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

Yun Changkong and Lan Fenghuang were evenly matched, and they made love to their hearts' content, with the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed.

As dawn approached, the mountains became more humid, and a hazy mist slowly spread, making one feel as if they were in a dream.

Yun Changkong's face lit up with a long-lost smile. Lan Fenghuang's skin was so smooth and delicate, it felt extremely comfortable to touch, no less than that of Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo and other women. Moreover, her voice was pleasant, and after getting used to her, she became bolder in her play. After several rounds of pleasure, he was truly overjoyed.

Lan Fenghuang was a woman of the martial world and a member of the Miao ethnic group. Although she secretly harbored feelings for Yun Changkong, as the "Leader of the Five Immortals Sect," she had many suitors, including renowned masters. She had always refused them, but unexpectedly, she lost her virginity to Yun Changkong in less than a day. Moreover, she had become infatuated with him, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

For a moment, she wondered if he would look down on her, thinking she was a slut who didn't know how to respect herself.
That kind of anxiety and fear of loss is really hard to explain to outsiders.

Lan Fenghuang was both angry and amused when she thought about it, and she pinched Xiao Changkong hard.

"Oh my!" Yun Changkong was admiring Lan Fenghuang's charm, especially her voice when she called him "brother," which was so alluring that it gave him an extra boost of power. She was truly a rare beauty.

As they were reminiscing, the younger brother was attacked, nearly jumping up in pain. But Yun Changkong wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and said softly, "Phoenix, are you angry with me?"

Seeing him looking at her with such tenderness, Lan Fenghuang's anger vanished. She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid you'll look down on me." Then she buried her face in Yun Changkong's chest.

Yun Changkong lifted her head, looked at her flushed face, kissed her, and said seriously, "Phoenix, as we Han people say, a wife should have 'three qualities.' It means that at home she should be as dignified as a housewife, in public she should be as elegant as a noblewoman, and in bed she should be as seductive as a harlot."

He paused for a moment and then said, "So since men and women are mutually attracted, when they are intimate, they should devour their food and drink it to the fullest, and not be happy until they have enjoyed it to the fullest!"

I had no idea how beautiful you must be to be so shameless!

If, like that Miss Ren, one constantly hides their shyness and timidity in front of their lover, what joy is there in life?

Lan Fenghuang suddenly punched him and said angrily, "Don't compare me to the Holy Maiden. If she knew, she would scold me to death."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "She controls everything, but how could she possibly control your lover? If she dares to scold you, you'll laugh at her in return."

Lan Fenghuang blushed and glanced at him sideways, saying, "Why are you laughing at the Holy Maiden? Are you making her like me too?" Her seductive charm was irresistible.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Then I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it. This woman is ruthless. If she suddenly attacks me, I would die a very unjust death."

Blue Phoenix snorted, "So you're afraid of the Holy Maiden, but not of me?"

Yun Changkong laughed heartily: "There is no one in the world that I am afraid of. What is the Holy Maiden? It's just that I am a righteous person. Otherwise, I would have plenty of ways to control her. What is there to be afraid of?"

Lan Fenghuang frowned, and asked incredulously, "Really?"

Yun Changkong smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?"

Lan Fenghuang asked very seriously, "What methods did you use to control her?"

Yun Changkong couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's dawn. Let's do our work first, and we'll talk about it later."

Lan Fenghuang nodded and said, "Yes, I had forgotten. I have to practice my skills every day."

After saying this, the two got dressed and sat down to meditate and practice their internal energy.

Unexpectedly, when Lan Fenghuang circulated her inner energy according to the cultivation method, she immediately felt a warm current flow into her true energy, causing it to surge and swell.

"How could my internal strength have improved so much?" Lan Fenghuang had no idea why.

In an instant, she felt a tingling, sour, itchy and swollen sensation all over her body. Suddenly, a surge of true energy circulated in her chest and rushed straight to her mouth and nose.

Blue Phoenix couldn't help but let out a long cry, a cry like a phoenix's song, clear and stirring, clearing away the clouds and mist, and causing all the birds in the forest to fly away.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but then Lan Fenghuang felt a bright light before her eyes, and she slowly awoke, as if in a dream.

After a moment of contemplation, I felt a clear and bright state within my body, and my wisdom was lively and ready to leap. Upon closer inspection of the true energy in my meridians, I was momentarily bewildered.

She found that the true energy in her meridians no longer needed to be guided or transformed; it was as natural as breathing.

She had no idea what was going on.

But I know this must be related to Yun Changkong.

I turned my head and looked at the vast sky.

Seeing that he was staring straight at her, Lan Fenghuang asked, "How come my internal energy has suddenly increased so much?"

Seeing her flushed face, which made her even more beautiful and alluring, Yun Changkong was unsure about Lan Fenghuang's condition, so he took her hand to check her pulse.

Lan Fenghuang felt a surge of heat flowing into her pulse, knowing that he was using his true energy to search her meridians. This was an extremely dangerous thing; if they were not careful, both of them would suffer the misfortune of qi deviation. So she dared not speak.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that he had raised his hand but was still lost in thought with his eyes closed, not saying a word, she asked in a sweet voice, "What's wrong?"

Yun Changkong opened his eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Your condition seems to be a harmonious balance of Yin and Yang, a continuous cycle of life..."

"Yin and Yang in harmony, endlessly generating life?" Blue Phoenix exclaimed joyfully, "That's wonderful!"

Yun Changkong shook his head and said, "However, I can't be sure why. Whether it's a blessing or a curse for you is hard to say."

Lan Fenghuang laughed and said, "What misfortune could this be? I think it's a blessing." With that, she turned around and began to sing.

A sense of spring suddenly filled the valley.

Why is it described as the feeling of spring?

Because Lan Fenghuang's voice was soft and gentle, even though Yun Changkong couldn't understand the lyrics, her tone was rich and cloying, almost unlike a song. It sounded like a sigh, a moan, or even more like the sounds of lovers making love, full of joy and unrestrained passion.

At this moment, the mountain was shrouded in mist, and the blue phoenix, half-hidden and half-revealed, appeared even more ethereal and otherworldly.

In addition, Lan Fenghuang's singing voice was gentle and affectionate, and at the turn of the song, her figure flashed and jumped in the clouds.

It should be noted that she was wearing a blue cloth shirt and trousers with white floral prints, and her apron was already brightly colored and resplendent. A colorful belt fluttered around her waist, and she was barefoot. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe Lan Fenghuang's beauty at this moment as "her beauty is like stars in the sky and flowing clouds of gold and silver".

As Yun Changkong watched the beautiful woman sing and dance, he felt as if he were in a dream, and couldn't help but think of the Purple-Robed Dragon King.

After Lan Fenghuang finished singing, Yun Changkong felt completely refreshed and couldn't help but praise, "What a beautiful voice, what a beautiful phoenix! You truly live up to your name. It is a great honor for me to have the pleasure of being with you. I would be even happier if you could call me 'good brother'."

Lan Fenghuang said sweetly, "Brother, my sweetheart!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "My dear sister, you've made my heart ache." He then hugged her tightly and kissed her.

Lan Fenghuang said coquettishly, "Brother Kong, I can't go on, let's do it tomorrow." She sensed Yun Changkong's abnormality again.

Yun Changkong embraced the beautiful woman and kissed her, saying, "Don't worry, I won't come again. I know how to cherish women."

Lan Fenghuang turned her face to look at her lover and said reproachfully, "Now I know why you have so many wives, and I also know why they are no longer alive."

Yun Changkong asked, "What?"

Lan Fenghuang chuckled shyly, "I'm truly impressed by you. I've cultivated internal and external martial arts since I was a child, and even twenty years of my cultivation couldn't withstand you. How could other women? Of course you'll have to marry several wives. And how could they..." She felt that Yun Changkong's wives must have been tortured to death by Yun Changkong in this way.

Yun Changkong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "The way you put it makes it sound like I'm some kind of 'sexual sedition' thief."

Lan Fenghuang didn't want to mention his deceased wives and ruin the atmosphere, so she smiled and said, "My dear brother, I really love you so much. I can't live without you in this life. This thing is so lovable and hateful. It seems like I can never have enough of you."

Hearing this, Yun Changkong hugged her, gave her a deep kiss, and said, "This is the war between men and women, a war that never ends. We fight it today, and we'll fight it again tomorrow. If it weren't for this, do you think any woman could fall in love with a man?"

“That makes sense!” Lan Fenghuang laughed. “It’s almost dawn, let’s head back to the city.”

"it is good!"

So the two of them left the jungle hand in hand and headed towards Luoyang City.

Last night, Yun Changkong was overcome with lust and rushed out, but now he is strolling and chatting with Lan Fenghuang, no longer using his lightness skill.

Lan Fenghuang continued, "My dear brother, you're not even as old as me, yet your inner strength is so profound. One night of pleasure with you felt like years of practice. Not only has your skill improved, but your true power is also particularly strange. What kind of internal energy cultivation method do you practice?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "I practice Shaolin internal energy."

Lan Fenghuang spat, "Those bald monks are indeed quite skilled. So you're a lay disciple of Shaolin?"

Yun Changkong shook his head and said, "That's not it."

Blue Phoenix was overjoyed: "I thought you were from some prestigious sect, this is even better."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Phoenix, whether the changes in your body are a blessing or a curse is hard to know now..." He didn't understand. He had only slept with Lan Fenghuang once, so how could her internal strength have improved so much? This puzzled him greatly.

Blue Phoenix interrupted, "Hey, can you stop spouting such discouraging things? What misfortune? I think it's a blessing. I'm not feeling unwell at all. My master said that once I become the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, I can never get married. I think she's just talking nonsense."

Yun Changkong asked in astonishment, "Your master said you can't get married?"

Lan Fenghuang casually said, "Yes, there are many people who like me, but I never thought about getting married. But I fell for you."

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "I understand."

Blue Phoenix turned her head and asked, "What do you understand?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "It's fortunate that it's me. If someone else had married you, they would have died even without you using those poisonous insects to bite them."

It's important to know that Lan Fenghuang had been exposed to poisons since childhood, and toxins lurked within her body. When she and Yun Changkong engaged in marital relations, their essences merged, and the toxins also entered Yun Changkong's body. However, the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" is a culmination of all Buddhist internal martial arts, hence its reputation as the most exquisite internal skill of Shaolin Temple, especially adept at resolving yin and yang imbalances.

Therefore, when Lan Fenghuang's essence and energy were connected with Yun Changkong's, as soon as she entered his body, Yun Changkong's "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" naturally started to operate. The yin poison in Lan Fenghuang's essence and energy, when it encountered Yun Changkong's "Arhat Subduing Demon True Qi," was like entering the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Furnace. Under its operation, it refined Lan Fenghuang's yin poison power, which circulated within his own body and then returned to Lan Fenghuang's body. When she practiced the skill according to the mental method, she was essentially "refining essence into qi," and naturally her skill improved.

Therefore, Yun Changkong said that if any other man had been intimate with Lan Fenghuang, he would have been poisoned to death long ago, and would not have understood why!
This is actually the principle of the cycle of nature.

Therefore, the "Arhat Subduing Demons Skill" lacks the cultivation method of the Chong and Dai meridians, simply because everyone has desires, and the desire between men and women is even more innate.

This divine skill is too powerful. Back then, the Shaolin monk wrapped the original cultivation method in clay figurines, undoubtedly because he feared that others would fail to cultivate it, go astray, and harm the cultivators' lives.

It is also to prevent someone from accidentally cultivating the skill and then using it to cause harm.

However, he could not have foreseen that someone like Yun Changkong would emerge among his disciples in later generations, mastering the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" in one fell swoop, and his attainments in the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill far surpassed those of Shi Potian in later generations.

It was only because Shi Potian practiced the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill in a daze that he spent three days getting his internal energy, cultivated over five years with the "Blazing Flame Skill," back on track and reaching a minor level of mastery. After that, he practiced the internal energy on the stone wall of Xia Ke Island, which finally opened up all the meridians in his body. He only used the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill and never thought about exploring the origin of martial arts.

In contrast, Yun Changkong had been practicing the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" for over ten years, studying Buddhist scriptures, and his understanding of the skill's essence was constantly evolving. Therefore, upon hearing Lan Fenghuang's statement that she wouldn't marry, he understood the reason behind it.

Upon hearing this, Lan Fenghuang asked in bewilderment, "If that's the case, why didn't my master just tell me directly?"

Yun Changkong smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps she herself doesn't know, or perhaps she's afraid that if she explains it to you clearly, you won't be willing to inherit his mantle and will instead choose to find a lover?"

Lan Fenghuang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, all Miao women look for their sweethearts, and she really trusted me. But I still disappointed her."

The two chatted and laughed all the way into Luoyang City. After returning to the inn, they had breakfast and rested until noon.

Lan Fenghuang said, "You and I will find the Holy Maiden together and explain things to her."

Yun Changkong said, "Why should we talk to her about our business? I don't want to see her sour face."

Lan Fenghuang laughed and said, "Why are you so petty?"

Yun Changkong said, "This isn't about being petty. Last night, when I asked her for tea and food, I was giving her a chance to befriend me. She didn't cherish it and even argued with me, so our relationship is over. It's better if we don't associate with each other anymore. There are many fun places near Luoyang; come with me to explore!"

He then pulled Lan Fenghuang up and was about to leave.

Lan Fenghuang said, "I'm not going. I want to rest for a day."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Alright, I'll go with you!"

"No!" Lan Fenghuang said, her face flushed. "If you're by my side, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist thinking about going to find the Holy Maiden."

Seeing her like this, Yun Changkong knew that she was determined to drag him to find the Holy Maiden. He had just slept with her, so he couldn't go against her wishes. He said, "Fine, let's go find the Holy Maiden. But if she doesn't give me face and acts arrogantly, I'll leave. Don't say I didn't give you face."

"You're so kind!" Lan Fenghuang immediately kissed him on the cheek.

So the two of them left the inn hand in hand and headed towards Green Bamboo Lane.

On the way, Lan Fenghuang said, "I have something to tell you. You're not allowed to laugh like that anymore."

Yun Changkong laughed and asked, "What kind of laugh?"

Lan Fenghuang said, "You don't know, the moment I saw your smile last night, I knew immediately: I either kill you or fall in love with you. I bewitched you, and although I hesitated for a while, I couldn't bear to kill you, so the only option was to fall in love with you."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "So you kissed me!"

Lan Fenghuang laughed and said, "So you're not allowed to smile like that at other women in the future, otherwise how many women will be infatuated with you? I don't want to kill anyone!"

Yun Changkong said, "Then I'll do it like this, is that alright?"

As she spoke, she adopted a stern and imposing demeanor. Lan Fenghuang was taken aback and said, "This won't work either. I'm a little scared!"

“Then let’s do this!” Yun Changkong said, his expression focused and his eyes alertly watching the surrounding movements.

Lan Fenghuang shook her head and said, "That's not good either. A serious man is the most attractive."

Yun Changkong laughed heartily, expressing his joy at seeing the Buddha's image, and so on.

Lan Fenghuang never expected that Yun Changkong could have so many faces, some with a dignified and solemn demeanor that revealed an elegant and unrestrained spirit, others with a solemn and dignified countenance that exuded a mysterious power.

Even when he just smiles, his eyes seem to hold endless wisdom and compassion, inspiring awe in everyone.

Or perhaps it conveys a sense of composure born of experience. Or perhaps it suggests unwavering resolve and courage, as if always ready to fight against evil forces.

Lan Fenghuang watched with astonishment and said, "I believe you now that you don't lie to women. Which woman can escape your grasp?"

Yun Changkong laughed heartily, his face dignified, and said, "It's not that exaggerated. There are women who don't fall for my tricks, like your good friend who hates me to death."

Lan Fenghuang shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case. The Holy Maiden may not only hate you." Then she widened her eyes and said, "No matter what, you are not allowed to smile at other women in the future, especially when you look at her and smile. If you don't listen, I will poison her to death, and I won't let you know. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve!"

"Haha..." Yun Changkong laughed heartily.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked through the streets and alleys. Just as they came out of one alley, they heard shouting, cursing, and the sounds of punches and kicks coming from the street to their right.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw five or six people on the street holding down a person and punching and kicking him.

One of them yelled, "You brat, you dare hit someone? I'll break your leg today, you're not going home!"

People nearby moved aside, clearly recognizing these men as thugs who were bullying people.

Yun Changkong was about to speak up to stop them when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the street. He turned around and saw six strong horses carrying several young men and women walking over. One of them, holding a whip, shouted, "Make way! Make way!"

Yun Changkong was startled when he saw the people on horseback, and thought to himself, "It's them!"

Lan Fenghuang saw that the group was dressed in gorgeous clothes and each carried a long sword. The leader was a beautiful young woman. Then she saw Yun Changkong staring at her and snorted, "Is she beautiful?"

Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "Not as beautiful as you!"

Blue Phoenix snorted.

Upon hearing the sound of horses' hooves and seeing the extraordinary figures of the newcomers, the group of scoundrels stopped and scattered in all directions.

The beaten man was left in the street. He tried to get up, but couldn't.

But then a girl exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, isn't this Senior Brother?" This girl was none other than Yue Lingshan, whom Yun Changkong had met before.

Beside her was Lin Pingzhi, who immediately said, "Let me see!" He dismounted, turned the beaten man around, and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother, what happened to you?"

Yun Changkong then realized that the person who had been beaten was indeed Linghu Chong.

But now Linghu Chong was covered in mud, and his clothes were covered in dried mud stains, as if he hadn't washed for a long time. His head and eye sockets were bruised and swollen, his lips were cracked, and his nostrils were bleeding. He was as disheveled as could be.

Linghu Chong opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Pingzhi, then said with a wry smile, "It's nothing, I had a few drinks and gambled for a while, and lost it all!"

In Yun Changkong's impression, Linghu Chong was extremely dashing. He grew up with a beautiful junior sister, and his childhood sweetheart was a beautiful nun. He had a deep affection for her, and when he met an expert, he learned the "Dugu Nine Swords" that is unique in ancient and modern times. But he never expected that a high-ranking disciple from a famous family would fall into such a low state, and be beaten up by a local ruffian, and even be seen by his own "White Moonlight".

He knew that no matter how miserable a man was, it wasn't the worst thing.

Only when one is embarrassed in front of the person they love, can one become disheartened and reach despair.

Yun Changkong didn't believe that Linghu Chong couldn't beat a few thugs!
But when Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi became a couple, his heart died, and that's when he gave up on himself.

This aroused Yun Changkong's pity, and he saw Lin Pingzhi help Linghu Chong up and lift him onto the horse.

As the group was about to leave, a clear voice called out, "Miss Yue, we meet again!"

Upon hearing the voice, Yue Lingshan trembled involuntarily. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw it was Yun Changkong. She hurriedly jumped off her horse, bowed, and said, "It's Young Master Yun!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Young Master is fine, why call me 'big'?"

Yue Lingshan blushed, somewhat at a loss for words.

Originally, Yue Lingshan, as a witness to Yun Changkong's formidable power, wanted to call him "Hero Yun," but remembering her father's words that Yun Changkong was unable to distinguish right from wrong and was not a true hero, she could only call him "Young Master."

Yun Changkong glanced at the group and said, "Miss Yue, it's fate that we've met. How about you accompany me on a tour of Luoyang?"

But then a man said in a harsh voice, "Boy, how dare you talk to Miss Yue like this..." Before he could finish speaking, Lin Pingzhi said, "Cousin, he is Yun Changkong!"

Upon hearing the name Yun Changkong, the men and women on horseback were all startled and jumped off their horses. The thugs were even more terrified and ran away as fast as they could.

As local bullies, how could they not know that a man named Yun Changkong had challenged the leader of the Songshan Sect last night?

If you want to make a living in Henan, you can't survive without knowing the Songshan Sect; you'll die without even knowing why!
So they knew that this master could kill them as easily as crushing bedbugs, and the government wouldn't even pursue the matter.

Upon hearing Yun Changkong's words, Lan Fenghuang said with a mixture of reproach and amusement, "Young lady, whether she is your lover or not, you'd better explain yourself clearly."

Hearing her enchanting voice, many men felt their bones go numb, and even the women blushed.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "This is not my lover, she is the daughter of the Huashan Sect Leader."

"Oh, she's Yue Buqun's daughter!" Lan Fenghuang said casually. "I heard his wife is quite skilled with her sword. Where is she? Let me meet her!" (End of Chapter)
