Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 271 Chess game!

"Ok?"

"This is……"

After breaking through the "Gate of the Top", Xiao Zizai also stopped. He could feel countless gazes staring at him, strange and terrifying.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes looked towards the sky, blood light flashed in his eyes, and he looked into the sky.

"Humph!"

And when he realized that these gazes were not really falling on him, he snorted coldly from his throat and showed disdain on his face.

Sooner or later one day...

He will tear them to pieces!

With a thought in mind, he withdrew his gaze and looked forward again. Looking at the endless road ahead, he stepped out again...

Keep on going!

Swish!
The next moment...

Bang!
When Xiao Zizai came back to his senses, his last punch had already hit Guan Yu. The punch was delivered silently, without even a trace of breath.

It seemed like an ordinary punch, but it shook the body of the "Martial Saint" Guan Yu.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"

Feeling that this kid had reached the "top", Guan Yu showed a look of relief on his face and congratulated him sincerely, which proved that he was not wrong.

"This……"

At this point, Xiao Zizai had understood everything, so he quickly retracted his fist and bowed to Guan Yu:
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Guan. I am... ashamed!"

Because he was immersed in the battle before, all his consciousness was used to control his body and strength. Xiao Zizai did not notice it and looked ashamed at this moment.

"Don't worry about it. Since you called me 'senior', this is what a 'senior' should do!"

Guan Yu waved his hand and smiled.

"Of course, since you didn't agree to the agreement I made before, that agreement is invalid. You can do whatever you want in the future."

"As for now..."

He turned around and looked at the people around him.

"Everyone, I have already done what you wanted me to do. If you want me to do anything else, just tell me directly!"

"This……"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the "Heaven" headed by Xia Ye, as well as Zhou Yu and the other two, showed respect on their faces, and were actually a little embarrassed.

But no matter what, what should be done must be done. In order for "Dongwu" to achieve the final victory, Sun Ce immediately stood up.

"Then Guan Yu, how about a fight between you and me?"

It can be seen that Sun Ce is still very much looking forward to the battle with Guan Yu. It is a pity that he, as the best master in Jiangdong, has never fought with him.

Since he has this opportunity, he naturally wants to have a fierce battle. Even if it takes everyone's combined strength to capture him in the end, he can at least have a good fight first, right?

however……

Before Guan Yu could respond, a voice came from the sky:
"Yun Chang, there is no need to fight, just follow me first!"

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, the three people from the "Eastern Wu" side all raised their heads and recognized him immediately.

"Brother Kong Ming, since you are here, why don't you show up and have a chat?"

The next moment, "Mr. Shuijing" took a step forward and spoke calmly with a smile on his face. There was no hostility at all, but the attitude of meeting an old friend.

"Brother Decao..."

Since it was an invitation from an old friend, Zhuge Kongming did not refuse. A breeze condensed in the air and he appeared.

"And Brother Gongjin and Brother Bofu, long time no see."

"Brother Kong Ming!"

It can be seen that although the two sides were on the verge of a fight because of the bet, they did not really intend to fight to the death. They just greeted each other with calm expressions.

then……

Zhuge Kongming then looked at Sima Hui again:

"Brother Decao, I originally wanted to find you first and invite you to my tent, but I didn't expect that Dongwu got there first."

"Of course, even so, Kong Ming still wants to invite you, brother, to join us. You should know the importance of this bet, and Kong Ming is determined to win!"

"Ugh……"

Hearing this, Sima Hui couldn't help but shake his head and then sighed.

"Kong Ming, you and I are close friends, so I should help you. But Gong Jin is my student after all, and as a teacher, I should consider his best interests."

"In that case, then brother should come to my tent, right?"

Zhuge Kongming smiled slightly, glanced at Xia Ye and others below, and did not say anything.

Obviously, Sima Hui understood what he meant and smiled as well:
"That being said, if Gongjin wants to fight, I have no reason not to help."

"understood."

Having said this, Zhuge Kongming no longer insisted. A light flashed in front of his chest, and a feather fan appeared in his hand, and he waved it.

"In that case, you and I are rivals."

"That's good. Kong Ming has never played chess with my brother before. How about we play a game this time?"

He knew that since the enemy had surrounded Guan Yu, they would never let go of such an opportunity, so he had no choice but to "break out of the encirclement."

"Two fellow Taoists, please come and help!"

Swish!

The next moment, as soon as Zhuge Kongming finished speaking, two figures appeared behind Guan Yu. They were Zuo Menchang and Master Jie Kong.

"Junior Zuo Rutong, nice to meet you seniors."

"Amitabha!"

Although they were "hostile", the two of them did not abandon the proper courtesy. They immediately saluted and spoke to the three "Dongwu" people.

There is no doubt that Sima Hui and the others were also aware of the two people's "participation in the war". Xia Ye had already said this. Since there were two "undercovers", it naturally had to be more realistic.

You have to be able to stop someone one-on-one.

Of course, for Xia Ye himself, this is a "balancing strategy". As long as there are "variables" like him, these two, and Xiao Zizai who has just reached the "top", he can control the situation.

At the same time, the more he came into contact with this group of "seniors", the more he felt that they were hiding something, and naturally they would not let "Dongwu" get what it wanted. So he rolled his eyes and made a decision in his heart.

And the next moment...

"Get started!" Xia Ye gave an order, and Qu Ying and Lao Ma moved together, immediately activating the strange formation that had been set up in advance and wrapped Guan Yu.

"Oh?"

"Is this the strange gate of the future? It's quite interesting..."

And the moment he felt this strange power, Zhuge Kongming's eyes moved, and his eyes flashed, and he saw the clue.

"Not only can the center palace be set by itself, but the four plates of Qimen can also be moved at will. What a good trick!"

At the same time, Zhuge Qing, who was observing everything with his own consciousness, also spoke immediately:
"Moving the four plates at random? Isn't this the 'Feng Hou Qi Men'?"

"Um……"

"The Fenghou Qimen, also known as the 'Eight Wonders'?"

As soon as he said this, Zhuge Kongming immediately found the answer from his memory.

"Yes, there are some improvements to the Qimen formation, but the overall result is still the same!"

When a sorcerer reaches his level, the changes in the strange formations are no longer the key. All he sees is the world, and a wave of his hand creates the formation. All the changes in the strange formations are no longer a difference.

Not only Zhuge Kongming, but Sima Hui, who was also a sorcerer and proficient in the Qimen formation, was also enlightened. Although he was studying the "Da Liuren", like Zhuge Kongming, after stepping into the "top", the sorcerers all reached the same destination.

Therefore, after observing for a moment and sighing, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhuge Kongming in mid-air:
"Brother Kong Ming, we haven't played chess for a long time. How about... a game of hand-to-hand combat today?"

"Alright!"

There was no reason for Zhuge Kongming to refuse this proposal, so the two looked at each other and smiled. Sima Hui then turned into a breeze and flew to the sky.

"please!"

They raised their hands to greet each other, then sat cross-legged in mid-air. Immediately, with a thought, their auras and the formations in their bodies connected together, turning the whole world into a chessboard.

wow——

A larger atmosphere took shape in an instant, covering everyone.

In this way, no matter how the people below fight, as long as they do not have the power to break the situation, they can only wait for the game between the two to end. This can be regarded as another level of game between the two sides, which is closely linked!

"Oh?"

"That's really interesting!"

Seeing the formation of this chess game, Xia Ye's eyes immediately sparkled, and his "reasoning mind" started to work at this moment, and he began to observe.

He could see that the complexity of this situation far exceeded all the strange situations he had seen in the past, including the "Fenghou Qimen" and even the "killing situation" in Tongtian Valley. This was the two "top sorcerers'" complete understanding of the "operation of heaven and earth", which had already exceeded the scope of what could be achieved naturally!
but……

"That's good too. This way, the battlefield will be divided."

For this operation, what Xia Ye least wanted to see was a "melee", which was the most difficult to control. But right now, this was the best situation, as everyone could fight on their own and there was room for maneuver.

The next moment...

"Brother Yunchang, come on!"

Sun Ce shouted loudly, and a "Overlord Spear" appeared in his hand. He then plunged directly into the strange formation constructed by Qu Ying and the others, and was about to fight with Guan Yu.

Facing the famous "Little Overlord" of "Eastern Wu", Guan Yu naturally could not be complacent. The "Green Dragon Crescent Blade" in his hand appeared again, and he fought with him.

Before this, Sun Ce also expressed that he wanted to fight Guan Yu with all his strength and did not need any help, so the energy of Qu Ying and the other person only separated the two of them and did not have any other effect.

This is also what Xia Ye wanted to see. Seeing that the two were fighting, a smile appeared on his face under the mask, and then he looked away.

At this time, when he saw Sima Hui and Sun Ce had all gone out, Zhou Yu naturally did not wait any longer and took action directly, and Master Jie Kong, who temporarily belonged to the "Zhuge side", also went out with him.

He knew in his heart that since "Bao Jing" had now reached the "top", he would definitely have a part in this battle. Since they were master and disciple, he should avoid suspicion and naturally went to find Zhou Yu.

The next moment, the two of them were also immersed in the strange formation of Qu Ying and the other person. The space within the formation was divided, placing the two of them together.

Although the two were just "acting" this time, since they had met each other, they naturally wanted to learn from each other...

Zhou Yu's palm suddenly lit up and the "Ancient Ingot Knife" appeared in his hand.

Master Jiekong also put his hands together, Buddha light rippled around his body, and chanted the Buddha's name loudly:
"Amitabha!"

Up to this point, there were only three "top players" left on the field, Xia Ye and Xiao Zizai from "Dongwu" and Zuo Rutong from "Zhuge".

"Old Xiao, go ahead and have a good discussion with Senior Zuo."

Seeing this, Xia Ye also smiled slightly and spoke immediately. Xiao Zizai immediately nodded and saluted to the left gate chief. The two of them did not enter the formation.

To be honest, Xiao Zi's breakthrough this time was really a pleasant surprise for Xia Ye. Otherwise, the number of "top-notch" players on both sides would be the same, and he would not be able to extricate himself in a one-on-one fight.

In his mind, since the situation had become like this and he had already formally met Zhuge Kongming, he naturally wanted to communicate with him, perhaps to get more information.

That's all right...

"Um……"

Seeing that everyone was in line and fighting one-on-one, Tu Junfang and the others were helping Qu Ying and the others maintain the formation, leaving only himself idle, Xia Ye also laughed.

The next moment, he raised his head and looked straight toward the sky. His eyes broke through the barrier of the aura and saw two figures sitting and playing chess, and he also joined in.

Swish!
In an instant, Xia Ye's figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had already come to the side of the two people. With his "reasonableness" to analyze, no matter how complicated the situation was, it could not stop him from moving forward.

When they saw him appear, the two did not react at all, but just concentrated on the game on the board. The black and white pieces kept falling alternately, and the power of the two qi was also competing with each other.

then……

Xia Ye sat down and watched the two of them quietly, watching the game without saying a word.

He could fully sense the changes that would occur in the surrounding atmosphere every time the two men made a move. He could feel the conflict between the two auras and could tell which detail would be more beneficial to which side if strengthened.

After all, the most fundamental core of a sorcerer is the understanding of heaven and earth, which is the word "observation". In terms of "the way of observation", Xia Ye now has the confidence to call himself the strongest in the world.

Even more so, if it was just a competition of disassembling the Qi game instead of comparing the Qimen cultivation, he had the confidence that he could fight against the two in front of him at the same time by himself. This was the transformation he had accomplished through his practice and "understanding"!
however……

Even so, he still did nothing. He just sat quietly by the side, watching the two people continue to make moves, and the chess game became more and more tense.

At the same time, the competition on the three battlefields below was also fierce. It was fine for the two parties who were just sparring with each other, but Guan Yu and Sun Ce were really covered in wounds.

"Um……"

"It should be almost done."

When this thought came to mind, not only Xia Ye, but Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui also realized that Guan Yu and Sun Ce were evenly matched and it was basically impossible to tell the winner, and the only victory or defeat would be between them.

then……

"Kong Ming, is this a draw?"

"Um……"

"It could have been possible, but now, maybe it's hard to say."

Zhuge Kongming narrowed his eyes, and finally moved his gaze away from the chessboard and looked at Xia Ye beside him.

"My fellow Taoist, what do you think?"
