The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

The little fox and the kitten looked together at the fiery red Buddha statue in the distance, inside which was a burning golden sun.

The fiery red lotus beneath my feet was like a roar from hell; it was clearly a combination of two chess pieces!

............................................

"pat..."

With a black chess piece between her fingers, An Ruotong slowly lowered her hand and gently closed her blood-red eyes.

With a ten-point lead, Sakuraba-nee... I've won this game.

Looking at the pitiful girl with her hair disheveled and green willow branches, An Ruotong said calmly.

The fact that she didn't continue attacking Ji Yingting with her moves was already a kind gesture; otherwise... Ji Yingting, whose position had been completely destroyed, probably wouldn't even be able to make another move.

Even so, facing Ji Yingting, who was in very poor form, she managed to gain the upper hand solely through her chess skills.

Even if Ji Yingting is stronger when playing white, she still has no advantage against a rare player like her who is stronger when playing black than white.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo"

Her timer was almost up, although An Ruotong's timer was also running out, since she was also relying on her chess skills to fight.

The dark blue sleeves of her robe were used to support the table, and Ji Yingting's beautiful face was covered in sweat.

She forced her pale purple starry eyes open a crack. Starry sky...look at me, gaze up at me.

I won't look at you anymore. This time, please look at me... She completely closed her pale purple starry eyes, and with her eyes closed... she placed the chess piece. She knew that this move was very good.

pat...

A white chess piece gently landed on the chessboard, and a slight smile appeared on Ji Yingting's lips.

"Cross-section!!"

In an instant, An Ruotong's blood-red eyes widened, and she gently bit her teeth.

Her hair stood on end, her slender right hand stopped placing a piece, and her blood-red eyes glared angrily at the move.

"Damn it, Sakuraba-nee, this woman, does she still have the strength to fight...?"

In this state, she still managed to make an extremely dangerous move that I hadn't expected. Just how powerful is her chess skill?

In that instant, An Ruotong realized something profound...

She was already very strong, but there seemed to be an ancient chasm between her and Ji Yingting's chess skills.

"No...it's too dangerous to let her continue like this. Let's end it."

With a slight grit of her teeth, An Ruotong made a decision that even she herself was unwilling to make.

boom!!!

In an instant, a thousand fiery red arms fell from the sky, all striking towards Ji Yingting in the starry sky.

"Sister Sakuraba... I'm sorry, please get some sleep first." An Ruotong closed her blood-red eyes with some reluctance.

Although a player's spirit may be damaged when their game is broken, it is not permanent; they can recover after a good night's sleep.

"Chess Strategy - Ultimate Liberation"

At the same time, a cool voice rang in An Ruotong's ears, and a word that she was extremely familiar with, and that only she would be familiar with, rang out: "Chess position is super liberated?"

Um! ?

An Ruotong was slightly taken aback; this voice did not come from Ji Yingting.

However, in the starry sky, her vision was instantly filled with a jade-colored radiance.

Indeed, those words were spoken by Shang Gongying, and a strand of orange hair gently drifted down onto Ji Yingting's head.

"Ji Yingting, this time... I'll lend you my power. Oh, right... it's not my wish, Qiqi forced me to do this."

A girl with long orange hair whispered, and she smiled gently at the cute girl with long, ice-blue hair in front of her.

With a "whoosh," a cloud of jade-green mist emerged from Ji Yingting's cherry-like lips, and her pale purple starry eyes widened slightly!

Beautiful colors were swirling within her eyes as Ji Yingting used her slender hands to support herself as she sat up on the table.

"Starry sky, since you are unwilling to look up at me, then... let me look down at you..."

Ji Yingting said calmly, her pale face vanishing instantly, her stunning beauty radiating a dazzling light.

With her slender right hand gently picking up a white chess piece, Ji Yingting spoke softly.

"The starry sky submits to me, and I look down upon the starry sky."

boom!!!

A dazzling beam of jade-green light suddenly burst forth from her body, shattering the dark clouds in the sky. However... what appeared before everyone's eyes was not the radiant sun, but a soft moonlight.

"Chess Strategy Unleashed: Nine-Tailed Jade Shield Cat"

Nine jade-green beams of light slowly unfolded behind her, and an enormous cat gradually grew larger. Its arm, which was originally only the size of a fiery red arm, grew countless times larger in an instant, becoming level with the fiery red Buddha statue.

The starry sky could no longer withstand the pressure from the two monsters and began to shatter.

The turquoise cat wore a layer of jade-colored armor, with ice crystal-shaped armor covering her body.

It should be said that... her ice-blue armor was changed to jade-green.

At the same time, nine enormous jade-colored fox tails suddenly sprouted from behind the cat wearing jade-colored armor, and the nine fox tails were covered by a layer of jade-colored ice.

The cat extended her two jade-colored arm guards, each bearing a large jade-colored shield.

The transformation happened in an instant; a thousand fiery red arms were blocked by nine larger jade-green fox tails.

Nine fox tails, like flower petals, gently enveloped the enormous body of the jade-colored cat, leaving no gaps. In front of the cat were two even more exaggerated shields.

"Damn it, Shang Gongying...meddling in other people's business!" An Ruotong's blood-red eyes widened suddenly. Even so, she would not fail.

In order to win, she made all the worst-case scenarios.

Although somewhat angry, An Ruotong did not lose her mind. The fiery red Buddha statue gently opened its huge mouth, and a fiery red shockwave spewed out. This was the combined power of her and Sister Hongying, which was invincible.

*Thud!*

A black chess piece crashed onto the chessboard in an instant, and An Ruotong's blood-red eyes stared at Ji Yingting, who had fully recovered.

“I won’t lose,” An Ruotong said calmly. She was confident that she wouldn’t lose, as her chess skills were not much weaker than Ji Yingting’s.

With her slender, fair hands gently tidying up her disheveled, bluish-green hair, Ji Yingting looked at An Ruotong ahead, a strand of bluish-green hair still in her mouth.

"You're right, you've become stronger and grown... You're not the little girl who used to cry and run away from me anymore."

Therefore... the real outcome will be decided from this moment on...

Ji Yingting has three minutes left on her timer, while An Ruotong has almost seven minutes.

Beyond the starry sky, the Nine-Tailed Jade Shield Cat and the Thousand-Armed Yama King gazed at each other.

Chapter 283: The Real Monster, Young Girl Ji Yingting Makes Her Appearance.

"........."

Why can't I beat her? No matter what, I just can't.

A girl with long black hair stared blankly at the chessboard.

"pat..."

A chess piece was gently placed down, and Ji Qiuyao withdrew her right hand, whispering.

"This game is over. You lost by five and a half points."

Not only Ke Jiurui, but almost everyone in Di Yue Province was in a state of total defeat.

Perhaps because Shang Gongying wasn't taking it seriously, she lost to Ji Bingyuan by two and a half points. Of course, neither of them even used any strategic moves.

Cui Jinlie, who was originally considered a seeded player in Xinyue Province, lost to a white-haired girl named Lü Kuangmei with a score of 14.5, which was a bit too exaggerated. After entering the final stage, he casually counted the points and simply conceded defeat.

All the other games ended early, but the game between Ji Yingting and An Ruotong was still slowly progressing.

"Hey, what are these two doing? Wasn't this supposed to be an exhibition match? Why are they even making a countdown?"

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, snap!

Just as the timer on Ji Yingting's side started ringing, she gently tapped it.

Drip, drip, drip, drip.

Although each player's timer is set to one hour, there is a 30-second countdown for each move after the time runs out. In other words, players must make a decision within these short 30 seconds.

"Plop..." A slender little hand slowly dropped a black chess piece onto the chessboard.

"An Ruotong, calm down. You still have a significant advantage. Victory is just around the corner..."

The girl with long black hair gritted her teeth slightly and said to herself.

The middle game is about to end. As long as the advantage is maintained until the final stage, Ji Yingting will have a hard time turning the tide.

"As the endgame progresses, don't focus on finishing off the biggest moves first; instead, prioritize the moves with the absolute advantage in the endgame."

An Ruotong's thoughts gradually returned to a few days ago, when a girl with long, fiery red hair spoke to her.

Making the first move, which gives her a clear advantage in the endgame... An Ruotong's right hand slowly caught a black chess piece, *click*.

This black stone landed on the first line of the board, a move known as the "Crane Stretching Its Leg" endgame move.

boom!!!

In the sky, countless fiery red arms suddenly swept down towards the ground, as if they could beat the cat to a pulp in the next instant.

Nine jade-green fox tails stretched out slightly, forming a beautiful encircling net, like a peacock spreading its tail.

At this moment, she was... invincible.

"pat..."

A white chess piece fell onto the chessboard. Ji Yingting tossed her long, bluish-green hair and gently opened her pale green, moonlit eyes.

Her long, light green hair moved without wind, and her original light green twin ponytails had become disheveled, so she tidied them up again.

A green storm seemed to surround her, and the oval-shaped wind pressure gently blew up her long green hair.
