Chapter 103: Zhou Tianming Trapped, Dog Bites Mouth

Ten li outside Heavenly Dao Peak, it was still the bank of that small stream.

A disheveled-looking youth quietly crept to this place.

His hair was like a tangled heap of grass swept by a wild wind, wildly knotted and tangled, strands hanging down before his eyes, almost covering half his face.

His face was covered with traces of mixed dust and blood, with dried blood clots congealed on his cheeks and the corners of his mouth.

Everyone, no need to guess.

This person is none other than the disciple Zhou Tianming, who has escaped multiple times.

After being relentlessly pursued by Lin Yang last time, he, in anger, used several dozen teleportation talismans and fled at least several thousand li.

Due to overuse of the teleportation talismans, he simply fainted, remaining unconscious for a full three days and three nights.

Now, in order to obtain that Chaos Heaven Pearl,

He crossed mountains and rivers all the way, and finally managed to reach this place again.

Gazing at the scene before him.

Still that same mountain.

Still that same river.

Still this same youth.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"That guy who chased me last time probably never imagined, even if he racked his brains, that I would return here again."

"Today, no matter what, I must get the Chaos Heaven Pearl."

Zhou Tianming, unable to restrain himself, shouted lofty ambitions; his excited state almost made him faint from sheer thrill.

Failure means becoming benevolent.

This time, only success is allowed; failure is not permitted.

Zhou Tianming extended his senses outward.

He detected no approaching danger.

He smirked inwardly.

It seems.

This time, that guy will definitely not notice my arrival.

Immediately.

His courage also grew a bit.

He walked to the edge of the small stream, preparing to drink a few mouthfuls of mountain spring water.

After all.

His journey here has truly not been easy.

A mighty emperor in full dignity.

Just because he was reborn, he lives in such a miserable state.

Immediately.

He lay down.

Puckering his lips, he prepared to suck the spring water from the small stream.

But he saw.

Within the flowing spring water, a dog's silhouette actually appeared.

Indeed.

It was a large black dog, baring its ferocious fangs.

Zhou Tianming froze.

In his mind, he immediately formed a judgment.

Someone had set a trap here.

Before he could react,

"Woof!"

The big black dog placed in the water sprang up instantly and bit his mouth.

"Damn!"

Zhou Tianming shouted angrily, never expecting someone to be so despicable as to set a trap here.

Moreover, the big black dog formed of spiritual power kept biting his mouth and would not let go.

He was just about to strike off the big black dog biting his mouth.

But before he could act,

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Five vines formed of spiritual power shot up from the earth with lightning speed, instantly binding Zhou Tianming's limbs and even a toothpick—

leaving him utterly unable to move.

Zhou Tianming's buttocks clenched, his eyes widened in terror, and his throat continuously emitted indistinct "uh-uh" sounds.

He tried to question who had set this trap, but because the black dog clung tightly to his mouth he could not speak.

Moreover.

That black dog, like a mad dog, kept biting his mouth and tearing at it.

Had he not been thick-skinned and fleshly, he would surely have had a chunk of lip flesh torn away.

His mind raced, realizing that begging for mercy was his only recourse now; the fear in his eyes instantly turned to pleading.

He struggled to calm himself, whimpering as he pleaded: "Please, whoever you are, let me go; I have no grudge against you, there must be some misunderstanding between us."

But no one responded to him.

He desperately twisted his body, trying to show his sincerity, and slowly said: "Sir, I know you came for me; we can talk things out—can you first let this big black dog release my mouth?"

Zhou Tianming said with a pained expression.

And in the sky.

Lin Yang indeed watched this scene with a calm expression.

He cursed in his heart.

"Damn you, immortal—I chased you twice and still couldn't tell if you're male or female; today you've finally fallen into my hands, huh."

"If I don't give you a lesson, I'm not your future master."

Lin Yang had no intention of stopping.

Li Yilan beside him could only bitterly smile.

Regarding this disciple who kept fleeing.

She had also heard her master talk about this matter in private.

She couldn't understand; her master was such a good person.

Why was he running?

Now, he had been caught by his master's trap.

His mouth was bitten by the big black dog.

Even his toothpick was tied up.

Now then.

He's behaving himself now, right?

He can't run away, right?

———————————

Seeing still no response, Zhou Tianming shouted in pain.

"Person who set the trap, I know you're nearby."

"Please spare me this once; I know I was wrong."

"Please, great one, don't hold a villain's faults against me; spare me this once."

"I'm willing to give everything, as long as you spare my life—please!"

Upon hearing these words.

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, saying he was willing to give everything.

Immediately.

He looked at Li Yilan.

Li Yilan, being tactful, nodded and said to Lin Yang: "Master, you intend to let him go, right?"

"I'll go untie him right away."

After all, the master said this person is fated with him; no matter what, he must take him as a disciple.

So, in her view, they can play and fool around, but in the end the master will still show this person some leniency.

However.

But Lin Yang suddenly spoke.

"Break his limbs for me."

Li Yilan was startled.

"Master, you're not joking, are you?"

"Hit!"

Lin Yang said sternly.

After all, he had sworn that if he ever encountered this person again, he would first break his limbs, no questions asked.

Having chased him twice, this anger won't dissipate so easily.

Seeing the master so resolute, Li Yilan could only nod.

Immediately.

She pulled over a veil to cover her face.

Then.

She frantically began a barrage of punches and kicks on Zhou Tianming.

After all, this person will become her junior disciple, sharing the same roof; if she strikes while veiled, he'll never know who hit him.

Thus far.

Once, the invincible great emperor, famed far and wide, made people tremble at the mere mention of his name.

Now, however, he was beaten by Li Yilan into howling in agony, suffering beyond words.

——————————

Meanwhile, in midair, Lin Yang heard the system's notification sound.

【Ding!】

【Detected that second disciple Ye Xiaojin's cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm; congratulations, host, you have gained a large amount of returned cultivation.】

Immediately.

A stream of spiritual power merged into Lin Yang's body.

However.

After breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm, this amount of power is negligible to him.

But.

He is truly astonished by Ye Xiaozhi's talent.

In such a short time, they broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Her cultivation speed is even more frenzied than Li Yatou's.

【Ding dong!】

Again, a system prompt sounded in his ear.

【Detected that second disciple Ye Xiaozhi's assassin level broke through to Junior Assassin, congratulations host for obtaining assassin level return, successfully breaking through to Intermediate Assassin level.】

Upon hearing that,

Lin Yang smiled faintly, 'Intermediate Assassin level?'

Nowadays.

He also attained a Sword Saint-level sword dao rank.

Advancing, he can attack with sword dao.

Retreating, he can hide with sword dao.

He can both strike and hide.

With these two sets combined, who can withstand it?

【Ding dong!】

【Congratulations Ye Xiaozhi reached Junior Assassin level, and the host reached Intermediate Assassin level, system rewards you………】
