Several people looked at the battle between An Tian and the mythical beast, the Nian.
An Tian, in its true form, was exceptionally majestic. Looking down from above, it appeared quite proud. As a divine beast of the Dragon race, An Tian indeed had the capital for arrogance.
"Take this, Black Dragon Claw!"
An Tian extended a claw, which grew to a hundred meters in size, covering the entire sky as it pressed down on the Nian.
The Nian was not to be outdone. As a max-level divine beast, its own strength was considerable. It condensed a terrifying inferno in its mouth and spat it out, forming an inferno shaped like a Nian hundreds of meters large, which was truly astonishing.
"Bang!"
The two energies were evenly matched. After a few seconds of stalemate, they exploded into an energy storm. Strangely, the Nian's flames were peculiar. Upon falling into the forest, instead of burning the trees, they made them more vibrant.
"What peculiar flames. They seem to only harm enemies. This is quite environmentally friendly. I really want to keep one. Let it spray fire in the spirit fields of my territory every day, that would be quite nice."
Witnessing the peculiar nature of the Nian's flames, Zhou Yan suddenly had a bold idea. (*￣︶￣)
Zhou Yan said this, took out a contract talisman, and then said to Jin Ye, "You stay with Liu Li for a while. I'll try to see if this Nian can be captured."
"You even dare to set your sights on the Nian? Why are you so obsessed with capturing other species!" Jin Ye was speechless. It flitted to Liu Li's shoulder, sniffed the scent on Liu Li, and asked, "What is this smell?" ヽ(°▽、°)ﾉ
"This is perfume. Chan and the others gave it to me, saying that girls who wear it will be more beautiful," Liu Li replied.
"Is it like what people spray in movies?" Jin Ye asked. "(￣(エ)￣)ゞ"
"Yes, I tried it. It's quite fragrant and feels nice. It's made from various spirit medicines from the territory. Only those within the imperial palace can use it." Liu Li casually took out a bottle of perfume. Jin Ye took it, looked at it, then remembered how it was used in movies and pressed the spray button.
A cloud of perfume sprayed directly into Jin Ye's nose and eyes.
Then.
"Achoo!" Jin Ye immediately sneezed and said, "My eyes." (t▽t)
Liu Li quickly picked up the dropped perfume bottle and said, "Young Master, why did you spray it at your own nose and eyes?"
"It's my first time using it." Jin Ye's eyes quickly recovered. It was made from spirit medicines and contained no toxic components. Even if it were toxic, with Jin Ye's immortal beast physique, it would be ineffective unless the poison was extremely potent.
They looked at Zhou Yan, wanting to see if he could actually capture the Nian.
An Tian and the Nian's battle was fierce. The strength of a max-level divine beast was indeed formidable, comparable to An Tian's current combat power. It would take An Tian some time to subdue it.
Zhou Yan went behind the Nian. Fearing that a single talisman might not work, he held several in each hand. Whether he would succeed or not, Zhou Yan had no certainty. After all, one needed experimentation and research to know the outcome of anything.
Cheers for scientific exploration!
The Nian's senses were quite sharp. It soon detected Zhou Yan's presence and began to guard against him.
Since that was the case, Zhou Yan directly used spatial magic to conceal himself within space, masking his aura. This way, even the Nian would not be able to easily detect him. Zhou Yan felt he could also be an assassin devoid of emotion.
When the Nian could no longer sense Zhou Yan, it focused on fighting An Tian, as An Tian was indeed putting a lot of pressure on it.
Zhou Yan was waiting for an opportunity, and it came quickly. An Tian unleashed a powerful dark magic spell, creating a stalemate with the Nian.
"Now!" Zhou Yan appeared, using spatial teleportation magic to reach the Nian's head and unleashed a powerful mental force to influence it. Then he took out a large hammer, bigger than the Nian's head. As Zhou Yan wielded it, he brought it crashing down.
"Bang!"
The Nian's entire head felt off. Dizzy, its body rapidly fell towards the ground. Then, An Tian's attack landed on the Nian's body, inflicting a secondary critical blow. But it wasn't over yet.
Zhou Yan used scrolls again, sending them flying towards the Nian one by one. Each scroll transformed into a stream of light that surged into the Nian's body. The Nian felt utterly miserable. Not only was its head spinning, but even moving was incredibly difficult. If it could speak, it would definitely curse them for their lack of martial ethics.
"Rumble!"
The Nian crashed onto the ground, crushing countless ancient trees and kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Now!" Zhou Yan finally used a pet scroll and sent it towards the Nian.
However, the scroll failed.
"It just failed. It seems it can still be captured. It's just a matter of success rate." Zhou Yan pondered. As a scientist, how could he give up because of a minor failure?
So, Zhou Yan threw the giant hammer towards An Tian and said, "An Tian, if this Nian wakes up, just hit its head. Just knock it unconscious."
Nian: I thank you very much!
An Tian: 彡(-_-;)彡
Liu Li: (ŎдŎ；)
Jin Ye: ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ
"Understood!" An Tian took the hammer, ready to strike the Nian at any moment.
After giving instructions, Zhou Yan took out a stack of scrolls, at least a hundred of them. Before Zhou Yan could use them, the Nian's head began to react. It groggily lifted its head, wanting to get up.
"Bang!"
An Tian raised the large hammer and with a whoosh, directly hammered the Nian. The Nian blissfully fainted. Fortunately, it was a max-level divine beast with considerable strength and a tough head. Otherwise, being smashed by a dragon like this would surely have broken its head and sent it to a veterinary psychiatric hospital.
Zhou Yan began using the scrolls on the Nian, one after another, but they all failed. After dozens of scrolls, the Nian began to stir again.
"Bang!"
An Tian, without hesitation, again brought the hammer down on the Nian's head! Then, Zhou Yan was seen failing repeatedly, while An Tian kept hammering the Nian's head. As An Tian struck, it actually started to chuckle, clearly enjoying the taste of tormenting... the Nian. Meanwhile, Liu Li and Jin Ye watched, dumbfounded, feeling that the Nian was being brutally bullied.
Nian: (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
Zhou Yan did not forget to remind, "Don't kill it, just knock it out."
"Understood. I've found my rhythm now. My strikes are measured."
Nian: I thank you all very much!
