Arhats Subduing Demons: Starting with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

Yun Changkong remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged, when he heard someone say in a strange tone, "Second Brother, what if we are the ones who die if they come out?"

Ping Yizhi snorted: "These bastards are disturbing our peace and quiet again."

Yun Changkong knew that the "Six Immortals of Peach Valley" must have arrived.

No sooner had that person finished speaking than someone else chimed in, "You're talking nonsense! We, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, are invincible under heaven. Who have we ever feared in our lives?"

But then another person scoffed, "The people of the Huashan Sect all say that Yun Changkong is exceptionally powerful. Use your pig brain to think about it, is that a lie?"

The first person cursed, "You're talking nonsense! Linghu Chong said that the Songshan Sect could crush us like ants, but they tore us into four pieces!"

Suddenly, a rough, hoarse voice said, "Shut up, all of you! If you're so tough, let's just beat you up and see what happens!"

"For us, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, defeating someone is a piece of cake!"

Yun Changkong and Ping Yizhi could both tell that the group was still a mile or so away when they came over, making all this noise.

Ping Yizhi laughed and said, "These bastards heard you were here and want to have a match with you!"

He knew that the "Six Immortals of Peach Valley" had suffered from some kind of illness in their mother's womb, and that they were all in a daze. However, their martial arts skills were extremely high, and ordinary people were no match for them. Moreover, the great masters of the time disdained to compare their strengths with such muddle-headed people.

These six men lived a carefree and comfortable life. Over the years, they caused countless laughs and were described as "naive, shallow, and ignorant of worldly affairs," truly six clowns in the martial arts world.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Then forget it, I'd better hide!"

Ping Yizhi shook his head and said, "Sigh, my reputation as an older brother has been ruined by these bastards. You can teach them a lesson for me, and I can vent my anger!"

Yun Changkong laughed heartily: "Alright!" He immediately opened the door and went out.

It was already dark, the cold moon hung overhead, and the willow branches rustled in the night wind.

Several figures appeared in the willow grove, revealing five people. They reached the stream, leaped into the air, and glided across the sky like swallows, their movements exquisitely graceful, before gently landing in front of Yun Changkong.

The group moved with astonishing speed, landing without raising a speck of dust. Yun Changkong clapped his hands and laughed, "Impressive lightness skill!"

Seeing that these people's lightness skills were even better than those of "Wanli Duxing," who was known for his lightness skills, he felt that calling them the Six Immortals was quite reasonable, and this praise was not just a polite gesture.

One person laughed and said, "This is nothing, there are even better ones!"

Yun Changkong saw that the five people looked almost exactly like Tao Shixian, with five old faces like orange peel, bumpy and full of wrinkles, and their personalities were also the same, all being children.

A man stood with his hands on his hips and said to the house, "Yun Changkong, come out and face your death! The Six Immortals of Peach Valley want to have a match with you!"

No sooner had this person finished speaking than someone else chimed in, "Second Brother, you're mistaken. Today's contest should be between the Five Immortals of Peach Valley, not the Six Immortals of Peach Valley."

The man glared and said, "The Six Immortals of Peach Valley are renowned throughout the martial world; everyone knows them. But what if Yun Changkong says he's never heard of the Five Immortals of Peach Valley and ignores us?"

Another person said, "Yes, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley have been famous in the martial arts world for a long time. How can they be changed to the Five Immortals of Peach Valley? Besides, isn't Sixth Brother alive now?"

The second brother nodded and smiled, "Third brother is absolutely right."

Another person said, "You are mistaken. Although everyone knows the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, our sixth brother is still injured and has not come at all. If we continue to call ourselves the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, we will be ridiculed by the people of the martial arts world for being naive, shallow, and ignorant of worldly affairs!"

One person immediately echoed, "That's right, that's right."

One of them said, "What do you mean? Although Sixth Brother didn't come, we, the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, are of one mind and as close as brothers. Today we are going to challenge Yun Changkong. This is a major event that will shake the martial arts world. If we win, even without Sixth Brother..." He couldn't finish his sentence and paced around anxiously.

Seeing that these people were clearly quite skilled in martial arts, yet acted so erratically, Yun Changkong couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He said, "If we were to defeat Yun Changkong without Tao Shixian's presence, it would be a great pity, wouldn't it hurt our brotherhood!"

"Yes!"

That's exactly what I meant!

"I thought of it, but I didn't have time to say it!"

The five people stomped their feet in anger.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "I have long admired the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, whose names are renowned throughout the martial world. However, you all look the same. Who is who?"

The Six Immortals of Peach Valley had two great passions: they loved to talk and debate, and they loved to hear flattery. Upon hearing him claim to have terrified the martial world, they were all overjoyed, exchanging knowing glances.

One of them stepped forward and said, "I am the eldest brother, and my name is Tao Genxian."

The other person said, "I am the second brother, and my name is Tao Ganxian."

Another person said, "I don't know if he's the third or fourth, he's called Peach Branch Immortal." Pointing to a strange man, he said, "I don't know if he's the third or fourth, he's called Peach Leaf Immortal."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Don't you even know who's the third and who's the fourth?"

Tao Zhixian sighed, "It's not that we didn't know, it's that my parents forgot our birthdays."

Yun Changkong nodded and said, "That's right!"

Peach Leaf Immortal said, "That's right, brother. Think about it. If your parents forgot they had you when you were born, how would they know if you even existed when you were just a little baby?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Changkong almost burst out laughing, thinking, "With such muddle-headed parents, it's no wonder they have such a muddle-headed son." He nodded and said, "That makes sense. It's just that my parents forgot!"

“That’s right!” Tao Yexian nodded and said, “It’s also my parents’ fault for not being very bright. When we brothers were born, they still remembered who was older and who was younger, but after a few years, they completely forgot who was the third and who was the fourth.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Peach Blossom Fairy: "He wants to be the third brother. If I don't call him that, he'll fight me. So I have no choice but to give in to him." Yun Changkong thought to himself: "These people are straightforward and honest, without any guile. They are truly kind-hearted. In the martial world, these kinds of people are the most honest and trustworthy. They are more worthy of friendship than any so-called virtuous gentleman."

With that thought, his interest suddenly surged, and he looked at the last person and asked, "Is this Peach Immortal's fifth brother?"

Seeing his older brothers chatting happily, the fifth brother was getting impatient. But when he heard Yun Changkong ask a question, he immediately relaxed his brow, took a quick step forward, and chuckled, saying, "Yes, my name is Peach Blossom Fairy. Among the six brothers, my name is the most beautiful."

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "The name 'Peach Blossom' is lovely, but with your appearance, even Peach Blossom would faint from crying." He then said, "Brothers, your martial arts are superb, and your names are even more impressive. No wonder you have such a great reputation in the martial arts world!"

The Five Immortals of Peach Valley felt extremely pleased and burst into loud laughter.

Tao Genxian said, "We're all in the same boat. Your martial arts skills are a little worse than ours, but you're a little better looking than us. So, we're all even! Haha!"

They all burst into laughter.

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "If you call these people idiots, at least they know how to be humble." He then asked, "May I ask who your master is?"

Tao Genxian said, "Our family's martial arts are what make us invincible!"

Yun Changkong smiled secretly.

Tao Ganxian suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in a serious tone, "Brother, you go to the side first. We're going to fight the bad guys, so don't get hurt!"

Yun Changkong asked in surprise, "Bad guy? Who is it?"

Tao Ye Xian said, "We've come to find Yun Chang Kong. We've heard that he's highly skilled in martial arts, ruthless, and has a huge, blood-red mouth that eats immortals. He's the number one villain in the martial arts world. We want to have a go at him. You should step back so we don't hurt you."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Who told you this?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "It was Doctor Ping's wife who said that when Yun Changkong heard us call ourselves the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, he wanted to pull out our tendons and skin us. My sixth brother was so scared that he was speechless. I want to show him who skinned whom!"

The five men burst into laughter at the same time, their laughter so loud it shook the willow branches.

Yun Changkong smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "No wonder their internal strength is so powerful. It's precisely because of their muddled and carefree nature that they can cultivate their internal strength so efficiently!"

He also understood that Madam Ping wanted to make these scoundrels suffer a loss so that she could vent her anger for her husband.

It should be noted that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley were all highly skilled in internal energy cultivation and martial arts. In the eyes of Yue Buqun and his wife, the two of them could at most fight the three of them to a draw, and would most likely lose against the four. If all five of them attacked together, they could wipe out the Huashan Sect.

However, later someone was knocked unconscious by Master Fang Zheng's shout, indicating that the others were not up to the task.

Little did they know that it wasn't a proper fight, but a sneak attack.

Fang Zheng suddenly unleashed the supreme Shaolin "Vajra Lion's Roar" within two words of a normal sentence, stunning the group. Even with the profound internal strength of Daoist Chongxu, who was positioned to the side, he almost fainted.

Firstly, no one expected Master Fangzheng to launch a sneak attack in his capacity. Secondly, it's like everyone is having a normal conversation, and suddenly someone shouts at you with a megaphone—no one could stand that.

Suddenly, Ping pointed and said, "Have you all finished laughing?"

His voice, though not loud, was crystal clear, drowning out the laughter of the five men, every word audible.

The Five Immortals of Peach Valley immediately fell silent.

Tao Genxian said, "Doctor Ping, let Yun Changkong come out and have a match with us!"

Ping Yizhi snorted, "You bunch of blind fools! If you can't even recognize the person standing right in front of you, then don't embarrass yourselves!"

The Five Immortals of Peach Valley looked at each other, then suddenly stared at Yun Changkong.

Tao Genxian slowly said, "You are Yun Changkong!"

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "Indeed!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than, as if by some secret signal, the five men simultaneously moved as if by a mechanism, their four arms flashing out to grab Yun Changkong's limbs.

Yun Changkong spun around and slapped Tao Zhi and Tao Ye's shoulders with both palms. At that moment, Tao Genxian blocked Yun Changkong's hands with both palms.

It turns out that the Six Immortals of Peach Valley truly possessed astonishing skills. At the summit of Mount Hua, they tore Cheng Buyou, a master swordsman from the Mount Hua Sword Sect sent by Zuo Lengchan, into four pieces. Not only were their movements swift, but their coordination was also seamless: four of them grabbed the enemy's hands and feet, while the other two protected him from the side, leaving the opponent no room to resist or rescue.

Because a mere instant is enough time to lift and control a person.

Yun Changkong's two palm strikes were extremely fierce. If Tao Shixian were here, he and Tao Genxian should have attacked together to protect him.

At this moment, only Tao Genxian was there, but the other four immortals had already grabbed at Yun Changkong's limbs. When Yun Changkong saw Tao Genxian grabbing at him, he used his left palm to deflect and guide the attack, and Tao Genxian actually struck Tao Yexian's shoulder with his palm.

Yun Changkong used the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" technique, which took everyone by surprise.

With a thud, Peach Leaf Fairy was hit on the shoulder and involuntarily bumped into Peach Branch Fairy, who was about to grab Yun Changkong's ankle.

"Ouch!" With a cry, the two collided again, their bodies tumbling as if struck by lightning.

Yun Changkong sensed Peach Blossom Fairy and Peach Dry Fairy still grabbing at him. He didn't counter their attack, but instead spun around, and the two of them moved with him.

Yun Changkong suddenly reached out with both palms and placed them on the shoulders of the two men. The move was so fast that the two men had no time to block or dodge.

Yun Changkong gently released force with both palms, and the two of them, like kites with broken strings, were lifted off the ground, flying seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters) before crashing into two large willow trees with two loud thuds, causing the trees to sway violently.
