Mo Hua silently considered:
Five Elements Source Formation…
Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun practiced Body Cultivation; exchanging blows with the leader, their movements fluid and never stationary.
It’s pointless to count on Hao Xuan, who would be lucky just to escape.
Yi Li and Situ Jian could be tried, but Cheng Mo might not be able to keep the leader occupied.
Should Yi Li and Situ Jian get attacked abruptly by the leader while boosted by the Five Elements and gathering energy, they would be severely injured, if not killed.
As for using Spells…
The Water Prison Technique could restrain but only for a moment; it wouldn’t solve much.
Cheng Mo and the others were limited in their Cultivation and couldn’t bring a swift resolve to the fight.
The Meteor Fire Forbidden Art… required close proximity to use.
Approaching under such circumstances was far too dangerous.
Mo Hua was hesitant to take this risk.
Moreover, what complicated matters further was that Mo Hua couldn’t afford to prolong this…
Although Cheng Mo and the others were talented and decently inherited, they were merely novices, lacking experience and only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.
If the leader were to use some last-resort move and suddenly lash out, Cheng Mo and his group might all be in mortal peril.
Even just wearing them down was risky under the threatening Demonic Qi; Cheng Mo and his friends couldn’t hold out for long.
Continuing like this, a mistake was inevitable.
Once a mistake was made, they would either be severely injured or killed.
Mo Hua sighed, reflecting to himself:
“In battles of magic and combat, one ideally needs a ‘front line’ to blend in effectively…”
In previous missions, Senior Brother Feng and Shangguan Senior Brother were always at the forefront, bearing the brunt of the pressure.
And Senior Sister Murong and Qianqian Senior Sister, with their strong Cultivation and aggressive techniques, played crucial roles.
In evenly matched battles, a slight edge from a control Spell could change the flow and secure victory.
The same was true during engagements with Fire Buddha.
With Uncle Gu, a Golden Core Cultivator, at the front, taking on the full brunt of Fire Buddha’s Meteor Fire Forbidden Art’s power.
