Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

Chapter 169: Chapter 153 Who is the Protagonist? !

Fire Spirit acted, blocking Zhou Wenyuan’s fatal attack.

Suddenly, everyone at the scene was stunned.

“I, the Chess Immortal Sect, am cleansing our ranks. Do you seek to obstruct us?”

Zhou Wenyuan’s voice was piercing cold!

Let alone a mere minor world, even in the Dingning Realm, no one dared to interfere with the affairs of the Chess Immortal Sect.

However, Fire Spirit retorted coldly:

“The affairs of the Chess Immortal Sect are not my concern, but this person, our Heavenly Realm, shall protect him!”

She looked toward Jiang Li and said:

“I’ll give you a chance. Join our Heavenly Realm and sever ties with your original sect!”

The tragic fate of Jiang Li and his mastery of chess moved both her and Mu Qianning to compassion.

After discussing it, they decided to save him.

Another reason they dared to do this was… Senior Li had told them that he needed a few more disciples!

Upon deliberation, they considered Jiang Li to be a perfect candidate.

No sooner had Fire Spirit made her statement than everyone at the scene was extremely surprised.

She actually wanted to save Jiang Li?

“How presumptuous! You think you can protect someone the Chess Immortal Sect wants to kill?!”

Zhou Wenyuan was seething with dark rage.

This was a direct challenge to the dignity of the Chess Immortal Sect.

At this moment, even if Saint Heir Chen Xuanbei did not speak, he nonetheless felt compelled to annihilate this realm.

Only by doing so could they preserve the face of the Chess Immortal Sect!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li was momentarily taken aback but then sighed and spoke:

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Alliance Hierarch, but life and death are no longer of concern to Jiang Li. Your esteemed realm need not invite bloodshed over someone as insignificant as myself…”

Just now, his heart had indeed wavered.

But could the Heavenly Realm really protect him?

It was impossible. In the face of the Chess Immortal Sect, such a minor world could be snuffed out in an instant.

Agreeing to Fire Spirit would only drag the Heavenly Realm into slaughter.

Yet Fire Spirit spoke indifferently:

“If you fear the Chess Immortal Sect, then let me tell you that in the Heavenly Realm, you need not worry about anyone or any force!”

She was brimming with confidence!

Lu Xing also spoke up, saying:

“Brother, why cling to the Chess Immortal Sect? Come to the Heavenly Realm, and you will find better prospects for development!”

Seeing the resolute confidence on Fire Spirit’s face and hearing Lu Xing’s persuasion, Jiang Li wavered once more!

Could it be that the Heavenly Realm truly had some trump card that could stand up to the Chess Immortal Sect?

“Damn it, what is Jiang Li waiting for? Hurry up and join them!”

It was then, from within the ranks of the Chess Immortal Sect, that Wu Dade, holding a black piglet, couldn’t help but blurt out.

He had already clenched his teeth in anger when he saw Jiang Li being slapped and whipped earlier; now, the Chess Immortal Sect even intended to kill Jiang Li, and he could no longer contain himself; he boldly spoke up!

At his words, onlookers from both sides were momentarily taken aback. What was this situation?

Why was there someone from the Chess Immortal Sect urging Jiang Li to defect?

“Wu Dade, you swineherd, how dare you speak up here? Are you seeking death?!”

Zhou Wenyuan instantly turned his head and roared furiously!

If Wu Dade hadn’t been raising pigs for the Saint Heir Chen Xuanbei, he would have really wanted to kill him with one slap.

Chen Xuanbei also gave Wu Dade a cold glance!

Feeling the glares from Zhou Wenyuan and Chen Xuanbei, Wu Dade’s heart trembled, and he calmed down.

Damn it…

He seemed to have acted… impulsively, rashly!

It was all over…

Without containing himself, he had let it slip out…

At this juncture, he was extremely nervous and made a desperate bid, stepping forward and saying to Fire Spirit:

“Alliance Hierarchs, may I… may I join with Jiang Li in defecting to you? I… I may not be good at chess and might be utterly useless, but I can raise pigs and dogs… I can raise anything…”

Upon hearing this, even Fire Spirit was momentarily taken aback.

“You… you’re really a pig farmer?”

At this moment, a woman in the Heavenly Realm suddenly spoke in astonishment, seemingly incredulous.

The speaker was Xia Yao!

Her face wore an odd smile as she said:

“Who said you’d be useless? Raising pigs… maybe you’ll stumble upon a great opportunity!”

Fire Spirit pondered for a moment, then said:

“That’s acceptable.”

After all, saving one is saving, and saving two is still saving!

Upon hearing this, Wu Dade was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he threw the black piglet he was holding onto the ground, grabbed Jiang Li, and said:

“Hurry up and go. The Chess Immortal Sect is out to kill you, are you waiting to die?”

Jiang Li, somewhat bewildered, was pulled into the ranks of the Heavenly Realm by Wu Dade, still somewhat in a daze.

Had he just defected from the Chess Immortal Sect like this?

“How dare you!”

Zhou Wenyuan was furious to the extreme and said:

“It seems your realm wishes to declare war against my Chess Immortal Sect, does it?!”

His terrifying aura as a Taiyi Golden Immortal was released in full!

In an instant, the countless cultivators in the area were almost unable to breathe under the pressure of his aura!

However, Fire Spirit and the others remained calm.

Taiyi Golden Immortal?

If this had been in the past, they indeed might have been forced into a hopeless despair.

But now… this was no longer anything out of the ordinary.

“Wait a moment.”

At this time, it was Chen Xuanbei who, with a gloomy expression, said:

“Finish the game of chess first, then we talk!”

Jiang Li and Wu Dade had angered him greatly.

But annihilating the entire Heavenly Realm was not what he wanted.

He sought a complete Heavenly Realm and the Boundless Chessboard hidden within it.

“Two useless people, it makes no difference to give them to you,”

Chen Xuanbei said coldly as he looked at Fire Spirit:

“Now, may we continue the game of chess from before? Our wager still stands, doesn’t it?”

Fire Spirit said:

“Of course!”

She looked towards Xiao Yan!

At present, Xiao Yan was the only one who had not yet made a move.

His skill in chess was also the strongest within the limits of Huangtian State, able to break through four chess games at that time!

Xiao Yan, at this moment, also showed a hint of a cold smile in his eyes.

Finally, it was his turn!

He stepped forward calmly.

“Come then, I, Xiao Yan, shall defeat you!”

Xiao Yan looked towards Chen Xuanbei!

Chen Xuanbei sneered and said,

“You think you can?”

He stepped forward.

Both parties began to play chess.

“Elder Yang, lend me your strength!”

Xiao Yan whispered softly.

The voice of Yang Miechen resounded inside him, directing Xiao Yan’s moves one by one.

Xiao Yan immediately began to place his pieces.

Chen Xuanbei, holding the white pieces, made his moves with casual ease.

Soon, the two had played more than a dozen moves!

“Huh? This person can actually play more than a dozen moves against the Saint Heir without losing?”

Zhou Wenyuan was surprised.

You see, even within the Chess Immortal Sect, there are no more than ten people who can play up to a dozen moves with Chen Xuanbei!

This native of Xuan Tianzhou actually has quite the talent!

At this moment, Xiao Yan was also somewhat taken aback.

Only a dozen moves in, and he could feel that Elder Yang’s time for contemplation was distinctly getting longer!

“Impossible… I am the protagonist of this world; I even have a golden finger. Who could possibly be my opponent?”

He muttered to himself but still felt a bit worried and couldn’t help saying:

“Elder Yang, is it possible to defeat him?”

Inside him, Yang Miechen said:

“Kid, the Chess Immortal Sect is one of the branches of the Regretless Immortal City in the Lower World, established by the Central Immortal Domain. The path of chess has some reputation in the Immortal Domain. This person is the Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect; whether or not he can be defeated, I am not certain…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan’s face looked rather unsightly.

Am I really the protagonist? He was increasingly doubting it.

Why is it that every time I’m about to shine, something goes wrong?

On the other side, Chen Xuanbei’s eyes also flickered with surprise.

“This native can actually play over a dozen moves against me?”

You must know that he is an Immortal reincarnated into a new life, destined to be the protagonist!

He immediately became serious!

He played a few more moves of chess.

“You’re too weak!”

Chen Xuanbei finally spoke coldly as the last piece fell!

The game was set!

“Ah, this child’s chess skill is too terrifying. Kid, you should admit defeat. I’ve been thoroughly trapped…”

Yang Miechen’s resigned voice came out as he murmured:

“I never thought that in the Lower World, there would be such a strong chess player… Inconceivable.”

Xiao Yan’s face became extremely unsightly.

Is this really how I’m going to lose?

He was unwilling, but Elder Yang had already spoken, and he himself was clueless about the path of chess.

“I… I lost!”

He said through clenched teeth, filled with a sense of humiliation.

As the protagonist, he had lost yet again!

The last time, he lost to a horrifying entity, which he could accept, but this time he lost to a young man…

He felt an intense desire to beat his chest in frustration!

“Ants.”

Chen Xuanbei let out a scornful laugh, dismissively saying:

“In this Heavenly Realm, is there anyone else daring to challenge me?”

“No one can defeat me, you all, it’s time to honor your promises!”

He looked at Fire Spirit and enunciated every word:

“Submit to me!”

Everyone in the Heavenly Realm looked solemn indeed!

“Alliance Hierarch, let’s fight him!”

At this time, Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke with a grave voice!

The Heavenly Realm absolutely could not yield so easily.

“Heh, I’m giving you a chance now, don’t take it for granted.”

But Chen Xuanbei laughed coldly, appearing so arrogant:

“If you wish to resist, I don’t mind wiping out this entire realm.”

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a chess piece from his sleeve!

It was a white piece, ancient and mottled, as if it had been weathered in the river of time for tens of thousands of years!

On the white chess piece, a terrifying aura was faintly emitted, surpassing everything, causing the surrounding space to seem to twist with it!

At this moment, everyone present was shocked.

They all had a feeling that if this piece were to be played, perhaps a million Lower Worlds would be annihilated.

Utterly terrifying!

“What, what kind of chess piece is this?!”

“Why do I feel like I’m facing… facing a Supreme being?”

“This… it even makes me feel, for a moment, an aura that could be on par with Senior Li?”

For a moment, the Yuanyang Holy Lord, Dugu Chenlu, and the others were greatly shaken.

“I know you have some treasures on you.”

Chen Xuanbei sneered, looking at Fire Spirit. The moment Fire Spirit managed to withstand Zhou Wenyuan’s attack at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal with just a Golden Immortal’s full cultivation, he had already felt it.

But he simply didn’t care!

“It’s just a pity that all your treasures, in front of me, are just children’s toys, understand?”

“Submissive surrender to me is the greatest opportunity of your lives!”

His confidence soared to the extreme, as if he were the center of all beings, high above!

And at this moment, Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others felt the burden in their hearts!

The aura emanating from that white chess piece… was just too terrifying.

Fire Spirit felt that even the hairpin she possessed might not be of higher grade than that chess piece.

After all, the hairpin was made out of mere scraps.

The Li Tian Divine Palace might be able to contend with it, but her strength wasn’t enough to invoke the full power of the Li Tian Divine Palace!

She hesitated.

“The two ladies… Chen Xuanbei, is… a reborn individual!”

Just then, Jiang Li spoke up, sighing:

“Reborn individuals are mysterious and unfathomable, with an inconceivable past life… whether it’s chess or anything else, no one can compete with them!”

Reborn individual!

At these words, the Heavenly Realm’s people’s complexions changed drastically!

“What, he’s a reborn individual?”

“Reborn individuals, also called ‘People of Two Lifetimes,’ only entities who were extremely powerful in their past lives have a chance to be reborn…”

“Once reborn, they are destined to have the fortunes of a lifetime, inevitably the protagonists of heaven and earth, unstoppable by anyone!”

Everyone was shocked and began to speak.

The legends of “reborn individuals” were known in all Myriad Realms!

And Xiao Yan on hearing this, was suddenly taken aback.

Reborn individual?

Damn it, no wonder.

No wonder, even possessing a heaven-defying golden finger like the accompanying elder grandpa, he was unable to overcome the opponent.

The opponent is a reborn individual… his golden finger might not even be worse than his own…

But his accompanying elder grandpa…

If the opponent has been reborn-

in this life, between him and the opponent, who is the protagonist? Who is the supporting role?

Xiao Yan was filled with confusion!

“Reborn individual… no wonder, no wonder…”

Inside him, even Yang Miechen couldn’t help but murmur.

On hearing this, Fire Spirit felt the pressure increase by a notch.

It seemed that relying on themselves, they were unable to suppress Chen Xuanbei… it was impossible…

Now, it seemed they had no other choice!

She looked over at Mu Qianning.

Mu Qianning understood the question in Fire Spirit’s eyes and nodded immediately.

“Who says no one can defeat you?”

Fire Spirit looked at Chen Xuanbei and said:

“In the Heavenly Realm, there still exist beings far beyond you!”
