Learn a small skill every day and embark on a crazy life

Chapter 63 Ambush and Counterattack
The onlookers were all dumbfounded. They had thought that this would be an exciting battle between two evenly matched opponents, but they did not expect it to be such a one-sided situation.

Li Xincheng slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Qiu: "My dear friend Shen, your chess skills are superb. I am ashamed of myself and I admit defeat."

Shen Qiu quickly stood up and supported Li Xincheng: "Old man, you are too serious. I am just lucky."

"lucky?"

"Haha, this is not something you can do by luck."

Li Xincheng shook his head and said, "My dear friend, I have another request. Can you agree to it?"

"Please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

"I would like to play another game of chess with you, little friend. I wonder..."

"Old man, why are you doing this?"

Shen Qiu reluctantly advised: "We have already played three games, how about we stop here today?"

"no"

Li Xincheng said firmly, "I have studied chess for fifty years and pride myself on my high level of skill. But I never expected to meet you today and realize that there are always people better than you. This time, I am not playing for the sake of winning or losing, but for the sake of learning and understanding the mysteries of your chess game."

Seeing Li Xincheng's insistence, Shen Qiu could no longer refuse and could only nod and agree: "Since the old man is so interested, I will risk my life to accompany you."

Thus, the fourth game began under everyone's expectant gaze.

"Master, please go first!"

Shen Qiu made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Li Xincheng should make the first move.

Li Xincheng took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner waves. He picked up a white piece and stared at the chessboard with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to engrave every line on the chessboard in his mind.

The chess game is like a battlefield, with both sides fighting back and forth with murderous intent.

This time, Li Xincheng played chess with maturity and composure. Every move he made was carefully considered, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and no mistakes were made.

On the other hand, Shen Qiu seemed to make moves randomly, but he was always able to strike back, resolve crises, and even threaten Li Xincheng's chess game in turn.

As time went on, the game became more and more tense.

Beads of sweat oozed out of Li Xincheng's forehead. He found himself trapped in a vicious circle. No matter how he made his moves, he would eventually fall into a passive position and be led by Shen Qiu.

"How could this be? My Five Elements of Life and Death are totally incapable of restraining his moves!"

Li Xincheng's heart was in turmoil. He couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't figure it out!

On the other hand, Shen Qiu still looked calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

Because Shen Qiu had already activated the Liuhe chess skills a long time ago, so he was naturally very calm now.

Li Xincheng became more and more frightened. He found that although Shen Qiu's chess moves seemed chaotic, they were actually full of mysteries. Every move seemed to be setting up a huge game, slowly drawing him into it.

Shen Qiu made another move and reminded with a smile: "Old man, it's your turn."

Li Xincheng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

But every time he wanted to make a move, countless possibilities would emerge in his mind, and the final outcome of each possibility was the same... a draw.

"How could it be a draw? How could it be a draw..." Li Xincheng muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

He couldn't accept such a result. He couldn't understand it. Was there no reason?

Li Xincheng's breathing became rapid and his face turned red. He stared at the chessboard intently, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Shen Qiu had already noticed something was wrong with Li Xincheng, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that something was not right.

"Impossible, this is impossible..." Li Xincheng ignored Shen Qiu and was still immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.

"How could it be a draw? How could it be a draw... draw..." Looking at Li Xincheng's expression, Shen Qiu felt a little guilty.

His original intention was just to make sure neither side lost, so he just called it a draw.

He didn't expect this result, and Li Xincheng couldn't accept the draw even more.

"Old man, don't get excited. It's just a game of chess. Why bother..."

However, before Shen Qiu could finish his words, Li Xincheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsed into a chair, his eyes rolled back, and fainted.

"Oh shit, this is a big deal." Seeing this, Shen Qiu suddenly panicked and hurried forward to check on Li Xincheng's condition.

"Teacher, teacher..."

Seeing this scene, Xie Liuliang immediately stepped forward to check Li Xincheng's body.

The onlookers were stunned. No one had expected that a good game of chess would end in this way.

"Quick, go get a doctor!"

"Old man, wake up..."

……

Dachuan Dynasty, Longshao County.

Lu Daocheng has been in Longshao County for nearly seven days. This time he came just to refine the Yuehua Treasure Pill.

"It's done!"

Looking at the five round and plump pills lying quietly in the alchemy furnace, Lu Daocheng finally showed a smile on his face.

The Yuehua Treasure Pill is a top-level pill among the fifth-grade elixirs. It is not only of great help to the Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses in breaking through the realm, but also helps the Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses to stabilize their realm and increase their lifespan. It is truly priceless.

What Lu Daocheng didn't expect was that the news leaked out as soon as he came out of isolation.

I wonder how many eyes are staring at him outside of Takiyama County right now!

"It seems like I have to leave here as soon as possible." Lu Daocheng said to himself.

So he put away the five Moonlight Pills and hurriedly left Longshan County.

Not long after Lu Daocheng left Longshan County, Chen Jianyu, who had been protecting him secretly, appeared and followed him all the way.

The two walked for a while, and Chen Jianyu suddenly stopped, looked around sharply, and said in a deep voice: "Come out, you've been following me for so long, aren't you tired?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen men in black emerged from the woods on the roadside and surrounded Chen Jianyu and Lu Daocheng.

"Hand over the precious pills if you know what's good for you, and we can spare your lives." One of the leaders of the men in black pointed at Chen Jianyu's nose and said arrogantly.

Chen Jianyu smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph, just relying on you rotten fish and shrimp?
Hearing this, the leader of the men in black was immediately furious and shouted, "Brothers, come on, kill these two fools."

"Thirteen Sword Formation, go!"

Chen Jianyu continued to walk forward without even looking back. The Liuguang Feiyu Sword behind him was immediately unsheathed and instantly split into thirteen small swords, circling in the air, emitting a sharp sword energy.

The thirteen small swords immediately turned into streams of light and shot towards the men in black.

"what……"

"puff……"

Screams and the sound of sharp blades entering flesh continued to ring out.

The men in black didn't even have time to react before they were all killed by Chen Jianyu's thirteen small swords. The blood soon dyed the ground red.
