Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 684
Chapter 684 Win In Danger
As Tang Yan had expected, the Zhong Clan had indeed sent out that weiqi genius, Zhong Jinhui. This young man had grown up and was accepted as a disciple by an elder of the Zhong Clan relying on his peerless talent in weiqi.
In the cultivation world, there was a saying that those who were skilled in weiqi would definitely have extraordinary comprehension, so when they were very young, they would test their weiqi skills and test their comprehension abilities.
When he was five years old, Zhong Jinhui was very obsessed with chess. After spending a day and familiarizing himself with thirty-eight chess moves, a year later, almost no one in Fire City could defeat him.
Such a distinguished background made many people present sweat for Ye Feng. Just now, Ye Feng’s zither skills were superb. I wonder how his chess skills are now.
“I will read out the rules now. Who can defeat the opponent will be the winner of this round!”
Some people like to regret playing chess, but today’s rules do not have this rule, as long as the landing.
Both sides nodded and understood the rules. Although Ye Feng had never played chess, he still understood the basic rules.
This was a black and white chess game. Ye Feng was white and Zhong Jinhui was black.
Normally, it was Bai Zi who played chess first. After Bai Zi, according to the rules, Bai Zi usually had a high chance of winning because Bai Zi could easily change his moves and knew Bai Zi’s intentions.
There were a total of 64 squares on the chessboard. If all the chessboards were filled with pieces that could not defeat their opponents, the one with more pieces on the chessboard would be the winner.
These were all common rules that both sides were familiar with.
“Please!”
Zhong Jinhui made a gesture of invitation. His eyes were very calm, and he did not have much hostility towards Ye Feng. In his eyes, he could only defeat his opponent, and did not have any enemies of life or death.
Ye Feng stretched out his hand and took out the first chess piece. He landed at the center of the chessboard, so as to cope with all changes without changing. The test of playing chess was not only a person’s stamina, but also a person’s ability to adapt.
Zhong Jinhui put down a black piece and happened to be close to Ye Feng’s white piece. Judging from the first piece, Zhong Jinhui did not like scheming and wanted to directly defeat Ye Feng with a fierce momentum.
The weiqi board changed. Some people liked to move step by step, while others liked to open and close. Kaizi wanted to kill his opponent.
When the second chess piece landed, Ye Feng was still leaning against the white piece. Ye Feng’s chess piece was neither warm nor hot, and no one could understand it.
Both sides exchanged blows. The chessboard was quickly filled with chess pieces. Both sides had left behind more than twenty chess pieces. The black and white sides had their own advantages. Judging from the chess theory, Zhong Jinhui had an absolute advantage.
“This Zhong Jinhui is not simple! His chess skills have almost reached the peak of perfection. I’m afraid that Ye Feng will not be able to defeat him in this match!”
Someone exclaimed in admiration, deeply attracted by Zhong Jinhui’s chess skills.
“That’s right. He has retreated in the middle, defended in the middle, and attacked in the middle. He has already displayed his chess skills to the peak!”
Another person praised.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on this small game of chess. Many people stretched their necks, wishing they could watch this game closely.
“Ye Feng, you must lose this round. You should take the initiative to admit defeat!”
Zhong Jinhui dropped a black piece with a faint smile on his face. His black piece was now sweeping across the world, surrounding all of Ye Feng’s white pieces. There was practically no possibility of avoiding it.
“Not necessarily. The so-called truth and falseness are the Dao of a Military Scholar!”
Ye Feng did not care. Looking at the white man who was about to be devoured, a faint smile still hung on his face. He did not know where Ye Feng got his confidence.
“You still have to be so stubborn when you die. Since that’s the case, then I’ll eat up all of your whitey and see how you win!”
Zhong Jinhui thought that giving Ye Feng face would make him retreat despite the difficulties. He did not expect that Ye Feng would actually explain the Dao of Militarism to him. This made Zhong Jinhui’s face reveal a warm expression of anger.
Looking at Zhong Jinhui’s extraordinary display, this round of Zhong Clan was very comfortable. One by one, they leisurely drank wine and appreciated Zhong Jinhui’s momentum that swept the world, slowly swallowing up Ye Feng’s chess game.
The Tang Clan’s faces were filled with grief. Ye Feng had finally made a start. After defeating the Zhong Clan in the first round, his weakness was revealed. In terms of chess, the gap was too great.
Seeing that the number of white children was decreasing, Ye Feng still maintained a calm expression. The corners of his mouth always carried a faint smile. No matter what, Ye Feng would always face him with a smile.
“This Ye Feng is still unwilling to give up. He is going to die. Why don’t we just give up and proceed to the next round!”
Some people thought that Ye Feng was wasting time and letting others suppress him, so it was better to admit defeat as soon as possible and lose with face.
“I think he just wants the lazy donkey to turn around and dream of competing with Zhong Jinhui in chess. Isn’t he courting death by himself?”
Zhong Jinhui became famous as a youth, and his chess skills were even more exceptional. He had already taken root in the hearts of the people. In Fire City, almost no one could defeat Zhong Jinhui’s chess skills.
The discussions in the surroundings became more and more loud, more and more hoping that Ye Feng would quickly give up, because Ye Feng had no choice but to retreat, and almost all his paths were sealed off.
“Ye Feng, if you still don’t admit defeat, then I’ll just let you lose!”
Zhong Jinhui suddenly exerted his strength. Blackie was like a tornado, instantly devouring several white pieces of Ye Feng. The entire chessboard was under Blackie’s control, and even Ye Feng’s base camp was about to be thrown away.
Looking at the badly damaged white man, Ye Feng still ignored him and still fell. Every time he fell, Ye Feng’s arm weighed more than 1,000 jin. The person who was currently taking the entrance exam was not a person’s chess skills, but also a person’s temperament.
A game of chess was like a river and mountain. The entire river and mountain had been completely devoured by others. Right now, there was only one territory left. When this territory was occupied by Zhong Jinhui, Ye Feng would lose completely.
However, things were often unexpected. Ye Feng and Baizi suddenly changed the direction of the wind and attacked in the direction of Blackie’s nest. This was a situation of seeking death.
“Stubborn!”
Looking at Ye Feng’s state of mind, Zhong Jinhui thought that Ye Feng was struggling to the death, but he still didn’t give up. Blackie continued to chase after him, and the number of white spots became fewer and fewer.
Facing Blackie’s reluctant pursuit, Ye Feng continued to chase after him. He did not look back. He continued to charge forward. Soon, he broke through a gap and struck straight into the yellow dragon. The remaining white spots actually formed a strange white line that connected the city and surrounded the Blackie on the entire chessboard.
“This …”
Shouts of alarm could be heard from all around. They were stunned by the sudden appearance on the chessboard. How could such a situation occur?
“Miaomiaomiao, losing a white boy in exchange for victory, this Ye Feng really has courage!”
Ye Feng had lost all his troops. In order to obtain the last few chess pieces, the front was all arranged, allowing Zhong Jinhui to attack bit by bit, continuously attracting his opponent. However, a few inconspicuous chess pieces, Ye Feng, remained motionless. So this was the foreshadowing.
The more inconspicuous a chess piece was, the easier it would be for the opponent to ignore it, or even be too lazy to chase after it. Often, this inconspicuous chess piece would deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Ye Feng had lost half of his strength in exchange for a victory. Although he had won miserably, it was still better than losing.
“I’ll die and be reborn. I lost!”
Looking at the uncoordinated black and white pieces on the chessboard, Zhong Jinhui actually admitted defeat. This chess genius actually lowered his head in front of everyone in Fire City and admitted defeat.
“Lucky!”
Ye Feng’s words of luck were not fake, but real luck. If it weren’t for Zhong Jinhui’s carelessness and ignorance of those inconspicuous pieces, Ye Feng would have lost without a doubt.
Also, Zhong Jinhui was too high-profile and did not put Ye Feng in his eyes. That was why he did not pay attention to the overall layout and was given the opportunity to take advantage of Ye Feng.
So the test of weiqi skills is not how good a person’s weiqi skills are, but also his ability to adapt.
‘”What a precious chess game. Using the opponent’s numbness in his heart, step by step, using the opponent’s strength to make him look extremely weak. It is indeed wonderful to give a fatal blow at a critical moment!”
Old Master Guo clapped his hands. He was also convinced by Ye Feng’s chess skills. Although it was a trick, winning was winning. If there was another round, Ye Feng would definitely not be a match for Zhong Jinhui.
The others nodded their heads in succession. Ye Feng’s move was a dangerous move. It was too dangerous. As long as he made a mistake, he would almost make a mistake step by step. In other words, if Zhong Jinhui had discovered Ye Feng’s plot earlier and secretly stopped him, he would not have lost.
However, the Dao of Militarism did not regret it. At the beginning, it was said that Luo Ziwuhuizi had no regrets.
The people from the Tang Clan hadn’t reacted yet. They thought that Ye Feng would lose without a doubt. They had actually turned the tables at the critical moment and set up a chess game with a weak white piece. Blackie had no choice but to lose his base camp.
Although Ye Feng had lost half of his strength, it was definitely worth it to eradicate his opponent’s commander-in-chief camp in exchange for victory.
The Zhong Clan was the most angry. Originally, they thought that they would win this round, but now, they were caught off guard by Ye Feng and lost the second round. This caused the Zhong Clan to fall into a passive position.
Unless they won the last two rounds, the Zhong Clan would have a chance to turn the tables. If they lost one set, the Zhong Clan would probably jump. One set was worth 10 million Essence Pill. Although the Zhong Clan was one of the five great clans, this was Fire City, only a remote small city.
More importantly, there were branches. In Qinli Middle Continent, there were tens of millions of branches of the five great clans, and the inner clans simply couldn’t take care of them. Therefore, many times, each branch had to rely on itself to survive.
“Me too!”
Patriarch Zhong Yang slammed the table and the plates and wine glasses on it flew up.
“Zhong Yang, you don’t have to be angry. There are still two rounds left. You still have a chance to turn the tables!”
Tang Tian had a gloating expression on his face. Now, all the pressure was left to the Zhong Clan. Even if they lost the last two rounds, the Tang Clan would not suffer any losses. Therefore, Tang Tian’s heart was completely relieved.
Tang Yan’s eyes emitted a strange expression as she stared at Ye Feng, seemingly unable to understand the youth in front of her.
“Looks like I underestimated you!”
Ye Feng returned to his seat. Tang Yan took the initiative to speak to Ye Feng. It was no longer the same expression as before. For two consecutive rounds, Ye Feng was surprised. If he defeated his opponent, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to do so.
“Senior apprentice-sister, you’re flattering me. I said it just now, it was all a fluke!”
Ye Feng smiled bitterly. He was still covered in cold sweat. He still underestimated Zhong Jinhui’s chess skills. The reason why Ye Feng defeated his opponent was because of his powerful soul. He analyzed all of his chess games before choosing such a dangerous move.
If he did it again, Ye Feng would definitely not do so, because he knew too much about Zhong Jinhui’s chess skills, it was too terrifying!
After resting for a cup of tea, the third round of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting would soon begin. The third round should be filled with literary talent.
