Chapter 284: Helpless, Lost Chess Friends Again
Prince Zhou was in charge of the central army. His military soul fell into the chessboard and transformed into a black dragon, which surrounded and killed Mr. Yuan Ming.
Mr. Yuan Ming did not have a large army to help him, but he was well versed in Taoism, and he was like an army of thousands. In a moment, a white dragon was born and attacked Prince Zhou.
Prince Zhou acted neither hastily nor slowly. Under his command, the army advanced and retreated in a measured manner, either avoiding the enemy's sharp edge or attacking where they had to rescue, breaking up the formations set up by Mr. Yuan Ming one by one.
Mr. Yuan Ming's face flushed, he coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Good move, good move!"
Of course it’s a good move.
They were chess friends, and were very familiar with each other's moves. Those skilled in chess often had mountains and rivers in their minds, and a clear understanding of the world's formations.
If it were at its peak, Mr. Yuan Ming's chessboard formation would certainly be able to trap Prince Zhou, trapping him inside the chessboard and making it difficult for him to escape.
But now Mr. Yuanming was injured, and Prince Zhou led his troops again. Taking advantage of the military strength, Mr. Yuanming was defeated.
The white dragon and the black dragon wrestled with each other, flying in the clouds and claws clashing with each other, with scales and armor scattered and flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Even someone like Gong Mengbi, who had no knowledge of chess, could see with his own eyes that Mr. Yuan Ming was no match for Prince Zhou.
He landed on Yuwang Peak, with a chessboard formation under his feet. Seeing that Mr. Yuanming was defeated, he sighed and flew towards Mr. Yuanming.
Mr. Yuan Ming had known of his coming, but did not reveal his whereabouts. On the one hand, he did not want him to be involved in the incident, and on the other hand, it was convenient for him to leave quickly if he saw something wrong.
Unexpectedly, Gong Mengbi did not retreat but advanced. Knowing that he was going to lose, he showed up.
As soon as Gong Mengbi showed up, Menghua and Wen Mengchun were startled and shouted, "Brother Gong!"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Long time no see, I wish you two good health."
Gong Mengbi bowed to the boy Haoran again before greeting Mr. Yuanming: "Mr. Yuanming."
Mr. Yuan Ming sighed and said, "Why bother getting involved in this mess?"
Gong Mengbi looked at Menghua and Wen Mengchun and said, "We have no choice but to come where justice lies."
Mr. Yuan Ming said to the three younger generations, "The little fox has been here for a long time. He has been hiding in the dark and only showed up for you."
Meng Hua and Wen Mengchun were deeply moved and sighed, "Brother Lao Gong rescued us that day, and today Brother Lao Gong is risking his life again."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "You are my close friends. Senior Huolong has been my half-mentor. I cannot sit idly by and watch. Why are you saying these polite words to me? If I were in trouble, would you sit idly by and watch?"
The three of them looked at each other and started laughing.
Gong Mengbi explained how he had followed General Zhao here, and then asked, "Mr. Yuanming, is there anything I can help you with?"
Among all the people present, apart from Mr. Yuanming, only Gong Mengbi has reached the middle level and cultivated into a spiritual god. If anyone can really help Mr. Yuanming, it is only Gong Mengbi.
Mr. Yuan Ming said, "Prince Zhou is here with his troops, and I'm injured. I'm afraid I can't stop him, so you don't have to take any risks. Even if they break my chessboard formation, they still have to cross the Yujing and subdue the evil dragon, so success is not certain."
Gong Mengbi knew that he was too small and powerless to help. The birth of the evil dragon must be imminent.
Gong Mengbi asked, "How did Mr. Yuanming get injured?"
Haoran Tongzi said indignantly, "The ghosts in Shanyin were causing chaos. Master and Master Xuanguang of Xianglu Peak went to suppress them and were both injured. Prince Zhou took advantage of this opportunity to attack Yujing. He is clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "It's not taking advantage of someone's misfortune, it's been planned for a long time."
If it was really a spur-of-the-moment decision, how could they have gathered so many military spirits? General Zhao's arrival as promised was clearly a premeditated plan.
Meng Hua said in a deep voice, "It is true that he has been planning this for a long time. I am afraid that the riot among the ghosts in Shanyin is also because of him."
Mr. Yuanming was so focused on dealing with Prince Zhou that he had no time to take care of anything else.
Gong Mengbi asked, "What are the origins of the Shanyin ghosts?"
Haoran said, "The ghosts in Shanyin are the evil spirits that King Yu suppressed when he controlled the flood. They have not been liberated yet and often try to escape and cause trouble."
Although Zhenshan is the place where King Yu suppressed demons, evil spirits and evil gods, it also bears the responsibility of suppressing demons and evil spirits because King Yu gathered spiritual energy from all directions.
The evil dragon is suppressed in the Yu Well, and the ghosts are suppressed in the Shanyin.
Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Those bald donkeys on Xianglu Peak have been here for so long, and not a single one has come to help."
Mr. Yuanming knocked him on the head and said, "Don't be rude. Master Xuanguang is seriously injured, and even if he comes, he may not be able to stop Prince Zhou."
Haoran boy said with tears in his eyes, "It's obvious that they see the birth of the evil dragon as a foregone conclusion and don't want to offend Crown Prince Zhou."
Mr. Yuanming sighed.
In just the time it took to speak, the white dragon on the chessboard had already been defeated, and the black dragon was covered in blood. It roared, broke the chessboard formation, and jumped out of the formation.
Mr. Yuan Ming stood up and took the chessboard in his hand.
Prince Zhou dismounted from his chariot and bowed, saying, "Mr. Yuanming, the chessboard formation has been broken. Please make way."
Mr. Yuan Ming looked at Prince Zhou, then at the four juniors behind him. He closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again and said, "Prince Zhou, please reconsider."
Prince Zhou bowed slightly, then straightened his back and shouted, "Move the tripod!"
The army pressed forward, marching three steps at a time.
The black dragon roared and rushed straight towards Mr. Yuan Ming.
The strong wind ruffled Mr. Yuan Ming's hair. He looked deeply at Prince Zhou, turned around and said, "See you later."
Mr. Yuan Ming wrapped the four juniors behind him and left Yuwang Peak, but did not go far away. He just flew to the top of the hill next to him and watched everything around Yujing.
Gong Mengbi and the other three were also watching from the side. They saw Prince Zhou commanding the army to cut all the chains on the square tripod that suppressed Yu Jing.
Every time a chain was broken, a loud crash was heard from Yujing.
When all the chains were broken, a long, angry cry was heard.
With a loud bang, a force like a landslide came from the Yu Well, overturning the square tripod on top.
The sound of rattling chains came from the Yu Well, and a water dragon with black scales all over its body and deep blue eyes emerged from the well. The dragon's four feet were locked by chains. When it flew out of the well, it pulled the chains straight. Blood flowed from its four feet, and in a moment, a strange sound like spilled oil was produced, emitting a black miasma.
The miasma was so strong that even ghosts could not bear it. There was an immediate commotion in the army. Every soldier felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
Prince Zhou seemed to have anticipated this. He raised a piece of rhino horn in his hand and dispelled the miasma.
The evil dragon looked at the rhino horn and let out a long roar, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Prince Zhou reorganized his army, and the military spirit turned into a black dragon, rushing towards the evil dragon to fight.
With the help of the rhino horn, the evil dragon's poison had nowhere to be used. The black dragon wrapped around it, pierced the evil dragon's neck with the rhino horn, and then sucked it in violently.
The evil dragon let out a wail, and the dragon blood, dragon soul, and dragon balls were swallowed up by the black dragon like a dragon sucking water.
The black dragon let out a long roar, turned around and pounced towards Prince Zhou.
Prince Zhou did not move at all. The black dragon flew into his body like a young swallow.
He closed his eyes, and a poisonous fire started burning on his body, almost burning him to death, but in a flash, he managed to suppress it with the rhino horn.
"Walk!"
Prince Zhou shouted loudly, and the army turned into dark wind and black dragons and disappeared into the night sky.
Mr. Yuan Ming watched quietly, and finally said sadly: "I lost another chess friend today."
