"Is this your home?" Fang Yan stared at Kuzuryu Yaichi: "You are indeed Kuzuryu Yaichi, that's for sure, at least I can confirm that you are the real person, but why is this? That Death Shogi, after leaving here, did indeed go to your home!"
"What?" Ginjiro Toyama was startled at first, then asked, "Could it be because Death Shogi has come after Yaichi Kuzuryu?"
Ginjiro Toyama's words instantly put everyone on edge: Death Shogi!
They had only been gone a short while when they set their sights on Kuzuryu Yaichi.
Is it really impossible to completely eliminate Death Shogi?
"But I didn't feel the challenge of Death Shogi!" Kuzuryuu Yaichi said with a frown, "I didn't feel the same way as my teacher and senior sisters!"
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Kong Yinzi's eyes. She seemed to have discovered something, but she lowered her head and did not say anything.
"Now, I have some questions!" Fang Yan suddenly said abruptly.
"Excuse me!" Kuzuryuu Yaichi hurriedly said, feeling extremely nervous being watched by so many people.
"So far, which of the deceased shogi players played against you, especially after you became the Dragon King?" Fang Yan stared intently at Kuzuryu Yaichi and asked.
"This?" Kuzuryu opened his mouth, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, apart from the teacher, everyone else has defeated me during my losing streak!"
“Wait, you don’t suspect Bayi, do you? Bayi wouldn’t do something like this. Besides, he was right next to us just now. If it really was him, we couldn’t have missed everything. And when people died at the beginning, Bayi was at my house. I can be his alibi!” Kiyotaki Keika stepped forward and said.
To her, Kuzuryu Yaichi was no different from her younger brother. Moreover, this matter concerned her father, and Kiyotaki Keika did not believe that this matter had anything to do with Kuzuryu Yaichi.
“I think, Sora Ginko, you must have noticed something, right? To be precise, you sensed something was wrong with Kuzuryuu Yaichi before the Death Shogi challenge!” Fang Yan turned to Sora Ginko, who was standing to the side with his head down, and said.
"What?" Kiyotaki Keika and Toyama Ginjiro both turned their gazes to Sora Ginko, trying to discern something unusual from her face.
"I think you must have figured something out from the patterns in that Death Chess game!" Fang Yan pinched his chin, adopting a detective-like expression, and said in a deep voice.
He finally understood why the front-loading washing machine liked to use reasoning to show off; it felt really good to show off like that!
Kong Yinzi glanced at Fang Yan with some surprise, then nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, many of the moves in Death Shogi are the same ones that Bayi uses."

Everyone else turned their attention to Kuzuryu Yaichi, especially Kiyotaki Keika, who found it even more unacceptable. For her, this was even harder to accept than her father being killed by that so-called Death Shogi.
Unlike Fang Yan and the others, who didn't understand shogi, Kiyotaki Keika knew shogi. If you think about it carefully, it seems that they really were all Kuzuryu Yaichi's moves.
"Wait, are you guys misunderstanding something? I've been here the whole time! And how could I possibly kill the teacher?" Kuzuryuu Yaichi said quickly when he saw the others' suspicious looks.
......... ........ ...
“No, they didn’t misunderstand. You are who you are now. It seems that you didn’t do this, but who can guarantee that there’s only one you?” Fang Yan said with a playful look on his face.
"What do you mean?" Everyone else looked puzzled. What did this mean? Could it be that there were two more Kuzuryu Yaichis?
"Right now, I only have a rough guess. To find the real Death Shogi, I need to go to Kuzuryuu Yaichi's house first!" Fang Yan chuckled, a confident look on his face.
Actually, the opponent's combat strength is not high in the matter of Death Shogi, but the main problem is that he is troublesome. If it weren't for his many tricks, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the real Death Shogi at all. Even if he killed the phantom, it wouldn't have made any difference!
(I don't know what's wrong, but I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days. Whenever I look at the computer, I feel dizzy and nauseous. At first, I thought it was because of playing Genshin Impact—I haven't played games in a long time, and I'm getting motion sickness—but then I realized something was wrong; I'm dizzy even when I'm not playing games… If this continues tomorrow, I plan to go to the hospital.) 3.
Chapter 171
Kuzuryuu Yaichi's actions did not lead to Toyama Ginshiro's immediate arrest. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this matter seemed to have nothing to do with Kuzuryuu Yaichi. This guy had a perfect alibi, and as for the rules of shogi, such things could not be regarded as evidence of a crime.
And so, the group arrived at Yaichi Kuzuryu's house. Upon arriving, Fang Yan smiled and said, "Found it!"
He then grabbed the shogi board that Kuzuryuu Yaichi had placed on the table and said, "This is the prototype of the Death Shogi that has been causing such a stir lately!"
"This? '983'? How is this possible?" Looking at the chessboard, the few people who knew Kuzuryuu Yaichi all showed disbelief. The most disbelief was that of Kuzuryuu Yaichi himself.
Why would my own chessboard turn into a death game of Shogi? That doesn't make sense!
"This chessboard was a gift from my father to Bayi. How did this happen?" At this moment, Kiyotaki Keika asked, "My father and I bought this chessboard together. It was said to have been used by the legendary shogi master Ichimi. I remember it very clearly. But how did it become a death game?"
"Because this chessboard isn't an ordinary chessboard!" Fang Yan said calmly. "It's a kind of magical artifact, and I think it was probably purchased from an antique dealer or something similar!"
"Yes!" Kiyotaki Keika quickly replied, "My father spent a lot of money on this!"
"However, this chessboard has a very heavy yin energy on it. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been used as a burial item. It might indeed be a chessboard used by a so-called master in the past, but this chessboard has many problems!" Fang Yan said calmly.
After becoming the Dragon King, Kuzuryu Yaichi kept losing and accumulated a lot of negative emotions. Under normal circumstances, these negative emotions would not cause any problems, but because of the special nature of this Go board, the board continuously absorbed them, thus giving birth to another Kuzuryu Yaichi.
A being with the chess skills of Yaichi Kuzuryu, an even more ruthless personality, and even special abilities, possessing computational power far exceeding that of normal humans.
"What?" Everyone looked horrified.
This guy is indeed a monster. As the youngest Dragon King, Kuzuryu Yaichi's chess skills are beyond doubt. Even though he has been losing all this time, his chess skills are still excellent. Even Sora Ginja is envious of Kuzuryu Yaichi's talent.
With such chess skills, and his calculation ability increased several times over, it's really hard to imagine anyone who could defeat him.
"But why is my father...!" Kiyotaki Keika continued, somewhat incredulously.
"He probably realized that the so-called Death Shogi is related to Kuzuryu Yaichi! He wanted to use this to stop Kuzuryu Yaichi!" Fang Yan said slowly, "But he didn't expect that this Death Shogi is indeed related to Kuzuryu Yaichi, but it's not Kuzuryu Yaichi himself!"
"Is that so?" The others all looked thoughtful.
If that's the case, then it seems to make sense.
"How did you find out?" At that moment, Death Shogi suddenly flashed, and another figure emerged from within. He still resembled Kuzuryu Yaichi, but he differed somewhat from the real Kuzuryu Yaichi... 0
This guy was filled with ominous auras, and his expression was sinister.
This scene shocked everyone present. Sure enough, there were two Yaichi Kuzuryu. So, this guy is actually the negative side of Yaichi Kuzuryu.
“I did some tricks before. If I do nothing, even if I destroy your phantom, you will still exist! I have to find your real body!” Fang Yan’s face showed a confident look: “Did you really think that when I had Kong Yinzi play against you, I did nothing? I even went so far as to talk nonsense to you to lull you into a false sense of security? Now I have succeeded!”
"Why did you do this? Why did you kill the teacher!" At this moment, Yaichi Kuzuryu clenched his fists and looked at his other self with a grim expression.
He had been wondering why the moves in Death Shogi felt so familiar, and why the board gave him a sense of déjà vu.
This also led to his hesitation when Sora Ginko took the initiative to challenge Death Shogi. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Of course, he was also a little scared!
However, he never expected that this would be another version of himself. This act of killing chess players, and even killing his teacher, was something that Kuzuryuu Yaichi could never accept.
"You think I wanted to kill him? It was that guy who challenged me. Death Chess is a game where only those with sufficient strength can challenge it, and once you fail, you must die!" Evil Thought sneered. "Originally, I wouldn't have dealt with him, but that old bastard meddled in my business!"

Chapter 172
"Damn it!" Yaichi Kuzuryu couldn't accept it. Someone was using his face to do bad things. What's more, this guy was another version of himself who had killed his teacher. In a sense, his teacher was killed by him!
He clenched his fist and punched at his other self, but before he could even touch him, Kuzuryu Yaichi felt a powerful force that bounced him back.
"Are you alright?" Kiyotaki Keika quickly helped Kuzuryu Yaichi up and asked with concern.
"I'm sorry!" Kuzuryuu Yaichi looked at Kiyotaki Keika, who was so close to him, and could no longer hold back his tears. He apologized to Kiyotaki Keika with a choked voice.
Kiyotaki Keika fell silent. This matter had nothing to do with Kuzuryuu Yaichi, at least Kuzuryuu Yaichi didn't intend to harm his father. But the other person was, after all, Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
What was the relationship between myself and Yaichi Kuzuryu? Were they like former fellow disciples? Or were they enemies who killed each other?
"Alright, now that you've confessed everything, it's time for you to die!" Fang Yan took out a golden sword and slashed at "Nine-Headed Dragon Eight-One".
"Kuzuryu Yaichi" tried to dodge Fang Yan's sword strike, but unfortunately, facing the cooperation between Fang Yan and Excalibur, "Kuzuryu Yaichi" fell down without any power to resist.
Even Fang Yan was stunned by this scene, as it seemed a bit too easy. However, upon closer reflection, it was not entirely incomprehensible, given that his strength had increased considerably, and with the help of the Excalibur, his combat power had risen even further.
For a swordsman, the quality of the sword does indeed have a significant impact. Don't be fooled by what Dugu Qiubai said about how even grass and trees could be used as swords. It sounds impressive, but in fact, Fang Yan had already reached that level long ago. When he integrated Gai Nie's legacy, Fang Yan was already able to achieve that.
It's worth noting that later on, the uncle was using a wooden sword.
But if you say that a wooden sword is really better than a famous sword, that's definitely not true. That uncle was just showing off in his attempt to cultivate his mind and body, and besides, his own sword was broken!
If he were given a suitable sword, Gai Nie would certainly not refuse.
Not to mention that Fang Yan later obtained the nameless inheritance, which greatly improved his swordsmanship.
Fang Yan can make it very clear that the so-called "everything can be used as a sword" is just that—it can only be used as a sword. When you face an ordinary swordsman, you only need an ordinary sword.
However, when facing a swordsman of the same level, and that person has a precious sword, then the difference becomes significant.
Moreover, Dugu Qiubai was merely a swordsman in an ordinary martial arts world, so how could he possibly know about those real treasured swords?
With the help of the Excalibur, Fang Yan felt that his combat power had been greatly enhanced!
Immediately afterwards, he slashed at the chessboard with his sword again, and the chessboard shattered and was completely destroyed.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for eliminating the spirit of the Death Chess Game! You have gained 1211 points!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for destroying the Ghost Artifact Death Chess Board and gaining 4921 points!"
"Hiss!" Even Fang Yan couldn't help but gasp when he heard the system notification. Just destroying a chessboard had brought him nearly 5000 points. This was simply too exaggerated. You have to know that's 5,000 points. Before coming to the Kansai region, how many points did he manage to get by working himself to the bone?
That's a bit too much.
He even suspected that the system, like the Federal Reserve, was directly over-issuing money, rendering the points worthless. Those systems had nuclear-powered money printing machines; how could he possibly cheat the system?
"Host, please don't doubt it, this ghost artifact contains a large amount of ghost energy!" The system seemed to sense Fang Yan's complaint and quickly explained, "It has been placed in a special tomb for at least a hundred years, and the material is very special, capable of absorbing ghost energy!"
Fang Yan fell silent upon hearing this. Even before the spiritual energy revival, ghosts and monsters still existed, though ordinary people couldn't see them. Some special places became places for raising corpses, just like the club building in their school, which was also a place for raising corpses.
So, is there something strange about that tomb? 983 might just be a coincidence, after all, there are still many people who don't understand feng shui, or who give random opinions about it.
"Is this all over?" Ginjiro Toyama asked Fang Yan cautiously, looking at the destroyed chessboard.
This incident didn't show him a spectacular battle, but the events in between were full of twists and turns, after all, the cause of the incident was just too bizarre.
"I guess it's over!" Fang Yan smiled noncommittally. Although there weren't many battles in this incident, things were anything but easy. If he hadn't located the position of the Death Chess board, this matter probably wouldn't have been able to stop at all.
Perhaps until no one in the world plays shogi anymore.
It's fortunate that they found themselves; otherwise, there wouldn't be many people who could solve this problem.
Having combat power alone is absolutely not enough!
Hmm, Koizumi Akako should be able to locate this place.
