The surroundings quieted down for a moment.
âI know spells,â Mo Hua emphasized.
Elder Yu gathered his thoughts and began with praise:
âNot bad, you pursue Spiritual Cultivation; study spells diligently, and youâll definitely have a bright future.â
These words were spoken with some guilt.
After the compliment, Elder Yu continued to advise:
âBut 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.â
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, âI should be able to help a bit.â
Elder Yu was slightly taken aback, âHow so?â
âI canât contribute much in a melee, but I can help deal with those Spiritual Cultivators.â
Elder Yu frowned.
Mo Hua explained, âIâm only at the Qi Refining Sixth Level; my spells arenât very powerful, they might not kill them, but interrupting their spells shouldnât be a big problem.â
âWhat if they use spells against you?â Yu Chengyi asked.
Mo Hua chuckled, âThey wonât be able to hit me.â
Yu Chengyi was stunned, âWhy not?â
Mo Hua replied, âTheir Divine Sense is inferior to mine; Iâll stand outside the range of their Divine Sense. If their Divine Sense canât reach me, their spells naturally wonât hit me.â
Yu Chengyi suddenly realized and exchanged a look with Elder Yu.
Elder Yu made a decision, âAlright, weâll try it tomorrow, but you must stay inside the mine; absolutely do not go out.â
âMhm,â Mo Hua nodded in agreement.
The next day, the battle resumed.
The Qian Family replicated their tactics, using Body Cultivators to distract and Spiritual Cultivatorsâ spells to attack, slowly wearing down the Monster Hunters.
The Monster Hunters, having received covert instructions from Elder Yu, didnât charge into the fray but focused on dodging spells to ensure they wouldnât be injured.
At the same time, some Monster Hunters with good movement techniques harassed from the sides, feinting attacks on the Qian Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators from behind, drawing away the Body Cultivators and causing them to spread out.
This distraction and pulling spread the Qian Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators thin, bringing them into Mo Huaâs sight.
Mo Hua cast spells, which did not require a visual, but only the locking of Divine Sense.
Separating the Qian Familyâs Body Cultivators was meant to prevent them from blocking the Fireball Technique.
Elder Yu stood behind Mo Hua.
He wouldnât intervene in the battle, but that didnât prevent him from protecting Mo Hua.
Should Mo Hua truly be in danger, he would certainly not stand idly by.
If the Taoist Courtâs reputation was tarnished, so be it. It didnât matter if the Court Leader couldnât be easily explained away; he would simply apologize profusely, he was thick-skinned anyway.
A Junior Formation Master whoâd 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 Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators and whispered to Mo Hua:
âIsnât that a bit far, can you hit them?â
Elder Yu knew of Mo Huaâs strong Divine Sense, capable of creating First-grade Formations.
But a strong Divine Sense didnât necessarily mean precise spellcasting. Such a distance made hitting the target not an easy task.
Mo Hua was also uncertain, âIt should work.â
One had to try regardless.
In the heat of battle, the Qian Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators began to cast their spells.
Elder Yuâs 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, âThat fast?â
He hadnât even noticed Mo Huaâs movements, and a fireball had already been cast and flown out.
The fireball traced an arc, hitting one of the Qian Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators.
Caught off guard while channeling halfway, the Cultivator was hit by the Fireball Technique, disrupting the half-completed spell.
It hit!
Elder Yu inwardly delighted, but then saw Mo Huaâs expression was somewhat unhappy, muttering, âDidnât hitâ¦â
âWasnât it a hit?â Elder Yu couldnât help but ask.
Mo Hua regretfully said, âNo, I aimed for the heart meridian, but hit the wrist.â
Elder Yu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Being able to hit from this far is already good enough, and you still want to hit the heart meridian?
âAlrightâ¦â
Not wanting to seem inexperienced, Elder Yu suppressed his shock and said nonchalantly,
âItâs good enough to be able to hit, donât be too hard on yourself. Just aim better next time.â
âOkay!â
Mo Hua joined his fingers and, in the blink of an eye, the second Fireball Technique flew out.
This time, Elder Yu watched carefully.
It was indeed too fast!
Elder Yu was surprised, thinking, âI wonder who this child learned his spells from. Itâs just an Ordinary Fireball Technique, but it looks so evilâ¦â
After the second Fireball Technique was launched, it hit a Qian Family Spiritual Cultivatorâs shoulder.
Mo Hua sighed regretfully, then adjusted his mindset, held his breath and focused his Divine Sense, and continued to cast the Fireball Technique.
Luckily, the third and fourth Fireball Techniques were quite accurate.
One of them definitely hit the heart meridian of a Spiritual Cultivator, who immediately fell down stiffly. Although it wasnât fatal, he wouldnât be getting up any time soon.
The other exploded on a Spiritual Cultivatorâs face, blossoming his face open and burning off all his hair.
Elder Yu watched silently from the side, but his eyelids kept twitching.
Is this really the Fireball Technique?
Can it really be this accurate?
This is outrageousâ¦
Group battles are inherently chaotic; one Fireball Technique isnât much, but two or three are noticeable.
Especially when one is lying stiff on the ground and anotherâs face has bloomed.
Even a fool would realize something wasnât right!
âSpell?!â
âThereâs a Spiritual Cultivator on the other side!â
The Qian Family Cultivators looked towards Mo Hua, who dropped his small body to the ground, and the thick bushes concealed him completely.
Many Divine Senses swept over Mo Huaâs area, but found nothing.
Mo Huaâs location was something that was out of reach for most Qi Refining Ninth Level Cultivatorsâ Divine Senses.
Unwilling to give up, the Qian Family Spiritual Cultivators condensed their spells and threw them towards Mo Hua.
For a moment, Fireballs, Water Arrows, Wind Blades, and Golden Lights dazzlingly flew towards him.
However, these spells, once reaching not far from Mo Hua and losing control of Divine Sense, gradually dissipated and couldnât reach Mo Hua at all.
Mo Hua now completely let go of his worries.
Since the Qian Family Spiritual Cultivators couldnât hit him and the Body Cultivators couldnât rush over, he could now act without any reservations.
Mo Hua poked his little head out, swiftly casting his Fireball Technique.
One by one, the Fireball Techniques flew over the vegetation, over the rocks, and hit the Qian Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators.
The Fireball Technique of a Qi Refining Sixth Level wasnât very powerful, but it was still unpleasant when it hit, especially when it hit vital areas.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Spiritual Cultivators were not good at Body Cultivation. Being hit by a Fireball Technique, even if it wasnât a serious injury, would still result in wounds, and some were blown to a state of ash and dust, with their hair burned away.
And with Mo Huaâs Fireball Technique suppressing them, they were simply unable to cast any spells.
With the Qian Familyâs Spiritual Cultivators unable to cast spells, the Monster Hunters were no longer restrained.
Yu Chengyiâs eyes brightened, and he shouted loudly, âKill!â
The Monster Hunters responded in unison, and for a moment, the shouts and cries of battle shook the heavens.
Spiritual Power overflowed, Blood Qi surged out, and the Monster Hunters unleashed slashes of knife light, attacking the Qian Family Cultivators.
The Qian Family Cultivators were stunned.
Originally, they had a clear division of labor: Spiritual Cultivators would attack, Body Cultivators would defend, with both types collaborating, one suppressing while the other wore the opponent down.
Now that the Spiritual Cultivators couldnât attack and the Body Cultivators didnât have the suppression of the Spiritual Cultivatorsâ spells, they simply couldnât defend themselves.
Under the fierce onslaught of the Monster Hunters, the Qian Family was once again forced to retreat in defeat.
Qian Zhongxuan saw what was happening and his face turned ashen.
âWhere did that spell come from?â
He released his Divine Sense and swept towards where Mo Hua was. But Elder Yu suddenly appeared, blocking his probing Divine Sense.
Qian Zhongxuanâs eyes snapped open to see Elder Yu looking at him with a mocking and disdainful gaze.
Just as Elder Yu was about to scold him, Qian Zhongxuan made a decisive command,
âRetreat!â
