And quickly, Murong Caiyun and the others caught on.
Wherever the Fireball Technique was directed, they would attack.
Hidden elder-second's face turned deathly pale.
A cultivator skilled in assassination, once their Concealment Technique was broken, was like a man who had lost his legs, virtually useless.
He tried his best to break free, but a strand of Mo Hua's Divine Sense was indestructible and inexhaustible, tightly entwining around him, impossible to shake off no matter what he did.
"Seeing goddamn ghosts!"
Hidden elder-second had lived till now, fought countless battles, but had never encountered a cultivator with such a bizarre and terrifying Divine Sense.
Moreover, this strand of Divine Sense was binding tighter and tighter, locking him down more and more securely.
Like a hunting falcon extending its claws, firmly digging into his flesh.
Waiting only to take his life.
This kid wasn't only powerful in Divine Sense – his Divine Sense completely overwhelmed his own!
Sweat drenched the back of hidden elder-second.
He felt as if a sharp sword hung, just three inches from the back of his neck, its cold gleam to the bone, about to fall any second.
On the edge of life and death, hidden elder-second stimulated his potential and with all his might, fled for several rounds.
Each time he managed to narrowly escape amid the gaps between Mo Hua's fireballs, Sword Qi, and spells.
Hidden elder-second felt a sense of relief; perhaps he might have a chance to live if this continued.
But then he was startled, feeling something was wrong.
That kid's Divine Sense had completely locked him down. Logically speaking, his life should be hanging by a thread, so why could he still flee for so long?
And that Fireball Technique, though it chased him like a specter of death.
Every time he truly had no escape, the Fireball would delay for a bit, giving him a moment to catch his breath.
Allowing him to employ his Concealment Technique and slip away again...
Why?
Was it a cat playing with a mouse?
That little devil, was he toying with me?
Hidden elder-second's gaze turned venomous, and glancing back, he caught a glimpse of Mo Hua with a peripheral view. Mo Hua appeared focused, always watching him, his gaze intense, as if penetrating something...
Penetrating?
Hidden elder-second was taken aback, then profoundly shaken.
Penetrating...
This little devil!
Was he learning my Stealth Technique?!
Using Divine Sense to fixate on him, the Fireball Technique to press him, forcing him to display all his life's knowledge of the Stealth Technique and escape before him.
So, he could brazenly steal the technique!
Outrageous!
Hidden elder-second was shocked and furious, while deep down, also profoundly frightened.
"No way!"
"I must not let him learn it, nor even let him glimpse the secrets of the spell!"
Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill was the Ultimate Technique of the Five Hidden Gate.
In principle, it was not so simple to learn by theft, nor was it so easy to be deciphered.
But there was something very wrong with this kid.
Hidden elder-second dared not gamble.
He decided to "throw in the towel."
He realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake off that kid's Divine Sense lock.
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape from the combined assault of the four Sect Disciples.
Continuing to try, he might even allow the little devil to pilfer his years of Stealth Technique insights.
The legacy must not be lost!
If the secrets of Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill leaked out, he would lose his very foundation, unable to stand firm in the underworld of Qianxue State boundary.
Hidden elder-second steeled his heart.
That being the case, it might be better to give in.
His movements immediately became much more passive. He used only his movement technique to dodge the Sword Energy Spells, and his Stealth Technique began "hiding its clumsiness," using only the most basic techniques, no longer going all out.
After all, even the most simply executed Stealth Technique wouldn't be unraveled by those four Sect Disciples.
