of the current national leader is well-known, the excitement in his tone at this moment still drew attention:

"Rui Zhao obtained evidence through two live examinations..."

"We've already captured one of Xiao Nie's two key stones!!!"

...

...

she……

When did she even notice this method existed?!
Five minutes later, in the chess room of the Mida Plaza Hotel.

Nie Yunyi sat stiffly at the chessboard, leaning slightly forward, his gaze fixed on the chessboard in front of him.

Those eyes, which always shone with an untamed light, narrowed slightly at this moment, filled with disbelief and shock!
Although he knew all along that he was doomed to lose the game... and although he struggled with all his might, he only hoped to experience a little more of the magnificent performance of the chess queen who had captivated him...

But just as he realized what had happened on the chessboard, Nie Weiping, an 8-dan player, was completely shocked!

—Double active sign!

In rapid chess, Athena used a seemingly unconventional yet flawless tactic to bring this famous game of "a lone dragon breaking through the entire board" to a close...

Yes... this is the final period!

Because Nie Yunyi was very clear that at this point, White had no way to continue!

After Black captures and lives in the 177th move, White's lower left corner will inevitably turn out, but Black will then inevitably return to the center to continue the capture on the other side!

After that, White made another attack, and Black extended its territory. But at this point, it became clear that no matter what White did next, it was doomed!
If Black continues to try to extend its liberties, then Rui Zhao will inevitably stop and reduce its liberties. At this point, it will be too late to capture from the outside – Black has a good move to capture both sides after capturing!

Now, either the key stone in the lower left corner is captured, rendering the entire white group lifeless, and the white stones in the lower right corner of the center also need to consider a way to survive; or the key stone in the center is captured, leaving a large gap in the center, allowing the black stones in the center to escape.

Regardless of the outcome, I have already suffered a crushing defeat!
If White then escapes, Black simply attaches, and only one side of the two key stones can survive!
Double-active carry finale!!!

After using his most proficient attacking ability to turn the tide and reduce the overall strength of the white stones to a mere scramble for survival with a lone dragon, the world's number one player seemed not to be satisfied and devised such an ingenious method as the final blow to end the game!
This is truly... truly...

In this situation, Xiao Nie, the eighth-dan, was at a loss for words! The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned upwards into a smile that carried a hint of inexplicable excitement and satisfaction.

In this game, he was completely crushed by his opponent from beginning to end!

From being lured into a losing position in the opening, to being counter-attacked in the middle game, and now being completely nailed to defeat by this divine move!

All my efforts, all my struggles, all my calculations... all seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the other party's unfathomable power of calculation and control!

However, he felt no pain at this moment; instead, he felt countless dopamine being released wildly in his brain!

It was like watching a masterpiece of art! It was like witnessing a divine miracle!
Xiao Nie Miao finally experienced the intense pleasure of being crushed by absolute power and conquered by perfect chess skills!
Only now does he understand...

Why do those die-hard fans of Rui Zhao on the internet make such shocking statements as "hoping to be trampled to death by Xiao Zhao"?

Why would so many people willingly grovel at the feet of this chess goddess?!

because……

It's such a wonderful thing for her to step on it!

A sense of lingering satisfaction appeared in Nie Yunyi's eyes, and he sincerely wanted to be a little kitten under the skirt of the number one person in the world for the rest of his life.

It wasn't in vain... I persevered until now!
But now... there's no way I can hold on any longer!

After losing one of the key stones on each side, White has lost its last chance to maneuver.

What he needed to do was to give this performance, which was almost divine, a concise yet beautiful ending.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nie Miao no longer hesitated and immediately picked up two white chess pieces from the chess jar.

"Clap."

A crisp, soft sound rang out clearly in the silent chess room.

Two white pieces were placed steadily in one corner of the chessboard.

—After 177 moves, the young player from the Suzhou-Huzhou team resigned!
Defending champion Rui Zhao has once again advanced to the semifinals of this year's Changqi Cup, and has also extended her winning streak in official matches to 94 games!
The 100-game winning streak is just around the corner! (End of Chapter)
