Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1136: One Question, Three Answers – No Killing

Murong Ruoshui, what a spoiled young master! He was the one who stopped Jian Chenqing, and he was alone.

"Auntie, you look so pitiful when you're injured. You show me a different side of yourself, and I almost don't have the heart to kill you!"

Murong Ruoshui dodged and struck Jian Chenqing with a palm.

Jian Chenqing frowned slightly. She had no choice but to take the blow, because Murong Ruoshui was aiming for her heart.

If it were anywhere else, Jian Chenqing wouldn't have taken this move, because although it seemed sharp and powerful, she couldn't sense any killing intent from it, which was abnormal!

Jian Chenqing was naturally unable to withstand this attack and was sent flying backward, collapsing to the ground and unable to get up!

"Qingbo Sword, Raoqing Concubine, Aunt, I've always wanted to know what it's like when you're in love. It's a pity I was born too late. How about you keep me company tonight?"

Murong Ruoshui slowly walked towards Jian Chenqing.

"Shameless!"

Mu Qingxue and the masked man arrived.

Mu Qingxue flew down to Jian Chenqing's side and helped her up.

"Uncle, kill him!"

The masked man moved swiftly and struck Murong Ruoshui with a palm.

What happened next shocked the three of them!

Murong Ruoshui not only withstood the masked man's palm strike, but also managed to repel him.

"Hey, little kid, you're quite interesting!"

“Senior, this is a family matter of the Murong clan of Youzhou. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect should not interfere!”

"Really? You're quite the talker at such a young age!"

The masked man hadn't really taken Murong Ruoshui seriously, so his moves were quite casual. But Murong Ruoshui not only parried them but also forced him back, which was really unexpected!

The masked man was serious this time, but Murong Ruoshui actually exchanged three more blows with him.

"Alas, the martial world has truly changed; new faces emerge one after another, overshadowing the old!"

The masked man formed hand seals, and his aura continued to rise.

Murong Ruoshui frowned in deep thought, and said softly:

"Senior, I'll ask you for guidance another day!"

After Murong Ruoshui finished speaking, she waved her hand!

"I rely on!"

With a furious roar, the masked man unleashed his concentrated palm strike towards the backs of Mu Qingxue and Jian Chenqing.

A hail of arrows rained down on us!

The masked man blocked the rain of arrows, but he seemed to be injured as well. He then carried Mu Qingxue and the other woman directly into the night.

Murong Ruoshui shook her head and sighed softly:

"Sigh, it was supposed to be so simple, but they had to make it so complicated and troublesome!"

Murong Ruoshui also flew away.

As for Shen Yichen and Yixuan, their auras were difficult for others to detect because of the Void Dust Pearl and the Heavenly Phase Dragon.

Shen Yichen carried Yixuan through the dark alleys, not knowing where he was.

"Yixuan, were you injured before?"

"Sigh, it's still more comfortable to hug than to carry me, young master, you should hug me more often in the future!"

As soon as Yi Xuan finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen was startled!

"Yi Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's all because of you. I stopped Mr. Mo Fan for you. The people of Yanquan are shameless. They bully the weak. He has a higher status than a sect leader, yet he dared to attack a nobody like me. I despise him!"

Shen Yichen was startled upon hearing this!

"You...you fought with Mr. Mo Fan?"

"Young Master, I'm still the one who treats you better! Miss Mu actually stood by and did nothing, she deserves to die!"

Shen Yichen suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked down at Yixuan, and asked nervously:

"You, you've set up another trap to kill Mu Qingxue?"

"Young Master, is this how you set up a killing trap? Am I going to kill myself?"

Shen Yichen didn't believe Yixuan's words. He wanted to go back to find Mu Qingxue, but it seemed that it was too late.

Shen Yichen was stopped by a handsome young monk!

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were in the shadows, while the monk stood in the light. The brightly lit building was probably a brothel, with the sounds of women coming from inside.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were both very nervous. Although the monk hadn't made a move, they both had a very bad feeling about the situation.

"Young Master, I... I'm not really going to die with you, am I? Is the Yanquan Jianghu all about the strong bullying the weak?"

After Yi Xuan finished speaking, he actually hugged Shen Yi Chen tightly.

"Yi Xuan, isn't anyone secretly protecting you? Bring out the people from your Tianxianglong!"

"Young Master, do you think it's possible? Look at Tianxianglong for yourself!"

Shen Yichen didn't need to look to know that he had taken a step forward with courage, but he dared not take a second step.

"Master, isn't it against the Buddha's heart that monks have such strong killing intent?"

Shen Yichen had no choice but to face it!

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk has a question in his mind, and I humbly request the Chosen One to enlighten me!"

Shen Yichen was shocked. He exchanged a glance with Yixuan. They really had come to kill him.

"Master, what is the chosen one? This is the question in my heart, and I cannot answer your question!"

"Amitabha Buddha, then this humble monk may ask the young master of the Ji family if I may respond?"

"Master, my surname is Shen, and my given name is Yichen. You have the wrong person!"

Yi Xuan nestled in Shen Yi Chen's arms, quietly watching him. He no longer seemed nervous; his gaze held appreciation and tenderness.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk humbly requests your guidance, Benefactor Shen!"

Shen Yichen was frustrated. He bit his lip, pondered for a moment, and then said softly:

"I dare not presume to offer my guidance, Master. I seek only life, not death!"

"Amitabha Buddha, if killing an innocent person can save an entire village, Benefactor Shen, will you kill or not?"

"Don't kill!"

Shen Yichen's response was swift and decisive; he only wanted to survive!

"Amitabha Buddha, if killing an innocent person could save the people of a city or a region, should we kill or not?"

"Don't kill!"

Without hesitation, Shen Yichen spoke his mind.

"Amitabha Buddha, if it could save all sentient beings, should we kill or not?"

"Don't kill!"

Shen Yichen's answer was to kill. If his death could save the world and all its people, Shen Yichen would choose to die, but not be killed; he would choose to die himself!

“Amitabha Buddha, as the Buddha said, ‘If I don’t go to hell, who will?’ Benefactor Shen, if you don’t kill yourself for the sake of the world, then the Buddha is willing to kill you for the sake of the world!”

"Senior, are you sure you can kill me? The Chosen One, can Buddha kill him?"

Shen Yichen put Yixuan down; he wanted to test just how strong he really was!

"Young Master, I also believe he cannot kill you. If there is anyone in this world who can kill you, I hope that person is me!"

Yi Xuan leaned on Shen Yichen's shoulder, asking himself inwardly:

"Do I really have the intention to kill him?"

Just as Shen Yichen was about to push Yixuan away, Zishan Ji Xuanren flew down in front of the two of them.

Shen Yichen frowned!

"Senior, please take Yixuan and leave this place first. I'll handle this myself!"

Princess Zishan Xuanren did not move.

“Senior, as the young master of the Ji family, I order you to take him away. I will handle things here myself!”

Yi Xuan and Ji Xuanren were both a little confused, but Ji Xuanren in purple robes still helped Yi Xuan up.

"Alas, is it worth testing me with your life, young master?"

Shen Yichen's heart was broken!

Yi-hyun is so smart!

"Yi Xuan, then let's see if you'll save me or not!"

"Take care of yourself, young master. We'll take our leave now!"

Yi Xuan did not reveal his identity; he truly did not care about Shen Yichen's life or death.

Shen Yichen was slightly stunned!

"Are you really not Ji Yixuan?"

"Hmph, young master, you should know how to verify my identity!"

After Yi Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Xuanren.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Don't you understand the young master's orders?"

Ji Xuanren didn't move; she was waiting for Shen Yichen's order.

"Senior, take him with you, he's badly injured!"

Ji Xuanren's expression changed slightly, but she still took Yi Xuan with her and flew away.

"Master, if one day my death can save all living beings, I promise you, I will die, but not now!"

"Amitabha, Benefactor Shen, it's too late!"

The handsome monk moved swiftly and struck Shen Yichen with a palm.

Shen Yichen looked horrified and exclaimed:

"Buddha Spirit!"

Shen Yichen condensed a piece of Xuanling Essence in his hand and met the Buddha Essence.

Shen Yichen's Xuanling Essence shattered instantly, and the Buddha Essence was imprinted on Shen Yichen's body.

Shen Yichen's Ice Ink Armor appeared out of thin air, dissolving the remaining Buddhist spiritual energy.

Shen Yichen flew backward and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

The young monk exclaimed in surprise:

"Ice Ink Armor!"

Shen Yichen lay on the ground, feeling somewhat disappointed. He had wanted to test the changes in his heart meridian by taking advantage of his injury, but there were no changes at all.

Shen Yichen could only summon the Ice Ink Armor.

"Master, is there anything special about the Ice Ink Armor? How do you know it?"

Shen Yichen slowly got up, noticing the surprise in the young monk's eyes.

The handsome monk stared at Shen Yichen quietly, without changing his expression at all, which made Shen Yichen feel a little uneasy.

"Amitabha Buddha, my heart is still too impatient!"

Shen Yichen was stunned when he heard this!

"Master, what do you mean?"

The handsome monk vanished in a flash.

The night rain drenched Shen Yichen once again.

Shen Yichen's thoughts were a bit chaotic, but he couldn't think about it too much. He had to go find Mu Qingxue!
