Chapter 1226 Please Come Out of the Mountain
"Oh? Not the right time?" The smile on the chess and card Buddha's face deepened. "Then, in your opinion, when would be the right time?"
"After I've dealt with this last little trouble," Lin Zhen said calmly, yet with an undeniable confidence.
"A little trouble?" Upon hearing this, the Chess Buddha couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The laughter was hoarse and grating, filled with endless mockery and contempt.
"Hahaha... Lin Zhen, you really don't know your own limitations."
"The Ottoman Turks' 200,000 iron cavalry, the East India Company's invincible fleet, and the 'Nihilistic Party' hidden in the shadows of the world, whose strength is unfathomable..."
"Any one of these is enough to reduce any so-called empire on this star to ashes in an instant!"
"And you actually call this a 'minor trouble'?"
"You're being way too arrogant."
Murong Yan listened as the Buddha recounted every single crisis that their Great Qian Dynasty was currently facing.
My heart, which had just begun to settle down, jumped into my throat once again!
She is now absolutely certain!
The old monster before them definitely possessed some kind of terrifying power that they simply could not comprehend!
He was like a supreme god standing in a higher dimension, looking down on the struggles of these mortals!
Before Him, any conspiracy, any secret, will be exposed!
However, he was met with a mocking and disdainful question from the chess and card player.
Lin Zhen's face showed no sign of panic or emotion.
He simply watched him quietly, a slow, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.
"Senior, I agree with everything you've said."
"But have you forgotten?"
"This arrogant brat in front of you is ignorant of his own limitations."
"It is also something that you call a 'variable'."
Lin Zhen's rhetorical question was like an invisible bolt of lightning.
In an instant, all the smiles on Chess Buddha's carefree face froze.
His cloudy eyes narrowed slightly at that moment.
A terrifying aura, colder and more chilling than the eternal cold current of Siberia, suddenly erupted from his seemingly shabby and tattered body!
"Kid, are you threatening me?"
His voice became incredibly hoarse and cold.
It sounded like the deathly voice from the deepest hell.
That chilling, terrifying aura, like an invisible, towering mountain, pressed heavily on Murong Yan's heart!
This caused her petite body to tremble slightly, uncontrollably.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant.
She felt as if her soul was about to be completely frozen by that tangible, icy killing intent!
However, just when she was about to give up.
A warm and strong hand suddenly and gently pulled her into its embrace.
Lin Zhen stood in front of her.
With his still weak but still towering figure, he shielded her from all the oppressive power and killing intent that could have shaken the heavens and earth.
"Senior, you're joking again."
His voice remained calm and serene.
It was as if the terrifying aura of the Buddha, which could make even ghosts and gods tremble, was nothing more than an insignificant summer breeze in his eyes.
"How dare I, a junior with such meager skills, presume to teach a lesson before you, a terrestrial immortal who has lived for over a thousand years?"
"I have come here today only to make a deal with you."
"A transaction?" Upon hearing this, the chess and card Buddha was slightly taken aback.
He withdrew his intimidating aura, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his deep eyes.
"Kid, why don't you tell me?"
"What qualifications do you have to make a deal with me?"
"Am I qualified?" Lin Zhen smiled.
Then, he slowly took something out of his pocket.
It was a rhombus-shaped crystal, only the size of a thumb, completely black, yet shimmering with an eerie red glow in the sunlight!
It was he who removed the "Devil's Contract" from Elizabeth's wrist!
The moment the Buddha saw this black crystal.
His face, always calm and undisturbed, seemed indifferent to everything in the world—a disheveled old face.
For the first time, an emotion called "shock" emerged!
"This...this is...the 'Stone of Nothingness'?!"
He cried out in shock, his cloudy eyes filled with disbelief and horror!
"You...you actually managed to remove it completely from that little girl's body?!"
"This...how is this possible?!"
"As far as I know, this 'Stone of Nothingness' is the ultimate control weapon created by those madmen of the 'Nutrition Party' using a technique called 'quantum entanglement' that surpasses the technology of this era!"
"Once implanted in the human body, it will be completely bound to the host's heartbeat and soul! Unless all energy resonance between it and the other 'mother stone' can be severed in an instant!"
"Otherwise, it will explode in less than a fraction of a breath, blasting the host and everything within a hundred miles into the most primordial nothingness!"
"This kind of near-miraculous, precise operation is something even I, an old man, am not entirely confident I could do!"
"You...you're just a mortal boy who's lost all his internal energy..."
"How on earth did they do that?!"
Chess and Card Buddha was truly and utterly shocked!
He felt that all the worldview he had built up over the past thousand years had been shattered and utterly destroyed at this moment by the young man in front of him who could always create all sorts of unbelievable miracles!
For the first time, he felt a deep, soul-deep emotion called "unfathomable."
One is the profound sense of powerlessness and frustration that arises when facing a super genius who thinks on a completely different level from oneself!
However, he was met with a question from the chess and card game master that was filled with shock and confusion.
Lin Zhen's face, however, showed no trace of smugness.
He simply played quietly with the black crystal in his hand, which seemed to contain endless mysteries.
Then, in a calm and inscrutable tone, he spoke slowly.
"Senior, weren't you just asking what qualifications I have to make a deal with you?"
"Now, do you think you're qualified?"
The Buddha remained silent.
His deep eyes were fixed on the black crystal in Lin Zhen's hand.
She glanced at Lin Zhen's handsome face again, which, though pale, exuded absolute confidence and a powerful aura.
for a long time.
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
A bitter smile, more painful than crying, appeared on that disheveled old face.
"enough."
"You win, kid."
He knew he had lost from the very beginning.
They lost to this unpredictable genius whose mind is more unfathomable than the abyss.
He thought he had the whole world as his chessboard and all living beings as his pawns.
But I never dreamed of it.
In reality, I am nothing more than a small, helpless pawn on someone else's chessboard.
But the player who truly wields the pieces in a higher dimension.
This is the young man in front of him, whom he can neither understand nor afford to offend!
