The fight between Bald Tuo and Mo Shan at the edge of the woods continued.
Bald Tuo could neither beat nor escape him and initially thought his life would soon end.
But after a few more rounds, he unexpectedly discovered that the Monster Hunter was not actually trying to kill him.
The cultivator hiding in the shadows, who was casting those strange spells, only used confinement techniques to keep him there, never any lethal spells to take his life.
It seemed these two men had no intention of killing him.
Bald Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel a surge of shame and anger right after.
They were toying with him!
Neither killing him nor letting him go, they were like hunters amusing themselves with their catch.
It was utter mockery and humiliation!
“This is simply outrageous!” Bald Tuo shouted angrily.
Bald Tuo didn’t want to sit around waiting for death; he kept using runes and pretending to be defeated, trying every way he could to seize an opportunity to escape.
But no matter how many chances he sought to flee, in the end, he would always be frozen in place by the Water Prison Technique, and all his efforts would vanish in an instant.
In front of Mo Hua’s Water Prison Technique, all his schemes were futile.
Bald Tuo was both shocked and furious.
Who was that hidden cultivator, anyway?
Every single move he made was under their control, leaving him with no chance of escape.
Amidst his shock and anger, Bald Tuo was bewildered:
“At this point, why don’t these two just kill me? What exactly do they want to do?”
After entangling with Mo Shan for a long time, Bald Tuo caught a glimpse of two figures approaching from afar, Zhang Lan and Lu Hui.
Bald Tuo’s heart sank even further:
“It’s over, now there’s no chance of escape.”
In the woods, Mo Hua’s eyes also brightened.
Practicing trapping someone like Bald Tuo with the Water Prison Technique several times, he had gradually become proficient, and now he even found it somewhat boring.
Playing cat and mouse can get tedious after a while.
What he was waiting for was Lu Hui, and now, the prey had finally arrived.
Mo Hua slightly smiled.
Zhang Lan and Lu Hui had been searching the mountains for a while, and seeing Mo Shan engaged with Bald Tuo now, both of them were invigorated, hastening their movement techniques, and with a few flashes, they had rushed over.
The three men formed a triangular formation and surrounded Bald Tuo.
Bald Tuo, despairing, burst out angrily:
“You bunch of dogs for the Taoist Court, must you pursue to a bitter end?”
Zhang Lan cursed, “Isn’t that obvious? You beast, you should’ve been dead long ago!”
Bald Tuo’s face twitched.
Lu Hui’s gaze sharpened, and he asked, “Bald Tuo, tell me, was it you who abducted the Young Master of the Kong Family?”
Bald Tuo frowned, “What Young Master of the Kong Family?”
“Half a month ago, did you raid a merchant caravan?”
“I’ve raided so many caravans, how would I know which one you’re talking about?”
Lu Hui’s eyelids twitched, “Then let me ask you another question, what did you do with the cultivators after robbing the caravans?”
Bald Tuo’s mouth twisted into a sinister smile, “That depends on whether they were men or women. Men were killed on the spot, and women… after having some fun, then they were killed.”
Things had come to this point; he couldn’t escape anyway.
The crimes he committed, once at the Taoist Court, meant death, so there was nothing to hide.
Lu Hui’s heart sank; if that was the case, then Young Master Kong was probably confusedly killed by Bald Tuo, not even having a chance to reveal his identity.
Zhang Lan then said, “Let’s act, capture him and take him back to the Taoist Court for questioning.”
Having said that, he formed the Water Sword Technique with his fingers, no longer wasting words, and directly attacked Bald Tuo.
Lu Hui also drew his sword, thrusting at Bald Tuo’s heart.

Mo Shan’s eyes flashed as he remembered Mo Hua’s instructions. When it was time to act, he feigned physical exhaustion and delayed his strike by a moment.
The encirclement of the three men faltered in an instant because of Mo Shan’s delay, creating a flaw.
Bald Tuo, with his rich experience in fighting to the death, captured this flaw in the blink of an eye, his expression filled with wild joy.
