Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 402: Formidable Lineup!

Mu Yun paid Lin Xuan no mind. With a flicker of her figure, she instantly appeared before him and struck out with her palm. A blue light shone in its center, transforming into a curtain of water that enveloped Lin Xuan.

"Jade Water Spirit Palm."

Just as the attack was about to suppress him, Lin Xuan sneered disdainfully and waved his hand.

"Cyan Dragon Heaven Splitter Palm."

His hand transformed into a Dragon Claw, instantly tearing the water curtain apart and ripping off one of Mu Yun’s arms.

Mu Yun screamed miserably, clutching her severed arm as she retreated. "How is this possible? How could you injure me? How could your strength be so great?"

Mu Yun was truly stunned. Damn it, this Lin Xuan isn’t at the late three-star level; this is the strength of a four-star Grandmaster! It’s over. My intelligence was wrong. Her scalp tingled, and she turned to flee. She was no match for a four-star Grandmaster.

"Trying to leave now? It’s too late." Lin Xuan struck out with his palm. It transformed into the claw of a Cyan Dragon, blanketing the sky and earth as it instantly seized Mu Yun.

Powerless to resist, Mu Yun screamed in terror, "Let me go! My grandfather is a Grandmaster, and he’s right here! If you dare to kill me, you are doomed!"

Lin Xuan snorted coldly and tightened his grip. Instantly, Mu Yun’s body shattered, and blood gushed forth.

Mu Yun, terrified, began to beg for mercy. "Spare me! Spare my life!"

"How many Martial Artists from the Celestial King’s Mansion do you have here?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Outside the volcano, there are nine checkpoints, each with a ten-man squad."

"Inside the volcano, there are Grandmasters standing guard, and more than one."

"Lin Xuan, you can’t get in. You’d better leave quickly."

"Don’t worry, just let me go, and I’ll never say a word. I can swear an oath!"

"I only trust the dead," Lin Xuan snorted, crushing Mu Yun to death with a squeeze of his hand.

So the Celestial King actually set up an inescapable net here. It must be to stop others from trying to snatch the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire! It seems entering the volcano won’t be easy. But Lin Xuan had no intention of giving up. He prepared to release the Snake King and push his way through.

Just as he was thinking, a figure flew in from the distance, instantly arriving before him. The man stood in mid-air, his icy gaze locking onto Lin Xuan like a bolt of lightning. "You dared to kill my granddaughter? You are dead!"

A Grandmaster! Lin Xuan’s expression changed upon sensing this power, but he quickly composed himself. He snorted coldly. "Your granddaughter deserved to die!"

"You’re courting death!" Mu Shan was furious. This brat is tired of living! He killed my granddaughter and now he dares to provoke me? He snorted coldly, and a mighty power surged forth like a vast ocean, threatening to engulf Lin Xuan.

"Kid, once I catch you, I will torture you to death!" Mu Shan’s voice was icy and merciless.

But Lin Xuan replied with disdain, "Just a Grandmaster. You want to kill me? Dream on!"

Mu Shan was dumbfounded. Has this kid lost his mind, daring to ignore me? I’m a Grandmaster; killing him would be effortless. So why is he so unafraid, so arrogant? Could it be that he has powerful backing? Thinking of this, Mu Shan grew uncertain. He didn’t act, instead scanning his surroundings.

Lin Xuan indeed wasn’t afraid of a Grandmaster because he had the Snake King with him. If the Snake King appeared, it could swallow this man in a single gulp.

However, before Lin Xuan could release the Snake King, dark figures appeared in the distant sky, arriving nearby in an instant. They brought with them waves of powerful energy that swept across the area like a tsunami, sending the massive boulders below flying.

"You really do have backing!" Mu Shan’s face changed dramatically. In his eyes, these newcomers had to be Lin Xuan’s support. Their auras were incredibly strong; they were all Grandmasters!

Lin Xuan was also stunned. He was just as bewildered, as he didn’t recognize these people. Looking up, he saw that they were also dressed in black Cloaks that completely hid their figures.

The aura emanating from them was extremely terrifying. There were only four people, but three of them were Grandmasters! The figure at their center was even more mysterious.

Lin Xuan tried to use his Soul perception, but he couldn’t discern the person’s exact cultivation level. Could it be that his cultivation surpasses that of a Grandmaster? Could this person be a King? At this thought, Lin Xuan’s face filled with surprise.

A mysterious King, accompanied by three Grandmasters—this lineup is incredibly powerful. But why would such a strong team come to this volcano? Could their target also be the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire? It seems seizing the Anomalous Fire won’t be easy after all.

Across from them, Mu Shan looked shocked. When his gaze fell upon the mysterious figure in the center, he became as cautious as if facing a great enemy. He asked coldly, "Who are you, and why have you come here?"

"This Flame Mountain is the territory of our Celestial King’s Mansion. I must ask you all to leave!" This time, Mu Shan’s usual arrogance was gone, replaced by an extremely polite tone.

"You must be Elder Mu Shan of the Celestial King’s Mansion, correct? I won’t make things difficult for you. Step aside. You cannot stop me." The mysterious person in the center spoke, his voice steady and powerful, leaving no room for doubt. Judging from the sound, he wasn’t old; he sounded more like a middle-aged man.

Standing nearby, Lin Xuan was curious. Who could he be? There aren’t many Kings in the Great Xia Country! You could count them on one hand. Which faction does this King belong to?

Just as Lin Xuan was speculating on the mysterious King’s identity, Mu Shan’s expression changed. He didn’t expect the other party to recognize him instantly. It seems this person isn’t some unknown figure; they might even be someone I know.

"Who exactly are you?" Mu Shan pressed.

"Who I am is not for you to know."

"Then I cannot agree to your request. I am under orders from the Celestial King to guard this place and permit no one to enter." Mu Shan stood his ground. "Sir, please leave. Otherwise, you will make an enemy of the Celestial King’s Mansion."

"Hmph! Is the Celestial King’s Mansion so great?" one of the black-robed figures beside the leader interjected rudely. "Don’t flatter yourselves! Scram now, or I’ll chop you to pieces!"

The mysterious man in the center sighed. "If that’s how it is, then don’t blame us. Brother Chen, Brother Li, if you please."

"No problem," one replied.

The other snorted, "Hmph, I’ve been itching for a fight. Why waste words on him? With our strength, we can just kill our way through."

Two black-robed figures stepped forward, their power erupting. Mu Shan’s face changed drastically. He roared and took the initiative to attack, simultaneously bellowing, "Enemies are here! We need reinforcements!"

BOOM!

A thunderous roar echoed as Mu Shan was instantly sent flying, spitting up blood.

As he turned to run, he recognized them. "You’re the Thunderbolt Hand, Chen Benlei! And you’re the Blood-Eyed Mad Blade, Li Badao!"

These two are famous Grandmasters, but they belong to different families and sects. Why on earth have they teamed up? Who could possibly unite them? Mu Shan felt his scalp tingle with dread.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Chen Benlei and Li Badao moved quickly to intercept him.

"Let’s go as well," the mysterious person in the center said calmly. His figure flickered and rose into the air, with the two other black-robed figures following close behind. Soon, they all disappeared from sight.

After they left, another group arrived. These people also wore black robes, but their auras were much weaker; they were just ordinary Grandmasters.

One of the black-robed men approached Lin Xuan and lowered the hood of his Cloak. He was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen—Song Xingyun, the Alchemist King’s apprentice.

He said to Lin Xuan, "Kid, you’re lucky. If my master and the others hadn’t shown up, that Mu Shan would have already killed you. Since you’ve been granted a second chance at life, you should get out of here. This Flame Mountain is no place for a little ant like you."
