So They Were Coming for Me All Along

The champion of the Famous Swords Tournament?

Luo Jun looked to the right front. One vehicle finished the battle, and the other simultaneously revealed its true form. Now there were two Liu Moyean standing there.

In other words, the Scholar's Sword lost to her?

The two soldiers behind her continued to introduce, "What she's holding is last year's champion's prize, the Crimson Flame Sword. Legend has it that when wielded with Yuan Qi, it can unleash flames, making it exceptionally powerful!"

"At last year's tournament, Liu Moyean overwhelmingly defeated all other contestants, including Scholar's Sword; no one could withstand three of her sword strikes! She truly deserves to be the charioteer! Especially her..."

The two of them paused, looked at each other, and exclaimed, "We absolutely cannot let her make the first move!"

"What's going on?" the others asked curiously.

"Liu Moyean's greatest strength isn't her swordsmanship, but her Movement Method. Her Movement Method are as fast as a ghost, and combined with her unstoppable Sword Qi, she defeats her opponents every time! The car's bonus, which increases movement speed by 100%, makes her virtually unstoppable!"

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Liu Moyean with increased wariness.

"It's no use talking to us..." Zong Zhiyong rubbed his bald head. "The person upstairs can't hear us, it's all in vain..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Xingzi had already left.

Cart 9, level 8, eat the car!

Sitting on the base, Duan Feilan, who had just finished warming up, came to Liu Moyean.

"Leave it to me!" This big girl seemed completely unafraid, flexing her biceps to show off to the others before being swept into the Arena.

"Can she handle this...?" Everyone thought this girl was unreliable. Although she was tall and strong, she looked very young and probably wasn't very old. They hadn't heard of any Great Family producing such a genius...

"Let's look at it from another angle," Huai Xu said. "The chariot's bonus is the greatest of all the pieces, and it's a perfect fit for the Martial Combat Faction. Judging from that girl's figure, her physical strength must be excellent. If she has a good foundation in Foundation Establishment energy is strong enough, with the added bonus, even if she can't defeat the opponent, she can at least weaken their condition."

That makes sense; everyone stared nervously at the battle icon...

This time, unlike the buzz-cut guy's quick victory, the two fought for a full seven or eight minutes before the icon started flashing.

The results are coming out soon!

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Finally, the two chess pieces appeared simultaneously, Duan Feilan was nowhere to be seen, and the base was destroyed in one blow...

It still didn't work out in the end... Everyone felt a wave of disappointment.

But at that moment, Liu Moyean suddenly staggered, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and only managed to stay upright by holding onto the railing of the base.

Are you injured?

Everyone looked at her status bar; her energy reserves were still at 48%, and her Health Points was a slightly reddish yellow!

Seriously injured! Even after treatment, the red marks on her skin indicate she was severely injured before, and her vital energy reserves were almost depleted! Although Duan Feilan lost, the "chariot" amplification effect still severely injured Liu Moyean!

There's a chance to fight!

Everyone's confidence soared!

Next up is the Red Side's turn. I wonder what the opponent plans to do...

After several seconds of thought, the Red Side did not move any pieces. A beam of light descended from the sky and landed on Liu Moyean was pressing down to the Bottom Line.

It's Healing Spell!

Healing Spell obtained by sacrificing one action, Healing Spell that can perfectly heal all wounds and restore full vitality!

Seeing that Liu Moyean's vitality had returned to 100% and his health bar had turned emerald green, the confidence that the Black Side had just gained was once again hanging in the balance.

At this moment, in front of Liu Moyean is the Black Elephant, played by Huai Xu. The next step is likely to be a showdown between the two of them!

It's Black Side's turn to move.

Elephant moves from 3 to 5!

After a brief moment of thought, Qi Xingzi moved the right-hand elephant to keep an eye on Huai Xu. If the Red Side chooses to capture the elephant, Huai Xu will be no match, and the other elephant will immediately follow suit and charge forward.

The one playing the role of the elephant Yu Qiudi, who had been fast asleep leaning against the base since the start of the game.

Although Yu Qiudi appears lazy, she obtained the position of Elephant through hard work. Huai Xu is also a highly respected Senior, and normally he wouldn't force his way through this Gauntlet Battle between the two.

If a checkmate is to be attempted, the chariot must retreat a step to try and checkmate from the front. However, the empty space directly in front of the general is being watched by two advisors and Zong Zhiyong's horse.

If Qi Xingzi is clever enough, he can send a clerk forward the moment the red chariot retreats. In this way, if the red chariot wants to checkmate the enemy head-on, it must first deal with a clerk and then deal with Zong Zhiyong's horse. Even if it passes both of these challenges, the veteran general will have room to dodge left and right.

Even if all else fails, Jin Fei's car is resting and ready to go from the side.

In summary, it's best to leave this rook in place and move the other pieces first.

After analyzing the situation, everyone believed that the Red Side would not make any rash moves and turned their attention to the opposite side.

Rook 9 advances to the third!

As expected, the Red Side did not move the front rook, but instead brought out the rear rook that had not moved until it was next to the Black Cannon.

The remaining Black Cannon was a man in his thirties named Chen Yan, with red hair. He introduced himself as coming from the Chen Family of Vermillion Bird Town. Luo Jun guessed that he was probably Chen Ran's cousin or something similar.

However, compared to his younger brother who was still at the Body Refinement Realm, this older brother was far superior. His Fire Control Art was superb, and he successfully obtained the artillery position.

Even with his considerable strength, he felt a little apprehensive facing the renowned Liu Moyean, and couldn't help but glance at the platform shrouded in mist above.

After a brief moment of consideration, Qi Xingzi chose to move his cannon two spaces forward, pushing Chen Yan in front of the opposing horse.

This not only avoided the car but also blocked its leg, essentially suffocating the last remaining horse on the other side.

However, the next move by the Red Side was somewhat puzzling.

Pawn advances one rank from the seventh rank.

Why are you holding off a mere soldier when you should be quickly moving the vehicle behind you?

Qi Xingzi seemed a little puzzled as well. After hesitating for a moment, a beam of white light descended and healed Jin Fei.

Jin Fei was injured after his Counter-kill Storm Strom. Judging from the situation, the opponent is going to launch two vehicles at once, so a fierce battle is inevitable. Let's heal him first.

Just as Jin Fei was slowly recovering, Huai Xu suddenly said, "This is not good."

What's wrong? Everyone looked over and noticed that the Old Man's eyes were fixed on the "night" in front of him.

Yes, after the opposing pawn moved aside, the red chariot that came out later was directly facing the only pawn that had crossed the Crossing the River!

Zong Zhiyong suddenly realized. "Could it be that the target on the other side is Ye?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Fei's healing ended, and the opposing chariot moved to the fifth rank, capturing a pawn!

Seeing the approaching figure in green Qing Yi and a red sword, Luo Jun was terrified...

From the previous move, he sensed that his opponent was targeting him, but to maintain his image, he didn't dare utter a sound. After all, it was pointless to speak; Qi Xingzi, who was actually playing the game, couldn't hear him anyway...

It's too late to think about anything now; all they can do is prepare for battle. As Liu Moyean approached, the two were pulled into the Arena...
