Chapter 243: Delay

The Fireball Technique exploded, changing the situation, and both sides temporarily stopped fighting.

The hidden cultivator was slightly stunned, then became enraged.

Some unpleasant and humiliating memories surfaced.

It's that damned Fireball Technique again!

The hidden cultivator's figure shifted slightly, retreating to a distance, looking around, and said angrily, "Who is using the Fireball Technique?"

Silence all around.

The leading one-eyed criminal cultivator yelled, "Diao Laosan, don't worry about the others, kill the guy named Ji first!"

Mo Hua, hiding in the dark, narrowed his eyes slightly.

This cultivator, dressed in black, with a thin build, malicious eyes, and skilled in concealment, was originally named Diao Laosan.

He silently remembered this name.

Diao Laosan looked around, then released his spiritual sense to scan, still seeing no one, and his heart sank.

That feeling of being ambushed by someone, without knowing who, surged in his heart again.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator frowned, "It's just a Fireball Technique, are you so scared?"

The one-eyed criminal cultivator's cultivation was deeper than ordinary Qi Condensation level nine, and Ji Qingbai had been in Qi Condensation level nine for many years, his cultivation also on par with him, which was why they could be in a stalemate for so long.

Originally, the criminal cultivators intended to use the hidden cultivator's sneak attack to kill Ji Qingbai and the others as early as possible, so they could retreat calmly.

Now, it seemed Ji Qingbai and the others were about to collapse.

But unexpectedly, Diao Laosan became hesitant because of a Fireball Technique.

Diao Laosan was reluctant to admit it, but had to, and could only say unhappily:

"The person using this Fireball Technique can see through my concealment technique. I was defeated by him last time."

The one-eyed criminal cultivator sneered, "Didn't you say that your concealment technique is undetectable by anyone below Foundation Establishment?"

Diao Laosan's withered old face flushed red.

Seeing this, the one-eyed criminal cultivator stopped dwelling on it and asked, "Are you sure the cultivator using this Fireball Technique is the same person who saw through your concealment technique last time?"

Diao Laosan pondered for a moment, suddenly a little unsure.

That familiar feeling was exactly the same.

It was as if a wisp of spiritual sense was clinging to him like a maggot, impossible to shake off.

This made Diao Laosan believe that the person using the Fireball Technique was still the same person as before.

But the power of this Fireball Technique had increased significantly.

Before, it was only Mid-Qi Condensation, but now it had the power of a Late-Qi Condensation technique, although at most it was around the seventh or eighth level.

Could it be that this person's realm had improved, so the power of the Fireball Technique also increased?

But if that were the case, this cultivator was only at Qi Condensation level seven or eight, how could spiritual sense at such a realm see through his concealment technique?

Diao Laosan hesitated.

Seeing his appearance, the one-eyed criminal cultivator couldn't help but curse:

"Stop your damn hesitation! Attack as you should, I'll handle that cultivator."

Diao Laosan's eyes darkened, and then his figure disappeared. The other few criminal cultivators also attacked Ji Qingbai and the other two demon hunters simultaneously, forcing them to expose weaknesses.

Diao Laosan also found a weak point and slashed his dagger towards the throat of one of the demon hunters.

But he remained vigilant, guarding against the Fireball Technique.

Indeed, a Fireball Technique flew over again.

Diao Laosan quickly retreated a step and flashed away, and this Fireball Technique also missed.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator, who had been watching the surroundings, suddenly his eyes shone brightly.

He turned around and went straight to the direction from which the Fireball Technique came, which was where Mo Hua was hiding.

"Hiding and showing your tail, get out here!"

The one-eyed criminal cultivator shouted loudly, and after a few flashes, he reached behind a big tree and also discovered Mo Hua hiding behind the tree.

His figure was small, his face was young, his eyes were clear, and he even smiled at him.

"It's a kid?"

The one-eyed criminal cultivator was startled, but his actions didn't stop. He stretched out a large hand and grabbed towards Mo Hua's neck.

Mo Hua, on the other hand, used Shi Shui Bu, calmly dodging the criminal cultivator's hand.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator let out a surprised sound and continued to reach out to grab him.

Mo Hua rolled over to dodge, then attached spiritual power to his feet, stood vertically on the tree trunk, and lightly walked up the tree.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator directly drew his knife and slashed directly at Mo Hua.

But after a few slashes, each swift, Mo Hua could always narrowly dodge them.

Every time the one-eyed criminal cultivator thought the next slash would hit, it was always just a little off, just missing.

After several rounds of this, he instantly understood.

"This kid is playing with me! He's stalling for time!"

"Damn it!"

The one-eyed criminal cultivator was furious, but he was also helpless, because he found that the kid's movement technique was far superior to his.

He couldn't even touch the hem of the kid's clothes.

At such a young age, it was truly baffling.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator spat a curse, could only turn around, and go back to find Ji Qingbai, shouting, "Kill the guy named Ji first!"

After killing the Ji father and son, they could get spirit stones from the Kong family.

Spirit stones were the most important.

As for these demon hunters and this kid, it wasn't too late to settle accounts with them later!

But while he wanted to run, Mo Hua didn't agree. With a backhand Fireball Technique, he directly smashed it onto the back of the one-eyed criminal cultivator.

Although not fatal, it was very painful, and the meridians were burned by the fire, causing significant damage.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator was furious and went after Mo Hua again, but he couldn't catch him.

When he tried to run, Mo Hua threw another Fireball Technique at him.

Mo Hua's Fireball Technique was both fast and accurate, and he had nowhere to avoid it, he could only take it head-on.

After this happening three times, his clothes were almost burned to shreds.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator was extremely frustrated, he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't escape.

Finally, Diao Laosan and the other two criminal cultivators came to support, and Mo Hua stopped.

But this also gave Ji Qingbai and the other two a chance to catch their breath.

The situation instantly became a stalemate again.

Mo Hua wanted to stall for time, so a stalemate was the best.

The criminal cultivators wanted to kill people. If it dragged on, the demon hunters' reinforcements would arrive, and they wouldn't be able to kill anyone.

But with Mo Hua helping to hold them back, with four against four, they couldn't determine a winner in a short time.

Especially Diao Laosan, whose body cultivation method was very ordinary. In a head-on confrontation, he was no match for the demon hunters at all.

He could only rely on his concealment technique, taking them by surprise, attacking when they were unprepared.

Now that his concealment technique had been seen through by Mo Hua, he was practically useless.

All the cultivators present were looking at Mo Hua.

The criminal cultivators' eyes were angry, while Ji Qingbai's eyes were somewhat incredulous.

He never expected that Mo Hua, with only Qi Condensation level seven cultivation, could single-handedly hold back that deep-cultivation one-eyed criminal cultivator.

Moreover, that cultivator skilled in concealment, who was like a ghost, could also have his traces seen through by him.

And that Fireball Technique, he used it very skillfully.

Indeed, like father, like son. Although his skills were different from Mo Shan's and he didn't take the path of body cultivation, they were still quite remarkable.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the one-eyed criminal cultivator looked at Ji Qingbai and said sarcastically:

"This kid shouldn't be your son, right? Oh, by the way, your son is already dead. His body is probably thrown somewhere, being gnawed by wild wolves."

Hearing this, Ji Qingbai suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, his face turned pale, his fingers couldn't help but tremble, almost unable to hold his knife.

Mo Hua then said to Ji Qingbai:

"Ji Dage is not dead."

Ji Qingbai suddenly looked up, his eyes red-rimmed, and said hopefully, "Really?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded seriously.

Mo Hua's eyes were very sincere.

Ji Qingbai suddenly became invigorated, as if endless strength surged through his body, and he re-gripped the knife in his hand.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator, however, sneered:

"Impossible, that kid named Ji is definitely dead! He will surely die!"

Mo Hua looked at him, "How do you know?"

The one-eyed criminal cultivator said coldly, "Zhao Hu went after him, how could he be alive? It's already good if he's not dismembered."

"Is Zhao Hu that big guy?"

The one-eyed criminal cultivator's only remaining eye narrowed slightly, "You've seen him?"

Mo Hua nodded.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator scoffed, "Impossible! If you've seen him, you're also definitely dead!"

Mo Hua said, "Anyway, I'm not dead. Whether he's dead or not is hard to say."

The one-eyed criminal cultivator snorted coldly, "Brat, stop spouting nonsense!"

Mo Hua smiled, took out the storage bag that was half burned, and shook it in front of him, but didn't say anything.

The one-eyed criminal cultivator's pupils contracted.

That storage bag belonged to Zhao Hu!
