Just how did this kid manage to recognize us?!
Even a Supervisor from the Taoist Court wouldn't likely be able to identify all of us.
This brat...
Just from this brief encounter and a few words of conversation, he was able to identify all four of us?!
What on earth was his background?
Fire Buddha's affable demeanor suddenly turned cold.
Some relationships must not be brought to light.
Now that things had come to this point, this brat couldn't be left alive!
"Qiao Laowu," Fire Buddha commanded in an unquestionable and chilling voice. "Kill this kid!"
Qiao Laowu was taken aback.
At the word "kill", Mo Hua, quick to sense danger, slickly made his escape, leaving behind only a faint water shadow where he had stood.
Seeing this, Qiao Laowu was furious, "Good for you, you little devil!"
He pulled a long, hook-ended cleaver stained with mottled bloodstains from his storage bag and swung out a flash of bloodlight, chasing and slashing at Mo Hua's waist.
But Mo Hua's movements were fluid like water, ghostly in nature, easily evading the attack.
Qiao Laowu struck again.
Mo Hua dodged again.
Like drawing a sword to sever water, but the water's flow continued unabated.
No matter how he slashed, he could not touch Mo Hua at all.
Fire Buddha remained seated, deep in thought, not making a move.
The other two watched the struggle with glee, seeing Qiao Laowu and Mo Hua locked in a stalemate for over a dozen exchanges, still unable to capture Mo Hua, and laughed mockingly,
"Qiao Laowu, are you even capable?"
"A single kid, and you can't catch him?"
"All these years of cultivating the Dao, was it all bullshit?"
...
Qiao Laowu, driven by rage, swung his blade even fiercer.
Mo Hua was "sweating profusely" and floundering, looking quite desperate, but he always managed to dodge Qiao Laowu's attacks just in time.
Fire Buddha was surprised.
"Ghost Face Sha" and "Yin Thunder Child" wore serious expressions.
"This kid's movement technique is something else..."
Although Qiao Laowu had only recently made his breakthrough, he still possessed the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, yet he couldn't subdue this brat in a short time.
Granted, it was because Qiao Laowu focused solely on offense, lacking in movement techniques.
On the other hand, it was also because this kid's movement technique was too exquisite.
Fire Buddha gave a signal with his eyes.
The other two nodded, moving swiftly like the wind, pouncing forward like malevolent wolves, flanking Qiao Laowu to corner Mo Hua together.
