383: Chess board

“Hmm?”

“Xiao Fan, that guy seems to have noticed us.”

Duan Wushuang said with some surprise.

“No way, he is only a Level 16 Advanced Martial Artist. His Mental Energy, at its peak, would only be Level 19.9, and there’s also the Skysoaring suppression. At such a long distance, his Mental Energy shouldn’t be able to perceive us, right?”

“Could it be that this Earthly Fiend has some kind of perception-type treasure on him?”

Xiao Fan also asked, puzzled.

Sky Soaring Warriors have an all-encompassing class suppression over Martial Artists. The fact that the opponent could detect them from such a distance usually only has two reasons.

One is having a perception-type treasure on them; the second is unique eyesight.

If it were the second, then the creature’s eye structure should be very special. Although Chen Du was wearing a clown mask, it didn't cover his eyes.

Xiao Fan remembered very clearly that the opponent’s eyes were nothing special; they were quite normal.

So, the answer could only be the first.

“Is that so?”

“That’s for the best!”

“It seems that the value of this Earthly Fiend might be even greater than you said. We’ve hit the jackpot!”

Xiao Fan nodded.

Duan Wushuang was not his subordinate. Strictly speaking, Duan Wushuang’s direct superior was his father, Xiao Huo.

Duan Wushuang was one of the Dire Wolf Civilization’s Knight Order leaders.

His relationship with Xiao Fan was decent; ‘decent’ here didn't mean very good, just to the extent that they wouldn't betray each other.

Xiao Fan calling him this time was also a last resort. All Sky Soaring Warriors of the Dire Wolf Civilization only obeyed his father’s orders.

The strongest expert he could deploy was a Level 19 Advanced Martial Artist like Tong Yi.

But this Fiend was too strong; a Level 19 Martial Artist was no match. In desperation, he could only seek help from a Sky Soaring Warrior.

Xiao Fan believed that no matter how strong Chen Du was, it was impossible for him to defeat a Sky Soaring Warrior!

Although the price was that Duan Wushuang would take half of the value of what was on Chen Du, it was better than letting Chen Du escape just like that.

Xiao Fan was currently holding a transparent bead with two small dots on it: a red dot representing himself, and the other a blue dot.

At this moment, he and Duan Wushuang were heading in the direction of the blue dot.

After a short while, the two appeared before Chen Du.

As soon as he landed, Duan Wushuang let out a puzzled sound:

“Level 17?”

“Didn’t you say he was only Level 16?”

Xiao Fan also looked surprised at this. After returning, he immediately went to find Duan Wushuang and used his 'Divine Sea Stabilizing Pearl' to track him.

If Duan Wushuang hadn't been delayed for three days, they would have caught up with Chen Du long ago.

Now, only a little over four days had passed since their last meeting, yet the opponent had actually advanced by 1 Level in such a short time?

This speed was clearly abnormal.

Xiao Fan quickly realized something, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes:

“Treasure!”

“This Fiend must have a great treasure on him!”

Duan Wushuang also thought of this point, greedily licked his lips, and his expression became even more ferocious:

“I thought so too, but Level 16 and Level 17 make no difference in my eyes. It seems we’re going to make a fortune today!”

Chen Du narrowed his eyes, sizing up the two in front of him. He hadn't expected that after he let Xiao Fan go, the other party would turn around and call a Sky Soaring Warrior to deal with him.

Judging from the transparent bead in the opponent's hand, it should have located the water aversion pearl.

The water aversion pearl had been in the Storage Ring for several days, and the opponent could still locate it. It seemed that the opponent's transparent bead could, to a certain extent, ignore space.

The Storage Ring was an independent space, possessing a certain degree of tracking-shielding ability.

However, it was, after all, used for storing goods, and its shielding ability was Elementary. Being found was not entirely unexpected.

Chen Du glanced at Xiao Fan. He didn't regret letting the other party go before, but that didn't stop him from deciding to kill Xiao Fan now!

He would absolutely not let the same alien race go twice.

Whoosh!

Without a word, Chen Du directly activated the ability of his First Secret Realm.

Hand of God!

Chen Du’s position instantly swapped to behind Xiao Fan, and in the process, he took out the ying long sword from his Storage Ring.

Since the opponent brought a Sky Soaring Warrior, the purpose was clear: to kill and seize treasures.

Although Xiao Fan’s combat power had no impact on Chen Du, it was still best to kill him first, to avoid him using some strange abilities later.

Chen Du swung his long sword at Xiao Fan’s neck, attempting a fatal blow.

“Clang!”

Chen Du’s expression changed slightly. His strike didn’t hit Xiao Fan but was blocked by a thick arm.

The long sword made a metallic clang upon contact.

The owner of the arm was self-evident: naturally, the Sky Soaring Warrior.

“What powerful strength!”

“Your strength is even greater than that of a Level 19.9 Martial Artist!”

Duan Wushuang exclaimed in surprise after taking Chen Du’s sword strike head-on.

Although Xiao Fan had told him beforehand that this Earthly Fiend was very powerful, even possessing a Second-order Martial Skill, Duan Wushuang didn't care.

No matter how powerful, how fiendish, how Heaven-Defying the opponent was, he was only Level 16. Even if he found out the opponent was Level 17 upon meeting, it made no difference.

His power was only directed at Xiao Fan, not himself!

But the power of that sword strike just now truly astonished him.

He had never seen an Advanced Martial Artist who could unleash such power.

At this moment, the slow-witted Xiao Fan finally reacted, not expecting Chen Du to act so decisively!

He should know that it was he who had let him go before, yet now he was trying to kill him without any hesitation.

And… “Eight Secret Chambers!”

After blocking Chen Du’s sword, Duan Wushuang immediately pulled Xiao Fan away.

He didn't notice it at first, but after they pulled away, both of them discovered that Chen Du’s star plate actually had eight Mystic Treasures!

“No wonder your strength is so powerful!”

Xiao Fan was also extremely shocked after seeing the star plate above Chen Du’s head.

No wonder the Level 19 Tong Yi, when facing this person, was like a baby against a giant, completely helpless.

He had never understood why a Level 16 could beat a Level 19 so badly, and that too without even using Mystic Treasure abilities.

Now Xiao Fan understood. It was because of the power amplification of the Eight Secret Chambers!

The reason he hadn't thought of it was because he had never seen, nor even heard of anyone in the entire Nether Land possessing Eight Secret Chambers!

This led him to never consider this possibility, always believing that the opponent had some special treasure.

“I never thought that I, Duan Wushuang, would have the chance to kill a super Genius with Eight Secret Chambers. Just thinking about it makes me excited!”

“You must be a top-tier super Genius on the Surface as well…”

Duan Wushuang said excitedly, looking at Chen Du, who was holding a long sword. The moment the word 'too' left his mouth, he quickly extended his right hand and made a Void Realm grab at Chen Du.

Immediately, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, encompassing Chen Du and Duan Wushuang.

“This is…”

Chen Du looked around. A chessboard inexplicably appeared beneath his feet, and above was an opaque, light blue barrier. From the outside, it looked like a thin blue light barrier, currently undulating like waves.

Chen Du could feel that he couldn't get out. The Hand of God’s repositioning also didn't work; he couldn't see the outside location at all.

Moreover, even if he could see it, Chen Du felt he wouldn't be able to swap out. There seemed to be some rule here prohibiting exit.

“This is the ability I chose after advancing to Sky Soaring Warrior. I chose ‘Body,’ and it’s called ‘Chessboard of Pieces’.”

Duan Wushuang, standing directly in front of Chen Du, said.

“I can pull any life with Life Strength less than or equal to mine into this chessboard for a 1v1 with me.”

“Furthermore, there is only one way to get out of here.”

“That is for either party to die!”
