"I really underestimated you..."

The entangled golden Buddha glared angrily at Shi Huaqing, who was binding it.

I thought I could get rid of this guy in no time, but he's refusing to let go even when everything is burning...

At this moment, the Golden Buddha no longer underestimated anyone. His aura surged, and terrifying world-destroying power coalesced in his hand.

"The Great Sun Annihilates Life!!"

In an instant, blinding golden light poured down like a torrent.

at the same time,

Ye Ran and Wang Xianghe seized the opportunity created by Shi Huaqing.

His body moved like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Chen Wuxin.

The two moved swiftly, quickly dispatching the monks guarding Chen Wuxin.

Ye Ran's Zhuxian Sword shone brightly as he slashed down, severing the faint connection between the golden Buddha and Chen Wuxin. He said urgently:

"Right now!!"

"wake up!!"

Wang Xianghe instantly touched Chen Wuxin's brow, injecting his soul power into Chen Wuxin's body to awaken his dormant consciousness...

"Buzz..."

Chen Wuxin suddenly opened his eyes, his mind gradually returning to clarity.

He looked around, and his gaze fell upon his master, Shi Huaqing.

At this moment, Shi Huaqing's body was covered in red cracks, and his breathing was disordered.

Before Shi Huaqing stood the incomparably terrifying golden light of the golden Buddha.

"Master!" Chen Wuxin cried out hoarsely, his eyes filled with terror.

Hearing his disciple's call, Shi Huaqing, who was in the middle of the battle, slightly turned his head, a carefree yet gentle smile appearing on his lips.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

The next moment, the overwhelming golden light completely engulfed Shi Huaqing...

"No...no no..."

Watching Shi Huaqing completely disappear in the golden light,

Chen Wuxin's pupils suddenly contracted.

His cheeks began to twitch violently, and his lips trembled.

Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes, slid down her cheeks, gathered in drops on her chin, and fell to the ground...

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into the flesh of his palms, and blood slowly trickled down between his fingers.

My chest felt as if it had been struck by an invisible sledgehammer; my breathing became labored and painful, each inhale feeling like a thousand needles piercing my heart and lungs.

"Wuxin..." Ye Ran called out to Chen Wuxin.

But Chen Wuxin seemed not to hear.

"Master...I've come to see you..." Chen Wuxin murmured to himself, gazing at the golden light.

He slowly stood up.

As if his soul had been ripped from his body, he staggered toward the golden light.

His eyes were vacant, his face blank, as if the world had become irrelevant to him...

"Kid, calm down!!!" Seeing Chen Wuxin about to go and die, Wang Xianghe reached out to stop him.

Instantly, soul power flowed from Wang Xianghe's hand into Chen Wuxin's consciousness.

An attempt was made to use the power of the soul to bring Chen Wuxin back to his senses.

However, the injected soul power was like a deep, dark ocean.

Chen Wuxin showed no reaction, stubbornly continuing to stride towards the golden light like a walking corpse...

“His heart is dead…” Seeing this, Wang Xianghe frowned, just about to think of another way…

At this very moment,

A flash of cold light appeared.

"Bang!! Bang!!" Two crisp sounds rang out.

Chen Wuxin's knees were suddenly shattered by this cold light.

He was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground...

Even so, Chen Wuxin seemed oblivious to the pain, dragging his broken legs and crawling forward with lifeless eyes...

Seeing this scene,

Wang Xianghe felt a pang of pity and was about to intervene, but then he heard Ye Ran's icy voice:

"Don't stop him!!"

Ye Ran coldly observed Chen Wuxin, his voice as sharp as a knife:

"Your master risked his life to save you, so if you want to give it away, go ahead, no one will stop you!"

"You've always been like this, always seeking advantage and avoiding harm. When faced with danger, you only know how to run away, never daring to confront it head-on. When fighting alongside your teammates, you hide behind them. Now, facing the enemy who killed your master, you don't even have the thought of revenge; your first thought is still to die..."

At this point, Ye Ran squatted down and stared into Chen Wuxin's eyes:

"You are utterly unworthy of the Vajra Practitioner's kindness..."

Ye Ran's words, like sharp needles, pierced deeply into Chen Wuxin's heart...

"Why do you say that?! Why?! Even if I went, what could I possibly do against that golden Buddha's power...?"

Chen Wuxin was overwhelmed with emotion; his voice trembled with anger and grief.

He tried to stand up and grab Ye Ran, but his kneecaps were shattered, and he couldn't even stand up.

"Smack!!"

Before Chen Wuxin could finish speaking, Ye Ran's slap flew over.

This silenced Chen Wuxin, who touched the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and stared blankly at Ye Ran.

"Still making excuses for your cowardice..." Ye Ran glanced at him with disappointment. "How do you know you're useless if you don't even think about it?"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Ran's eyes:

"Listen, I don't have time to waste here arguing with you... If you're not thinking about revenge, we still have to go and deal with it. As for you..."

Ye Ran looked at Chen Wuxin, paused for a moment, and continued:

"If you're willing to rot in this soil, then let it rot completely... Just pretend we rescued a dog..."

After saying that,

Ye Ran stood up and, without looking back, walked with Wang Xianghe towards the golden Buddha...

Chen Wuxin stared at the two figures as they walked away, clenching her teeth until her lips turned white from the effort.

Then, Chen Wuxin suddenly raised his head, a ruthless glint in his eyes:

Tell me, what can I do now?!

Ye Ran paused slightly, but did not turn around.

His voice was calm as still water, yet it contained immense power:

"Don't ask me, ask your own heart..."

After saying that, Ye Ran continued walking.

This time, however, Ye Ran's expression was no longer so cold...

"Ye Ran, what use is this kid to you?"

As they walked, Wang Xianghe asked curiously,

Ye Ran, meanwhile, gazed at the bizarrely fanatical Buddhist believers below the stage.

Then I looked at the giant Buddha emerging from the golden light...

Muttering to myself:

"The demon in the golden robe has turned Buddhism into hell, but everything will eventually be set right in the cycle of reincarnation..."

"The seed I planted in that kid has begun to take root and sprout..."
