Chapter 331 Buddhist Discourse
"The Third Prince... is dead!"
Countless gasps of shock rang out, and every bystander froze, backing away, not daring to utter another sound.
They couldn't believe that the top three Buddhist disciples in the Buddhist Kingdom had died so easily, so easily that the opponent hadn't even used a third move.
In the distance, Master Guangchen and Jiu Fuzi were also stunned, their minds blank. They looked at each other and retreated at the same time.
Needless to say, Jiu Fuzi was sweating profusely, while Master Guangchen's forehead was covered in cold sweat and his heart was pounding wildly.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
"It's only been a few days since I last saw him, and this child has grown so much!"
"The third brother is about the same strength as me. If he was dealt with so easily, then wouldn't I also be... How could this be!"
Guang Chen was heartbroken. He thought that Five-Leaf Lotus could easily control Ye Kang, but he never expected that reality would give him such a sobering experience.
Although he didn't want to admit it, his reason told him that he might not be able to defeat this evil demon!
Just then, a figure rushed over at lightning speed.
Ye Kang, using the Six Void Heaven-Walking Steps, caught up with Guang Chen in an instant. The latter's eyes widened, and he roared in disbelief, "You dare to stop me!?"
Ye Kang did not reply. He held the Azure Blade horizontally in his hand and slashed out.
The blade's energy swept across the sky, slicing out a streak of azure light.
Guang Chen was horrified; he never expected this guy to be insane!
I am a disciple of Beiluo Temple, how dare you harbor murderous intent towards me!
He turned around and summoned his Dharma form, a golden Arhat that blotted out the sky and threw a punch forward. The sword energy collided with the golden body, bursting out with dazzling golden light.
In an instant, Guang Chen realized that this guy's strength far exceeded his expectations, and that he would die if he fought him head-on!
"You wait! I will kill you!"
Guang Chen roared, then with a thought, shattered a protective talisman and vanished like an arrow.
Ye Kang sheathed his sword and stood there, gazing thoughtfully at Guang Chen who had fled.
"Is this the inheritance of our sect? There are indeed quite a few ways to protect oneself."
Ye Kang shook his head, not dwelling on it.
Killing Guangchen was just a spur-of-the-moment decision; if he could kill him, he would, and if not, so be it.
As for the other one...
Ye Kang looked in the direction where Jiu Fuzi had fled. With a thought, the Frostwood Bow appeared in his hand. He drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and released the Perfected Star Piercing Arrow at will.
The black arrow, carrying a rainbow of light that seemed to pierce the air, rapidly approached Jiu Fuzi. The latter sensed something was wrong and quickly used his martial arts to block it.
However, how could Jiu Fuzi possibly block the arrow that Ye Kang shot? The arrow did not deviate at all and went straight into Jiu Fuzi's dantian, tearing a large hole in his body.
At this point, Ye Kang had killed eight of the ten Buddhist disciples.
A moment later, Ye Kang took Jiu Fuzi's storage bag and set off again on the official road.
Chongxuzi landed gracefully, sword in hand, his face filled with fear and trepidation.
"You little brat, you weren't really trying to kill Guang Chen just now, were you?"
Ye Kang smiled slightly: "It's just a test of the skills of the disciples of the hidden sects. I don't think they'll be so easy to kill."
Chongxuzi's forehead creased with annoyance. He shook his head and said, "You're too bold. In name, Beiluo Temple and the Buddhist Kingdom are not the same. Who lives or dies in your battle against the Buddhist Kingdom has nothing to do with Beiluo Temple. They are afraid of my master, so naturally they dare not make a move."
“But if you harm Guangchen, the situation will change, and even my master can’t protect you.”
Chongxuzi sighed, his words carrying a hint of warning.
Ye Kang nodded: "Don't worry, we didn't kill them."
“I don’t trust you very much, but after your outburst, Guangchen probably won’t be hanging around you anymore. The only thing you need to worry about now is the last two Buddhist disciples in the capital of the Buddhist Kingdom.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang asked curiously, "What are their cultivation levels?"
"They are all powerful individuals who have opened the Six Leaves stage."
……
As Chongxuzi had predicted, things turned out just as he had.
Guang Chen used the escape talisman given to him by his master and fled in panic to the kingdom.
Even knowing that Ye Kang hadn't caught up, he was still shaken. That seemingly frail figure had given him such immense pressure in just a few breaths.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare a mere official from a mortal dynasty do this!"
"I am a disciple of the Beiluo Temple! I am someone they must look up to!"
Guangchen gritted his teeth and cursed incessantly to alleviate his fear.
Inside the Beiluo Temple, he was of average talent, but ever since he went to the mortal world to assist the affairs of the Buddhist kingdom, he had everything he wanted, no matter where he went.
This huge sense of disparity was completely unacceptable to him, and his Dao heart even began to waver.
Fortunately, Buddhists have their own methods for cultivating a peaceful mind, and after reciting Buddhist scriptures several times, he finally calmed down a lot.
A moment later, with a dark expression, he walked into the largest building in the capital, the Dafaguang Temple.
A protracted debate is taking place inside the temple. The First and Second Buddhist Disciples each lead a group of highly respected senior monks, forming two opposing camps in the main hall, where they are debating their respective doctrines.
This debate concerns the ownership of all the incense offerings and fortune in the Buddhist kingdom, which is also the ultimate goal of the Buddhist kingdom's plan.
With the full support of the nation, a golden statue was created for worship.
The chosen one will receive preferential treatment from the resources of Beiluo Temple and will eventually become a new Grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm through the incense offerings.
Now, only these two strongest Buddhist disciples are qualified to participate in the debate.
The Great Buddha was dressed in a jade robe, his entire body resembling white jade, so holy that one could not look directly at him.
The second Buddhist disciple was dressed in a black kasaya, with an eerie appearance, and every move he made exuded a demonic quality different from that of the Buddhists.
When Guangchen entered, the Great Buddha was speaking slowly with his eyes closed.
"The incense offerings and golden statues gather the fortune of mortals, like swallowing mountains and absorbing seas, transforming it into their own. A single wisp of incense is like a grain of sand; a thousand grains of sand converge into a vast desert, ultimately forming the Great Dao. You are born with demonic nature, which is incompatible with my Buddha. What virtue or ability do you have to covet the merits of incense offerings?"
The second disciple shook his head and laughed, "Senior brother is too attached to appearances. Whether one is a Buddha or a demon, it's just a matter of different ways of showing one's holiness in front of others. Once one has attained a holy body, why be concerned about appearances? Although I am unrestrained in appearance, my Buddha-nature is slightly better than yours."
"Nonsense! If you continue like this, I will eliminate the demon and uphold justice."
"Senior brother, although you were ordained one night earlier than me, you have not yet grasped the true essence of Buddhism. You are nothing but an ant."
"Do you want to test the depth of my Buddhist teachings?"
“My law is not necessarily unkind.”
The two exchanged barbs, each trying to outdo the other.
Guang Chen frowned as he listened. "I asked you to discuss the Dao, and this is how you do it?"
Physics theory?
Of course, he did not reprimand the two at this time, but interrupted them in a deep voice: "Junior brothers, something has happened. Someone has invaded the Buddhist Kingdom."
The Great Buddha glanced sideways and said nonchalantly, "Didn't Third Junior Brother go and take care of it?"
"He is dead. That person was very powerful. Although he only opened three leaves, even five leaves are no match for him."
Upon hearing this, the two Buddhist disciples' eyes lit up, and they looked at each other simultaneously, revealing tacit smiles.
"In that case, let this debate be decided by this person."
