Supreme Warrior in the City

The Jade-faced Judge frowned deeply. He realized that trying to use words to pressure Qi Zhishan was completely useless.

The events of last time indeed infuriated Qi Zhishan, and him seeking revenge was only natural.

Under normal circumstances, the Jade-faced Judge would not care. He had hidden his strength for many years and did not regard Qi Zhishan as a threat.

But now was different. It was a critical moment in his plan. Qi Zhishan choosing to confront him now was completely disrupting his plans, and he simply had no time to tangle with Qi Zhishan.

Moreover, there was Mahakaya, whose strength was not to be underestimated. If they really fought, he would definitely be at a disadvantage!

After a moment of contemplation, the Jade-faced Judge said in a deep voice, ”Qi Zhishan, since you insist on pursuing this matter, I won’t hide it anymore. I can have Yang-er apologize to you for this. However, if you insist on entangling this to the end, then I, the Jade-faced Judge, will not be easily bullied. If you insist on fighting, then according to the rules of the martial world, we will speak through strength!”

”Isn’t that nonsense!” Qi Zhishan replied directly. ”I’ve been here fighting for so long, what do you think I’m here for? To perform acrobatics? Of course, I’m here to settle this matter with you through strength!”

”Fine!” the Jade-faced Judge shouted. ”Since you are so determined, I will not back down. How about this, in three days, at the peak of North Mountain, you and I will have a solo battle to settle this matter once and for all!”

The Jade-faced Judge played a clever hand by agreeing to fight Qi Zhishan but postponed it for three days, which would temporarily send Qi Zhishan and Mahakaya away. He sought to gain time because once he opened the Boundary Point of the Ghost Realm, then who would go fight Qi Zhishan? When the masters of the Ghost Realm enter the Human World en masse, there will be plenty to deal with Qi Zhishan, without him needing to lift a finger!

Qi Zhishan chuckled, ”You and I are definitely going to fight, but it doesn’t have to be in three days. As the saying goes, it’s better to meet by chance than to make an appointment. Who knows where you’ll run off to in three days? Since we’ve already met here, let’s settle it here and now, why wait three days?”

The Jade-faced Judge’s expression changed. Qi Zhishan didn’t fall for his trick, which caused his plans to fall through. If Qi Zhishan insisted on fighting here and now, this would become very troublesome as, at the very least, his plan for tonight couldn’t be carried out.

In the future, when Sandaoshima Yofu’s men arrive in the capital, they’ll probably settle in Qinghe Academy. At that time, it will be difficult for the Jade-faced Judge to enter Qinghe Academy, let alone open the Boundary Point of the Ghost Realm.

In other words, this opportunity tonight is indeed rare. Under such circumstances, how could he be disturbed?

The Jade-faced Judge signaled to the Three-eyed Ghost King not far away, and the Three-eyed Ghost King immediately spoke, ”My lord only recently sustained an injury, and you’re choosing to fight him now, taking advantage of his vulnerability! Qi Zhishan, is this your way of doing things?”

”Oh, is that so?” Qi Zhishan laughed again. ”Then it suits me well. Wouldn’t my chances of winning be higher by fighting you now?”

Everyone on the Jade-faced Judge’s side was stunned. They originally intended to use provocation tactics to make Qi Zhishan temporarily abandon the idea of fighting the Jade-faced Judge tonight. But now, it seemed Qi Zhishan wasn’t falling for it at all.

”Qi Zhishan, how can you be so despicable?” Ge Kaiyang got anxious. ”My grandfather is seriously injured. You choose to fight him now, aren’t you afraid of disgrace?”

”Disgrace is my concern; what’s it to you? Why are you so worried?” Qi Zhishan laughed. ”I, Qi Zhishan, can discard my pride, so what are you all afraid of?”

The crowd was momentarily speechless, given Qi Zhishan’s words, what more was there to say?

”Qi Zhishan, are you content to do something so dishonorable?” the Three-eyed Ghost King shouted angrily.

”Exactly, I like doing such things!” Qi Zhishan laughed. ”Moreover, I came this time to kill. If this Ghost King weren’t injured, it wouldn’t have been so easy to kill him. Since he’s severely wounded, well, I can kill him easily; why not?”

Upon hearing this, everyone present nearly spat blood. The Jade-faced Judge was so angry he almost jumped up. He was only trying to buy some time, but Qi Zhishan was completely unyielding; what was he supposed to do?

”Qi Zhishan, if you want to fight me, I won’t back down!” the Jade-faced Judge said through gritted teeth. ”But, I’ve just exhausted my strength massively. How about this, if you wait a while, in three hours, I’ll fight you personally, how about that?”

”No!” Qi Zhishan flatly refused. ”Wasn’t I clear enough? I’m here to kill you; the more you rest, the lower my chances of killing you become. Old Ghost, I think right now is perfect. There’s no need for you to rest; let’s fight right away!”

Before Qi Zhishan finished speaking, he had already lunged directly at the Jade-faced Judge.

The Jade-faced Judge was nearly spitting blood; he really felt like killing someone. He couldn’t understand why Qi Zhishan was acting this way, completely impervious to persuasion!

Yet, with Qi Zhishan making a move, the Jade-faced Judge couldn’t be careless. He had no choice but to engage, battling fiercely with Qi Zhishan.

Mahakaya sat nearby, leisurely watching their duel as if enjoying a spectacle.

In truth, the Jade-faced Judge knew well enough that Mahakaya was there to support Qi Zhishan. If anyone on his side made a move, Mahakaya would step in immediately to stop them. So, a fight between him and Qi Zhishan tonight was inevitable!

Thinking this, the Jade-faced Judge decided to abandon his plans for the night. He took a deep breath and focused all his strength on fighting Qi Zhishan.

Since the situation had reached this point, it was entirely impossible to trick these two into leaving, so all he could do was fight with everything he had.

Seeing the Jade-faced Judge fight back fiercely, Qi Zhishan also laughed. ”That’s more like it—engage with spirit! Otherwise, won’t people say I’m bullying you?”

The Jade-faced Judge was almost bursting with anger. Damn it, after all the talk about being seriously injured, you ignored it. Now you shout about engaging with spirit—have you no shame?

Though angry, the Jade-faced Judge had no choice but to fight with vigor. Qi Zhishan’s demonstrated power far exceeded his expectations. In fact, in this short time, Qi Zhishan had already suppressed him, showing signs of gaining the upper hand!
