Chapter 339 - 201: Breaking the Chess Formation!
The blade’s glow spreads twelve zhang, the cold energy pervades all eight directions!
Chu Qing didn’t know the Ice Heart Technique, but his Inner Power under the Cold Jade in the Nine Chapters of Divine Jade encompassed the Yin Cold Power of the Mingyu Skill and the Frost Qi of the Celestial Frost Fist.
As this saber was wielded, the sword light enveloped the area like a land of perpetual ice and snow.
The fierce sword light, the terrifying blade glow, descended from the sky like a shimmering cascade.
Chu Qing stepped onto the ’chessboard’, actually entering the Life and Death Chess Array.
This array was coordinated with the chess pieces; entering it required actions according to the chessboard rules.
If one’s side had enough people, it’s like playing chess.
One move after another, the one with better tactics wins.
Conversely, if one’s side had insufficient people, only three or two, one is bound to be surrounded and killed.
Once one is within the chess array... it’s hard to break free from the constraints.
Yet, Chu Qing refused to follow the path laid out by others, using his profound Inner Strength to defy the suppression of fifteen people, taking one step to break the chess array.
The fifteen people opposite were caught between enduring the consequences of Chu Qing breaking the array and witnessing the massive sword light crashing down like a mad saber from the heavens.
Despite these chess pieces having minds somewhat different from ordinary people, they couldn’t help but feel despair at this moment!
It was seen that two identical figures leapt up, holding swords, attempting to block this blade’s edge.
But it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Where the sword light landed, the swords in the hands of these two ’elephants’ were first shattered by the blade glow, followed by the sword light sweeping through their bodies.
The two men froze for a moment, unresponsive, and fell straight from mid-air.
Then came a thunderous crash!
Quicker to land than them was Chu Qing’s saber!
The vast sword Qi burst forth upon landing, not just slicing along one line, but spreading outward in all directions, sending sword lights scattering.
Cold energy spread beneath, sword lights crisscrossed around.
In a moment, the dozen or so people’s formation was directly shattered.
One ’soldier’ in the center was cleaved in half by the saber, while another soldier on the verge of death, together with the somewhat dim-witted one beside him, were all enveloped by the sword glow.
The dying one perished on the spot, while the other was barely breathing, on the brink of death.
The remaining people had various injuries, none of which were fatal.
Two shadows dashed from the crowd, feet pounding the ground, resembling galloping horses, charging crisscrossed.
These two had no weapons, charging headlong, as if treating their heads as weapons.
Chu Qing had just exhausted his saber and looked up to see the two already before him.
The Undying Golden Body was just about to be utilized, when he heard a ’hiya’.
No need to look back; he knew it was Nianxin and Nian’an at work.
Sure enough, Nian’an wielded Nianxin, swinging him round to descend from the sky.
The two frenzied ’horses’ instantly met their Waterloo, accompanied by two muffled sounds.
Chu Qing could faintly hear neighs from the side, those two ’horses’ were knocked askew by Nianxin’s head in an instant.
The two horses were not dead yet, barely supporting their bodies, looking at Nianxin and Nian’an, their faces full of disbelief:
"This can’t be!!"
In this path of Life and Death Chess, each chess piece practiced different martial arts.
’Pawns’ excel in close combat and maneuvering, swift within a confined area!
’Knights’ run like the wind, once moving, True Qi gathers around their heads, being Vajra Indestructible, possessing immense strength.
Their feet ignore terrain, capable of trampling armies.
Used for charges, unstoppable!
Under normal conditions, they should wear ’Iron Hats’, but with inadequate preparation now, even so, merely relying on these heads isn’t something common to break.
This path of skill is the Breaking Through a Thousand Armies under Life and Death Chess!
Who would have thought their invincible iron heads would be defeated by another’s head?
A girl’s head, no less?
Compared to it, their own iron heads seem worthless!?
What’s going on here?
Before the two horses could react, Chu Qing’s blade glow flashed, Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Saber cut through the void, the two ’horse’ heads instantly fell, dead on the spot.
Meanwhile, four figures rushed closer.
They were the four ’soldiers’ from before!
Chu Qing executed a Shocking Cold Gaze, killing one on the spot.
The remaining four simultaneously attacked, their fists’ momentum unfolded, still the seemingly simple fist technique, every punch seemed to decide life and death!
This was the Soldier Path Killing Fist under Life and Death Chess!
This fist, imbued with intense killing intent, explodes into lethal force once it hits, capable of erasing vitality, extinguishing spirit.
Previously, Beitang Zun felt accurately, that if hit by this punch, nine times out of ten you’d die instantly.
According to the original Life and Death Chess Array, they should adhere to the chessboard rules, unable to rampage within the array.
But now the ’chessboard’ has been destroyed by Chu Qing, who cares about those rules?
Attacking simultaneously, aiming to directly kill Chu Qing.
Chu Qing raised his eyes, his hand holding the saber unchanged, the other hand striking accordingly.
A dragon roar echoed far and wide!
Though wielding one hand, what is used is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’ Shocking Hundred Miles!
A dragon-shaped shadow roared out, clawed and fang-bearing, emanating cold aura, crashing violently into the four figures.
Massive forces clashed, accompanied by thump, thump, thump, thump!
