Shui Ruoqing was a little dull, smiled bitterly, and said, "Lin Fan, I will listen to you in everything."
At this moment, Shui Ruoqing was prepared for the worst. She knew that nothing could be done to stop it, but if something unexpected happened to her master, she would be willing to stay with him to apologize.
Hearing this, the old man burst out laughing and said, "Lin Fan, don't think that because you have so many chess pieces, you will definitely be my opponent."
"To tell you the truth, in the entire eternal chessboard, only this one chess piece is the key to victory or defeat. If you lose, you will definitely be doomed."
"Even if you win, you may not be able to escape unscathed. You will definitely follow in my footsteps. You can only continue to guard this chess piece here until tens of millions of years later, when a new guardian comes, you can Completely relieved.”
Lin Fan snorted coldly and said: "You are full of evil thoughts and not half-hearted. You don't even care about your apprentice's life and death. It's time for you to completely enter reincarnation."
"Aren't you very confident that you can defeat me? Then give it a try!"
Lin Fan took out the eternal chessboard, used his spiritual power, and placed chess pieces on such a chessboard, which turned into a new chess game.
Lin Fan knew very well that anyone who could truly become a guardian would definitely be a master of gaming.
Although the person in front of him was unkind and unjust, he still cared that the other person had some merits and was Shui Ruoqing and Xuanmu's master, so he was willing to be lenient.
As long as the old man can truly escape from this chess game, everything will happen as the old man said. Otherwise, the old man will disappear completely.
When all these obsessions are gone, the chess piece guarded by the old man will fall into the hands of the destined person.
Seeing all this, the old man snorted coldly and said, "What's so difficult about this, Lin Fan, you will definitely lose."
"Really? Let's see."
Lin Fan chose this method to play a game with the old man. Everyone looked at the chessboard, and no one dared to say anything.
After dozens of moves, the old man was finally at a disadvantage and said sternly: "We haven't decided the winner yet, so it doesn't mean we have the final result."
"That's it for today's chess game."
The old man knew in his heart that if he continued to play chess like this, he would definitely lose, and everything would be detrimental to him. He didn't want to see this happen, so he regretted it like this.
Lin Fan refused to give up and said: "This is not an ordinary chess game, this is an eternal chess board. Old man, you have no regrets when you make a move. From the beginning, there must be a victory or defeat before it can end."
The old man exerted his spiritual power and said: "Boy, what kind of place do you think this is? Can you be allowed to do whatever you want? I will completely make you lose your identity as a guardian. Let's see what else you can use to game?!"
The old man knew very well that winning or losing this game was very important to them. He had not lost in so many years, so how could he really give in so willingly?
Not to mention that the person he was playing against now was a strange guardian, even if it was his own disciple, he would never be merciful.
Shui Ruoqing was shocked. She never thought that her master, who always had no regrets, would use such a method at this time. She had no choice but to watch all this happen, so she could only stand in front of Lin Fan.
Tears flashed in Shui Ruoqing's eyes, and she said: "Master, you have always been clear about good and evil, and you would never hurt innocent people."
"I don't know what kind of difficulties you have, but I still believe that you are the master I am most familiar with."
"Master, you are not the guardian of the ancient treasure at all. There is no way you can always protect that chess piece, and you cannot always have such power."
"Everything has gains and losses. It may seem like you have gained true freedom, but in fact you will slowly be backlashed by such power."
"The evil spirit here is so strong. If you continue to be so persistent, it will be too late. I beg you, just give up."
If she really had the freedom to choose, Shui Ruoqing would rather be the one to bear all this, not Lin Fan, whom she has always trusted, nor the master whom she has always admired.
The old man snorted coldly and said: "You traitor, I have taken you in since you were a child and made you become so powerful. Is this how you repay me?"
"What kind of connection does this boy have with you, and he can actually make you betray the master for him? Then you can disappear from the world with him."
Without any hesitation, the old man used the power of the chess pieces to turn all of them into magic weapons and attacked them fiercely in the direction of everyone.
Seeing this, Lin Fan put up a barrier around the place and brought everyone inside the barrier. He went to deal with it all alone.
The power of the eternal chessboard is comparable to that of that chess piece. Everything here is affected by these powers, and suddenly the earth shakes.
Lin Fan did not admit defeat and took out the scroll of heaven and earth to barely stop all this, which was considered a slight advantage.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Old man, I believe you are a truly honorable gentleman and a very powerful person. Then you should keep your word."
"When push comes to shove, we people can still escape intact. With the scroll of heaven and earth as our backing, we can leave completely unscathed."
"But after all, you have lived here for so many years. This can also be said to be your home. No matter what happens, you can't escape."
"You'd better not do those impulsive things, otherwise you will be the only one who truly regrets it in the end."
"You have gone through hardships and worked hard to get this opportunity. Are you really willing to just give it up to others?"
Lin Fan was very cautious. He knew very well that the scene that happened just now was not what the old man expected to see. Even the old man could not imagine that this place could really collapse.
But thinking about it, the power of ancient treasures cannot be denied. If they are just ordinary people, how can they have so many powerful people and get the power of chess pieces by any means?
It was precisely because he knew the old man's inner thoughts that Lin Fan also saw the old man's panic just now, and was determined to do what happened next.
Sure enough, the old man hesitated, sighed softly, and said: "Well, since you have said so, I will give you another chance to finish this game of chess."
Rather than saying that the old man gave Lin Fan a chance, it is better to say that he was unwilling to perish and was willing to decide the winner according to the previous agreement.
Anyway, it’s not the end yet, and no one knows who can really win this game.
