After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1023 Earth Escape Technique: Capturing Tian Bonong Alive!

Interrupt spellcasting.

As the sword domain dissipated, the rain of swords returned to falling as raindrops. At the same time, the enormous sword shadow wreathed with lightning above the low clouds also vanished.

"A sneak attack, another sneak attack! Can't you be a little more dignified and fight me head-on?"

The illusory image of the seal dissipated, and Tian Bonong stood up from the mud.

Covered in mud, like a freshly unearthed clay figure, he shouted loudly, exasperated.

The feeling of being kicked halfway through urinating is really unpleasant.

Couldn't you have waited until I had gathered my strength before making your move?
I put in so much effort, and all that hard work to prepare a powerful move, which had barely begun to emerge, was ruined by your sudden attack.

This is outrageous! It shows a complete lack of martial ethics.

Tian Bonong felt the anger in his chest was more turbulent than the thunderclouds in the sky.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the water monkey seized the opportunity and pounced directly at Tian Bonong.

He swung the iron rod at Tian Bonong's head.

Its fangs protrude outwards, making it both ugly and ferocious.

Tian Bonong roared, and a winnowing basket appeared in his hand, which he used to block the air above his head.

"boom!"

The winnowing basket was also a defensive treasure, but it was instantly smashed in two by the water monkey's full-force blow.

Tian Bonong seized the opportunity to withdraw, flying back dozens of meters.

Chen Yang once again invoked the Mountain Lord Seal.

boom!
A large, phantom-like seal suddenly crashed down.

This time, Tian Bonong was clearly on guard.

As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." If you get fooled once or twice, you should learn your lesson by now, right?
You can do it once, you can do it twice, but you can't do it again.

Tian Bonong is now in a very passive situation. His ultimate move was interrupted and his sword domain was broken. If he wants to build up his momentum again, his opponent will definitely not give him the chance. One water monkey was already enough for him to deal with, and now another cunning fellow has appeared. The situation is very unfavorable for him.

Just as the seal was about to fall, a large black pot suddenly appeared out of thin air, completely engulfing Tian Bonong's body.

"boom!"

The phantom of the seal fell and smashed onto the black pot.

"Keng..."

A piercing crash was followed by a burst of sparks.

Dirt flew everywhere, creating a large crater on the spot.

There was a large iron pot in the pit, the bottom of which had been dented from being smashed.

"Roar!"

The water monkey pounced and hit the iron pot with its stick.

"Oh!"

Sparks flew and a large hole was punched into the iron pot.

Through the hole, it was completely empty.

"Ho."

The water monkey roared and flipped the iron pot over.

It was indeed empty inside.

"no one?"

This completely baffled the water monkey.

How could such a large, living person simply vanish into thin air?

Could it possibly be pulverized and vaporized?
Chen Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the fragments of the iron pot.

This iron pot is also a defensive treasure. Although it was damaged by the water monkey, the pot is made of top-quality materials and can be used to forge any weapon in the future.

"go!"

While the water monkey was stunned, Chen Yang called out.

It looked at Chen Yang with a slightly bewildered expression.

Chen Yang, however, put it into the Azure Profound Pearl, used the Moon Shadow Technique to conceal his aura, and quietly headed down the mountain.

……

This Tian Bonong certainly has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

It actually managed to escape by burrowing into the earth.

This "Shennong's Secret" does indeed have its unique aspects.

Earth-attribute techniques can utilize the energy of the earth's veins, allowing one to maintain continuous combat power while standing on the ground. Moreover, they can even use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of martial art that allows one to escape through the earth).

If it were someone else, this guy would probably have gotten away today.

For Chen Yang, things that fly in the sky and run on the ground are quite easy to kill, but those that can burrow underground are indeed difficult to kill.

However, even if it's difficult to kill him, we have to kill him. Since we've already made our move, there's no reason for him to live.

With radar detection deployed, he could clearly detect areas up to a thousand meters underground. Unless Tian Bonong could instantly escape to a distance of a thousand meters and get out of Chen Yang's radar detection range, Chen Yang could completely monitor his movements at any time.

The ability to burrow underground is indeed difficult to deal with, but a person can't stay underground forever; they have to come out for some fresh air eventually.

From the moment Tian Bonong was shrouded in the black pot, Chen Yang had already realized that he had escaped.

He was somewhat surprised at the time.

After all, he had only ever seen animals like Mo Yuan, who were good at digging, and spiritual plants that were naturally growing in the soil, who could use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for earth ...

Tian Bonong's speed in escaping through the earth was not fast, not much faster than an average person running.

But this fellow hid deep enough, attempting to conceal his aura with a thick layer of soil.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang's reconnaissance was conducted using radar.

It was invisible and traceless, and he couldn't sense it at all.

down the mountain.

Tian Bonong fled south.

This direction means either he's heading back to his old lair, or he's heading towards Longya Mountain.

Sure enough, people tend to go home when they encounter danger.

However, at this speed, it would probably be dawn before he got back to the farm.

The effects of the Dao Zhen Dan on the water monkey would probably only last for about ten minutes, and Chen Yang didn't want to waste time with him like that.

Thought for a moment.

Chen Yang stopped and took something out of the Azure Pearl.

Water algae.

The water hyacinth extracted from the longevity stone.

Chen Yang had already cut off the algae fibers, leaving only a bare clump, like a fuzzy ball of sea urchin.

Chen Yang took out a bottle of plant growth essence and poured it onto the water algae.

The water algae greedily absorbed these energy-rich spiritual liquids.

The algal filaments also grew rapidly.

"What...what do you want me to do?"

The water algae was quite self-aware, knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch and that Chen Yang wouldn't give it spiritual liquid for no reason. So, before Chen Yang could even speak, it asked a question.

"Do me a favor, and I'll set you free afterward. I mean what I say," Chen Yang said as he continued tracking Tian Bonong.

"My lord, please give your orders."

The waterweed's voice trembled, and she sounded somewhat agitated.

"Find out the person who escaped underground."

Chen Yang coldly gave the order and warned, "Of course, you can take this opportunity to escape, but I can guarantee that even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will kill you."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Waterweed responded immediately. These past few days it had been inside the Azure Pearl. Although it didn't know what was happening outside, it had overheard Mo Yuan and the others talking, so it naturally knew what kind of evil spirit this was.

Where would they dare to run?

"Go ahead, and you'll get a reward if you do a good job."

Chen Yang had it leave a mark on the Mountain Lord Seal, and then simply threw it on the ground.

Without a word, the water algae immediately burrowed into the soil.

Whether it's burrowing underground or spiritual plants, they have a greater talent.

Spirit plants, growing in the soil, not only have the ability to escape, but also possess natural geographical advantages, giving them their own offensive capabilities.

Humans and other spirit beasts are bound by the soil layer, and even if they can escape, they have few other means of attack.

This waterweed, although only at the early stage of the Dao True Realm, might not be a match for Tian Bonong's sword on the ground, but underground, that's another story.

Radar detected.

The water algae stretched out its roots beneath the ground and quickly burrowed into the earth.

There should also be some kind of treasure on Tian Bonong that can shield him from the detection of the primordial spirit. Even through the hundreds of meters of soil, the water algae could not pinpoint Tian Bonong's location.

However, with Chen Yang helping with the location, things became much simpler.

Once the radar detected Tian Bonong's location, Chen Yang remotely controlled the water algae directly through the markings on the mountain lord's seal.

The water algae just need to obey and rush forward.

……

Under the ground.

Tian Bonong continued his arduous journey.

His earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) is indeed a wonderful way to save his life. However, since it is neither on the ground nor in the air, although the technique is exquisite, it requires mud and rocks to make way, and the consumption is not small.

If you encounter a harder layer of soil, you have to take a detour.

He knew very well that the young man had the ability to conceal his form and aura, so even though he used his primordial spirit to probe the situation above and found nothing unusual, he did not think of emerging from the ground.

The worst-case scenario is that the young man has his eye on him and will launch a sneak attack the moment he shows his face.

While it might be overly cautious and bordering on paranoia, it's not impossible.

As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry," if he wanted to survive and be safe, he had to be cautious and stay as far away from Nan'e Mountain as possible. He would only show himself after confirming that it was completely safe. He proceeded cautiously, intending to return to his farm first.

There is a protective formation in the cave inside the farm. As long as I go back and activate the formation, no matter what tricks that young man has, he will have a hard time breaking the formation. Moreover, I can escape at any time if I sense danger.

He not only failed to obtain the elixir but also nearly lost his life. This experience will be unforgettable for Tian Bonong.

He simply couldn't believe that someone of his stature could be so easily manipulated by a mere junior.

At this moment, he hoped even more that what the white fox said was true.

This person might really be Zhao Quanzhen. If so, I won't feel ashamed even if word gets out about what happened tonight.

"Susususu..."

Suddenly, Tian Bonong felt a strange noise coming from the soil behind him.

not good!

Spiritual plants!

He used his spiritual sense to look around and immediately discovered something approaching from behind.

high speed.

Moreover, he is a Dao True Realm being.

Could it be that I have accidentally wandered into the territory of a certain spiritual plant?
"Fellow……"

He immediately used telepathy to express his goodwill to the other party.

This place is underground, surrounded by soil. He has no advantage in terms of terrain, and his movements are restricted. If he encounters an attack from spiritual plants, he might be buried underground forever.

However, the other party did not give him any reply.

It was still rapidly approaching him.

Feeling the intense malice, Tian Bonong immediately turned and fled, heading diagonally upwards.

"Susususu..."

His escape speed was too slow, and the spiritual plants quickly caught up. A large patch of something that looked like roots or tendrils wrapped around him and dragged him upwards.

"I am Tian Bonong, a wandering cultivator from outside Nanshan. I am passing through your esteemed place and have no intention of offending you. I would be grateful if you could grant me this favor. I will repay you handsomely afterward." Tian Bonong was greatly surprised.

"Bonong Tian, ​​do you really not recognize me?"

A mental fluctuation rang in Tian Bonong's ears.

“You are…” Tian Bonong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"You really have a bad memory. Wasn't it you who captured me from the White Dragon River back then, exchanged me for Danyangzi, and got three Great Rejuvenation Pills in return?"

"what?"

A single sentence jolted him awake, and Tian Bonong's expression changed slightly: "You are that algae?"

"Thanks to you, I've suffered so much at Danyangzi's hands all these years. Now, it's your turn to experience the suffering I've endured."

The water algae snorted coldly, and a large amount of algal filaments rushed up, completely wrapping Tian Bonong's body.

Although Tian Bonong condensed his primordial spirit sword energy to slash, the damage was limited because he was in the soil. The water algae took advantage of the terrain, and the algae fibers continued to grow, pulling him upwards.

"Brother Zao, let's talk this out. What happened back then was beyond our control. I, Tian, ​​can compensate you..."

"compensate?"

Waterweed chuckled, "If I believe you again, you old fool, I'll be fooled a second time. I don't want any compensation, I just want you dead."

"Brother Zao..."

Tian Bonong shouted loudly, but it was to no avail. This waterweed was determined to settle its score.

It must be said that people should be kind. If you do too many bad things, you will eventually get your comeuppance. It's not that you won't be punished, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

What happened yesterday, happens today.

The water algae kept pulling Tian Bonong upwards.

Tian Bonong calmed down, still holding a sliver of hope in his heart. Could this water algae be trying to pull him out of the ground? Didn't it know that once the soil was gone, he could easily kill it with his strength?
Or is it relying on something?
It's too late, but it's soon.

The waterweed moved quickly, and in just a few breaths, it dragged Tian Bonong up.

"Roar!"

A roar, deafeningly loud.

As soon as Tian Bonong appeared, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Sure enough, I knew things weren't that simple; they were waiting for me here.

A large hand reached out to grab him.

Tian Bonong was like a radish that had just sprouted from the ground. The water monkey grabbed his head, roared, and pulled him out.

"boom!"

With a casual shove, it was thrown heavily to the ground.

"puff!"

Tian Bonong was thrown around so hard he was dizzy and spit out a mouthful of blood. "Stop! Stop it now!"

His voice was drowned out by the sound of wind and rain.

Chen Yang quickly approached, condensed a Life and Death Curse Seal, and struck Tian Bonong directly on the back.

The water monkey was immediately driven away by Chen Yang's shout.

Tian Bonong felt a chill run down his back, as if someone had poked him with a finger. He turned around and saw Chen Yang standing not far behind him.

She was staring at him with icy eyes.

"call!"

Chen Yang let out a long breath. Now that he had broken through to the Dao True Realm and condensed a third-order Life and Death Curse Seal, it was not as difficult as before, but it still consumed a lot of energy.

However, unlike before the breakthrough, when I would easily exhaust all my true essence and spiritual energy.

Right now, about half of it has been used up.

"Young friend, I admit defeat. I'll give you anything you want, just spare my life!"

Tian Bonong is now seriously injured and exhausted. In front of Shui Houzi and Chen Yang, he is completely unable to fight anymore.

Chen Yang didn't say much and directly activated the curse seal within Tian Bonong's body.

In an instant, the energy of the incantation transformed into tiny needles that circulated through Tian Bonong's meridians, stimulating them and even flowing into the Sanjiao Gate.

"what……"

The immense pain caused Tian Bonong to let out a bloodcurdling scream and collapse to the ground, rolling around in the mud.

Chen Yang held up his umbrella and watched quietly, without the slightest pity.

If we're talking about who among Danyangzi, Shi Xiangsheng, and Tian Bonong deserves to die the most, it's definitely the one in front of us.

To be honest, Danyangzi and Shi Xiangsheng didn't have any direct grudges against Chen Yang at first.

Even regarding Danyangzi's side, it was Chen Yang's side that started the trouble first.

It was Chen Yang who first took away the Impermanence Scale and the Longevity Stone that he had placed in that pool, which led to Danyangzi's subsequent pursuit of him.

Of course, Danyangzi was not a good person either.

As for Shi Xiangsheng, Chen Yang targeted him partly because of the Udumbara Flower's request, and partly because this guy was a member of the Pingtian Sect and not a good person.

Only Tian Bonong truly and fundamentally angered Chen Yang.

This guy is not only not a good person, but he's also pure evil and a complete pervert. Just the fact that he captured Wang Yuanchao and the others and enslaved them is enough for Chen Yang to kill him a hundred times over.

However, this person still has some use, so Chen Yang chose to keep him for the time being.

"what……"

"Spare your life, spare your life..."

……

Tian Bonong rolled around on the ground, covered in mud, screaming in deafening cries that were utterly heart-wrenching.

"Roar!"

The water monkey let out a low growl, its red fur turned black, and the bloodshot color in its eyes faded.

The effects of the Daozhen Pill have worn off.

Chen Yang immediately put it back into the Azure Profound Pearl to recuperate.

Tian Bonong was still crying, his voice was hoarse, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Only then did Chen Yang stop torturing him.

"Ouch, ouch..."

Tian Bonong lay on the ground, groaning softly.

Chen Yang didn't say much to him, grabbed him and dragged him like a dead dog, quickly heading towards Nan'e Mountain.

……

-

Nan'e Mountain, cave.

Danyangzi tried a lot to persuade Mo Yuan, but despite his efforts, Mo Yuan remained unmoved.

Although he offered Mo Yuan many tempting prices, Mo Yuan clearly distinguished who was the king and who was the prince. It was very aware of its own situation. It still had the Life and Death Curse Mark on its body. If it dared to have any bad intentions, it probably wouldn't live to see tomorrow.

He turned a deaf ear to Danyangzi's words.

When Chen Yang returned, Mo Yuan looked at Tian Bonong, who was being dragged around like a dead dog, and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Once this guy makes a move, there's no way he'll let these people escape.

It's truly lamentable that two powerful cultivators at the late stage of the Dao Realm were tormented like this by Chen Yang.

No wonder they suspected that Chen Yang was the reincarnation of Zhao Quanzhen.

Chen Yang tossed Tian Bonong, who was like a dead dog, aside.

"How are you doing? Still behaving yourself?" Chen Yang asked Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan shook his head. "He's trying to coax me into letting him go, and even said that you, Master, wouldn't dare kill him..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang chuckled softly, his gaze falling on Dan Yangzi.

Danyangzi hadn't expected Moyuan to betray him so directly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Junior, I'll say it again: if you don't let me leave, I'll commit suicide. I'll still activate the curse then. We might as well die together."

Chen Yang looked at Mo Yuan and asked, "Is there such a curse?"

Mo Yuan nodded. "I've only heard of the 'Marrying Yin and Stealing Life Curse,' it's a forbidden curse from the Chunyang Guankun Sect..."
