Master Mystical Dragon's anger surged as he quickly scanned the tree canopy without the interference of the Cold Frost Smoke. Surprisingly, he received more than a dozen identical responses. It seemed that there were dozens of Shu Han jumping on the tree canopy, and this feeling was increasing.
"Damn it! So many substitution talismans! Pesky brat!"
He never thought that after spending so many years in the Foundation Establishment stage, being a relatively superior cultivator within the early stages, he would now feel helpless against a Qi Refining stage brat.
It's lucky he doesn't want to run. If this kid focuses on escaping, with his means, I might not be able to do anything.
Thinking of this, Master Mystical Dragon laughed.
"Kid! If you wanted to escape from me, you would have had a good chance. Unfortunately, young people always aim too high and underestimate the difficulty of their goals. You have a few tricks and think you can defeat me! Let me tell you, in this forbidden place, no one can defeat me!"
Hearing Master Mystical Dragon's words, Shu Han shuddered.
Does this old ghost have a trump card?
At this moment, Master Mystical Dragon seemed to be holding a winning ticket, brandishing his sword and shouting, "Do you know why we are in this forbidden land on the back mountain? Because not only is this my place for refining pills, but also a place for laying formations!"
Whoosh!
Master Mystical Dragon thrust his sword into the scorched earth. In an instant, the atmosphere around him changed. This feeling took Shu Han directly back to five years ago.
That night when ghostly figures roamed and darkness shrouded everything, the surrounding air, heated by the Fire God talismans, gradually became cold. Gradually, countless wails echoed in Shu Han's ears, as if he had fallen into a hell of ghosts, with little devils crying loudly in his ears.
Shu Han was shocked and wanted to get up and escape, but suddenly countless hands stretched out from the tree canopy and grabbed his feet. Spirits emerged from various places in the forest, some looking like young men, many under ten years old. They stretched out their hands, crying continuously.
Shu Han's heart pounded as he felt all the substitution talismans he had placed around suddenly fail. In the blink of an eye, he was firmly grasped by the black hands of many spirits. Their sorrowful faces crowded in front of Shu Han as if they wanted to devour him together.
Suddenly, among these faces, Shu Han saw a familiar figure.
"Ah!"
He tossed pills into his mouth like they were worthless!
Shu Han roared, his magic power crazily surging out, stimulating all the twelve levels of Qi Refining, breaking free from all the spirits.
With red eyes and trembling hands holding the Spirit Snake Sword, he stood on the tree canopy and roared, "I want your life!"
Whoosh!
A red light flashed as Shu Han's Heart-Protecting Mirror automatically protected its master, blocking the attack of the Blood Soul Sword once more. Another layer of barrier shattered. The high-quality magic tool, the Mysterious Iron Heart-Protecting Mirror, had only one layer left.
Shu Han's chest was hit by a powerful impact. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled off the tree canopy. As soon as he hit the ground, the vengeful spirits surged up again. Countless pairs of black hands swarmed over, firmly entwining Shu Han.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Master Mystical Dragon, holding his Blood Soul Sword, walked towards Shu Han with a smile. He used the Blood Soul Sword to lift Shu Han's cheek, mocking, "Little thing, do you have any other tricks? Show me all of them! Have you exhausted all your tricks?"
Shu Han, who was lowering his head, suddenly looked up and smiled. He tugged at the bundle on his back and said decisively, "Old fool, you've fallen into my trap! Die!"
Master Mystical Dragon's pupils contracted sharply! Only now did he come to his senses. The battle had been so intense just now, but this kid had never let go of the bundle on his back!
Whoosh!
Four golden lights descended from the sky, directly slashing the vengeful spirits that were binding Shu Han. The Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation formed an energy barrier, firmly protecting Shu Han.
The second elder arrived, shouting, "Mystical Dragon, we can talk! Don't hurt my disciple!"
Both Shu Han and Master Mystical Dragon were stunned.
The second elder landed in front of Shu Han, about to say something, but seeing Master Mystical Dragon's tragic, blackened, and furious face, he choked on his words. He couldn't help but turn his head to Shu Han and asked, "What have you done to this guy to make him look like this? How am I supposed to negotiate peace for you now?"
"Negotiate peace?"
Master Mystical Dragon roared, "Old man, get out of my way! Today, I will refine this kid into pills! If you dare to stand in my way, don't blame me for not showing mercy, I'll kill you too!"
The second elder held his forehead, lamenting, "Having you as my disciple, I'm really at a loss!"
Then, with the Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation standing by his side, the second elder snorted, "Fine! I've long been unable to stand you, Mystical Dragon. I shouldn't have saved you back then! Today, let my Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation have a taste of your Blood Soul Sword!"
"You're really asking for it!"
The brilliant, sharp golden light of the Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation dispelled the surrounding ghostly darkness. The second elder commanded his sword to fly swiftly, engaging in a fierce aerial battle with Master Mystical Dragon using a mysterious sword formation.
Shu Han hurriedly swallowed several Qi Gathering Pills to recover his magic power.
Even though the Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation was extremely mysterious, the second elder was only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and his realm was far inferior to Master Mystical Dragon. He certainly was no match for Master Mystical Dragon. Right now, Shu Han needed to quickly recover his energy and find an opportunity to deliver the killing blow in his bundle accurately to Master Mystical Dragon.
However, after a while, the second elder fell from the sky. The four swords that made up the sword formation were scattered.
Master Mystical Dragon laughed loudly in the air, angrily saying, "Today, you stubborn master and disciple will both die here! No one can stop my cultivation! No one!"
However, what responded to Master Mystical Dragon was Shu Han's mocking laughter.
"Us master and disciple dying here? Mystical Dragon, stop dreaming!"
Master Mystical Dragon snorted, "Still hard-mouthed when death is imminent! You have exhausted your magic power, all your cards have been played, what means do you have to resist?"
Suddenly, Shu Han untied the bundle and held it high in his hand. Master Mystical Dragon was taken aback.
That bundle!
Shu Han turned to the seriously injured second elder and said, "Master! This old ghost's realm is higher than yours, but he completely forgot what your background is! Even though it's a waste, let me use the secret treasure that you spent twenty years refining to end this old ghost! Let him see the forbidden weapon passed down in your Bai family!"
The second elder's eyes widened: ???
Master Mystical Dragon heard this and was horrified: No wonder this kid is unwilling to let go of that cumbersome bundle, it turns out that it contains the secret treasure refined by the old man!
Master Mystical Dragon suddenly made a move, and the Blood Soul Sword Rain aimed at the dying second elder.
"Master!"
Shu Han was shocked, hurriedly ran to the side of the second elder, and used an Iron Armor Protection Talisman to barely block the Blood Soul Sword Rain.
At this time, Master Mystical Dragon seized the opportunity when Shu Han was exhausted, used a grabbing technique, and snatched the bundle in Shu Han's hand out of thin air.
Master Mystical Dragon, who had gotten the bundle, laughed heartily, full of triumph.
"Old man! Secretly refined for twenty years! What kind of treasure is it? Today, let me take it for you!"
However, no one responded, Master Mystical Dragon looked down and saw Shu Han actually carrying the second elder and running wildly. In his confusion, he realized that the bundle didn't feel right, he opened the bundle and his face turned pale with fright.
"So many! I've been tricked!"
Shu Han shouted while running wildly.
"Explode!"
Twelve hundred Fire God Talismans in the bundle immediately ignited. The fire which was red to the point of being white sprayed out of the bundle. In an instant, a hot fireball the size of half of Yandang Mountain rose from the back mountain of Yandang Mountain.
The surging heat wave directly turned half of the trees on Yandang Mountain into ashes, and the other half was burning intensely. From a distance, Yandang Mountain at this moment looked like a purgatory on earth.
