Chapter 1791: Forcibly Opening the Gate of Life
Qi Zhishan had no idea what this black Qi was, and didn't dare to recklessly meet it head-on, so he hurriedly retreated to avoid the black Qi.
After the black Qi surged past Qi Zhishan, it quickly rushed to Ge Kaiyang's side. Then, the black Qi directly transformed into a vortex in the air!
"Gate of Life!" Qi Zhishan roared angrily, his face changing instantly. He finally understood what the Jade-faced Judge intended to do.
Actually, the Jade-faced Judge indeed wanted to force Qi Zhishan back and take Ge Kaiyang to escape. However, Qi Zhishan saw through his intention and blocked him with all his might. The Judge couldn't bypass Qi Zhishan, so his thoughts gradually changed.
He gathered power within himself to condense this Gate of Life. Just now, the breath of black Qi that was spat out was actually the Gate of Life, and he intended to save Ge Kaiyang first!
At this moment, Qi Zhishan wanted to stop the Gate of Life but it was already impossible, he could only hurriedly shout: "Master, don't let him escape!"
Mahakaya also saw the Gate of Life, and he would not let Ge Kaiyang leave like this. However, he didn't take action, merely chanted a Buddhist mantra once more.
The golden light behind him intensified again, and the gigantic Buddha became even clearer and more distinct. The powerful pressure on everyone also grew stronger, causing Ge Kaiyang to be directly pressed to his knees on the ground, unable to stand at all.
Even the formidable Three-Eyed Ghost King was kneeling on one knee, barely able to stand.
Seeing the situation, Qi Zhishan sighed in relief. Although the Gate of Life was present, these people must also have the ability to enter it. With Mahakaya watching over, even moving was an extremely difficult task for them, so how could they possibly enter the Gate of Life?
However, before Qi Zhishan could make a counterattack, the Jade-faced Judge acted again. He tossed out the round pearl from before, and it landed directly in Ge Kaiyang's hand.
Holding this pearl, Ge Kaiyang seemed to lose all pressure and stood up directly.
"I'll fight you!" Ge Kaiyang roared in anger, attempting to pounce on Qi Zhishan.
"Go!" The Jade-faced Judge roared, and with a wave of his long sleeve, Ge Kaiyang was involuntarily sent flying into the Gate of Life.
Qi Zhishan's expression changed dramatically; the Jade-faced Judge had actually sent Ge Kaiyang away, which surely left a hidden danger!
"Where do you think you're going!" Qi Zhishan roared angrily, quickly attempting to chase into the Gate of Life.
But it was too late. After Ge Kaiyang disappeared into the Gate of Life, the Jade-faced Judge shouted loudly, and the Gate of Life instantly turned into nothingness, as if it had never appeared. Qi Zhishan pounced at thin air, and Ge Kaiyang also vanished from where he once was.
Qi Zhishan frowned; Ge Kaiyang still managed to escape, which was totally outside of his plan. He turned to look at the Jade-faced Judge, frowning deeply and said in a deep voice: "Old ghost, you're aware of the price you'll pay for consuming your origin power to open the Gate of Life, aren't you? Are you planning to give your life here?"
At this moment, the Jade-faced Judge's complexion had turned extremely pale. Just now, forcefully opening the Gate of Life to send Ge Kaiyang away, he indeed consumed a lot of power. Now he was almost drained of power, similarly to when he sent away his subordinates along with the Beigong War God back then.
Now, even if he were to consume his origin to fight Qi Zhishan, he wouldn't gain the slightest advantage!
"If you want to kill me, let's see if you've got the skills!" The Jade-faced Judge gritted his teeth and shouted, suddenly turning to flee towards the distant sky.
This time, he used the Blood Escape Technique, his last hope.
However, he had just consumed an enormous amount of origin power to force open the Gate of Life. Now, even with the Blood Escape Technique, his speed fell far short of what he desired.
"Can you run away?" Qi Zhishan charged with all his strength, blocking the Jade-faced Judge.
The Jade-faced Judge changed direction, trying to leave from another direction, but Mahakaya was already waiting there, blocking him again.
The Jade-faced Judge's face changed anxiously. Now, he was like a headless fly, scrambling to find a way out. But Qi Zhishan and Mahakaya had joined forces, sealing all his escape routes. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't escape and was finally completely trapped in the middle.
At this moment, the Jade-faced Judge's face turned extremely pale, and most of his power was consumed. Importantly, this consumption was all his own origin power, not something that could be restored by resting. The amount he consumed this time would permanently reduce his future power, which was terrifying.
"Benefactor Ge, there is no need for further futile struggles now!" Mahakaya said softly, putting his hands together: "Lay down your arms, and turn back to find the shore!"
"The shore? I am a person of the Ghost Realm; what shore could there be? In this Human World, the whole world is my enemy, how can I turn back!" the Jade-faced Judge shouted loudly.
"Then will you keep struggling like this?" Qi Zhishan coldly said: "Don't you think it's meaningless to continue acting this way?"
"I never intended to leave alive today, but in the future, someone will avenge me!" The Jade-faced Judge roared angrily: "When my Ghost Realm army comes, you'll pay a bloody price for what you've done. I'll make sure you know the consequences of opposing the Ghost Realm!"
"Stubborn fool!" Qi Zhishan shouted coldly, not wanting to waste more words. He clasped his hands in the air, and two Water Dragons appeared directly, locking the Jade-faced Judge firmly within.
The Jade-faced Judge struggled with all his might but was unable to break free. These two Water Dragons were very powerful, and the Jade-faced Judge's strength had decreased tremendously. Now, he was completely at the end of his rope.
"Release our lord!" the Three-Eyed Ghost King roared furiously, but he was suppressed by the Buddha's light, unable to even stand.
Qi Zhishan glanced coldly at those behind him: "This man is a Ghost Realm member, he intends to bring the Ghost Realm people into the Human World, and yet you remain so loyal to him, are you fools?"
"Our lord is like a mountain of grace to us. No matter what he is, he will always be our lord!" The Ghost King roared: "You better release our lord, or even in death, we won't let you go!"
"You truly are foolish!" Qi Zhishan cursed, turning to the Jade-faced Judge: "Old ghost, you really know how to manipulate hearts. But if they're not our kind, their heart must differ. Today, you must die!"
With that, Qi Zhishan waved his hands, and the two Water Dragons immediately started pulling in opposite directions.
The Jade-faced Judge, heavily wounded, had an arm forcefully torn off by one of the Water Dragons.
"Ah!" The Jade-faced Judge let out a piercing scream, his face growing even more ferocious. He looked at Qi Zhishan with rage and suddenly roared: "Qi Zhishan, I won't let you off!"
With that said, endless light appeared around the Jade-faced Judge, enveloping him.
