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

Chapter 17 What is there to fear?
Yun Changkong's shout contained profound inner strength, like a thunderclap, causing the trees to tremble.

Even with her profound internal strength, the woman in yellow felt a buzzing in her ears and her hand movements slowed down.

The Buddhist school has a skill called "Lion's Roar." If one's internal strength is mastered, a single shout can cause ten thousand people to flee in terror; its power is boundless.

Although Chang Kong did not understand the "Lion's Roar," the energy cultivation techniques in the "Arhat Subduing Demons Skill" already encompassed it. Therefore, this shout was no different from the "Lion's Roar" divine skill.

Seeing the woman in yellow pause for a moment, Chang Kong seized the opportunity and unleashed the "Dragon Subduing Tiger" technique with both fists, sending a powerful force crashing down like a tidal wave.

The woman in yellow was stunned not only because she was shaken by Chang Kong's internal energy, but also because she was shocked by the content of Chang Kong's words.

Seeing the force of the attack coming from the sky, she thrust her two fair hands forward to her chest, taking the blow head-on.

The two forces collided, and the force surged outwards, instantly creating a whirlwind. The woman's body swayed slightly, and she was already flying diagonally into the sky.

Chang Kong knew that the woman's martial arts were far superior to his own, and that fighting her would only lead to his own demise. He had already thought of a way to escape, so he used the force of her movements to fly back and tried to reach the top of the tree to start his escape.

Unexpectedly, the woman in yellow was far superior to Chang Kong in martial arts, lightness skill, and internal strength. Just now, she used the "Heavenly Net" style, which had already prevented Chang Kong from escaping. Now, she lightly touched her toes and used the "Delicate and Graceful Azure" lightness skill, which was even more superior from the Ancient Tomb Sect.

She leaped high into the air, looking like a fairy dancing on the water in the moonlight. Her ascent was even faster than if she had taken flight by borrowing strength from the sky.

Yun Changkong had only been flying for about 24 or 25 feet when the woman was already level with him, showing how quickly she arrived.

The two were about four or five feet apart when the woman waved her long sleeves and darted into the sky, like light and air, so agile and indistinguishable.

If Chang Kong had just shot up a few more feet, he could have reached the top of the tree and started running, but the woman blocked his way, leaving him dazzled.

"Clap clap!" Chang Kong's shoulder trembled, as if a soft, hidden force from his sleeve had penetrated his body, causing his meridians to vibrate. His true energy loosened, and his body inevitably sank downwards.

Chang Kong reacted quickly, disregarding everything, he kicked off the tree trunk behind him, took a deep breath, and shot forward like a cannonball, crashing headfirst into the woman in yellow's chest.

The woman in yellow's martial arts skills far surpassed Chang Kong's, but Chang Kong's move was a desperate attempt to survive. This method was something that ordinary people often saw when they were fighting for their lives, but it was not a martial arts move.

For any other person, the woman in yellow could easily smash their head with a flick of her wrist. But Chang Kong possessed profound internal strength, and this headbutt came swiftly and fiercely. The force of the blow was so strong that it made her gasp for breath, and its power was beyond description.

The woman in yellow was startled as she was in mid-air. Even if she used her sleeve to roll up the tree and pull herself away, it would be too late. She quickly turned around to try and get out of the way.

However, for any expert, maneuvering nimbly in the air is more than ten times more difficult than on the ground, and the speed is naturally inferior.

Despite the woman in yellow trying to shrink back, she only managed to avoid being hit on the chest. With a thud, she was slammed headfirst into Chang Kong's shoulder.

Even with her superior internal strength, which had dissipated most of her power, the woman in yellow still felt excruciating pain, and her body went numb. She hurriedly channeled her inner energy and struck the "Lingtai" acupoint on Changkong's back.

The force penetrated straight through his meridians. No matter how deep Chang Kong's internal energy was, his vision went black, and he could no longer gather the true energy he had been trying to gain by stepping on the tree.

He was in mid-air, and without any internal energy to lift him, he could no longer control his body. In desperation, he opened his arms and suddenly hugged her, his left hand already reaching for the woman in yellow's waist.

The woman in yellow let out a soft moan. As if a drowning person had grabbed onto something to save them, Chang Kong suddenly pulled her close and caught her.

The woman in the yellow shirt blushed, her body went limp, and she had no strength left to resist.

She was still dressed as a young girl, unmarried. A young woman was embraced by a vigorous young man in the sky, and with the "Arhat Subduing Demons Skill" surging back and forth, her whole body was filled with heat, which was truly breathtaking.

When Chang Kong embraced the woman, it felt as if he were holding a ball of cotton. No wonder there is a saying that one can embrace a soft jade. In addition, a faint fragrance wafted over, which was truly intoxicating.

If this were Yun Changkong from his past life, he would definitely have enjoyed himself first and then stopped. But the current Changkong has super strong willpower. He didn't care about enjoying himself and immediately pressed his hands on the acupoints on the woman's back.

The woman in yellow felt a surge of heat enter her body through her back and along the Du meridian. She cried out in alarm, "Oh no!"

Little did she know that while she was in shock, Chang Kong had already seized the opportunity to seal her acupoints with the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill".

However, since the two were in mid-air, their entanglement caused them to plummet downwards. The woman in yellow was now pinned beneath Chang Kong. Just as they were about to hit the ground, Chang Kong twisted his body, flipping them over. With a thud, Chang Kong landed on his back. Even with his considerable skill, his eyes were filled with stars, but he still held the woman in yellow tightly.
The woman in yellow had her acupoints sealed, and she ended up lying on top of him.

Chang Kong glanced down at the woman's head resting on his chest, then looked up at the stars in the night sky, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, her fragrance as sweet as orchids and as intoxicating as wine. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You unreasonable crazy woman, no matter how high your martial arts are, you still fell into my hands!"

Upon hearing this, the woman in yellow was in a state of utter confusion. She coldly said, "How shameless of you! Let me go!" She secretly circulated her qi to break free of her acupoints.

Chang Kong laughed loudly: "Releasing you is not difficult. Explain yourself. We were talking things out, so why did you hit me?"

The woman raised her head, stared straight at him intently, and said, "You still have the nerve to ask me that?"

Chang Kong was completely baffled, so he simply said, "How am I shameless? I'm a proper man. You're so beautiful, it's true that I have some feelings for you, but that's only human nature. It's not an insult, is it?"

Moreover, before you made your move, I was only thinking about it and hadn't expressed my love for you. It was only because we had a pleasant conversation, and I hadn't called you "little sister" for nothing, and you agreed, that I shamelessly put aside my male pride and asked you for some secrets of internal strength.

Of course, whether you dislike men or don't value my respect, it's up to you whether you say it or not, but what does that have to do with insulting me?

"You just attack me indiscriminately without even knowing what happened. Does that do justice to the admiration and praise I've given you?"

The woman listened silently, then snorted, "Who cares about your praise and compliments? Men's dignity? Humph, let me go!"

Chang Kong said, "It's not difficult for me to let you go, but you mustn't hit me again. I also have my pride."

The woman's eyes were fixed on her, bright as ice, and she said, "You care about your pride, but I don't? Let me tell you, if you want me to let you off the hook, you'll have to kill me."

Chang Kong chuckled twice, looking quite sullen, and said, "Although I am not a gentleman, I know that repaying kindness with enmity is something even beasts would not do!"
If you had really tried to kill me just now, I would have lost several lives. I only gained the upper hand by using thuggish methods, which wasn't much of a skill. If I were to kill you now, that would be utterly inhuman.”

The woman in yellow had no intention of killing him; her actions were partly a punishment and partly a scare. But after hearing what Chang Kong said, she thought, "This kid is too clever. He can read my mind. No wonder I lost to him."

Chang Kong said, "I was just telling the truth, and I hope I wasn't wrong this time!" He pushed the woman off him and released her pressure points.

But as soon as he raised his hand, the woman in yellow flicked her hand and pressed it against Chang Kong's temple.

That's one of the fatal acupoints in the human body. No matter how strong a person's martial arts are, they can never seal the acupoint at the temple. If she exerts her strength, Changkong will surely die. He heard her sneer: "Now guess again, will I kill you or not?"

Chang Kong felt a chill run down his temple and knew danger was imminent. He said, "Guess whether I'll guess or not?"

The woman raised a delicate eyebrow and said, "If you don't guess, I'll kill you!"

Chang Kong laughed loudly and said, "The once mighty Mongke who roamed Eurasia died at the hands of Heroine Yang. How could a mere Yun Chang Kong die at the hands of Heroine Yang? Isn't this the greatest fortune in life? Hurry up and do it!"

"Playing the hero, is that it?" The woman in yellow sneered twice. "You're terrified inside, but you're just pretending not to be. You're still sure I won't kill you, aren't you?"

"Pretending not to be afraid?" Chang Kong laughed and said, "Why don't you go and ask around in the martial arts world? I, Yun Chang Kong, killed the notorious bandit Yin Wushou, who roamed the Yan and Zhao regions, before I was even eleven years old!"

This feat is something that no major martial arts sect has achieved in ten years of fighting against the Eagle Sect!

Tell me, in today's martial arts world, who hasn't heard of my name, Yun Changkong?

It's no exaggeration to say that even though I'm no longer in the game, my reputation lives on!
Furthermore, just as the legendary hero Yang once slew Mongke amidst a thousand troops, the heroine Yang tonight strikes down the sky under the dark and windy night. This is a testament to the brilliance of the past and present, truly a momentous event.

If Yun Changkong were to die, he would not only be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yuan emperor, but he could also meet the great hero Yang in the afterlife and learn martial arts from him. With his chivalrous and righteous demeanor, he would surely be generous in giving guidance to such a valiant junior.

With such a master as his guidance, given my comprehension, Yun Changkong will surely achieve something. Then, I can join Master Yang in slaughtering the Tartar devils in the afterlife. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing for the dead?

Tell me, with my fame spreading throughout the mortal realm and my power roaming the ghost world, what is there to fear in matters of life and death?
