One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Zhang Tianyi took a step forward, his eyes turning icy cold, his voice filled with undisguised killing intent:

"That idiot Ivan was just trampled underfoot at the banquet. Looks like he hasn't learned his lesson."

"Since you brought so many people here today, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Then you should prepare to line up and report to the King of Hell!"

The voice just fell.

Zhang Tianyi was surrounded by purple-gold lightning, and it looked like he was about to clear the area!

however!

Charlie, facing Zhang Tianyi's intimidation, did not back down.

Instead, he let out a low, cold laugh.

"Master Tian Shu, you are too confident."

Charlie's voice suddenly became extremely loud:

"Now that we've thoroughly investigated your battle record, how could we fight an unprepared battle?!"

"Do it!!!"

With a loud shout from Charlie.

Several members of the Abyss Squad behind him simultaneously pulled out an alchemical array stone that emitted a blinding white light from their pockets!

They slammed the stones hard onto the floor!

He was rapidly chanting ancient incantations!

"Boom!!!"

In an instant!

Around the tavern's main hall, the eight large stone pillars that Wang Ye had previously criticized suddenly erupted with beams of light that shot into the sky!

These beams of light converged in mid-air, instantly forming a huge and extremely complex phantom of a Western chessboard!

It completely enveloped the entire tavern and the surrounding streets!

"What's this?!"

Wang Ye's expression changed drastically; the Qimen Formation was actually forcibly suppressed back into his body by this light!

Charlie stood outside the phantom chessboard, looking at Zhang Tianyi and the others trapped in the center, and let out a triumphant laugh.

"Welcome to our Alchemists' Guild's sacred artifact—the Sage's Chessboard!"

Charlie pointed his heavily armored finger at Zhang Tianyi and declared the rules of the game:

"There are absolute rules in this field that cannot be violated!"

"You, Zhang Tianyi, have been determined to be the strongest fighter, which means—King!"

Charlie's voice was laced with cruelty and smugness:

"And the first rule: The king cannot directly participate in the battle! He must be represented by one of his knights!"

"If you dare to take force..."

Charlie pointed at Zhang Chulan, Chen Duo, Lu Linglong, and others:

"All the damage and law backlash you unleash will be transferred to your minions!"

"The harder you try, the faster they'll die!!!"

Charlie waved his hand.

Outside the tavern, hundreds of madmen from Paradise with bloodshot eyes, and mutated monsters catalyzed by alchemical potions.

Like a tidal wave, it surged in from all directions, completely surrounding the area!

"Now."

Charlie looked coldly at Zhang Tianyi:

"Let's see how long your little lackeys can last under our relentless onslaught!"

Chapter 262 My account got banned? Don't worry, there's still a cheat!

"The king cannot participate in the battle, otherwise all damage will be reflected back to the knight?"

Zhang Tianyi stood in the center of the huge virtual chessboard and looked down at the shimmering patterns under his feet.

His greatest strength is his adventurous spirit.

Since they've described the rules in such an incredible way, we should at least test their effectiveness, right?

So, Zhang Tianyi casually raised his right hand.

A tiny spark was casually created by rubbing his fingertips together.

"Snapped."

Almost at the same moment that the electric spark took shape.

"Holy crap!"

A dozen meters away from him, Zhang Chulan was striking a pose with a watermelon knife in hand.

Suddenly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, it covered its butt and jumped three feet high on the spot.

Zhang Chulan winced in pain and turned around to touch his buttocks.

A small, charred hole was clearly visible in his pants from the electric shock!

"Master! Why did you shock my butt?!" Zhang Chulan was so aggrieved he was almost crying.

Zhang Tianyi looked at his hands, then at Zhang Chulan's buttocks.

He paused for two seconds.

Then a bewildered expression appeared on his handsome face.

"I rely on?"

Zhang Tianyi clenched his fingers and couldn't help but blurt out:

"This foreign gadget is really a bit weird!"

"I, a Daoist master, a top-level character, have actually had my account banned on this wretched island?!"

Upon hearing this...

Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, and the others around them were also shocked and secretly realized something was wrong.

"We were careless and fell into their trap!"

Wang Ye stomped his foot, attempting to activate the Qimen formation.

However, they discovered that the surrounding spatial rules had been completely fixed by this giant sage's chessboard.

"This sacred artifact of Western alchemy follows the path of causality and law! It directly binds Second Master's fate to ours!"

Wang Ye's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he said:

"The moment Second Master uses his true qi, the backlash from Heaven will immediately strike us. If he unleashes a powerful attack, none of us will be left with even ashes!"

Charlie, sitting opposite Zhang Tianyi, looked at him with a helpless expression, his mouth twitching from his mask all the way to his ears.

"Hahaha! Do you understand now? Here, you're just a useless spectator!"

Charlie suddenly waved his hand, his voice filled with cruel pleasure:

"Charge! Chop all these Chinese people into mincemeat!"

With his command.

Those who had been unable to restrain themselves any longer rushed forward like a flood bursting its banks, howling and shouting!

These aren't the street thugs you see outside.

Those who survive on Nathan Island are all ruthless characters who have been through countless battles and used extremely despicable methods!

"Get to work!"

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chulan knew that he had no choice but to fight with all his might today.

He took a deep breath, and the lightning magic within his body surged!

"Thunder!"

A blinding white light enveloped him, and Zhang Chulan's speed surged at that moment.

He was like a bolt of lightning flying close to the ground, plunging headlong into the dark mass of people!

"Anyone who blocks my way dies! Take this watermelon knife technique from your Grandpa Zhang!"

The watermelon knife in Zhang Chulan's hand, amplified by lightning, transformed into an impenetrable net of blades.

"Pfft! Clang! Snap!"

The sounds of clashing weapons and screams mingled together.

Zhang Chulan is as slippery as an eel.

He slashed down a strange man with one stroke, then slid to avoid a fireball falling from above, and then used the back of his blade to knock out a wizard.

"Chu Lan! Stop focusing on running! Watch out for the flanks!"

Not far away, Lu Linglong was also going all out.

This girl may look petite, but she's no pushover when it comes to close-quarters combat in the Quanzhen School.

She punched a mutant in the chin, knocking the 200-pound man off the ground.

Chen Duo stayed close to Lu Linglong.

With a flick of her fingers, deadly lightning energy delivered precise blows, paralyzing the enemies who attempted to ambush her.

The two girls, one attacking and the other supporting, cooperated with surprisingly good teamwork.

On the entire battlefield, the one with the most unique and chilling style was none other than Xiao Zizai.
