Hearing the words of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, the Emperor jumped down from the highest point and landed not far away.
He looked at the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and said in a cold voice: "This emperor is not here to debate Buddhism with you. According to what you said, the four great masters of transformation should also be killed?"
"The Four Great Transformations?"
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai's eyes flashed, and then he thought of something.
"You mean the four Hua Jin who were killed?"
“That’s right!”
The emperor had a cold expression and his gorgeous robe fluttered in the wind.
"They want to plunder Chinese warriors, so naturally... they deserve to be killed."
The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at the Emperor, turning the fine steel Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Emperor, you don't think that the old monk killed them, do you?"
"Why, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai dares to do it but not take responsibility? He killed everyone, and now he doesn't dare to admit it?"
The emperor said coldly.
"Amitabha, monks do not tell lies. If I killed them, I will admit it... I have never been afraid to admit killing someone."
The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai chanted a Buddhist name and spoke slowly.
When the Emperor heard the words of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, his heart moved. Could it really not be him?
This was not the first time he had met the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, and he had some understanding of him... It was just as the old monk said, if he really killed someone, he would not deny it.
Could it be that... the murderer is someone else?
But looking at his method of killing, it was exactly the same as that of the old monk. He used a blunt object... to break open the head!
The Emperor's gaze fell on the fine steel bead in the hand of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai. This... was his weapon!
"Since you're already here, why hide?"
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked around again and spoke slowly.
Swish, swish, swish!
Following the words of Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, all the surrounding Hua Jin masters appeared and landed in the courtyard of the temple.
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked around, and a bit of surprise appeared on his old face, saying, "Emperor, you think highly of me and brought so many people with you."
The Emperor came out of his thoughts when he heard the words of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.
Since he's here tonight, no matter whether the four Hua Jin were killed by the old monk or not, this account... must be counted on him.
In other words, tonight... there is no way they will let the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai go.
"Ghost Buddha, where is Xue Chunqiu?"
The emperor thought of something and looked around again, feeling it carefully, it seemed that... he did not sense the breath of Sword God Xue Chunqiu.
However, in another Zen room, there seemed to be the presence of a master.
"Donor Xue? How would this old monk know where Donor Xue is?"
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai shook his head.
"Don't know? As the leaders of the Chinese warriors this time, how could you not have any contact?"
The emperor said this coldly and made a gesture.
The two Hua Jin masters nodded and walked quickly towards the meditation room.
Before they could get close, the door of the meditation room opened and a thin monk in his fifties walked out.
His attire was obviously different from that of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, as he wore a yellow monk's robe.
The emperor glanced at the monk and frowned slightly. A monk from an island country?
Then, he thought of something. Is this the only monk left in the temple?
"I greet the Emperor."
The thin monk walked forward slowly, bent slightly, and put his hands together.
"Why do you dare to take in Chinese warriors?"
The emperor asked coldly.
"Why do you say that, Your Majesty? The Buddha and I...are exchanging Buddhist teachings, nothing else is involved."
The thin monk said slowly.
"Really? You are Jianfa's disciple, right? For Jianfa's sake, I will not bother with you tonight..."
After the emperor finished speaking, he no longer looked at the thin monk.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty, Buddhism is a pure land..."
The thin monk wanted to say something else.
"Tianno!"
The emperor frowned and shouted coldly.
"I let you go because of your deceased master... Otherwise, I would kill you just for colluding with the Chinese warriors!"
"Haha, Emperor, you are still as domineering as ever..."
The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai suddenly smiled and gently turned the fine steel beads in his hand.
“I heard that the Emperor has been in the half-step Xiantian realm for many years… Since you are here, I would like to ask for your advice.”
"You are indeed half a step into the innate realm."
When the Emperor saw the devil Buddha Zhao Rulai take the initiative to challenge him to a fight, he narrowed his eyes, and a hint of fighting spirit rose in his heart.
"Amitabha……"
The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai did not answer the Emperor's words, but chanted a Buddhist name and took a step forward.
"kill!"
The emperor shouted coldly, without further ado, his body flashed, and turned into a residual shadow, rushing towards the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.
Swish!
When the emperor approached, the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai suddenly swung the fine steel beads in his hand, making a whistling sound and smashing over.
Bang!
The emperor threw a punch, which collided with the steel bead, and the two separated at the touch.
The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai's eyelids, which had been drooping, now opened and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Then, the tattered monk's robe on his body began to swell up...and his entire aura changed.
"Sure enough, he has reached the half-step innate stage. Let's fight!"
The emperor sneered and a short knife appeared in his hand.
"Amitabha……"
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said lightly and rushed towards the Emperor.
The two men fought each other in an instant, and turned into two shadows, one gray and one yellow, with fighting spirit rising to the sky.
The faces of the Hua Jin masters around changed. Is this the power of half a step to innateness?
The Emperor...seems like he hasn't made a public move in many years.
This old monk... is also very powerful!
The eyelids of several masters in the middle stage of Hua Jin twitched. They felt that... as soon as they got involved, they would be killed immediately!
This is the difference!
Although half a step to the innate realm is not considered a separate realm, it is just one step after the great perfection of transformation energy, and is only half a step away from another innate realm...
But this half step makes a huge difference!
It is said that if some people who have reached the great perfection of Hua Jin take this step, their combat power... can be doubled!
Therefore, over time, the half-step to innateness has been regarded as a new realm in martial arts, also known as the "pseudo-innate" realm.
Bang bang bang!
The fight between the two continued. Both of them, who had reached the great perfection of Hua Jin, frowned slightly. There was still a gap between them.
They were wondering whether or not to join the battle... Perhaps, they could become stronger in the battle and get closer to reaching the half-step innate state!
Bang!
The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and the Emperor finally separated, and their clothes... were torn.
It can be seen that...the two seem to be evenly matched.
The emperor looked down at his chest, and there... was a hole.
Just now, the steel ball of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai almost broke through his defense!
"You...are stronger than I thought."
The Emperor raised his head, looked at the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, and said coldly.
"You...are weaker than I imagined."
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at the Emperor and chuckled.
"The Emperor... is no more than that."
"court death!"
The emperor's expression turned cold, and he attacked the ghost Buddha Tathagata again.
"One thought is Buddha, one thought is devil. If Buddha stands in my way, I will kill Buddha. If devil stands in my way, I will kill devil. I am the Ghost Buddha!"
Suddenly, a long roar was heard, and the fighting ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai's fighting spirit soared to the sky.
"not good!"
The emperor was startled and retreated rapidly.
"kill!"
The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai no longer had the indifferent attitude he had just had, and now he was emitting a strong killing intent...
The faces of the Hua Jin masters around also changed. What was going on?
The Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai at this moment was completely different from before.
"Amitabha."
The thin monk put his hands together, bent slightly, and chanted a Buddhist name to the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.
"Surround and kill together!"
The Emperor stared at the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, with a flash of fear in his eyes.
Is this the real Ghost Buddha?
"Hi!"
Although the masters of Hua Jin around were frightened, they dared not disobey the emperor's order!
At the same time, they were shocked. Could it be that even the Emperor could not defeat the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai at this moment?
Otherwise, how could they be allowed to surround and kill together!
Thoughts flashed through their minds, and many masters of Hua Jin rushed towards the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked coldly at the expert who was rushing towards him, and the Buddhist beads in his hand... whizzed out.
Bang!
A goose egg-sized bead hit the head of a middle-stage Hua Jin expert.
Almost instantly, the master's head shattered!
The headless body fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Everyone was shocked. Kill with one strike?
So strong!
The ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai who killed a man was filled with murderous aura... At this moment, he no longer looked like the enlightened monk he was before!
"Baka!"
The emperor cursed in his heart and attacked the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai.
The strength of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai was indeed beyond his expectations.
However... he has been in the half-step innate realm for many years and is not afraid of the Ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata.
What's more... he has so many masters of Hua Jin on his side!
"Amitabha."
As the emperor joined the battle, the thin monk stopped watching and rushed in instantly.
"You're looking for death!"
When the emperor saw the thin monk joining him, he shouted angrily.
"Two people, go and kill him!"
"Hi!"
Two masters in the late stage of Hua Jin stopped the thin monk and fought with him.
The thin monk's fighting spirit is also rising...
"The peak of the late stage of Hua Jin?!"
The two masters were shocked. How could such a master be hidden in this dilapidated temple in Tokyo?
The emperor was also slightly surprised. How could he not know?
The identification method back then was about this level of ability, right?
Looking at the age of the thin monk, even if he is given another twenty years, he may... not be able to take the half-step to the innate realm!
Another master!
"How dare you help the Chinese warriors?"
The emperor looked at the thin monk and said angrily.
"Amitabha, in the eyes of monks, there is no distinction between men and women, young and old, and naturally... there is no distinction between Chinese and Japanese. Buddha is a distinguished guest of mine, and I cannot watch you and others surround and kill him."
As the thin monk was speaking, he knocked back a master in the late stage of Hua Jin with one punch.
"Okay, then I'll kill you first! Nakano, you go!"
The Emperor shouted angrily, speaking to an old man who had reached the great perfection of Hua Jin.
"good."
The old man nodded, left the battle circle, and killed the thin monk.
"Amitabha……"
The thin monk was not afraid at all and fought with him without retreating.
"Emperor, you have disappointed this old monk!"
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at the Emperor and said coldly.
"You don't even have the courage to fight this old monk alone?"
"Why should I fight you? Kill you!"
The emperor shouted loudly and slashed at the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai with a knife.
