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

Chapter 46 Women are hard to raise
While surrounded by several top experts, Yun Changkong was still deep in thought. He wasn't thinking about killing Cheng Kun or escaping. What he was thinking about was how to capture Zhao Min, obtain the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment, and most importantly, the antidote for the "Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder" while surrounded by five top experts.

To be honest, with Yun Changkong's internal strength, he would have taken ordinary sleeping pills like pepper. But this "Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder" was too powerful. Even Zhang Wuji, who had mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill and was immune to all poisons, couldn't withstand it. So there was no one in the world who could resist it.

Even if he wasn't poisoned at the moment, he still had to get the antidote and carry it with him to ensure his safety.

However, Yun Changkong's words surprised Zhao Min and A'er and A'san, because this "Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment" was a miraculous bone-healing medicine from the Vajra Sect of the Western Regions, which even ordinary disciples of the sect did not know about.

This "Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder" is a unique treatment used only by Tibetan monks of the Tantric sect, and even Zhao Min's top fighters do not know its name. So how did Yun Changkong know about it?

Zhao Min's eyes darted around, and she tilted her head to look at Chang Kong, smiling as she said, "How many times have you actually been to my house?"

She realized that Yun Changkong had been discovered by Cheng Kun when he sneaked into the manor today. So how many times had he gone undetected? Who could know? Perhaps he had overheard her conversation with her father.

Yun Changkong was struck twice by heavy blows, and the pain was unbearable, but he didn't utter a sound. He secretly regulated his breathing and smiled faintly: "This is a secret. Let's be straightforward and quickly bring the medicine. Don't make things difficult for us!"

"Difficult?" Zhao Min chuckled. "I love your shamelessness!" As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake and her face flushed.

Seeing her face reflected in the moonlight, her cheeks smooth and radiant without a single freckle, her eyelashes fluttering, and a sweet fragrance emanating from her breath, Chang Kong couldn't help but think, "This girl truly has the potential to be the most beautiful woman in Mongolia!"

Seeing him staring directly at her, Zhao Min tilted her head back and forth, saying with a serious expression, "I do have the medicine you want, but I'm not giving it to you. What are you going to do? Kill me?"

Yun Changkong sneered, "Can't I kill you?"

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Killing me would be easy for you, but can you take the medicine and leave? Do you think I don't know your background?"

Yun Changkong, having suffered two heavy blows and was severely injured, was in excruciating pain in his back. He was circulating his qi to regulate his breathing when he heard her words, and his heart began to race. He also knew that while he had captured the leader, this was only the beginning of the game, not the end.

Because he didn't come here to fight Zhao Min to the death!

The hostage is used to coerce the other party into agreeing to their conditions.

But if you kill her because she refuses, it would be a lose-lose situation. Not only would you lose the point of capturing her, but you would also be buried with her.

Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "So you're a bachelor too. Is it fashionable these days to not value your life?"
Fine, it's not surprising that you don't care about other people's lives, even beasts and barbarians do the same. But you don't care about your own life? Where did you learn that from?
Are you really going to force me to do something against my will, like drinking a penalty cup when I refuse a polite offer?

Zhao Min was furious when she heard what he said!

What do you mean by forcing him to go against his conscience? Does that mean he was captured willingly? Fortunately, she had already witnessed Chang Kong's shamelessness and found it quite amusing. Instead, she smiled and said, "You Han people have a saying, 'Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with.' Have you heard it?"

Chang Kong snorted, "Women are hard to deal with, hehe, I specialize in dealing with this kind of bachelor, you better not push me to that point!"

"Don't try to scare me!" Zhao Min snorted back. "You can use force to coerce me or kill me, it's up to you."

But your victory was too dishonorable, and I just can't accept it. Getting the medicine is going to be extremely difficult, absolutely impossible!
I can tell you, even my father and brothers can't change my mind, you know?

Chang Kong knew of her "glorious deed" of threatening her father and brothers to save Zhang Wuji by slitting her own throat. Both of them were helpless, which showed how fierce her temperament was. Otherwise, the Great Master Zhang would have died long ago. He chuckled and said, "I know who you are, but five of your men fought against one of me, and I captured you alive. How dare you say that I am dishonorable? You are not convinced by these words?"

Zhao Min glared at him fiercely and said, "From the very beginning, you broke into my house not for Mr. Cheng, but for me."

But you deliberately acted as if you were irreconcilably opposed to him, making us think that you only had a grudge against him and that you had come with him. In fact, this was to impress us. Then you deliberately spoke rudely to us, firstly to make us think that you were an arrogant and conceited fool, and secondly to provoke me and my subordinates, making us agitated and unable to think carefully, and preventing them from remaining calm and composed, thus hindering them from using their martial arts skills.

That wasn't enough. You launched a sneak attack when I ordered someone to fight you one-on-one, and when everyone was angrily demanding the order.

When my men tried to defend you, you went around in circles, giving the impression that you were outmatched and trying to escape.

The real goal is to separate them so they can strike me decisively.

Okay, at least you used your brain.

But as a martial artist, and from both Buddhism and Taoism, have you ever truly fought anyone from beginning to end?
Now they're holding a thirteen-year-old girl like me hostage, blackmailing me. What kind of behavior is this? Why should I submit to them? What do you want me to submit to? Your despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous methods?

"That's right!" A-San pointed angrily and said, "If you're really capable, let's have a fair fight. Only if you can defeat me can you be considered a true hero! Only then will you have the right to make any demands!"

"Haha..." Chang Kong saw Zhao Min speaking eloquently and clearly seeing through his plans. Although they were on different sides, he admired her. This young woman's insight was indeed remarkable.

He knew that he would always lose if he fought one-on-one with anyone before, because they could use a series of attacks.

Once you understand your own strength, there will be no chance of capturing Zhao Min!

Chang Kong's laughter subsided, and he said, "You're right, you were my target from the beginning. But don't be so clever."

"The Mr. Cheng you're talking about, do you think I wouldn't know he's 'Hun Yuan Thunderbolt Hand' Cheng Kun if you didn't tell me?"

Everyone was immediately taken aback.

Chang Kong sneered, "Let me tell you again, if I want to keep him, all I need to do is expose his shameful deeds and identity, and he will definitely try to silence me."

But though I am arrogant, I am not stupid.

You're all in cahoots. It's almost impossible for me to kill him by myself; in fact, it would only make it harder to capture you.

And in order to get him to help you plan against the martial arts world, you will definitely make him leave. This is within my expectations, and it is also something I can foresee!

Haha, how laughable that you are so blindly confident and made a series of miscalculations, thinking that you could take down anyone with these five people!
I used a little trick to disperse their henchmen and strike right at their heart, yet they accuse me of being cunning, unscrupulous, and despicable. Ha! They really are turning the tables on me! Women and petty people are hard to deal with!

He pointed at the two elders of Xuanming and said, "As for their resentment at losing, these two are just fooling people with the cold energy of the Xuanming Poison Palm. If it weren't for this cold poison, there would be no more than seven or eight people in the martial world who could match them, if not a dozen or twenty. As for me fighting them one-on-one, it would be a piece of cake!"

Lu Zhangke sneered, "Anyone can talk big, but if you're so capable, come and exchange ten blows with me!"

He was confident in his profound inner strength and the Xuanming Divine Palm, which was the most powerful martial art in the world. So he immediately clashed with Yun Changkong in the first battle. However, he did not expect that the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" and the "Pure Yang Finger" were both divine skills that had never been seen before.

Caught off guard, he suffered a loss with a single palm strike, but he also realized that the other man's internal strength was no greater than his own. Now that he knew the situation, he was extremely unconvinced.

He longed to be a powerful figure in the capital, to be treated with great respect by the Prince of Ruyang, but he could only watch helplessly as Zhao Min fell into the hands of others. He possessed superb skills but was powerless to rescue her. This was the greatest disgrace of his life, and he could not possibly accept defeat.
