68: Chapter 67 Chess Match

Her lips parted slightly as she spoke softly, her voice light and gentle.

A strange expression appeared on Lin Feng's face; he did not sense a shred of Killing Intent in the other party's eyes. Filled with confusion, he arrived at the Star Pavilion.

The moment he stepped inside, Lin Feng suddenly gained a physical form, appearing exactly as he truly looked.

He sat opposite the young girl, with a small starry table separating them. Lin Feng did not dare to be the least bit careless, keeping his guard fully up.

Yet the girl before him seemed to see right through Lin Feng's inner thoughts, chuckling as she said, "You need not be afraid. Shall we play a game?"

Lin Feng understood that this mysterious girl had not brought him to this mysterious space simply for a game of chess. However, in order to figure out her intentions, he nodded. "That is certainly possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl tapped her delicate, scallion-tender index finger against the starry table, and a starry chessboard appeared before them.

Lin Feng held the black pieces, and the girl held the white pieces.

The next moment, Lin Feng's vision suddenly blurred. It was as if every black piece represented someone connected to him: Elder Yi, Grandpa Tianlong, Mother, Revered Master...

He closed his eyes and opened them again, confirming that he hadn't misread the situation. The pieces seemed to carry their auras, and he was the one holding the pieces!

Lin Feng stood up abruptly, staring fixedly at the girl. His gaze was cold as he asked, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"I'm not trying to do anything. I just want to see if you have the strength to win this game!" The girl showed no Life Qi; she smiled gently at him before calmly placing a piece.

Lin Feng looked closely and saw that in the girl's piece box lay pieces representing many factions: Shrek, Tang Sect, Star Luo, Tianhun, Douling, the Sun Moon Empire...

He realized that any faction not belonging to his side was on the board opposite him.

Lin Feng gave a cold smile. "Since you want to play, I will accompany you!"

His expression was cold, and his Killing Intent radiated from his body. He picked up a piece belonging to his side and placed it down, standing in opposition to the girl's white pieces.

On the board, Lin Feng and the girl traded moves. He gradually came to the realization that this chessboard was actually the evolution of the situation on the Douluo Continent, and he needed to control his own forces to battle the girl's hostile factions.

On the board, every time Lin Feng captured a white piece, it would join his side. Likewise, as the girl held the white pieces, every time she captured one of Lin Feng's black pieces, that black piece would disappear completely.

Time slowly passed.

Lin Feng devised strategies and controlled the situation. Relying on his foresight regarding the continent, he soon swallowed up most of the board occupied by the white pieces, and many white pieces turned into black ones.

In the blink of an eye, there were few pieces left on the girl's side of the board, with only a scattered few struggling to survive.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. He met the girl's gaze and said calmly, "It seems I have this game won!"

A soft smile rose on the girl's face. "I don't think so!"

As she spoke, she took two special white pieces from her piece box. One featured an eye pattern, and the other featured a butterfly pattern.

With these two pieces entering the game, the situation on the board was reversed almost instantly. The white pieces pressed forward aggressively, their momentum like a tiger devouring ten thousand miles.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and immediately placed two pieces of his own. One black piece displayed a lotus pattern, and the other emitted a shining, pearly light, beginning to contend with the girl's two special white pieces.

However, the moment the four pieces collided, the two black pieces were clearly at a disadvantage, but they did not fall quickly; instead, they circled and engaged with the white pieces.

Lin Feng naturally understood this; it was merely his piece-exchange tactic. Once his strong piece swallowed the pieces beneath the white ones, he could turn his focus and take both white pieces in one fell swoop.

However, how could the girl not know his intentions? She immediately raised another piece—a white piece belonging to the Sun Moon Empire, with a silver moon pattern on its body.

Her eyebrows curved, and she wore a bright smile. "Be careful, I'm about to start my attack!"

After saying this, she tapped her finger down.

The dark green piece Lin Feng held immediately encountered an obstacle. His strong piece was blocked, and the other battlefield suffered frequent setbacks, immediately putting him in an unfavorable position.

"A mere silver moon is not enough to send me back empty-handed!"

Lin Feng sneered and picked up an identical silver moon black piece from his piece box, placing it down in front of the white piece.

The smile on the girl's face froze instantly, and a somber look appeared on her face.

Indeed, as Lin Feng placed that piece, the two black pieces formed a pincer formation, surrounding the silver moon white piece and refining it instantly.

This white piece had been plundered from the girl's piece box earlier—using her own methods against her!

The next moment, Lin Feng commanded the dark green and silver moon black pieces, leading his forces to launch an attack on the girl's two special white pieces.

The white pieces were no match and could only retreat repeatedly. Fortunately, the two special white pieces were quite powerful, and even so, their light remained brilliant.

The girl's expression showed no panic at all. She looked at Lin Feng with a gaze as calm as water, always wearing a bright smile.

Lin Feng's heart sank slightly; he did not know how many more trump cards the other party had yet to reveal...

"You have no pieces left to use. The current situation is a dead end; admit defeat!"

Lin Feng looked at the situation on the board, a rare look of relaxation appearing in his eyes. He stared fixedly at the girl; now, most of the territory was in his hands.

He wanted to see how the other party would respond.

There was a faint, girlish blush on the girl's cheeks, and her eyes held a hint of playfulness and teasing. Her voice was dreamy, carrying a touch of spring-like clarity:

"Little friend, what exactly are you expecting?"

Suddenly, the girl's scallion-white finger shot up, and a white piece flashing with a deep blue trident suddenly appeared on her fingertip.

With one tap, the entire board was emptied!

Lin Feng's body jolted violently. He muttered a curse, and his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What the f—"

He was so angry that he jumped up from the Star Pavilion, pointing a trembling finger at the girl. "Is this how you play? You're cheating!"

The girl showed no Life Qi; instead, she smiled, resting her chin in her hands with a lazy, relaxed posture. She said softly, "Do the rules say you aren't allowed to cheat? Oh, I'm sorry, I made the rules!"

"Fine, since that's how it is, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and sat back down. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them after a long while, his gaze was filled with indifference.

The next moment, he suddenly extended his finger, yet there was nothing on it. Even the black pieces in the box had been cleared away in that instant.

The girl's eyes narrowed, and a rare look of seriousness appeared on her face.

Lightning suddenly flashed on his fingertip, gradually forming a piece. This black piece looked unremarkable, resembling an ordinary stone.

But the aura contained within it was unmistakably that of Lin Feng himself.

Since there were no pieces to use, he would enter the game with his own body and win by half a piece against heaven!

As Lin Feng tapped his finger down, the chessboard suddenly erupted with bursts of brilliant lightning. Originally, with his strength, he would not have been able to contend with the white pieces.

But behind him, it was as if the shadows of other black pieces were hidden, providing assistance.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the chessboard shattered, and the two pieces on it vanished without a trace!
