Chapter 287


    Erik Yin''s expression changed. He shook his head and said, "No matter what happens, sister, this is


    your fault. Even if Grandmaster Zhou wins, you have to apologize to Brother Fade."


    "Hmph!" Lara Yin snorted discontentedly. She said, "If Grandmaster Zhou wins, let''s see if that Fade


    Chen can still be able to stand up."


    Thinking of all the things about Fade that he had researched on, Erik could not help but feel


    confident in this matter. "Big Brother Chen will not be defeated!" he thought to himself.


    At this moment, Grandmaster Zhou walked straight toward Fade. He put his palms together


    devoutly and bowed slightly at Fade. Then, he said, "Amitabha, dear benefactor. The sea of


    bitterness has no boundaries, so turn your head back toward the shore. Dear benefactor, you''d


    better repent and don''tmit the same sins again!"


    Fade sneered and said, "What do you mean by the phrase ''don''tmit the same sins again''?


    What did I do wrong?"


    The monk smiled and said, "Ill-gotten wealth


    is a sin, and it''s wrong to refuse to repent. It''s also a mistake to cause harm to others."


    "Really?" Fade sneered, "I am not sure if you aremitting a sin, Grandmaster Zhou, when you


    take the side of the evildoer."


    Grandmaster Zhou''s face fell, and then he said with a smile, "Dear benefactor, for your own good, I


    have given you a chance to redeem yourself and wash yourself of your sins."


    "I''m afraid my sins are not as grave as yours!" Fade said coldly.


    Grandmaster Zhou said in a deep voice, "Benefactor, I''m the guardian of Buddhism, and I can''t


    tolerate your nder. You should step forward quickly and kneel on the ground to worship Buddha. I


    can ask him to forgive your sins."


    "Forgive my sins!" Fade sneered. "I, Fade, don''t need anyone to forgive me, let alone the illusory


    Buddha."


    "How dare you question the Dharma. This is the greatest sphemy to us Buddhists. If you don''t


    repent, I''ll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of Buddhism, "Grandmaster Zhou said. As he


    spoke, he picked up the monk''s staff in his hand and pounded it on the ground.


    In an instant, the solid marble floor was directly smashed by the monk''s staff. Cracks that look like


    spider webs quickly spread out on the wide floor of the private room.


    Seeing this, Kristoff Xie smiled gleefully and said, "Grandmaster Zhou, such an unrepentant person


    like him doesn''t heed the ways of the Dharma. You''d better ovee him as soon as possible."


    Lara was also smiling and she had a gloating expression. "Haha, let''s see how arrogant he can be.


    In front of Grandmaster Zhou, he has no right to behave in such a concerted manner," she said.

    On the other hand, Erik looked anxious, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. He


    could only silently pray in his heart that Fade would win.


    Faced with Grandmaster Zhou''s powerful attack, Fade was not afraid at all. He smiled and said


    disdainfully, "As a monk, if you want to earn money being a thug, then that is on you. Don''t use the


    facade of being a monk and try to lie to others. This is the biggest nder to Buddhism and the


    Dharma."


    "Unrepentant Sinner! How dare you spout such nonsense!" Grandmaster Zhou shouted angrily. His


    furious eyes were like the prating gaze of Buddha. Heunched the cane in his hand toward


    Fade with strength.


    Just as the Grandmaster wasunching his attack, someone knocked on the door of the private


    room. Then, someone pushed open the door and came in.


    The person who came in was a scruffy old man in his fifties or sixties. His traditional robes were a


    little faded, and his silver hair was in a mess at this moment, which caused him to look rather


    battered and exhausted.


    "Who is this?"Everyone thought to themselves. The intruder''s sudden entry caused everyone''s


    heart to skip a beat and they all looked toward him.


    Fade smiled faintly, and he nodded to the man. He said, "You''re here!"


    It was none other than Master Xie, or Lucas Xie, who hade over in a hurry. He looked a little


    disheveled due to the long and dusty journey.


    Lucas noticed the situation in the private room, especially the monk''s attacking posture. He


    suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Mr. Chen, what is happening here?"


    Fade pointed to Grandmaster Zhou and said, "This monk is fanatical and zealous. He said that he


    wanted to teach me a lesson."


    "How dare you!" Lucas snarled, and he red at Grandmaster Zhou.


    Grandmaster Zhou also red at him angrily and shouted, "It seems to me that you are the


    companion of this unrepentant sinner. I will teach you both a lesson on behalf of Buddhism."


    "Are you joking? Teach us both a lesson!" Lucas sneered disdainfully. He looked at Fade and said,


    "Mr. Chen, you don''t need to take action against this monk. Leave him to me!"


    "Can you handle this situation?" Fade asked, and he looked at Lucas.


    After all, Lucas''s previous strength was only at thete stage of the Yellow Level. There was still a


    long way to go before he reached the peak of the Yellow Level, which was Grandmaster Zhou''s


    level.


    Lucas smiled confidently and he said, "During this period of time, I used the Sacred Fig that Mr.


    Chen gave me. Although the effects of the Fig has not beenpletely transferred to me, my


    current strength has improved. I will have no problem dealing with this monk."


    "It''s good that you''re confident! Since that''s the case, you can go ahead!" Fade said. He nodded


    and took a step back.


    Lucas stepped forward immediately. He crooked his finger at Grandmaster Zhou, and said with a


    sneer, "Bald ass, you want to mess with Mr. Chen? You''re looking for death!"


    "How dare you!" Grandmaster Zhou answered. He was enraged by the rude phrase. With a clinking


    sound, the cane in his hand began to move. Then, a gold ray shot out ruthlessly toward Lucas at


    lightning speed.


    Lucas stood in the same ce, without making any movements to block the ray. He raised his arm


    slightly, and a beam of light flew out from his back and hit the cane of the monk.


    The flying beam of light was none other than Lucas''s sword which was made from the wooden


    branches of the Rudraksha.


    The two attacked each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.


    However, Kristoff and Lara were still very confident, with bright smiles on their faces.


    "Fade, I was wondering why you are not afraid. It looks like you have assistants after all. However,


    how can that scruffy old man be a match for Grandmaster Zhou?"


    "So what if he has assistants. The final result is already predestined. He''ll definitely lose."


    "Fade, do you think that it is helpful for this scruffy old man to dy the battle for you?"


    "That old man is as stupid as Fade. He is courting death by using a wooden sword to fight against


    the golden cane."


    While they were mocking him, Lucas''s wooden sword and Grandmaster Zhou''s cane collided


    violently.


    In an instant, a ferocious surge of air burst out due to the violent collision, and everything in the


    private room was blown away. Everyone could hardly keep their eyes open due to this strong gust


    of wind.


    As the strong wind dissipated slowly, the crowd observed the ongoing scene, and they were


    suddenly dumbfounded.


    The scene of Grandmaster Zhou''s victory in their imagination did not materialize, and even the


    fragile- looking wooden sword did not suffer any damage at the moment.


    On the contrary, the wooden sword cut directly through Grandmaster Zhou''s solid golden cane,


    turning it into two halves.


    Grandmaster Zhou was also shocked at this moment. An angry expression appeared on his face,


    as he clenched his fists andunched a fierce blow toward Lucas. At the same time, he shouted


    angrily, "You''re looking for death. I''ll kill you."


    Lucas chuckled and said, "Shouting like that seems to fit your real personality more. Not like just


    now, when you were pretending to be a monk and being holier than thou. That was totally a joke!"


    Lucas spoke andughed, but he didn''t stop moving. The wooden sword made a whistling sound


    and it drew the shape of an arc in the air. Then, with a ray of light, ?? c?? d?w?w??d at Grandmaster


    Zhou.
