Chapter 1633 - 1633 1623 Testing Each Other

1633: Chapter 1623: Testing Each Other 1633: Chapter 1623: Testing Each Other “Forcefully separating the Hell Demon Dragon’s Dragonsoul is no small matter; we must be prepared,” said the Demon Dragon Palace Master to Yang Xuanhuang and Bai Fan.

Yang Xuanhuang and Bai Fan nodded slightly, clearly understanding the importance of the matter.

“By the way, Master, I’ve brought someone back with me.

His name is Sin Heaven.

He saved my life in Black Wudi Hell, and he is interested in joining the Demon Dragon Palace,” said Bai Fan to the Demon Dragon Palace Master.

“To be able to rescue you from the front of the Ghost-faced Ferocious Dragon, this person must indeed have some abilities.

However, not just anyone can join our Demon Dragon Palace,” the Palace Master said, then immediately asked, “Where is he right now?”

“In my courtyard.

He saved my life, and I promised to introduce him to you,” replied Bai Fan.

Yang Xuanhuang’s gaze flickered slightly, and after a moment of thought, he said, “Since such a character wishes to join the Demon Dragon Palace, why don’t we all go and see him?”

He too wanted to see what sort of person Long Yan was.

“Let’s go and see then,” agreed the Demon Dragon Palace Master, harboring the same thoughts as Yang Xuanhuang.

Presently, the three of them left the main hall and headed towards the courtyard where Long Yan was located.

………………

“Have they arrived?”

Inside the courtyard, Long Yan was sitting upright when he suddenly sensed three presences approaching the area, his lips curling into a naturally arching smile.

In less than a breath’s time, the Demon Dragon Palace Master and his two companions appeared in the courtyard.

“Yang Xuanhuang!”

Long Yan’s gaze immediately locked onto Yang Xuanhuang, recognizing him at once.

Yang Xuanhuang, a youth in a black robe, looked to be in his late twenties.

With his sharp, distinct features and a certain heroic air about him, one could observe a sinister aura between his brows, indicating he was no ordinary person.

As Long Yan sized up Yang Xuanhuang, Yang Xuanhuang was also examining Long Yan, a cold light flashing imperceptibly within his deep eyes.

“Greetings, Hall Master!”

Long Yan stood up and gave a fist-and-palm salute to the Demon Dragon Palace Master.

The Demon Dragon Palace Master, a middle-aged man with a robust presence, was a strong figure even beyond their realm.

Long Yan guessed that the Master’s cultivation was likely at the level of the Second Divine Calamity.

“With such strength, why have I never heard of you in the Burial Dragon Abyss?”

The Demon Dragon Palace Master looked at Long Yan, whose body emitted the aura of a Demon Cultivator.

In the Burial Dragon Abyss, the Master was somewhat familiar with all the powerful Demon Cultivators, but he had no recollection of Long Yan.

“I am but a person of no repute; naturally, the Demon Dragon Palace Master would not know of me,” Long Yan responded naturally, neither servile nor overbearing.

“Why do you wish to join the Demon Dragon Palace?” Yang Xuanhuang asked.

“I presume you are Yang Xuanhuang,” said Long Yan, shifting his gaze back onto Yang Xuanhuang and chuckling lightly, “Joining the Demon Dragon Palace is the best choice in the Burial Dragon Abyss; otherwise, why would Guardian Yang betray the Dragon God Ancient City to come here?”

Arrogant—that was Long Yan’s attitude at that moment.

“Are you trying to provoke me?”

Yang Xuanhuang’s gaze suddenly cooled, the word “betrayal” clearly being his taboo.

“Not at all, I am merely stating the facts,” replied Long Yan, his expression unchanged.

“If Guardian Yang can join the Demon Dragon Palace, surely there will be no problem with me joining.”

His tone remained arrogant, slightly disdainful of Yang Xuanhuang.

“You…”

Yang Xuanhuang’s gaze grew even colder, and beneath his black robe, his aura began to fluctuate.

At that moment, the Demon Dragon Palace Master stopped Yang Xuanhuang and said to Long Yan, “Do you truly wish to join the Demon Dragon Palace?”

From appearances alone, he hadn’t noticed anything amiss with Long Yan.

“Of course, if it weren’t for wanting to join the Demon Dragon Palace, I wouldn’t have come here.”

Long Yan nodded in response.

“You saved Guardian Bai’s life, which is a favor to my Demon Dragon Palace.

I can allow you to join the Demon Dragon Palace, but I want to see your strength first,”

the Demon Dragon Palace Master said.

“How does the Master wish to see it?”

Long Yan asked.

“You managed to save Guardian Bai from the Ghost-faced Ferocious Dragon, which proves you have some strength.

Thus, if you can withstand a move from Guardian Yang, you will become the Third Protector of the Demon Dragon Palace,”

the Demon Dragon Palace Master explained.

“Are your words true?”

Long Yan’s eyebrows twitched, which aligned with his intentions as he also wished to test Yang Xuanhuang’s strength.

“Certainly.”

The Demon Dragon Palace Master nodded, affirming his statement decisively.

“In that case, please enlighten me, Guardian Yang,”

Long Yan said to Yang Xuanhuang, his breath also fluctuating under his battle armor.

“If you can withstand one of my moves, you indeed qualify to join the Demon Dragon Palace.”

Yang Xuanhuang’s momentum also gradually permeated the air, his gaze sharpening, with dark demonic Qi forming into a dragon shape, enveloping his body.

The dark demonic Qi emanating from his body was much denser than Bai Fan’s.

At that instant, both the Demon Dragon Palace Master and Bai Fan stepped back a distance.

“Three Times Combat Power, increase!”

At that moment, Long Yan boosted his power by three times, his rolling demonic Qi bursting forth from within, his head of black hair moving without wind, resembling a Demon God.

“Great Destruction Palm!”

At the same time, Long Yan unleashed the Space Principle, condensing a Great Destruction Palm and striking toward Yang Xuanhuang, with vast authority surging out.

With his current strength, bolstered by Three Times Combat Power and deploying the Great Destruction Palm, he was also formidable, definitely possessing the strength to slay those at the Peak of the Emperor Realm.

The Great Destruction Palm crashed down, fracturing the space itself, its formidable momentum enveloping all.

“Break apart for me!”

In a split second, Yang Xuanhuang punched out, his demonic Qi like a bursting river flowing from his fist, with a dragon-shaped Legal Imprint enhancing it.

“Boom!”

Instantly, Yang Xuanhuang’s punch collided with the Great Destruction Palm released by Long Yan, the powerful impact causing a sonic boom that shattered the surrounding space, trembling the entire courtyard.

In that instant, the Great Destruction Palm shattered, and the force of Yang Xuanhuang’s punch hit Long Yan’s body.

“Thud thud thud!”

Long Yan’s figure trembled, stepping back five steps before barely stabilizing his stance, leaving behind footprints of varying depth on the ground.

“Power of Space.”

Yang Xuanhuang withdrew his fist, murmuring softly to himself.

Long Yan’s move clearly utilized the Power of Space, and moreover, he could tell that Long Yan’s comprehension of the Power of Space had reached a very high level.

“Guardian Yang, thank you for showing mercy!”

Long Yan gathered his momentum and slightly bowed to Yang Xuanhuang.

This encounter, although he had been at a disadvantage, still counted as having withstood Yang Xuanhuang’s move, thus passing the test.

Yang Xuanhuang’s strength was indeed formidable; from just now’s move, it was clear that Yang Xuanhuang’s strength surpassed Bai Fan’s by a significant margin, and quite possibly, Yang Xuanhuang still had hidden reserves of strength.

Should a real battle arise, even with his full might, Long Yan might not necessarily be Yang Xuanhuang’s match.
