Chapter 495: The Chess Pieces and the Chess Players (First Update)

Long Haotian deeply regretted his impulsive behavior this time.

Obviously, this strong man calculated that Long Haotian would definitely come to absorb his soul, so he specially opened the city gate and invited you to enter the urn. Of course, what Long Haotian didn't know was that this strong man didn't expect Long Haotian to commit suicide so decisively, which caused his soul power to suffer a lot of trauma.

"Long Haotian, the same trick has been used too much, but it doesn't work. The man lifted the gold bottle and tasted the wine rather elegantly.

"It seems that you have been following me all along!" Long Haotian sneered, "Say it! What do you want!"

"What do you want? Somebody, of course, to play with me. It's hard to find a bosom friend in this world, and it's also hard to find a good opponent!" the man said, filling the gold bottle in front of him.

"I'm sorry for the compliment," Long Haotian pointed to the empty seat opposite the man, "So, that seat was reserved for me?"

"No, no, no, Long Haotian, you are wrong. This seat will only be reserved for bosom friends and good opponents, as for whether you are one of these two, you still need me to verify it myself!"

With that, the man drank the wine, then lifted the gold bottle and tapped it lightly on the table. Suddenly, Long Haotian felt that the earth began to tremble violently.

"Titicaca!"

With a loud bang, straight notches appeared on the ground, dividing the entire earth into countless squares, each of which was ten meters longitudinal and horizontal, as if it were like a huge chessboard, boundless.

At the same time, on the table, in the middle of the two golden bottles, sixty-four chess pieces appeared together, and their appearance was the same as the sixty-four generals around Long Haotian, but the size was many times smaller.

"Chess pieces, ......," Long Haotian said coldly.

"That's right, chess piece! Long Haotian, most of the living beings in this world are just a chess piece. Some people practice hard in the hope that when they become stronger, they can jump off the chessboard and become chess players, but in the end they find that they are still a chess piece, but more important than other chess pieces. Like them!"

The strong man said that, slowly raised one of the chess pieces and fell forward. Suddenly, a general who was facing Long Haotian's direction held a soldier in his hand and roared towards Long Haotian.

Long Haotian's eyes froze, and he hurriedly set up a posture to meet the enemy. However, when the general rushed to the square next to Long Haotian's location, the wild momentum instantly disappeared. At the same time, the general once again returned to his original appearance. One block away, the aura of slaughter made Long Haotian feel suffocated.

"No matter how strong it is, it is always a pawn," said the strong man, taking a sip of wine, "I let it move forward, he must move forward, I let him retreat, he must retreat bravely, I let him live, I let him die." This is the difference between a chess player and a chess piece.

"Over the years, there have been too many people who have tried to jump off the chessboard, but in the end they have all failed and become what you are looking for. Long Haotian, you are the most talented genius I have ever seen, I wonder if you have the qualifications to finally be on an equal footing with me?"

"Just try it!" Long Haotian's expression was extremely serious.

There is a kingly aura in this person, and from this point of view, Long Haotian is almost certain that he is Qin Li. It's just that Long Haotian doesn't understand, where has Qin Li gone all these years, and what is the purpose of his doing this?

However, that strong man obviously wouldn't give Long Haotian much time to think. He chuckled and held one up again. The previous chess piece came from his east, and this one came from the west. A moment later, with another roar, the general stopped firmly behind Long Haotian.

"Two first, is it enough?" asked the strong man.

"I don't mind coming four!" Long Haotian sneered.

"As you wish!" the strong man put down his glass and raised his chess piece again. Suddenly, another general came from the north and south, and suddenly formed a four-sided encirclement with the two people in front of Long Haotian.

"Let the horses come over!" Long Haotian said loudly.

"Attack!" the strong man said calmly, and then raised the golden bottle and slowly drank it, as if the battle between the chess pieces had nothing to do with him.

Listening to the instructions of the chess player, under the helmets of the four generals, eight dazzling points of light suddenly flashed. Then, accompanied by the sharp sound of heavy armor grinding, I saw that the general in the east raised the war lance in his hand high and stabbed it at Long Haotian's front heart.

"So fast!" Long Haotian was secretly surprised, deeply feeling that he had underestimated the opponent in front of him.

This warrior was five meters tall, heavily armoured, ten meters long with a lance in his hand, and a foot and a half in diameter. Therefore, Long Haotian always thought that his attack speed would not be too fast. But who expected that this blow was so fast that Long Haotian didn't have time to dodge. He could only raise his arms and pick up the sharp tip of the lance.

"Bang!" - "Snort——"

With a piercing grinding sound, Long Haotian's hands gripped the tip of the lance, and his body was pushed backwards by the powerful force of the general, almost coming to the edge of the square.

"Titicaca—— whoosh!"

Beside him, there was another sound of armor grinding, and then three lightning-fast slams hit Long Haotian's back heart. The whistling tip of the lance seems to completely lock the entire universe, even if it is winged.

"Boom, boom!"

With four loud bangs, the lance smashes the entire square. The strong man on the floating island seemed to be slightly disappointed, as if he was saying to himself, "Is it over?

"It's over?hahahaha! Your Excellency is too underestimating people!" Suddenly, Long Haotian's laughter came from under the ruins.

"Hmm, aren't you dead?" the strong man cast his gaze on the ground, and his eyes suddenly froze.

Just look at the four heavy war lances, which were slowly lifted by a force at this moment. The quartet clearly sensed this and kept putting pressure on the underneath. However, what they didn't expect was that the greater the pressure, the more amazing the lifting force became.

After about ten breaths, I heard an angry shout from among the ruins. Long Haotian was like a hero who was pulling out the mountains, and he actually lifted these four war lances off the ground at the same time.

And the four generals obviously didn't expect Long Haotian's strength to be so terrifying, so that they couldn't stand on their feet, and they all retreated half a step back.

"Such a small skill of carving insects can't hurt me at all!" Long Haotian said angrily, "Burn me!"

In an instant, I saw the green light rising from Long Haotian's palm. Then the green flame burned above the tip of the lance. Soon, the fire spread upwards along the lance, and in less than ten breaths, it had burned to the point where it was in his hand.

"Demon Flame Burial Soul!" the strong man said lightly, taking a sip of wine.

"Good eyesight," Long Haotian sneered, "I don't know how long your subordinates can withstand it!"

"Boom ——"

With Long Haotian roaring again, his palms seemed to turn into two craters. And as soon as the flame touched the palms of the four generals, it actually devoured their entire bodies in an instant.

"Whew——"

Although the strong man boasted that he should obey him as a pawn, he did not give the order to retreat at this moment. However, when the flames burned, the four eventually forgot the orders of the chess player. Watch as they frantically tear off their flaming armor and roll on the ground in the hope that they can extinguish the flames.

But when the armor was removed, Long Haotian felt the breath of these four people, and his heart was shocked.

Because it stands to reason that the people in the illusion are all conscious bodies that have been integrated into the soul. To some extent, they are a doppelganger of the warrior himself. The appearance may be a little different, but the aura should be the same as that of the warrior himself. But why did these four generals not only have completely different faces, but even the aura on their bodies had no resemblance to the strong man?

"Could it be that he is ......" Long Haotian was excited, and at this moment a name flashed in his mind, a terrifying but hated name: Soul Reaper.
