Chapter 164 Who Is It (Three More)_1
After being stealthily attacked, Monster Hunter Mo Shan was always vigilant.
He faintly guessed that among the cultivators employed by the Qian Family, there was one who excelled in the Concealment Technique and was attacking in secret, so he became much more cautious with his moves, trying not to leave any openings.
At the same time, he paid attention to the battlefield, looking for any traces of this cultivator.
Although Mo Shan was sharp in observation, his Divine Sense was not so strong; thus, he could not see through the Concealment Technique.
Just then, he saw a fireball!
At a glance, he recognized it as the Fireball Technique used by his son, Mo Hua.
And after the Fireball Technique was launched, it exploded a short and petite Black-Clothed Cultivator out of a space that had previously appeared empty.
“Mo Hua’s Divine Sense can perceive this Hidden cultivator!”
Mo Shan’s spirit was lifted; he kept an eye out for the Fireball Technique while battling with the Qian Family’s cultivators.
Indeed, every time a fireball flew by, the stealth attacks from the Black-Clothed Cultivator would be interrupted and he would briefly become visible.
Mo Shan silently took note, quietly waiting for the Black-Clothed Cultivator to expose an opening.
Just now, the heart of the Black-Clothed Cultivator became perturbed, his Spiritual Power became chaotic, and his figure was revealed.
Seizing the opportunity, Mo Shan grabbed his shoulder and fiercely slammed the Black-Clothed Cultivator to the ground.
The Black-Clothed Cultivator, proficient in stealth and malevolent in attack, did not have a strong physique; with this slam, his bones broke, and he spat out fresh blood, feeling a chill in his heart.
A cultivator who practices the Concealment Technique, once his movements are detected, it means a great disaster is imminent!
Especially on a battlefield where several cultivators are mixed in combat.
The Black-Clothed Cultivator, enduring agonizing pain, tried to circulate his Spiritual Power to enact the Concealment Technique again.
Yu Chengyi seized the moment and rushed over with large strides, delivering a heavy kick to his abdomen.
The Black-Clothed Cultivator felt his internal organs shift, his body curled up, and was kicked far away by this foot, landing right in the midst of a group of Monster Hunters.
The Monster Hunters were already simmering with anger; seeing this, they all greeted the Black-Clothed Cultivator with their knives.
By the time the Qian Family’s cultivators arrived and managed to rescue the Black-Clothed Cultivator, he was already covered in knife wounds, barely clinging to life.
Elder Yu watched with glee and laughed heartily.
Without that Hidden cultivator, the Qian Family could only be slowly whittled away.
Elder Yu couldn’t help but take another look at Mo Hua.
He thought to himself that this kid Mo Hua, with his exquisite use of the Fireball Technique, both fast and accurate, might indeed become an incredible Spiritual Cultivator in the future.
Now he was still young, with a low cultivation level and weak spiritual power, so his Fireball Technique could only be considered tricky and unconventional, used to interrupt or confuse the battle.
If his cultivation became higher in the future and the power of his Fireball Technique was not to be underestimated, and you were suddenly targeted at your heart or Qi Sea…
You wouldn’t even know where he was.
Putting himself in the shoes of others, Elder Yu thought about it and found it quite troublesome just by thinking about it.
At the same time, Qian Zhongxuan was furious.
It was the Fireball Technique again!
He was originally watching the spectacle, enjoying the Black-Clothed Cultivator toy with the Monster Hunters, watching each Monster Hunter fall one by one, and thinking about how Elder Yu Changlin must be feeling frustrated and helpless yet incapable of doing anything.
In the blink of an eye, the one feeling frustrated and helpless was him!
Qian Zhongxuan’s gaze turned cold, and he suddenly released his Divine Sense; he wanted to see who exactly was using the Fireball Technique!
Just as his Divine Sense was about to reach Mo Hua, Elder Yu suddenly appeared, shielding Mo Hua.
Qian Zhongxuan felt his Divine Sense blocked and upon a closer look, it was again Elder Yu Changlin’s old face!
Elder Yu looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, Qian Zhongxuan sensed danger and immediately shouted through clenched teeth, “Retreat!”
Qian Zhongxuan was getting quite proficient at shouting this “Retreat.”
Seeing Qian Zhongxuan withdrawing, and no longer having his Divine Sense spying, Elder Yu then embraced Mo Hua and leaped into the mineshaft.
“In the future, we must be more careful and never take risks; if it’s not necessary to make a move, don’t do it,” Elder Yu advised.
He was afraid that Mo Hua’s actions would be noticed by the Qian Family and, knowing Qian Zhongxuan’s petty nature, he reckoned the old man might shamelessly cause trouble for Mo Hua.
“Uh-huh,” nodded Mo Hua with his little head, “either don’t make a move, but if I do, it’s for the opponent’s life!”
Mo Hua spoke with a childlike voice, full of spite.
Elder Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “Who taught you that?”
“My dad did!”
Elder Yu nodded with a smile, “Well said! The Cultivation World is perilous, either don’t act, but once you do, show no mercy. Your dad taught you well!”
Pride swelled in Mo Hua as his dad was praised, and he nodded in agreement.
The Black-Clothed Cultivator was crippled, Qian Zhongxuan called a retreat, and the Qian Family cultivators slunk away in defeat. Yet during their withdrawal, they were ambushed by the Monster Hunter, and many were wounded or lost.
Now Qian Zhongxuan was really in a fix, his investment had gone to waste, his forces were reduced, and the spiritual mine seemed to be out of the question.
