Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 709: Chapter 707: Turning Their Trick Against Them

Within the void, Lin Xuan and his companions were flying when a purple fog suddenly surged in and enveloped them. Lin Xuan felt a blur before his eyes, then everything went dark. He was surrounded by the purple mist. He stopped quickly and turned his head, only to find that Lu Jiu and Ning Xue, who had been right beside him, were also nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you?" Lin Xuan shouted, but there was no response.

What’s going on? Lin Xuan frowned.

Lin Xuan wasn’t the only one who was surprised; Ning Xue and Lu Jiu were equally astonished. They too felt a blur before their eyes as the fog enveloped them, and they couldn’t see anything.

"Lin Xuan, where are you?" Ning Xue called out, but again, there was no response.

The same thing happened to the hidden fourth-level Disciples—Mo Fan, Ning Yu, and Zhan Hu. Even the fourth-level Disciples following Jin Ze were shrouded by the purple fog. It was as if they had all entered a maze of mist, unable to see anyone else.

Ning Yu was extremely worried. How could this be? What is going on?

Mo Fan’s expression was grim. "Could it be that a top expert from the Demon Sect has arrived?" he said. "Damn it, even we are trapped. The newcomer is probably stronger than a four-star Grandmaster."

The thought of this possibility made their expressions darken. What awaits us?

"Finally, they’re all trapped." A smile curled the lips of the two six-star Grandmasters from the Jin Family. With a flicker, they entered the fog as well. They easily found Lin Xuan and descended from the sky, appearing right before him.

The sudden arrival of these two figures startled Lin Xuan. He immediately went on guard and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Have experts from the Demon Sect arrived? Lin Xuan wondered. After all, the two men before him wore black robes and appeared incredibly mysterious.

"You are that Lin Xuan?" one of the two experts from the Jin Family asked, looking down on him condescendingly.

Lin Xuan was taken aback. People from the Demon Sect wouldn’t know my name.

As a realization dawned on him, he asked coldly, "Are you from the Jin Family?"

"Kid, you’re pretty smart to have guessed our origin." The two elders removed their cloaks, revealing the faces of two old men. "That’s right," one admitted. "We are from the Jin Family."

"You offended our Jin Family, so you must die," the other declared. "Do you have any last words?"

The two looked down on him, completely disregarding him. As six-star Grandmasters, killing Lin Xuan would be as easy as turning over a hand.

Lin Xuan’s expression grew grim. The Jin Family again. They’re truly despicable, trying to assassinate me time and time again. But so what?

Lin Xuan sneered. "Only the two of you came? You won’t be enough to kill me."

What? The two six-star Grandmasters were stunned.

"Not enough to kill you?"

"How laughable."

"This kid must be out of his mind."

"So arrogant even when facing death. How foolish."

"I’ll make sure to capture him and torture him to death later."

The two elders’ expressions darkened.

Lin Xuan, however, just sneered. "Do you two have any last words? If not, I’ll send you to hell to reunite with Jin Yao."

Hearing this, the two six-star Grandmasters frowned. What does he mean? It sounds like he’s the one who killed Jin Yao.

As if reading their minds, Lin Xuan confirmed, "That’s right. I killed Jin Yao."

What? The two six-star Grandmasters were dumbfounded, but they quickly shook their heads and sneered.

"Utter nonsense."

"Who do you think you are? How could you kill Jin Yao?"

Jin Yao was a five-star Grandmaster. No matter how strong this kid is, it’s impossible for him to kill a five-star Grandmaster.

"Enough talk. Let’s capture him and torture him to death."

The two six-star Grandmasters reached out, their palms striking towards Lin Xuan. The attack descended from the sky like a great mountain. As Lin Xuan felt its power, his blood began to surge.

So terrifying. They’re worthy of being six-star Grandmasters. Indeed, they’re strong.

BOOM.

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xuan summoned the Snake King.

A small snake appeared. In an instant, its body swelled, transforming into a giant python that coiled in the void. When the two six-star Grandmasters saw this, the color drained from their faces.

This aura... A King! It’s the Snake King! Damn it, this kid actually has a Snake King with him! We have to run!

The two decisively turned to flee. Even if they joined forces, they would be no match for the Snake King. This was a true King. Below a King, all are but ants; they stood no chance. It seems Jin Yao really did die at his hands. We thought he was just blowing hot air when he claimed to have killed Jin Yao, but it was actually true!

The two fled for their lives, but it was too late. The Snake King let out a disdainful hiss and exhaled a plume of frost, instantly freezing them into solid blocks of ice.

"Hmph, problem solved," Lin Xuan sneered.

At this moment, the big black dog’s voice sounded in his mind. "Kid, this purple fog is actually quite a good thing. It’s called the Purple Smoke Sky Net."

"Once you’re enveloped by it, it’s like entering a maze of mist. Those with weaker strength will find it difficult to escape, and they won’t be able to perceive what’s happening elsewhere."

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up. This really is a good thing! He was about to collect the Purple Smoke Sky Net, but after a moment of thought, he decided against it.

This must be a Treasure of the Jin Family. The two elders released the Purple Smoke Sky Net to trap the hidden fourth-level Disciples. That way, they could assassinate me without anyone from the Sacred Institute discovering who was behind it. The Jin Family’s plan was indeed flawless, but they made one fatal miscalculation: they never expected a King to be guarding me.

Now, Lin Xuan prepared to use the Jin Family’s plan to execute his own. Since the Purple Smoke had already trapped the hidden fourth-level Disciples, he could now make his move without any inhibitions. He was going to deal with Jin Ze.

The Jin Family was only able to track me down because Jin Ze tipped them off. Without a doubt, he must be nearby.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan said to the Snake King, "Get me out of this fog."

With a sweep of its tail, the Snake King enveloped Lin Xuan in a powerful force, sending him flying into the distance.

Soon, he flew out of the purple fog.

Not far from the mist, Jin Ze was waiting eagerly. This move by the family is failproof. That kid is doomed. The elders might even torture him until he wishes he were dead.

Just as he was thinking this, the fog churned, and a figure stepped out from within.

Jin Ze immediately grew excited. It must be one of the elders! It looks like they’ve already dealt with Lin Xuan! Fantastic!

He hurriedly rushed forward to greet them.
