668: Whose side is luck on?

Lingjing did not answer him, and Dragon Subduing Arhat smiled nonchalantly, continuing to play chess with him.

Their movements were not as slow as those of a Mortal; after all, their cognitive abilities far exceeded those of the so-called chess masters in the Mortal world. The two traded moves, turning a single game of chess into a grand war.

However, even after being locked in a struggle for so long, neither was in a hurry to capture pieces. They strove to crush the other's forces at their maximum speed.

Yet, as the game progressed, Lingjing became increasingly astonished. The monk's chess skills seemed to be just a little bit better than his own, and that persistent, entangling style of play was truly annoying...

"Is it really as simple as you just knowing a little?" Lingjing couldn't help but frown slightly.

"I've been playing chess with formidable figures recently, so I've made a little progress!" Dragon Subduing Arhat chuckled. "Excuse my poor skills... Oh, since you've asked me again, do you still want to know what I mentioned earlier?"

"No!" Lingjing kept his head down and placed a piece.

"Sigh, actually, knowing it would only benefit you, after all..." Dragon Subduing Arhat suddenly sneered. "After all, you are about to die on this chessboard!"

"What did you..." The white piece in Lingjing's hand almost fell to the ground because he saw that after Dragon Subduing Arhat's black piece landed, the situation on the entire board had undergone a completely different change...

"...Are you playing with me? Your Go skills... are more than just a cut above mine!"

Cold sweat broke out on Lingjing. He could not think of any way to break this game of chess, and he had no idea how to proceed. "Playing the pig to eat the tiger? You did this on purpose, didn't you? From the very beginning, you knew how I would move!"

Dragon Subduing Arhat curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I don't bother with petty tricks, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to use them. To tell you the truth, I've known about your intelligence for a long time..."

Recalling what Panda had said to him a few days ago, Dragon Subduing Arhat couldn't help but inwardly sigh at the correctness of his decision.

"Among the Seven Demon Generals, there is a very formidable character named Lingjing... He once fought the New Saint in the Void Realm... His methods were very strange, but unfortunately, he managed to escape in the end. This was because the New Saint was a bit too merciful and couldn't bear to see such a talent die just like that... His ability is..."

Abao was very familiar with this Lingjing, and he explained all the moves the opponent could use, especially regarding Go.

Dragon Subduing Arhat knew that Abao had arranged for him to deal with this enemy, so he had deliberately sought out Go masters in the Mortal world for special training. Especially the few matches he played with Old Prime Minister Wei Zheng had benefited him greatly. When he saw Lingjing today, he felt a bit amused and was truly happy about his wise decision.

"Don't look so gloomy!" Dragon Subduing Arhat chuckled. "Take your time thinking, I'm not in a hurry... Hmm, what I mentioned earlier... do you want to know?"

Lingjing finally raised his head and, with a gloomy face, asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Hehe, what I want to tell you is how the New Saint of the Original Universe attained sainthood! Do you know what Law he comprehended?" Dragon Subduing Arhat chuckled.

Lingjing fell silent. He suddenly thought of something terrifying!

According to rumors, when the New Saint fought the Alliance Leader, the Law he used was one that had never appeared since the beginning of the world.

That Law is called the Luck Law!

In other words, the Law he comprehended caused the Luck of the entire Universe to stand almost entirely on his side!

Cold sweat flowed from Lingjing's forehead to his chin, finally dripping onto the chessboard.

"The Luck of the Great Tang is at its zenith, and we have already bound ourselves to the war chariot of the Great Tang!"

Dragon Subduing Arhat chuckled. "Never mind that I specifically learned how to play Go for this; even if I didn't know how to play and just moved pieces randomly against you, you would still lose without a doubt!"

"Because Luck... is on your side?"

Lingjing suddenly threw the Go piece in his hand onto the board and smiled bitterly, helpless. "I... I admit defeat..."

"Hmm, do you have any other games to play? I can stay here and play with you for a day, but since you set the rules, there's really nothing I can do if you want to cheat!"

Dragon Subduing Arhat stood up and brushed off his backside. "Honestly, if it weren't to give you a wake-up call, I really wouldn't need to waste time here with you, because I am fully capable of walking out on my own... Unfortunately... the Law power I comprehended is also a Time Law, but it is the exact opposite of yours. My Time Law... is called Time Acceleration!"

Hum! The entire space suddenly trembled, and the frozen space instantly returned to normal. Lingjing hadn't even seen when Dragon Subduing Arhat had made his move.

"I don't want to kill you; after all, it's not good for a Buddhist Disciple to be too murderous. But if you continue to provoke us and continue to rampage through the Universe in the posture of invaders, believe me..."

Dragon Subduing Arhat sneered. "There's no need for me, a monk, to take action; you will still die a miserable death!"

In the blink of an eye, Dragon Subduing Arhat's figure had disappeared. Lingjing slowly raised his head, looking at the setting sun in the distance, feeling empty inside.

"Luck always stands on the side of the Great Tang. This war... how exactly should it be fought?"

...

Dragon Subduing Arhat flew a distance to the northwest and suddenly discovered two figures fighting earth-shatteringly not far from Chang'an.

"Ahahaha... Come again, come again! It's not easy to find a well-matched opponent to temper myself, how could I let you go!"

Tang Xian flew around in the sky, launching attacks that were like a tidal wave against a guy whose physique looked like a bodybuilder.

The bodybuilder crossed his arms, and a circle of something like an air wall seemed to form around him, blocking all of Tang Xian's attacks outside the Qi wall. However, he was also quite depressed; this was the first time he had encountered such a difficult opponent, and he had started fighting right from the get-go, not even giving him a chance to say any harsh words.

Tang Xian was having fun and simply used the pair of pistol-like weapons in his hands, directly infusing them with the power of the Death Law, and poured it out crazily towards the opponent as if they were bullets.

The bodybuilder's name was Alfred. He was the most senior among the Seven Demon Generals and had the strongest defense. His Law power was called the Boundary of Inviolability, a variant power combining Space Laws and Time Laws.

The so-called past can never catch up to the future. Upon entering his Law range, all attacks are treated as the past, while he himself is brought a few seconds into the future by the Time Law. In other words, no one can attack him within this boundary.

However, this category of "anyone" does not include those who are proficient in Laws.
