Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The red dragon's body was so enormous that a single section of its body was the size of a small hill, and its head and tail were nowhere to be seen.

The dragon's body still retained a tangible majesty that seemed capable of distorting space.

Although most of the surrounding dragon scales were broken and fallen off, the few remaining ones still shimmered with a dim yet hard luster, as if they could withstand the impact of thousands of troops.

Parts of its body were deeply embedded in the rock of the hall floor. Even though it had lost its life, its ferocious posture still exuded an aura of domineering arrogance.

Liu Bei suppressed his shock and glanced at the crimson lake beneath the dragon's body. The lake water was viscous like paste, and its fragrance was not pungent at all, but rather had a strange warmth. Inhaling it made him feel comfortable all over his body, and his blood and qi seemed to be circulating faster as a result.

Lake of Dragon Blood!!!

Finally, we're seeing results!
At this moment, Liu Bei was extremely excited...

Just then, Liu Bei suddenly turned around and looked behind him, only to find that Lin Mu and the others had not rushed over, clearly fearing that there might be a trap here.

Behind them, there was no red-lacquered gate, only a spacious area filled with a faint red mist.

Suddenly, Liu Bei exclaimed, "Great! If Lin Mu and Yuan Shao don't come in, then all of this will be ours!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu seemed to realize what was happening, and a mischievous smile appeared on their faces.

After that, they didn't make a sound again.

Liu Bei cautiously took a step forward. The ground beneath his feet was an eerie dark red color due to the staining of dragon blood, and it even felt a little sticky underfoot.

"Such peculiar dragon remains, such pure dragon blood... This is no ordinary place; it probably hides an even greater secret." Liu Bei murmured to himself, his eyes filled with both excitement and deep apprehension.

Liu Bei and Zhu Xuan sprang into action, while Guan Yu, wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, stood guard at the location where they had just been teleported, waiting for the approaching enemies!

Zhang Fei stood beside Guan Yu, ready to deliver the final blow.

The elder brother Liu Bei and Zhu Xuan went to gather resources, thus delaying the inevitable.

Just then, a blood-red wave rippled out, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei tensed their bodies, their powerful divine energy surging out, brewing a killing move!
"Buzz!!!" The next moment, Huang Zhong, who was staring at the golden shield, suddenly appeared.

"Roar!~~" The moment Huang Zhong appeared, a blue dragon suddenly rose up and hurtled towards him...

"Bang!!!" A dull collision sound rang out, and the azure dragon collided with the golden divine energy shield, shattering into energy and disappearing.

Even a sneak attack couldn't harm a peak-level Nine Yuan Divine General! How infuriating!
Afterwards, Dian Wei, Lin Mu, and others appeared one after another, while Taishi Ci stayed behind...

Following Liu Bei, the second force to break in was Lin Mu's camp.

"It truly is the divine body of a Crimson Dragon!" Lin Mu's expression changed slightly upon seeing the mountain-like dragon skeleton.

However, Lin Mu quickly figured out the key point. This dragon body wasn't left behind after the Crimson Dragon died, but rather a section of its body containing the most essential dragon blood that the Crimson Dragon had severed long ago!
Although we can't see the situation on both sides right now, it's pretty much a done deal.

Lin Mu turned around and found that behind him was not a portal, but a strange space filled with red mist.

Lin Mu had a premonition that this was the real Epang Palace!
"It's really strange. Why are there such bizarre rules in the first two levels but no other methods? Perhaps setting up some puppets or tomb guardians could buy us some time?" Lin Mu was a little confused at this moment.

"Could it be that Liu Hong died suddenly before he could finish setting things up?!" Lin Mu suddenly thought of a possibility and his whole body trembled.

Just as Lin Mu predicted, this tomb palace was actually only half-finished; otherwise, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and others would have suffered serious damage!
The only one who can resist is Lin Mu, who has the blessing of the Liangzhou Cauldron.

If we deploy a lot of puppet troops in the first stage, it will definitely delay them for a long time, because they will not dare to act rashly. After all, the attacks will all fall on their lord, which will make them hesitant to act.

However, it was all too late... Even the last checkpoint, the red-lacquered gate, was empty... because there wasn't enough time to set it up.

Lin Mu and the others dared not advance, fearing that Liu Hong might have other, even more terrifying plans hidden within...

"Buzz!~~~" Just then, another strange fluctuation rippled out.

Then Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and others arrived... At that moment, Huang Zhong was fighting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Previously, Guan Yu fought Yan Liang and Wen Chou, one against two; now, Huang Zhong is fighting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, also one against two.

"Alliance Leader Yuan, Brother Gonglu, this place is the real Epang Palace, with rare resources piled up like mountains. We can no longer fight. The one we should be dealing with is not someone else, but Lin Mu!" Just then, Liu Bei's voice rang out.

"Kill!!!" Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu simultaneously shouted in low voices.

Their message reached their subordinates immediately.

Then, the generals all charged toward... Lin Mu, weapons in hand!
That's right, they just joined forces to deal with Liu Bei, but they changed their minds again and started besieging Lin Mu!
There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests!
Everything that happened to the Kwantung Army from the very beginning here proves this statement.

"Kill!!!" Lin Mu shouted in a low voice.

Dian Wei and Taishi Ci also began to act, rushing towards Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu respectively.

Le Jin, Yu Jin, Zang Ba, Huang Xu, and others also made their moves, facing the combined forces of the three parties.

Wang Yue stayed by Lin Mu's side.

In an instant, a great battle broke out!
"Gentlemen, I am destined to be associated with the Epang Palace, and I, Lin Mu, should also seize the opportunities here! If you are not convinced, then I will beat you until you are convinced!" Lin Mu's voice was like a bell, and his eyes were as sharp as knives as he looked at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei, who had not yet made a move.

At this moment, Lin Mu's brilliance was fully revealed! "Aren't you afraid that we will send troops to besiege you? You are currently ranked first among the warlords of heaven and earth, and you are at odds with Dong Zhuo. If you offend us again, aren't you afraid that you will be jointly killed by the warlords?!" Yuan Shao shouted in a deep voice.

He hadn't expected Lin Mu, who had always appeared moderate, to reveal such brilliance. He knew his current situation wasn't good at all… like a castle in the air, without a foundation, ready to collapse at any moment!
"Lin Mu, what are you so arrogant about, you peasant? When I get back, I will definitely drive you out of Yangzhou!" Yuan Shu pointed at Lin Mu and cursed.

"Gentlemen, if you're not afraid to die, then come on! I, Lin, will gladly oblige!" Lin Mu shouted in a deep voice.

He doesn't seize opportunities, but does that mean they won't take action afterward? Impossible... they'll still take action if necessary.

"Brother Benchu, Brother Gonglu, Lin Mu's ambition is obvious. The real threat is him, not me!" Liu Bei was determined to completely pin Lin Mu to the opposite side.

However, the arrogant Yuan Shu snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Who do you think you are? If I give you face, you are a member of the Han imperial family. If I don't, you are just a peasant selling straw sandals."

Yuan Shao was much more low-key than Yuan Shu. He didn't mock Liu Bei, but he also didn't offer any support. He just watched quietly.

"Bang!!~~~" Dian Wei and Taishi Ci were really too powerful, directly blasting away several people, including fierce generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

However, they used some kind of prop, and although they were not strong, they were very resilient and able to resist the attacks of a peak-level Nine Yuan Divine General.

Just then, Liu Bei charged toward Lin Mu with his long sword in hand.

Meanwhile, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also made their move, launching a siege on Lin Mu!
The lords ranked third, sixth, and thirteenth on the Heavenly and Earthly Lords Ranking are besieging the lord ranked first on the Heavenly and Earthly Lords Ranking!!!

Unfortunately, they were blocked by beams of sword light as soon as they rushed over.

Lin Mu also has Wang Yue by his side!
"Wang Shuheng, get out of here! You should join the Yuan family instead of Lin Mu!" Yuan Shu, realizing he couldn't get close to Lin Mu at all, angrily tried to persuade him to defect.

"The glory of the Yuan family has already faded into the west," Wang Yue replied calmly, his long sword flashing continuously, creating streaks of sword light that swept around Lin Mu.

Just then, a strange longsword suddenly emerged from the void, appearing abruptly behind Lin Mu and stabbing towards his heart.

Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu all witnessed this, and their eyes widened in astonishment.

Could there be other forces hiding here?!

"Roar!~~" Just then, dragon shadows suddenly appeared on Lin Mu's body, and a strange shield suddenly enveloped Lin Mu.

This is the [Primal Dragon Shield]!!

"Clang!~~~" With the dragon luck foundation on Lin Mu at this moment, the Yuanlong Shield is basically an invincible shield.

After the clanging sound, an elderly figure dressed in a purple robe suddenly appeared.

The aged figure was shrouded in a dense purple aura, obscuring its features.

However, Lin Mu knew who this person was without even seeing his appearance.

"Zixu, the fourth time!!!!" Lin Mu shouted in a low voice, his tone filled with overwhelming rage.

Hearing Lin Mu's furious, beast-like voice, the old figure ignored him and instead brandished his longsword to stab at Wang Yue!

If he can't deal with Lin Mu, then he'll shift the blame to Liu Bei and other dragon lords to deal with Lin Mu!

However, just as Master Zixu attacked Wang Yue, a terrifying purple light flashed by.

The next moment, a strange halberd, exuding a very peculiar aura, ripped through the void and plunged directly into the chest of the aged figure!

"Boom!~~~" The next moment, the old figure with his chest pierced suddenly exploded, and a dense energy aftershock surged in the sky.

"Another clone!!!" Lin Mu snorted coldly.

The aged figure appeared and disappeared as energy in just a short while.

"Boom!!!" Just then, another flash of purple light appeared.

"Boom!~~~" After a loud bang, Liu Bei was blasted away and crashed hard into the dragon's body, causing many dragon scales to burst out.

"Cough cough!~~~" Liu Bei fell off the dragon's body, feeling pain all over his body and his internal organs displaced.

Upon closer inspection, a tall and handsome figure appeared beside Lin Mu—Taishi Ci!

When Yuan Shu saw Taishi Ci appear, he immediately turned to look at his own camp and found that everyone had been defeated by Taishi Ci!
If it weren't for the strange aura protecting them, they might have all been killed by Taishi Ci.

"Useless! Useless!!!" Yuan Shu never expected Lin Mu's troops to be so incredibly powerful. With such subordinates, it's no wonder Lin Mu has repeatedly achieved great feats.

Although he envied, resented, and hated Taishi Ci, and also resented his own subordinates for being so useless, he still decisively returned to his subordinates, helped them up, and used precious medicines to help them recover.

When Yuan Shao saw Yuan Shu like this, he turned to look at his own camp and found that only Yan Liang and Wen Chou were still struggling to hold on.

Even after they ignited their brotherly bond, they were still at a significant disadvantage!
The same applies to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on Liu Bei's side.

The combined strength of the three parties is simply no match for Lin Mu's strongest combat power! (End of Chapter)
