Chapter 176: Chapter 158 Sighing Softly 1
Rampant killing intent enveloped the skies of Xuan Tianzhou, and everyone in the world was shocked!
Outside the Taiyan Holy Land, all were utterly astonished!
“What terrifying killing intent, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would probably be annihilated by it, right?”
“It far surpasses the killing formation that Chen Xuanbei had just set up… This belongs to… Jiang Li’s killing formation?”
“Luckily, fortunately, this killing formation is restrained, targeting only Chen Xuanbei. Otherwise, just a moment ago, I fear countless people among us would have died!”
The people of the Heavenly Realm couldn’t help but exclaim in horror.
“Senior Li’s casual guidance in a game of chess is actually this terrifying…”
Fire Spirit was shocked as well.
Although she had known all along that what Li Fan taught Jiang Li was nothing simple, the outburst of its power was still beyond her belief.
“What, this was all just derived from Senior Li’s guidance in a game of chess?”
Yuanyang Holy Lord and others were even more shocked.
“Only Senior Li could possess such a cultivation level…”
Dugu Chenlu nevertheless said with a sigh:
“Don’t forget, Senior Li is someone who has guided an Immortal existence with just a game of chess…”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression grew complicated.
Remembering this fact, their shock slowly subsided, and they felt they could accept all of this.
After all, it was Senior Li.
As for the Chess Immortal Sect, people like Zhou Wenyuan were dumbfounded at this moment.
“No… how is this possible? The Saint Heir lost?”
Zhou Wenyuan muttered, his old eyes filled with an expression of disbelief:
“Jiang Li is just a broken man, why, why can he win against the Saint Heir?! He was clearly finished!”
He couldn’t accept it!
This outcome was unacceptable to him, and to the entire Chess Immortal Sect…
Could it be that the Jiang Li they had denounced as a broken man was actually the true genius?
Could he really crush a reborn individual?
No!
Absolutely not!!
If that were the case, it would be an unbearable loss and insult for their Chess Immortal Sect.
“Kill him, Chen Xuanbei, use that chess piece, kill him!”
Zhou Wenyuan roared!
At this moment, he was truly panicked.
Jiang Li, so humiliated by the Chess Immortal Sect, must harbor great hatred towards them. Now, he was about to rise…
If they let him grow, it would undoubtedly be like fostering a tiger for future trouble. The Chess Immortal Sect might gain a formidable enemy in the future.
They could not let this go unchecked.
He must be eradicated!
And at the Taiyan Holy Land, on one side of the chessboard.
Chen Xuanbei stared intensely at the game.
It was as if he had turned to stone.
His pupils radiated extreme shock, as if he couldn’t believe the game before him…
“No… no…”
“How could you possibly possess such chess prowess?”
“Such changes are heaven-defying, touching the very essence of the path of chess. Even I at my peak would not have been able to make this move…”
“No—”
He screamed at the top of his lungs!
A trace of unwillingness appeared on his pale face, followed by a violent spurt of fresh blood!
“Pfft!”
He seemed to have lost all vitality, his body trembling!
“My killing game is complete.”
Jiang Li spoke calmly, saying, “With this piece falling, you will turn to ash.”
He picked up a chess piece.
Calmly looking at Chen Xuanbei, he said:
“Do you have any last words?”
The terrifying killing formation that the chess game revealed has sealed this place; no one could save Chen Xuanbei.
Chen Xuanbei’s mouth was tinged with blood.
Looking at Jiang Li, he revealed a mad smile.
“Last words?”
“You ant, do you really think… you can kill me?”
In his palm, the ancient white chess piece had already appeared!
“With this chess piece, no one can kill me in this life!”
“You may have won against me… but the chess game won’t kill me! I, however, can use this chess piece to kill you!”
He said savagely.
“You lost a bet to the Alliance Leader Fire Spirit; you should take your own life.”
However, Jiang Li simply spoke calmly.
“A bet?”
Chen Xuanbei laughed loudly, saying, “What nonsense! A mere bet, you think it can constrain me?”
“I have the power to kill all of you, why should I abide by a bet?”
He stared at Chen Xuanbei, saying sinisterly:
“Where is that chessboard?”
“Speak up! You must have seen it!”
He showed no sign of defeat, instead, he was threatening!
Because he was confident, with that white chess piece, he was invincible!
With absolute strength, he could crush anyone in this world; how could he willingly abide by such a so-called wager?
Moreover, he was certain that Jiang Li must have seen the Boundless Chessboard!
Only the Boundless Chessboard could have enhanced Jiang Li’s strength so quickly, to such an extent!
Just a Jiang Li had achieved so much in merely half a day—what about himself?
He should know that he was an Undying Immortal Monarch reborn!
Perhaps he really could surpass that threshold and step into the ranks of the Immortal Kings!
His heart was ablaze with excitement!
But Jiang Li was just looking at him indifferently.
“In that case, I can only make my move…”
The white piece in his hand immediately landed on the chessboard.
Suddenly, a terrifying killing formation, an endless aura, lashed out at Chen Xuanbei!
Space shattered!
Mountains crumbled!
The earth cracked open with a chasm!
The clouds drifting above the Taiyan Holy Land simply dissipated!
This was an unmatched killing formation, a deadly strike that even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would bleed from!
“Who can harm me!”
Chen Xuanbei, holding the white chess, squeezed out a drop of essence blood!
He was awakening this chess piece!
At that moment, an aura terrifying beyond immortality suddenly descended in billions of strands!
The dreadful aura spread throughout the Heavenly Realm!
Billions of beings, at this moment, couldn’t help but kneel down, trembling in the direction of the Xuan Tianzhou!
“What’s happening?”
“…Heaven, Immortal… and even an aura beyond Immortality?”
Countless Sect Gates and powers were shaken!
In the skies over the Taiyan Holy Land, even the elites of the Xuantian Alliance lay prostrate on the ground, unable to bear it!
Only Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning managed to persevere.
However, they too were under immense pressure, sweat on their faces.
Across from them, the group from the Chess Immortal Sect trembled uncontrollably!
“No… what kind of aura is this, why is it so terrifying, could it be, could it be that chess piece…”
Zhou Wenyuan was completely stiff; looking at the white chess piece in Chen Xuanbei’s hand, he thought of countless terrifying legends…
An aura that emanated beyond immortality…
Could it be one of the chess pieces used by that legendary being???
“No, what is Chen Xuanbei’s background…”
Zhou Wenyuan suddenly felt a wave of fear.
He should know, even within their Chess Immortal Sect in the Immortal Domain, the Regretless Immortal Monarch of the Regretless Immortal City had spent his life searching for the traces of that being…
And Chen Xuanbei had actually come into possession of a chess piece related to that being…
If word got out, the Immortal Domain might be stirred, and the Regretless Immortal Monarch might personally inquire!
“You forced my hand!”
“With this white chess piece, I am invincible!”
“Even if the Immortal King were to come, I would not fear!”
Chen Xuanbei sneered with manic laughter!
His Immortal Spiritual Power poured crazily into the white chess piece!
At this moment, he, blessed by a Dao above immortality, was impervious to all laws!
Traces of supreme aura released, enveloping the killing formation that had covered the area, which instantaneously crumbled away, no longer existing!
Jiang Li looked at Chen Xuanbei and sighed deeply.
Had it come to this, yet he was still unable to contend with his opponent?
“Scum, to death with you!”
Chen Xuanbei felt his spiritual power nearly depleted; he had to kill Jiang Li immediately!
But at that very moment.
The white chess piece in his hand let out a faint sigh.
As if a sigh from countless years past had emitted across space and time!
Instantly, Chen Xuanbei’s body stiffened.
Instinctively, he looked at the white chess in his hand, fear in his eyes.
“No… this…”
He seemed to sense something, a trace of fear rising in his heart.
But before he could react, the chess piece suddenly began to frenziedly absorb his Immortal Spiritual Power!
Like an Apocalypse Vortex, it swallowed all his spiritual power!
At that moment, Chen Xuanbei collapsed to the ground, his muscles withered, his body convulsing, pupils dilating with a lifeless gaze!
And that ancient white chess piece, now satiated with Immortal Spiritual Power, suddenly took off in a certain direction!
That was… towards the Cangli Mountain Range!
As the chess piece flew away, that terrifying pressure also disappeared.
Everyone present was shocked and perplexed, unsure of what had just transpired.
The white chess piece involved with a presence above immortality…. had just vanished like that??
