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

Chapter 71 Buddha Saves Those with Destiny

Seeing Yun Changkong's fearless and dignified expression, the Purple-Robed Dragon King's delicate eyebrows twitched, and a trace of pain appeared on her face. However, the memories from before resurfaced, and she couldn't help but blush and angrily said, "Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Yun Changkong possessed Buddhist supernatural powers and couldn't sense her killing intent towards him at all; this was just a show of bravado masking weakness.

Having died here as a child, he was even more imposing and righteous, saying, "To die under the peony is to die a romantic death! What am I afraid of!" As he spoke, he had already embraced the Purple-Robed Dragon King.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King was both ashamed and furious. He unleashed both palms, striking and cursing at the same time: "You shameless bastard, I'll kill you! Let me go, let me go!"

But she didn't use much force, and Yun Changkong let her hit him, laughing as he said, "I won't let go. My years of painstakingly cultivated purity will be ruined by you."

But I'm so confused. I have no idea what the pleasure between a man and a woman is like. You should make it up to me! As she spoke, she kissed the Purple-Robed Dragon King's earlobe.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King let out a soft moan, turning his hands to support himself, but his mind was filled with the vivid image of last night. Desire had already been aroused, his body was as soft as cotton, and his soul was intoxicated. His red lips, however, would not obey his will, and the two embraced and kissed, leaning against each other.

It is known that the Purple-Robed Dragon King and Han Qianye fell in love in the past because they fought in the cold pool of the clear water. Their skin touched in the water, and they couldn't help themselves. Later, they comforted each other on their sickbeds, but it eventually became a tragic love affair.

But after their meeting with Yun Changkong last night, the two healed and rescued each other, their emotions shifting like ice and fire, from pain to joy. Their bodies and minds were in a state of peace and tranquility they had never experienced before, as if their souls were detached from their bodies. The wonder of that feeling was something no third person could comprehend.

Especially now that Granny Jin Hua's chill has been drawn out of her body, leaving only joy and contentment, it would be even easier for her to kill Yun Changkong if she truly wanted to. In a state of mutual interdependence, it would be far easier for her.

But she didn't!

I just can't bring myself to do it!

After regaining her senses, her feelings for Han Qianye resurfaced, and the joy Yun Changkong had brought her swirled in her mind, which led to her anger towards Yun Changkong!

Although Yun Changkong was also confused, feeling that the Purple-Robed Dragon King seemed to have become a different person, he was helpless because his Zen skills had been broken and he had tasted the wonderful flavor of a beautiful woman. It was like drinking fine wine. Early in the morning, his desire was even more intense. He truly did not know what death was!
Moreover, Yun Changkong was not afraid of death at heart; otherwise, he would have died long ago and would not have had the chance to escape danger!
Most importantly, he was absolutely certain that the Purple-Robed Dragon King would not harm him; he had that strong mental conviction, which is why he mounted his horse again!

Even the Purple-Robed Dragon King was somewhat puzzled as to why he didn't resist fiercely, but this indescribable pleasure was truly difficult to understand.

Little do people realize that the desire for beauty and attraction to young women, and the attraction between men and women, are universal human traits. Even those who practice Buddhism and Taoism are not exempt; some schools rely on precepts and discipline, while others rely on guidance and instruction.

That's why Taoism has the practice of dual cultivation, and Buddhism's Tantric sect has the practice of "joyful meditation." However, because the teachings are not passed down to the right people, those who are only interested in sexual pleasures, or those who practice "yin-yang replenishment" or "yang-yin replenishment," have become infamous and despised.

Yun Changkong's "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" is the culmination of all Buddhist internal martial arts, the most exquisite internal martial art of Shaolin. The creator of this skill knew that only those of great wisdom and intelligence could practice it. Otherwise, they would be unable to control themselves and would be disturbed by the seven emotions, six desires, and three poisons, making cultivation useless and even harmful. Therefore, he dared not pass it on lightly.

This is because the true energy cultivated by this divine skill not only contains the power of compassion, but its healing ability is unparalleled.

Therefore, the two were perfectly in sync, their yin and yang in harmony, their dragon and tiger in perfect balance, their water and fire complementing each other. Not only did they cure the Purple-Robed Dragon King's chronic illness that had plagued him for many years, but they also allowed Yun Changkong to replenish her severely depleted true energy. Furthermore, they allowed her to enter a state of emptiness and tranquility, free from thoughts and dreams, where she was oblivious to herself and the world around her.

That's why she felt no hostility towards Yun Changkong.

In fact, let alone a woman like the Purple-Robed Dragon King, even Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo in the past were more powerful, strong-willed, and despicable than her. After being baptized by the Sweeper Monk's Shaolin divine skills, the two of them used yin to help yang and yang to transform yin, and they both laughed away their grudges and forgot everything in the world.

Not to mention the intense and in-depth discussion between Yun Changkong and the Purple-Robed Dragon King. Buddhism has the concept of the six senses, and Buddhism also has the six supernatural powers.

Yun Changkong's feelings for the Purple-Robed Dragon King were not only physical but also spiritual. It was no exaggeration to say that he revered him as a god!
If it were anyone else, they would die when their soul departs for the heavens!
Where would we be now?
After a long while, both of them felt relaxed and satisfied. Suddenly, the Purple-Robed Dragon King, filled with anger and resentment, bit down hard on Yun Changkong's injured left chest.

Internal injuries are easy to treat, but external injuries are not. Yun Changkong shrank back in pain and leaped more than ten feet into the air.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King cursed, "You have no shame! How am I supposed to face anyone after this?"

Yun Changkong landed lightly and laughed, "You never used this face to show your face to anyone. The one I spent a night with was the Purple-Robed Dragon King, not some Golden Flower Granny!"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King blushed, raised his fist, and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death!"

Chang Kong laughed and said, "To be honest, that 'Purple-Robed Dragon King' was a notorious villain in the martial arts world decades ago. How could he be as young as you? I, Yun Chang Kong, am truly blessed with good fortune!"
For some reason, I feel incredibly relaxed right now, and my internal energy is much more at my fingertips. How about you?

He didn't know why, but as he circulated his qi, he felt a cool breeze slowly seep into his dantian through his meridians. The cool breeze flowed down his meridians like a thin stream, while the heat in his dantian surged, forcing the stream back into his meridians. He felt his mind become clear and bright, and every pore on his body felt open and comfortable. His limbs felt incredibly light and agile.

Little did he know that the cold essence formed over ten thousand years in the icy pool had eroded the Dragon King, and he had taken it for himself, thus merging yin and yang and greatly increasing his power.

The so-called loss of his virginity simply means that the power of some of the martial arts he learned has been greatly reduced, but his internal strength has been enhanced!
What Yun Changkong was even less aware of was that this experience allowed him to vent the anger that had been burning in his heart, and his skill naturally improved once again.

It's often said that the best medicine to calm men down and relieve them from emotional agitation, irritability, or anxiety is a woman! Especially a beautiful woman!
Yun Changkong lost control of his seven emotions and six desires, becoming oblivious to his feelings and nature. There were very few people who could help him and wanted to control him.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King had cultivated for many years and possessed profound inner strength. He also had a cold, yin energy that complemented his own, which was why he was able to pull the dragon back from the brink of demonic possession.

Any other woman would have been burned to death by his pure yang energy. Besides the Purple-Robed Dragon King, probably only the Yellow-Robed Woman could withstand Yun Changkong's madness and loss of sanity.

After this ordeal, Yun Changkong's heart was no longer filled with such fierce energy. This was in line with the "Arhat Subduing Demons" mantra. He not only subdued the demon in his heart, but also subdued the proud dragon, the Purple-Robed Dragon King!
The Purple-Robed Dragon King already possessed a strong foundation in internal energy. At this moment, he felt a warm energy rising from his dantian, flowing through all eight extraordinary meridians, passing through the thirty-six gates, and ascending to the twelve collaterals. This cycle repeated itself for two weeks, and he felt his entire body's meridians were smooth and his true energy abundant, as if his body contained boundless potential.

All around was utter silence, as if heaven and earth had stood still; it was as if one were in the mountains, with the wind blowing and a calm lake in front of one's eyes, without the slightest ripple.

The heat that Yun Changkong sent into her body had now merged into her own true energy and reached every part of her body. She knew that with her current level of internal energy cultivation, there were only a handful of people in the martial arts world who could surpass her!

Suddenly, the Purple-Robed Dragon King smiled slightly and said, "I think the internal energy you practice is similar to the Shaolin Temple's 'Pure Yang Arhat Skill,' but no one else would have this level of cultivation. What is the reason for this?"

The "Pure Yang Arhat Skill" is a unique technique of the Shaolin Temple. Practitioners must be virgins, and without over forty years of rigorous training, it's difficult to reach its highest level. Unless one is a highly accomplished monk who has renounced worldly life for decades, few can remain virgins even in old age without indulging in sexual relations. She couldn't imagine that a young man like Yun Changkong possessed such skill.

Chang Kong didn't hide anything, saying, "This is the Arhat Subduing Demon Skill, a culmination of Buddhist divine skills, and the number one divine skill of Shaolin. It's probably somewhat similar to this Arhat Pure Yang Skill!"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King jumped up, angrily saying, "How could the prestigious Shaolin Temple resort to such sinister and evil arts? If this gets out, won't it discourage the heroes of the world?"

She understood that this encounter meant they would never be separated again; nothing, except death, could stand between them. And all of this was not her fault, but rather a gift from the divine skill Chang Kong had learned.

Yun Changkong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" Instantly, his mind cleared, and all his doubts were instantly resolved. No wonder the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" doesn't involve the Chong and Dai meridians, which are related to physiology; it's practically a divine tool for salvation! He said, "Haven't you heard that Buddha saves those with affinity?"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King spat and said, "If the Shaolin monks knew you said that, they would definitely kill you!"

Seeing her slight anger and charm, Chang Kong was completely captivated and thought to himself, "I'm doomed. How could I be so bewitched by her beauty? Where is my self-control?" He was lost in thought, but his face was flushed as if he had just drunk fine wine.

Seeing him like this, the Purple-Robed Dragon King's heart fluttered. He knew that the man was captivated by his beauty, and he felt a sweet pleasure in his heart. However, he still pretended to be angry and said, "You're still looking!"

Chang Kong laughed and said, "What man could ever get enough of looking at Madam's body?"

The purple-robed King's face darkened: "Whom are you calling 'Madam'?"

Chang Kong said, "If I don't call you Madam, what should I call you? I can't exactly call you Mother-in-law when I see your face, can I?"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King blushed, turned his head to the side, and said, "My name is Dai Qisi, you can just call me by my name."

Chang Kong laughed and said, "That's too formal. I'll just call you 'sister' instead."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King roared, "How dare you call me that? I...I..." and suddenly reached out to hit him.

Suddenly, a soft "whimper" was heard, and Yin Li let out a groan.

Yun Changkong exclaimed in surprise, "Get dressed!"

The Dragon King turned around quickly and moved like lightning, slapping Yin Li and knocking her unconscious.

Yun Changkong took out shoes, socks, underwear, shirt, scholar's robe, and handkerchief from his bag, and handed a set to the Dragon King, saying, "Look at you, you're so busy having fun with me, why don't you hurry up and put your clothes on? If someone sees such a beautiful woman, wouldn't I be at a great disadvantage?"

His words made the Dragon King both embarrassed and amused, but he cursed, "You shameless bastard!"

If she were to be seen naked, the only option would be to kill her to silence her.

The Dragon King, still dressed, said, "Look at Ali, she's badly injured."

Yun Changkong immediately stepped forward to take Yin Li's pulse, placed his palm on her back and lower abdomen, and channeled his true energy into her.

After a while, Yin Li suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

Chang Kong said, "Her internal organs were injured, but she's out of danger!"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King had already dressed and said, "Don't ever appear in front of me again." Then he went to hug Yin Li.

Chang Kong said, "What kind of talk is that?"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King sneered, "Fine, I'll see you then, but I'll definitely kill you next time!"

Chang Kong laughed and said, "If it were before last night, I would have believed you! But after last night, I know you were just joking with me." The Purple-Robed Dragon King's face turned bright red.

Chang Kong sighed and said, "I can sense whether others have murderous intent towards me, without exception. And you can probably sense my thoughts as well."

She paused and said, "Sister, your beauty is beyond compare, but I know that your beauty has overshadowed your wisdom. You should understand that the human heart is more treacherous than mountains and rivers, but sometimes it can also be seen through at a glance. That is why there are those who become old friends at first sight, and those who remain strangers even after growing old together."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King blushed, tears welling up in her eyes. She said angrily, "It's all your fault for practicing this evil skill..." As she said this, she felt that what happened last night was also something she had done on her own initiative to seek benefits, otherwise she wouldn't have done it this way.

But thinking of her husband and daughter, she felt a surge of bitterness and resentment.

Yun Changkong sighed, "Why are you crying? We only had one night of pleasure..."

The Dragon King interrupted, "What do you mean, 'one night of pleasure'!"

Chang Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, then let it be a one-night favor. Whether it's a small ripple on our life's journey or an unforgettable interlude is up to us."

But you should understand that it is said that true friends are hard to find, and it often takes several generations to find a pair of true friends who cherish each other.

Between us, there is no romantic love, but rather a partnership of like-minded cultivation on the path of martial arts. It is a match made in heaven, a tremendous destiny. Perhaps I came into this world for you!

The Purple-Robed Dragon King said menacingly, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will cut out your tongue."

She knew Yun Changkong was right; her relationship with Han Qianye was a conventional, worldly love, based on physical attraction and affection. It was a completely different matter from Yun Changkong's.

One moment his love for Han Qianye took over, the next he was filled with the satisfaction Yun Changkong brought him. The two emotions were intertwined, and tears streamed down the Purple-Robed Dragon King's face.

Chang Kong sighed: "Sister, it's not unacceptable that you would abandon your mission for Brother Han and even fall into depravity for me. Just follow your heart."

There's really no need to keep talking about life and death, fighting and killing. Such violence can't hide your weakness and powerlessness." With that, he slung the cloth bag over his body and walked out of the cave.

"I understand what you mean, yet I'm also confused," the Dragon King sighed. "However, most things in this world don't go as planned, so I do understand your thoughts somewhat now. Are you my kindred spirit?"

Yun Changkong stopped and turned around, his eyes fixed on him with a look of great concern. He said, "I haven't yet mastered the supernatural power of telepathy, so I dare not say that I know everything you're thinking. But I know that you are suffering greatly, and it's not just because of Brother Han's death!"

The Dragon King trembled. This was the voice she had longed for, yet she also wanted to resist it.

Seeing the gentle look in Chang Kong's eyes, a surge of warmth welled up from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but say, "Do you really know how I've suffered?"

Chang Kong sighed softly, "If you weren't forced into this situation, why would you hide your stunning beauty? A young woman simply loves a man, but that man embarrasses them and takes away the beauty they long for. If you can't have him, everyone opposes you, making it impossible for you to stand on your own two feet. How can you not be miserable?"

The Purple-Robed Dragon King's eyes were blurred with tears, overwhelmed with sorrow.

Although she acted eccentrically, she harbored unspeakable suffering. She was a holy maiden of the Persian sect, ordered to steal the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" manual, but her affair with Han Qianye led to her being forced to leave the sect.

But she had been evading the pursuit of the Persian leaders, disguising herself as an old woman and even placing her daughter, Xiao Zhao, in the care of other families, only daring to visit her once every year or two. She was terrified that one day the Persian leaders would find her, burning her not only alive but also her illegitimate daughter!

She coveted Xie Xun's Dragon-Slaying Saber, intending to use it against Yang Xiao and Fan Yao, and to steal the martial arts manual from Bright Peak in order to avert this calamity.

Hearing Yun Changkong's words, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if he had figured things out, and burst out laughing.

Her smile revealed a face of unparalleled beauty, radiant white, adorned with a few glistening tears, like a peony blooming in the rain. Her beauty was beyond compare, even the finest jade and pearls could not match her splendor, and the first hint of a rose could not capture her pure elegance.

Yun Changkong let out a long sigh, put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, please don't go out in public like this again, and don't smile!"

The Dragon King snorted and said, "He chants Buddhist scriptures but does nothing of Buddhist practice!"

Chang Kong said sternly and logically, "Don't you also chant Amitabha Buddha's name? Yet you kill without blinking an eye. Besides, as long as it makes you laugh, I don't care whether it's chanting Amitabha Buddha's name or the name of the Buddha of Infinite Life!"
The Purple-Robed Dragon King couldn't help but chuckle, "With that mouth of yours, I wonder how many girls have fallen for you!" His eyebrows and eyes were full of laughter.

Chang Kong laughed and said, "Do you think every woman deserves to be teased like this by me?"

The Dragon King spat and said, "Where do you intend to go?"

Chang Kong said, "I'm going to Wudang Mountain."

Suddenly, they heard the sound of light, quick footsteps in the distance, which must have belonged to a master of light-footed martial arts.

The Dragon King's face turned cold as he said, "This belongs to the Huashan Sect!" Suddenly, he stepped forward, his body transforming into a blue shadow as he rushed out of the cave.

Yun Changkong was slightly taken aback, then secretly praised, "What excellent lightness skill!"

Then a scream of agony was heard.

As he stepped out of the cave, he saw that Xianyu Tong's sternum had collapsed, clearly indicating that he had been killed by the Purple-Robed Dragon King.

Yun Changkong originally wanted to torture this scoundrel to death, but then he remembered that Xianyu Tong must have overheard his affair with the Purple-Robed Dragon King outside the cave.

It was only because she was poisoned and her muscles and bones were weak, and her acupoints were pressed to make her mute, that she was unable to speak. But if she were to meet people, she would surely spread the word, and how could the Dragon King let her go?

Just as he was pondering this, he heard several screams. He jumped onto a big tree with a graceful and elegant leap. The leaves trembled slightly as he landed, like bees and butterflies landing on the heart of a flower, while the branches did not move at all.

Yun Changkong was astonished that his lightness skill had reached such a level. He saw the Purple-Robed Dragon King in the distance flash left and right and knock down seven or eight people. His technique was incredibly fast and strange.

Those people, dressed in the attire of Huashan Sect disciples, were struck down without even getting a chance to retaliate.

Yun Changkong realized that Xianyu Tong's disciples on the outskirts must have waited all night for their sect leader before coming over, only to be slaughtered.

After dealing with the people, the Purple-Robed Dragon King came to Yun Changkong and said, "I killed these people. In the future, trouble may fall on you. Just say that it was Granny Golden Flower who did it!"

Chang Kong laughed heartily and said, "I, Yun, may not have any other skills, but I am indifferent to life and death and have some understanding of life and death. No matter what dangers we encounter, I will take them on myself. It's just that I'm new to you, Sister, and I'm envious of you, so I'm troubling you to do it yourself. How could I possibly push the matter onto you!"

If it were me, I would have killed him too!

This is what happens when you're in the world of martial arts; you're not in control of your own destiny!

Because you punished their sect leader, the entire sect lost face, so how could they not seek revenge?

As for your claim that the other party did something despicable, that has never been a reason or excuse for you to kill someone without paying the price!

This is why the hatred in the martial arts world will continue indefinitely!

It's not that anyone who commits numerous evils deserves to die!
It all depends on whether the person seeking revenge for him has the ability!

The Purple-Robed Dragon King stared intently at Yun Changkong. She truly admired Yun Changkong's courage, or rather, his boldness!
Because the Dragon King knew many things, and Chang Kong could have pleaded tactfully, but he was unwilling, or rather, disdained it!
You think it's impossible? I'll do it anyway!

This fearless and heroic spirit is no different from that of Han Qianye back then. Especially when the Dragon King hears it, he feels that it is sincere and touching.

This made the Purple-Robed Dragon King feel that Chang Kong possessed an indescribable charm that was captivating, and he couldn't help but think, "Could this young man have been born for me? Perhaps he really is the one who will save me?"

Upon thinking this, the Purple-Robed Dragon King felt a chill run down his spine and said, "Don't look for me again. I need to think this over carefully!"

Yun Changkong slowly said, "The fallen flowers are willing to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water is heartless and does not love the fallen flowers. I will not pretend to be infatuated. You should know that things happen naturally and there is no regret afterward. That is also good!"

"Alas..." The Purple-Robed Dragon King let out a long, melancholy sigh. In the midst of the sigh, he glanced at the sky and vanished in a flash.

Chang Kong leaped forward, running south for over ten miles without stopping, until he reached a hilltop. Suddenly, he saw a waterfall cascading down a high cliff, like an extremely long white ribbon swaying in the sky. The water crashed against the rocks, splashing up countless droplets.

Chang Kong felt a great sense of joy, took off his clothes, and jumped into the pool. The coolness seeped into his skin, making him feel incredibly refreshed.

He took the dirty clothes, washed them briefly, and laid them flat on the shore. Exhausted, he lay down on the water, letting the gentle breeze caress him. He felt extremely comfortable and muttered to himself, "Damn it, I originally wanted to sleep with the beauty in yellow and do what others couldn't, but I ended up becoming Xiao Zhao's unfaithful father!"

He then gave a bewildered smile and said, "I've done something that most people can't!"

Yun Changkong's relationship with the Purple-Robed Dragon King was simply described as "fateful." He didn't seem to care about whether there was a future for them.

A real man is incomplete without a fleeting romance.

Just then, they heard the faint sound of weapons clashing in the distance.

　Thank you to the readers who finally had time to give me a reward.
