He was certain he would die this time, and even if he didn’t die, he would be captured by the Taoist Court, but to his surprise, at the moment of despair, Mo Shan’s slip-up gave him a glimmer of hope.
Bald Tuo dodged Zhang Lan’s Water Sword Technique, exchanged a blow with Lu Hui, and then used the momentum to retreat. He spotted the flaw between the three men and desperately used the Wind Escape Skill. With a flash, he broke through their encirclement.
The Bald Tuo, having broken out, still didn’t feel safe.
He was afraid that a hidden cultivator would use a spell to trap him.
But then he realized that the cultivator hiding in the shadows didn’t take action or cast that strange spell!
“What a chance!”
Bald Tuo was overjoyed, a gleam flashed in his eyes, he ran with all his might, wind swirling around him, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him.
Lu Hui made a disdainful “tsk” sound as he glanced at Mo Shan, then deployed his movement technique and chased after Bald Tuo.
Bald Tuo had killed Young Master Kong, so they couldn’t let him get away.
Zhang Lan looked at Mo Shan with some confusion.
In his experience, Mo Shan, a veteran of a hundred battles, would not make such a basic error.
Then he saw Mo Shan give him a look and subtly glanced at Lu Hui, who was moving away.
Zhang Lan was taken aback for a moment, then slowly caught on, a sly smile playing on his lips.
At the same time, Mo Hua emerged from the woods.
The three exchanged glances, all understanding each other’s intentions. Then they each moved swiftly, chasing after Bald Tuo and Lu Hui.
Lu Hui, who was using all his effort to sprint, cursed continuously in his heart.
“Three men surrounded this Bald Tuo, yet they let him escape. These Monster Hunters are truly foolish beyond measure.”
However, this was also fine. As long as he caught up with Bald Tuo first and managed to control him or kill him directly, the merit for this task would be his.
Not only would he have completed the Taoist Court’s mission, but he would also have avenged Young Master Kong.
The rewards from the Taoist Court went without saying, and the Kong Family would also owe him a favor, and the benefits would not be small.
With his heart set ablaze with desire, Lu Hui chased after Bald Tuo with even greater effort.
However, Mo Hua and the others merely trailed behind at a distance, neither moving in to join Lu Hui nor allowing Bald Tuo to get away.
If Lu Hui were to lose the trail, Mo Hua would kindly allow Zhang Lan to guide him.
With Mo Hua’s Divine Sense locked on, there was no way for Bald Tuo to escape.
And so, Lu Hui and Bald Tuo continued their pursuit and escape.
After more than half an hour, Lu Hui finally caught up with Bald Tuo and engaged in a fight to the death with him.
Mo Hua and the others stopped at a distance and did not approach.
Bald Tuo, having struggled against Mo Shan and then run with all his might, was now at the end of his strength.
Lu Hui had also consumed a lot of Spiritual Power, but he was much better off than Bald Tuo.
However, he was puzzled as to why Bald Tuo, with his excellent movement techniques, had not been able to escape.
But he didn’t have time to ponder these things; he needed to capture Bald Tuo as soon as possible.
After more than a dozen rounds of all-out fighting, the victor slowly emerged.
Lu Hui’s sword pierced Bald Tuo’s shoulder.
Bald Tuo knelt on the ground, knowing he couldn’t hold on any longer and filled with unwillingness, so he angrily drew his knife and slashed toward Lu Hui’s chest.
But he knew in his heart that he was too exhausted from the long fight, that his knife was slow, and that he would surely not hit Lu Hui.
Lu Hui sneered in contempt.
Bald Tuo’s knife posed no threat; he just needed to step back to avoid it unscathed.
Lu Hui was about to step back when he didn’t notice a cold light flash in Mo Hua’s eyes from afar. She moved her hand slightly, and chains of Spiritual Power suddenly appeared, locking him in place!
Lu Hui, halfway through stepping back, realized he was paralyzed and was terrified in an instant!
Before he could regain his composure, Bald Tuo’s knife had chopped onto his chest.
The knife broke through the soft armor in front of his chest, and the blade cut into his torso, blood spraying forth in an instant.
