After making up his mind, Shu Han picked up Chu Ruolin and ran.

At this moment, Chu Ruolin's face was pale, and she didn't blame Shu Han for his audacious action. She clung tightly to his neck and asked nervously.

"What are you going to do?"

Shu Han ran while setting up Fire God talismans along the way.

After an analysis, Shu Han felt that constantly avoiding would eventually lead to a dead end. Since their location was exposed and there was no way to hide, he could only take the initiative! He estimated that all the cultivators in the mine were now flocking to Chu Ruolin, which gave him a great opportunity to trap and annihilate them.

Breathing heavily, he answered, "Since they are all flocking over, let's capture them all at once! Don't blame me for being ruthless at this point! It's all for survival, my friends, I apologize in advance!"

Chu Ruolin was stunned. She didn't expect this cautious little guy to have such a plan! What did he base this on? He was only at the Qi Refining stage, and he dared to say that he wanted to wipe out all the cultivators in the mine!? Was it because of a few talismans that she didn't even rate?

But soon, Shu Han's actions firmly slapped her in the face. She didn't think much of the Fire God talisman, but there were just so many!

Shu Han moved very quickly, running like the wind through several branching mine tunnels.

At least ten Fire God talismans were affixed to each tunnel.

"Where did this kid get so many talismans?"

Shu Han was speechless.

This is a lot? Then you really should meet my former sect leader and ask him how he died.

Soon, Shu Han's supply of Fire God talismans was completely exhausted. But he still felt it was not enough. He came to a cave and placed his treasured Purple Thunder Pearl at the top of the cave.

Seeing Shu Han's arrangement along the way, she immediately understood his intention. She patted Shu Han's forehead and couldn't help but praise, "Good boy, you're smart and ruthless! If your cultivation level increases in the future, you will definitely be a powerful figure!"

"I don't dare to say whether I'll be a powerful figure or not, let's first survive this!"

After the arrangement was completed, holding Chu Ruolin, Shu Han prepared to go ahead and lure the enemies.

"Senior, the success or failure hinges on this moment. If you have any trump cards, could you please tell me? So I can make full plans."

At this point, Chu Ruolin could only fully rely on this Qi Refining boy. She said, "I can't use any magic treasure or spells above the Foundation Establishment stage. There are almost no specific ones for the Qi Refining stage. Now only a Flame Sun talisman can be used, but..."

"But what?"

"This talisman can threaten the peak cultivators of Foundation Establishment. If I use it with my current ability, I will also be affected by its aftermath."

Shu Han extended his hand, "Senior, there's no need for you to take action. Please give this talisman to me and I will use it at the right moment."

"With your cultivation, you would be directly shocked to death if you use this talisman!"

"No need to worry about me, senior. I will take care of my own life!"

With that, Shu Han rushed with Chu Ruolin toward the deep layers of the five-color barrier, standing at the intersection of a mine tunnel. Gradually, he felt the agitation of spiritual power coming from all directions.

"They're here!"

Shu Han threw out two Frost Smoke bombs and immediately ran back.

A team immediately shouted, "Smoke interference! He's trying to escape!"

"He can't run, the map constantly marks her!"

"First come, first served, I want those ten thousand spirit stones!"

Several teams met at the intersection, with a few people fighting as soon as they saw each other. All of them showed their abilities and rushed toward the red dot on the map from all directions.

The shouts of killing continued behind Shu Han. He dared not be careless and urged his Flowing Boots to run as fast as possible.

Suddenly, five people popped out of the mine tunnel intersection in front of him. Shu Han was taken aback. He hadn't expected anyone to come from this direction.

In an instant, he understood. The other people weren't fools. The mine tunnels were all interconnected. They had probably calculated that Shu Han would pass this point and take a shortcut from other directions.

Seeing Chu Ruolin in Shu Han's arms, they all showed malicious smiles.

"Little brother, hand over the little beauty in your arms, and let us hold her for a while!"

"Protecting her, you're going to die too!"

Chu Ruolin was so angry that her face turned red. When had Qi Refining cultivators ever dared to disrespect her?

"Shu Han, kill them!"

Shu Han didn't hesitate and continued rushing forward, throwing out two more Frost Smoke bombs.

In the narrow mine tunnel, these people already had difficulty surrounding him. Now, with the interference of the Frost Smoke affecting their spiritual perception, they were completely disoriented. But Shu Han, with his Cloud Walking Step, relied on his ability to discern direction by sound and charged into the smoke with his Heavenly Sword.

"Here he comes! Quick, defend!"

The five men huddled together. Their spiritual perception couldn't locate Shu Han in the smoke, they only heard footsteps getting closer, unaware that Shu Han was already overhead with his Gang Tian Sword.

With a leap, Shu Han split into three. The Heavenly Sword, Green Dragon Spear, and Thunderbolt Giant Axe struck simultaneously. The five men were not high in cultivation. Under Shu Han's lightning-fast attack, three were instantly killed and two were seriously injured.

However, Shu Han didn't linger as the surrounding pursuers had already caught up. He held a middle-grade spirit stone and quickly drew spiritual power, ready for an emergency.

Chu Ruolin lay on his back, leaning close to his ear, and exclaimed, "Good boy, your moving skill just now was really good! Without using any magic power, you instantly got behind the enemy. What kind of move was that?"

"Mortal martial arts, Cloud Walking Step."

Chu Ruolin was surprised, "You've learned mortal martial arts?"

Shu Han replied, "Anything useful is good. In the narrow areas of this mine, as long as I don't encounter a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I can make these Qi Refining cultivators suffer by relying on my martial arts alone."

Chu Ruolin was intrigued and patted Shu Han on the back of his head, "Interesting. Teach your martial arts to me in the future!"

"I'm sorry, it's a technique from my school, I can't teach it to others."

"You..."

Shu Han closed his eyes and began to connect with the over a hundred Fire God talismans he had placed in more than a dozen mine tunnels. He felt that most of the people had already entered the tunnels where he had laid his ambush. Immediately, he brought Chu Ruolin to the edge of the mine where he had hidden the Purple Thunder Pearl.

At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the tunnel first and entered the mine. Seeing Shu Han standing at the edge of the mine with Chu Ruolin on his back, they were all overjoyed, but also wary of each other, and rushed towards Shu Han.

Shu Han struggled for a moment, then showed a decisive expression and shouted the word "Explode"!

In an instant, a dazzling purple thunderbolt exploded on the walls of the mine. The dozen or so cultivators who rushed in were shocked by the instantaneous explosion of the Purple Thunder Pearl. Their internal organs were displaced and they fell to the ground like geese shot in the sky.

Purple electricity the thickness of a bowl instantly spread throughout the mine from the top. The huge stone walls of the mine collapsed from the top, like the inside of an egg, and large rocks fell down. Seeing this, Shu Han immediately flew away with Chu Ruolin.

At the same time, big explosions occurred in the dozens of mine tunnels covered by the Fire God talismans. The cultivators in the explosion were either killed directly by the sudden fire, severely injured, or buried alive by the collapsing tunnel.

The cultivators in the central mine tunnel, hearing the continuous explosions and the miserable screams of the cultivators, were all scared out of their wits. Then they found that the tunnels around them had collapsed, they had nowhere to go and were eventually swallowed by the flames of the Fire God talismans.

Just like that, what was originally a slaughter that would have taken more than a dozen hours and cost not more than a hundred cultivators, was now almost down to zero in a matter of moments.

Inside the rocks at the center of the vein, the old voice couldn't help but praise.

"This young man is calm and ruthless, with extraordinary means. But how will you pass the next stage?"
