Chapter 1470 What for? (1/2)
When Zhou Yuan's chilling voice sounded, Yan Xu’s face grew increasingly unpleasant because he could feel Zhou Yuan’s imposing manner steadily growing stronger.
This indicated the strengthening power of the Heavenly Chessboard was being transferred to Zhou Yuan.
On the contrary, Yan Xu’s Saint power was beginning to weaken because, according to the rules of the Heavenly Chessboard, he was considered the inferior side.
Therefore, the Heavenly Chessboard transferred Saint power that originally belonged to him directly over to Zhou Yuan.
When one rises, the other falls.
Yan Xu experienced what it meant by shooting yourself in the foot.
He completely didn’t expect such a change to happen. After all, although the two sides of the Heavenly chessboard were said to be roughly equal in strength, Yan Xu, the owner of the chessboard, could find loopholes to take advantage of. For example, he used a special means to make Hong Lin break through to the Saint stage and broke the balance between the two sides.
But Yan Xu never would have thought that two people from Cangxuan Heaven would simultaneously break through to the Saint stage. After all, the Sacred Race knew about Cangxuan Heaven like the back of its hand due to Sheng Yuan providing intelligence. Therefore, the Sacred Race was aware that, even though sect master Qing Yang and the others were second only to Zhou Yuan in Cangxuan Heaven, their likelihood of reaching the Saint stage wasn’t high.
As for Chu Qing and Li Chunjun and the younger generation, they had just reached the Law Domain stage a few years ago and were even more unlikely to reach the Saint stage.
Therefore, the Sacred Race paid little attention to them and Yan Xu also overlooked them and saw them as insignificant ants. But who would have thought that his negligence caused the reversal in the situation?
On the battlefield, after Chu Qing and Li Chunjun jointly dealt with Hong Lin, they unhesitatingly charged into the Sacred Race’s army of Law Domain experts and mighty saint qi raged everywhere.
The two Saint’s appearance was undoubtedly similar to a fierce dragon charging into a pack of wolves. Within seconds, the Sacred Race army already suffered heavy casualties.
Kacha!
As Chu Qing and Li Chunjun charged forward and went on a killing spree, the chess pieces that represented Sacred Race experts began to shatter.
Yan Xu’s complexion grew increasingly worse.
This was because Zhou Yuan’s imposing manner was becoming increasingly powerful.
The Heavenly Chessboard was constantly weakening Yan Xu’s strength to increase Zhou Yuan’s.
Yan Xu’s eyes glinted fiercely. He knew he couldn’t let this continue.
His plan so far had been a complete failure.
He had to change tactics.
“Zhou Yuan, don't be too smug. The Heavenly Chessboard has its own rules, but I am its owner and so I have a greater advantage than you think.” Yan Xu glared at Zhou Yuan. A drop of golden Saint blood dripped from his fingertip and onto the chessboard.
“Heavenly Chessboard, close!”
Since he was about to lose this game, it was better to end it soon. Even if Zhou Yuan had already been strengthened, it could still prevent the situation from worsening.
As Yan Xu roared out, the Heavenly Chessboard vibrated and currents of air seemed to be rising from the board. Many chess pieces started to fade.
The chess game was about to end.
Zhou Yuan smiled. “You’re really bad at chess.”
Yan Xu ignored Zhou Yuan’s taunting, and quickened the speed of which the chessboard was fading.
However, Zhou Yuan suddenly slammed his palm on the board and said indifferently. “But isn’t it a little unfair that you start and end the chess game as you please.”
Yan Xu’s eyelids twitched. “So what?”
But as his voice died away, he found the chess pieces on the chessboard were flickering back and forth between an illusory and tangible state and hadn’t truly vanished.
They seemed to be obstructed by some sort of force.
Yan Xu’s pupils suddenly shrank. He instantly understood what had happened. He cast a furious look over Zhou Yuan. “This is your doing?”
