Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1935 - 1933: [Still Unrepentant, Yet Craving Flesh?]

[Subscribe!!!]The battle between the Young Buddha and the Peacock Great Bright King has concluded!

Did the Peacock Great Bright King lose? Seems not quite!

Did the Young Buddha win? Seems not quite either!

It can be said that both suffered dual defeats, only the Peacock Great Bright King seems to be more heavily injured. If we have to say the Young Buddha is stronger than the Peacock Great Bright King, it’s still not quite accurate; in a battle between truly strong individuals, if life and death are not determined, then true victory and defeat have not been established!

At this moment, both the Young Buddha and the Peacock Great Bright King stood before hundreds of villagers, and the Peacock Great Bright King said it lost, lost to the Young Buddha. However, it cannot keep its promise because it is a powerful Demon King, an unyielding, absolutely unchangeable Demon King. Its strength is beyond doubt, and its spirit is awe-inspiring.

"You all... you all..." The Peacock Great Bright King was momentarily stunned. It never expected this flower-giving little girl would still give it flowers, and with such naïveté and sincerity that made it hard for him to refuse!

"Ming King, the Martial Arts World is cruel and bloody. Indeed, there exists much falseness and deception, leaving hearts disillusioned, forcing acts of slaughter. However, when every creature is born its nature is kind; experiences and environments change them. Do you see these villagers? They truly repay grievances with virtues, they are truly kind; this is human nature!" The Young Buddha said seriously, looking at the Peacock Great Bright King.

"Human nature? Hehe, pity I’m born a demon, destined to sweep the world; I lost to you, then only death remains for me!" With that, the Peacock Great Bright King seemed ready to end its own life.

"Why choose death? If we are to say this battle ended in a draw, both of us heavily wounded, only that you refuse to convert to the Buddhist Sect!" The Young Buddha said with a smile, shaking his head.

At this time, the elder leading this village also walked up to the Young Buddha and the Peacock Great Bright King. Looking at the Peacock Great Bright King, he said, "Demon King, thank you for not devouring us. Stay in our village to heal!"

"You... you let me heal in your village? Isn’t that letting a wolf into the sheep pen? You’re inviting a wolf into your home!" The Peacock Great Bright King said with a stunned, calm smile.

"Since you haven’t eaten us now, we trust you wouldn’t eat us later!" The leading elder said sincerely with a smile.

"The reason I didn’t devour you is because of the little monk’s meddling, otherwise you would have long been in my belly." The Peacock Great Bright King said coldly.

"We believe you are not a ruthless demon, heal here in our village!" The leading elder still said seriously.

"You all..." The Peacock Great Bright King was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say or do. No one could have predicted that a group almost devoured would now invite the beast that almost devoured them into the village. Is this naive, foolish, or truly innately pure?

"Come on, Ming King, does a Demon King, capable of sweeping the world, fear entering a single village?" The Young Buddha asked with a smile.

"In this world, there is no place I’m afraid of!" The Peacock Great Bright King, with impressive momentum, stepped first into the village.

The Young Buddha smiled slightly, then followed inside, and hundreds of others also returned to this small village, resuming their individual lives.

The Peacock Great Bright King and the Young Buddha came to the courtyard of the leading elder. He was the village chief and, upon entering, they found the flower-giving little girl busily pouring them water.

"She and her grandfather live here depending on each other for survival. A few years ago, when the little girl’s parents went out, they were also devoured by demon beasts!" The Young Buddha said, glancing at the little girl.

"What’s strange about that? These people live here, they can be found by me, they can also be found by other powerful demon clans. It’s only a matter of time before they face the fate of being eaten!" The Peacock Great Bright King said, pausing.

"Two brothers, please drink water." The little girl placed two bowls of water on the stone table and said softly.

"What? Brother, it’s more fitting to call him brother. I’ve lived for hundreds of years, older than your grandfather’s grandfather!" The Peacock Great Bright King told the little girl.

The little girl was scared but gathered her courage to say, "You, you are just a brother. You don’t look old, and not older at all!"

These words indeed made the Peacock Great Bright King laugh. Indeed, for Demon Clan cultivators, a few hundred years is like being in their teenage years for the Human Clan. At that time, in equal terms of age, the Peacock Great Bright King was comparable to the Young Buddha, not much older at all. At that time, the Peacock Great Bright King was also a strong figure among the Demon Clan’s young generation, a heaven’s pride, outstanding!

"How about this, you call me Brother Little Monk, call him Brother Peacock, how about it?" The Young Buddha smiled and entertained the little girl.

"Okay, it’s decided!" The little girl happily ran off to the side.

The Peacock Great Bright King glanced at the Young Buddha and couldn’t help but say, "You are quite interesting, not as rigid and dull as others in the Buddhist Sect!"

"Though I’m from the Buddhist Sect, I’m not like ordinary people there, my understanding of Buddhist Law is also different!" The Young Buddha nodded and said.

"I wish to know what’s different; perhaps that’s what makes you stronger than others in the Buddhist Sect!" The Peacock Great Bright King paused and asked.

The Young Buddha looked at the Peacock Great Bright King and then at the sky, then seriously asked, "Ming King, what is cultivation?"

"Cultivation, refining one’s self, gaining power, breaking the heavens, enduring forever!" The Peacock Great Bright King said solemnly.

"Such spirit, this is what all creatures pursue; but who from the start is unique, born with immense power?" The Young Buddha continued to ask.

"Maybe the Ancient Alien Race, they are naturally blessed by the heavens, born with some Great Divine Power, astonishing people, and some Demon Clan species have such abilities. As for the Human Clan, such are very few, which is why they’ve been weak throughout history!" The Peacock Great Bright King said bluntly.

"But those are few. The Martial Arts World is vast and boundless, countless cultivators, how many are born strong? Observing the Martial Arts World, throughout ages, those who reached the Emperor Peak Realm were mostly just ordinary beings!" The Young Buddha shook his head and said.

"What you say has some truth; is this what you’ve comprehended?" The Peacock Great Bright King couldn’t help but ask.

"Hmm, I believe all beings are ordinary under the heavens. Even reaching the Emperor Realm, they are still bound by the Martial Arts World Magic Law, unable to transcend. All cultivators, billions of beings desire transcendence, want to escape the bondage of the Martial Arts World Magic Law. I feel that without understanding beyond this world’s Magic Law, it’s impossible..." The Young Buddha said seriously.

"Beyond the Martial Arts World Magic Law? What is that?" The Peacock Great Bright King paused and asked.

"I don’t know, hoping in my lifetime to reach that point and understand. Buddhist Law is my cultivation heritage, the birth and creation of the Buddhist Sect does not stem from me; surpassing ancient sages is no easy task but I am confident!" The Young Buddha smiled, looking at the Peacock Great Bright King.

Looking at the Young Buddha’s back, the Peacock Great Bright King frowned. For some reason, it felt an unusual sensation, thinking this young little monk could transcend everything. For the Peacock Great Bright King, such a feeling was a first!

Subsequently, during half a month, the Peacock Great Bright King and the Young Buddha stayed in the village for healing. You could say they lived in the village. At their Cultivation Realm, they didn’t need to eat, but the villagers were enthusiastic. During meal times, every household brought a dish to them to enjoy, getting the Young Buddha and Peacock Great Bright King accustomed to eating meals.

Injuries, especially flesh wounds, have little significance for a Martial Artist. Particularly for the Peacock Great Bright King, its Divine Thought had suffered considerable impact during the battle with the Young Buddha, damaging it somewhat. But in just half a month, it completely recovered, showing the kind of strength that even surprised the Young Buddha!

Early in the morning, sunlight still hadn’t spread out, no smoke had risen in the village, yet the Peacock Great Bright King sat cross-legged on a nearby mountain. Watching villagers slowly get up, beginning a day’s work, children gathering happily to play, women cooking, men farming, elders telling stories to children; everything was harmonious, simple, involuntarily making the Peacock Great Bright King frown.

During over half a month, the Peacock Great Bright King lived in the village, familiarized with many people and things, experiencing this village’s simplicity. These mundane mortals’ lives offer it another kind of life experience, creating a sense of loss, things previously believed seem not quite so!

"Ming King, awake so early; having breakfast today?" The Young Buddha sat cross-legged beside the Peacock Great Bright King, asking with a smile.

The Peacock Great Bright King glanced at the Young Buddha, then at villagers working below, calmly saying, "I want to eat people..." (To be continued.
