Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Placed in Death Territory and Then Revival (2nd Release)

The entire hall was amazed again.

Because although it was only a few matches, many people had already realized, Xue An was apparently defeating his opponents using their own favored moves and styles.

Such a versatile and unpredictable style of play was truly astounding.

However, Xue An paid no attention to this, he was even casually playing chess with a woman while observing other people’s games around him.

If nothing unexpected occurred, Zhuge Xuanqing would still win.

Jing Tianrui was probably not far off either.

Then Xue An turned all his attention to Gong Changyue.

In fact, from the moment they sat down, the game between Gong Changyue and Di Yuanlong attracted the most attention.

Because many people understood the current plight of the Gong Family.

If Gong Changyue couldn’t defeat Di Yuanlong and stand out from the third round of the match, then the entire Gong Family would completely slide into the Abyss.

Moreover, the personal grudge between Di Yuanlong and Gong Changyue was well-known.

Many people wanted to see what the outcome of this contest between the two would be.

In this chess game, Di Yuanlong was playing first, he sneered at Gong Changyue a few times, then made a move.

”Gong Changyue, I admire your courage, but the way of chess is not won by courage alone. This time, I’ll let you truly understand what a strong player is!”

This method of attacking the opponent’s morale with words at the opening was very popular among chess players in the Tian Zhao Star Domain.

Especially when facing opponents whose determination was not so resolute, this tactic often proved surprisingly effective.

But this time,

Di Yuanlong miscalculated.

Gong Changyue faced him with a solemn expression, glanced coldly at Di Yuanlong, and then began to make his moves in silence.

This wordless silence made all of Di Yuanlong’s provocative words fall flat.

This made Di Yuanlong inwardly furious, ”What’s wrong, too scared to speak?”

Gong Changyue looked up at Di Yuanlong and said coldly, ”Chess contests rely on cultivation level, not on the mouth! You can shut up now!”

”You...” Di Yuanlong was furious to the extreme, but he had no strategy left and had to continue playing while suppressing his anger.

Di Yuanlong indeed had a reason for his pride, having been subjected to extremely harsh training at Tian Zhao Chess Academy from a young age, so in terms of both chess skills and Divine Sense cultivation level, he was slightly better than Gong Changyue.

This gap had not decreased over the past three years.

So when the two reached the middle game,

Gong Changyue was already showing signs of distress, falling completely at a disadvantage.

Many spectators couldn’t help but shake their heads at the scene.

”Di Yuanlong is still slightly better. It seems that the Gong Family, once a great chess power, really isn’t what it used to be, even their only heir has fallen to such a state!” someone sighed.

At that moment, Di Yuanlong with a wildly arrogant sneer said, ”Gong Changyue, where’s that arrogance now? Why not bring it out? You wanted to beat me, didn’t you? Come on!”

Gong Changyue’s eyes were bloodshot, his heart entirely occupied by a sense of helplessness.

Had he really pushed himself to his limits only to lose to this man in the end?

Below the stage, Gong Xueman saw her brother in such a state, her heart aching, and tears were swirling in her eyes.

But just then,

Xue An, who was still leisurely playing his game, suddenly sighed lightly, ”Sometimes, placing oneself in a dead-end situation is the only way to come out alive.”

Many people were baffled by these words, not understanding what he meant.

But Gong Changyue shuddered, his eyes initially clouded by despair suddenly cleared.

That’s right! To find life in the face of death, why hadn’t I thought of that?

Thinking this, Gong Changyue dropped a piece as if inspired.

This move had no clever strategy; it could even be said to be merely a casual move.

Seeing this, Di Yuanlong sneered, ”After all the mystifying talk, are you prepared to surrender?”

In such a high-level chess match, it was almost impossible for casual moves to occur. Once it did, it signified that one side had completely given up, merely trying to delay the inevitable to save some face.

Di Yuanlong clearly thought Gong Changyue had given up resisting, so he sneered and began to aggressively advance step by step.

Gong Changyue’s pieces began being massively slaughtered.

In an instant,

all of the pieces with which Gong Changyue could have formed a foothold had been ruthlessly slaughtered.

No one held any hope for Gong Changyue anymore.

Di Yuanlong chuckled sinisterly, ”Kid, today is the day your Gong Family falls into disrepute!”

With that, he made a move.

Many people turned their heads, unable to watch any longer.

Because they felt that with Di Yuanlong’s move,

Gong Changyue was bound to lose without a doubt.

But just when everyone had given up hope,

Gong Changyue coldly said, ”This may be the end for you, but for me, it is just the beginning!”

Saying so, Gong Changyue placed a piece amidst the chaotic idle pieces.

This move surprised many.

”Has Gong Changyue gone mad?”

”Yes, with this move, the ones to get hurt first would be his own pieces!”

Indeed.

As this piece was placed,

Gong Changyue’s pieces began to gradually go out.

Di Yuanlong burst into loud laughter, ”So you prepared for so long only to plan a suicide! What an imaginative approach...”

His laughter abruptly stopped.

Then, there came an incredible chorus of gasps from the crowd.

Because on the board, as Gong Changyue’s pieces had nearly half extinguished, the situation on the chessboard took a drastic turn.

Di Yuanlong, who had been firmly in the lead, suddenly found a large number of his pieces turned into immovable dead stones.

Although Gong Changyue’s pieces were few, they connected into a lively dragon that could advance or retreat.

”How... how is this possible?” Di Yuanlong couldn’t trust his own eyes.

Gong Changyue’s face remained indifferent. ”Now, it’s your move!”

The venue fell silent.

People watched the scene in stunned silence.

Gong Xueman’s eyes brimmed with tears as she excitedly whispered, ”Brother, I thought you were outdated before, but now I see just how cool you really are!”

Di Yuanlong stayed dumbfounded for a good while before making a move in a daze.

Even now, even a Chess Saint facing such a situation would be at a loss.

So, under Gong Changyue’s several fatal moves, Di Yuanlong’s pieces were all captured, losing spotlessly.

The audience gasped in astonishment.

Di Yuanlong’s face turned ashen; he sat petrified.

He couldn’t fathom why he, who had been sure to win, suddenly turned into a loser?

”What... what kind of move is this?” Di Yuanlong asked hoarsely.

Gong Changyue calmly said, ”This is ’Placing oneself in a dead situation to seek survival.’”

”Placing oneself in a dead situation to seek survival...” Di Yuanlong muttered to himself, sitting there.

While Gong Changyue stood up, walked over to Xue An, adjusted his attire, and bowed deeply, ”Thank you, sir, for your guidance!”

As soon as he finished speaking,

Xue An made a move, not even glancing at the pale-faced girl across from him, and simply said, ”You lost!”

Then he turned to Gong Changyue, who was bowing deeply, and said, ”Get up, you did well!”
