Upon sensing the disturbance in the mine tunnel, three overwhelming auras erupted from its depths.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Three figures wrapped in violent auras had already arrived beside Zhao Yun and the others.
One of them was about to press onward and stop the battle raging within the mine tunnel.
Zhao Yun held the Roaming Dragon Spear horizontally before him, forcibly blocking the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator's path.
"Get past us first."
How could a Qi Refining Realm cultivator possibly catch the eye of a Foundation Establishment cultivator? The blocked Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator casually waved his hand, intending to knock aside the Roaming Dragon Spear before him.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated Zhao Yun. The Roaming Dragon Spear did not budge an inch.
The Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator was deeply suspicious. "What is going on? There's something strange about this man."
Even the Black-tier High-grade Roaming Dragon Spear failed to draw his attention, yet Zhao Yun, a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, had caught him off guard.
With a wave of his hand, the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator grasped a Black-tier Magic Sword as well. It was not high-grade, but low-grade.
Yet this was already the highest-grade Magic Artifact available to everyone the Ye Family had stationed in the Mysterious Iron Ore Mine.
Even this Black-tier Low-grade weapon had only been placed here to hold the fort because the Mysterious Iron Ore Mine was so important.
The Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator raised his hand and slashed upward, intending to knock the Roaming Dragon Spear aside directly.
But Zhao Yun changed his move. Sitting still and waiting was not his style.
"Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Spear, Dragon Roars Nine Heavens."
The tip of the Roaming Dragon Spear opened like a dragon's head, unleashing an earth-shaking roar. A powerful dragon chant instantly burst from the spear shaft.
The spear tip shot toward the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator at extreme speed, its fierce offensive swift and incomparably precise, like a violent dragon tearing its fangs into him.
"Retreat."
At that moment, another Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator recognized the power of Doppelganger Zhao Yun's move. Even as he warned them aloud, a shield had already spread open.
Bang. With the sound of metal colliding, the Roaming Dragon Spear struck the shield.
In an instant, the Roaming Dragon Spear pierced through the shield, and spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across its surface.
The shield released by the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator shattered layer by layer, turning to dust.
"There's something strange about this Qi Refining Realm brat. Attack together and take him down quickly."
Doppelganger Zhao Yun's strike had already made the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators wary.
If that spear strike had landed on them just now, they would have been seriously injured even if they did not die.
While the three Foundation Establishment cultivators were still confused, they felt the aura of the person before them rapidly rise.
"What's going on? He was just at the Qi Refining Third Layer. How did he suddenly become Qi Refining Tenth Layer Great Perfection?"
"This brat really had been hiding his cultivation all along."
"But he is still only in the Qi Refining Realm. No matter how extraordinary he is, what can he do? Before Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, he is still an ant."
"Attack together and let him see what Foundation Establishment is."
As Doppelganger Zhao Yun revealed his cultivation, the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged words rapidly.
The Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators were about to swarm him and end this quickly.
However, three more auras rapidly rose beside Doppelganger Zhao Yun.
"Qi Refining Tenth Layer Great Perfection again?"
"Aren't you three disciples of our Ye Family? You are so young and yet so gifted. The Lineage would certainly nurture you with all its strength. Why betray the Lineage?"
Seeing that they were members of their own Lineage, the three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators were filled with shock and anguish.
But the three Doppelgangers merely smiled and ignored the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
At the same time, two Fireballs condensed in each of the three Doppelgangers' hands, ready to be unleashed.
"What kind of spell is this? How can it contain such violent spiritual power?"
The Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators had never seen such enormous Fireball spells.
Only now did the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators realize that something was wrong.
The three men were using the same spell, and it was obvious at a glance that they had not learned it in the Ye Family.
One Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator asked in confusion, "Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose?"
Zhao Yun spoke. "Purpose? Naturally, our purpose is this Mysterious Iron Ore Mine."
"You four want this mine? What a fool's dream. You don't even know your own weight." One Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered.
Even now, he still could not see where Zhao Yun and the others' chances of winning lay.
Given the cultivation and strength of the three of them, if they fought Zhao Yun's group, it was still uncertain who would win and who would lose.
At worst, both sides would be badly wounded. Once Ye Family reinforcements arrived, the mine would still belong to the Ye Family, while the four before them were destined to become corpses.
No, there were also those rebels outside. They would be no different.
Zhao Yun said calmly, "Is that so? We also felt that we did not have enough people. But we have more."
In an instant, three more ripples of spiritual power appeared beside Zhao Yun.
Three figures appeared—another three Qi Refining Tenth Layer Great Perfection cultivators.
"Where did these three come from?" One Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator sensed the spiritual power but had yet to clearly see the newcomers' appearances.
Then, when they looked closely again, they were instantly dumbfounded.
"Can someone tell me what is going on?"
"Why are there three people who look exactly like us?"
At this moment, one Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator looked toward the other three Ye Family disciples. "Could they be disguised too?"
"Well? Surprised? Was that unexpected? Do we have enough people now?" The corners of Zhao Yun's lips lifted in a faint, exceptionally dashing smile.
At that instant, how could the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators still fail to understand what was happening?
The people before them who looked identical to them must have been disguised by someone, and the other three Ye Family disciples were likely the same.
They had already understood the plan of the seven people before them. They wanted to secretly seize control of this Mysterious Iron Ore Mine through a scheme of swapping the pillar for the beam.
"A way must be found to break out and bring the news back to the Lineage." The three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators had already made their decision.
Seven Qi Refining Tenth Layer Great Perfection cultivators, each with a Fireball in both hands just like before, were waiting to unleash them.
They knew they could no longer win in a fight. They only wanted to get the message out, warn the Ye Family, and prevent anyone else from falling into the trap.
The three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators were about to charge through the formation, but more than a dozen Fireballs had already been hurled at them.
Their retreat route had already been sealed off. Now, they could only force their way through.
Fireballs continuously struck the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and every hit was followed by an explosion.
Then their bodies were blasted back toward the depths of the mine tunnel.
"We have no old grudges and no recent enmity. Why are you targeting our Ye Family?" The eyebrows on one Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator's face had already been burned away.
"With the things your Ye Family has done, everyone has the right to punish you. And you still have the nerve to ask?"
Though Zhao Yun was speaking, the Fireballs in his hands never stopped, continuously flying toward the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Don't they need to cast a spell to use those Fireballs? They are not giving us even the slightest opening."
"Think of a way to break out! At a time like this, we can only risk our lives."
In that brief span of time, dozens of Fireballs had already smashed toward the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Even after using every life-saving method they possessed, the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators were still blasted back again and again.
"Why are these Fireballs so powerful? We can't hold on much longer."
"Split up and break through!" one Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted.
In an instant, the Ye Family's three Foundation Establishment cultivators scattered and charged in three different directions.
