Shu Han quickly pleaded, "Senior, please spare this junior. This junior has shallow cultivation, and it's quite possible that I will die at the hands of other cultivators later on. Senior doesn't need to worry about me at all!"
"Your aura is three times that of an ordinary twelfth-level Qi Refining cultivator, I think other cultivators will have a hard time threatening you!"
Shu Han steadied his breath. He figured showing weakness was no use against this man; it would only fuel his arrogance. He scoffed, "Since the senior has seen through everything, I won't say much. But before you make a move, I hope the senior understands that I once killed a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. If senior insists on making a move, I won't be as easy to deal with as you imagine!"
"Hahaha! A mere Qi Refining stage cultivator dares to talk about killing a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator! Boy, you're still spouting nonsense when you're at death's door!"
Nonsense?
Shu Han threw out the damaged Blood Soul Sword.
"Take a good look, this is his life magic treasure, now it has become a piece of scrap metal."
Shu Han used the Triple Rotation Avatar Technique to divide into three, holding three top-notch magic tools, ready for battle.
At this moment, an old man walked out from the darkness below.
He was dressed in a plain grey robe, his gloomy gaze fixated on Shu Han's avatars. Then, he looked at the broken Blood Soul Sword in his hand and said, "You split into three without reducing your cultivation level! Boy, no matter what you say today, I must kill you! Give me your name, I don't kill nameless people!"
"Can you spare me if I don't tell you?"
"Hmph! No matter what you say, you're going to die!"
Suddenly, the old man in the gray robe stretched out a claw, and a black claw enveloped in dark energy rushed toward him.
Shu Han had chosen to stay near the edge of the five-color barrier to avoid being attacked from both sides. Now, he had been cornered into a dead end by this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. In front of him was the terrifying Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and behind him was the impassable five-color barrier. He had come to a dead end!
Shu Han calmed down. Since this battle was unavoidable, he decided to give it his all! One of his avatars used all its strength to stimulate the Extreme Cold Mysterious Iron Shield, while another avatar used all its strength to stimulate the Eight Treasure Kirin Armor. The two defensive treasures echoed each other and confronted the old man's black claw.
Boom!
The mine shook, and all three of Shu Han's bodies retreated two steps.
The two defensive magic tools perfectly blocked the old man's attack. Shu Han immediately put away the defensive magic tools, and the two avatars each picked up the Green Dragon Spear and Thunderbolt Giant Axe. The remaining magic power was poured into these two magic tools.
In an instant, the green dragon roared, and the thunder rolled. The two magic tools collided in the air, and a Thunderbolt-infused Green Dragon swirled out.
Shu Han was not idle. He fused the four swords of the Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation into one giant sword. With his feet on the Flowing Boots, he followed the Thunderbolt Green Dragon, charging at the old man in the grey robe like a breaking bamboo.
Seeing the tumultuous onslaught, the old man's brow furrowed deeply. He gathered dark energy in his withered palm and slammed it ruthlessly toward the dragon's head.

A dazzling light split from his black claw. The surrounding stone walls crumbled in response. He quickly shattered the Thunderbolt Azure Dragon from the center, and the thick dark energy on his hand dissipated quickly.
"What a terrifying combined attack, its power is comparable to the full-strength attack of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator."
However, when the dazzling Thunderbolt Green Dragon was completely shattered, under the dazzling light, a giant sword of sharp golden light slashed down.
The old man in the gray robe was shocked, he spat out a small black sword directly to meet Shu Han's giant Heavenly Sword.
The black small sword was invincible, and under the mighty force, Shu Han even felt that the indestructible giant sword began to show small cracks! He immediately stopped exerting force, continuing would only increase the consumption of the Heavenly Sword.
Once Shu Han ceased his efforts, the old man pressed down with great force.
Shu Han flipped over with the momentum, stepping on the mine ceiling with his Flowing Boots, changing positions with the old man in the gray robe.
The old man turned around and stretched out a claw, but Shu Han, having jumped over the old man and now having a way out, no longer dared to linger. He immediately fled, running towards the lower mine.
The old man was surprised. The boy had just been raging, showing a die-hard intention, and in the blink of an eye, he took the opportunity to escape.
He was quite crafty!
Just as he was about to chase, a burst of intense firelight exploded above.
Shu Han, seeing the firelight behind him, couldn't help but laugh heartily. When he used the momentum to jump over the old man's head earlier, he quickly pasted four Fire God talismans on the top of the mine. He knew the Fire God talismans wouldn't be able to deal with the old man in the gray robe, but the mine ceiling couldn't withstand them.
Boom!
The power of the Fire God talismans explosion directly destroyed that section of the mine, burying the old man in it.
"You little rascal! If I don't kill you today, how can I face to walk out of the mine vein!"
From the collapsed mine, a dark light suddenly erupted. The old man in the gray robe stretched out a claw and directly dug out a small hole the size of a person. Then, the old man plunged into a mass of dark energy. Many black palms stretched out from the dark energy, these palms grabbed and clawed at the four walls of the mine, instantly closing the distance with Shu Han.
"Holy shit! What kind of spell is this!"
Shu Han didn't dare to be careless, he spurred the Flowing Boots to their full power and raced through the mine. Fortunately, the mine was complex with twists and turns, which kept the old man from further closing the distance.
As he ran, he shouted, "Help! This Foundation Establishment old ghost says he's going to kill all the Qi Refining cultivators in the mine vein! Help! Qi Refining cultivators should unite against the common enemy, against the Foundation Establishment stage! Otherwise, he will defeat us one by one, and none of us will survive! Damn it! Is there nobody else around here?"
The grey-robed old man chasing behind was exasperated upon hearing Shu Han's words, the youngster was trying to get other Qi Refining cultivators to gang up on him. But in this mine, everyone was out for themselves, and no one would risk going against a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. However, this boy was too fast, and his speed was almost on par with his own!
Suddenly, Shu Han was the first to charge into a large cavern from the mine. A fierce battle was also erupting in the cavern. Five Qi Refining cultivators at the twelfth level were besieging one person. When Shu Han looked carefully, he was shocked to find that the person was Chu Ruolin in white!
Upon seeing this woman here, Shu Han immediately hatched a plan!
The grey-robed old man was already close behind him.
Shu Han, moving at an astonishing speed, came around from behind the group of people attacking Chu Ruolin. He shouted, "Who dares to bully my wife!"
In an instant, one became three. The Heavenly Quadrant Sword Formation, the Thunderbolt Giant Axe, and the Green Dragon Spear all struck simultaneously.
Those who were attacking Chu Ruolin were startled and quickly turned around, but Shu Han was already attacking them with full force.
In a flash, three of these five people were killed on the spot by Shu Han's surprise attack. The other two were severely injured by the Green Dragon Spear and the Thunderbolt Giant Axe.
Shu Han stepped forward, turning around directly to Chu Ruolin's side. He pulled her waist and raised his sword, staring at the grey-robed old man who was chasing him. He shouted, "Old ghost, I alone am no match for you, but if my wife and I join forces, even if you are at the Foundation Establishment stage, you have to retreat !"
Chu Ruolin: ...
Seeing this, the grey-robed old man had to be careful. He sensed a dangerous aura from this woman in white.
"Couples fighting together? You are both only in the Qi Refining stage, I will send you both on your way!"
Chu Ruolin was about to say something, but Shu Han interrupted her immediately.
"What? Dear, you want me to go get help while you hold off this old ghost for a moment? Alright, you hold him off for a moment, and I will come back to assist you immediately!" With that, he left Chu Ruolin's side and immediately slipped into another mine tunnel in the cavern, leaving Chu Ruolin alone to face the grey-robed old man's claw.
