"Heh, hypocrite. In fact, that's who I am. I'm a fickle, ruthless killer who'll kill at the slightest provocation." Liang Chenghu laughed. He suddenly drew his gun, took a few steps back, and pointed it at Shui Xin's forehead: "Stand still."
"Second Master, no..." Shui Xin's eyes were brimming with tears, looking pitiful.
“It’s all fate, no one can be blamed.” Liang Chenghu revealed a playful smile, then raised the gun in his hand and fired three shots without hesitation.
Bang bang bang...
At the same moment the gunshot rang out, a Buddhist chant rang out: "Amitabha."
Immediately, a ripple appeared in the void, like a wave of water.
The speed of the three bullets slowed down in an instant, and the streaks of light they left in the air were clearly visible.
Immediately afterwards, layers of water rapidly thickened, rising in mid-air like a wave.
The three bullets were frozen in mid-air, and the surroundings became eerily quiet for a moment, as if time had stood still.
As soon as the door opened, a young and handsome monk slowly walked in. The monk was very young, with a fair complexion and a faint purple hue deep in his pupils. His appearance was so handsome that it was almost otherworldly.
"This is a demonic monk," was the thought that crossed Liang Chenghu's mind when he saw the monk.
And this monk was none other than Ruxin, the monk Ye Xingchen had met on the high-speed train when he came to Jinling.
He is the junior brother of Ruchen, the abbot of Dawuxiang Temple, and one of the five eminent monks of the Ruzi school of Dawuxiang Temple.
He was dozens of meters away from Liang Chenghu, but he burst through the door, took a step forward, and instantly reached Liang Chenghu's side.
The moment the Buddhist chant began, Liang Chenghu felt his whole body stiffen and turn ice-cold, unable to move at all.
He watched helplessly as the monk walked up to him, extended two fingers, and used them to remove the three bullets that were suspended in mid-air.
"Those who have many desires seek much profit, and therefore suffer much misery."
Ru Xin uttered a single sentence calmly, then opened her right palm, and three bullets fell to the ground.
The moment the bullet fell, time seemed to freeze around them, and Shui Xin collapsed to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath. She had truly just escaped death.
"Who are you?" Liang Chenghu, now free, stared coldly at Ruxin. His intuition told him that this monk must have come from Dawuxiang Temple.
He asked the Dawuxiang Temple for help, requesting them to send another expert to deal with Ye Xingchen, but the Dawuxiang Temple only sent this young monk.
"My Buddhist name is Ruxin. I am a disciple of the Great Wuxiang Temple, the Divine Monk Kongru." Ruxin raised one palm and slowly bowed to Liang Chenghu.
“The Ru-character faction?” Liang Chenghu was stunned for a moment, his gaze becoming even sharper: “The Ru-character faction has five members. Ru Hai is dead, so there are only four left.”
"These four are all eminent monks of Dawuxiang Temple, and they are disciples of Master Kongru. However, Master Kongru has been dead for at least twenty years. How could you have been a disciple of Master Kongru since you were born?"
"No, when I entered the Great Wuxiang Temple, Master Kongru had indeed passed away." Ruxin smiled faintly, "But when my senior brother Ruchen entered a meditative state, he unexpectedly saw our deceased master, so he took me as his disciple on behalf of our master and taught me on his behalf."
Liang Chenghu frowned, his expression shifting between light and dark.
Actually, he already believed about 60% of what the monk said, but he failed to kill the person earlier, so he had a burning anger inside that he couldn't vent.
"Why are you stopping me from killing, Master?"
“Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life.” Ru Xin smiled slightly: “I felt sorry for this girl, so I saved her life and formed a good connection.”
"Perhaps what you've sown isn't good karma, but bad karma?" Liang Chenghu sneered, picking up his gun again and pointing it at Shui Xin: "What if I insist on killing her today?"
"Then Second Master, you may step over my dead body," Ruxin said with a calm smile.
"You want to die in her place? I'll grant your wish." Liang Chenghu turned the gun in his hand and pointed it at Ruxin.
Ru Xin remained calm, neither dodging nor flinching.
Bang……
Liang Chenghu fired the gun directly, and Shui Xin screamed in terror.
However, his gaze froze, and he looked at Ruxin in disbelief. He saw that his shot had hit Ruxin squarely in the left shoulder, and blood immediately flowed into Ruxin's shoulder.
"Why didn't you dodge?" Liang Chenghu was a little confused. Ruxin was very strong. The high monks of the Ruzi Sect were at least at the Celestial Phenomenon level.
Even if he didn't dodge, he would have had enough internal energy to block the shot the moment it rang out.
His shot was purely for venting his anger, but he didn't expect Ruxin to not only not dodge, but also not even use her internal energy, so the shot really hit him.
Even if it's a celestial phenomenon, if you don't use your internal energy, a bullet can still hurt your mortal body.
"Why dodge? Second Master has murderous intent in his heart. It's easy for him to dodge your bullet, but this girl will still be killed by you sooner or later." Ruxin said, "Why not shoot me instead, so that Second Master's murderous intent will be extinguished, and I can bear all the consequences?"
"Good, good, as expected of a high monk of the Ruzi School, as expected of a disciple of the Divine Monk." The murderous intent in Liang Chenghu's eyes gradually disappeared. He coldly said to Shui Xin, "Go back to your Celebrity Club. You are not allowed to come here again without my permission, or I will kill you."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Shui Xin bowed slightly to Liang Chenghu and then withdrew.
In the instant she closed the door and left, she gave Ruxin a deep look, memorizing the monk's appearance.
"I'll go get the doctor," Liang Chenghu said.
"No need." Ru Xin shook his head, closed his eyes, and a faint golden light emanated from his body.
Then, with a soft "poof," the bullet lodged in his shoulder was forced out. He touched his body with his hand, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
However, most of his white monk's robe had been stained red, making him look even more eerie.
"Heh, that woman is nothing but a plaything I've almost worn out. If Master Ruxin likes women, I have plenty here." Liang Chenghu sneered.
“I am a Buddhist woman, I do not associate with women, nor do I drink alcohol or eat meat.” Ruxin shook her head.
"That's strange. You don't look like a proper monk," Liang Chenghu said, glancing at Ruxin.
"Judging people by their appearance is wrong in itself." Ru Xin smiled slightly. His first impression was that of a wicked monk, but appearance aside, he was a legitimate monk from Da Wu Xiang Temple.
"Did Ru Chen send you?" Liang Chenghu asked.
“Yes.” Ruxin nodded.
"Then you know what your mission is here, right?" Liang Chenghu said.
"I will do whatever you command, Second Master. I will do whatever you tell me to do. If you tell me to kill you, I will kill you," Ruxin said.
