Chapter 11 The Chess Game

"That man is named Bimen Weng (Shut-Door Old Man), and he was specially brought in by Bing Zhu Ren (Candle Holder) to deal with me. They don't want me dead, they want my body," Jiang Cheng explained. "Number 1 and the others were trapped in Bimen Weng's chessboard world and became withered chess pieces. I won the game against Bimen Weng and brought everyone out."

"Impossible!" Grandma Guimian (Ghost Face) suddenly interrupted, her scrutinizing gaze sweeping over Jiang Cheng. "Even if you somehow managed to defeat Bimen Weng and break his chess game, how do you even know his name? I myself don't know much about this person."

"I also know some important information." Jiang Cheng wasn't in a hurry to explain to Grandma Guimian. He first told her all the information he knew about the Shou Ye Ren (Night Watch) side, making everyone even more vigilant.

"How do you know so much?" Grandma Guimian was getting impatient.

"I played chess with Bimen Weng. He couldn't beat me, so I made a deal with him. He could take back moves, but for every move he took back, he had to answer one of my questions. Luckily, he kept his word," Jiang Cheng said, sounding rather relieved.

Jiang Cheng's explanation left everyone speechless for a moment. Finally, the straightforward Fatty cautiously asked, "Then... then how many moves did you let him take back?"

"Seven moves. He also answered seven questions," Jiang Cheng said, spreading his hands in a very honest manner.

"How did you do it?" Unlike the others, Lin Wan'er knew Jiang Cheng's capabilities. Not to mention him, even if she personally went up against Bimen Weng, she would have absolutely no chance.

Jiang Cheng lowered his voice, furtively took out his phone from his pocket, and flashed it. "I knew I couldn't beat him, but I have a Go software on my phone. Do you know AlphaGo?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Shou Ye Ren side erupted in chaos. The previously dignified Bimen Weng now had blood flowing from his mouth, his facial expression extremely ferocious. He forcefully pushed away the people trying to help him and stared intently at Jiang Cheng. "This child... how dare this child humiliate me so? He actually said that the one who defeated me was not a person, but a weak dog! He deserves to die! He deserves to die!"

With a "poof" sound, Bimen Weng spat out another mouthful of blood and was finally dragged away by Bing Zhu Ren (Candle Holder), whose face was dark.

Everyone blinked and looked at the unconscious Bimen Weng, then turned to Jiang Cheng, who had an innocent look on his face. They finally accepted the fact and had to admit that technology changes destiny.

"This time, we must thank Zero." Number 1 used his ability again to release the remaining withered chess pieces who were also trapped in Bimen Weng's world. For a time, there were many figures, an unexpectedly large number of people. "These people are all Bimen Weng's prisoners. Zero saved them, and they are willing to help us."

These people were dressed in various ways, but being pulled into Bimen Weng's chessboard world proved that they were by no means ordinary people. They were all high-level disciples.

With these people joining, Jiang Cheng's side's strength greatly increased.

Just as everyone was planning to gather their strength and deliver a fatal blow to the Shou Ye Ren (Night Watch), Su An, who was standing on the side and rear edge of the group, seemed to sense something. His face suddenly changed, and in the next second, he abruptly pointed his hand at the few people in the very middle of those who had been rescued, shouting in a very urgent but also vague voice, "Be careful! Trait... Traitors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "boom" exploded in the crowd. Limbs and blood flew in all directions. Those few pointed out people acted violently, smashing their companions next to them into pieces. Then, the few people split into two groups, one attacking Jiang Cheng, and the other rushing towards Lin Wan'er.

"Leave this to me, you protect Mr. Quan Xu!" Number 1 reacted first, roared, and then abruptly stepped forward to block in front of Quan Xu (All-Beard) Old Man.

Number 2 immediately rushed towards Lin Wan'er, because the figure of the Midnight Murderer had already appeared beside Jiang Cheng.

The scene became extremely chaotic for a time. Fortunately, these people's strength was very average. The group attacking Jiang Cheng was cut in half by the Midnight Murderer with an axe, and the remaining one was also fighting like a cornered beast. Those who ambushed Lin Wan'er died even more miserably. Lin Wan'er directly captured them and twisted their necks. The remaining two were also besieged by Number 8 and the others.

"Something's wrong! These people are too weak!" Lin Wan'er threw away the corpse and shouted a warning.

But it was too late. Taking advantage of these two groups attracting attention, someone had secretly approached the three people at the very back of the team who were responsible for guarding the secret weapon in the chaos. Before one of the guards could react, his throat was cut by a sharp blade. However, in the next second, he was slapped on the head by another guard, and his eyeballs popped out. But it was still one step too late. A ghostly figure had already taken the lead and crashed into the huge backpack. As the ability was activated, the backpack quickly corroded, and in an instant, it was riddled with holes. Large patches of rust fell out.

"Xiu Niang (Rust Girl)!"

Number 13 shouted loudly. After all, no one expected Xiu Niang (Rust Girl), whom they had been guarding against everywhere, to appear here. She was clearly supposed to be staying by Bing Zhu Ren's (Candle Holder) side!

The guard of the backpack grabbed Xiu Niang's neck and directly twisted off her head, but it was all too late...

The chaos still hadn't ended. A burst of hot blood splashed over. A camouflage-clad guard standing beside Quan Xu (All-Beard) Old Man looked at Number 1 in disbelief. Number 1's palm was inserted into his chest, then crushed his heart.

"Number 1 has betrayed the country!"

Quickly activating his ability to open a black space, Number 1 abruptly pushed Quan Xu (All-Beard) Old Man into it. Then, just as he was about to crawl in, a sharp zither sound rang out. The blind female zither player, Cui Cui, made her move. Number 1's body paused, and his legs were cut off in unison. But Number 1 was still crawling towards the black hole. In the next second, his head also flew out. Something that looked like a skinned monkey quickly drilled out of the headless cavity. Just as this thing was about to escape, it was stepped on by a guard who had rushed over.

But at this moment, the black hole had already closed, and Quan Xu (All-Beard) Old Man, the king general of this operation, was teleported to Bing Zhu Ren's (Candle Holder) side and quickly taken down by several people who were already prepared.

"Hahaha!" Bing Zhu Ren (Candle Holder) laughed loudly. "Things have come to this, why don't you surrender!"

Seeing that the rear was already collapsing, Wu Yu, Da He Niang Niang (Great River Goddess), Shui Lao Ye (Water Lord), and the others no longer lingered in battle and returned to their respective camps.

For a time, the originally fierce battle instantly ended. Both sides withdrew their troops, but the situation on Jiang Cheng's side had completely collapsed. The secret weapon was destroyed, and the commander was captured by the other side. There was no worse situation than now.

All of this happened and ended too suddenly, so that many people didn't react.

"Hahaha! Fighting with this old man? If this old man hadn't deliberately let you off, did you really think you could break my chess game?" The previously distraught Bimen Weng now seemed like a different person, stroking his beard and swaggering out from behind.

"That's right, that's right, my play should also come to an end." The woman dressed as Xiu Niang (Rust Girl) smiled and took off the rusty iron mask, revealing a face that looked seven or eight parts like the real Xiu Niang.
