Though a hint of surprise flickered in his heart, the young man's strength was by no means inferior. With a cold snort, a terrifying aura erupted from him!
"Golden Dragon Sky-Shattering Palm!"
"Roar!"
With the young man's sharp shout, his palms suddenly met, and then the golden light on his palms rapidly condensed, transforming into two hundred-zhang golden dragons!
Hiss!
With a roar, these two hundred-zhang golden dragons charged directly at the dark purple, the Purple Extreme Demonic Snake.
Bang bang bang!
Two deafening explosions sounded as the Purple Extreme Demonic Snake and the golden dragons collided fiercely in an instant, unleashing a violent clash.
Furthermore, this collision triggered a fierce storm!
"This kid's strength is indeed formidable!"
Seeing the collision between the golden dragons and the Purple Extreme Demonic Snake, Zhou Yan's expression shifted slightly.
He had originally thought that with the sharpness of his sword, he would surely be able to defeat the young man. But to his surprise, the young man was able to withstand his full-force attack. This point did indeed catch him slightly off guard.
Of course, Zhou Yan knew clearly that if his physical body were not more robust than that of ordinary martial artists of the same level, he would have long since been defeated.
However, even so, the young man did not gain any advantage. Instead, he was forced to retreat continuously, and a look of shock appeared in his purple eyes.
"Good kid, it seems you indeed have some tricks up your sleeve. I must admit I admire you! However, now that you have fallen into my hands, your fate is sealed. No matter how you struggle, you cannot escape the doom of death!"
The young man's face flushed red as he spoke word by word.
Hearing the young man's words, Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "You should be the one saying that. Your strength is nothing special. Did you really think I could only rely on the power of this Purple Extreme Demonic Snake?"
As he spoke, Zhou Yan extended his right palm, and a pitch-black spiritual energy emanated from his palm, rapidly condensing, and finally transforming into a colossal pitch-black greatsword, a hundred zhang in size!
Upon seeing this pitch-black greatsword, the young man's pupils contracted sharply, and then he exclaimed in shock, "Spiritual Weapon? This kid actually has a Spiritual Weapon!"
Although the young man was shocked, he did not feel fear, because in this area, no one dared to attack him, not even the elders.
Moreover, his background was immensely deep. Even the elders of the Demonic Emperor Palace did not dare to provoke him easily. He was one of the three young masters within the Demonic Sect, holding the status of a direct disciple of a Demonic Sect elder.
However, this scene, when witnessed by those Demonic Emperor Palace disciples, caused them to widen their eyes in disbelief.
"How many treasures does this kid have on him?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling he definitely has more than one treasure!"
"What are we going to do? If this kid escapes, won't our Demonic Emperor Palace lose face completely?"
"That's not right. This guy is clearly here to cause trouble. If we let him go, our Demonic Emperor Palace might become a joke throughout the entire Demonic Sect. That won't do!"
"Are you just going to stand there and watch that young man take your master away?"
"This..."
The Demonic Emperor Palace disciples fell into a state of conflicted deliberation. Ultimately, however, they did not make a decision. After all, Zhou Yan's strength was undeniable. If they rashly intervened, they would likely be killed by Zhou Yan.
However, after a long period of hesitation, the few Demonic Emperor Palace disciples exchanged glances, and finally, one of them stepped forward, cupped his fists in a salute to Zhou Yan, and said, "Brother Zhou Yan, would you be willing to become friends with us?"
Zhou Yan glanced at the Demonic Emperor Palace disciple, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly replied, "I can."
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's reply, the Demonic Emperor Palace disciple's eyes lit up. He then smiled and said, "Since Brother Zhou Yan is willing to befriend us, that's wonderful. Brother Zhou Yan, please!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan nodded, his figure flashed, and he followed the Demonic Emperor Palace disciple towards the depths of the Demonic Mountain.
"Brother Zhou Yan, this time, our Demonic Emperor Palace is acting under the orders of our Demonic Palace Master and has specifically come to invite you. Therefore, we hope Brother Zhou Yan will not refuse our invitation. Would you grace us with your presence?"
Looking at Zhou Yan, the few Demonic Emperor Palace disciples quickly said.
"Oh? And who does your Demonic Palace Master intend to send?" Zhou Yan asked indifferently.
Hearing Zhou Yan's question, the Demonic Emperor Palace disciples looked somewhat awkward. They then said with a wry smile, "To be honest with Brother Zhou Yan, besides inviting you, we actually have another purpose this time."
"What purpose?" Zhou Yan asked lightly.
At this, the Demonic Emperor Palace disciples fell silent. However, soon, the disciple named Liu Tiancheng, a disciple of the Demonic Emperor Palace, spoke, "It's because Brother Zhou Yan has displayed outstanding talent in the depths of the Demonic Mountain. Our Demonic Emperor Palace wishes to form a marital alliance with you!"
A marital alliance?
Upon hearing Liu Tiancheng's words, Zhou Yan's brow furrowed.
"Heh heh, Brother Zhou Yan, our Demonic Emperor Palace is considered a top-tier sect within the Demonic Sect, and our strength is not inferior to any other sect. Forming a marital alliance with you now would naturally be beneficial and without drawbacks for our Demonic Emperor Palace. As for your Purple Extreme Demonic Snake, it is also a potent weapon, and our Demonic Emperor Palace requires helpers like you."
The Demonic Emperor Palace disciple named Liu Tiancheng continued to persuade.
Zhou Yan looked at the Demonic Emperor Palace disciple, a trace of anger rising in his eyes. However, he ultimately suppressed it, because, at present, his strength was still far from matching the Demonic Emperor Palace.
Therefore, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said, "A marital alliance?"
"Heh heh, since that is the case, then I naturally cannot refuse the wishes of the Demonic Emperor Palace. I will agree to form a marital alliance with your esteemed residence," Zhou Yan said calmly.
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, a hint of joy appeared on Liu Tiancheng's face.
"Then thank you, Brother Zhou Yan, for your cooperation," Liu Tiancheng said, cupping his fists in a respectful salute.
"Then I trouble Senior Liu Tiancheng. I am Zhou Yan." Zhou Yan nodded.
"Brother Zhou Yan is too polite," Liu Tiancheng also nodded.
"Brother Zhou Yan, I will go and report to my master first. We will meet later."
"Yes, thank you, Senior Liu Tiancheng," Zhou Yan replied with a nod.
Liu Tiancheng then turned and walked towards the depths of the Demonic Mountain.
Watching Liu Tiancheng's retreating back, a mocking curve appeared on Zhou Yan's lips. "Hmph, wanting me to form a marital alliance with your Demonic Emperor Palace? Truly wishful thinking. Your Demonic Emperor Palace is only confined to the area of this Demonic Mountain."
