Killing God - Chapter 236
Chapter 236 Past Events
In the dim light, the strange skeleton sat down three feet in front of the old man. He then casually grabbed the ground with his bone arm, Shen Shi only felt the ground beneath his feet tremble. A low and muffled sound rang out. As the bone arm rose, a square stone platform suddenly rose from the ground. A few wisps of smoke and dust immediately floated in the air. After the dust settled down, Shen Shi saw that the two-foot square stone platform was crisscrossed with black and white chess pieces. The two sides were inextricably locked in a fight.
On the left and right sides of the chessboard, there was a roughly sunken stone nest. It seemed to be the place where the chess pieces were placed. However, most of the chess pieces had already been placed on the chessboard. There were very few black and white chess pieces in the two stone nests.
The skeleton glanced at the chess game and opened its jaw slightly. Although it didn’t have any flesh and blood, it could still feel a joyful mood. He chuckled and said, “It’s my turn to play, right?”
The old man, who was leaning against the dragon’s body, looked at it silently and did not say anything.
The skeleton wasn’t angry, Looks like you’re in a good mood, Although his face was a little ferocious, But he saw it reach into the stone nest on his right, There were white chess pieces placed there, Bai Sen’s joints bent. Very quickly, he picked up a piece of white chess. He held it in his hand but did not immediately put it down. Instead, he stared at it for a moment. Suddenly, he sighed faintly and said, “A thousand years has passed. This game has been played for a long time. However” He raised his eyes to look at the old man and said, “I have seen through the chess game. If this piece falls, I will definitely win.” “Old Dragon, Old Dragon, are you afraid?”
The old man, who was called the “old dragon” by him, had no strange expression in his dim gaze. It was as if his pair of eyes had already seen all the vicissitudes of life in the world, and there was nothing worth it to change its expression.
Seeing that the old man didn’t seem to have any reaction, the skeleton’s eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule. Then, it raised its arm and was about to land on the chessboard. However, at this moment, the silent old man suddenly said,
“Is this the last time you’ve thought about it?”
The skeleton paused for a moment and then laughed. The gentle and pleasant voice of the woman carried a hint of memories as she said, “Looks like you’re really old and foolish. Have you forgotten everything?” I’ve been thinking about this child for 1033 years now. Although it’s not short, it’s not the longest time I’ve thought about it. I remember very clearly. The longest time it took to land a piece was 5,177 years, and the shortest time was 68 years. Isn’t this the only way the two of us relied on to relieve our boredom in this Soul Suppressing Abyss? ”
“But in the end, I still want to win.” After saying that, the skeleton added with a smile. Seeing it repeat this sentence repeatedly, it seemed that it really valued the outcome of this game of chess.
The old dragon didn’t show any surprise at the outcome of the chess game. He just looked at the skeleton that seemed to be a little small. After a while, he suddenly said indifferently, “You remember every time you landed. It seems that you must have been suffocating for so many years.”
“Boom!” Suddenly, a low and muffled sound came from the skeleton. Shen Shi was shocked. From what he had just sensed, the old man and this strange skeleton were definitely not ordinary people. They were probably powerful figures that he could not compare to. Therefore, he had always stood in the distance and peeped at them honestly. However, this muffled sound was somewhat sudden. However, when he turned around, he did not notice anything strange. Just as he was wondering, Shen Shi suddenly discovered that the skeleton that was somewhat skinny seemed to have looked over and was slightly shorter.
Shen Shi was shocked. He looked carefully for a moment, and then he suddenly saw that on the ground where the skeleton was sitting, the several foot square hard rock surface suddenly shattered, and it neatly sank down a few inches.
The two balls of ghost fire slowly burned in the skeleton’s eyes. From the looks of it, it seemed to have gone silent. However, the relaxed and happy emotions from before had already disappeared from the strange skeleton. It seemed that the old man’s casual words had just pierced into the pain of the skeleton.
It was as if a camouflage scar had been ruthlessly ripped open, revealing the bloody wounds inside.
The skeleton suddenly laughed coldly.
It looked at the old man with a fixed gaze. After laughing, it suddenly said, “What about you? So what?”
The wrinkles on the old man’s face remained motionless.
In the lonely cave, there seemed to be a sudden silence. All sounds suddenly disappeared. Only the voice of the skeleton with a strong sense of ridicule echoed in the darkness.
“What’s the name of this place again? ‘Soul Suppressing Abyss’, isn’t it? What a domineering name. You dragged me here forcefully back then, wanting to exterminate me here, so you chose this name, right?” Its white joints gently played with the white chess piece and said indifferently, “But now, who still remembers me? However, some people in the world who know about this place think that this place is suppressing a Yin Dragon.”
The Yin Dragon was indeed a Yin Dragon!
Shen Shi’s heart stirred when he heard this. He finally confirmed his earlier guess. However, what kind of identity was this skeleton that had suddenly appeared? Not only could it face off against the Primordial Yin Dragon, it even faintly gained the upper hand.
The skeleton stared at the chess piece in its hand, its eyes filled with mockery. “Good, you Xiaoyao Dragon Clan, you don’t do it, you insist on going against me, doing this thankless thing, why are you doing it?” Oh, I remember now. Is it the ‘God’s Legacy’? Just those few pieces of paper, you spent millions of years with me? “Haha, the most ridiculous thing is, with your ancient dragon’s strength, you were indeed able to suppress me, but why did you end up in such a field now?”
“Because you want to protect the divine descendants, those descendants of the Pangu Giant God bloodline, right?”
“You said that I remember it clearly. Haha, of course I remember it. I remember the scene when those divine descendants rushed into Soul Suppressing Abyss. I remember every single bit of it clearly.”
The skeleton let out a long, carefree laugh that was filled with malicious pleasure.
‘”Have you forgotten yourself? I shouldn’t have forgotten. That day, I lingered in the depths of the Bone Sea and watched as half of your dragon strength was expended on me. Then, I was suddenly surrounded by the Divine Race that you wanted to protect. I still remember the horrified and painful look in your eyes.”
“Those divine descendants are indeed worthy of their divine bloodline. Although they are not comparable to the two of us at our peak, they are more than enough to deal with you at that time,” the white chess pieces silently turned into ashes at its fingertips. I watched them cut off your claws, cut off your dragon body, and finally dug out your eyes! ”
“They even set up a God Race restriction to lock you up tightly. You will never be able to turn over. Thus, over the years, I have slowly absorbed the Earth Fiend’s power to recover my cultivation. However, you have only been weakening until you run out of oil and light.”
“At that time, I was really too happy. I was laughing in the sea of bones until my entire body trembled. For so many years, every time I thought of this, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.”
“Hahahaha …”
The skeleton smiled and laughed loudly. If it wasn’t for the ghost fire in its eyes, it might even cry. Then, it laughed loudly and looked at the old man. Its hand held onto its expectation, and its body slightly leaned forward. Hehe smiled and said, “How do you feel, Old Dragon?”
“Do you feel very sad and indignant? Do you feel very sad? Are you depressed to the point of going crazy?”
④
Was the Soul Suppressing Abyss suppressing the Primordial Yin Dragon, or was it that mysterious and unfathomable ancient ghost that spat out human words?
The happy laughter of the skeleton still echoed in the cave. It was far, far away in the darkness. However, the old man’s expression remained unchanged. Only the gaze in his cloudy eyes seemed to dim even more.
Then, he looked up with some difficulty and looked at the skeleton on a stone chessboard in front of him. With an old but calm voice, he said indifferently, “Do you think you won?”
The skeleton slowly stopped laughing and looked at him. The ghost fire in its eyes slowly burned and said gently, “Isn’t that so?”
It stretched out its bone arm again, took out one of the few white pieces left in the stone nest, and said, “In this game of chess, you took the lead in black, but in the end, it was still me who attacked after white, wasn’t it?”
“Pa!” The skeleton didn’t seem to hesitate any longer. This white piece accurately and decisively slapped into the chess game.
In the darkness, there was a long howl, and the endless sea of bones in the distance was filled with dense white bones.
Above the lonely peak, the black crystal radiance was flourishing. The gap between them widened once more and gradually opened. From the pillar of light hanging in the sky, it was obvious that it was somewhat powerless. It was precisely the appearance of retreating step by step. The Hou couple were overjoyed. Seeing the scarlet egg gradually reveal its true form in front of them, greed appeared in their eyes once again.
At the Soul Suppressing Abyss, the old dragon did not look closely at the new move of the skeleton. Instead, he looked indifferently at the raging flames in its eyes. Suddenly, he said, “You should know that even if you leave this place, it is different from the past. There is no Underworld Fiend in this world, and you will never be able to return to your original state.” As he spoke, he sighed bitterly and shook his head. “Perhaps this was the only thing that those idiots did right back then. Even though they thought that the Underworld Fiend was the source of my dragon power, that’s why they took it away and destroyed it.”
The skeleton’s body paused for a moment. It seemed that it valued this so-called “Underworld Fiend” for some unknown reason. Its tone immediately carried a hint of anger. It scolded softly and then said coldly, “Cut the crap. Quickly drop the piece. Anyway, you are sure to lose. After the last few moves, you can go to hell.”
After a moment of silence, the old man suddenly said, “I don’t want to die, okay?”
The skeleton was stunned for a moment. It didn’t seem to have expected the old man in front of him to say this. It didn’t seem to react at all. A moment later, it was stunned. “What did you just say?”
The old man shook his head and said, “I don’t want to die yet.”
The skeleton sneered and said, “Do you think you can let it go now?”
The old man said indifferently, “If I don’t lose, this game of chess won’t be over. If the chess game isn’t over, we can’t kill each other. Don’t forget, this rule was set by you back then.”
The skeleton was furious. He pointed at the old man and shouted, “The overall situation of this game has been decided. The outcome has been decided. Luckily, you are still an ancient dragon. What is the meaning of this?”
The wrinkles on the old man’s face seemed to have deepened. He could see that his strength was gradually weakening as he sat down steadily. However, although his eyes were cloudy, they were already calm. Then, under the gaze of the furious ghost fire of the skeleton and Shen Shi on the other side, he calmly said,
“I’m going to start cheating!”
