The golden thunderbolt directly hit Gui Li, causing a series of golden shock waves in the forest.
Gui Li gritted his teeth and used his demonic fish scale armor to block the incoming golden thunderbolt. Upon closer inspection, he found that the thunderbolt was actually an ornate golden immortal sword.
Moreover, the light washing over from this immortal sword caused his demonic skill to decrease greatly. Not only that, his demonic fish scale armor, as if meeting its nemesis, could only provide its usual seventy percent protection.
Bang!
Gui Li exerted his demonic skill to blast away the immortal sword in front of him and was knocked back.
The Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword flew to the injured Shu Han, casting a golden shield to protect his external avatar.
At this moment, Shu Han's real body arrived from the distance, with Shangguan Ruolin, who had returned to her original form, standing by his side. The two of them floated above the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword, watching Gui Li below in a battle-ready stance.
Gui Li looked at Shu Han and couldn't help but smirk, "No wonder this little boy ran away in the direction away from the Purple Sun Sect. It turns out he has backup! But what's the use of one at the early Foundation Establishment stage and one at the Qi Refining stage?"
Gui Li no longer hid his strength. The terrifying aura of the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage emanated, and countless ghost mists poured out from his body, covering the forest in a fog filled with the wailing of specters.
Only the area protected by the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword was free of the ghostly mist.
At this moment, Shu Han had the intention to retreat, saying, "Linlin, we are no match for this old demon. When the fight begins, look for an opportunity to take the external avatar and retreat!"
However, Shangguan Ruolin shook her head. With her Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, she looked at Gui Li in the ghost fog and said, "We can't retreat! According to the information your external avatar obtained, Gui Li is already in cahoots with some of the higher-ups in the Purple Sun Sect. If we don't deal with him, there will be endless troubles!"
"Deal with him?" Shu Han was stunned, "He is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment! How do we fight?"
Shangguan Ruolin said, "The Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword and the Golden Light Divine Incantation can restrain his skills. Let's try to confront him first."
"Are you two done talking?"
Suddenly, two large and small evil ghosts burst out from the fog below, entangled with thick ghost fog, and bared their teeth, rushing toward Shu Han and Shangguan Ruolin!
Shu Han was startled and immediately reached out to retrieve the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword. Two sword lights were swung out, slashing the two evil ghosts.
The two evil ghosts wailed, and the ghost fog on their bodies was broken by the golden light, revealing their true forms. It turned out to be a pair of large and small chained hammers.
Shu Han activated his Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, allowing him to see through the ghost fog below clearly and accurately track Gui Li's movements. He let go of Shangguan Ruolin and used the Triple Rotation Avatar Technique to split into three.
His main body held the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword, and the other two avatars respectively held the Black Claw and the Pursuing Sword, forming a circle in a battle-ready stance.

"Linlin, since you say we can fight, I trust your judgment. You can't help with your current cultivation level, so go get my external avatar. I will test this old demon!"
Shangguan Ruolin nodded and immediately dived into the forest below to find Shu Han's external avatar.
However, at this moment, a pair of black giant hands emerged from the ghost fog. The giant hands closed, trying to grab Shangguan Ruolin.
"None of you are escaping!"
Shu Han quickly swung two sword lights. The sword lights cut through the black giant claws that Gui Li had morphed from, covering Shangguan Ruolin's entrance into the forest.
Gui Li frowned deeply, soaring from below with thick ghost fog, looking at the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword in Shu Han's hand with suspicion. "With a magic treasure of pure yang and golden light divine incantation, you must be a disciple of the Great Fortune Sect! What is the Great Fortune Sect doing in the north of the Great Cloud?"
Great Fortune Sect?
Shu Han snorted, "I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Still playing dumb!" Gui Li scolded, "Even if your Great Fortune Sect is a strong dragon, you have to curl up for me in the North of Great Cloud! Judging by your magic treasure, you must have a high status in the Great Fortune Sect. Capturing you and bringing you back for interrogation by the Sect Master would surely earn me great merits!"
Having said that, Gui Li rushed up holding the evil ghost hammers. His speed was so fast that Shu Han barely kept up.
Thankfully, splitting into three to guard three sides and having the insight of Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, he was not overwhelmed by Gui Li's ghostly speed.
Gui Li threw the two evil ghost hammers from a distance. The two fierce ghosts seemed to resurrect, baring their teeth and claws, and bit towards Shu Han's two avatars.
The two avatars quickly defended with the Black Claw and Pursuing Sword. Meanwhile, Shu Han's main body charged at Gui Li's main body with the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword.
The Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword's flickering demon-breaking light could restrain Gui Li's demonic skills. With one sword strike, Gui Li's demonic fish scale armor immediately protected his body, blocking Shu Han's eight consecutive sword lights.
"Kid! Your magic tool is good, and your avatar technique is excellent, but your cultivation level is too low. If you were at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, I would surely run away. But you are only at the early stage, so surrender!"
Shu Han's main body was unable to land a successful attack, while his avatars faced a significant crisis.
The Black Claw and the Pursuing Sword were unleashed to counter the two evil ghost hammers, but the transformed evil ghosts swallowed the Black Claw and the Pursuing Sword directly, chuckling eerily at Shu Han's avatars.
Suddenly, Shu Han felt his spiritual consciousness attached to the two magic treasures was contaminated, and the two magic treasures were no longer responsive as if they were being digested within these two evil ghosts. The two evil ghosts then laughingly pounced on Shu Han's two avatars, suddenly returned to their original forms, and aimed at the avatar's crown.
Seeing this, the main body of Shu Han immediately turned around, sprouting four pairs of sword wings on his back, spinning continuously in the air. The eight-winged sword wings directly flung the evil ghost hammers, barely saving the two avatars.
The avatars retrieved the Black Claw and the Pursuing Sword. These two magic treasures had suffered a certain degree of spiritual damage.
Shu Han held the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword, nervously watching the complacent Gui Li. If it weren't for the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword suppressing this old ghost's skills and magic treasure, he would probably have been captured at first contact.
The power gap was too big, and even the typically reliable Triple Rotation Avatar Technique had no effect. Because he couldn't break the defense!
Shu Han bitterly laughed: Linlin, you want me to kill him, how is that possible? It would be more reasonable to escape using the Six Shadows Escape Technique.
However, at this time, Shangguan Ruolin had not returned, and he had to hold on no matter what. So he withdrew the two avatars, only using the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword to confront this old ghost.
Without this sword's protection, the avatars would be destroyed one by one. Continuously using the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword, a peak Foundation Establishment stage magic treasure, was too much of a drain on his magic power. He would soon be unable to support his avatars.
Seeing Shu Han tucked within the four pairs of sword wings, no longer actively attacking, Gui Li sneered in contempt.
"Low cultivation level makes any magic treasure useless! Listen to this requiem, it will send your soul to hell!"
Having said that, he picked up his suona, and began to play.
The sound of the suona, which could control people's bodies and confuse their minds, sounded again. Shu Han dared not delay, immediately reciting the Golden Light Divine Incantation, wrapping himself in indestructible golden light.
However, this time it was different. Under the Soul-Claiming Demonic Sound, countless fierce ghosts emerged from the black fog below.
Hundreds of ghosts roamed in the forest, turning into a fierce ghost tornado. Accompanied by the Soul-Claiming Demonic Sound, they swept towards Shu Han.
