"Your strength truly makes us ashamed,” a figure emerged from the Seven-Star Chessboard, chuckling softly.
"I really shouldn’t obstruct you.
But the Family Head has ordered, that even if a Dao Fruit powerhouse descended today,
I would fight to the death.
This is an order from the Yue Family, our lives have belonged to the Yue Family since birth.”
Xu Zimei looked at the other party.
A purple long robe adorned his body, black and white chess pieces crisscrossing on it.
The high-collared robe, with long hair cascading down, covered half an eye.
This is about employing a tactic of overwhelming numbers.
To drain his internal power with these people.Xu Zimei was somewhat disdainful.
He heard the man introduce himself, “I am the Seven-Star Monarch, laying out a Seven-Star Chessboard in this world,
Hoping that Your Excellency will enter the board for a look.”
"I’m not fond of playing chess,” Xu Zimei grinned.
"Why bother entering any chessboard.
If I destroy this board and kill you, wouldn’t it solve everything? Such trouble is a sheer waste of time.”
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the Seven-Star Monarch responded coldly, “Whether or not you wish to enter, you have no choice.”
"The world of chess,” he waved his hand.
A massive chessboard enveloped the heavens and earth from above, covering the surrounding firmament grandly.
Leaving Xu Zimei with no way to avoid it.
Soon the chessboard descended, lines of chess lines delineated out, intersecting in all directions, straight and precise.
Both Xu Zimei and the Seven-Star Monarch became the black and white pieces on this chessboard.
"I am the Chessmaster, dominating everything.”
The Seven-Star Monarch shouted lightly.
In the shadows, some kind of gas seemed to enshroud Xu Zimei, drawing him into it.
A powerful force rippled.
Looking up, countless meteor showers fell from the firmament.
Upon closer examination, these meteor showers were black and white, countless black and white chess pieces descending from the sky.
"Boom, boom.”
Each chess piece came with the power to destroy heaven and earth, making people awestruck.
Xu Zimei waved his hand.
Shielding the firmament, he punched fiercely towards it.
This punch was full of momentum, like a long rainbow penetrating the sun, blasting a hole through the firmament.
Though these black and white pieces were strong, compared to him, they still fell short.
The punch annihilated thousands of chess pieces.
Then, Xu Zimei turned his gaze, directly brandishing the Tyrant Shadow, with fluctuating blade intent.
He directly found the weakness of this chessboard.
Though said, the Seven-Star Chessboard was extremely abstruse, ordinary people couldn’t find its weakness, perhaps not even understand the board.
But with Xu Zimei’s Great Saint Peak strength, observing such a chessboard in the Holy King Realm wasn’t a difficult task.
He turned his gaze.
The Tyrant Shadow in his hand slashed toward a corner of the chessboard.
And heard the sound of “Boom, boom” ring out.
The blade qi was strong, directly destroying the chessboard, while powerful forces tore the void ahead, forming a rift.
Xu Zimei walked directly out from the rift.
His gaze landed directly on the Seven-Star Monarch.
With one step in the void, a series of phantoms tore apart behind him, and he already appeared in front of the Seven-Star Monarch.
"Seven-Star Sword,” in urgency, the Seven-Star Monarch shouted.
A longsword exuding seven-star radiance instantly appeared in his hand, sweeping across the horizon, attacking Xu Zimei.
The Tyrant Shadow clashed with the Seven-Star Sword.
Blade and sword collided, the powerful force like a whirlwind.
But ultimately Xu Zimei was superior, the Tyrant Shadow severed the Seven-Star Sword, landing heavily on the Seven-Star Monarch.
However, his dodging movement technique was also strong.
Transforming into two streams of black light, directly passed around him.
Then, the black and white stream transformed into countless black and white chess pieces, surrounding Xu Zimei.
And countless black and white chess pieces exploded simultaneously, as if attracted to each other.
"Boom, boom.”
"A paltry trick,” Xu Zimei lightly said.
The void in front twisted, ripping apart directly, not only escaping the explosion of black and white chess but also appearing beside the Seven-Star Monarch.
The Tyrant Shadow in his hand rose and fell.
Landing directly on the neck of the Seven-Star Monarch.
With a “pfft” sound, the head flew away, blood flowing, and the Seven-Star Monarch’s body fell from the sky.
Xu Zimei kicked it directly.
Thoroughly exploding the opponent’s body in the void.
"Let’s go, hopefully, this Yue Family won’t disappoint us,” Xu Zimei said.
Behind him, Ancestor Liuye led the crowd, following closely.
This Yui City was also divided into outer and inner cities.
The place where everyone just entered was just the outer city.
But ordinary people had no qualification to enter the inner city, as only the Yue Family’s direct and collateral descendants could reside there.
Don’t underestimate this Yue Family.
After millions of years of existence, their family’s development has grown to an excessive extent.
Initially, the identity of Yue Family’s descendants was noble.
But as the scale grew bigger.
Yue Family’s descendants could be found everywhere, on the streets of the inner city, likely anyone you encounter would be related to the Yue Family.
Therefore, later, Yue Family only regarded direct lineage as noble, whereas the collateral line had no differentiation.
When Xu Zimei arrived at the gate of the inner city.
On the inner city wall.
The wall wasn’t tall, slightly heavy, exuding a dense aura.
Above the wall sat the silhouettes of three elders.
The three suppressed a whole expanse of heaven and earth with absolute force.
Taking a closer look, these three appeared half-human, half-monster.
The one on the left, like a bronze lion, with glaring round eyes, hair curled in circles.
The one on the right, entirely red, with a horn growing from the head, resembling people’s descriptions of pi xiu.
As for the middle one, it needs no further description.
Because he looked exactly like a kylin.
Even though having a human body, he had a kel’s head.
The three sat cross-legged, boundless demonic qi surged out from their bodies.
Powerful forces echoed in the void.
As Xu Zimei stepped through the void, the middle old kylin among the three opened his eyes first.
Chuckling lightly, “Sir, please return.
This is a dead end.”
"A road sending you to death,” Xu Zimei grinned.
Seeing the three, many forces observing secretly were greatly shocked.
"They’re the Three Ancient Beast Elders.”
"Indeed, the Bronze Lion, pi xiu, and the young kylin, they are the Guardians of the Yue Inner City.
They’ve guarded the inner city for tens of thousands of years, and not once has there been internal chaos.
Because of their formidable reputation, all who attempted to enter the inner city have become dead souls beneath their hands.”
"This is interesting; can’t say if the Ancestor of the True Martial Holy Sect can break past the three.
You must know the three are all Great Saint-level powerhouses.”
Everyone watched the spectacle, yet Xu Zimei remained indifferent.
The blade pointed at the three, asking, “Here, is this the burial ground you’ve chosen for yourselves?”
At these words, the three were enraged.
