Chapter 41 Taming the Little Golden Crow Divine Eagle
Comparable to the ancient Ancestor Dragon?
Feasting on an Ancestor Dragon?
Xu Nian's heart was also shocked to the core. If he really managed to subdue this future Super Divine Beast, wouldn't he have a Super Divine Beast as his enforcer in the future?
At this thought, Xu Nian felt his blood boiling, and his sword met the Black Hawk swooping down from the sky without hesitation.
However, this time, the Black Hawk did not claw at Xu Nian but slashed at him with its black, hard feathers.
Xu Nian's eyes sparkled with determination as he immediately executed the Ling Feng Thirteen Swords.
The sword light was cold and emitted a trembling sound.
Xu Nian's sword directly collided with the Black Hawk's feathers, making a clang as if two fine metals struck each other!
But still, the immense force from the wings pushed Xu Nian back dozens of steps.
"Boom!"
A nearby large tree was directly struck by the Black Hawk's wings, instantly cut into two neat halves.
"How fast, and how hard those feathers are!" Xu Nian marveled in his heart.
This Black Hawk was truly out of the ordinary. The feathers of an ordinary Black Iron Eagle were also very hard, but they certainly weren't sharp and tough enough to contend with Xuan Iron.
Yet, when this Black Hawk's feathers collided with the Xuan Iron Sword in Xu Nian's hand, not a single mark was left.
One could imagine just how hard those black feathers were.
"Whoosh!"
The Black Hawk, repelled, attacked Xu Nian again.
The incredibly sharp feathers met a black long knife, continuously slashing towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian relied on his Gale Dragon Step to continuously dodge, and the trees and ground around him were covered with ravines, all created by the Black Hawk's feathers.
Of course, Xu Nian also fought back, but the Xuan Iron Sword hacking at the Black Hawk had no effect whatsoever, meaning that the Black Hawk could completely ignore his attacks.
"Kid, try to get on the back of that Black Hawk. Its neck is its weakest point," Emperor Ye Tian's voice echoed in Xu Nian's mind.
Currently, Emperor Ye Tian had returned to the Jade Pendant, and Xu Nian's battle was entirely within her view.
"Alright!" Xu Nian agreed decisively.
At the same time, the Black Hawk swooped towards Xu Nian from afar, its wings outstretched and slashing horizontally at him.
"Perfect timing!"
Seeing this, the corner of Xu Nian's mouth revealed a cold smile. He then sheathed his Xuan Iron Sword at his waist, and took advantage of the Black Hawk's incoming attack to leap, landing directly on the back of the Black Hawk.
But it wasn't as simple as Xu Nian thought. The Black Hawk's back was much smoother than he had imagined, so the moment he jumped on, he immediately face-planted into the ground. Had it not been for Xu Nian's quick reaction, grabbing onto a feather covered with Dragon Energy with his palm, he might have fallen right off the Black Hawk's back.
"Chirp!"
The Black Hawk, realizing that a human had jumped onto its back, let out a high-pitched and clear call, obviously unable to tolerate a human stepping on its back, and thus it raced through the forest at high speed, seemingly trying to shake Xu Nian off.
But Xu Nian held onto the Black Hawk's neck for dear life, refusing to let go.
At the same time, Xu Nian's fist greeted the Black Hawk's neck with a series of thunderous punches.
The black hawk constantly let out screams of agony, clearly in excruciating pain from Xu Nian's attack.
"Get down!"
Xu Nian smashed and shouted at the same time.
Right now, he was in the air, many of his techniques were restricted; only by making this black hawk land could he fully unleash his abilities to subdue the Demon Beast.
"Cheep!"
The black hawk issued a piercing cry, seemingly protesting against Xu Nian, its body continuously twisting and turning in the air, trying to throw Xu Nian off its back.
However, Xu Nian's one hand was firmly gripping its neck, while the other hand clenched into a fist, releasing a burst of Divine Demon Gang Qi in a fierce barrage of blows.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Blood soon began seeping through the hawk's feathers, indicating it had sustained significant injuries.
Although Xu Nian couldn't break through those tough feathers, the formidable power of his punches still passed through to the black hawk's body. Soon, it could no longer withstand Xu Nian's attacks and crashed onto the ground.
Seeing this, Xu Nian was overjoyed; he let go of one hand and continued pounding, pinning the struggling black eagle firmly to the ground.
What of a super Divine Beast?
It was still incredibly weak now, and besides, Xu Nian's cultivation was that of a Divine Demon Body Refiner, whose strength was no less than that of a Divine Beast.
"Cheep..."
The black hawk uttered a series of pitiful cries before finally falling to the ground, unable to get up.
Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief; the relentless pounding had also taken a huge toll on him. For an ordinary Body Cultivation practitioner, even an eight-star in the Body Cultivation Star Realm might not have been able to subdue this black hawk.
"Young man, take out the Demon Beast Ring from your Hundred Treasure Bag; it's specifically designed to subdue Demon Beasts," the voice of Emperor Ye Tian rang out once again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian did not hesitate, opened his Hundred Treasure Bag, and took out the Demon Beast Ring. He bit his finger and let his fresh blood drip onto the Demon Beast Ring.
The Demon Beast Ring immediately emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the black hawk under Xu Nian.
After struggling a few times in reluctance, the black hawk was absorbed into the light from the Demon Beast Ring.
The moment the black hawk entered the Demon Beast Ring, Xu Nian instantly felt a new connection forming in his mind with the black hawk, realizing he could now control its life and death.
At the same time,
"Ow... ow..." a childish, whiny voice sounded in Xu Nian's mind.
"Huh?" Xu Nian was baffled, but he quickly realized that it was the voice of the black hawk – he had never imagined it to be a mere fledgling.
"Little Black Hawk, what's your name?" Xu Nian communicated with the hawk using his mind.
Now that he had formed a master-servant contract with the black hawk, they could communicate telepathically, just as he did with the Yetian God Emperor.
"I... don't have a name. I was born in this forest, alone and hungry," the black hawk replied in its childish voice, timidness laced within.
Xu Nian was taken aback by this revelation, the black hawk, like him, was an orphan.
"How about this? From now on, I'll be your big brother, and I'll give you a name, okay?" Xu Nian cajoled as if luring a child.
"Okay!" the black hawk answered in its youthful voice.
"My surname is Xu, so you'll share it. How about Xu Yu?" Xu Nian suggested with a smile through his mental transmission.
"Good, good, good, I have a name now! Big brother, I'm really hungry, can we go find something to eat?" the Little Golden Crow Divine Eagle said.
Xu Nian couldn't help but give a wry smile – why did it feel like he hadn't subdued a super Divine Beast, but had actually picked up a son?
