Chapter 1267: Wedding Dress
This match would inevitably stretch on for a long time.
At first, the Demon Sovereign needed only a moment to place his stones, but as the match progressed, each move required deeper deliberation. Slowly, he realized the board's entire layout had shifted. With a single move, the black stones' position suddenly transformed, pivoting from dominance to decline. The white stones bit relentlessly into their flank. The very first piece played in the match had now revealed itself as a hidden trap.
"Slaying the dragon..."
The Demon Sovereign suddenly realized how incredibly similar this game was to the grander scheme playing out beyond the board. The trap had been set from the very beginning, advancing so gradually it remained entirely unnoticed.
The hook only revealed itself on the seventy-ninth move.
The Demon Sovereign shifted his gaze to that wisp of Chen Changsheng's divine sense. Its expression mirrored his own—fraught with deep anxiety. Both sides still had a chance; the final moment had not yet arrived.
The Demon Sovereign said, "You want to slay the dragon? Then I will gladly hand you a stone."
Sometimes, Yu Xuan wondered if she had genuinely mistaken him for someone else.
Chen Changsheng's expression flickered. Pinching another stone between his fingers, he sank into deep contemplation.
