Xu Nian hadn't expected the Wentian Demon Sovereign to propose such a thing to him.
Indeed, Lin Ruolan was not an easy opponent to deal with.
But wouldn't cooperating with her be even more dangerous?
Who knows if she'd stab you in the back.
Moreover, wasn't the soul of the demon lord what the Wentian Demon Sovereign wanted?
If they really did cooperate with Lin Ruolan, wouldn't the final prize, the soul, be snatched away by her?
Seeming to have read Xu Nian's thoughts, the Wentian Demon Sovereign opened his mouth and said, "Rest assured on this matter. She doesn't know of my existence. Let her make her move first, I'll wait to reap the rewards at the end, she'll definitely not be able to steal the soul of that demon lord."
Upon hearing the words of the Wentian Demon Sovereign, Xu Nian pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Okay!"
"How about it? Junior Brother, have you decided?" Lin Ruolan asked with a smile.
Yan Sha and Wu Fenglan both shook their heads at Xu Nian, clearly thinking that Lin Ruolan was very dangerous.
Cooperating with her was definitely a risk.
"Fine, I agree to cooperate with you," Xu Nian said, disregarding their objections and agreeing directly.
Yan Sha and Wu Fenglan frowned at this.
Lin Ruolan's face, however, revealed a seductive smile as she said, "Junior Brother Xu Nian is indeed a smart person."
But Xu Nian simply gave a cold smile.
He transmitted his voice to Yan Sha and Wu Fenglan, "Sister Yan Sha, senior, take care later. This demoness is very strong and has many tricks. She has been possessed by a powerful old monster, so be extremely wary of her."
"If it's so dangerous, why did you still agree to her?" Yan Sha quickly asked.
"I think Xu Nian is right to do this. We cooperate with her to borrow her strength first, then we'll concentrate our power to deal with her later," Wu Fenglan, undoubtedly a seasoned fighter, was clearly more mature than Yan Sha in her thinking.
"Exactly, with our strength alone, it's very difficult to defeat that final demon lord, so we need her strength. But don't worry, I have methods to counter her, she won't succeed when the time comes," Xu Nian continued to transmit his voice.
After hearing his words, Yan Sha and Wu Fenglan were finally reassured.
Then, the group of four proceeded into the depths of the territory.
Soon they arrived at the deepest part of this territory.
Located here was a massive palace.
The entire palace was permeated with a powerful evil aura.
If Xu Nian's guess was correct, this palace should be the location sealing the demon lord.
And the corpse of that Divine Demon was probably also within this grand hall.
However, outside the hall stood four figures.
These figures each exuded a strong aura of malevolence, each of which was quite formidable.
Two of them were of One-star Battle Emperor Level, while the other two were surprisingly Three-star Battle Emperors.
Their eyes were pitch-black, clearly, they had been possessed by Evil Spirits, just like Wu Fenglan had been earlier.
Feeling the approach of Xu Nian and his group, the Four Evil Spirits controlling the Battle Emperors also looked towards Xu Nian and the others.
"Intruders, this is not where you belong, get out!" one of the Three-star Battle Emperors bellowed.
Xu Nian and the others all frowned.
"It looks like if we want to enter this palace, we have to go through a big battle first. How about it, there are exactly four of them, with one of the Three-star Battle Emperors for me, and the rest for you, how does that sound?" Lin Ruolan said with a smile.
Xu Nian did not object.
This was the best arrangement.
"I'll take on the other Three-star Battle Emperor," Wu Fenglan declared.
Xu Nian and Yan Sha exchanged glances and both nodded.
The remaining two One-star Battle Emperors were naturally one for each of them.
Lin Ruolan let out a light cry, her figure was the first to spring out, confronting a Three-star Battle Emperor Expert.
Wu Fenglan naturally also made a move, taking on another Three-star Battle Emperor.
The two One-star Battle Emperors then charged towards Xu Nian and Yan Sha.
"Be careful!" Yan Sha tossed this word to Xu Nian, then immediately swung her Scepter charging towards a One-star Battle Emperor.
Xu Nian, however, faced the charging One-star Battle Emperor, took a step forward, Dragon Energy instantly surged, and Blood-colored Dragon Scales suddenly emerged.
"I'll use you to test just how strong this body of mine really is," Xu Nian roared and threw a punch at the One-star Battle Emperor.
Although that One-star Battle Emperor had been possessed by an Evil Spirit, the spirit also possessed its own consciousness.
So, when he saw that Xu Nian's aura was actually that of a Nine-star Body Saint, his eyes clearly flashed with a hint of disdain.
He directly summoned the malevolent energy within his body to meet Xu Nian's punch head-on.
A loud explosion sounded.
The Battle Emperor only felt an incredibly terrifying force pouring down from his arm, then the malevolent energy on his fist instantly dispersed, and he was thrown backward in an instant.
"How is this possible?"
The Battle Emperor was clearly surprised; he hadn't expected that this youth, with merely the cultivation of a Nine-star Body Saint, could burst forth with such frightening power.
"To be surprised now is a bit early, isn't it?" Xu Nian said with a light laugh.
His figure instantly turned into a blood-colored afterimage, appearing directly in front of the Battle Emperor.
The Battle Emperor was visibly startled, hastily daring not to show the slightest negligence.
He directly mobilized all the malevolent energy in his body and struck towards Xu Nian with a palm.
Xu Nian, seeing this, flashed a hint of a light smile.
He directly grabbed hold of the Battle Emperor's wrist, jerking the arm.
At the same time, his knee fiercely struck out.
Xu Nian's knee directly hit the Battle Emperor's abdomen.
Making the Battle Emperor's eyes bulge, blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.
However, Xu Nian did not stop there; he directly threw another punch.
With the enhancement from the Scale Armor, the punch became unimaginably terrifying. With one blow,
the Battle Emperor's flesh immediately bulged, and he was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
Xu Nian, watching the Battle Emperor fly backward, had an excited smile on his face.
After the breakthrough in his Body Cultivation, he had felt his strength surge considerably.
But at that time, there had been no fighting, so he couldn't fully experience it.
Now, he had finally seized an opportunity.
Yet unexpectedly, he hadn't even used his full strength,
and this One-star Battle Emperor had been battered to the point of having no strength to fight back.
It had to be said, in this moment, Xu Nian felt all the more how incredibly powerful the force granted by this Blood-colored Armor was.
The Battle Emperor spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes looking towards Xu Nian filled with boundless rage.
"I'm going to kill you!"
A dense malevolence burst out manically from his body.
Xu Nian, seeing this, not only didn't show a hint of fear, but rather revealed an excited smile.
Looking at the Battle Emperor Expert, he said, "Come on then, let me see how much of my real strength you can withstand."
Xu Nian's words were extremely arrogant, but they carried a strong sense of confidence.
Now, if he were to encounter that old Taoist again, he could beat him down with his fists alone until he called him grandpa.
The Battle Emperor roared in anger.
Then he charged rapidly towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian merely smiled faintly, as a dense Power of Earth gathered on his arm, forming a halo.
Xu Nian let out a ferocious shout, and his fist shot out in an instant.
The Battle Emperor hadn't even approached when he was struck by Xu Nian's punch.
There was only a loud explosion.
That One-star Battle Emperor was crushed into a pulp!
