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

The crowd was initially amazed by the four men's arrogant expressions, but their demeanor suddenly changed. The old man, in particular, now had a kind face, which surprised everyone.

Yun Changkong laughed loudly, "I was wondering who was so imposing. It turns out to be Elder Bao. What a coincidence!"

He sat there like a drop of water in the ocean, no different from anyone else, but once he opened his mouth, he exuded an aura that made people's hearts flutter.

It turned out that these four people were the elders of the Sun Moon Sect: Bao Dachu, Wang Cheng, Sang Sanniang, and Qin Weibang.

Back in Jinling, several men were ordered by Yang Lianting to recruit Yun Changkong. Yun Changkong, disdaining such people, flatly refused and even challenged Dongfang Bubai to a duel at Blackwood Cliff. The men, intimidated by his martial prowess, dared not act, and upon returning, they did not truthfully report the matter.

This time, he was sent to Hangzhou on Yang Lianting's orders to take Ren Woxing's life, but unexpectedly, he ran into Yun Changkong again.

They had all heard Shangguan Yun say that Jia Bu, as an elder of the Azure Dragon Hall and the head of the ten elders, had been driven mad by a single flute performance. How could these elders not be afraid?

Bao Dachu laughed and said, "You are a master of the world, living a carefree life, unlike us ordinary people who spend our days wandering the martial world."

Yun Changkong smiled slightly and said, "You flatter me. You are all important figures in the Sun Moon Divine Sect. What are you planning to do this time?"

Upon hearing this, several people at the tables inside the shop stood up simultaneously, and some even headed outside. Although they weren't members of the martial arts world, but merely merchants, they had heard a great deal about the Sun Moon Cult.

Every time they appeared, it was a scene of carnage. The Demonic Sect wasn't called that for nothing; they would leave immediately.

We didn't care about the rain.

In an instant, only Yun Changkong and his group remained in the shop. The shopkeeper and the waiter ran straight into the back room.

Bao Dachu was quite helpless about Yun Changkong's question. If he didn't answer, he was afraid that Yun Changkong would use it as an excuse to punish him. He also couldn't say that he was going to Plum Manor. So he said, "To be honest, since Luoyang, the Holy Maiden has been missing. The sect leader was afraid that she might be lost, so he ordered us to come out and search for her. As a result, we heard someone making wild claims, so we came to take a look."

The monk Bujie burst into laughter: "So that's why people love to fart so much! Turns out you're from the Demonic Sect!"

The term "Demon Sect" is a grave offense to the Sun Moon Sect. Although people in the martial arts world often mention "Demon Sect" behind their backs, they would never use it to refer to someone's face unless they were openly enemies.

Monk Bujie was outspoken and spoke recklessly. He was already displeased to see Bao Dachu, who had been so arrogant, being treated so respectfully by Yun Changkong. Now, seeing Bao Dachu spouting such nonsense, he realized that Bao Dachu was talking about him. So he didn't care about the number of people on the other side.

The four elders were all enraged.

Qin Weibang shouted sternly, "You bald monk, what's your name? Which sect are you from?" He had earned his position through hard work and fighting, so why should he fear others?

The monk Bujie remained calm and fearless, laughing, "I am a wild monk whom neither big temples nor small temples want, without any sect or school, so what?"

His arrogance was even greater than that of the Demonic Sect. Qin Weibang's eyes narrowed, and he was about to lash out.

Bao Dachu stretched out his arm to stop him, looked at Yun Changkong, and said, "Since the monk is a friend of Hero Yun, we can turn a blind eye. But this mad monk's nonsense is disrespectful to our Sun Moon Divine Sect. How can you face the Holy Maiden?"

Yun Changkong was taken aback: "What does this have to do with anything?"

The monk Bujie muttered, "Damn it, what kind of saying is this?"

Nasang Sanniang said calmly, "Hero Yun, you injured so many people from our sect for the sake of the Holy Maiden, and now you let this mad monk spout nonsense here. What kind of logic is that? It probably won't do you any good for your reputation!"

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Both Monk Bujie and she are doing this for Linghu Chong, what does it have to do with me!"

Monk Bujie laughed and said, "A monk can say whatever he wants. One person does something and one person takes responsibility. If you have the ability, then come and try. If you don't, then get lost. What nonsense are you spouting?"

Bao Dachu sneered: "To be honest, what are you, you bald monk? If it weren't for Hero Yun being here, you would have been dead for saying you wanted to kill the Holy Maiden!"

Monk Bujie laughed heartily: "No matter what you say, your Demonic Sect is just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. You still dare to swagger around in the martial world and call yourselves gods. You are truly shameless!"

Qin Weibang coldly shouted, "Bald monk, if you have the guts, step forward and take a few of my moves!"

The monk Bujie clapped his hands and exclaimed, "That's more like it! I'll come and have a go with you!" He then got up and went to greet Qin Weibang.

Qin Weibang shouted loudly, "I am Qin Weibang. You better remember this before the King of Hell!" He dodged and chopped down with his palm, aiming at the left chest of Monk Bujie.

Bu Jie laughed, "You think you can take me on?" He then slashed diagonally with his right palm, striking Qin Weibang's pulse point, followed immediately by a thrust of his left palm, striking his shoulder.
The monk Bujie's martial arts style is similar to his personality; he follows a fierce and aggressive path, striking with great power and ruthlessness. He is also fearless and reckless, completely disregarding his own safety, making him extremely intimidating.

However, Qin Weibang was a top talent in the Sun Moon Sect. He slightly shifted his body, his left hand forming a knife-like shape as he slashed towards the monk's elbow, simultaneously dodging the palm strike. At the same time, his right hand reached for the monk Bujie's pulse point, while his right foot kicked directly at the monk's knee.

These three moves are ruthless and sharp, truly extraordinary.

The monk Bujie lowered his palm, turned his body suddenly, and delivered an elbow strike to the opponent's vital point on the back.

In an instant, the two exchanged blows, their fingers and palms flying, the wind howling, and they fought for more than twenty moves without a clear winner.

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "So the martial arts of Monk Bujie are on par with those of this Demonic Sect elder!"

I overestimated him!

Seeing the two fighting so fiercely, Yilin's heart pounded, her face changed color, and she quietly asked Yun Changkong, "Young Master Yun, do you think my father can win?"

Yun Changkong gave an irrelevant reply: "Little sister, take my advice, don't come out with your father anymore."

Yilin's eyes widened, and her little hands unconsciously clenched. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Yun Changkong said, "If you follow him, you'll lose your life sooner or later."

Yun Changkong knew that the monk Bujie was outspoken, that was just his nature. He could manage on his own; if he couldn't win, he could run. But with Yilin by his side, his lack of foresight was courting death. As a daughter, how could Yilin ignore her father's danger? Wouldn't they both die in the end?
Yilin's eyes flickered, and her lips pursed slightly.
She wasn't stupid; she understood what Yun Changkong meant.

The two had exchanged a hundred blows in the blink of an eye, yet it was still impossible to determine who was superior.

In the midst of the struggle, suddenly the monk Bujie shouted in a sharp voice: "Old ghost Qin, if you keep toying with me like this, I'm going to curse you."

Qin Weibang said coldly, "You bald thief, you resort to insults when you can't win?"

It turned out that Monk Bujie was impatient and launched a fierce attack right from the start. His powerful and sharp martial arts were extremely exhausting.

Qin Weibang was highly skilled in martial arts and had a treacherous and cunning nature, so he adopted a hit-and-run strategy, constantly exhausting the monk Bujie's internal energy so that he could find an opportunity to strike. It looked like he was playing a trick on him.

However, the monk Bujie possessed profound inner strength and unique martial arts skills, coupled with his fearlessness in the face of death, making it difficult for him to succeed easily.

However, seeing how formidable this guy was, and with three others standing guard beside him, the monk Bujie felt immense pressure, fearing that the other party might take advantage of the situation. Therefore, he became somewhat uneasy and weak.

Yun Changkong said, "Master, calm down and fight slowly. An elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect cannot rely on numbers to win and lose face for Dongfang Bubai!"

Upon hearing this, Monk Bujie burst into laughter and said, "That's right! What do you mean by 'Invincible East'? I think it's 'Destined to be Defeated East'!"

Upon hearing this, all the elders of the Demonic Sect turned pale.

Qin Weibang coldly said, "You're courting death!" He lowered his body, raised his left hand, and with his right hand, his five fingers like hooks, grabbed at the throat of Monk Bujie.

The monk Bujie thrust his palm down, striking the monk's forehead.

Unexpectedly, Qin Weibang disregarded everything, using one hand to lock onto Bu Jie's throat and the other to suddenly stab at his "abdominal knot" acupoint.

The elders of the Demonic Sect and Yun Changkong tensed up; they both realized the viciousness of this move, which would result in mutual destruction.

No, it's a lose-lose situation.

It should be understood that the entire Demonic Sect reveres its leader as a god. If anyone insults the leader's name, and the followers do not come out to defend the leader's reputation at the cost of their lives, they are committing a heinous crime.

They were enraged when the monk Bujie said he would kill the Holy Maiden, and now that they heard him shout "The East will surely be defeated," Qin Weibang was determined to kill the monk Bujie.

Qin Weibang moved with lightning speed, his energy striking rapidly. Monk Bujie was shocked, realizing that these two deadly moves were unavoidable. If he changed his move, he would be at a disadvantage. Instead, he hardened his expression, disregarded everything, and struck Qin Weibang's head with his palm.

One of them was about to have his skull shattered, and the other was about to die whether his throat was grabbed or his "abdominal knot" acupoint was struck!
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed over, a hand swiftly meeting the giant palm that Monk Bujie was about to strike Qin Weibang's head with. One hand grabbed Qin Weibang's hand...

With a loud bang, the three of them suddenly split up. Monk Bujie staggered back three steps, while Qin Weibang was grabbed by the wrist by Yun Changkong and flung away, landing against the wall.

Then Yun Changkong stood there, his clothes fluttering, looking quite dashing.

"Great!" Bao Dachu and the others cheered in unison.

It turned out that when Yun Changkong saw the two in danger, he didn't have time to think and stepped in to save them. He caught a palm strike from Monk Bujie and subdued Qin Weibang. The speed and accuracy of his actions were truly astonishing.

Yun Changkong clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "I was just taking a shortcut, please excuse my foolishness."

Although Yun Changkong's attack came when the two were at full strength, which was taking advantage of their vulnerability, the fight between these two masters was not something that ordinary people could interfere with. Moreover, Yun Changkong's accuracy and speed at the crucial moment were no less than those in a head-on confrontation.

The monk Bujie let out a long breath and cursed, "You surnamed Qin, you're supposed to be someone important, yet you resort to such shameless tactics. Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the Demonic Sect?"

He had just received a palm strike from Yun Changkong, and his right arm felt sore and difficult to lift, his internal energy even stagnant. Now that he was fully recovered, he didn't thank him, but instead started cursing. Qin Weibang coldly said, "You bald thief, don't pretend to be a gentleman in front of this elder!"

Turning to Yun Changkong, he said, "You are a renowned figure in the martial arts world. It is beneath your dignity to associate with this bald monk who has no manners. I wonder what the Holy Maiden would think if she knew!"

The monk Bujie cursed, "Cultivate you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Changkong flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind forced him back to his feet, saying, "Master, please wait, I have something to say."

Yun Changkong looked at the elders of the Demonic Sect and said, "You are all important figures in the Sun Moon Sect, and you do not act rashly. This time, you have come to Jiangnan together, but I'm afraid it's not for the Holy Maiden!"

Qin Weibang said, "We admire your skills, but we ask that you not interfere in our sect's affairs!"

Yun Changkong laughed heartily and said, "I have long said that I have heard of Dongfang Bubai's unparalleled prowess in the martial arts world and his reputation as the number one master in the world. So I wanted to meet him, but unfortunately, that bastard Blackwood Cliff did not come out."

"Of course, one should leave some room for maneuver in life and in business. I have always admired Dongfang Bubai's martial arts, and it would be a great pity if I couldn't experience it myself. Therefore, please convey my message again, requesting that he deign to grace Plum Manor with his presence!"

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Demonic Sect looked tense, and even the usually bold and fearless monk Bujie lost his fierce expression, as if he had instantly become a Buddha.

Yilin's lips were tightly pressed together, and she looked uneasy.

She had also heard of "Dongfang Bubai," the number one martial arts master in the world, but she didn't expect Yun Changkong to directly challenge her to a duel.

However, the elders of the Demonic Sect were in an extremely awkward position, unsure whether to leave or stay, and were stuck there.

Yun Changkong's words were a far more serious offense to the Sun Moon Sect than those against the monk Bujie. Moreover, he chose Plum Manor specifically to challenge the sect leader.

For a moment, I was stunned and speechless, losing my composure.

After a moment, Bao Dachu laughed and said, "It's perfectly reasonable for Hero Yun to want to experience the Master's divine skills. After all, in this world, there is no one else besides the Master who can fight Hero Yun and dares to fight him!"

My master also admires you greatly, but he is entangled in worldly affairs and simply doesn't have the time. However, I will certainly convey your message, but why choose Plum Manor as the location?”

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "I've heard that your sect's former leader, Ren Woxing, is still alive and is being imprisoned at Plum Manor. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Upon hearing this, the group of people were all shocked, their hearts pounding in their chests: "So that's how it is, no wonder they chose Plum Manor!"

Bao Dachu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "How can you believe all the rumors in the martial arts world? It is common knowledge that the former leader of our sect was poisoned by the Five Mountains Sword Sect in collusion twelve years ago."

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "Is that so? I have long admired Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Skill and wanted to go to Plum Manor to pay him a visit. It seems I was misled by what I heard. Fortunately, the scenery on Lonely Mountain is beautiful. Even if I can't see Ren Woxing, it would be good to meet the Eastern Cult Leader!"

He then looked at the elders and said, "You won't disappoint me, will you?"

Qin Weibang stepped forward and said, "Elder Bao, Elder Wang, Elder Sang, you can still tolerate this, but I can't. We've been looked down upon time and time again. How can we face the world in the future? We might as well have a good fight."

The monk Bujie laughed and said, "Good, although I look down on the behavior of you demonic sect members, I didn't expect you old man to be a man of courage!"

Qin Weibang said, "Yun Changkong, your martial arts are far superior to ours. In a one-on-one fight, none of us are your match. We will join forces to learn a few moves from you."

Yun Changkong smiled faintly and said loudly, "Very well!"

The four of them swayed and surrounded Yun Changkong at the core.

Yun Changkong knew that the four people were all experts, so he dared not be too careless and focused his mind and energy.

The four exchanged a glance, when suddenly Bao Dachu said sternly, "Excuse me." He then unleashed a powerful palm strike towards Yun Changkong.

Wang Cheng punched Yun Changkong's left side, Sang Sanniang grabbed Yun Changkong's arm and launched a flying kick from under her skirt, Qin Weibang made a tricky move, striking his right side with his right palm and using his left hand to feint and then strike, seemingly attacking but not actually attacking.

When Monk Bujie saw that Yun Changkong was surrounded by enemies, he was quite perceptive and realized that the group had a tacit understanding. Their martial arts skills were comparable to his own, and if it were him, he would have run away without hesitation.

Yun Changkong flicked his left palm, his body spun like the Big Dipper, and redirected all the force of Bao Dachu's attack, heading straight for Qin Weibang.

Bao Dachu's "Blue Sand Hand" was also a unique skill in the martial arts world. He felt his strength being pulled by a force, and he was actually hitting his own people.

Moreover, passing through Yun Changkong's area, the speed was like lightning, and the palm force was overwhelming. Qin Weibang quickly changed his move, blocking with both palms. With a bang, he was sent flying out of the window.

Although Bao Dachu's martial arts were slightly better than Qin Weibang's, Yun Changkong's palm strike, with its force of inhalation and exhalation, sent him back two steps with a thud, a purple aura rising from his face.

Meanwhile, Sang San Niang and Wang Cheng took the opportunity to attack from both sides. Unexpectedly, Yun Changkong turned his feet and suddenly separated his hands. Sang San Niang grabbed Wang Cheng with her palm, while Wang Cheng punched her in the chest.

Fortunately, both of them were truly skilled in martial arts; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold the positions of elders in the Sun Moon Sect. Furthermore, they were wary of Yun Changkong's techniques and didn't dare use their full moves, quickly withdrawing their attacks.

Ke Yun Chang Kong swiftly struck the two men with two palm strikes. The two men felt the palm winds rushing towards them like a raging wave and had no choice but to block.

With two loud thuds, the two of them somersaulted backward. Although they had lost a lot of the force, they still felt their blood rushing to their heads.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Changkong forced back the four masters with a few moves, his figure flashing as he rushed to Bao Dachu's side.

With lightning speed, Bao Dachu had no time to retaliate before he felt a tightness in his chest as Yun Changkong's left palm was already pressed against his chest.

Bao Dachu felt a sudden jolt in his mind, and his mind went completely blank.

Wang Cheng and Sang San Niang were both ice-cold.

The monk Bujie wanted to cheer, but he felt a lump in his throat and could not get it out.

Yun Changkong's name resounded throughout the martial arts world. Everyone knew he was highly skilled in martial arts, but no one could have imagined that he was this skilled.

They thought they might still lose, but they never imagined they would lose so badly.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would definitely think anyone who said that was just spouting nonsense.

Bao Dachu, who had lived a life of adventure and freedom, tasted the bitterness of a hero's downfall in a fleeting moment, and was filled with despair.

Unexpectedly, Yun Chang held back his palm strike, gently patted the man's chest, and said, "You do have some self-control. Not bad, not bad!" He then turned and returned to his seat.

Bao Dachu was pale and breathing rapidly. He only realized what was happening after Yun Changkong sat down and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "In this world, besides Dongfang Bubai, there is no other one who could interest me in killing!"

"Haha..." Monk Bujie laughed loudly, "Did you hear that? Go back and practice your kung fu for another fifty years before you come back to wait for your death!"

Bao Dachu muttered, "Even if I train for another hundred years, I'm still not worth your killing!"

Seeing his fear and frustration, Bu Jie, Wang Cheng, and the others could understand. To reach the level that Yun Changkong would be interested in killing, one would need to be evenly matched, if not equally matched, which was impossible for him.

Yun Changkong said calmly, "I don't care where you're going. Go back to Blackwood Cliff right now and tell Dongfang Bubai that I'm giving him a month. If he's a real man, he should come to Plum Manor on Lonely Mountain and challenge me. If he doesn't arrive by the deadline, I'll reveal the secret of cultivating the Sunflower Manual to the world and then take down all your Sun Moon Sect's branches one by one. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their chests heaving. The elder of the Demonic Sect was both shocked and furious, filled with shame and anger.

The monk Bujie and Yilin were awestruck by his imposing and powerful aura.

This is a genuine one-on-one teaching session!
If Dongfang Bubai continues to turn a deaf ear, he'll be nothing but a coward, and the Sun Moon Sect will have no place in the martial arts world.

Bao Dachu bowed and said, "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I will certainly inform the sect leader and take my leave." He then stepped out of the shop.

Qin Weibang was unwilling to accept this. Although he was shocked by Yun Changkong's unparalleled martial arts skills, he said, "Your challenge to the Eastern Cult Leader, do you really want to fight against our sect?"

Yun Changkong's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Do you still wish to impart your knowledge to me?"

The monk Bujie laughed and said, "There really are servants in this world who become more courageous when they mention their masters. Hehe, you surnamed Qin, you have really wasted your great skills and spirit!"

Qin Weibang silently turned around and followed.

Monk Bujie suddenly said to Yun Changkong, "Brother, I've heard rumors that you and the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect are doing this and that, and that she and Linghu Chong are doing that..."

Yun Changkong waved his hand and said, "Master, I may be shameless, and Linghu Chong may be unrestrained, but this concerns a virtuous young woman. Please do not say it again."

The monk Bujie asked, "So all of this is just a rumor?"

Yun Changkong said, “She is about the same age as your daughter, just beginning to experience love, and everyone knows that young girls are in love. But she is not my lover. It is her freedom to be with whomever she wants. We will not gossip like ordinary people, that’s all.”

Seeing that he spoke frankly, the monk Bujie was very pleased and said with a smile, "Good, Brother Yun, for your courage and ambition, we should drink a big cup of wine!" He poured him a cup of wine.

Yun Changkong drank it and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you were going to marry your daughter to me? Why are you calling me brother now? Isn't that absurd?" (End of Chapter)
