The chess king and Master Huo engaged in a fierce battle high in the sky, the sound of their collisions echoing throughout the entire capital.
The chess king even took the time to threaten Xia Tianqiong, saying, "Hand over my chessboard, and I will let you go."
Old Huo, with disheveled hair and multiple injuries, laughed heartily, "Commander Xia, don't worry. Because of your special circumstances, he won't kill you."
On the ground, Xia Tianqiong was surrounded by sixteen or seventeen skeleton soldiers of the Ghost General level.
Upon hearing the words of the two demon kings, he immediately thought of Jun Shisan.
The chess king may have some relationship with Jun Shisan, but they are neither friends nor enemies.
Just like the Three-Eyed Demon King and the Scholar, it seems they are both waiting for Jun Shisan to appear.
Amidst a flurry of thoughts, a group of skeleton soldiers charged forward.
With a thought, Xia Tianqiong summoned all the ghost generals he could currently summon.
The bespectacled boy is in Taohai City, and the mysterious generals are in the floating city. At this moment, there are only ten mysterious generals.
Although they were outnumbered, their strength was slightly superior.
After consuming the sacred peach, Old Man Wang has now reached the peak of the Ghost General realm, second only to Little Peach. He can take on two skeleton soldiers.
Xia Tianqiong's current strength is close to the peak of the Ghost General, so dealing with one would be very easy.
His fiery clone has also flown back and can fight one of them as well.
Xiao Tao can even take on three opponents at once, and still find time to study the chessboard in her hand.
The fierce fighting left the surrounding neighborhood in ruins, with buildings collapsing and streets cracking.
This is only a battle between the demon generals. If the two demon kings were to fight on the ground, they would destroy the city in an instant.
Summer Sky unleashed its full power, transforming the power of reincarnation into miniature tornadoes that entangled the skeleton soldiers.
It not only wears down the skeletal structure, but also attacks the opponent's consciousness.
A moment later, with a whoosh, a skeleton soldier was finally killed.
He looked back and saw that Xiao Tao had already killed two people not far away, and was about to eliminate the last one.
Xiao Tao suddenly looked up and said, "Boss, I've been studying this for a long time, and the Chess King's consciousness is sealed inside the chessboard. I can't break the seal, nor can I destroy the chessboard."
Xia Tianqiong immediately teleported over and took the chessboard to examine it.
There were no chess pieces on the chessboard, only a worn-out copper coin, which was clearly Huo Lao's seal.
He tried to pry it open with his hand, but it wouldn't budge. He then tried using the power of the netherworld and the power of reincarnation, but he couldn't shake the seal either.
If the seal cannot be broken, then the consciousness inside cannot be devoured.
Xia Tianqiong looked up at the sky and saw the two Ghost Kings still locked in fierce combat. He couldn't help but ask, "Elder Huo, how do you open this thing?"
Old Huo did not reply publicly, but instead sent him a telepathic message.
"Silly boy, if you really devour the Chess King's consciousness, he'll fight you to the death."
I'm giving you the chessboard so you can use it to escape. That way, he'll chase after you, and the crisis in the capital will be resolved on its own.
Xia Tianqiong stared blankly for several seconds with her mouth agape.
I had a 'f*** you' in my heart that I really wanted to shout, but I held it in.
Old Huo may seem honest and kind, but it turns out he's quite cunning.
Xia Tianqiong replied telepathically, "I ran away with the chessboard, making him chase after me. Aren't you just trying to get me into trouble?"
“I already told you, he won’t really kill you. At most, he’ll grab you and beat you up to vent his anger.”
"Is it because of Jun Shisan?"
"I can't say much, but I can tell you that many Ghost Kings are waiting for that one to appear in the world, so they can lead the way in doing something!"
Xia Tianqiong roughly guessed what it was and was about to continue transmitting his voice when he suddenly saw the Chess King and Elder Huo stop playing at the same time.
Then they all looked up at the crack in the sky.
Since the Chess King emerged, the crack has not disappeared; on the contrary, it seems to be expanding.
At this moment, both Elder Huo and the Chess King had serious expressions and were staring intently at the crack.
In a short while, a figure emerged from among them.
Then came the second and third rounds.
Three figures arrived from the realm of the supernatural, immediately radiating a powerful aura.
"Three Demon Kings!"
Xia Tianqiong frowned. Things were already chaotic enough, and now three more ghost kings had arrived. Not only was the capital in danger, but the entire human world was doomed.
Just then, he heard a voice transmission in his mind again.
But it didn't come from Old Master Huo, but from the Chess King.
The chess master's voice carried a hint of anxiety, "Run! Get out of here before they find you, they're here to kill you."
Xia Tianqiong was horrified and quickly asked telepathically, "Why do you want to kill me?"
Before the chess king could answer, Old Master Huo's voice transmission sounded.
"The situation is bad. These three ghost kings have a deep grudge against that person. They definitely don't want that person to appear in the world. If they find out your identity, they will definitely kill you. Leave quietly and don't attract attention."
Xia Tianqiong silently turned around and walked into the building on the side of the street.
At this moment, the Chess King's reply arrived: "Before I descended to the mortal realm, these three sought me out, wanting me to help them kill you, because they did not wish for that one to reappear in the world."
"Oh, and before you run away, leave my chessboard behind, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Xia Tianqiong thought that Elder Huo was right; this chess king really didn't intend to kill him.
Just as the Chess King and Elder Huo were exchanging telepathic messages, one of the three Ghost Kings, a Ghost King with a snake's body and a human body, suddenly spoke.
"Thanks to the Chess King for opening the passage between the two worlds, otherwise we would not have been able to come to the human world unharmed."
The Chess King's face was gloomy as he coldly questioned, "Ever since our last meeting, you have been secretly following me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to find this passage so quickly."
The three demon kings smiled inexplicably but did not answer.
Suddenly, one of the rat-headed, human-bodied demon kings sniffed the air.
