The copper ball, about the size of a walnut, spun around in his palm.
"Is this the Sword Pill Crimson Sky?" Ru Xin stared in surprise at the sword pill in Ye Xingchen's hand, momentarily lost in thought.
"That's right, this is the Sword Pill Crimson Sky. Do you know its origin?" Ye Xingchen looked at Ruxin in surprise.
"Its shape is that of a ball, yet it contains the essence of a sword, gathering the spirit of all weapons in heaven and earth into one. It truly is the Sword Ball Crimson Sky." Ru Xin murmured to himself, then clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha..."
His chant of the Buddha's name was as loud as a bell. As he chanted, golden light surged and a huge golden Buddha image appeared behind him.
The second level of the formless Dharma body is the Buddhas and great beings.
Previously, Ru Hai's cultivation of the formless Dharma body only grasped one aspect of it, so the Dharma body he manifested was only an Arhat.
Unlike Ruxin, behind him was a proper Buddha statue, which is the second level of the formless Dharma body, the image of all Buddhas and dragons.
A shadowy figure appeared, possessing the power of a dragon and an elephant. This strength was already between the Celestial Phenomenon and the Sainthood.
In other words, this handsome, almost otherworldly monk is just as strong as Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen's eyes turned cold as he thought to himself that this little monk was indeed strange, and his strength was not as simple as he appeared.
Ye Xingchen immediately dared not be careless. He grabbed with his right hand, and Chixiao transformed into a three-foot sword beam in his palm. He shook Chixiao and pointed it forward.
In an instant, he broke through two realms. As his inner strength was continuously added to the Crimson Sky Sword in his palm, the three-foot sword light had already grown to more than ten feet.
"Watch out!" Ye Xingchen shouted, his sword flashing as he brought it down.
The sword light of Crimson Sky in his hand streaked across the night sky, leaving a trail of ruins, and attacked the opponent like a shooting star.
Ru Xin stood motionless with his palms clasped together. The string of eighteen Buddhist beads wrapped around his hands suddenly floated up, each bead emitting a faint glow.
As his prayer beads shone brightly, with a hum, the enormous Buddha statue behind him expanded once more, striking back with a palm strike in mid-air against Ye Xingchen's sword light.
A palm and a sword clashed in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light. As this light suddenly appeared, a huge sound arose around them, and everything within a hundred feet radius of the two was reduced to dust.
As the dust settled, the Crimson Sky in Ye Xingchen's hand transformed back into a sword pellet, its radiance gone.
The Buddha statue behind Ruxin also disappeared, and the loose string of prayer beads was hung back in his palm.
Both of them looked at each other, their gazes carrying a subtle, unspoken meaning.
"Good heavens..."
"Your methods must be more than this, right?" After a long silence, Ruxin finally spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, you could directly break through the fourth realm and enter sainthood."
“You’re the same. If you use the fourth level of the Formless Dharma Body to check, the result might be different,” Ye Xingchen nodded and said.
"The result will be a lose-lose situation." Ruxin smiled: "You really are a wonderful person. I'm starting to like you a little."
"My sexual orientation is normal." Ye Xingchen was a little angry. Being told that he liked such a handsome, almost otherworldly man made him feel goosebumps all over.
"Haha, that's not what I meant. I just feel it's good to have a rival like you." Ruxin laughed heartily.
"Me too. I never expected that among people my age, there would be someone who could fight me to a standstill." Ye Xingchen said to himself, "Not bad, not bad, a worthy opponent."
“Then let’s meet again in six days.” Ru Xin stopped smiling and stared at Ye Xingchen: “Six days later, we will settle this with a duel to the death.”
“Okay, but I’m afraid you might change your mind after six days,” Ye Xingchen said.
"I came to Jinling on my master's orders, and I cannot disobey my master's orders." Ruxin shook her head: "Therefore, I will not easily change my mind."
"A master's order? Did your master tell you that?" Ye Xingchen said, "Did your master tell you to aid and abet evil?"
"I only obey my master's orders." Ruxin shook her head.
"Do you only obey your master's orders and not distinguish between good and evil?" Ye Xingchen's question left Ru Xin speechless.
He shook his head, then clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Ye Xingchen, and then turned and left.
Only after the guy had gone far away did Ye Xingchen raise his hand, and he saw that there was a wound on the tiger's mouth of his palm, and blood was flowing from his palm.
"Good heavens, we underestimated our opponent."
At the gathering of celebrities, Ru Xin returned to her room.
He had just entered a meditative state when he felt a surge in his meridians. He groaned and covered his mouth with his hand.
When he opened his palm, a smear of bright red blood had already appeared in his palm.
"What a formidable young man! Even with my dual Dharma body and the blessing of the eighteen Buddhist beads, I was still injured by him. And he wasn't even using his full strength." Ruxin murmured, "No wonder my senior brother asked me to take action this time. This kid is a tough nut to crack."
After taking a moment to calm his breathing, he slowly got up, walked to a mirror, looked in the mirror, and tidied up his slightly disheveled appearance.
He muttered to himself, "Luckily, no one saw how disheveled I looked just now, otherwise it would have really damaged my handsome and unambitious image."
"Master Ruxin..."
Just then, a charming voice came from inside, and the door opened, with Shui Xin carrying a food box.
Ruxin hurriedly returned to the hall and sat up straight, but Shuixin stared at him for a long time before bursting out laughing.
"What are you laughing at, Miss Shuixin?" Ruxin felt somewhat confused.
"I have a feeling that the master is just pretending to be serious." Shui Xin blinked her beautiful big eyes.
"Being serious isn't something you can fake." Ruxin frowned. "What do you want?"
“Oh, it’s like this. Master Ruxin doesn’t eat meat, so I specially cooked a few vegetarian dishes myself.” Shuixin held up the food box in her hand: “I don’t know if they will suit Master’s taste.”
“Delicious food is nothing more than deceiving your own tongue.” Ruxin said, “I am a monk, I don’t have such high requirements, as long as it fills my stomach, that’s enough.”
"I've already made it, please try it." Shui Xin placed a few side dishes on the table, looking at Ru Xin expectantly with her beautiful eyes.
Ruxin nodded, thanked her, and then picked up her bowl and chopsticks.
It was clear that Shuixin had put a lot of thought into these dishes. Although they were all vegetarian, they were delicious and visually appealing. Ruxin nodded and said, "Delicious."
“Then I’ll make it for the master every day from now on.” Shui Xin’s face lit up with joy.
"No need, Miss Shuixin, it's better if we keep some distance." Ruxin shook her head.
"Oh, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to thank the master for saving my life that day." Shui Xin was taken aback, feeling a little disappointed by Ru Xin's rejection.
“Buddha has the virtue of cherishing life. Don’t think that just because you are a person, I would ignore even a dog or a cat.” Ruxin shook her head and continued eating.
