The two finally came to a standstill on the surface of the lake, and after a moment, countless fish leaped up from the surface.
"Don't monks not kill? Then aren't all these creatures dying because of you?" Ye Xingchen teased, pointing to the fish floating belly-up on the lake surface.
“They did indeed…die because of me.” Ru Xin sighed softly, clasped his hands together, and silently recited the Rebirth Mantra.
“Monk, the rules of this world are not made for one person. You think you are a rule-abiding person, but sometimes you will deviate from your life’s trajectory.” Ye Xingchen said slowly, “Killing for the sake of killing is not a reasonable or justifiable reason. You think you are on the side of Heaven, but in fact, it is Heaven that has overturned the rules you have been following.”
Ru Xin remained silent. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with golden light, and at the same time, the golden Arhat behind him abruptly changed, transforming from a kind and benevolent appearance into a sinister and terrifying one.
At the same time, a purple light appeared in Ruxin's eyes, and he raised one palm, continuously chanting the Buddhist mantra.
Countless waves suddenly rose up, forming a huge water prison that locked Ye Xingchen firmly inside.
As he chanted the incantation faster and faster, countless Buddhist symbols appeared above the water prison, firmly locking Ye Xingchen inside.
Pointing to the void as a prison, the purple light in Ru Xin's eyes grew stronger and stronger. Just then, the Arhat behind him, who had already transformed, roared and his eyes flashed with ferocity.
A colossal figure rose high, and at the same time, a gigantic right hand extended, transforming into a blade, and then slashed heavily down towards the water prison where Ye Xingchen was located...
"You dog monk, use your killing move?" Ye Xingchen was furious. In the water prison, he swung the Crimson Cloud sword forward, and golden light suddenly rose from his body. At the same time, the golden pattern on his forehead reappeared.
Several sword beams shot into the sky, and the water prison, which was originally wrapped in layers of Buddhist incantations, changed in an instant, with several sword beams forcibly squeezing out from inside.
Boom... The water prison suddenly exploded, and Ru Xin staggered back two steps. At the same time, the blackened man behind him suddenly disappeared.
But then he clasped his hands together tightly, and another Dharma body surged forth, while purple light reappeared in his eyes.
Then, accompanied by a dragon's roar, another enormous Arhat formed behind him.
Moreover, a golden dragon circled around the Arhat once before disappearing from the top of his head...
"Is this ever going to end?" Ye Xingchen was utterly speechless. Just how many avatars did this guy have? And each of the avatars he summoned was stronger than the last. How was he supposed to compete with this?
As the enormous hand slammed down from above, Ye Xingchen had no choice but to grab Chixiao and clash head-on with it.
Ru Xin roared in fury, his hands moving rapidly as he controlled the golden Arhat statue behind him to relentlessly attack Ye Xingchen.
"He's gone mad." Ye Xingchen replied helplessly; this guy was acting strangely.
After a frantic burst of attacks, the purple light in Ru Xin's eyes suddenly turned faintly red, and he felt as if a ball of anger in his chest was about to explode.
In his mind, the image of the corpses scattered all over the ground reappeared.
A faint smell of blood seemed to reach directly into my nostrils.
The illusion reappeared at this critical moment.
Time seemed to have moved forward again, and a figure dressed in a gray monk's robe was surrounded by a faint Buddhist aura.
He wielded a huge monk's knife, weaving through the crowd. With each swing of the knife, a figure fell to the ground wherever it struck.
Although the figure's features were unclear, it was recognizable as a monk...
However, Ru Xin was extremely familiar with the monk's knife in his hand. It was the very knife of his senior brother Ru Chen, who had taken him back to the Great Wuxiang Temple and accepted him as a disciple on behalf of their master.
Even now, the sword still hangs in his bedroom, untouched for twenty years.
Ru Xin's hands froze, and the crimson light in his eyes grew stronger.
He couldn't believe, nor dared to imagine, that the villain who killed his closest relatives and the entire village was actually his senior brother whom he had respected for twenty years.
That senior brother who taught him in place of his master, that senior brother who treated him like a father, that kind-faced senior brother who wouldn't even kill a mosquito...
"Why...why?" Ru Xin roared in fury, and the huge Arhat statue behind him let out a deafening roar.
Boom boom boom... The powerful true energy spread out in all directions, shaking the entire Dangming Lake and causing waves to surge.
"Fine, he's gone mad." Ye Xingchen retreated a hundred feet away, letting the guy go crazy here.
Ru Xin roared to the sky, her Dharma body constantly changing behind her. Ye Xingchen witnessed a high-level formless Dharma body.
Subduing Dragon, Taming Tiger, Golden Body—this guy actually changed more than ten Dharma bodies in a short period of time, which made Ye Xingchen somewhat alarmed.
It seems this guy is stronger than I thought. Even if I'm possessed by inner demons, I still have to be careful. Otherwise, I'll be risking my life.
More than half an hour passed, and the guy was still in a rage.
Ye Xingchen saw that things were not going well, and he originally thought that his true energy would be almost exhausted in half an hour.
But if this continues, this guy will eventually run out of energy and die.
Watching him die was not something Ye Xingchen wanted to see either.
Speaking of Chi Xiao, he had been looking for an opportunity, but the guy's rage was endless, and he hadn't found one yet.
Seeing that time was running out and they couldn't keep wasting time like this, Ye Xingchen gritted his teeth, picked up the Crimson Sky sword, and leaped into the air.
His figure flashed through the air, covering more than a hundred feet in an instant.
A sword light suddenly shot into the sky, piercing through the golden light and breaking through the defense. A person and a sword rushed towards Ruxin.
Ru Xin's eyes flashed with crimson light. He roared and threw a punch at Ye Xingchen.
Bang... Ye Xingchen was hit, but his figure immediately split into five, transforming into six figures that surged from all directions.
The phantoms then merged into one, passing by Ruxin's figure.
*Thud...* Ye Xingchen was struck in the chest by the other party's finger, and blood seeped out. At the same time, Ruxin's wrist was also locked by him.
At the same time, six Taoist seal characters floated out, dispersed, and disappeared into Ruxin's body.
The Taoist method of purifying the mind helps to calm and suppress inner demons.
Ruxin's eyes regained their clarity, and the Dharma image behind him slowly disappeared.
Ye Xingchen took two steps back, used his fingers to stop the bleeding, and then let out a long sigh.
A look of confusion crossed Ru Xin's face, but his gaze gradually focused.
Looking at the almost completely destroyed surroundings, he was shocked. He stretched out his hands and saw that there was still blood on his fingertips.
He suddenly looked up and saw Ye Xingchen, who was still covered in blood, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
