In the Chessboard World, the disappearance of all doors was only the beginning.
Yue Yang immediately discovered that the place where he stood was undergoing strange changes as well. It was as though he had fallen into a well, surrounded by transparent spatial barriers. Yue Yang could see the enemy closing in, yet trapped as he was, he could not make any effective evasive move.
Because apart from above his head,
there was no exit left.
Unable to move freely, Yue Yang could only watch helplessly as the enemy attacked. Under Dongfang's innate ability and the suppression of the Law of Will, the Chessboard World was even more terrifying than a real chessboard. Yue Yang had now been restricted into a chess piece bound tightly by rules, like the king in Chinese chess—no matter how he moved, he could never leave the nine-palace grid...
Yet the enemy was not bound by this rule. Whether it was Chang Wei, Tu Shi, or Unfallen Supreme, they could easily pass through any obstacle as if all barriers did not exist. On the contrary, they even seemed to receive a subtle boost in speed.
"Ah..."
Pugui, who had been standing quietly behind Yue Yang like a cat, was trapped as well. Furious, she struck at her surroundings.
She hoped to break through the obstacles with her own power and come to her master's rescue. But it was all in vain. No matter how much force she used, her attacks vanished into the transparent barrier like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without the slightest response. Worse still, the more she struggled, the smaller the space she could move in became. In the end, she did not even have room to stretch out her limbs, wrapped inside the spatial barrier like a rice dumpling...
