Chapter 33: Disciple Abducted

Come on, hand it over.

The black-shadow man turned into a swift gust and lunged at Ye Xiaozhi beside him.

He just went out to hunt in the wild, and even managed to find the medicinal ingredient for refining Blood Demon Pill—truly fate's guidance.

I ought to get stronger.

The sudden scene startled Ye Xiaozhi.

She hurriedly dodged and shouted, "Ah, who are you?"

"Don't, don't come near me—get lost!"

However, the black-shadow man grew happier the more Ye Xiaozhi begged, and just as he was about to grab her—

A door-plank great blade suddenly blocked the black-shadow man's path.

That black-shadow descended, transforming into a figure with evil pupils and cold lightning, disheveled hair like a demon, his face carved with ferocity—a black-haired man.

"Who are you, and why are you stopping me from catching this girl?" the black-haired man asked coldly.

However.

Lin Yang completely ignored him and instead went to Ye Xiaozhi's side.

"I saved you, but you haven't answered my question yet."

Ye Xiaozhi's face was full of fright; once again saved by the person before her, but regarding becoming a disciple, she said, "Senior…"

Lin Yang laughed: "You simply don't understand me, doubting my strength and my character."

"Like this, I'll show you a couple of tricks, then you can decide whether to take me as your master."

"Then senior, be careful," Ye Xiaozhi reminded.

Seeing Lin Yang and Ye Xiaozhi chatting back and forth, completely ignoring him, the black-haired man had long been impatient.

"Young Sect Master is speaking to you—are you deaf?"

"Speak up—who exactly are you? Why are you blocking me?"

The black-haired man was extremely indignant; as the esteemed Young Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, when had he ever suffered such injustice?

However, the next second he discovered there was something even more aggravating.

Lin Yang flashed and appeared before the black-haired man.

Next, his ears were simply grabbed by Lin Yang.

Then a voice exploded forth.

"Damn it!"

"I'm not deaf."

Hearing that, the black-haired man's face turned as black as charcoal, instantly furious from embarrassment.

"You bastard, you dare tug my ears?"

The black-haired man clenched his fist, preparing to strike Lin Yang.

However, he was ultimately a step too slow.

Boom!

Lin Yang threw the first punch, slamming into the black-haired man; he only felt his vision go dark, then flew back as if hit by a train.

Bang bang bang.

After smashing through five or six large trees in succession,

the black-robed man finally came to a stop.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he stared at the person before him in utter disbelief.

He, a late-stage Lesser Saint, was actually sent flying that far by a single punch.

"Who exactly are you?"

The black-haired man was utterly enraged; the shame of that punch made him want to rip off his black hair and stomp on it several times to vent his fury.

Hearing that, Lin Yang shook his head, flashed again, and once more grabbed the black-haired man's ear, saying:

"Listen well." Lin Yang said word by word: "I am Lin Yang, Peak Lord of Heavenly Dao Peak in the Azure Cloud Sect—do you understand?"

"Lin Yang? Azure Cloud Sect? Heavenly Dao Peak Peak Lord?"

The black-haired man muttered to himself.

The next second.

Boom!

Lin Yang threw another punch, directly blasting the black-haired man away.

"Wah-wah!" the black-haired man spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Lin Yang, however, paid no mind, turned his head to Ye Xiaozhi and asked, "How about it, am I not impressive?"

"Im… impressive." Ye Xiaozhi's small eyes were already wide as saucers; even the nearby Er Dan, Tie Zhu, and Xiao Hua were left dumbfounded by Lin Yang.

Meanwhile, the black-robed man painfully climbed to his feet and said, "Since you dare to wound me, why bother deceiving me with a false name?"

"As far as I know, the Azure Cloud Sect only has six major peaks; I've never heard of a Heavenly Dao Peak."

"Moreover, among those of your age in the Azure Cloud Sect with such strength, aside from Li Mu, there is no one else—clearly you are not him." the black-haired man said.

In his view, this person merely wanted to shift the blame onto the Azure Cloud Sect.

Lin Yang, speechless, said: "So, do you need me to explain?"

Upon hearing that.

The black-haired man immediately realized his ears were in trouble.

He hastily said, "Since you dare not show your true name, fine—I don't want to know."

However, you just remember: the green mountains remain, the clear waters flow forever; we will meet again later.

After spouting off, he turned and prepared to flee.

However.

Lin Yang grabbed him and said: "I made an agreement with that disciple; I'll show her a couple of tricks, if she's satisfied she'll become my disciple. If you run away, who will I show the tricks to for her?"

Madman!

The black-haired man warned: "I am the junior sect master of the Blood Demon Sect; you'd better release me, otherwise the Blood Demon Sect and my father will not spare you."

"Blood Demon Sect? Junior sect master?" Lin Yang narrowed his eyes.

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, the black-haired man said: "That's right; I advise you, those who know the times are outstanding."

"What trash, I've never even heard of it."

Immediately Lin Yang said: "Stop barking like a dog; if you want to live, give me your all in one strike, I'll return a strike; if you can survive, then you may roll back where you came from; if you cannot survive, then you die."

"You're forcing a sale, why should I agree?" The black-haired man was a bit angry; the other side obviously gave him no human rights.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yang's gaze turned icy and locked onto him.

He immediately gave an elegant smile: "What I mean is, you've already performed well enough; I was beaten by you with no power to retaliate, no need to prove your methods further."

Immediately.

He then looked at Ye Xiaoye beside him and said: "Little brat, he's really strong; you should quickly become his disciple."

The black-haired man felt bitter inside; he, the esteemed junior sect master of the Blood Demon Sect, has now become a lackey.

"Don't waste words, attack me." Lin Yang said.

The black-haired man raised his head, looking at such resolute Lin Yang, he knew his fate could only be seized by himself.

"Enough!"

"Since that's the case, then my fate is mine, not heaven's!"

"Blood Demon Sword!"

"Rise!"

Boom!

Instantly, dust flew up all around; a mass of blood-colored mist appeared above the black-haired man's head, the formation powerful.

Within the blood mist, a blood-colored long sword suddenly appeared.

Ge ge ge……

The sword's appearance was accompanied by a shrill ghostly wail and wolf howl.

"Senior... senior, be careful." Ye Xiaoye said tremblingly.

With the blood sword's empowerment, the black-haired man's aura surged, and his tone grew firmer.

"Bastard, take my sword!"

Hum!

The blood sword, wrapped in a layer of blood clouds, surged unstoppably toward Lin Yang.

However.

Facing this sword, Lin Yang's expression showed no ripple; his clothes fluttered in the gust.

He slowly raised his hand, extended a finger, pointing slowly as if tapping a falling leaf.

The heavens and earth changed color.

The black-haired man's blood sword, upon encountering this finger, shattered like a tofu-dregs project, and that finger pressed toward him in a crushing manner.

"This...?"

"How is this possible?"

The domineering nature of this finger had already caused all of the black-haired man's mental defenses to collapse; facing this finger, he nearly pissed himself from fear.

"Ah!"

"Don't kill me."

"Stop, I am the junior sect master of the Blood Demon Sect; my father is the sect master of the Blood Demon Sect. If you dare kill me, my father will certainly not spare you."

Facing the threat, Lin Yang's finger also, like a freezing technique, pointed at the black-haired man's head.

Hum……

In an instant, all sounds ceased.

Everything around, as if frozen by that finger, became utterly silent.

And Lin Yang's finger simply rested on the black-haired man's forehead.

The black-haired man just stood there like that.

The next moment.

Boom!

The black-haired man's body instantly exploded.

Turning into a mass of blood mist.

The junior sect master of the Blood Demon Sect fell here.

"Ah!"

Ye Xiaoye and the others nearby, having never seen such methods, were already scared, covering their faces and screaming, trembling like sieving chaff.

Lin Yang, indifferent, retracted his finger and stepped forward to Ye Xiaoye.

"Handsome or not, are you now willing to become my disciple?"

Ye Xiaoye immediately knelt on the ground.

He kowtowed three times in succession.

Master above, please accept Ye Xiaojie's bow as my disciple.

"Mm-hmm, good." Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction; he had finally taken on a second disciple.

As for that rebellious disciple who wanted to break his leg and repeatedly fled using transmission talismans, his status as the second disciple of Tian Dao Peak is gone.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, Host, you have successfully taken on a second disciple; system reward: Nine Dragons Profound Heaven Banner.】

【Placed in the backpack.】

Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction; according to the system, taking on a second disciple would grant a teaching heart method.

I wonder what kind of heart method Ye Xiaojie's talent could grant.

After waiting a moment, no system prompt appeared.

Lin Yang asked, "System, you wouldn't be that cruel, would you? My disciple's talent is lacking, yet you won't even give a teaching heart method—too harsh?"

【Ding!】

【Host, this woman's trait is extraordinary; all rewards will be released tonight.】

"Again tonight? This really whetted Lin Yang's appetite."

"Fine, tonight it is; I want to see just how outrageous her trait and rewards can be."

Two hours later, Ye Xiaojie bade farewell to her parents.

Lin Yang also learned from her parents that Ye Xiaojie had an older brother named Ye Xiaoliu, who three years ago was taken by an expert to cultivate immortality and has not returned.

Ye Xiaojie and Ye Xiaoliu are very close; no wonder, her trait includes "no one may harm my brother."

Her parents meant for Lin Yang to help inquire about Ye Xiaoliu's whereabouts; he naturally agreed.

Thus, the two set off on the road back to the Azure Cloud Sect.

【Ding!】

【Detected that senior disciple Li Yilan has gained a large amount of sword intent; congratulations, Host, you receive a large amount of sword intent in return.】
