Chapter 161: Pursuit

middle-aged man. Compared to other merchants, he looked more like a scholar.Compared to his subordinates who displayed a hotheaded and impatient demeanor, he was much more composed and collected.Even...When Jiang Wang reviewed the situation last night, he saw that the Ziwu, Yu Tu, and Tiemu tribes were subtly forming a pincer movement against the Chi Lei tribe. He therefore concluded that these three tribes would take action today.

At that time, people were gloating over the Chinghuo Yuanchen's misfortune, believing that the Chi Lei Department would be brought down today and might even be eliminated.

But now, both the Zhi Wen department and the Tie Mu department have disappeared, and as the two chess masters' extraterrestrial beings, their life or death is unknown.

Jiang Wang searched carefully again and finally found the yellow light spot representing the Yuan Tu tribe far from the Chi Lei tribe.

The Fang Chong of the Four Seas Business Alliance is still here! He has only retreated, he has not been eliminated.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

He was certainly not overly concerned about Fang Chong. Instead, Fang Chong's escape probably illustrated one thing: Lei Zhanqian's strength was indeed formidable, but not so overwhelming as to be despairing, not so powerful that Fang Chong couldn't even escape.

As for the confrontation between Lei Zhanyan and Jiang Wuxie the day before, Jiang Wuxie only escaped with his life, which doesn't tell us much. After all, no matter how hostile or competitive they are, Jiang Wuxie is still the prince of Daqi. Lei Zhanyan probably wouldn't have the guts to kill him.

From the myriad of lights on the Covenant of Power, there are now sixty-three teams remaining in the grand game of life and death.

One hundred teams started from the four directions of the Death Chessboard, heading towards the center point. After two and a half days, more than one-third of the teams had been eliminated.

What deserves the most attention is always the Akarenbō.

Last night when it turned dark, the Red Thunder Department was at 312 units. Now it is at 413 units. It has advanced by 101 units.

At first glance, it doesn't seem as significant as the Qinghuo Department's advance of 180 positions.

But the speed of Chi Lei's department was achieved under the siege of three divisions: Zhi Wen, Yuan Tu, and Tie Mu! This is terrifying.

After breaking through three encirclements, who else dares to block the way

If the road were flat, how fast would it be Would the Kei Fire Tribe still have a chance to catch up

"Not enough." Jiang Wang looked at the King's Contract, shaking his head as he walked: "I need you to advance at maximum speed."

He felt a sense of urgency.

All of the Celebrate Fire warriors ran without hesitation.

This line mainly relies on Jiang Wang. Their role is inherently "Rule Vision," and they are unwilling to become a burden under any circumstances.

Actually, if we disregard other factors, if the leader possesses extraordinary skill, traveling alone would undoubtedly be faster.

But the reality is that many factors cannot be ignored.

The first reason is that the rules of the game of Life and Death Chess dictate that all positions within the board must be filled before entering. Exiting the game comes only in two ways: death in battle or the entire team withdrawing together. There's no scenario where some members exit while others remain. Even if the leader proceeds alone with the rest of the team trailing behind, this is not possible. Ultimately, the central point can only be reached when the "entire team" arrives. Those who arrive first must also wait for those who arrive later.

When the fire blazed, the first thing he did was choose several old men to accompany Jiang Wang into the game of life and death. His plan was to have Jiang Wang watch them die, allowing him to go through with it easily.

But this is actually not the best solution. The reason lies in the second point factor.

In the game of Go, relying solely on the player's perspective can be too limited. It's very possible that they won't discover "life points" and might even miss them completely. Even with exceptional skill, if luck is not on their side, they may only fade away in the night of the life-or-death game.

The third factor is that for evenly matched opponents, the difference between going first and second is huge. The size of the "rule vision" range sometimes decides the outcome of a battle.

At the tail end of these teams, Jiang Wang might be able to rely on his strength to even things out. In the final stage of competition, facing people like Lei Zhanqian, he absolutely cannot fall behind in terms of "rule perspective."

These three points were the reasons he insisted on moving forward with the whole team.

Finally, he glanced at the blue light point on the King's Authority Contract representing the Pure Water Department. Li Fengyao had now advanced a total of 387 places.

Jiang Wang put away the King's Contract, ending this opportunity to observe his opponent's position.

The Celebration Fire Department marched forward rapidly. Along the way, no matter what obstacles they encountered, Jiang Wang slashed through them all with his sword. They moved almost without hesitation, not stopping even once to let the team rest for a moment.

As they were walking, an indescribable power suddenly descended upon them.

Jiang Wang's figure froze, the scenes on both sides began to retreat continuously.

Jiang Wang remained silent, silently calculating the distance. In a game of life and death, the rules of the game were something he couldn't refuse.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the counting process, he retreated twenty chess positions backward in total before ending this "retreat".

But his team was still standing in place.

Jiang Wang's worries still came to pass.

The rapid advance of the Qihuo team was noticed by other teams at the rear, so some teams chose to delay them after passing through the pass, directly pushing back the leader of the Qihuo team, namely Jiang Wang himself, twenty positions.

Some teams have no ambition to move forward, they just want to be ranked slightly higher at the bottom.

This kind of setback is not merely a retreat on the chessboard; obstacles that have been overcome in the past will reappear, and they need not adhere to the rules of a chess game where everything is restored at night.

That is to say, Jiang Wang needs to clear the obstacles of these twenty people.

Without complaining, without cursing, not even a hint of anger.

>

Jiang Wang just moved forward again, sword out, sword slashing, striding forward.

It's perfectly normal to feel upset in competition.

He even had a plan for this situation, and when the main player “retreated,” the rest followed previous orders, contracting their defenses in place to guard against any possible attack.

Jiang Wang quickly reopened these twenty chess positions and rushed back to rejoin the warriors of the Qing Huo department.

The opponent made a mistake, dragging either a chess piece or a chariot back twenty positions. This would be more advantageous than dragging Jiang Wang back because it would force Jiang Wang to turn around and lead troops, unless the dragged individual committed suicide. Otherwise, the Qinghuo Department would need to waste even more time.

But Jiang Wang wasn't planning to forgive him just because of this mistake.

"Everyone spread out and widen your field of vision," Jiang Wang ordered as soon as he returned to his original position. "According to the rules we encountered on the stele before, if they choose to delay us, they must be within the top hundred. Find them!"

Finding the Leibu team wasn't difficult. The life and death chess game had been going on for two and a half days. At this point, the only teams still able to fight with the Qinghuo department were undoubtedly powerful ones. Compared to Jiang Wang and his team, their speed was extremely slow.

"I see!" Qing Huoyuanchen roared angrily.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Jiang Wang directly shot away with a flame meteor, his form manifesting in the midst of this group's terrified gazes.

No words were spoken, just a sword strike.

Jiang Wang fully understood the behavior of this group of people, but only to that extent.

He has already killed the chicken to warn the monkeys, but the monkeys are still not afraid. Then he can only kill the monkeys.

A place like a chessboard of life and death is no different from a battlefield. He can't waste too much time entangled with these tail-end teams.

It is necessary to establish sufficient deterrence to prevent other teams from delaying the Fireworks Department, so that we can maintain our forward momentum and have a chance of competing for first place.

Otherwise, you'll just struggle in the mire and watch as the winners emerge from the first tier.

The members of the Qihuo tribe were in luck. After annihilating this detachment, they quickly found a "supply point".

To occupy the "growth point" is to have the confidence that one will never be eliminated today.

The Covenant of Kings recorded this "life point", and the team continued onward.

Jiang Wang didn't consider how to restrain the speed of the Chi Lei department, because no matter what, he couldn't affect them temporarily. He did his best within his capabilities.

Leave the rest to others!

The Department of Celebration Fire, within the Hearth Shrine.

The warriors guarding the stone tablet chessboard reported on the progress of the life-and-death game, but Qing Huo Heng remained silent.

Although the team seemed to be doing very well and moving at a rapid pace, he couldn't find any joy in it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Have you heard anything from the Wu Zhi Di Ku yet" he asked.

Another warrior shook his head and said, "The gate hasn't opened yet. They are probably still fighting."

"Let people wait."

Qing Hu'heng's bristly beard trembled.

Although the duration of the Life and Death Chess match is often the most active period for the Star Beasts of the Underground Cave. Battles that last endlessly are not uncommon.

But for some reason, a feeling of unease lingered in his heart.ocking above, this time both claws were launched simultaneously, clashing blades!With the cunning of a three-headed serpent, since choosing today to encircle and kill Pi Fang, they certainly had made...
