The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Meow~~~"

"Chirp!!!"

The enormous jade-green fox tried to resist, but the ice-blue cat grabbed its two jade-green tails with its two ice-blue paws, and its ice-blue cat tail wrapped around the two jade-green fox tails like a long whip.

Then, the ice-blue cat opened its mouth and bit a jade-green fox tail, while its two ice-blue cat ears closed to lock the jade-green fox tail in place.

Snap!! With the sound of its fleshy tail tearing, its last remaining fox tail was pierced by the ice-blue cat's ice-blue arm spike!

Jade-green blood splattered out suddenly, and a huge rain of green blood fell from the sky.

Boom!! The ice-blue cat, holding a jade-green fox tail in her left hand, raised the massive ice-blue shield on the outside of her arm and slammed it down on the fox's head.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Shang Baba's mouth, staining half of the chessboard red.

Her long orange hair was completely disheveled, making her look like a madwoman, and her body and jade-colored fox tail were all stained with bright red blood.

Blood streamed down his cheeks, soaking into his orange Taoist robe and his right hand, which was playing chess.

Thud... Shang Baba remained expressionless as she slowly placed a black chess piece onto the chessboard.

Looking at the game, White has a slight advantage with the large knight's move at the corner star point, but Black also took advantage of the initiative to seize the upper edge of the board. After more than ten moves, the game is still evenly split between the two sides.

"Stop...or you will die in battle."

Ji Yingting tossed her long, light green hair and said calmly, while the ice-blue cat continued to pound the jade-colored fox's head with its ice-blue giant shield, and the fox gradually stopped struggling.

The fox-like behemoth had slightly unfocused jade-green eyes. It was pinned down by the giant ice-blue cat and could not move. The seven jade-green spears had also transformed back into seven soft jade-green fox tails, which drooped limply to the ground, powerless.

Thud... But Shang Baba's right hand seemed completely undisturbed, and landed on the chessboard once again.

This game of chess was imbued with her determination and her fighting spirit.

This game of chess will continue... until Shang Baba is killed in battle.

"I said you'll die... you'll disappear, don't you understand?"

Seeing the river of blood flowing down Shang Baba's forehead, Ji Yingting closed her strange blue-green eyes with a slight pang of reluctance, and the giant ice-blue cat also stopped what it was doing.

The dark blue sleeves paused in mid-air, and with a soft sigh, Ji Yingting did not place any more white chess pieces.

Red dyed Shang Baba's body. She raised her disheveled red hair, her sitting posture never changing.

What has never changed is the pair of bright orange eyes behind her disheveled long hair that covers her cheeks.

"To die in battle is my destiny..." Shang Baba said calmly, her tone carrying a hint of tranquility.

The seven jade-green fox tails transformed back into seven jade-green spears, but... they no longer had the strength to raise them and attack.

Soon after, the jade-green seven-tailed fox gradually closed its jade-green fox eyes, and the huge ice-blue cat also rolled off its body and silently squatted back down beside Ji Yingting. A huge ice-blue ice shield stood in front of Ji Yingting, protecting her.

"Ji Yingting, what are you doing... Make me disappear, quickly drop that white piece in your hand!" Shang Baba asked, puzzled.

She had already fought with all her might... and the situation where she and Ji Yingting were evenly matched was something Shang Baba was happy to see.

The only thing left is to die in battle. Of course... after dying in battle, her personality will completely disappear from Shang Gongying's body.

That is... death in the true sense of the word.

Seeing Shang Gongying covered in blood, Ji Yingting flicked her icy blue cat tail, and with her two pairs of silver cloth boots, she walked step by step towards Shang Baba on the crimson blood carpet.

Hmm? The orange pupils widened slightly in surprise, and a cute ice-blue cat paw gently rose up.

Ji Yingting knelt on one knee in front of Shang Baba and gently combed her long, messy red hair with her two icy blue cat paws.

Strands of orange hair were neatly arranged by Ji Yingting, revealing her fair face stained with blood. She was still as beautiful and as strong as ever... Her orange eyes were still filled with boundless fighting spirit.

Shang Baba... Even as she was about to die in battle, her orange eyes were filled with the desire to fight; she was a true warrior.

With soft, icy blue cat paws gently stroking Shang Baba's blood-stained face, Ji Yingting whispered tenderly.

"Fool... If you die in battle, you'll never enjoy fighting again, won't you? You'll never enjoy playing chess again, won't you? So... live on, even if it's just as a chess piece."

“Ji Yingting…”

After a few seconds of stunned silence, several tears streamed from Shang Baba's orange eyes, mingling with her blood.

Bathed in sunlight, Ji Yingting gently cupped her beautiful face in her two icy blue cat paws.

"Ji Yingting, thank you..."

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

However... in the next instant, her words finally stopped.

At the same time, Shang Baba's orange pupils suddenly contracted, his red vision instantly turning pitch black. His soul felt as if it had fallen into an abyss, utterly powerless to resist. Wait!! Ninth Sister!! I haven't…

Huh? Ji Yingting was also stunned at the same moment. Shang Baba in front of her disappeared instantly, and the traces of the battle around her also disappeared in an instant.

Appearing around her and the enormous ice-blue cat was an enormous palace!

The ground was covered with a long red carpet, this time not blood, but a real red carpet.

Boom!! Before Ji Yingting could react, several huge jade-green fox tails suddenly wrapped around the ice-blue cat's massive body!! There were... eight tails in total!! The eight huge fox tails bound the ice-blue cat's body tightly.

The jade-green fox, which had been on the verge of death, instantly cleaned itself of blood and pinned down the ice-blue cat.

Ji Yingting took a few steps back, her blue-green eyes narrowed slightly, and her two ice-blue cat ears twitched gently.

Ji Yingting looked around the palace. Could it be that she had entered the interior of the city wall she had just seen?

This is... the imperial palace, where countless round stone pillars reach straight to the sky. A giant jade-colored fox uses its eight soft jade-colored fox tails to bind an ice-blue cat to a stone pillar.

On the throne in front of Ji Yingting, a girl with long orange princess hair appeared.

The orange Taoist robe was much more magnificent than before, almost resembling a dragon robe!

The girl's orange eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were sneering at Ji Yingting, her eyes curving upwards.

With her legs crossed, the orange-haired girl gently placed her two slender hands on her chin, her orange eyes narrowed as she spoke softly.

"What were you and Eighth Sister talking about just now...? Please continue, I would love to hear it..."

Chapter 257: Ji Yingting and Shang Jiujiu's Deadly Battle in the Royal Palace [4000 words]

The orange-haired girl gently placed her two slender hands on her chin, and whispered with her orange eyes narrowed.

"What were you and Eighth Sister talking about just now...? Please continue, I would love to hear it..."

Shang Jiujiu...

Ji Yingting's light green crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly. The ice-blue giant cat, which was being pressed down by the eight-tailed giant fox, suddenly rolled over and pushed it away with its two long, icy blue paws.

Of course, even the azure eight-tailed fox's sneak attack failed to harm her. The ice-blue cat was covered in ice crystal armor, and its terrifying defense even caused the eight azure fox tails of the eight-tailed jade fox to swell up.

As Ji Yingting and Shang Jiujiu, who sat on the throne, stared at each other, the two giant beasts roared menacingly at each other.

"Meow!!"

"Chirp!!"

The enormous echo shook the palace, and an icy blue cat's paw descended, while the icy blue giant shield gently blocked Ji Yingting's path.

"Ji Yingting, don't you want to continue playing chess with me?"

The girl with long, orange princess-style hair chuckled softly and rose gently from the throne.

A pair of strange blue-green cat eyes stared intently at Shang Jiujiu. Ji Yingting remained silent, a few strands of greenish-blue bangs falling down her forehead... Ji Yingting had already started sweating, and there was a slight throbbing pain in her temples.

With a soft "whoosh," Ji Yingting exhaled a cloud of icy blue mist, then sat cross-legged on the red carpet, clutching her dark blue Taoist robe.

Staring at Shang Jiujiu's face, which was much more youthful than Shang Baba's...

Ji Yingting raised a slender hand and placed it on the side of her head, her long, light green hair slowly drooping down.

Strange... Some strange memories came flooding back, and her unusual blue-green pupils contracted slightly.

I feel like I've seen that young face and long orange hair somewhere before, but... how could I?

She couldn't see it, and this was also her first game against Shang Gongying.

Holding a white chess piece between her fingers, Ji Yingting's slender right hand gradually paused in mid-air.

"What's wrong... Aren't you going to make a move?" Shang Jiujiu glanced at the giant ice-blue cat crouching behind the two of them, its expression restless.

The palace is even taller than the city walls, making two colossal beasts that span the Milky Way appear somewhat small in its presence.

Gently shaking her long, turquoise hair, Ji Yingting cleared her mind of distractions, glanced coldly at Shang Jiujiu sitting not far from her, and placed the white chess piece down again.

pat...

"Um!?"

In an instant, Shang Jiujiu's orange pupils suddenly focused, her face became extremely stiff, her straight orange eyebrows furrowed wildly, and her expression became extremely vigilant.

At the same time, the ice-blue cat slowly raised its ice-blue giant shield above its head, and the jade-colored fox with eight huge tails nervously took a few steps back.

Her body continuously emitted icy blue mist. Just as Ji Yingting's chess piece fell onto the chessboard, the air around her seemed to freeze for a moment, and the icy blue mist stopped spreading.

The white piece was placed in... Sixth Road Town!!!

[A "zhen" move is made when one player places a piece in the center of the board, one square away from the opponent's existing piece (also called a "jump"). This move also carries the meaning of suppression.]

Thanks to Shang Baba's efforts, the large knight's move in the lower left corner of the board resulted in a two-way exchange. Ji Yingting gained territory, while Shang Baba, playing black, gained influence on the outside and also had a move on the fourth line to protect his territory.

Ji Yingting's move, the Six-Way Town move, sent chills down Shang Jiujiu's spine, completely shattering her previous composure.

boom!!!

The next instant, the giant ice-blue cat crouching behind Ji Yingting also moved, its ice-blue mouth slightly opening...

Danger! !! !!

In an instant, cold sweat covered Shang Jiujiu's body, and her scalp felt numb. The huge monster with eight jade-colored fox tails suddenly wrapped itself up, forming a jade-colored sphere.

Boom! Without any warning, a beam of ice-blue light shot out from the mouth of the giant ice-blue cat.

As the booming sound, like a laser cannon, swept past her head, Ji Yingting gradually narrowed her strange blue-green eyes, and gently tucked her two slender hands back into her sleeves.

It's over...

This move, known as the Six Roads Town, is comparable to a divine intervention.

Black's move of splitting the fourth line was the last piece Shang Baba placed before leaving the game, a piece placed just before Shang Jiujiu appeared.
