C37 Life and Death Chess

As the rain of smoke dispersed, the light suddenly appeared.

The world in front of Lin Xiu suddenly changed, revealing the stone stairs leading to a higher place.

Without even thinking, he took a big step up, probably climbing up another 50 levels of stone steps. The stone steps started to emit a faint green light, and waves of pressure started to envelop Lin Xiu.

Finally, Lin Xiu was forced to stop. At this moment, the stone steps he was on happened to be the 33rd step.

A deafening voice came from the stone steps, "Mountain climber, the heavens and earth are heartless to all living things. If people bullied you or humiliated you, what would happen?"

Lin Xiu said without thinking, "Since the heavens and earth are heartless, I shall persuade people to be good. When people bully me, I will return it tenfold."

After saying that, the world once again fell into silence, and no sound came out for a long time. Lin Xiu didn't know if his answer satisfied the unknown existence, but he knew very clearly in his heart that this was the road he was going to take.

This was something that no one could change, but if someone dared to bully him, he would definitely reward them with hundreds of different colors. Of course, if he had enough strength, then no one would dare to bully him.

After this question and answer, Lin Xiu felt that his mind was very clear. He had a general idea of the path he would walk in the future.

Lord Fenghuo had told him before that if the world had any ill intentions towards him, he would endure it for the time being. When he had enough power to change everything, he would return all the suffering he had endured back to the world.

If someone does not offend me, then I will not offend them. If anyone offends me, then a fist will be thrown out!

Unknowingly, the stone steps began to turn bright yellow. When the light fell on a person's body, it felt warm.

Lin Xiu, who was enveloped by the light, felt that his injuries from executing Traceless Wind were rapidly recovering. Even his Yuan Li was slowly filling up again.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, his injuries had mostly healed. His elemental energy had also recovered to its peak, and there was even a hint of improvement.

Lin Xiu sighed at the strangeness of this place. He looked at the end of the stone steps with determination. He suddenly wanted to see the scenery at the top of the mountain. It wasn't a treasure, he just wanted to have a look.

After adjusting his breathing rhythm, Lin Xiu walked forward with firm steps like a young god surrounded by yellow light.

Star Shift. This stone step seemed to never end. Lin Xiu continued to walk like this.

After an unknown amount of time, a chessboard suddenly appeared in front of him. The two people playing chess on both sides of the board looked extremely ordinary; one was dressed in a white robe, and even his hair was snow-white, while the other was completely black. His face was also covered by a layer of black fog, making it difficult to see him clearly.

The two of them ignored Lin Xiu, who suddenly appeared, and bitterly thought about the situation on the board.

Lin Xiu had already lost his sense of time as he walked aimlessly on the stone steps. It was just that he was walking alone all the way, so he couldn't help but be curious as he saw the two weird old men playing chess. He stopped walking and silently stood behind the white-robed old man, watching the game.

"Tartarus, why are you so stubborn. Is admitting defeat really so difficult?" The white-robed old man finally broke the silence of the game, and he couldn't help but speak as he looked at the black-robed man in front of him.

The voice of the black cloaked person seemed to come from the ninth layer of hell, causing Lin Xiu to shiver all over, "Bai Sou, why do you ask when you already know the answer? My Netherworld Palace has been passed down for tens of thousands of years already, and there are countless geniuses within that period of time. We spent so much time to obtain a hint of a chance to breakthrough, so how can we yield? "

His awe-inspiring aura shot up to the sky as he yelled towards the black-robed men in a loud voice, "Ridiculous, using the lives of countless people from the Immortal Martial Continent as the price in exchange for a hint of a chance at a breakthrough. How are your actions any different from those of the Devil Dao?"

"Hehe, Bai Sou, my Netherworld Palace is a demonic way, what can you do to me?" But Tartarus didn't care in the slightest.

"Impudent! Since that's the case, let's use this as a game of chess to determine the life and death of our disciples. We will use our lives as the wager, and don't drag the lives of our disciples into this." After Bai Sou said this, he waved his sleeve and the chessboard on the stone table suddenly lit up. A powerful attraction came from the chessboard and sucked the two of them into it.

Lin Xiu, who was standing at the side, looked at the empty space in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned. These stone steps were too strange. However, for some reason, Lin Xiu, who was also on the board, was not involved.

From their words, Lin Xiu also understood that the black-robed Nine Hell was definitely the master of the Netherworld Palace. In order to achieve a goal, he wanted to bury all the living beings on the continent, and in order to avoid being annihilated, the white-robed old man used his supernatural power to build a life-and-death game, using the fate of the two of them to decide the fate of the world.

Was this really what had just happened? Lin Xiu could not believe it, the scene just now was too unbelievable.

Just then, the magnificent voice that had just appeared once again rang in Lin Xiu's ears: "Don't doubt it, this really happened, but it happened a thousand years ago. All you see is the projection of time. "

"Then what was the final result? Who exactly won? " Lin Xiu said.

"Now that you are still alive, naturally, the white-robed old man won. Back then, Bai Sou used all his strength and his entire body's cultivation to turn the Nine Nether Town into a chess board. It's a pity that Jiu You's strength is just too strong. A hundred years ago, his Spirit Body used all its strength and still managed to escape. " The voice boomed once more.

"Isn't this the inheritance of the Netherworld Palace? Why do I feel that you are aligned with Elder Bai Sou? Who exactly are you? " Lin Xiu, however, felt that something was amiss.

"Back then, this place was indeed an inheritance of the Netherworld Palace. In order to avoid the eyes of other sects, Jiu You secretly came to this place in order to break through. However, Bai Sou still found him and the two of them played a game of Life and Death. Although Bai Sou has successfully sealed Jiu You, the Devil Dao has always been a cunning and cunning person. He was worried that Jiu You might have some tricks up his sleeve, so he left something behind. "

"What backup?"

"Although this is the place where Netherworld Palace was passed down, it has been quietly changed by Bai Sou. Other than the normal methods of Netherworld Palace when you first stepped in, the sword rain and sea of flames later on, were all left behind by Bai Sou."

"Little guy, listen. Right now, Jiu You should have already returned to his Netherworld Palace. He has definitely been recovering his strength for the past hundred years. I have a premonition that even though he had no time to observe the changes in this place when he escaped, he will definitely come back to investigate once he recovers.

It was only after a long while did he finally speak again, "Netherworld Palace is the most evil force on the continent. With your current strength, you simply cannot pass the last barrier, and you might even die here. I believe that you also don't want to see the continent be annihilated in the future, so continue to move forward. Once you reach the end of the stone steps, I will gift you with good fortune that will not lose to Netherworld Palace. Of course, since Bai Sou had left a trump card in this trial, this trial will be completely different from before. It is roughly equivalent to the extent that you have to pass the eighth trial of Netherworld Palace.
