What?

God’s Hand?

Jin Mulan and Daoist Wu were immediately shocked when they heard this!

They thought, this is impossible!

After all, God’s Hand was a legend!

The two of them were deeply suspicious.

Then, they carefully looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

Their expressions suddenly changed!

“It’s really God’s Hand!” Daoist Wu cried out in surprise.

His face was filled with shock.

Because one of Lu Tianyu’s chess pieces was actually the entire board of chess pieces.

And it even completely reversed the disadvantaged situation.

If this wasn’t God’s Hand, then what was it?

Daoist Wu was dumbfounded.

And at this moment, Elder Zhou’s expression was even more solemn. His gaze was dull and deep.

After a long time, only then did he let out a long sigh and said, “This round, this old man lost.”

Lu Tianyu didn’t say anything.

He thought to himself, ‘If you want to play chess with me, how can you not lose?’

Elder Zhou sized up the youth and asked, “Little friend, do you really not have a master?”

‘Master?’

‘Do I still need a Master?’

‘It doesn’t exist.’

Lu Tianyu said, “No, I just read a few chess books in my spare time.”

“What a genius.”

Elder Zhou couldn’t help but sigh, and then he praised, “In terms of chess strength, little friend, I’m afraid you’re already unparalleled in the world.”

When Jin Mulan heard this, she was shocked.

Unrivaled in the world?

Elder Zhou actually evaluated him like this?

Jin Mulan’s heart could not help but tremble.

After all, just this evaluation alone was enough to show that Lu Tianyu’s chess skills had already reached the peak of perfection.

Jin Mulan looked at Lu Tianyu, and her eyes flickered.

At this moment, Lu Tianyu smiled modestly and said, “Elder Zhou, you flatter me. I was just lucky.”

Elder Zhou smiled.

This little friend was very modest and not bad.

He had played chess before.

Jin Mulan stated her purpose of coming here and wanted to ask Elder Zhou to come out.

However, she was directly rejected by Elder Zhou.

Therefore, Jin Mulan’s heart could not help but sink.

At this moment.

Daoist Wu smiled and said, “Mulan, don’t be disappointed. After all, there is still a way to get Elder Zhou to come out.”

Jin Mulan’s bright eyes immediately lit up as she asked, “Grandpa Wu, what’s the way?”

Wu Daozi said, “The way is in Mount Hua.”

Lu Tianyu and Jin Mulan were confused.

What the hell?

In Mount Hua?

What did this have to do with Mount Hua?

The two of them were dumbfounded.

Daoist Wu smiled and explained, “The reason why Old Man Zhou lives in seclusion here and doesn’t care about the affairs of the world is because he once made an oath.”

Lu Tianyu was interested and asked, “What oath?”

Daoist Wu said, “At the peak of Mount Hua, there is a cave abode called the Vault of Heaven Cave abode. There is an incomplete chess game in it, and no one has been able to solve it for thousands of years.”

“Back then, Old Man Zhou came here to live in seclusion and made an oath. He said that if he couldn’t solve this incomplete chess game in his life, he would never leave the realm of Mount Hua for the rest of his life.”

“So, if you can solve this game of chess, maybe this old man will take over again,” Daoist Wu said.

“Oh?”

Lu Tianyu exclaimed and looked at Old Man Zhou, asking, “Old Man Zhou, is what Old Man Wu said true?”

Old Man Zhou was silent for a while and said, “It is true. How about this? If you can solve this game of chess, then I will fulfill one of your wishes.”

“Yes!”

Lu Tianyu heard, smiled.

Solving a puzzle. Easy.

…

The summit of Mount Hua.

Vault of Heaven Cave.

Lu Tianyu entered among them.

Seeing the chess remnant game that Old Man Zhou was talking about, Lu Tianyu was sitting on the stone chair, looking at this mess, deep in thought.

Elder Zhou, Daoist Wu, and Jin Mulan saw this and did not bother him anymore.

They returned to the courtyard at the foot of the hill.

One night passed.

Just like that.

Lu Tianyu looked at the game without moving, his brows tightly knitted together.

This game was indeed difficult to crack.

Even if his chess skills were unparalleled in the world, he wouldn’t be able to crack it in a short time.

‘There is always someone better than me. The person who set up this game is definitely better than me,’ Lu Tianyu thought to himself.

He stared at the chessboard and continued to work on his calculations.

At the foot of the mountain.

The dew was glowing with the glow of the morning sun.

Jin Mulan got up and stretched her body. Her figure revealed a beautiful curve and was extremely alluring.

“Lu Tianyu, will you succeed?”

Jin Mulan looked up at the peak of Mount Hua and muttered to herself.

But in the next moment, in front of the small courtyard, a woman dressed in a fiery red dress suddenly appeared.

The woman held a jade flute in her hand. On it was engraved the image of an evil fire phoenix.

Upon seeing this image.

Jin Mulan’s pretty face changed.

“You are from the Imperial Demon Dynasty!”

Jin Mulan immediately took out her spiritual weapon, the Burning Sword, from her Sumeru Ring.

She looked at the woman in front of her with vigilance.

The woman smiled seductively and said, “General Jin, you have good eyesight.”

Jin Mulan said warily, “What are you people from the Imperial Demon Dynasty doing here?”

The woman smiled and said, “I’m here to eliminate Zhou Airen on the orders of others.”

Jin Mulan’s pretty face darkened.

As smart as she was, she quickly came up with a possibility.

“It seems that Mo Hailong’s spies are in the military camp,” Jin Mulan said in a low voice.

The woman didn’t comment and just smiled.

At this moment, Elder Zhou and Daoist Wu walked out of the room.

“Take the gift that King Kang prepared for you!”

The woman smiled coldly.

When the jade flute was played, the distant mountains shook!

It was like the call of the distant mountains.

It woke up countless sleeping demonic beasts.

The sound of the flute traveled thousands of miles.

The earth shook.

Tens of thousands of demonic beasts rushed over quickly.

Some of them were comparable to Earth Origin realm demon kings.

Their auras were terrifying.

Even Lu Tianyu, who was at the peak of Mount Hua, could feel it.

“What happened?” Lu Tianyu murmured and took out the Kunlun Mirror to check.

“So many demons?”

Lu Tianyu was shocked. Tens of thousands of demon beasts were attacking Jin Mulan and the other two crazily at the foot of the mountain.

Blood was everywhere.

The three of them were already injured to different degrees.

With one look, it was obvious that Jin Mulan and the other two could not hold on much longer.

“You little brat, how dare you behave atrociously in front of your Grandpa Tianyu?”

Lu Tianyu snorted coldly.

The Primal Chaos Spiritual Treasure, the Nine Heavens God-Slaying Spear, appeared in his hand.

Lu Tianyu shouted in a low voice, “Go!”

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart could be heard.

The God-Slaying Spear broke through the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

In the next moment.

A ray of light filled with killing intent fell from the sky and surged in front of the demonic beasts.

The ray of light surged.

It was as fast as lightning.

In just an instant, the God-Slaying Spear pierced through the tens of thousands of demonic beasts and finally pierced through the coquettish woman from the Imperial Demon Dynasty.

The wind howled.

The coquettish woman looked at the bloody hole in her chest in disbelief.

From the beginning to the end, she didn’t see clearly what the flowing light full of killing intent was.

Her body fell down, gradually turning cold, and she died with her eyes wide open.

As for Jin Mulan and the other two, their faces were full of shock and bewilderment.

They looked at the corpses of tens of thousands of demon beasts at the foot of Mount Hua.

They fell into a great confusion and shock.

“What happened just now?” Jin Mulan muttered with a dull gaze.

‘Could it be that an expert helped her?’

Daoist Wu and Zhou Airen thought to themselves.

Then, the three of them raised their heads to look at the sky.

The flowing light filled with murderous intent had long disappeared from the sky.

The sky was as clear as jade.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

The three of them fell into a daze.

They were so shocked that they didn’t know what to do.

“Who exactly was the expert who saved us?”

…

On the peak of Mount Hua.

Lu Tianyu slowly wiped the blood off the God-Slaying Spear, the corners of his mouth turning cold.

Then, he put the God-Slaying Spear back into the system space and continued to solve this game.

“A bunch of petty people…”

Lu Tianyu’s disdainful voice echoed in the quiet environment.
