Chapter 609 Four Kingdoms Flying Chess 10

[The faction battle has ended. Han Sheng and Tang Li Lizhi are eliminated!]

[Han Dynasty's Gao Jianli obtains the "Shared Destiny" card*1]

[Supporting Unit: Qin gains the "All-Out Attack" buff *1]

[Support: Clears the zero-reset debuff *1]

A series of system notifications sounded, and then, in full view of everyone, Li Lizhi disappeared from the chessboard before she could say anything and was returned to the Tang Dynasty's base, leaving only three members on the Tang side.

As the supporting side, Qin and Qing showed the most obvious changes. Qin's Li Si and Han Fei both successfully moved out of the starting point; while Qing's Yinzhen, who had gone too far, had no choice but to retreat back to the starting point, and everything was reset to zero.

As for the Great Han, since only Gao Jianli was outside the starting point, he couldn't use this card for the time being.

[Same Boat Card: Allows you to select any teammate who started at the same point and jump to the same square.]

Gao Jianli carefully put away the card in his hand. This card is obviously more useful in the later stages of the game. Of course, everything depends on how the situation on the field changes, but there is obviously no need to use it now.

"Looking at it this way... Qin and Han are definitely in the lead..."

Yin couldn't help but mutter, "Tang is already out there, and he hasn't gone far. He's missing a teammate. Qing is in an even worse situation. Only Lao Si is out there, and he's still stuck at the starting line."

Now look at Qin and Han. Qin sent all four of its people out. Han only sent one person, but he went much further!

The situation on the field was clear to everyone, and the atmosphere became more tense, or rather, the sense of competition that had been absent due to the rather bizarre rules suddenly became apparent.

[Clear: 2 o'clock]

This time, Yinzhen, Yinsi, and Yinzhen discussed it and finally decided to send Yinsi out in the smallest even number, as it would be too dangerous for him to be alone outside.

[Qin: 3 o'clock]

Fusu took three steps forward, but nothing was triggered.

[Han: 4 points]

With his tactics unchanged, Gao Jianli pressed forward relentlessly.

[Tang: 6 points; Second roll: 2 points]

Li Chengqian moves forward 6 spaces, while Fang Xuanling moves out of the starting position.

[Clear: 2 o'clock]

The starting point of the Suo'etu diagram.

...

The rounds passed calmly, with each side moving forward without triggering any challenges. This only heightened everyone's vigilance, making them feel as if it were the calm before the storm.

[Han: 5 o'clock]

Upon seeing this number, everyone couldn't help but gasp, because Gao Jianli only needed 5 more steps to officially embark on the road to the finish line.

Despite the countless scrutinizing gazes, Gao Jianli remained calm and stepped forward. The moment his feet touched the fifth square, the familiar notification sound rang out, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Ding! Han Gaojianli has triggered the finish line ambush battle. The other three non-player members can register to participate in the ambush battle before the countdown ends!]

[If the attack is successful, Han Gaojianli will be moved back one space and prohibited from moving forward three times; if the attack fails, Han Gaojianli will successfully enter the finish line and gain a second throwing opportunity.]

With the rules simple and easy to understand, countless people subconsciously pressed the button to participate in the ambush as the countdown reached 10.

"The one with outstanding strength!"

Yinreng blurted out, unsure of the specific form of the ambush. If it were to be chosen randomly, then naturally the stronger the ambush fighters, the better.

"Press it now!"

Meanwhile, in the Zhangtai Palace of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Ao nearly broke the buttons. He not only pressed them himself but also urged Meng Yi, who had just returned, to press them as well. In short, their desire to participate in the ambush was completely undisguised, and the others were no exception; the Qin people were never afraid of battle.

"according to!"

Li Shimin pressed the button first. This time, it was finally their turn to get revenge!

In short, within just 10 seconds, tensions were running high from all sides. Gao Jianli gripped the sword at his waist, remaining calm and composed. No matter who came, he would not back down.

[Countdown complete! Matching with opponents...]

[Qin Dynasty - Xiang Yu]

[Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji]

[Zhu Chongba, Qing Dynasty]

[Han Dynasty, Gao Jianli: Please choose your opponent.]

Gao Jianli's gaze swept over the three figures before him. Xiang Yu, though agile, was clearly still a child, and he wouldn't bully a child; Li Yuanji, wielding a spear, was followed by a ferocious leopard, looking fierce but... a bit foolish; and Zhu Chongba...

Looking at the man dressed in flamboyant red, with silk threads dancing in his hands and exuding an evil aura, Gao Jianli's feelings were somewhat complicated.

For the sake of the Han Dynasty, he should choose the seemingly easy-to-bully Li Yuanji, rather than Zhu Chongba, who had previously fought him to a standstill. But from the perspective of his heart, and his sense of martial arts and chivalry, he wanted to choose Zhu Chongba, his true opponent.

The Water Cold Sword vibrated gently at his waist, as if sensing his feelings.

"Do it your way."

Liu Ju suddenly appeared, looked at Gao Jianli who had turned around with a complicated expression, and gave him a bright smile: "Fight as you please, the Han Dynasty has more than just this one battle."

Gao Jianli's wavering resolve completely solidified, "I choose... Zhu Chongba."

He couldn't be sure of the outcome of the battle, but he absolutely couldn't waver in his resolve before it even began; if his resolve wavered, the sword in his hand would become dull.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Did you miss me that much?"

As soon as Zhu Chongba appeared on the system's arena, he greeted Gao Jianli familiarly and affectionately, completely ignoring his cold expression. "Silence means you've been thinking of me. I understand, I understand everything—"

"..." The previously tense atmosphere was suddenly broken, and everyone looked at Zhu Chongba with disbelief, and then at the four people from the Qing Dynasty.

Yinzhen looked down at the pattern on Yinsi's sleeve. Hmm, it's really beautiful.

Soetu and Mingzhu looked up and down, seemingly suddenly becoming very interested in observing the chessboard they were on;

Yinzhi looked back innocently and returned a gentle smile to the flirtatious glance that Zhu Chongba had suddenly thrown at him.

"Tsk, so narcissistic..." Liu Ju couldn't help but complain, feeling like this person was trying to steal his persona.

"Stealing my thunder..." Li Chengqian pondered. How come this guy looks even more like a playboy than he does? No, he needs to keep improving. His position as the number one playboy in the Tang Dynasty cannot be shaken!

Gao Jianli on the stage didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Chongba's nonsense. As soon as his fingertips touched the scabbard of the Water Cold Sword, frost flowers condensed on the bluestone bricks around the arena.

The moment the sword was drawn from its sheath, a chilling sword intent exploded like a blizzard—the icy blue halo floating on the seven-stringed sword tinged his half-closed eyelashes with frost.

Across from him, Zhu Chongba's red robe billowed in the cold air. He twirled a red thread between his fingers, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Tsk, Xiao Gao, why are you making your move after only a few words? So impatient..."

Before he could finish speaking, a streak of icy blue sword energy tore through the air and aimed straight at his face.

Zhu Chongba spun around to dodge, his boots skimming three feet across the ice, sparks flying from the ice shards he kicked up: "A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love, I understand, Xiao Gao, your love for me runs deep..."

Gao Jianli frowned slightly, his frosty eyes remaining completely calm. Suddenly, the Water Cold Sword in his hand transformed into thousands of ice butterflies, sweeping towards Zhu Chongba in a massive, overwhelming attack.

Zhu Chongba let out a low shout, and a red thread shot out from his fingertip like a serpent, colliding with the ice butterfly in mid-air and unleashing a deafening roar. He moved like a ghost behind Gao Jianli, the red thread aimed straight for the back of his neck: "Little Gao, you love me so much, it wouldn't be right for me not to return it..."

Ice-blue sword energy and crimson silk threads tangled together in the air, Gao Jianli's clothes fluttered in the wind, and each swing of his sword brought with it a chilling icy wind; Zhu Chongba moved about with strange dance steps, melting ice and frost and igniting flames wherever he went.

Two figures, one in red and one in blue, darted about amidst the interplay of ice and fire, moving so fast that it was impossible to discern their exact movements.

Before long, the two stood alternately on either side of the arena. Gao Jianli sheathed his sword, and the silk thread on Zhu Chongba's hand disappeared. The arena fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the two seemingly unharmed, the crowd couldn't help but murmur, "Who won?"
