King of Assassins

Zhongzhou, Sihai City.

Sihai City is huge, with tens of millions of residents. Coupled with the merchants and tourists who come in and out every day, Sihai City can be called the least lively city in Zhongzhou.

In the Yuantian Realm, Sihai City is also the only place that allows cultivators of all races to trade at will.

Therefore, Sihai City naturally became the center of Yuantian Realm.

No one will cause trouble in Sihai City, and no monsters and ghosts will dare to misbehave here.

Anyone who enters Sihai City, whether they are earthly immortals or little ghosts, must abide by the rules of Sihai City. If you abide by the rules, you will be blessed by the Lord of Sihai City.

"Little Junior Sister, we can do whatever we want at home, but in Sihai City we must abide by the rules."

Li Xiulian said to Yue Honglian: "Don't cause trouble."

Yue Honglian looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen, with lively eyes and delicate features. She wears a red sword suit with a purple lotus pattern embroidered on it. Xiaoman had a sheathed red dagger hanging on his waist.

Li Xiulian looks much more mature and taller.

Both women are very beautiful and have extraordinary temperament. After entering Sihai City, they attracted the attention of passers-by on the long street.

The long street is wide and long, with various trading shops on both sides. The long street is packed with people and extremely lively.

Moreover, the pedestrians all have weird and special looks, and they look like anything.

Some have animal heads and human bodies, some have human heads and animal bodies, some are a blurry black shadow, and some are like wooden and stone statues, which are all kinds of strange.

Of course, most of them look like ordinary humans. Even these ordinary people wear various magical weapons. All of them are full of immortal energy, which is different from ordinary ones.

Yue Honglian is very favored by the master in the sect, and the senior sisters also care about her very much. This was her first time traveling far away, and it was also her first time seeing so many strange cultivators.

But these guys kept staring at her, which made Yue Honglian feel very bad. There is always an urge to draw a sword and kill someone.

Li Xiulian saw that something was wrong with Yue Honglian and hurriedly explained the rules of Sihai City to her.

"The most important thing in Sihai City is that there should be no private fights. No matter what grudges there are, they cannot be settled through private fights.

There is only one place in Sihai City where you can take action, which is the life and death platform. If you have any grudges, you can go there to duel. "

Yue Honglian asked in disbelief: "With such a big city and so many cultivators, who can manage it?"

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense. Lord Diyuan Dao is here to take charge, and even if Earthly Immortals enter the city, they must abide by the rules..."

Li Xiulian pulled Yue Honglian's sleeve to remind her not to talk nonsense.

Diyuan Taojun is known as the number one in Yuantian Realm, a title that the Qinglian Sword Sect certainly does not recognize. However, the vast majority of cultivators in the Yuantian Realm recognize this title.

Although their master Yuan Qinglian is extremely arrogant, he will not underestimate Di Yuan Daojun.

Li Xiulian knew that Yue Honglian was a young woman and a genius in swordsmanship, and now she was a top human immortal. After a few thousand more years of accumulation, we may be able to become immortals.

Such a genius is inevitably arrogant in temperament. It's just that in Diyuan Daojun's territory, it's not their turn to act arrogantly.

This time they came to Sihai City to participate in the Three Yuan Dharma Assembly. Even if Lord Di Yuan did not blame them if something happened, their master Yuan Qinglian would not spare them.

Li Xiulian patiently explained the pros and cons to Yue Honglian. Although Yue Honglian was energetic, she was not arrogant and ignorant. Of course she knew how powerful Diyuan Daojun was.

Although the disciples of Qinglian Sword Sect all think that Master Yuan Qinglian is invincible and the most powerful person in Yuantian Realm.

Everyone respects Di Yuan Taojun.

Their master and Lord Diyuan are also good friends. What comes first and second, it’s never their turn to comment.

Yue Honglian was just a little angry at the sight of monsters, but he didn't really draw his sword because of it.

Li Xiulian has been to Sihai City several times and is very familiar with it. She took Yue Honglian to some fun places, such as the Haunted Mansion and the Flying Corpse Field, which were all great places to have fun.

The ghosts and flying corpses in these places are actually magic weapons and can be killed at will, which is very interesting and fun.

Of course, it is a bit too weak for a strong human immortal. However, just having fun and having fun made Yue Honglian quite happy.

"It's just too weak and not satisfying at all."

Yue Honglian got interested, but the game was over before she could exert herself.

Li Xiulian said: "How about we go to Fangshi and have a look, maybe we can find out what's missing?"

"Forget it, we are all swordsmen, so we don't have the foresight to pick up the slack. I heard that those who sell magic weapons in the market are all liars."

Yue Honglian was not interested in any of this. She asked, "Senior sister, where else is there something fun?"

"Then go to the Beast Fighting Chess Building. Playing Beast Fighting Chess there is also really fun."

"Beast Fighting Chess?" Yue Honglian had played Beast Fighting Chess before, and her level was quite high. She didn't have much interest in playing chess after traveling so far away.

Li Xiulian understood what Yue Honglian was thinking. She smiled and said, "The Fighting Beast Chess Tower is a very lively place in Sihai City. Many chess masters from all over the world are there. Their Fighting Beast Chess is also more powerful. It is said to be at the level of earth artifacts. , very powerful..."

"That's what I need to see."

Yue Honglian loves to compete and win in her heart. As soon as she heard that there was a chess master, she immediately became very interested.

Li Xiulian said: "There are stakes in playing Beast Fighting Chess. With your junior sister's level, you can definitely win."

"It doesn't matter whether I win or not, I just want to meet the world's chess masters..."

Yue Honglian's face was full of pride, but what she said was very angry.

Li Xiulian was a little funny. She wanted to remind Yue Honglian that Sihai City Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers was not the Qinglian Sword Sect. But she thought about it and said nothing.

After all, Yue Honglian has to endure some hardships before he can understand these truths. Otherwise, even Yue Honglian wouldn't listen to her bad words.

Principles cannot be taught through words.

Li Xiulian and Yue Honglian flew to the southernmost corner of Sihai City on a ball of sword light. From a distance, they could see a majestic high-rise building, which was shining brilliantly in the sun and looked very majestic.

When I arrived at the gate of the high-rise building, I saw a horizontal plaque hanging on the gate with four golden dragon seal characters: Make friends with chess.

Outside the gate, an attentive waiter came over to say hello. He asked, "Which floor do you two want to go to?"

"What does this mean?" Yue Honglian asked curiously.

The waiter lowered his head and bowed in a respectful manner, but his voice was very clear and clean: "Two distinguished guests, the rules of this building are like this, judge by chess ability. Ordinary guests start from the first floor.

"If there is no jade sign for this building, first-time guests will need to pay a deposit if they want to enter above the fifth floor..."

The waiter was very articulate and quickly introduced the rules of the Beast Fighting Chess House.

Yue Honglian waved her hand: "Let's go to the ninth floor first."

The waiter smiled apologetically and said, "If you are here for the first time, you will need ninety spiritual crystals."

Spiritual crystals are extracted from spiritual energy and are very precious.

Monster cultivators below the level of Heavenly Tribulation cannot condense spiritual crystals. Only those who have passed through the heavenly realm and inherited the secret method can know how to refine spiritual crystals.

The disciples of Diyuan Daojun are better at refining spiritual crystals, which are useful to all cultivators. Over time, it became a medium of exchange and money that was common in all cities.

In fact, spiritual crystals are commonly used in Zhongzhou. Only barbaric places like Bahuang do not use universal spiritual crystals.

Ninety spiritual crystals can be considered a huge fortune. Enough to buy a low-level spiritual weapon.

Yue Honglian was Yuan Qinglian's beloved disciple, and he only had a thousand spiritual crystals every month, so how could he care about such a small amount of money.

The waiter took a hundred spiritual crystals, ran to the counter to pay the deposit, and helped Yue Honglian receive a jade plaque.

"Dear guest, when you come back, this jade token can be exchanged for a deposit."

The waiter carefully presented the jade token and the remaining spiritual crystals with both hands. Yue Honglian picked up the jade token and said, "I'll give you the remaining spiritual crystals as a reward."

The waiter was overjoyed, but he quickly suppressed the smile on his face and respectfully led Yue Honglian and Li Xiulian to the ninth floor.

Arriving on the ninth floor, Yue Honglian found two cultivators playing chess in the hall.

There is a huge square water mirror above the hall, showing the situation on the chessboard.

Beast fighting chess sounds simple. In fact, each side has thirty-six monster chess pieces, each with different abilities.

How to combine and control these monster chess pieces is a great test of the chess player's wisdom.

Because these monsters have dozens of abilities, and they have many combinations. With the addition of thirty-six chess pieces, this combination is too many to count.

How both sides cultivate their own monsters and allocate their resources in the early stage will further test the cultivators' computing power and adaptability.

Coupled with the offense and defense of both sides, the changes become even more complicated.

Even powerful earth immortals cannot exhaust the variations of Beast Fighting Chess. Earth Immortals also often play beast fighting chess for entertainment.

On the water mirror above the hall, a group of cloud-like monsters were fighting with the Pegasus monster. Behind them, there were flames and lightning flashes. The fire bear monster and the electric light monster also joined the battle.

Judging from the scene, it was extremely lively.

Yue Honglian took one look and couldn't move her eyes away. Her senior sister was right, the beast fighting chess here was really powerful.

The monsters fighting on both sides are very powerful, and the changes in their auras are as real as they come.

Yue Honglian just glanced at it and was attracted by the fierce atmosphere of the fight between the two sides.

She is a master of chess, and she can tell immediately that the chess game has reached its most critical moment. Moreover, the chess skills of both players are not weak.

Yue Honglian looked at it for a while and said, "The red side is going to win."

The waiter smiled and said: "Betting is allowed here. If you are optimistic about who will win, you can place a bet..."

Yue Honglian shook his head. She came here just to play chess, and she didn't care about winning the small amount of money by betting.

"Just find a seat here."

Yue Honglian noticed that the surrounding corridors led to private rooms, and many guests were watching the excitement in the private rooms. But she came here just to play chess and become famous. What was the point of hiding in the box?

The waiter hurriedly arranged a seat for Yue Honglian, brought tea and water, and brought some small fruit plates and desserts.

These exquisite snacks are not worth even one spiritual crystal in total. The waiters charge so much tips, so of course they have to make arrangements clearly.

When everything is done, the chess game in the hall is over. Sure enough, the red side won.

The waiter quickly flattered Yue Honglian. Being able to judge the outcome in advance is indeed a skill.

Of course, this is not difficult. The main reason why the waiters are so enthusiastic and flattering is because of the generous tips.

Yue Honglian was impatient, and she immediately launched a challenge.

The red party thought he was an old man with white hair. When he saw that the challenger was a girl with an unfamiliar face, he couldn't help showing contempt on his face.

However, if someone offered to give ten spirit crystals for free, he would certainly not refuse.

When Yue Honglian plays chess, the chessboard naturally appears on her table, and there is no need to change positions.

Yue Honglian's thoughts sank, and the chessboard in front of him continued to expand, and soon turned into a huge and real world.

Thirty-six monsters were placed in front of her. This time she started on a mountainous area with plenty of spiritual energy.

The initial stage of Beast Fighting Chess will continue to change. The great creator of Beast Fighting Chess believes that there is no absolute fairness in the world. Luck is also part of destiny.

Yue Honglian had never played such a powerful beast-fighting chess game before, and she was extremely excited. After taking a quick look just now, she probably knew the red side's chess move. He immediately launched an attack without hesitation.

A quarter of an hour later, the red side was defeated.

The white-haired old man stared at Yue Honglian in shock. The opponent did not follow the routine and directly attacked him without cultivating the spiritual beast, killing him and defeating him. This made him very unconvinced by the loss.

So, the second game started quickly.

Yue Honglian just sat here without moving, winning thirty-six games in a row. Killed all the chess players on the ninth floor and bowed their heads.

Yue Honglian is close to the Earth Immortal level, and his soul power is actually far superior to this group of chess players. In addition, she is very talented in chess, so she is invincible when playing chess with this group of people.

The waiter was also stunned. He didn't realize that Yue Honglian was so powerful.

Yue Honglian was so excited that she asked the waiter to lead her to the thirteenth floor. She thought that even if she met an earthly immortal, she would be able to survive a few times. What's more, how can the Earth Immortal be so free that he would come here to play chess.

The waiter tried to persuade her, but Yue Honglian didn't pay attention. The waiter had no choice but to lead Yue Honglian up to the thirteenth floor.

There were far fewer people in the lobby on the 13th floor, with only a few dozen scattered here and there. These people were sitting there, either lost in thought, whispering to others, or drinking by themselves, but no one was playing chess.

Yue Honglian glanced at them and felt that these people were very dignified, but they all looked strange.

As a direct disciple of Yuan Qinglian, although Yue Honglian went out for the first time, he was very familiar with all the major earth immortals in Zhongzhou. Even if you have never met the person, you have always seen the image of the other person.

Yue Honglian didn't realize that there was an Earth Immortal, which made her even more courageous. She chose a seat and sat down. She raised her voice and said, "This little girl is not talented. I want to find a chess master to teach me. I don't know who is willing to teach me."

Everyone here seemed not to hear it, and no one paid any attention to Yue Honglian.

This made Yue Honglian a little embarrassed. She frowned slightly and said, "You are sitting on the thirteenth floor just to drink wine and tea?"

Still no one paid attention to her, which made Yue Honglian even more angry. What do these people mean, they look down on her?

"Aren't you afraid of me as a little girl?" Yue Honglian asked again.

A big man sitting near Yue Honglian glanced at her and said, "Little girl, if you want to play chess, go downstairs. Why bother here?"

Although he did not scold or scold, his words were quite rude.

Yue Honglian took a closer look at the big man. He had thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his skin was pale golden. Sitting there, he naturally had a calm and calm demeanor. But I can't tell which cultivator he is.

Yue Honglian glanced sideways at the big man: "Who are you? I am so verbose, what can you do?"

The big man raised his eyebrows, and his aura suddenly became cold and stern, which made Yue Honglian's heart tighten suddenly.

But the big man quickly put away his anger. He sighed and said, "Damn, it's so boring to compete with a little girl."

Everyone nearby laughed, but everyone smiled with a bitter look on their face.

Yue Honglian looked very strange and didn't know what was wrong with these people. She has always been bold, and with Yuan Qinglian standing in front of her, she is not afraid of anything.

She said: "Since this is the case, what are you afraid of when playing chess?"

The big man sneered: "I'm just too lazy to bully children."

"Haha, then you must have that ability..."

Yue Honglian shook her finger at the big man: "If you're not convinced, come and give it a try."

"Fine."

The big man said: "When I have nothing to do, I just have fun bullying the kids."

Yue Honglian smiled proudly, and she didn't say a word. She just held back her energy to teach the big man a lesson.

As a result, the chessboard was unfolded, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Yue Honglian was killed and suffered a disastrous defeat.

The big man pushed the chessboard and said nothing. It seemed that winning against Yue Honglian was not worth mentioning to him at all.

Yue Honglian's face turned pale. She lowered her head and reviewed the situation on her own, but she couldn't find the opponent's weakness. All her options were firmly restrained by the opponent, and there was no hope of victory.

This can only mean one thing, the other party's soul is much more powerful than hers. After all, Beast Fighting Chess is based on the power of the soul. No matter how powerful the chess player is, if the opponent's soul power is not as strong as the opponent, they will be defeated.

Yue Honglian was a little unconvinced by the loss, but she knew that the power of the man's soul was too strong, and she had no hope of winning.

He could only change his target and find a skinny old man in black clothes. The old man was not as fierce as the big man, but his chess moves were as dense as a net. After a battle, he killed Yue Honglian and wiped out his entire army.

Yue Honglian was not convinced and mustered up the courage to fight again. After losing three games in a row, her face was as white as paper when she was killed, and all the energy in her heart was wiped out.

She sat there in a state of confusion, dumbfounded, with a blank look in her eyes.

"Why are there so many chess masters in the world? Is my chess skills so poor or my cultivation is too poor..."

Yue Honglian has always been competitive since she was little. She rarely loses, let alone such a disastrous defeat.

For a moment, she had strong doubts about herself.

As a sword cultivator, the most important thing is to have an indestructible sword spirit. Yue Honglian had doubts about herself, and even shaken the foundation of her soul.

The big man and the old man in black noticed Yue Honglian's strange movements, but they didn't care.

The others looked like they were watching the fun, and no one cared whether something happened to Yue Honglian.

Li Xiulian saw that something was wrong with Yue Honglian, but didn't know how to help. She also felt that the group of people on the thirteenth floor were really weird and dangerous. She quietly urged the Qinglian Sword Order.

The Qinglian Sword Order can directly alarm the master Yuan Qinglian. Li Xiulian was afraid that something was wrong and could not care about anything else.

A green lotus flower suddenly appeared above the hall. The lotus flower opened in layers, and a woman in green clothes walked out of the green lotus.

The woman in green clothes has her hair in a bun and her face is covered with a veil. Only her green and clear eyes can be seen through the veil. The woman in green is tall and slender, carrying a long sword on her back. The plain hand inside her long sleeves also held a snow-white whisk.

Seeing the woman in green appear, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

The woman in green glanced at everyone and finally landed on Yue Honglian. She raised the dust in her hand and lightly swept it across Yue Honglian's face.

Yue Honglian woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists to salute: "Disciple has met Master."

The woman in green said calmly: "You are out of character, so it's good to suffer some setbacks."

Yue Honglian's face was full of shame: "This disciple is incompetent and has brought shame to the master."

"It's not your fault either."

The woman in green looked at the group of people in the room and said disdainfully: "It's not a shame to lose to the Demon Emperor."

She then said to Angzang Han and others: "You group of demon kings are squatting here like bereaved dogs. Is it interesting?

"The majestic Celestial Corpse and Ancestor Xian Kong also bullied my little apprentice. You are really capable."

The big man Angzang looked very ugly, but he didn't say anything.

The old man in black laughed dryly and said: "Don't blame me, Master Sword. The little girl is so angry that she insists on challenging. Let's play with her..."

He paused for a moment and then said: "Gao Xuan is so cruel that he has turned the Eight Wastelands into a wasteland. This person is greedy and will soon march into Zhongzhou. Why doesn't the Sword Master eliminate this big problem for the world..."
