Harness Cultivator

Chapter 44 - Submit Or Death



Lee Tao was completely unafraid of a mere chimera. It was like watching a tiny dog trying to bite its master.

However, the same thing couldn't be applied to Tang Lingling as it was her first time seeing a mythical creature.

"A-A chimera…" Tang Lingling gasped in horror once she got a clear sight of the beast.

"Young Master, let this servant deal with it while you run away." Tang Lingling quickly said as she stood in front of Lee Tao.

She retrieved her sword out as she was ready to give up her life to protect Lee Tao's safety.

Lee Tao twitched his mouth at her ridiculous action.

Extending his hand out, Lee Tao pulled Tang Lingling back and stared at her in a deadpan expression.

"Did I say I need your help, Tang Lingling?" Lee Tao then asked coldly.

"You're already struggling like a dead pig in this gravity pressure so how the hell did you think you would be able to fight against the chimera?"

Tang Lingling kept silent and lowered her head in embarrassment.

She had forgotten that her cultivation base here was completely useless and could barely even move a muscle.

Lee Tao breathed a soft sigh as he wondered if Tang Lingling was purposely trolling him.

"Stay on the sideline and try to recover yourself." Lee Tao ordered as he returned his focus back on the chimera.

Tang Lingling nodded her head.

She then walked toward a corner and made sure she wouldn't get in Lee Tao's way in fighting the chimera.

"How will the Young Master fight against a mythical creature?" Tang Lingling mumbled softly as she stared at Lee Tao.

Sometime later, Lee Tao walked up slowly to face the ferocious chimera in a calm demeanor.

"Ahh, the last time I fought against a chimera, they had to kneel before me and begged for mercy." Lee Tao smirked as he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So it's a baby chimera- not even a full-fledged adult yet." He added.

"RAWR!" The chimera roared in anger at Lee Tao.

It could tell Lee Tao wasn't taking him seriously nor even looked at him as a threat.

Thus, it felt angry for being disrespected by Lee Tao despite his origin as a mythical creature.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao scratched his neck as he found it hilarious that the chimera still believed himself as the god.

"When meeting an Immortal, the worst thing a mere child could do is not know how to pay respect." Lee Tao said as his expression turned solemn.

Afterward, a dreadful aura began emitting from Lee Tao and the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy.

The gravity pressure around the mountain also seemed to stop for a moment, almost like it didn't dare to stay any longer in front of Lee Tao's aura.

Lee Tao then glanced at the frightened chimera and decided to send a mental transmission to him.

"Although I'm still in a mortal body, my mind and soul is still an Immortal. Do you dare to go against a True Immortal?" Lee Tao asked as his eyes brimmed in a fiery red color.

The chimera started trembling in fear as he recognized the powerful aura from Lee Tao.

"Submit or die!" Lee Tao said as he took a step closer to the chimera.

The chimera's pupil constricted as it made a whimpering noise before bowing its head down.

His forehead was practically kissing the ground now as he gave an utmost greeting of respect to Lee Tao.

It was his way of saying that he will submit to Lee Tao.

Lee Tao nodded his head as he retracted his Immortal's aura.

'Argh, releasing my Immortal's aura for a brief moment already took a strain in my body…' Lee Tao cursed silently in his heart.

However, he was still lucky that the chimera had fallen for his bluff and didn't suspect a thing.

'If he had delayed for a few more seconds then my bluff would have been exposed.' Lee Tao couldn't help but praise his acting skills.

Although being exposed wouldn't mean the end since Lee Tao could still beat the chimera, it would have taken much longer and wasted valuable time.

"Since you are smart enough to know when to submit, this Immortal shall forgive your impudence if you do something for me." Lee Tao continued his mental transmission as he said it in a dominating tone.

"You also don't have to keep roaring since I can understand the beast's language." He added.

The chimera gasped in surprise as he lifted his head slightly to glance at Lee Tao.

Afterward, he opened his mouth and began speaking, "Y-You actually understand our language?"

"What else did you think?" Lee Tao snorted coldly. "Did you think I'm some fake Immortal or something?"

"N-No, t-this lowly chimera doesn't dare to doubt the Immortal's identity." The chimera quickly shook his head and spoke in a submission tone.

"T-The previous owner of this ancient ruin had mentioned that he was only a pseudo-Immortal and that he was still searching for ways to become an Immortal. However, he had revealed to me how a true Immortal act and how their aura differs from mortals." The chimera explained.

"Heh, at least the pseudo-Immortal is an intelligent man to warn you about how to act in front of a true Immortal." Lee Tao said as he thanked the stupid pseudo-Immortal silently in his heart.

'As expected of a pseudo, always ignorant and gives out false intel.'

Lee Tao continued to spend another 10 minutes or so to converse with the chimera to learn more about the ancient ruin.

Sometime later, Lee Tao turned around and smiled wickedly at Tang Lingling.

"Tang Lingling, get up, we have a mount now to climb the mountain for us." Lee Tao said.

Tang Lingling raised an eyebrow.

"Y-You tamed the chimera?" Tang Lingling stuttered as she held a dumbfounded expression.

'H-How is this possible?' Tang Lingling cried inwardly as she wondered what kind of spell Lee Tao cast to make the ferocious chimera submit to him.

"Well, are you going to keep wasting time?" Lee Tao smirked as he hopped onto the chimera's back.
