The youth in grey couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Initiating with Tian Yuan was a foolish move characteristic of Xiaobai, who had no idea about chess. This game, he was surely going to win. Moreover, enticing his opponent to play was not simply about the chess itself. The blood-red dividing lines on the entire chessboard had transformed from the tentacles of the Heart of the Blood Demon. Once the opponent entered the game, they would be like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape.
But it was at that moment.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed through the void, followed by a complete cessation of all noise within the commotion of spinning skies and lands.
The blood-colored chessboard within the cave dwelling vanished without a trace in an instant, sucked into the small broken bowl.
Meng Qi stepped forward, picked up the bowl, casually extinguished the lamps on this level, and continued forward.
