Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 520: Chapter 349: As a Spectator, You Can Only Cheer

”A new Chess Master has appeared, and we were fortunate enough to emerge from the River of Souls to become his chess pieces. What a pity this status is so fleeting...”

”If the Chess Master dies, what will become of us? Please, don’t let us be sent back to the River of Souls!”

”We’ll most likely return to the River of Souls. It’s not like we’ll get a chance to be reincarnated, right?”

”Damn it, this Evil God is just too strong! No idea where he even came from.”

”We had a glimmer of hope, and in the blink of an eye, it turned to despair. Fate is truly a cruel and heartless mistress!”

”My friends, perhaps we’ll meet again if fate allows!”

”I’m afraid our shared destiny ends here...”

”The Chess Master has appeared. He’ll probably be killed in no time!”

”My friends, enjoy this brief moment of consciousness...”

The three of them were dejected, sighing in despair.

As the Celestial Covering Chessmaster, Wang Yi now had no pieces left and could no longer continue the game. The rules of the Chessboard Battlefield took effect: his body materialized high in the air and began a slow descent to the earth.

”A chess player entering the board with no pieces to command can only join the fray himself...”

Wang Yi said calmly, completely unperturbed by Luo Feng’s provocations from below.

”You’ve finally shown yourself! Now die!”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. He opened his mouth wide again, and a massive swarm of golden insects flew out like a cloud of smoke and mist, rushing toward Wang Yi.

Wang Yi waved his sleeve, conjuring the Sanmei Divine Wind. With a single sweep of the wind, all the insects were sent flying backward, scattering like smoke.

”Hm?” Luo Feng was slightly taken aback. ”A Celestial Covering Chessmaster has no direct Combat Skills. What kind of technique was that?”

Wang Yi didn’t answer. He used the Cloud Soaring Minor Divine Technique to hover in mid-air, a cloud forming beneath his feet. He looked down coldly at Luo Feng and asked, ”Why hasn’t this mountain of flesh disappeared? Shouldn’t it have turned into a Yellow Robe? The previous Gold Giant Dragon and Three-headed Dragon both did.”

”This robe can still be patched up and worn!” Luo Feng said. ”Or perhaps, using you to patch this Yellow Robe would be an even better choice.”

”These Yellow Robes of yours feel a bit like biological Mechas. You’re the Master of the Yellow Robe, capable of creating them—a decent ability. So, to get rid of you, do I have to destroy all of your Yellow Robes first? How many more do you have?”

”You want to destroy my Yellow Robes? How amusing. You’re just a Celestial Covering Chessmaster with no combat abilities right now. Even if your class hadn’t been overwritten and you were still a Chaos Lord, how much power could you possibly have? Just lie down and die!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng attacked again. A Blood Arrow shot out from his palm. Wang Yi didn’t dodge or evade. He simply blew a breath of air, and the Sanmei Divine Wind once again displayed its power, instantly grinding the Blood Arrow to dust!

”It’s rude not to return a favor. Have a taste of my techniques as well!”

Wang Yi retaliated. With a casual flick of his finger, a small ball of Samadhi Divine Fire shot out, flying toward Luo Feng as fast as a bullet.

”A petty trick?”

Luo Feng leaped and gracefully dodged the Small Fireball. But when the Small Fireball landed on the tattered mountain of flesh, it instantly erupted into a massive blaze, as if the flesh itself had been set alight. The fire spread rapidly. In less than three breaths, the entire mountain of flesh was burning, and within the flames, it was visibly turning to ash.

”Lord Inspector, why did you dodge? Look, I’ve accidentally burned your clothes. I’m afraid you won’t be able to patch them up now. And really, this outfit of yours is far too flammable.”

Wang Yi said in a clear voice. He had, of course, intentionally burned the mountain of flesh. It couldn’t harm Luo Feng’s true body, but it could destroy one of his Yellow Robes.

”You...”

Luo Feng’s eyes looked as if they were about to split with rage. That Dark Gold Nine-headed Serpent was his proudest creation. It possessed immense Life Force; if left alone to recover, it could regrow its heads in less than an hour and return to its complete state, becoming a perfect, undamaged robe once more.

But now, Wang Yi had burned it!

Luo Feng’s loss was immense. He was so heartbroken he felt like coughing up blood, but then he slapped a palm against his chest and actually did spit out a large mouthful of it.

The blood was also gold. As he spat it out, it was as if some ritual had been completed. It rapidly transformed into countless tiny Flying Swords that shot toward Wang Yi.

”Trying to play with Flying Swords in front of me?”

Wang Yi gave a contemptuous smile. With a mere thought, a light flashed between his brows, and eight points of light suddenly shot out.

Those eight points of light rapidly transformed into Qiankun Universe Blades. The blades flashed with a cold light, and innumerable Starlight Flying Swords appeared, quickly forming a great river that flowed in all directions, as if about to flood the entire Chessboard Battlefield.

Luo Feng’s handful of Flying Swords were, of course, instantly crushed and overwhelmed!

”Hm? What’s this technique? Wait a second, something’s not right. You shouldn’t be able to use skills...”

Luo Feng was greatly alarmed, feeling he might have made a mistake. The Starlight Flying Swords were sharp, and he didn’t dare to face them head-on. He continued to retreat, only to look up and suddenly see a Five-Colored Mountain appear in the sky.

The mountain glowed with brilliant light, seeming to possess an unfathomable power as it came crashing down.

”Not good!”

At that moment, Luo Feng felt a chill crawl down his spine. His instincts took over his body, and without a single thought of resisting, he immediately retreated at top speed.

With a deafening BOOM, the Five-Colored Mountain landed, shaking the entire Chessboard Battlefield.

Luo Feng’s speed was astonishing, but he still couldn’t escape the mountain’s direct impact. He was pinned beneath it. The single blow made him vomit a mouthful of blood. He then discovered that the Five-Colored Mountain was incredibly heavy, and it seemed to be merging with the ground. He was trapped, unable to escape, with only his head sticking out from the base of the mountain.

’This mountain has a suppressive power, and it’s getting stronger! I have to escape, quickly!’

Luo Feng was a seasoned warrior. He made a split-second decision, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a white snake.

This was another ”costume change.” After the white snake left his body, the form pinned under the mountain was still alive. It struggled violently, trying to crawl out, but it clearly lacked the strength.

But Luo Feng’s crisis wasn’t over. A brilliant light flashed in the sky, and a second Five-Colored Mountain appeared. This one seemed to have a homing ability, pursuing Luo Feng relentlessly and descending without warning.

With another BOOM, the Chessboard Battlefield shook. The white snake was also pinned beneath a mountain. But just in the nick of time, Luo Feng had completed another costume change, leaving the white snake to be suppressed by the Five-Colored Mountain while he himself transformed into a six-armed Giant Ape.

The Giant Ape continued to flee, but more Five-Colored Mountains appeared: a third, a fourth, a fifth...

Luo Feng could no longer muster a smile. He was exhausted from fleeing. His intuition told him that if he were pinned by one of those Five-Colored Mountains, he would be doomed beyond recovery. With the mountains in relentless pursuit, Luo Feng could only keep changing ”Yellow Robes” to help his true body escape.

Wang Yi, in contrast, was calm and composed. He had consecutively formed eight Great Five Elements Divine Seals, summoning eight Five-Colored Mountains to suppress eight of Luo Feng’s Yellow Robes.

He was in no hurry to end the fight. With another thought, the eight Qiankun Universe Blades landed on the peaks of the Five-Colored Mountains. The Starlight Flying Swords began to flow, forming what looked like a real river between the eight mountains.

In the spectator area, Li Xuanjun and the others were dumbfounded. They had never seen such world-altering techniques from Wang Yi.

”So the Chess Master was hiding his true strength! He’s an expert too!”

”The Five-Colored Mountain, the Starlight River... I get it! Our Chess Master might be a future Divine King!”

”A Divine King proves their dao through pure power and has unrivaled combat strength. But becoming a Divine King is easier said than done. Not even one in a hundred Divine Lords might succeed!”

”Hahahaha, that Evil God is getting beaten senseless! Go, Lord Chess Master! Kill him and avenge us!”

”Yes, Lord Chess Master, avenge us!”

The three of them, including Li Xuanjun, felt like they had found a light at the end of the tunnel. They never would have imagined that this Lord Chess Master possessed such immense combat power. Now, as spectators, all they could do was cheer him on.

Luo Feng’s mind, meanwhile, was in chaos. He had been completely stunned by Wang Yi’s barrage of ultimate moves. He was now in his true form; all of his available ”Yellow Robes” had been suppressed by Wang Yi. Even those as powerful as the Dark Gold Nine-headed Giant Snake were unable to break free.

While he was in this state of frantic confusion, Wang Yi suddenly teleported in front of him and said, ”Lord Inspector, how long are you going to run? Weren’t you looking forward to fighting me? Come on, make your move!”
