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

Chapter 9 The Kung Fu Is Wrong

Yin Wushou and the others thought that Yun Changkong was only arresting people to negotiate, but little did they know that Yun Changkong was not an ignorant child.

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Since Yin Wushou's men are all here, and I've already held you down, I'd be letting down all my efforts if I don't find a chance to kill you all."

Hearing Yun Changkong shout, Yun He laughed loudly, "Let's fight to the death!" His long sword wrapped around the four of them like a rope.

One of the Sky Eagle Sect members shouted, "Boy, die!" He leaped over two bodyguards and raised his sword to slash at Yun Changkong. The sword strike was heavy and fierce, producing a shrill sound.

Yun Changkong drew Yin Wushou's sword, used the Luohan Subduing Demon Technique to activate his Shaoyang meridian, and shouted, "Well done!" He then raised his sword to parry.

With a clang, the man felt a powerful force transmitted through the single blade, his tiger's mouth trembled violently, the long blade in his hand shot into the sky, and he staggered. At this moment, a bodyguard swung his blade, and the man's head fell to the ground.

When Yun Changkong saw someone fighting with his own people, he took advantage of his short stature and swung his sword to slash at the opponent's lower body.

He hasn't learned any weapon skills yet, but even with a simple slash to the leg, if the opponent dodges, they will inevitably be injured. If they try to block, they will be immediately controlled by the internal energy of the "Arhat Subduing Demons Skill," causing their blade to tremble and their body to go numb, leaving them unable to control themselves.

But now, Chang Kong wasn't the only one who made a move. Immediately, others seized the opportunity to finish them off, and in the blink of an eye, three people were killed.

Yin Wushou was alarmed and thought to himself, "This is bad." He gathered his strength and shouted, "You all leave quickly and tell the sect leader to avenge me!"

He suddenly realized that he had assumed Yun He was a powerful and valiant man who wouldn't run away, but with his arm severed and injured, he was certain that his arrival would be a swift and successful victory. However, with the anomaly Yun Changkong present, he was now subdued, and with Yun He added to the mix, his subordinates were no match for him.

Yun Changkong jumped over and kicked him in the mouth. Yin Wushou couldn't help but cry out in pain, which made several of his subordinates lose their composure. Two of them died on the spot.

At this moment, only Yun He was left to fight against three opponents. Yun Changkong saw that his long sword was attacking and parrying, the sword shadows were coming and going, and the speed was getting faster and faster. He was secretly amazed: "What kind of sword technique is this? Could it be the Weituo-Dharma Sword that Grandma talked about?"
Although the members of the Sky Eagle Cult were all top-notch fighters selected from among the hundred, once Yin Wushou was subdued, Yun He, after all, was the biggest镖头 (bodyguard/escort) in several provinces. Although his martial arts were not top-notch, he still possessed unique skills. In his desperate struggle, he used the "Weituo Subduing Demon Sword" technique, which, despite its low level of skill, was extremely powerful. Soon, all three of them were killed.

Yunhe's longsword trembled as he looked at Yin Wushou and shouted, "Yin Wushou, today I will avenge my severed arm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Changkong swung his single-edged sword, making a "whooshing" sound.

Yin Wushou saw the cold light rushing towards his chest. At this moment, he could only sigh inwardly, "I have roamed the martial world for decades, and I have actually died at the hands of a child!"

With a hiss, the single blade pierced through Yin Wushou's chest and emerged from his back. Before he could even breathe his last, Yun Changkong said, "We've already formed a blood feud with the Heavenly Eagle Sect. Let's just kill him cleanly and efficiently!"

Yin Wushou's eyes were filled with shock. He had never thought that the great reputation of the "Sky Eagle Sect" could not scare a child.

Yunhe shared the same thought, wondering, "Is this my son?"

At first, Yun Changkong didn't feel anything when facing the enemy, but when he saw the blood and flesh flying everywhere in the hall, lying haphazardly, and the corpses lying on the ground, he couldn't help but feel fear. Moreover, he had just used his internal energy to subdue the enemy, and his heart was filled with shock and tension, which was something he had never experienced before in his life.

He felt his legs go weak and slowly sat down. He thought to himself, "This is a feud between martial artists. If I hadn't cultivated the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill, how could I have subdued Yin Wushou so easily? Wouldn't I have died here? Yin Wushou's martial arts are much better than mine, but he is arrogant and died because of my trickery!"

"And what about me? Once I master the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill and possess the advantage of foresight, I will undoubtedly be unmatched by humans, and I'll inevitably develop a domineering attitude. But my enemies will certainly use cunning and trickery to outwit me. I must remember what happened today!"

When Yun He saw that Yun Changkong's behavior was very different from before, with his resourcefulness, decisiveness and ruthlessness, he couldn't help but feel that this was still his son.

Seeing his pale face, as if he had lost most of his soul, I felt it was only natural!

Perhaps his performance just now was simply a result of being forced to unleash his potential by danger.

At this moment, the crisis passed, and several maids and servants rushed out like a swarm of bees, calling out "Master" and "Young Master," creating chaos.

Yunhe shouted, "Stop!"

He always obeyed orders without question, and no one dared to disobey him, so they all fell silent.

Yunhe said, "With so many lives lost today, the Sky Eagle Sect will definitely not let this go. You must never reveal that you learned martial arts from me, and even less that you have worked for my Yun family. Now leave quickly!"

"Master, Master..."

The crowd prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing and saying, "Master, Lord, your kindness to your disciples is as heavy as a mountain..." Tears streamed down their faces. "Alright!" Yun Changkong stood up and said, "Save these tears for when you're about to die! If anyone finds out about you in the future, just say that I, Yun Changkong, killed them. If they want to kill you to vent their anger, tell them that if they want revenge, there is a way to find me: five years from now, I will go to Wudang Mountain to break my father's oath! As for how to say it so that you can escape this calamity, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

Yun Changkong's behavior just now had already secretly alarmed everyone. He was nothing like the kind and gentle man he used to be. But after hearing these words, they felt that this was the same young master they remembered.

Yunhe smiled knowingly. He had not expected much from his son, but Yun Changkong was not only exceptionally intelligent, but also surpassed him in chivalry. This was tantamount to giving these people a life-saving talisman with his own life.

Yunhe was greatly relieved and said, "Do as Kong'er says, and go quickly. Don't bring any daily necessities. Take the money with you, and you can buy them elsewhere."

Everyone immediately stopped crying, bowed a few times, and hurriedly left.

Yun He said to Yun Changkong, "Some of your actions just now were rather unmanly and severely damaged your reputation. If this gets out, how will you live your life?"

Yun Changkong pouted and said, "As long as the goal is achieved, why bother about the method!"

"Nonsense!" Yunhe was furious. "If that's the case, then what's the difference between them and the Sky Eagle Sect, those scoundrels of the martial world who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals?"

Yun Changkong smiled slightly, put his palms together and said, "Amitabha. The Buddha said: All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles and shadows. They are all empty and illusory. Why should you be attached to appearances, Father?"

Yunhe was taken aback.

Just then, they heard the sound of Madam Yun's footsteps and she said, "The father and son are still talking here. Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Yes!"

Yunhe immediately carried his mother on his back and said, "Come with me!"

Yun Changkong followed behind.

Under the cover of night, the group emerged from a small gate in the backyard of the escort agency. Yunhe held Changkong's hand and carried his mother on his back, yet his stamina was astonishing as he traversed the streets and alleys. Yun Changkong's heart pounded as he followed, and he could only regulate his breathing with his internal energy cultivation technique.

They came to a long alley, which was deserted and sparsely populated. Yunhe suddenly turned into a courtyard. By the moonlight, he saw that the flowers and plants were sparse and the place looked somewhat desolate. The few tiled houses were pitch black and quiet, like a haunted house.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Father, is this my family's refuge?"

Madam Yun said, "This is my family's old house. Your grandfather and I lived here. Not many people know about it."

Yunhe said, "The city gates are all closed now, so we can't leave the city. We can only rest for the night and leave the city tomorrow."

Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Even I, your cheap father, know to leave myself a way out, but things are unpredictable, and sometimes people don't give you a chance."

Yunhe and his companions entered a room, lit candles, and found the furnishings to be simple, no different from those of an ordinary house.

Yun Changkong said, "Father, there's no guarantee that our family members won't be implicated and sell us. We need to change our attire before leaving the city tomorrow. Grandmother is easy to deal with, but you are a famous figure in the martial arts world, and you've lost an arm. You don't look like an ordinary little man..."

"Kong'er!" Yunhe interrupted him, "You really are not like an ordinary child. You've changed so much that I almost don't recognize you."

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Yun Changkong knew that his behavior was different from the original body and had aroused suspicion. So he said, "Father, what changes have there been? Many people say that cause and effect is just Buddha talking nonsense. Little do they know that this is ignorance without knowing it."

Everything in this world has a cause and an effect; every effect has a cause. Whether it's the Longmen Escort Agency, Zhang Cuishan, Yin Susu, or even our own experiences, or the deaths of people we didn't even know, none of them can escape this fate.

Many people see the result and think they understand the cause, but they don't realize they don't understand the true cause at all!

Yunhe and the old lady were completely confused and didn't understand what he was saying at all.

The old lady spat and said, "Have you lost your mind? You're just like a monk."

Yun He was startled. Recalling Yun Changkong's earlier remark about Amitabha, he pondered and said, "Son, isn't that kung fu a bit off?"
