Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 256 - 37: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 37)
Nowadays, the fact that Jiang Lai can escape with one move under the ancestorβs hand is already beyond everyoneβs expectations. π³ππ²ππ¨ππ―πππ§ππΉ.π°πΌπ
Everyone thought it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but unexpectedly, she really managed to withstand it.
Mu Wu was slightly surprised but soon calmed down.
Not following the steps of the ending game from back then, from the beginning Jiang Lai had no chance of success. At this point, looking at Ye Yunzhou, he has already lifted his head, with more confidence in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Wu felt a joy in her heart. The two exchanged a glance, and Ye Yunzhou slowly nodded, his assured demeanor made Mu Wuβs heart throb uncontrollably. She hurriedly looked away, fearing to expose her inner thoughts, but at this moment, she had to admit Ye Yunzhou truly was the most outstanding man in the world.
Now, just waiting for Jiang Lai to finish quickly.
But time passed one second at a time, and the trial was almost over. Jiang Lai still hadnβt lost.
No one remembered how many times, thinking Jiang Lai would definitely lose upon placing the next piece, she miraculously escaped, taking unconventional steps to distance herself from the encirclement of the white pieces.
Mu Wu was somewhat anxious watching, staring at the hourglass, it had already flowed more than halfway, there was still time. Even if Jiang Lai managed to drag it out, once the hourglass ran dry, it was still a dead-end for her.
But now she had to fight for more time for Ye Yunzhou. The longer Jiang Lai persisted, the less time Ye Yunzhou would have.
She looked at Jiang Laiβs back, just about to make a move when suddenly a golden light struck her wrist. The sudden pain caused her hand to be flung aside, along with a scream that drew everyoneβs attention.
Seeing her holding her hand, everyone present understood what she was just about to do.
The fourth brother was furious on the spot, glaring at Mu Wu and shouting sternly.
"What are you doing?!"
Ye Yunzhou stood in front of Mu Wu, while Mu Wu, clutching her injured hand, spoke candidly.
"She is wasting our time! The trial gate is about to close, do you all want to be trapped here for a year?"
"Being trapped for a year or eight years is our business, and what does it have to do with you?! Iβll tell you if you play tricks again, Iβll fight you!"
The fourth brother was fierce for the first time. Fearful of disturbing Jiang Lai, he lowered his voice to threaten, though it was not very powerful, Mu Wu was wary of the mysterious golden light, not daring to act again, only frowning at the still calm Jiang Lai.
Ye Yunzhou calmly spoke from the side.
"No need to use such means, if she can persist, let her continue."
"Then what about you?"
"What is mine will eventually be mine."
Ye Yunzhou was confident enough that this inheritance would surely be his, waiting another year, so what.
By this time, the hourglass was almost empty. The fourth brother watched anxiously as the sand slowly drained, wishing it could be refilled.
At this moment, Jiang Lai gently placed a piece.
The ancestor opposite unexpectedly made no move, slowing down with his actions, and the speed of the hourglassβs flow also decreased!
At this time, everyone looked at the chessboard again, only to find the situation had reversed!
The ancestor finally made the next move, the hourglass speed restored.
Jiang Lai calmly placed another piece.
The ancestor stopped again, the hourglass slowed down again.
Mu Wu couldnβt believe it, staring at the chessboard trying to find any flaw in Jiang Lai.
No way...
How could this be?
Now the chessboard Jiang Lai and the ancestor are presenting a situation of strong confrontation!
Ye Yunzhou whispered from the side.
"She has already come back to life and started counterattacking."
"So what, itβs still not broken from this ending."
"Restoring the ending, she just completed the challenge left by the ancestor, but if she approaches it like this, it might turn into another kind of situation."
Mu Wu gritted her teeth, unwillingly said.
"Do you really think she will win?"
"No, she already won."
After he finished, the ancestor seated opposite suddenly burst into hearty laughter, as a dazzling golden light radiated from the chessboard, the stone table beneath the chessboard cracked open with a "crack," and a yellowed scroll slowly floated toward Jiang Lai, slowly unfolding.
Mu Wu saw this.
"Inheritance Scroll!!"
This is to be given to Jiang Lai?!
She anxiously looked at Ye Yunzhou, feeling like a fire was burning within her, were it not for holding back, sheβd want to go forward and seize it now.
The scroll was actually hidden beneath the chessboard!
"Ye Yunzhou!"
Seeing Ye Yunzhou unresponsive, Mu Wu urgently called him.
"The ancestor has already given it to Jiang Lai, what else can I do?"
"You were the one to break the ending!"
"But she defeated the ancestor."
"Itβs just a broken game after all, to choose an heir based on that? Are you just giving up?"
Mu Wu would never sit idly by; once Jiang Lai got the inheritance, given their enmity, she would never let her go.
Since thatβs the case, she couldnβt let her get the scroll!
Thinking this, Mu Wu moved directly to snatch itβthey only had Jiang Lai with some skills, if it came to a fight, she and Ye Yunzhou wouldnβt be opponents.
But just then, that golden light struck down again, this time hitting Mu Wu directly on the shoulder, unable to dodge, her shoulder instantly turned black.
Ye Yunzhou looked directly at the ancestorβs remnant shadow opposite, cupped his fists, and apologized.
"The younger generation had no ulterior motives, please forgive me, ancestor."
After speaking, he turned to Mu Wu, his tone serious.
"Letβs leave."
"Why?!"
She turned angrily to the ancestor in front, pointing at Jiang Lai and exclaimed.
"How is she worthy of your inheritance? Just due to a chess match? In this world, strength is revered, dare to ask who in the Three Sects apart from us, is worthy?"
"Arrogant, need much discipline."
Then the ancestor waved his sleeve, followed by numerous golden lights striking Mu Wu consecutively.
Mu Wu had nowhere to hide, just as she moved toward Jiang Lai, Ye Yunzhou immediately intercepted her, opening his arms to shield her, taking most of the hits from the golden light.
"Mu Wu, I know youβre doing it for me, but still donβt be stubborn."
The ancestor, after all, is the ancestor, even a remnant shadow left behind is enough to crush everyone present.
Very soon the golden light receded, and Ye Yunzhou fell down as well. Mu Wu hurriedly checked, finding his back had been scorched black, with terrible crimson blood showing, almost revealing the hideous flesh inside.
Exploring his cultivation further, inside the entire vein, not a trace of Spiritual Power could be found, empty like a desolate desert, Spirit Root breaking inch by inch.
Mu Wu looked at Ye Yunzhou incredulously, her lips trembling.
"Your cultivation... your cultivation is all gone..."
Ye Yunzhouβs face was pale, leaning against Mu Wu as if lifeless, his voice weak to the point of being nearly inaudible.
"Letβs go."
