Chapter 126: Chapter 126: The Melee BeginsThe roaring flames wrapped around Mu Can, as if a sun was shining in the sky, causing the few spectators below to squint slightly to protect their eyes from the dazzling sunlight. Inside Mu Can’s body, the red dragon that swirled around the Dragon Ball was spinning at an extreme speed, turning into a frenetic crimson streak. "What is he planning to do? Is he trying to roast himself?" Li Xuan, having transformed into a Sword Tao Long Sword, watched Mu Can with confusion. To him, Mu Can must have been planning to use some technique against him, but seeing Mu Can’s current condition, even Li Xuan was a bit perplexed. If there was anyone among the onlookers who could understand Mu Can’s intentions, it would undoubtedly be Purple Cloud. "This little brat, could he be trying to use the Alchemy Technique to refine the longsword?" Purple Cloud mumbled to himself, puzzled. "Nine Dragons Cauldron." With a low growl from Mu Can, flames burst forth from his body, instantly forming a Giant Cauldron in the air, trapping Li Xuan within. The Giant Cauldron was exquisitely crafted with nine Giant Dragons coiled around it, each with a different demeanor, lifelike in their appearance. "Let’s see how you can get out now." Mu Can was actually planning to completely refine Li Xuan, and he intended to do it through alchemy. The Sword Tao Long Sword within the Nine Dragons Cauldron started to slam against its sides wildly. "Don’t even think about coming out." In truth, Mu Can did feel a trace of compassion for Li Xuan, but in a place like Death Space, it was either you die or I die, so there was no room for Mu Can to show mercy. Had Mu Can not been able to withstand Li Xuan’s attack earlier, he might have been the one lying on the ground right now. "The greatest respect for an enemy is to put all your effort into taking him down." Mu Can thought to himself. "Refine." The nine dragons on the Nine Dragons Cauldron seemed to come alive, circling the cauldron’s body as the temperature rose steadily. If Li Xuan had not been transformed into a sword, Mu Can really wouldn’t have thought of this move, and he was curious about what might happen after refining this treasured sword. "Thinking of refining me? It won’t be that easy." Li Xuan roared within the cauldron. Warriors perish in battle; the best fate for a Cultivator is to die in combat, but Li Xuan could not accept such a feeble end for himself, having just merged with the sword, he refused to perish within one. Sorrow welled up from his heart as Li Xuan desperately struggled, with the Sword Tao Long Sword carving mark after mark on the walls of the Nine Dragons Cauldron, only for them to heal swiftly. After reaching the Second Revolution of the Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions, Mu Can’s control over fire had ascended to a new level. Suddenly, as Mu Can was focused on refining the Sword Tao Long Sword, he felt a chill in his heart and a premonition of danger. Tilting his head slightly, a hidden weapon grazed the top of Mu Can’s head, severing a few strands of hair. Mu Can was startled; had it not been for his keen sense of perception, that hidden weapon could have harmed him directly. Startled by the hidden weapon, the well-controlled Nine Dragons Cauldron suddenly lost its stability, and seizing the opportunity, Li Xuan broke free. Mu Can looked around, hoping to see who had used such a sinister hidden weapon, but found nothing. However, only nine people remained at the scene, meaning someone must have hidden away to launch the attack at him. Having broken free from the cauldron and regaining his freedom, the longsword traced a graceful curve in the air, hovering not far from Mu Can. "Someone intervened?" Seeing Mu Can’s alert demeanor, Li Xuan felt sure something had happened, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to break out of the Nine Dragons Cauldron. "Come out." Mu Can had already sharply sensed a seemingly well-concealed figure not far in front of him. With a flap of his wings, he instantly attacked, reaching his opponent in a flash. A figure darted by—a person who was hiding had now revealed their true face. "Ying Kun." Mu Can stared at the approaching figure and said coldly. The one who attacked him in the dark was this powerhouse from the Shadow Clan, Ying Kun, who was also the one wanting to assassinate Ye Wang back then. The Shadow Clan, excellent assassins, natural born slayers. "How did you discover me?" Ying Kun asked with interest as he looked at Mu Can. After attacking Mu Can with a hidden weapon, he had used Instant Movement to change his location, and he couldn’t understand how Mu Can had promptly pinpointed his position. Mu Can also considered himself lucky in secret. Had he not seen Ying Kun’s miraculous method of concealing himself, he wouldn’t have been able to find Ying Kun’s location so quickly this time. It should be known that being targeted by a natural-born assassin like the Shadow Clan would make anyone feel a fish bone stuck in their throat. "Was it you who disturbed our duel?" The Sword Tao Long Sword swayed as Li Xuan’s voice came out from it. It seemed that Li Xuan was very dissatisfied with Ying Kun’s interference in their battle. "Heh, you blame me?" Ying Kun looked at Li Xuan and let out a dry laugh, asking awkwardly. "A fair duel, your meddling is disrespect to me, you are insulting my Sword Dao." Li Xuan said with an icy tone. Hearing Li Xuan’s words, Ying Kun also felt a rage burning inside. Damn it, I was kindly helping you, and not only do you not appreciate me, but you also scold me. Ying Kun dug at his ear in disdain and looked at Li Xuan, saying coldly, "What if I don’t respect you? It’s just a battle at worst."

Ying Kun didn’t mind having a fight with Li Xuan first. "Then bring it on." Li Xuan, provoked by Ying Kun, transformed the sword into a streak of light that instantly reached in front of Ying Kun and viciously slashed down at his head. Judging by the Attack Power Li Xuan had shown just now, if this strike were to connect, Ying Kun’s slender frame would probably be split in half on the spot. The Longsword pierced the body, but the expected splashing of blood didn’t happen. The Ying Kun who was standing there shattered like crystal, breaking into countless pieces. "Clone." Although transformed into a Longsword, Li Xuan’s sense of perception was only stronger, not weaker than before. Quickly adjusting his target, he struck towards one direction, and a figure appeared—it was Ying Kun, who had once again concealed himself. Now, Mu Can, who should have been the center of the fight, became a complete spectator, watching the entangled battle between Li Xuan and Ying Kun with a bittersweet feeling. "Then I’ll start with you." It was clear that Li Xuan disliked others interfering in his battles; Mu Can turned to Ye Wang and said. "Damn." Ye Wang did not wish to join the fight so quickly and had hoped to keep a low profile, but then saw Mu Can’s icy gaze turn towards him. Muttering a swear word under his breath, he had no choice. His plan to fish in troubled waters was ruined, and he had to face the battle-ready Mu Can with resolution. Ye Wang had no choice but to opt for battle. Including Ye Wang and Mu Can, four out of ten people had already joined the battle. The remaining six, after exchanging glances, also found their respective opponents and began to fight one-on-one. The melee was about to erupt.
