Chapter 160
The surroundings quieted down for a moment.
“I know spells,” Mo Hua emphasized.
Elder Yu gathered his thoughts and began with praise:
“Not bad, you pursue Spiritual Cultivation; study spells diligently, and you’ll definitely have a bright future.”
These words were spoken with some guilt.
After the compliment, Elder Yu continued to advise:
“But your current level is still low, and your spiritual power is weak, even if you know spells, it is not suitable for fighting with others, especially in this kind of chaotic situation.”
Elder Yu feared that Mo Hua, in a moment of rashness, would rush out and fight with the Qian Family Cultivators.
In such chaotic combat, if not well protected, Spiritual Cultivators are extremely vulnerable.
Yu Chengyi also hurriedly nodded, he too was concerned about any accident befalling Mo Hua.
However, Mo Shan looked at Mo Hua as if deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Hua said, “I should be able to help a bit.”
Elder Yu was slightly taken aback, “How so?”
“I can’t contribute much in a melee, but I can help deal with those Spiritual Cultivators.”
Elder Yu frowned.
Mo Hua explained, “I’m only at the Qi Refining Sixth Level; my spells aren’t very powerful, they might not kill them, but interrupting their spells shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“What if they use spells against you?” Yu Chengyi asked.
Mo Hua chuckled, “They won’t be able to hit me.”
Yu Chengyi was stunned, “Why not?”
Mo Hua replied, “Their Divine Sense is inferior to mine; I’ll stand outside the range of their Divine Sense. If their Divine Sense can’t reach me, their spells naturally won’t hit me.”
Yu Chengyi suddenly realized and exchanged a look with Elder Yu.
Elder Yu made a decision, “Alright, we’ll try it tomorrow, but you must stay inside the mine; absolutely do not go out.”
“Mhm,” Mo Hua nodded in agreement.
The next day, the battle resumed.
The Qian Family replicated their tactics, using Body Cultivators to distract and Spiritual Cultivators’ spells to attack, slowly wearing down the Monster Hunters.
The Monster Hunters, having received covert instructions from Elder Yu, didn’t charge into the fray but focused on dodging spells to ensure they wouldn’t be injured.
At the same time, some Monster Hunters with good movement techniques harassed from the sides, feinting attacks on the Qian Family’s Spiritual Cultivators from behind, drawing away the Body Cultivators and causing them to spread out.
This distraction and pulling spread the Qian Family’s Spiritual Cultivators thin, bringing them into Mo Hua’s sight.
Mo Hua cast spells, which did not require a visual, but only the locking of Divine Sense.
Separating the Qian Family’s Body Cultivators was meant to prevent them from blocking the Fireball Technique.
Elder Yu stood behind Mo Hua.
He wouldn’t intervene in the battle, but that didn’t prevent him from protecting Mo Hua.
Should Mo Hua truly be in danger, he would certainly not stand idly by.
If the Taoist Court’s reputation was tarnished, so be it. It didn’t matter if the Court Leader couldn’t be easily explained away; he would simply apologize profusely, he was thick-skinned anyway.
A Junior Formation Master who’d already reached the threshold of the First-grade Formation Method at such a young age was still one of their Loose Cultivators.
Elder Yu knew very well what was more important.
Elder Yu assessed the positions of the Qian Family’s Spiritual Cultivators and whispered to Mo Hua:
“Isn’t that a bit far, can you hit them?”
Elder Yu knew of Mo Hua’s strong Divine Sense, capable of creating First-grade Formations.
But a strong Divine Sense didn’t necessarily mean precise spellcasting. Such a distance made hitting the target not an easy task.
Mo Hua was also uncertain, “It should work.”
One had to try regardless.
In the heat of battle, the Qian Family’s Spiritual Cultivators began to cast their spells.
Elder Yu’s gaze sharpened as he knew the battle was about to begin.
Then he saw Mo Hua raise a hand, with fingers pinched together, launching a fireball.
Elder Yu was surprised, “That fast?”
He hadn’t even noticed Mo Hua’s movements, and a fireball had already been cast and flown out.
The fireball traced an arc, hitting one of the Qian Family’s Spiritual Cultivators.
Caught off guard while channeling halfway, the Cultivator was hit by the Fireball Technique, disrupting the half-completed spell.
