Free Web NovelChapter 1936: Chapter 1934: What Is the Fate of the Villagers?
[Seeking Rewards!!!]
"Haha, Ming King, you’re joking so early in the morning, is it really okay?" The Young Buddha paused for a moment, then smiled and asked.
"I’m not joking, I truly want to eat people!" The Peacock Great Bright King continued to look coldly at the hundreds of villagers below, saying.
The Young Buddha furrowed his brow, perhaps somewhat surprised, not expecting the Peacock Great Bright King to express his desire to eat people on such a morning. What should he do?
"Ming King..." The Young Buddha was momentarily speechless, unsure what to say.
"Little monk, have I scared you? Do you think spending over a month in this village that I would be moved or changed? You are wrong. Born as a demon, my demonic nature cannot be changed, and I, the Peacock Great Bright King, am destined for my own world. Some things can never change!" The Peacock Great Bright King said scornfully with a smile.
"Ming King, but..." The Young Buddha’s words hadn’t even left his mouth before being interrupted by the Peacock Great Bright King!
"I know what you want to say. I also know if I insist on eating the hundreds of villagers below, you will act again. No need to say more, I’ve lost to you already; fighting again yields the same result. If you insist that I not consume humans and convert to the Buddha, I would end my own life. This is my final dignity!" The Peacock Great Bright King said decisively.
The Young Buddha looked at the Peacock Great Bright King, seemingly not expecting the Peacock Great Bright King would still be so stubborn. Even after defeating the Peacock Great Bright King, so what? The Peacock Great Bright King’s demonic nature remains unchanged; should he end up killing the Peacock Great Bright King?
The Peacock Great Bright King is a Demon Clan strongman, possessing his own dignity and rebellious side; even defeated by the Young Buddha, he will not convert to the Buddha nor willingly accept the Young Buddha as master. This is something the Peacock Great Bright King cannot accept internally!
"Ming King, can you not spare these innocent people?" The Young Buddha asked, feeling somewhat distressed.
"Spare these innocent people, then who spares me? The Martial Arts World is essentially a bloody and cruel magic law, the weak must endure oppression and slaughter, can’t you understand this? Are you deceiving yourself, or are you too naive?" The Peacock Great Bright King asked, seemingly not understanding the Young Buddha.
"This is what I must do. Regardless of others, I must be compassionate and save all living beings throughout my life!" The Young Buddha resolutely looked at the Peacock Great Bright King and said.
"A life of compassion and salvation, versus a life of blood-thirstiness and slaughter, a life of demonic tumult, what’s the difference? Death is inevitable!" The Peacock Great Bright King found it laughable, saying.
"Ming King, if everyone thought like you, wouldn’t everything be meaningless? Isn’t eating people equally meaningless?" The Young Buddha retorted.
The Peacock Great Bright King paused for a moment, then laughed and said: "You are from the Buddhist Sect, an extraordinary demon, I can’t argue with you, yet I have my own sky and will do as I please!"
"Ming King, do you know why I haven’t killed you? It’s not because I don’t kill; thinking the Buddhist Sect doesn’t kill is merely a misunderstanding by ordinary people, believing that Buddhist Sect members are compassionate and save all beings, thus won’t kill." The Young Buddha spoke earnestly.
"Buddhist Sect members also kill? Wouldn’t that go against the teachings and doctrines of the Buddhist Sect?" The Peacock Great Bright King asked with curiosity.
"Buddhist Sect members don’t kill, has any truly high monk ever said it personally?" The Young Buddha smiled and said.
The Buddhist Sect, through the ages, has been passed down for millions of years, giving the world a compassionate and salvation-oriented image for all living beings, leading many to think that Buddhist Sect members are saviors and certainly wouldn’t destroy the world, wouldn’t harm even the smallest creatures. However, no one knows that from its founding, the Buddhist Sect fought in the Martial Arts World, it’s a competition amongst many schools. In such circumstances, didn’t any truly high monks kill? Obviously, they did, just few knew of it, it’s merely been glorified!
"Indeed, the Buddhist Sect, once born into this bloody martial arts world, must compete and fight together; non-killing will never ensure the continuation of a tradition. Seems many living beings misunderstand the Buddhist Sect!" The Peacock Great Bright King realized and said.
"Buddhist Sect did kill, yet unlike other beings, unless a demon can’t be converted, unless there’s no choice, they don’t kill, like my choice regarding you." The Young Buddha looked at the Peacock Great Bright King and said.
"Me? You can kill me, I won’t resist. This is my adherence to the promise!" The Peacock Great Bright King coldly said.
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t wait until now. I’m here to persuade you, to invite you to convert to Buddha, to become the first great protector of the Buddhist Sect. A legacy of immortality, being its first protector is just as worthy of reverence for generations to come. You Ming King have such power!" urged the Young Buddha.
"The first protector of an immortal legacy for all generations? I, Peacock Great Bright King, have grand ambitions. Will that alone make me convert to Buddha? I want to become a Supreme Emperor, a true force dominating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. I want to step into the Immortal Domain..." Peacock Great Bright King said, his spirit soaring.
"Step into the Immortal Domain, has anyone truly done this since ancient times? I think not, but the path I travel is one that truly leads to the Immortal Domain, truly leads to Eternal Life and immortality. I believe you can join me!" the Young Buddha said.
Peacock Great Bright King said nothing but stood up, his body exuding a thick murderous aura. His demonic power was very strong, even stronger than before he was injured, which shocked the Young Buddha. Peacock Great Bright King’s strength was indeed not to be underestimated! freewebnoveℓ.com
"I am going to eat people, if you want to kill me, then do it!" Peacock Great Bright King said, and in a flash, he headed toward the village below with hundreds of people.
The Young Buddha paused, wanting to move forward to stop him, but then froze again, sitting cross-legged on the peak, looking at the scene below, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Ming King, this is your ordeal. You must overcome this in order to truly convert to Buddha!"
Whoosh!
Peacock Great Bright King appeared in a flash at the entrance of the village, coldly glancing inside. After living and interacting here for more than half a month, Peacock Great Bright King had come to know almost everyone in the village, and some were very familiar.
"What’s wrong with me? Why do I feel like I can’t make a move? Could it be that I, Peacock Great Bright King, who dominates the world, invincible, am being bound by these few mortals? No, I will eat them!" Peacock Great Bright King thought fiercely in his heart.
Rumble!
The aura all over Peacock Great Bright King’s body exploded out, a powerful and terrifying force sweeping over the entire village, shocking everyone inside. They all felt a fear, and at this moment, Peacock Great Bright King only needed to open his mouth and inhale to swallow the entire village whole.
"Brother Peacock, there you are. We’ve been looking for you!" A little girl ran out, looking at Peacock Great Bright King adorably.
"Looking for me? What for?" Peacock Great Bright King asked, puzzled.
"You haven’t had breakfast yet. Here, I’ve kept an egg for you. Grandpa said your injury hasn’t healed yet, so you need nutrition!" The little girl said, taking out an egg from her pocket and handing it to Peacock Great Bright King.
"I don’t eat eggs, I want to eat people!" Peacock Great Bright King said in a deep voice.
The little girl paused, somewhat frightened. She remembered when she bravely delivered flowers to Peacock Great Bright King, he had the same look and formidable aura. But she still smiled and said, "Brother Peacock, you’re joking, don’t scare me. I know you definitely want to set up a formation to protect us, just like Brother little monk!"
"You..." Peacock Great Bright King was speechless, unsure of what to say.
"Alright, eat up quickly. I’ll go get you some porridge, so come back soon!" The little girl said cheerfully, and left with a small run!
Looking at the egg in his hand, still warm, Peacock Great Bright King frowned deeply, gritting his teeth as he crushed the egg in his hand, muttering with anger in his eyes, "What’s wrong with me? Am I still myself? Eat them!"
A spell made Peacock Great Bright King open his mouth. As soon as he made the Word Shou Skill, everyone in the village would be devoured. But just as Peacock Great Bright King mustered the courage to do so, he saw the villagers go out, starting their busy day, greeting each other, encouraging each other, cheering each other on, looking at each other with sincere eyes, speaking sincere words, so simple, so moving!
Stopped!
Everything seemed to freeze, Peacock Great Bright King mustered the courage to want to eat people, just a simple thought and the hundreds of people in the village would be devoured with no resistance. But he just froze, unable to act, standing at the village entrance for an hour, not moving at all.
"What’s wrong with me? Was I, Peacock Great Bright King truly just influenced like this? Ridiculous, pathetic, lamentable. Despite my dominance in one area, astonishing courage, determined to reach the Martial Arts Peak Realm, I can’t even kill a few people. How can I compete..." Peacock Great Bright King couldn’t help but say with a self-deprecating bitter smile. (To be continued.
