Chapter 1788: Kill You and Be Done with It
"Of course, there's a problem!" Qi Zhishan said coldly, "According to the investigation by the master, your age is at least over seven hundred years. Moreover, you've killed the descendants of your own family to conceal your identity. Old ghost, how can someone live for seven hundred years without entering the realm of Land Immortals? Explain this to me."
Upon hearing this, the Jade-faced Judge was shocked but still breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Zhishan only knows about his age issue but does not know his true identity, which for him is still somewhat good news.
As long as his identity doesn't get exposed, he won't become a public enemy, at least for now, he still has room to maneuver!
However, the Jade-faced Judge showed no sign on his face, only replying with a cold voice, "I don't understand what you mean. What's living for seven hundred years? What exactly do you want to say?"
"Old ghost, at this point, does it make sense to still play pretend?" Qi Zhishan sneered and said coldly, "I've seen your portrait, that portrait has been preserved for at least seven hundred years. You looked exactly the same as you do now. Tell me, what's the matter with this portrait?"
"What portrait, I don't understand what you mean!" The Jade-faced Judge kept pretending, "What portrait looks exactly like me? What are you all trying to say?"
"Keep pretending! Go on!" Qi Zhishan said coldly, "We already have enough evidence, does keeping up your pretense make any sense?"
"No, I truly don't know what you're talking about!" The Jade-faced Judge shouted, "You randomly found a portrait and claim I've been alive for seven hundred years? Oh, the person in the portrait looks exactly like me, what does that prove? In seven hundred years, is it strange to find someone who looks similar? Besides, since it's a portrait, surely there are inaccuracies, are you so convinced the person in the portrait is me? Don't you think that's too presumptuous?"
"Haha..." Qi Zhishan laughed, "Old ghost, no need to say meaningless things. We are certain the person in the portrait is you, so we are sure you've lived for a long time. I don't know by what means you've survived, but considering your subsequent actions, I am sure you have some unspeakable secret. That secret might not just be your ambition. I don't know what you're up to, but given your style, it certainly isn't anything good. So I think the most prudent method is still to kill all of you, completely destroy your plan, once and for all, most suitable!"
The Jade-faced Judge finally understood why Qi Zhishan kept targeting him, insisting on killing him. Turns out, it's all due to this matter!
Qi Zhishan doesn't know the Jade-faced Judge's plan, but that's not critical, he knows the Jade-faced Judge's plan surely isn't something good. Thus, he just needs to kill the Jade-faced Judge to stop this matter!
And precisely this method is particularly effective, he doesn't even need to know what the plan of the Jade-faced Judge is, and can completely thwart it. Kill the Jade-faced Judge, then his plan is as good as doomed!
The Jade-faced Judge felt he was going insane. He never expected Qi Zhishan to act this way. It's truly once and for all, this method is indeed the most effective, he simply has no way to counter it!
"Qi Zhishan, you've said so much, all are your own guesses. Just because of your own speculations, you want to kill me, aren't you afraid you've guessed wrong?" The Jade-faced Judge gritted his teeth and shouted, even now, he still stubbornly refused to admit it.
"If I'm wrong, I'm wrong; anyway, you're not a good person. Whether my guess is right or wrong, killing you definitely wouldn't be wrong!" Qi Zhishan laughed.
"You..." The Jade-faced Judge opened his mouth wide, paused for a moment, then angrily said, "Qi Zhishan, do you think you are a Saint? What right do you have to judge my actions? What gives you the qualification to say killing me is right? Haven't you done anything wrong?"
"That's my business, you don't need to worry about it." Qi Zhishan said, "Even if I did kill wrongly, at most I'd feel guilty later, why should you worry about my affairs then."
In the middle of speaking, Qi Zhishan seized the opportunity, suddenly charged up to the Jade-faced Judge, and struck heavily at the Jade-faced Judge's chest.
The Jade-faced Judge's face changed instantly, hurriedly raised his hand to block. But it was already slightly too late, his block could only neutralize half of Qi Zhishan's power, but half of the power directly struck him, sending the Jade-faced Judge flying backward and coughing up blood, his whole body's energy and blood in turmoil.
The expressions of the people present changed drastically, the crowd on the Jade-faced Judge's side exclaimed in shock, Ge Kaiyang was even furious, yelling, "Grandpa! How dare you hurt my grandpa, I'll fight you!"
Ge Kaiyang quickly rushed forward but was held back by the nearby Three-eyed Ghost King.
"Everyone, attack together, protect the lord!" Three-eyed Ghost King shouted, and the subordinates of the Jade-faced Judge rushed forward, ready to besiege Qi Zhishan.
"Amitabha Buddha!" Mahakaya softly chanted, hands clasped, his whole body emanating infinite golden radiance, a faintly visible golden Buddha appeared behind him.
The chanting of Buddhist hymns rang through the scene, the people beside Three-eyed Ghost King, under this chanting, seemed to be bearing the pressure of ten thousand weights, moving with difficulty, unable to besiege Qi Zhishan.
Qi Zhishan completely ignored these people, leisurely walked toward the Jade-faced Judge, and softly said, "Old ghost, before dying, why not share what your plan actually is? You're going to die, will you carry these secrets into the grave? You've lived for so many years, yet accomplished nothing, don't you regret it?"
The Jade-faced Judge wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his facial expression gradually becoming ferocious. He knew very well what the situation today was, it was not about whether he could continue his plan, but about if he can survive.
Qi Zhishan with Mahakaya joining forces, indeed his side couldn't contend against them. If this battle comes to the final end, his life would definitely end here. Moreover, even the people around him, including his own grandson, simply don't wish to survive either!
Watching Ge Kaiyang, who was held tightly by Three-eyed Ghost King, eyes reddened, the Jade-faced Judge felt deep pity. After all, this is his beloved grandson, his most cherished child, how could he bear Ge Kaiyang dying here?
"Why aren't you speaking?" Qi Zhishan had already arrived in front of the Jade-faced Judge, gently said, "I know you are plotting something astonishing, however, your plan is destined to fail!"
