Sword qi fell one after another onto Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan roared in fury, his fists like divine weapons, constantly blocking the terrifying sword qi.
"Boom!"
One sword qi was flung aside by Zhu Yan. The terrifying sword qi directly severed a large section of a mountain, leaving everyone awestruck and yearning. They all wished they could reach Li Chungang's realm, where they too could cleave mountains with a single sword.
Zhu Yan was an extremely powerful ferocious beast, formidable in strength, especially its physical body, which could withstand even quasi-divine artifacts with little issue.
Li Chungang was no weaker. A more powerful sword qi descended, forcing Zhu Yan back hundreds of meters. Another sword qi was unleashed, and Zhu Yan raised his fists, like heavenly hammers cracking the earth.
"Crack!"
Li Chungang's sword qi was shattered. The fragments scattered, destroying everything around them. This was the might of a Demigod, the strength of a top-tier expert.
With every movement, they possessed the power to destroy worlds. Zhou Yan had everyone retreat further. The area of their battle expanded, the ground already caved in, and the underground palace destroyed by their fight.
The surrounding forests and mountains had collapsed and been obliterated, no longer resembling their former selves.
The mindless walking dead were turned to dust by the overflowing energy between them.
"Boom!"
Li Chungang's sword struck Zhu Yan, knocking it down.
Zhu Yan's massive body crashed into a mountain, instantly obliterating it.
Thunderbolts descended. Zhu Yan could still control the power of black lightning, which it had not used before. At this critical moment, Zhu Yan finally began to counterattack.
A black lightning bolt the size of a meter was controlled by Zhu Yan and hurled towards Li Chungang. Li Chungang, as if one with his sword, charged directly at the lightning.
"Crack!"
The black lightning was broken. Li Chungang, unharmed, hovered in the nine heavens like a celestial sword immortal, conjuring a unique divine sword.
"Die!"
Zhu Yan roared, its black energy transforming into a terrifying colossal beast, flying towards Li Chungang.
The divine sword moved, and the heavens and earth changed. It was like a celestial gate opening, the divine realm descending. Strange energies scattered, and bizarre power seemed to destroy everything.
The divine sword destroyed the black energy, shattering and obliterating it.
The Sword of Divinity was unlike any sword that should exist in the mortal world. Nothing could withstand it.
Zhu Yan felt the threat of death and unleashed all its energy, forming a black shield before itself.
"Clang!"
Terrifying energy was fully released. Zhu Yan's feet sank completely into the ground. Mountains collapsed, stars shifted, the sun and moon lost their light, and the sword qi annihilated the dark clouds in the sky.
"Boom!"
The fearsome energy was completely unleashed, engulfing Zhu Yan. The black energy was also completely broken by the power of the sword.
In the nine heavens, a light like the Milky Way appeared.
People thousands of kilometers away felt a terrifying energy fluctuation and looked at the unpredictable sky in the distance, lost in thought.
"Such terrifying sword qi!"
"My sword is trembling!"
"What power is this? It's too terrifying. Has a monstrous beast appeared?"
"Heavens! These are two Demigod realm experts clashing!"
"No way, how could two Demigod realm experts suddenly appear in our Xuanfeng Dynasty?"
...
Zhu Yan was heavily wounded and knocked to the ground by Li Chungang. But as a ferocious beast, even severely injured, it remained arrogant, roaring at Li Chungang.
"Boom!"
Li Chungang unhesitatingly struck Zhu Yan again, knocking it down.
"Zhu Yan, surrender and submit obediently. I'm a very caring person. I provide food, lodging, and entertainment. We can even bully other small animals sometimes. With such good conditions, what are you waiting for?"
Zhou Yan flew into the air and earnestly presented his terms to Zhu Yan, like a company recruiting new employees.
"You want me, Zhu Yan, to submit? You can forget about it!" Zhu Yan was incredibly proud, preferring death to submission.
"This heart of mine cannot die. Moreover, I particularly enjoy forcing people to do things against their will. The more you refuse, the more I will make you submit."
Zhou Yan took out a pile of talismans and walked towards Zhu Yan.
"Die!" Zhu Yan raised its fist and attacked Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan easily dodged.
"Unruly," Zhou Yan pulled out a large hammer and smashed it down fiercely towards Zhu Yan's head.
"Bang!"
Zhu Yan's head was large and its defense was strong, several times stronger than the Nian Beast from before.
"Dark Sky!"
Zhou Yan shouted, and Dark Sky quickly flew above Zhu Yan. Zhou Yan immediately threw the large hammer towards Dark Sky.
Dark Sky manifested a massive dragon claw, grabbed the hammer, and began launching a fierce assault on Zhu Yan's head.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!"
Zhu Yan naturally resisted, but Zhou Yan cast a mental spell on it. Powerful mental energy surged into Dark Sky's mind, causing it to become dazed and then blissfully unconscious.
This time, Zhou Yan had brought out a pet scroll even more powerful than the last, specifically designed for powerful monsters.
These scrolls were ten times more expensive than ordinary pet scrolls.
But Zhou Yan lacked nothing in money. As long as the item was good, money was not an issue.
Therefore, Zhou Yan began using pet scrolls one by one on the unconscious Zhu Yan.
Each time Zhou Yan used a scroll, he would employ mental magic to refine and attack Zhu Yan's spirit, weakening its resistance.
However, it still failed. But each failure inflicted damage to Zhu Yan's soul, reducing its resistance further.
Thus, Zhou Yan continued to use them repeatedly, tormenting Zhu Yan's soul, trying to make it submit.
But Zhu Yan, as expected of a Demigod-level ferocious beast, had strong resistance and soon woke up.
Before it could recover, it was once again struck by Dark Sky's invincible giant hammer.
Zhu Yan resisted again and again, woke up again and again, and was knocked out again and again by the relentless blows.
Nian Beast: I know this feeling.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded.
Ning Shuiqing asked, "Um, are you sure Zhou Yan is human and not a ferocious beast?"
Everyone: ...
An hour later, Zhu Yan successfully transformed into a beam of light and was collected by Zhou Yan, becoming the second giant demonic beast to be forcibly taken away, after the Nian Beast.
Zhou Yan walked towards Diao Chan and the others with a smile.
Before he could speak, Ning Shuiqing immediately stepped forward and said obediently, "I'm sorry, it was all my fault before. I apologize. I shouldn't have argued with you..."
Zhou Yan: "???"
Why had this little girl become so obedient?
