Chapter 156: The Offensive

The ground fire arrays exploded in succession, as splendid as fireworks. Accompanied by the Qian family cultivators crying for their fathers and mothers and fleeing like wolves and pigs, it was a very lively scene.

Mo Hua, who had eaten his fill and drunk his fill, nodded, very satisfied.

There were other demon hunters watching at the entrance of the mine cave. Seeing the miserable state of the Qian family cultivators, they all cheered.

"Explode well!"

"Explode some more loudly!"

After being harassed by the Qian family's sneak attacks for consecutive days, the stifling feeling was swept away.

Elder Yu also felt greatly happy and scolded the Qian family from top to bottom again.

Now that the demon hunters had relaxed, the pressure came onto the Qian family cultivators.

Fight or not fight?

If they fought, they would be exploded to the point of rolling and pissing themselves. If they didn't fight, it would be equivalent to handing over the spirit mine.

No matter what, it was unacceptable to the Qian family.

The next day, the Qian family tidied up the battlefield and carried the injured back for treatment.

Originally, there were only more injured and not many dead.

But some injured cultivators were intercepted by demon beasts on the way back.

Smelling the scent of blood, the demon beasts found them. The heavily injured Qian family cultivators had just left the battlefield when they entered the stomachs of the demon beasts.

The head of the Qian family, Qian Hong, was greatly angry and ordered that no matter what, they must take down the spirit mine!

The big man of the Qian family who received the order felt double the pressure and could only bitterly contemplate in a camp outside Wuming Feng.

The big man's name was Qian Zhuang. He was a direct descendant of the Qian family, but not from Qian Hong's branch, so Qian Hong just let him come for this kind of matter where he had to go to battle and risk his life.

This happened to suit his intentions. Although he was a direct descendant, he was not heavily used in the clan, and his future was uncertain.

If he could attack and take down the spirit mine this time, then the family would definitely look at him with new eyes. At that time, if they rewarded him with some spirit stones and pills, then he would have hope for foundation building.

As long as he became a foundation building cultivator, he could mix into an elder's position and even call wind and summon rain in the Qian family.

The power of the Qian family elders was very great, but the promotion was also very strict.

Either you had foundation building cultivation, or you had extremely high attainments in array, alchemy, or artifact refining, or you held an important position in the sect or Dao Court, or you made outstanding contributions to the family.

Qian Zhuang did not meet any of the other conditions. If he wanted to be an elder, there was only one path, which was to become a foundation building cultivator.

So, he must attack and take down this spirit mine. Otherwise, not only would he have no merit, but he would also have a great fault!

The cultivators within the family were all considered relatives, so they were also considered not relatives.

If they could not bring benefits to the family, then they were useless people.

Qian Zhuang did not want to be a useless person. He wanted to attack and take down the spirit mine, step on these demon hunters, and climb to a higher position in the Qian family.

After a while, a Qian family disciple came in and reported:

"Big Brother, the brothers have looked. What exploded last night was an array!"

Qian Zhuang frowned, "Array? This group of country bumpkins actually knows how to use arrays?"

"Yes!"

Qian Zhuang's brows furrowed even deeper.

He couldn't help but think, wasn't the vine armor that they couldn't chop through when they attacked before also drawn with arrays?

"What array?"

"A disciple went back to the clan to ask Master Qian. Master Qian said it looks like it should be a ground fire array."

Master Qian was an array master of the Qian family. Although he had not yet reached the first grade, it was only a matter of time. Others flattered him by calling him "Master."

"Ground fire array? What level?"

"Seven array patterns."

Qian Zhuang's expression turned cold, "It actually has seven array patterns, no wonder."

Seven array patterns could injure cultivators in the late stage of refining qi. If several were superimposed, the power would be even stronger.

Qian Zhuang felt hatred in his heart and couldn't help but sneer, "There's actually still an array master who will help this group of poor ghosts!"

He didn't believe that these poor rogue cultivators could afford the price to invite an array master.

This array master most likely signed a spirit contract with them. After the matter succeeded, they would be able to divide the spirit stones inside the spirit mine.

The world is bustling, coming and going for profit. This array master was no exception.

That disciple said, "Big Brother, what should we do next?"

Qian Zhuang said, "No harm, just a seven-pattern array master. It's nothing."

How many arrays could a single array master draw?

They were exploded once last night, and it was estimated that they used quite a few ground fire arrays. He just didn't believe that there would still be ground fire arrays to explode them tonight.

Mo Hua indeed could not draw too many. He could only draw seven or eight ground fire arrays a day.

But Mo Hua still had quite a few ordinary ground fire arrays on hand, all of which were previous stock.

Originally, these ground fire arrays were left for demon hunters in the middle stage of refining qi to set traps and hunt demon beasts.

The demon hunters and the Qian family had become enemies, and Elder Yu no longer allowed the demon hunters to enter Hei'an Shan to hunt demons, so Mo Hua had a large stock of ground fire arrays on hand. Now was just a good time to clear the stock.

Thus, the Qian family disciples were out of luck.

The Qian family was exploded on the first night.

They went again on the second night and were exploded again.

On the third day and fourth day, they were still exploded.

Qian Zhuang was greatly angry and then went personally. He wanted to know exactly how many ground fire arrays this group of demon hunters had on hand.

But the Qian family disciples were unwilling.

Stepping on a ground fire array, although they might not necessarily die, they would certainly be injured. It was easy to be intercepted by demon beasts when going down the mountain, and their lives would be lost in the stomachs of the demon beasts.

So many Qian family cultivators then sprouted the intention to retreat. They only lingered at the edge and did not dare to go step on the ground fire array.

Qian Zhuang knew in his heart that it was not good, so he said impassionedly:

"Brothers, we have already attacked for four days. It's impossible for them to have that many arrays. Now they are estimated to be exhausted..."

"We are just short of this one step. We must not let success slip through our fingers! Otherwise, all sacrifices will be in vain!"

"As long as we attack and occupy the spirit mine, the family head will surely heavily reward us!"

The Qian family cultivators were inspired to be hot-blooded and stepped onto the mountain road again.

Then they fled in embarrassment once again amidst the firelight of the ground fire arrays, defeated and returned.

Mo Hua stood at the waist of the mountain, looking at this scene before his eyes, and couldn't help but respect the Qian family cultivator who commanded them.

He actually used human lives to consume his stock of arrays. He was indeed a ruthless person!

And at this time, Qian Zhuang, who was looking at this scene, almost spat out blood.

Damn, how were there still arrays?

Did you grow ten hands? Can you draw so many arrays?

Looking at the large section of mountain terrain before his eyes, which was rugged and lush with vegetation.

Qian Zhuang even had a shadow.

But their hearts were scattered in a short period of time and they were unable to attack again, so the Qian family once again could only furl their flags and drums.

The demon hunters did not waste a single soldier or pawn and just repelled the Qian family's offensive.

Elder Yu's expression towards Mo Hua was even more amiable and kind, which made Yu Chengyi, as his son, feel very unpleasant in his heart.

His dad might never have a good face towards him, again bad again hard, like a pickled vegetable's stone.

After a few days of rest, the demon hunters' state was also much better, and their expressions were also somewhat relaxed.

Mo Hua suddenly thought of a problem and asked Elder Yu worriedly:

"What should we do if the Qian family sends foundation building cultivators?"

"Whatever we should do, we still do."

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "Shouldn't foundation building cultivators be very powerful?"

Elder Yu nodded, "Foundation building is indeed powerful, but it's not absolutely invincible."

Mo Hua frowned, not quite understanding.

Elder Yu looked at Mo Hua and explained again:

"The cultivation of one foundation building cultivator is roughly equivalent to ten cultivators in the late stage of refining qi. If one, or even five or six cultivators in the late stage of refining qi, fight against a foundation building cultivator, they will have no chance of winning. Because they fundamentally cannot hold a few moves..."

"But if ten or more cultivators in the late stage of refining qi with rich slaughter experience entangle with one foundation building cultivator, then victory or defeat is unknown. In the end, it will probably be exchanging injury for injury, life for life, ten lives for one. They will fight until all the cultivators in the late stage of refining qi are dead. Even if the foundation building cultivator does not die in the end, they will be heavily injured or near death."

"If there are dozens, or even up to hundreds of cultivators in the late stage of refining qi, as long as the foundation building cultivator cannot run away, they will definitely be worn to death."

"As the saying goes, even a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves. This is exactly the reason."

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

The fifth watch is so tiring ah
