"Is this the endgame you set up?" Lin Yun looked at the chess formation with an expressionless face, a glint flashing in his eyes, as if he could see the trend of every move in the future.
Lin Yun deduced the entire chess game in his mind, instantly imagining ten thousand different possibilities, and then eliminated them one by one to find the only feasible step.
"Ten steps."
Lin Yun stretched out a finger and said calmly: "I only need ten steps to break your endgame."
The palace hall fell silent instantly.
All the civil and military officials present looked at Lin Yun with dumbfounded eyes.
"Ten...ten steps? I...did I hear correctly?"
"He actually said that it only takes ten steps to break the trapped dragon formation that no one has cracked so far? What kind of joke is this!"
"I saw that he defeated Shangguan Yongqi by accident, so he became extremely confident and regarded himself as a master strategist."
All civil and military officials in the audience were not optimistic about Lin Yun, but Nangong Yan was the only one who was full of expectations for Lin Yun.
"Can I start?" Lin Yun ignored the ridicule of the civil and military officials and asked Shangguan Qianbi in a calm tone.
"Of course." Shangguan Qianbi stretched out one hand forward in a gesture of invitation.
All the civil and military officials looked at Lin Yun with amusement on their faces, as if they were looking forward to Lin Yun being stumped.
But who knew that Lin Yun didn't even think about it, he just grabbed the chess piece and threw it away.
Everyone almost choked when they saw this. Faced with such a tricky endgame, even the great scholar Murong Takuhai had to think twice before acting.
He, Lin Yun, still didn't even think about it, so he just decisively made the move. If it wasn't a random move, no one would believe it.
"I advise you to think clearly before playing chess. If you play chess without thinking like this, you will only lose faster." Shangguan Qianbi persuaded Lin Yun and then placed a blue chess piece on the chessboard.
It's not that he despises Lin Yun, but because in his opinion, the trapped dragon formation is a dead end that cannot be solved.
Faced with Shangguan Qianbi's warm reminder, Lin Yun still went his own way and played the game without thinking.
Shangguan Qianbi thought he was sure of victory, so he followed the chess game very casually.
The two of them went back and forth like this, making several moves in a row.
The more Shangguan Qianbi moved, the more he felt something was wrong. Every move Lin Yun made seemed like a dangerous move. It seemed that after taking this move, there would be no way to go next.
However, when it comes to the next step, Lin Yun can always turn danger into safety and survive from desperate situations.
Shangguan Qianbi also gradually became more vigilant from being casual at first.
He finally began to realize that Lin Yun was definitely not messing up. There must be something fishy hidden in his seemingly messy layout.
It's just that Shangguan Qianbi is stupid and has not seen what Lin Yun is planning so far.
With doubts and guesses, Shangguan Qianbi unknowingly played two moves against Lin Yun.
When the ninth move was completed, Shangguan Qianbi's face suddenly froze, and he showed an extremely shocked expression.
Because he suddenly realized that the seemingly hopeless red chess piece looked more and more like a strange formation.
But what exactly is this array?
Shangguan Qianbi began to panic, and cold sweat continued to break out on his face.
He is proficient in chess and strategy, but he can't even understand the chess game in front of him!
Compared to Shangguan Qianbi's panic, the expression on Lin Yun's face remained calm as usual.
Lin Yun flicked his finger, and a red chess piece flew out from his finger, like a deadly dagger, inserted into the vital spot in the center of the chessboard.
When the chess pieces settled, the entire chessboard trembled slightly, and all the red chess pieces instantly lit up.
The lights of the chess pieces are connected with each other to form a complex pattern. Like a majestic dragon, it breaks through the siege of the blue chess piece and defeats the blue chess piece one by one.
Lin Yun's last move was like the finishing touch, turning into the eyes of a majestic dragon.
Shangguan Qianbi's eyes were as wide as those of an ox, and he stared at the chessboard with shocking eyes, staring at the secret formation composed of red flags.
The trapped dragon formation he formed with blue chess pieces was completely disintegrated by the formation in front of him.
The dead end that no one had been able to solve for ten years was perfectly solved by the young man in front of him.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Shangguan Qianbi instantly became decadent, like a gambler who lost everything.
He lost!
He was at the pinnacle of chess skills and strategy, but he lost to a young man who was inexperienced in the field he was best at.
And he lost so miserably, so shockingly!
Ten steps.
In just ten steps, he was defeated by this young man.
Is this more than a shame?
This is simply a fatal blow to him!
"Shangguan Qianbi actually...lost?"
"The trapped dragon formation that has not been cracked for ten years was cracked by Lin Yun just like that! You are really not dreaming, are you?"
"Lin Yun not only cracked the trapped dragon formation, but he also only used ten steps... How could such a thing happen? I must be dreaming!"
All this was so incredible that everyone felt like a dream.
Even Taishan Beidou, a master of chess skills and strategies like Shangguan Qianbi, lost.
Who else?
I wonder who else in the entire Southern Xia Kingdom can compete with Lin Yun in chess?
Amid everyone's exclamations, Nangong Yan stared at Lin Yun intently, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
This was the first time she had seen a genius with both wisdom and courage like Lin Yun.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Shangguan Yongqi asked worriedly when Shangguan Qianbi didn't respond for a long time.
When he first lost to Lin Yun, Shangguan Yongqi was still ashamed. But at this time, he had no shame in his heart, only deep shock.
Because even his grandfather lost to Lin Yun, which shows that Lin Yun and he are not at the same level at all. Therefore, it is natural for him to lose to Lin Yun, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Shangguan Qianbi did not respond to Shangguan Yongqi’s inquiry.
He was still staring blankly at the chessboard, looking at the exquisite layout like a dragon, his eyes became more and more obsessed, as if he was admiring an extremely beautiful work of art.
And there was only one thought left in his mind at this time.
wonderful.
It’s really wonderful!
No matter from which angle you look at it, the layout of this formation is exquisite.
No matter which chess piece is arranged, it is wonderful and fascinating like art.
It was only at this moment that Shangguan Yongqi suddenly discovered that the trapped dragon formation he had set up could be broken in this way.
His whole body was trapped in the wonderful layout, completely addicted to it and unable to extricate himself. It was as if he had forgotten that he had lost to a young man, and he did not feel ashamed at all.
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen such an exquisite layout. It's so wonderful, it's simply... wonderful!"
Shangguan Yongqi felt as if he had found a treasure, touching each glowing red chess piece with his fingers, loving it like a mother caring for her baby: "The world has such a perfect layout..."
As he spoke, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Seventy years!
After seventy years, he finally saw the perfect layout he had dreamed of.
At this moment, he suddenly felt sad that the previous seventy years had been in vain.
After hearing Shangguan Qianbi's sigh, all the civil and military officials present were once again deeply shocked.
This was the first time in their history that they saw Shangguan Qianbi so excited.
Is this really the knowledgeable Shangguan Qianbi?
It is simply unimaginable what kind of layout would make him so excited.
