King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 582 - 194: The Heng Mountain Journey: Shi Feiyang’s Good News and Tribute

Shi Feiyang dared not pause. He continued to observe the moving chess pieces, searching for the next foothold.

However, just as he was about to leap again, countless sharp stone spikes suddenly extended from the surrounding walls, thrusting toward him.

The stone spikes were lightning-fast, reaching right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Shi Feiyang’s figure flickered like a black lightning bolt, weaving through the gaps between the spikes to dodge them.

The Celestial Frost Blade in his hand swung continuously, cutting down the approaching spikes one by one, yet the endless spikes began to overwhelm him.

During his evasive actions, Shi Feiyang noticed that the stone slabs beneath his feet were starting to loosen, each step accompanied by their trembling.

He realized that every step could trigger new mechanisms, and time was slipping away to decipher this chessboard.

At that moment, the chess pieces within the Eight Trigrams Diagram abruptly accelerated, forming a complex labyrinth.

Shi Feiyang’s gaze was fixated on the trajectory of the pieces, his mind racing to find the key to breaking the mechanism.

Finally, he discovered a tiny flaw; at a certain moment in the pieces’ movement, a brief safe zone would appear.

Aiming for the moment, Shi Feiyang unleashed the Supreme Lightness Technique, shooting like a meteoric streak toward that safe zone.

Just as he was about to reach it, the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a bottomless black hole.

Shi Feiyang twisted his body in mid-air, tapping several times against the walls of the hole to stabilize himself through the counterforce.

He gazed downward, sensing a cold, eerie chill emanating from the black hole, as if it connected to the abyss of Hell.

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, leaped once more, and successfully landed in the safe zone.

As soon as he touched down, he heard a low rumbling sound, with the pieces in the Eight Trigrams Diagram starting to rearrange into a new pattern.

Simultaneously, the wall ahead slowly rose, revealing a deep tunnel. Shi Feiyang, wielding the Celestial Frost Blade, cautiously walked toward the passage, fully aware that a passive defense would never lead to long-term survival; he must quickly find the flaw in the mechanism.

By the faint light of the Celestial Frost Blade, Shi Feiyang gradually discerned that he was once again amidst a mysterious Underground Palace chessboard.

Was this the same Underground Palace chessboard as before, or a new one?

The surrounding walls were engraved with strange patterns and symbols, appearing even more bizarre under the reflected cold light.

The ground was paved with large stone slabs, each inscribed with peculiar lines, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura. Shi Feiyang knew well that this place was fraught with danger, and a single misstep would lead to inevitable doom.

At this moment, a sinister voice came from the darkness: "Shi Feiyang, entering this place is your doomsday! This Wu Clan Ancestral Mausoleum is filled with numerous traps, you won’t be able to escape!"

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly and replied sternly, "Lan Xiaodie, do you think this mere Underground Palace can trap me? Hmph! Today will be your end!" Shi Feiyang cautiously took a step forward, carefully observing the stone patterns on the ground.

Suddenly, he noticed that the arrangement of these tiles seemed to align with the numerology of the Nine Palaces of the Luo Shu.

His heart stirred, pondering to himself, "Could this be the key to deciphering the mechanism?"

However, before he could think deeply, the ground beneath him collapsed, causing Shi Feiyang to plunge downward. He quickly activated the Bright Jade Technique, stabilizing himself. During the descent, he noticed an additional layer of the Underground Palace below, filled with a more sinister and terrifying aura.

Upon landing, Shi Feiyang looked around.

He realized that it was another massive chessboard, but even larger in scale and more complex in layout than the upper level.

At this time, Lan Xiaodie’s voice sounded again: "Shi Feiyang, play with this Living Chessboard at your leisure! Every move according to the 28 lunar mansions will trigger different mechanisms; a misstep, and there is only a dead end!"

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath to calm himself.

He understood that only by thinking clearly could he find a way to survive.

Thus, Shi Feiyang wielded the Celestial Frost Blade, using it as a pen to carve the "Xuanji Diagram" onto the ground.

With his inscribing, the surrounding geomagnetic forces began to change, and the previously stationary chess pieces slowly started to move.

Seeing this, Lan Xiaodie was greatly alarmed; she did not expect Shi Feiyang could break such a complex mechanism.

As Shi Feiyang concentrated on breaking the mechanism, Lan Xiaodie seized the opportunity to strike from the darkness. Her Green Phosphorus Sword shimmered with an eerie light as it stabbed toward Shi Feiyang’s back. Perceiving the danger behind him, Shi Feiyang swiftly turned, the Celestial Frost Blade clashing with the Green Phosphorus Sword, producing a clear, crisp clash. The two engaged in a thrilling life-and-death duel within the eerie Underground Palace, with every move filled with lethal intent.

The surrounding traps were continuously triggered amid their combat, all targeting Shi Feiyang, leading to multiple close calls where he almost got killed by Lan Xiaodie’s Green Phosphorus Sword.

Facing the quadruple onslaught of Lan Xiaodie’s Green Phosphorus Sword, trap arrows, bricks, and poison fog, Shi Feiyang managed to dodge skillfully, despite his tattered clothing, still standing firm as a pine, his resolute gaze sweeping the surroundings.

While relying on his superb martial skills to evade attacks, he noticed that the patterns on the stone slabs seemed subtly related to the constellation’s arrangement.

Taking advantage of a gap in the attacks, Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, channeling the Bright Jade Technique. A jade-colored aura radiated around him, pushing back some of the flying arrows temporarily. He spotted a stone slab and, remembering the constellations’ positions from memory, leaped gracefully onto it.
