Just as the Emperor was losing his temper, Xiao Chen and the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai stopped in the park not far away.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Xiao Chen took a few deep breaths. It was a close call. He almost couldn't escape.

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was also leaning against a tree, gasping for breath... He had just taken a pill, and his face looked a little rosy.

"They won't chase us, will they?"

Xiao Chen looked towards the Emperor and muttered to himself.

"No."

The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

"Then let's take a break here."

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Chen sat down next to him and took out a porcelain bottle from his bone ring.

"Come on, Master, take another one."

The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai stared at the porcelain bottle in Xiao Chen's hand. It appeared out of thin air again!

Xiao Chen noticed the gaze of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, and his heart sank. Oh no... the bone ring has been exposed.

"Well... Master, you won't rob me again, right?"

Xiao Chen wasn't too nervous. The old monk was seriously injured, but he was not afraid at all... Even if the old monk was in peak condition, he could still give him a fight.

He is no longer the same person he used to be, and he has no power to fight back at all!

But then I thought about it, the old monk was able to escape from the Emperor and the many Hua Jins and break out of the siege... Could he also be a half-step innate?

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen became a little alert. If the old monk was really half a step away from being a innate cultivator, then that would be a bit dangerous.

"Although I have killed countless people, you saved my life, so naturally... I won't have any thoughts."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai could sense the change in Xiao Chen's aura and said lightly.

"Haha, that's good. I knew that the master was a principled and enlightened monk."

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

In fact, the old monk's performance tonight was beyond his expectations. He let him run away several times... and even wanted to stop the emperor at all costs.

In the past, he always felt that this old monk had lost his human emotions through his practice of Buddhism, and was also bloodthirsty... That was why he was given the title of 'Ghost Buddha'.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

"Storage space?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai did not respond to Xiao Chen's words and asked.

"Yeah, a storage ring."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Storage ring... a legendary magic weapon."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai's eyes fell on Xiao Chen's bone ring and spoke slowly.

"I never thought you would get such a magic weapon."

"Haha, I've always had good luck."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Come on, Master, take the medicine first."

"Um."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai nodded, took the pill and swallowed it again.

"The Xuanyuan Sword also chose you back then... It seems that you are the chosen one of this era!"

"The Chosen One? Hmm... that's a good way of saying it. Some people say I'm the protagonist. Haha, I think so too."

Xiao Chen smiled, poured out the pill and swallowed it himself.

"Why is the Xuanyuan Blade in your hand?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai moved his eyes away from the bone ring, thought of something, and asked.

"Could it be that what I guessed is true, that the Xuanyuan Blade...has actually been in your hands all along?"

"No, I just killed Kameda Luan Lun tonight..."

Xiao Chen had no intention of admitting that he had the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. Anyway, he had already killed Kameda Luanlun, and only a few people knew what had happened.

"You killed Kameda Luan Lun?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was a little surprised.

"You found him?"

"Well, he's hiding in Kyoto."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"After arriving in Tokyo, I have been looking for Kameda Luanlun, but there has been no news of him..."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said slowly.

"I didn't expect that... after a circle, the Xuanyuan Blade still fell into your hands."

"Haha, some things are indeed destined... Just like what Master said just now, Xuanyuan Blade chose me in the beginning, that was destined."

Xiao Chen smiled. He was also telling the old monk what to do, telling him not to think about snatching the knife anymore.

The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai naturally heard the hidden meaning of Xiao Chen's words and chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't snatch the sword from you... but you have to protect the Xuanyuan Sword. If it falls into the hands of others, then I won't be polite."

"Well, no one can take it away."

Xiao Chen nodded, feeling a little surprised.

"Master, you are not an expert with a knife... I can understand that the knife god Xue Chunqiu tried to grab the knife, but why did you try to grab the knife?"

"What the old monk wants is not the sword, but... the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan! Rumor has it that the Xuanyuan Sword contains the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan."

When the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said this, he felt something in his heart.

"The inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, you have not obtained it, have you? No, you just got the sword back tonight... But before that, the Xuanyuan Sword was in your hands for a long time."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was also shocked by Xiao Chen's strength. He was growing too fast...

When he first met Xiao Chen at the Longmen Inn, he was somewhat surprised by Xiao Chen's talent and strength. He was attracted by his talent and wanted to take him as his apprentice!

Later, Xiao Chen did not agree, and Nie Jingfeng also interfered, so he failed to achieve his goal.

But it has only been a short time and Xiao Chen has grown to this point!

Apart from obtaining the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

"No."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"This broken sword... has nothing to do with Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance. At least I haven't seen it."

Speaking of this, Xiao Chen felt unhappy. If this knife hadn't become more and more powerful and easier to use, he really wouldn't like to use it.

Furthermore, his Duankong Sword disappeared, and he could only use the Xuanyuan Sword.

"No?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Ru came to see Xiao Chen, he should not be lying.

Without any inheritance, he became so powerful in such a short time... It's unbelievable!

"Kameta Luanlun has reached the Great Perfection of Hua Jin, right? He should be infinitely close to the Half-Step Xiantian state... and you actually killed him?"

"Well, if I hadn't found him tonight...he would have been half a step to the innate realm by tomorrow."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"That old devil is indeed very strong. Among those who have reached the Great Perfection of Transformation Energy, he is also the top one.

"Well, if he wasn't strong, then... he wouldn't have been able to escape."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said slowly.

"I didn't expect that you actually possess the combat power of the Great Perfection of Hua Jin. It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead."

"Haha, Master, please stop praising me... You are also very powerful. The Emperor and so many Huajin masters didn't keep you."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"By the way, Master, what's going on?"

"I have been hiding in a temple. Tonight, the Emperor brought a dozen or so Huajin masters to the temple..."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai did not hide it from Xiao Chen and said in a deep voice.

"As soon as they arrived, I felt it... I was also surprised to see their camp. They actually looked up to me."

"More than a dozen Huajin masters?"

Xiao Chen noticed this and widened his eyes. There were only about ten people chasing him just now, right? Ten? Or eleven? What about the rest?

"Yes, more than a dozen. The old monk killed several of them."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai nodded, his tone flat, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes widened. How many people were killed?

This old monk... is definitely half a step away from being a master of the innate realm!

If you want to achieve the Great Perfection of Hua Jin, it is absolutely impossible to do it!

Even when surrounded by half-step innate and a dozen people of transformation strength, he was still able to kill a few of them and then break out of the encirclement. Only a half-step innate person could have this possibility!

"Haha, that's right, this old monk... is also at the half-step innate realm."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai saw Xiao Chen's reaction and said with a smile.

"Half a step to the innate..."

Xiao Chen looked at the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai. When did... half-step innate become a common thing?

Could it be that Sword God Xue Chunqiu and the others are also half a step to the innate realm?

"If you don't reach the Xiantian realm, you are all mortals...Aren't they the same at any realm?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said lightly.

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless. How could half a step to innateness and the early stage of dark energy be the same?

"Master, where is Xue Chunqiu? Is he also half a step into the innate realm?"

"He...isn't he almost there?"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai pondered for a moment and said.

"He is not Thunder God yet, he has just reached the Great Perfection of Transformation Energy."

"Uh-huh……"

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not a simple cabbage.

He has finally reached the level of Perfect Transformation, and it would be too frustrating if he found out that he has only reached the level of Half-step Innate.

"The old monk asked the emperor why he came, and he said...I killed four masters of Huajin!"

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai continued to talk to Xiao Chen.

"Four Huajin masters were killed. I also got the news, but it was definitely not me who did it. I don't know why the Emperor thought it was me who did it."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen had a strange look on his face. The Emperor went to cause trouble for the old monk just because of those four Hua Jin masters?

In other words, the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was being hunted tonight, but in the final analysis, it was all his own fault?

But it was such a coincidence that I encountered him being chased again and rescued him.

This is the cycle of nature, is there cause and effect?

Xiao Chen subconsciously looked up. What exactly is Heaven's Way? Does it really exist? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

The old fortune teller said that we should not not believe in God, but we should not believe in God completely either...

Is everything destined?

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God..."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

"I don't know if he escaped... If he was really killed, it would be the old monk who implicated him."

The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai spoke slowly and chanted a Buddhist name.

"Amitabha, I hope... he can escape this disaster."

"Um."

Xiao Chen did not mention that he was the one who killed the four Hua Jin masters. There was no need to do so.

"Master, what are your plans next?"

"Let's find a place to recover first... Now that you have obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, it's time to leave the island country."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"No, how can you just leave like this... Master, don't you want to take revenge? Are you going to let people hunt you down for nothing?"

Xiao Chen was anxious. This was a really awesome fighter, much more reliable than that guy Zhao Lao Mo. He had to stay!
