n

nYun Tian looked at Li Yuanqing coldly.

n

n“Don’t you understand? What’s the use of attacking my puppets like this? The first time, you used your turtle shell array to save their lives, but what can you use to save them this time?”

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck below.

n

nOn the chessboard, Chai Ming and Li Jing, the King and the Queen of the chessboard, stood up. The two of them raised the scepter in their hands high above their heads and faced the sky like some kind of sacrificial ritual.

n

nLiu Wen looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and kept grinding his hands in his arms, as if he was not sure if it was time to take out this thing.

n

n“Liu Wen, it seems like they plan to end this now. Be careful. If anything goes wrong, you must protect yourself with all your might!”

n

nOnce this chessboard array formation was formed, none of them could move it without permission. They could only move it when the time was set.

n

nLiu Wen stood at the front. If the other party wanted to attack, Liu Wen could only bear the brunt.

n

nNow, it seemed that the other party was too powerful. Although they had the support of their master’s array formation, they were still at a disadvantage.

n

nThe two of them had attacked together, he wondered what move they would use this time.

n

nAfter Chai Ming and Li Jing placed the scepter above their heads for a while, the sky behind them suddenly brightened.

n

nA huge phantom slowly took shape behind the two of them. This phantom was only a rough outline. There seemed to be no hair on its huge head. It was a bald head. There were two holes in the head that emitted two very strong lights. That was where his eyes were.

n

nUnder this huge head was a muscular upper body.

n

nThis huge phantom only had the upper half of its body. From the waist down, it could not be seen. Its waist was stuck on the chessboard, and it held a huge hammer in its right hand and raised it high.

n

nHe held a wide shield in his left hand and stuck it at the edge of the river.

n

nYun Tian looked at Li Yuanqing proudly and said, “Although I can’t use much power in the lower realm, this statue has the laws of the Immortal World. The laws of the Immortal World in the lower realm are existences that can destroy everything. If you want to live, you can admit defeat to me now.”

n

nHe seemed to feel that victory was in his grasp. There was no reason for him to lose since he could summon the power of law here.

n

nAlthough Li Yuanqing seemed to have some strength and many schemes, that was all. This kid had caught him off guard and was lucky enough to escape just now.

n

nYun Tian’s eyes kept landing on Li Yuanqing. He thought that Li Yuanqing would choose to surrender in consideration of the lives of his three disciples, but he did not expect Li Yuanqing to ignore him.

n

nInstead, he stood there with his eyes closed. It was unknown what he was doing, but he seemed to have resigned himself to fate.

n

nYun Tian’s face darkened and he said in a dark voice, “If you’re so insensible, don’t blame me for being rude!”

n

nAfter he finished speaking, he suddenly stepped heavily on the clouds below. The clouds surged and released countless purple lightning that gathered beside the statue. These purple lightning spots condensed on the shoulder of the statue and turned into a ribbon woven from lightning.

n

n“Kill them all!”

n

nYun Tian gave his last order in an extremely cold voice.

n

nAlthough the people of the Immortal World were not interested in killing people in the lower realm, these people had barged in and were so arrogant. They did not take him seriously.Then they could not blame him.

n

nWith his order, the statue began to move. It raised the hammer in its right hand high and smashed it heavily at the other party’s chessboard.

n

nJust as the hammer was about to fall, “Now!”

n

nA voice suddenly sounded in Liu Wen’s ear.

n

nWhen Liu Wen heard this, he threw out the thing in his arms without hesitation.

n

nA small black square platform suddenly jumped into the air and expanded in the wind, covering the entire chessboard.

n

nThe statue looked at the black altar that suddenly appeared above its head and was slightly stunned.

n

nCountless black threads suddenly shot out from the altar and wrapped around the statue, pulling it forcefully.

n

nThe statue kept resisting. Its thick arms were still tearing left and right, but not only were the black threads on its body not pulled apart, but they even wrapped tighter.

n

nAfter completely imprisoning the statue, a strong suction force came from the altar and tore the statue towards the altar.

n

n“What’s this?”

n

nYun Tian was shocked when he saw this scene. He did not expect Li Yuanqing to have such a method. He actually took out such a Dharma treasure that he had never seen before.

n

nBefore he could stop, the suction of the altar had already increased countless times, tearing the resisting statue into the altar.

n

nThe moment the statue disappeared, the fortress opposite the river could not hold on anymore.

n

nEverything collapsed and returned to the clearly defined chessboard. Chai Ming and Li Jing landed on the chessboard with their eyes closed, looking like they had fainted.

n

nYun Tian was still in shock. Before he could react, he had lost.

n

nLi Yuanqing stretched out a hand and begged Yun Tian. “Give it to me.”

n

nOnly then did Yun Tian react. He looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief.

n

nThe overwhelming black altar had already disappeared.

n

n“What Dharma treasure is that? You’re cheating!”

n

nLi Yuanqing pointed at the small array flag on the chessboard that was already a little dim and said, “If you want to cheat, I’m afraid you’re the one who cheated, right? You were the one who used the Dharma treasure first.”

n

n“Nonsense. My array flags are all Dharma treasures. It’s just that you don’t have any Dharma treasures in your hands, so you can’t use them. How can you blame me?”

n

n“In that case, we don’t seem to have any rules. How can you say that I’m cheating?”

n

nLi Yuanqing looked at him provocatively.

n

nYun Tian gritted her teeth and looked at Li Yuanqing. “What a glib-tongued kid!”

n

n“I’m glib-tongued? If you didn’t want to secretly take advantage of me and think that victory was in your grasp, how could you have taken the bait so obediently?”

n

n“You!”

n

nYun Tian was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he could not find any reason to refute. He saw that the array flags used by Li Yuanqing were the most ordinary Dharma artifacts. There was not even a decent Dharma treasure.

n

nThat was why he felt that he would definitely be able to win this battle. Who knew that Li Yuanqing would actually take out such a Dharma treasure and throw it to those brats? Now, he had directly thrown it out and kept his statue.

n

nAfter thinking about it, he realized that he had the mentality of being lucky, which was why the other party took advantage of him.

n

nYun Tian’s face twitched a few times. He had actually suffered such a huge loss, but he could not go back on his word. After all, this guy had already said that he was from the Qianji Sect. If this kid complained to the sect when he returned, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

n

n“Alright!” Yun Tian gritted her teeth and looked at Li Yuanqing. “Kid, I’ve fallen into your hands today. However, I think you’re quite an interesting person. I think we should have many more chances to fight in the future. I hope we can have a fair competition then!”

n

nLi Yuanqing did not care much about this. He was more concerned about the bet between them.

n

n“Since you’ve already admitted defeat, obediently take it out.”

n

n“Fine, I don’t lack these small Dharma treasures.”

n

nAs Yun Tian spoke, he casually took out three array flags of different colors and threw them to Li Yuanqing.

n

nLi Yuanqing held the three array flags in his hand. These three array flags were not the main array flags. They were all small array flags. However, this was a real Dharma treasure.

n

nThe biggest difference between Dharma treasures and Dharma artifacts was that they had more spirituality.

n

nA good Dharma treasure was very beneficial to an array formation, even if it was only one part. If it was a truly powerful person, they should have a complete set of such battle flag Dharma treasures. Only then would they be considered a unique existence.

n

nIn terms of individual strength, such a relatively scattered individual was even stronger than a complete individual. However, the upper limit was also like this.

n

nLi Yuanqing put away the three small flags in satisfaction. When he looked up again, Yun Tian was staring at his face carefully.

n

n“Kid, I’ve already remembered your face. I’ll look for you at the Qianji Sect! Just you wait!”

n

nAfter saying that, Yun Tian suddenly jumped up. After the space above his head distorted, everything in the sky returned to calm. He suddenly disappeared.

n

nThe sky had cleared, too, and it was overcast. The sun was out again, spilling its light over the chessboard.

n

nLiu Wen squatted beside Chai Ming and looked at the two of them. Although they had muddled through and did not look too good, their breathing was still normal. Although the spiritual energy circulation in their bodies was very weak, it was still ongoing.

n

n“I don’t think it’s anything serious.”

n

n“They look like they’re fine.”

n

n“But there are only the three of us left on the chessboard. How will the champion of the array formation competition be calculated?”

n

nYang Tianqi suddenly thought of this question and looked at the squatting Liu Wen strangely.

n

nLiu Wen’s expression froze. He slowly stood up and walked out without looking back.

n

n“Liu Wen, what are you doing?”

n

n“The two of you are a team. It’s more worth it than me to be the champion of the Array Master Competition.”

n

n“What do you mean?”

n

n“Nothing. In any case, I can’t defeat the two of you. The champion will definitely be the two of you. Consider it a gift from me.”

n

nLiu Wen was about to walk down the chessboard when Yang Tianqi suddenly descended from the sky and blocked his way.

n

n“You can’t leave!”

n

nLiu Wen looked at Yang Tianqi teasingly and said, “Why? Can you control whether I leave or not?”

n

nYang Tianqi’s expression was solemn as he looked at Liu Wen coldly. “You’ll disappoint Master!”

n

n“Me? Master thinks so highly of the two of you. There’s nothing to be disappointed in me, right?”

n

n“Who said so?” Yang Tianqi stared straight into Liu Wen’s eyes and said, “The choice of master has long been made. He handed the square platform to you, which means that he has chosen you. You are the champion this time.”

n

n“What nonsense are you talking about? Master only instructed me to throw the altar out. This doesn’t mean anything.”

n

nJust as the two of them were arguing, the scene before their eyes suddenly flashed. The chessboard under their feet disappeared, turning into a beautiful mystic realm.

n

nThis was Li Yuanqing’s domain space.

n

nThe citizens of Ping City were watching from the square outside. They were originally watching the birth of the champion of the Array Master Competition, wondering who it was. However, they did not expect that there would be something that surprised them even more. The three of them had disappeared, and there was no one on the chessboard.

n

n“What does that mean? Then who’s the champion this time?”

n

n“Where did everyone go? What happened?”

n

n“Is the Array Master Competition still going to continue? What about the champion now? And the champion prize?”

n

nThey were all stunned. The shocking battle just now had already made them feel satisfied. Now that it suddenly stopped, they were at a loss.

n

nAt this moment, Little Man suddenly appeared on the chessboard.

n

n“The winner of this array master competition will be the chief array master of Ping City and participate in the City Lord Invitation Conference tomorrow. At that time, I will hand over the entire city protection array of Ping City to him.”

n

n“What?”

n

n“The State Preceptor is going to hand over the Great City Protection Formation?”

n

n“How can that be?”

n

nThe entire Ping City was shocked. They never expected that such a situation would happen in this originally lively array master competition.

n

nThe State Preceptor who they believed in was suddenly going to hand over the control of the Great City Protection Formation. Wouldn’t this champion be their future State Preceptor?

n

n“Thank you very much for all the array masters who came to participate in the competition. Every array master who comes to participate will receive a special gift prepared by the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. The prize will be sent directly to your cave abodes. There will be a lively event in the next few days. Please enjoy it!”

n

nAfter Little Man finished speaking, the huge light curtain slowly rose into the sky. It was like a huge balloon that kept expanding. Finally, it exploded with a bang and turned into a sky full of light that floated down.

n

n“Wow!”

n

nThe news that the State Preceptor of Ping City was about to be replaced quickly spread throughout the entire continent.

n

nAs the State Preceptor of Ping City, Little Man was now the most representative array master on the entire continent. They did not expect that this master would one day leave. This made many array masters rush over to Ping City.

n

nMany of them who were focused on cultivation chose to come out of seclusion because of this news to witness the handover of this legend.

n

nPing City welcomed another banquet. That night, everyone was discussing the next State Preceptor.

n

nCould it be one of the three children?
