"As expected of the Human World King. He's truly formidable!" Elder Zhan said, a lingering fear in his heart. If the Demon-Binding Rope hadn't absorbed most of the attack's power, he would already be dead. Although he was still alive, he was severely injured.
"Lesser Commander, to avoid complications, don't waste any more ti. Take him back to the Yaochi Heavenly Palace at once!"
"What about you?" the Lesser Commander asked with concern, running over to him.
Elder Zhan gave a bitter smile. "I can't move at all right now. I need to find a place to heal and recover. You should go back alone first."
Yan Qinghe confird that Long Tianji was securely bound and could not escape. Only then did he finally relax. He walked over and gave his assurance, "I will send Elder Zhan to the best sanatorium to ensure his safety!"
"Hmph! If Elder Zhan dies, I truly won't care about this mortal realm anymore!" the Lesser Commander warned. She then walked back to Lin Tang's side and hauled him to his feet.
"Do you need a helicopter?"
"That tal contraption that flies in the sky? Forget it. It feels very unsafe! I trust my own two feet more. And don't you dare send anyone to follow . I hate being watched!"
"But you're traveling so far alone. What if sothing unexpected happens along the way..."
"Heh," the Lesser Commander scoffed. "With the Demon-Binding Rope to protect , what could possibly happen?"
With that, she leaped into the air and gradually vanished from their sight. Yan Qinghe imdiately contacted his subordinates and told them to bring an ambulance.
"Damn it, even Brother Lin was defeated? How could this happen!" Wei Zichu was stunned. She had thought that as long as they could hold out until Lin Tang arrived, he would save the day just like always. After all, Lin Tang had never lost. But now…
The other mbers of the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance were utterly devastated, as if their world had ended. They were filled with regret. Why did we have to join the Martial Alliance?! Since joining, we haven't gained a single benefit. Instead, we've faced one danger after another. What a terrible loss! Their despair deepened when Yan Qinghe's subordinates asked what to do with them. Yan Qinghe pondered for a mont before declaring them all remnants and ordering them to be detained and imprisoned.
"What?"
"We're innocent!"
"We haven't done a single bad thing since joining the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance! Why are you throwing us in jail?"
Huangfu Zhan was the most frustrated of all. He had already retired to his hotown but was summoned back by Long Tianji. After waiting for several days without seeing the man, he was now captured along with everyone else…
Spies from other powers, who had been staking out the Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance, witnessed the entire event and rushed to report back to their superiors.
"What? Long Tianji was captured? The Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance has been destroyed?"
"Who is that woman? And what is that treasure, that rope that can bind anyone? She's too mysterious!"
"Even a mighty Heavenly King has fallen… The waters of Central Earth run deep indeed…"
Those who held a grudge against Long Tianji were ecstatic. "Excellent! This is wonderful! Long Tianji, you deserved such a miserable end!"
Xiao Xuanye was so moved he wept, though his tears were tinged with resentnt. Old Yan, oh, Old Yan. You really kept us in the dark! If I had known you had such powerful backing, would I have needed to go head-to-head with Long Tianji?
At the Heavenly Person Academy, a wave of celebration swept through the grounds.
"That demon! He's finally been dealt with!"
"Our poor Holy Corpse… I wonder how that monster desecrated it…"
"You can now rest in peace, Xiangnan!"
Ning Yuexi had just been about to experint with the poison she acquired when she received a call from her master, Ni Xiuyun.
"What? How could... This is so sudden!"
After hanging up, she sat in a daze, unable to process the news for a long ti, her mind a complete blank.
Chen Yuyan stood beside her, a look of astonishnt on his face. Does this an... the poison Master went to such great lengths to get from Brother Lin is now completely useless?
***
From the city to the suburbs, and then into the desolate wilderness, Lin Tang tried countless tis to break free, but nothing worked. With no other choice, he resorted to running his mouth.
"Hey, little sister, even if you're afraid to fly, you could at least take a car. Why are you so silly as to run on foot? Aren't you tired?"
"Hey beautiful, let's make a deal. Loosen this rope a little, and I'll take you flying. I an it, flying. It's an amazing feeling."
"Look at you, you're drenched in sweat. Why don't you take a break? Let's have a little chat… What is this Heavenly Palace of yours, and what do you want with ?"
"You stubborn girl, why are you so…"
"You, shut your mouth!" the Lesser Commander snapped.
BANG!
Annoyed, she forcefully threw Lin Tang to the ground before sitting down beside him to rest. Lin Tang opened his mouth to speak again, but one end of the binding rope extended on its own, wrapping twice around his mouth, cheeks, and head. Pulled tight, he could no longer speak, only producing muffled grunts.
You damn brat… just wait until I break free. I'll show you how I deal with you! he fud internally, glaring at her without blinking.
"What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I'll gouge your eyes out! Oh, you don't believe ? Fine, I'll just…" The Lesser Commander extended two fingers, aiming for his eyes. Just as she was about to blind him, she paused. "No, I can't damage this body. It's ant to be a vessel for the Lady."
Muttering to herself, she irritably lowered her hand.
What? A vessel? For so 'Lady'?? Which old fossil wants to possess ? Fine, if you were a man, whatever. But a woman? You've got to be kidding ! Have you no sha?!
Unwilling to be turned into so androgynous freak, Lin Tang began writhing like a caterpillar again. Seeing his futile struggles, the Lesser Commander sneered.
"Go on, resist. The more you resist, the more you'll despair. And the more you despair, the happier I'll be. This is what you get for nearly killing earlier, hahaha! Actually, you could try to look on the bright side. Becoming the Lady's vessel is your highest honor. Besides, the Lady will probably hide her identity to avoid embarrassnt. That way, she'll continue to save the world under your na, allowing you to go down in history as a great hero, celebrated for generations…"
Her rambling trailed off as her expression suddenly changed. "Hey, why am I suddenly so talkative? Why is my body getting so hot? I…"
She scrambled to her feet in a panic, trying to put distance between herself and Lin Tang, but her body went limp, and she collapsed. Then, she began to crawl uncontrollably toward Lin Tang until she pounced on top of him.
Lin Tang: "???"
What in the world is wrong with her?
Then he caught a whiff of the potent hormonal scent wafting from her. He looked at her flushed face and dazed expression.
"Oh, crap!" Lin Tang realized what was happening. It had to be the vial of aphrodisiac that had broken in his clothes. The scent had finally taken effect.
Why did it only work now? Because earlier, the Lesser Commander was carrying him while running at high speed, and the wind had blown the scent away from her. Now that she was sitting right next to him, the concentrated aroma was flooding her senses. So…
"Hey, snap out of it! I'm a married man! I can't do this with you!" Lin Tang shouted.
Though she was incredibly beautiful, not far behind Shen Youling or Ning Yuexi, Lin Tang was still repulsed. First, she didn't have a special constitution. Second, her figure... compared to voluptuous, sexy won like Zhu Yingning or Mo Pinglan, she was seriously lacking. Most importantly, they were enemies. Their very first eting was a battle to the death. They knew nothing about each other. Who knew if she had so kind of hidden disease?
But as much as Lin Tang hated it, he had no way to escape. He was bound from head to toe and couldn't even stand up. He could only watch as she writhed against him, rubbing against the ropes like a bear scratching its back on a tree.
At this, Lin Tang actually breathed a sigh of relief. With these stupid ropes in the way, she can't get my clothes off… Holy crap, you can do it like that?!
He had held a sliver of hope that the girl, in her dazed state, might subconsciously undo the ropes and free him. And she did, in fact, loosen them… but only a tiny bit…
"She's so cruel! Poor !" Lin Tang sighed. Since he couldn't resist, he could only endure. He decisively reverted to his true appearance and allowed the Lesser Commander to do as she pleased.
And then… a strange expression appeared on his face as he let out a heartfelt sigh. Turns out petite can be cute, too!
When the Lesser Commander instinctively leaned forward to kiss him, their foreheads touched.
This is my chance!
Although his Divine Sense was sealed, their close proximity was just enough for him to launch a ntal attack. Back in his Foundation Establishnt Stage, Lin Tang could forcefully hypnotize Zhu Yingning and Zhao Xinghe. The Lesser Commander was no different. Plus, with her mind in a completely defenseless state, Lin Tang's Divine Sense broke through her ntal barriers like a hot knife through butter.
Found it! So this is called the Demon-Binding Rope, and the thod to use it is… The Yaochi Heavenly Palace? A ten-thousand-year legacy? What a boastful claim, hmph! Huh? This Grand Commander in her mories is actually quite my type, very mature! Wow, this Lady Xuannv is an absolute masterpiece… Ouch!
Just as Lin Tang was enthusiastically 'browsing' through the Lesser Commander's mories, he suddenly t the gaze of Lady Xuannv's ethereal image.
BOOM!
A bolt of lightning seed to strike him down. Lin Tang shuddered violently and snapped back to reality, only to find blood gushing from his nose and eyes.
Just an image in a mory is this terrifying? I'm still too weak! I have to push harder, speed up my cultivation! I need to beco stronger, so strong that I fear nothing!
Lin Tang spat out a mouthful of hot blood, which splattered onto the Demon-Binding Rope. He then silently recited the corresponding incantation. Instantly, the rope flashed, and an invisible fissure opened within it. Lin Tang seized the opportunity, madly pouring his potent True Qi inside, flushing through it again and again until it was completely filled.
That was when he discovered the power Lady Xuannv had previously infused into it—it was the True Qi that only a Cultivator could possess! This ant that this Lady Xuannv was a living Cultivator! She was the first living Cultivator Lin Tang had ever encountered besides himself and his master.
I wonder what her cultivation realm is? All I know is she's ridiculously strong, definitely not soone I can afford to provoke right now.
Despite this chilling thought, his actions were anything but polite. Like a great whale swallowing the sea, he voraciously devoured his opponent's True Qi, and his own cultivation skyrocketed. It was incredibly nourishing!
During the process, the other's True Qi tried to resist. But as it was without a source, and with the True Qi from Lin Tang's Supre True Dragon Technique being so overwhelmingly masculine and domineering, it was no match and could only submit obediently.
"Haha! I thought I was done for this ti, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I've made a huge profit!" Lin Tang was elated.
He removed the Demon-Binding Rope from his body and then pushed the panting Lesser Commander away. He stood up and straightened his clothes. By the ti he had transford back into Long Tianji's appearance, the Lesser Commander was slowly regaining her senses…
"Ah! Y-You… how did you get free? That's impossible! And what did you do to ? You beast! You animal!" she shrieked, clutching her clothes to her chest, so consud by sha and fury she looked ready to explode.
"Shut up!" Lin Tang kicked her over and smacked her on the rear several tis. "You're my prisoner now. It's my turn to tie you up!"
"Aaah! Kill ! If you have the guts, just kill ! The Lady will avenge !" the Lesser Commander scread, her eyes filling with tears of humiliation.
Lin Tang sneered, "I'll be waiting for her!"
The mont the words left his mouth, the color of the sky changed. A terrifying gale erupted, whipping up rocks, soil, and plants into a massive tornado. Like a solar eclipse, the daylight abruptly vanished, plunging the world into darkness.
Lin Tang looked up sharply, just in ti to see the churning clouds coalesce, gradually forming the furious face of Lady Xuannv.
No way! Isn't this a bit too much?! My scalp went numb, and my entire body felt like it had been zapped by electricity. Danger! Danger!! DANGER!!!
