Chapter 245: Ambush

The one-eyed evil cultivator led a group of evil cultivators back the way they came, arriving at the foot of the mountain slope. They ambushed themselves in the bushes and looked up.

They saw only four people on the quiet small mountain slope.

Ji Qingbai and the other two were covered in bloodstains and were still in meditation healing, while that small cultivator was keeping a vigilant watch beside the three of them.

"Didn't escape, waiting here to die?" Diao Laosan sneered.

The one-eyed evil cultivator, however, frowned, "There's probably a trick."

"Release divine sense to check?" a evil cultivator asked.

"Will be detected."

"Again there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators, we'll just be careful when we check."

"That little brat, his divine sense is abnormally strong. If we use our divine sense to spy, he will definitely discover us."

"How is that possible?"

"How would the old man lie to you?"

The evil cultivators argued for a few sentences, then the one-eyed cultivator asked: "Big brother, what should we do?"

The bald evil cultivator thought: "Ji Qingbai is a foreign cultivator and doesn't have many connections in Tongxian City, so he won't have many cultivators helping him."

"As for that little brat, he looks like a local monster hunter, but he's too young, so he definitely doesn't know many people."

"Even if there's an ambush, there won't be many people ambushing."

"There are enough of us to kill them all!"

The one-eyed cultivator nodded and couldn't help but flatter: "Big brother is wise!"

The bald evil cultivator's gaze turned cold and he continued: "What we do is a business where we lick blood from the blade. When meat is delivered to our doorstep, there's no reason not to eat it, even if it's placed on the blade."

All the evil cultivators showed sinister smiles and their eyes were greedy.

"Attack!"

The bald evil cultivator commanded.

More than twenty evil cultivators, like hungry wolves, all rushed up the mountain slope, then suddenly scattered, completely surrounding Mo Hua and the other three to prevent them from running away.

One evil cultivator stepped forward, wanting to catch Mo Hua, but as soon as his foot touched the ground, fire light instantly exploded.

That evil cultivator was blasted to the ground, half his body charred black, curling up and wailing, a miserable sight.

"Array?"

The evil cultivators' hearts were shocked, they looked at each other and all stopped advancing.

The power of an array should not be underestimated. For a time, no one was sure who set this array and exactly how many were set.

The atmosphere was slightly heavy, and the two sides began to confront each other again.

Mo Hua's expression showed a trace of fear and nervousness, but Diao Laosan didn't believe him at all. This little brat had many schemes and it was impossible for him to show this expression.

His gaze was sinister, and he said coldly:

"Little brat, don't pretend, let the ambushing people come out."

The fear and nervousness on Mo Hua's face receded, and he couldn't help but scratch his head, "Am I that bad at acting?"

He felt that his acting was actually quite good.

Diao Laosan's eyelid twitched, and he said angrily: "You're about to die, and you're still playing with words."

"How do you know I'm about to die?"

Diao Laosan lifted his dagger, and above the dagger, a sinister cold light emanated:

"Wait until I cut open your throat and poke out your eyes, then you'll naturally know."

Mo Hua was calm and fearless, "Then come here?"

Diao Laosan wanted to step over, but he didn't dare again.

He didn't know if there were still arrays on the ground and didn't dare to act rashly.

The one-eyed cultivator, however, frowned: "Something's not right."

This small cultivator's expression was too composed.

What did he rely on to be so composed? Just a few arrays on the ground?

Or did he have other reliance?

At this time, they had surrounded Mo Hua and the others, and he wasn't afraid of startling the snake, so he thought of releasing his divine sense to check.

But as soon as his divine sense was released, he perceived the surrounding aura, and his face instantly changed dramatically, and his whole body felt cold.

"Big brother!" the one-eyed cultivator said in a hurry.

Before he could say anything, figures of monster hunters appeared one after another on the surrounding mountain slope, completely surrounding the evil cultivators, a black mass. Roughly looking, there were more than two hundred people!

The one-eyed cultivator's face showed terror, and the faces of the other evil cultivators also instantly lost their blood color.

So many monster hunters!

How could there be so many monster hunters?

The inner mountain is so big, who exactly recruited so many monster hunters in such a short time?

At the same time, Mo Hua's clear and handsome eyebrows raised, his small hand pointed at the evil cultivators, and he said clearly:

"You are the ones about to die!"

Before his words fell, the monster hunters on the mountain slope all rushed down to kill, dense, like dark clouds pressing down, their momentum fierce.

"Big brother! What should we do?" the one-eyed cultivator said urgently.

The bald evil cultivator's eyes flashed with panic, then he said sternly: "Catch this little brat!"

He also guessed that this little brat's identity was absolutely not ordinary.

If they caught him, they could use this to threaten this group of monster hunters, and they would still have a way out.

Two evil cultivators rushed towards Mo Hua, but halfway there, they were again blasted away by a ground fire array.

Several other evil cultivators rushed past the ground fire array, but one was blocked by Ji Qingbai, and another was hit back by Yu Chengyi's fist.

The remaining few finally arrived in front of Mo Hua, but before they could make a move, Mo Hua had already retreated gracefully using the Passing Water Step. They didn't even touch a corner of Mo Hua's clothes.

The monster hunters covered and killed them. More than twenty evil cultivators were quickly submerged by the tide-like monster hunters and basically couldn't hold out for long.

Mo Hua exited the battle, his divine sense swept around, his gaze slightly condensed, then he raised his hand and threw a fireball towards a clump of bushes in the distance.

The fireball technique exploded, and a painful grunt came from the middle of the bushes. The hidden Diao Laosan also revealed his skinny figure.

Mo Hua pointed remotely again and shouted loudly: "Catch that short one, don't let him run!"

The nearby monster hunters heard this and ran straight towards Diao Laosan.

Diao Laosan hated Mo Hua to death in his heart.

He also hated how he had just learned this hidden technique and was countered to death by Mo Hua.

Now that the hidden technique was useless, he was like a mouse on a street in broad daylight, everyone could hit him.

Except for waiting to die, he basically had no way.

After a few rounds, Diao Laosan was knocked down by a monster hunter's fist, pressed under his body, and tied tightly with iron chains.

The front battlefield was similarly without suspense. Several evil cultivators were chopped to death on the spot, and most of the rest were caught. Only two people escaped.

One was that one-eyed cultivator. He was lucky. On the way of being chased and killed by the monster hunters, a demon beast suddenly jumped out and blocked the monster hunters' path, so he just luckily escaped.

The other was that bald evil cultivator. His body technique was extremely good, and he was extremely cunning.

He shouted that he wanted to catch Mo Hua, but saw that the situation was not good and was the first to run. His body technique was swift, and his figure was like a ghost. The monster hunters basically couldn't catch up.

When the battle ended, only a few monster hunters were injured and took some pills to get better.

The evil cultivators were all injured, some were missing arms and legs, and were locked together with iron chains.

These iron chains were used to tie demon beasts and were extremely sturdy. These evil cultivators were also all injured and basically couldn't run away.

Yu Chengyi's expression was greatly pleased, "I was just worried about not catching these bastards, but they ran back themselves to die."

Mo Hua asked: "Uncle Yu, how should we handle these evil cultivators?"

Yu Chengyi thought for a moment and said: "We'll beat them first, interrogate them, and see if we can ask anything. Then we'll send them to the Dao Court Division and claim some rewards."

These evil cultivators killed and robbed, and they all looked like habitual offenders. According to Dao law, it was also a death sentence.

The monster hunters would get rewards, and the Dao Court Division would get merits. It was a win-win situation, and they didn't need to dirty their own hands.

Mo Hua nodded, then pointed his small hand at Diao Laosan, "Give me that short one, I'll ask him some things."

Yu Chengyi was slightly startled, then grabbed Diao Laosan with his big hand, looked carefully, and then said in surprise:

"So it was you!"

He also recognized that this evil cultivator was exactly the thin black-clothed cultivator who was good at hidden techniques that the Qian family employed when they attacked the spirit mine.

At that time, they had suffered quite a bit.

Yu Chengyi squeezed Diao Laosan's hand, twisted and broke his arm, making him powerless to resist, then threw him in front of Mo Hua:

"You can ask him whatever you want."

Mo Hua looked at Diao Laosan with bright eyes, suddenly smiled, showing a kind and amiable smile:

"Hand over the hidden technique formula to me!"

These days there are two updates.

Ten thousand words a month is too tiring. I'll rest for a few days and sort out the detailed outline.

Afterwards, I will gradually add updates.
