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

Chapter 48 will be released tomorrow
The book will be available for purchase tomorrow at 12 noon. There will be no update tonight. Readers don't need to wait. Regarding some readers' questions about the late update time tonight, here's an explanation.

Actually, it was early morning, so it was the second day's update.

For example, today is July 10th. Using a 24-hour clock, if the update is at 00:00, it will be July 11th.

I can choose not to update and update during the day, but it's the same thing.

Another point is that some readers make some incredibly stupid comments while boasting about how many fanfiction novels they've read.

Hehe, I just laughed.

Also, don't discuss with me the issue of whose force was used; I only refer to the original work.

Using TV drama plots as a basis, don't you think that's outrageous?
For visual effects, the TV series depicted Qiao Feng using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to create a dragon, standing at the foot of the mountain and blasting the mountaintop regardless of distance.

The idea that Shi Potian could withstand a sandstorm and fly into outer space is so outrageous. How can many of the original plot points still hold up?
Qiao Feng wouldn't need to fight people at close range at Juxian Manor; he could just stand a mile away and unleash a palm strike.

The Jin Yong martial arts system follows the principle that human strength is finite.

No matter how high your martial arts skills or how deep your internal strength are, you can't get past it.

In this worldview, the protagonist is the same!
He may have cheat codes, but he's still just a human.

It's not that others practice martial arts, but that he cultivates immortality. There are no immortals in Jin Yong's world, so there are no immortals in my fanfiction either.

Everyone here practices martial arts; there are differences in skill level, but it's not that outrageous.

Zhang Sanfeng was such a famous figure, yet Zhao Min's four unknown subordinates dared to gang up on him.

Indians dare to take on a one-on-one fight.

Although he was injured, he was not confident in dealing with Ah San, let alone Ah Er. Wasn't he telling you that he was a human? Could an immortal be hurt by a human?

Similarly, the protagonist took two heavy blows, and I wrote that he was injured, his inner energy scattered, like a kite with a broken string, and he secretly adjusted his breathing. What are you all arguing about here? Why don't you run away?

Is it really that easy?
You run away and people won't chase you, huh?

If I write a lot, people will criticize me for being long-winded.

To put it simply, you don't understand it at all, yet you consider yourself clever. Haha, you don't need internal energy to run away, do you?

Have you ever watched The Return of the Condor Heroes? In the scene where Ouyang Feng and Guo Jing are both injured, Ouyang Feng tries to run away but immediately struggles to move and is caught up by the little brat Yang Guo.

Brother, do you think this is running away?

Ouyang Feng had no choice; if he didn't run, he would die!
Even if the protagonist has Zhao Min in his grasp, does he have to follow her example and become unable to move after running less than a mile, leaving him at the mercy of others?

Why not take advantage of Zhao Min's presence and secretly adjust your luck?

Or is the protagonist running away on his own, or taking Zhao Min with him?

So they're not going to pursue her anymore, is that right?
Or do you think you can just say something like, "If you dare to pursue me, I'll kill her"?

They're all martial arts masters. You want to kill them? Well, try killing one and see if you can survive. It's like killing them would be the end of it!

In video games, you defeat the boss to complete the level and get the equipment you need.
If it were that easy, why did ancient emperors sometimes have fictitious rulers who could train a few people to kill powerful ministers, or simply carry a short sword and kill them in a fit of rage when they got close?

Why not do this?

That's because killing the powerful minister is not the end.

The key is to make sure the people you're having dinner with don't want to mess with you.

The protagonist is not like Jing Ke, who went to assassinate the King of Qin with the thought of never returning; he wants to get what he wants and sever ties with worldly debts!
If the goal was to kill Zhao Min, he could have simply struck her with a heavy blow; why bother with pulling and dragging?
All that effort was for the sake of killing someone!

Isn't this some kind of illogical logic?!
The protagonist plotted for so long just for a mutually destructive outcome?

That's not a video game. Once Zhao Min, the boss, is gone, the mobs automatically stop attacking. Do you think they'd just let you leave?
You come and go as you please, how can you expect people to put their faces like that!

If you ruin someone's livelihood, won't they fight back?
It's such a simple principle, but it seems like people won't understand it unless I write it down, and they end up scolding me for not writing it clearly.

I think it's a basic principle that everyone understands: if you mess with my pot, I'll fight you to the death. So there's no need to write it down!

This is also why Zhao Min would not easily give in. As a superior, if she were to immediately agree to the conditions when pressured by her subordinates, would she still have any authority?
Losing face in front of others is something a ruler fears most.

Therefore, Yelü Hongji's indignant words drove Qiao Feng to his death!
Then, in the novel *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, Liu Zhengfeng captures Fei Bin hoping to find a way out for his family, but Fei Bin refuses!

Because you held a sword to my neck, agreeing to your conditions was something Little Kara would do. The dignified Songshan Sect, if it were to plan something big, couldn't afford to lose face like that, not because it didn't care about Fei Bin's life!

In the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Zhang Wuji received three blows from Abbess Miejue. Abbess Miejue originally had a fondness for talent and wanted to let Zhang Wuji go!
But then King Yinye arrived, pointed his bow and arrow at them, and said, "If you strike this third time, you'll be buried with us!"
How does extinction happen?
Instead, she was determined to kill Zhang Wuji!
It's because she can't bear the reputation of being a coward who clings to life!

Zhang Wuji was just lucky; the Emei Nine Yang Skill was absorbed and assimilated by the Nine Yang Divine Skill. If it had been any other internal skill, he would have died.

Yin Yewang's cleverness backfired!
Submitting is not everyone's choice!

Just because you feel you've given in to this situation doesn't mean others will do the same. That's the key point!
Zhao Min was so wild that even her father knew she was capable of dying at any moment, so he had no choice but to let Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Ming Cult, have his way with her.

Zhao Min wasn't that fierce. Why would the Prince of Ruyang release Zhang Wuji? It's because he knew his daughter was a woman of her word and didn't want to see her die, so he had no choice but to release her!
If Zhao Min is just a pretty face, and the Prince of Ruyang is certain she's bluffing him, then why did he release Zhang Wuji?

Therefore, being alive is the bargaining chip, and Zhao Min's words are the basis for reaching an agreement; everything else is up to face-to-face discussion!
At this moment, the Prince of Ruyang said, "Release my daughter, and I will give you what you want!"

Zhao Min said, "Father, if you give it to me, I'll commit suicide. So, who does Prince Ruyang listen to?"

Not to mention what some people think: that you used this to blackmail the Xuanming Elders and A'er.

Imagine you were in charge of finance at a company.

Someone said, "If you don't pay me, I'll kill your boss!"

So, would you give him the money?
The boss says he'll give it to you, but will you?

You can't even understand such a simple principle.
