Chapter 161: Quick and Accurate (Fourth Update)
Chapter 161: Quick and Accurate (Fourth Update)
The surroundings fell quiet for a moment.
"I know magic," Mo Hua emphasized.
Elder Yu gathered his thoughts and began with praise, "That's impressive. Continue to cultivate your spiritual powers and diligently study magic, and you'll surely have a bright future ahead of you."
These words, he spoke with a tinge of guilt.
After the compliment, Elder Yu proceeded to advise, "However, your current realm is still low, and your spiritual energy is not strong. Even with your knowledge of magic, it's not advisable to engage in battles, especially chaotic situations like this."
Elder Yu feared that Mo Hua's youthful impulsiveness might lead him to rush out and fight the Qian Family cultivators.
In such chaotic battles, spiritual cultivators were extremely vulnerable without adequate protection.
Yu Chenyi nodded hurriedly, sharing Elder Yu's concern for Mo Hua's safety.
Mo Shan, however, gazed at Mo Hua thoughtfully.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment before speaking, "I think I can help too."
Elder Yu furrowed his brows slightly, "How can you help?"
"I may not be of much use in the chaos, but I can assist in dealing with the spiritual cultivators," Mo Hua explained. "Although I'm only at the sixth layer of Qi Refinement and my magical attacks may not be powerful enough to take them down, interrupting their spells shouldn't be a problem."
"What if they use magic to attack you from afar?" Yu Chenyi asked.
Mo Hua chuckled, "They won't be able to hit me."
Yu Chenyi was taken aback, "Why not?"
"Their spiritual sense is not as strong as mine. I can position myself outside the range of their spiritual sense, making it impossible for their magic to reach me," Mo Hua replied.
Understanding dawned on Yu Chenyi, and he exchanged a glance with Elder Yu.
Elder Yu made the decision, "Alright, we'll give it a try tomorrow. But you must stay inside the mine at all costs, do not step out."
"Okay," Mo Hua nodded.
The next day, the two sides clashed again.
The Qian Family employed the same strategy, using close-combat cultivators to restrain while their spiritual cultivators launched magical attacks, gradually wearing down the demon hunters.
The demon hunters, having received Elder Yu's secret instructions, refrained from aggressive charges. Instead, they focused on evading the spells while trying to avoid injuries.
At the same time, some agile demon hunters harassed from the flanks, feigning attempts to outflank the Qian Family's spiritual cultivators to tie down their close-combat cultivators, forcing them to spread out.
With this tug-of-war, the Qian Family's spiritual cultivators naturally fell within Mo Hua's line of sight.
Mo Hua cast his spell, not needing to look, as he locked on with his spiritual sense.
The purpose of pulling the Qian Family's close-combat cultivators away was to prevent them from blocking the Fireball Spell.
Elder Yu stood behind Mo Hua.
While he wouldn't interfere in the battle, that didn't stop him from protecting Mo Hua.
Should any danger befall Mo Hua, Elder Yu wouldn't hesitate to act.
As for Dao Ting Si's face, it was already slapped, and he didn't care much about explaining himself to the Chief Judge. He could always apologize profusely later; he had thick skin anyway.
A young boy who had already reached the threshold of a first-grade array master, and from their group of loose cultivators no less—Elder Yu knew full well which was more important.
Elder Yu silently gauged the distance to the Qian Family's spiritual cultivators and whispered to Mo Hua, "That's quite a distance. Are you sure you can hit them?"
Elder Yu was aware of Mo Hua's strong spiritual sense, a result of being able to draw a first-grade array.
However, a strong spiritual sense didn't necessarily translate to accurate spellcasting, and hitting a target from such a distance was no easy feat.
Mo Hua wasn't entirely sure either, "I think so."
It was worth a try, at least.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, a Qian Family spiritual cultivator began to incant.
Elder Yu's eyes narrowed as he realized the start of their plan.
Then he saw Mo Hua raise his hand, join his fingers, and a fireball flew forth.
Elder Yu was taken aback, "So fast?"
Before he could even pay attention to Mo Hua's movements, a fireball had already been cast and was flying towards the enemy.
The fireball arced through the air and struck a Qian Family spiritual cultivator.
The cultivator, who was in the middle of channeling his qi and incanting, was caught off guard and his spell was interrupted by the fireball.
"We hit them!" Elder Yu rejoiced inwardly, but when he turned to look at Mo Hua, he saw a frown on the boy's face as he muttered, "I missed..."
"But you did hit him, didn't you?"
Elder Yu was left speechless, not knowing how to respond.
Hitting a target from such a distance was already impressive; what more could he ask for?
"Well..."
To avoid appearing ignorant, Elder Yu suppressed his shock and casually remarked, "That's not bad. Hitting the target is enough; don't be too hard on yourself. Just aim a little better next time."
"Okay!"
Mo Hua joined his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, he cast another Fireball Spell.
This time, Elder Yu watched intently.
It was indeed too fast!
Elder Yu was amazed, "I wonder who taught this child magic. It's clearly an ordinary Fireball Spell, but it looks so formidable..."
The second fireball hit a Qian Family spiritual cultivator in the shoulder.
Mo Hua sighed regretfully and then adjusted his posture, calming his mind and focusing his spiritual sense to continue casting the Fireball Spell.
Fortunately, the third and fourth fireballs were on target.
One of them hit a spiritual cultivator right in the heart, and he immediately fell to the ground, unconscious but not dead.
The other fireball exploded on a cultivator's face, leaving it swollen and his hair singed.
Elder Yu watched from the sidelines, his eyelids twitching but remaining silent.
Was this really just the Fireball Spell?
Could it be so accurate?
It was unbelievable!
In the chaos of the group battle, one Fireball Spell might go unnoticed, but two or three became obvious.
Especially when one cultivator was knocked unconscious, and another had his face swollen.
Even a fool would know something was amiss!
"Magic?!
"They have spiritual cultivators too!"
The Qian Family cultivators turned their attention to Mo Hua, but he hid himself in the dense bushes, his small body barely visible.
Several spiritual senses swept toward Mo Hua's location but found nothing.
The spiritual cultivators of the Qian Family, at the ninth layer of Qi Refinement, couldn't reach Mo Hua with their spiritual senses.
Unwilling to give up, they cast their spells in Mo Hua's direction.
Fireballs, water arrows, wind blades, and golden lights flew toward him.
However, these spells lost their spiritual control before reaching their target and gradually dissipated, unable to hit Mo Hua.
Mo Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the Qian Family's spiritual cultivators couldn't hit him, and their close-combat cultivators couldn't rush over, he could act without restraint.
Mo Hua poked his small head out and repeatedly cast Fireball Spells.
The fireballs flew over the bushes and rocks, hitting the Qian Family's spiritual cultivators.
Although the Fireball Spell wasn't very powerful at the sixth layer of Qi Refinement, it was still uncomfortable to be hit by it, especially when it struck a vital point.
Spiritual cultivators were not adept at physical cultivation, so even if they weren't seriously injured, they would still be affected. Some had their faces burned, and their hair singed.
Under the suppression of Mo Hua's Fireball Spell, they couldn't cast their own spells.
With the Qian Family's spiritual cultivators unable to cast their spells, the demon hunters were no longer restrained.
Yu Chenyi's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Attack!"
The demon hunters responded enthusiastically, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
Spiritual power overflowed, and their blood boiled as they swung their blades, sending out dazzling lights toward the Qian Family cultivators.
The Qian Family cultivators were stunned.
Originally, they had a clear division of labor, with spiritual cultivators on the offensive and close-combat cultivators on the defensive, working together to suppress and wear down their opponents.
Now, with their spiritual cultivators unable to attack and their close-combat cultivators lacking the support of spells, they couldn't hold their ground.
Under the fierce offensive of the demon hunters, the Qian Family was once again forced to retreat.
Qian Zhongxuan's face turned ashen at the sight.
"Where did this magic come from?"
He released his spiritual sense toward Mo Hua's location, but Elder Yu suddenly appeared and blocked his attempt.
Qian Zhongxuan opened his eyes wide, meeting Elder Yu's mocking gaze.
As Elder Yu was about to scold him, Qian Zhongxuan quickly made a decision and ordered, "Retreat!"
