What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 188

Published at 14th of November 2023 08:05:54 AM

Since awakening his ability, Du Lianfeng had never encountered anything as bizarre as this.

His ability was highly developed, and he could control it very freely. Just like when he battled Zhong Yi that day, he didn’t even need an actual chessboard. He could instantly turn the rooftop into a battlefield. However, due to hastily manipulating the roof, he couldn’t truly drag Zhong Yi into a battlefield, and the battle was disrupted when Zhong Yi was kicked over.

But this time was different; he was fully prepared, with Qi Chengtai’s chessboard battlefield as support. He could be sure that the opponent had truly fallen into his mental world, facing a real battlefield of rivalry. Each sword and each spear that came at them could actually kill. One slash, and the soul sea would be extinguished.

But what was the result?

The opponent acted like a true ancient warrior, avoiding spears and seizing horses, using a person as a shield. It seemed like he could effortlessly kill any enemy in the battlefield.

That would be fine, even if it was Zhong Yi going in, he might be able to fight like that too. But in the blink of an eye, where was the person?

Chu Ge, who was just fighting on the battlefield, suddenly disappeared… As if he had easily broken free from Du Lianfeng’s world and jumped out of the chessboard.

However, he could still feel the opponent’s presence. Didn’t he stay inside? What was going on? Where was the person?

While searching everywhere, he heard laughter as if it came from the heavens, “Come down!”

Like a giant palm from the heavens, it slapped him down from the mountaintop, straight into the mortal realm… In the next moment, he found himself in the battlefield, with swords and knives coming at him from all sides.

Du Lianfeng, in his current soul state, didn’t have his hands and feet bound in plaster. He hurriedly dodged left and right, feeling deeply shocked in his heart.

What was going on? He left the chessboard, but I entered it?

“I didn’t actually leave the chessboard,” Chu Ge’s voice came from above, “It’s just that when your chessboard merged with mine, yours became too small, merely a corner…”

Du Lianfeng: “!!!”

He couldn’t believe this explanation.

Since this battlefield was his own world, it should still be under his control. He tried to activate his ability to detach from the battlefield first; otherwise, it would be ridiculous to be chopped into minced meat by his own battlefield.

One had to admit that his mental control was still quite perfect. With a single thought, the battlefield receded, and Du Lianfeng found himself standing on a distant riverbank, looking at the smoke on the other side and gasping.

Chu Ge had just spoken, and Du Lianfeng perceived his location. He looked up to find Chu Ge, and the shock on his face was evident once again.

In the sky, there was no Chu Ge… or rather, the entire sky was filled with Chu Ge.

As if a gigantic cabalash face floated in the clear sky, with fresh blood still not dried on its face.

The Cabalash brother smiled faintly, “It’s good to come out. You can see this vast land, the Nine Provinces, and the entire world…”

Du Lianfeng angrily retorted, “My chess battle doesn’t have all these things! What’s the use of your tricks?”

Chu Ge sighed, “I already told you, this is my chessboard.”

The winds changed, and the sun and moon lost their light!

Du Lianfeng felt like a gale was sweeping him away, and he couldn’t resist it at all. He was blown tens of thousands of miles away, screaming in agony until he almost vomited, only to realize that he didn’t have a stomach.

He was just a soul.

Because he was in a soul state, did that mean he could be manipulated at will?!

So where did those tens of thousands of miles come from? It was just an illusion! This idea flashed through Du Lianfeng’s mind. Since it was a mental illusion, there must be a way to break it. He needed to stay calm and break through the illusion to counterattack his opponent…

Where was the crucial point? Where could he find the loophole in the virtual world?

Unknowingly, Du Lianfeng didn’t realize that he had transformed from a boss setting a trap to a brave warrior seeking to break the level within the boss’s setup…

The cabalash brother in the sky laughed joyfully, and just like Qiu Wuji, he found it quite entertaining. Of course, he didn’t want to reveal his world so easily. It was better to create some misleading illusions…

As Chu Ge pondered how to create the illusion, Du Lianfeng was also contemplating how to break the illusion. He had noticed that not far below was a volcano, with magma flowing around it, and the mountain’s mouth was still glowing red, as if there were flames inside. Even in the distant sky, he could feel the scorching heat.

It was a very terrifying active volcano, seemingly on the verge of eruption. Du Lianfeng felt that this scene might be a flaw.

How could he, who was in a spiritual state, sense the heat wave? If it could burn his soul, then why would he need to arrange a volcano? He would just be incinerated directly…

“Regardless of whether it’s real or not, my spirit won’t be harmed by this. I will gain something by exploring further!” Du Lianfeng made his judgment.

“Ah, right, right.” Chu Ge seemed to know what he was thinking and withdrew the strong wind with a smile.

Freed from the restraint, Du Lianfeng immediately dived into the volcano.

Inside the mountain was a passage leading directly to the bottom, but its depth was not visible. As he expected, he only felt the scorching heat and no burning of his spirit. Du Lianfeng was sure of it. He rapidly moved past the smoke and heat, descending all the way down, not knowing how many thousands or tens of thousands of miles he had traveled. Finally, he reached the bottom and saw an immense underground world of flames.

Large swaths of magma flowed, flames rose everywhere, and there was no place to stand. The view extended endlessly without an end in sight. At the farthest point he could perceive, there seemed to be a shimmering pearl surrounded by flames.

“It’s highly likely to be the key to breaking the formation!” Du Lianfeng flew through the magma and flames, heading straight for the pearl.

However, when he was less than a mile away from the pearl, his spirit almost suddenly exploded, and he heard a low roar that pierced his soul, “Who disturbs my slumber?”

Du Lianfeng was shocked and halted his steps. He saw a massive figure of a flame person hovering above the pearl. The figure’s mouth resembled a pool of magma, its eyes were like burning flames, and it held a gigantic flaming hammer. The figure sneered at Du Lianfeng, “Is it you, insect?”

Du Lianfeng was dumbfounded. He had played games before, more than a decade ago… what was this, Ragnaros?

“N-no, listen to me… ah…”

Du Lianfeng had no chance to defend himself when the massive flaming hammer struck down, as if crushing an insect. Even though his spirit was not harmed by flames, the severe pain from the impact felt as if every node of his body was burning in flames.

“Who said that spirits wouldn’t be affected by burning?” Chu Ge’s voice timely rang in his mind. “Don’t think you’re fearless just because you’re in a soul state. Don’t wander recklessly without fire resistance gear, Old Du.”

“Could this person’s ability… drag people into the Molten Core of World of Warcraft?” This was Du Lianfeng’s last conscious thought.

At the moment before he fainted, the massive flame demon turned into a small flame and muttered to itself, “Oh, it’s you, my old friend.”

Chu Ge said, “Because you know him, I’ll leave this to you. His mental power seems quite strong. Isn’t this Molten Core of yours usually enough to scatter wandering souls?”

“Um…” The small flame rubbed its chin. “These people seem to know some tricks… I didn’t kill him with one hammer, mainly because I’m too weak right now…”

“That’s enough… for now, I’m not ready to kill anyone yet.”

“The heavenly dao does not kill…” The small flame smirked.

Chu Ge ignored it and withdrew his consciousness from the world.

In the eyes of onlookers like Zhong Yi and Zhu Mengmeng, Du Lianfeng and Chu Ge faced each other for a few minutes before Du Lianfeng suddenly fainted, blood flowing from his seven orifices.

Almost at the same time, Qiu Wuji’s chess piece stood in front of Qi Chengtai’s general and executed a killing move!

Qi Chengtai’s face turned ashen in defeat.

He was defeated in his own lifelong chess game, losing without even a chance to retaliate. He tried to break free from the chessboard’s control, but he couldn’t stop himself from moving towards doom, while the woman before him remained cold and motionless.

“You lose,” Qiu Wuji said calmly, taking Qi Chengtai’s general off the board and destroying it.

With a “pu” sound, Qi Chengtai spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the sofa.

Du Lianfeng’s secretary, the one who looked like an office lady, was pale with fright, sitting on the side, at a loss. Countless bodyguards rushed in from outside the door, witnessing the scene in complete silence.

“I know you’re not a secretary, you have abilities,” Chu Ge looked at the office lady and said calmly, “The ability to control people’s bodies, is that yours?”

The secretary was even more shocked. “Control people’s bodies?”

Chu Ge stared into her eyes, remained silent for a moment, and smiled faintly. “It’s alright.”

He paused and said slowly, “No matter what your position is, tell your group that if they step into Nanjiang again, they will be examples like these.”

The secretary’s look of panic receded, and she replied calmly, “I will convey the message.” She smiled sweetly, “Your chips are worth considering for us.”

Chu Ge didn’t respond and walked towards the door, looking at the leader of the black-suited group.

The group of black-suited people didn’t dare to stop him and parted like a broken wave, watching the group leave quickly.
