Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2140: Chapter 2138: Elder Sang Hua of the Flying Flower Zen Temple

Ye Tianchen was killed by the Buddhist Rune conjured by the vicious old monk!

All that was left of him was a mist of blood. Princess Zi Xuan was stunned, and the vicious old monk laughed triumphantly. Even though Ye Tianchen was quite strong and somewhat exceeded his expectations, he was still killed, leaving him confident!

Who would have thought!

Just as the vicious old monk was about to strike Princess Zi Xuan, Ye Tianchen suddenly appeared above him. With a punch, he shattered the vicious old monk’s Buddhist Rune and sent the old monk flying!

The vicious old monk was shocked and incredulous. He couldn’t believe Ye Tianchen was still alive. He had clearly witnessed Ye Tianchen’s body being completely destroyed, so how was he still alive? Moreover, he suddenly appeared overhead and shattered his Buddhist Rune with immense power!

”Undying Golden Body Skill, it must be the Undying Golden Body Skill. Where did you receive the Yijin Jing’s inheritance...” the vicious old monk asked, looking at Ye Tianchen in astonishment.

Ye Tianchen looked at the vicious old monk coldly, his expression extremely calm, and slowly walked toward the old monk, saying, ”You are not fit to be a person of the Buddhist Sect. Even if you were, you’d be nothing but a disgrace to it. How could you possibly know some of the secrets of the Buddhist Sect? You deserve to die!”

”Hahahaha, such arrogance! Do you dare to kill me in this land of the West State? I don’t believe it!” the vicious old monk laughed disdainfully.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen struck without uttering a word, reached out his right hand, and enveloped the vicious old monk. No matter how the old monk struggled, he couldn’t escape Ye Tianchen’s grasp. After all, Ye Tianchen had broken his Buddhist Rune. The old monk’s cultivation realm was not high; his use of the Buddhist Rune merely gave people a feeling of awe and mystery!

”You... you really dare to kill me? The West State is the land of our Buddhist Sect’s heritage. If you kill me here, you can never return!” the vicious old monk threatened Ye Tianchen.

”Is that so? This doesn’t matter to me. Anyway, those who come to this land of the West State never return. Since I’m destined not to return, I might as well kill a few more to keep me company!” Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

”You... you dare commit murder here? You shall find survival impossible, and death unattainable!” the vicious old monk said through gritted teeth, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Hmph, committing murder has always been the domain of you West State Buddhist people. Don’t falsely accuse others with such righteousness. I won’t fall for it. Go to hell!”

Ye Tianchen was not a hesitant person, but a decisive one. At that moment, he pressed his hand down on the head of the vicious old monk. Despite the old monk’s attempts to use the Buddhist Rune to resist, it was futile. Ye Tianchen was incredibly powerful, filled with murderous intent, and showed no mercy. With a press of his palm, the vicious old monk let out a miserable scream and was reduced to a mist of blood, utterly annihilated!

Seeing Ye Tianchen actually slay the vicious old monk with one blow, Princess Zi Xuan frowned slightly, still showing some concern, and said, ”You really killed someone from the West State Buddhist Sect. I’m afraid we’ll face even greater trouble next!”

”Killing him brings more trouble, not killing him also brings more trouble, so I chose to kill!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”It seems that’s the only option. I hope we can find the West State’s Transmission Array Compass and leave here soon!” Princess Zi Xuan said worriedly.

”Let’s go. If I guessed right, inside this giant Buddha statue, there should be some things we want and also greater peril. Let’s see what kind of heritage this West State Buddhist Sect really has!” Ye Tianchen said with a determined look.

After killing the vicious old monk, Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan both felt that the West State Buddhist Sect’s heritage was no small matter. The more extraordinary it was, the more dangerous it would be for them. But at this point, there was no turning back; they had to see what it was all about!

Ye Tianchen walked in front, Princess Zi Xuan followed closely behind, both of them circulating their Martial Arts True Qi, remaining vigilant. They didn’t know what might exist within such a giant Buddha statue; if it were just that vicious old monk, nobody would believe it!

A stone door was located at the base of this giant Buddha statue. The door was wide open, with nothing peculiar about it. Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan stood outside the stone door, exchanged a glance, and Princess Zi Xuan said, ”This time I’ll go in first!”

Princess Zi Xuan took the lead, wanting to enter the giant Buddha statue first. But just as she reached the stone door, Ye Tianchen blocked her and shook his head, saying, ”Don’t rush in. Let’s first observe the surroundings!”

”What is it?” Princess Zi Xuan asked in confusion.

”Don’t you find something puzzling about the area around this stone gate?” Ye Tianchen asked Princess Zi Xuan.

Princess Zi Xuan looked around and didn’t find it too strange, only saying, ”Aside from these two decorative objects on either side of the stone gate, there’s nothing else, is there?”

”Then why are these decorations not statues of Buddha, but instead, two peacocks?” Ye Tianchen pursued further.

”This...yes, why is it not a statue of Buddha but two peacocks? This...why is the Buddhist sect inheritance in the West State like this?” Princess Zi Xuan asked, surprised beyond measure.

Ye Tianchen also frowned, looking at the two peacock-like demon beast sculptures on either side of the stone gate, he had doubts in his heart, and he always felt that the inheritance of the Buddhist sect in the West State was definitely different from those in other places, and these differences might have much to do with these peacock-like demon beast sculptures!

”Seeing these two peacocks, I can’t help but think of a powerful demon beast that converted to Buddhism...” Ye Tianchen murmured to himself.

”Peacock, could it be the Peacock Great Bright King subdued by the Buddha? The... Peacock Great Bright King was originally a powerful figure among the demon beasts, even after converting to Buddhism, it remained incredibly powerful, even the Buddha once said that the Peacock Great Bright King would protect the Buddhist sect, which is a rare compliment!” Princess Zi Xuan said in astonishment.

”Perhaps my intuition is wrong, but in any case, this gigantic statue should be the place of the Buddhist sect inheritance in the West State. These two peacock sculptures must not be simply there; let’s go in and take a look, but be cautious!” Ye Tianchen also frowned and said.

By now, no matter what was inside this gigantic statue, both Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan felt they must go in and see it. What if the Transmission Array Compass of the West State is inside this giant statue? Wouldn’t they have to go in and see the truth?

When Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan walked into the stone gate, it suddenly shut behind them. Instinctively, they both raised their alertness and continued to cautiously move forward!

The giant statue, towering tens of thousands of meters high, stretched across the mountains, but inside, it was vast and empty. When Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan entered the statue, they only saw one person, a woman, dressed in a kasaya, and they were both surprised. This person was sitting cross-legged in a high place, and beside her was a vessel containing a bit of blood, with something like a feather on top which looked just like a peacock feather!

There are not a few women who convert to Buddhism, but women who wear kasaya after converting to Buddhism are among the rarest. This woman, wearing a kasaya, sitting cross-legged at a high place, seemed as if she was meditating, contemplating, or guarding something!

”Elder Sang Hua, you...you’re still alive...” Princess Zi Xuan exclaimed at once, unable to refrain from shouting.

The woman sitting cross-legged at the high place slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, her expression remained calm, and she said, ”Who are the two of you below?”

”This...Elder Sang Hua, it’s me, Zi Xuan, don’t you recognize me, don’t you remember me?” Princess Zi Xuan asked in surprise.

”Zi Xuan? I don’t remember. Sang Hua Elder seems to be a name from my mundane life, now I’m called Ming Hui in the Buddhist sect,” Elder Sang Hua shook her head and said.

”This... Elder Sang Hua... how can you...” Princess Zi Xuan was completely in disbelief, looking at Elder Sang Hua above.

Whoosh!

As Princess Zi Xuan spoke, she made a leap intending to fly up to see Elder Sang Hua. She didn’t know what happened to Elder Sang Hua, but she could confirm it’s an Elder from their Flying Flower Zen Temple. She just couldn’t understand why she’d convert to Buddhism, why she seemed to remember nothing, and couldn’t even recognize people from before!

Buzz!

Unexpectedly, as Princess Zi Xuan soared towards the high place, a Buddhist Scripture manifested in mid-air, directly striking her back down, almost causing injury. Her eyes filled with urgency, intent on soaring again, but Elder Sang Hua stood up, her gaze carrying a slight displeasure, and shouted sternly:

”Bold! Who are the two of you to be so impudent here? Beware, for the Buddhist sect will not accommodate you. Abolish your cultivation, and you may stay here to comprehend Buddhist Law, granting you great fortune!” (To be continued.
