Chapter 255: Trapped
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Bald Tuo’s figure was like the wind, fleeing into the distance. Lu Hui and Zhang Lan also chased after him.
Mo Hua stayed behind.
Inside the valley, the battle gradually drew to a close. Sin Cultivators were either dead or subdued, with minimal casualties on the side of the Taoist Court Officials.
After a while, Mo Shan and Ji Qingbai also appeared at the entrance of the valley. They wanted to pursue Bald Tuo, but Mo Hua stopped them.
“Dad, let me go with you, Uncle Ji doesn’t need to go.”
Ji Qingbai quickly said, “How can that work?”
Mo Shan looked at Mo Hua, understanding something, and said, “Brother Ji, you don’t need to go.”
“This matter started because of me…”
Mo Shan shook his head, “The Kong Family bullied others with their power. This matter started because of the Kong Family, not because of you. The fault lies with them.”
Ji Qingbai frowned. “But…”
Mo Hua smiled mysteriously and said, “Uncle Ji, don’t worry.”
Ji Qingbai wanted to insist further, but Mo Shan and Mo Hua had already used their movement techniques and chased after Bald Tuo.
Ji Qingbai stayed where he was, pondering over Mo Hua’s smile, wondering for a moment, “What exactly does Mo Hua plan to do?”
Mo Hua and Mo Shan displayed their movement techniques and chased after him, occasionally stopping to check the Compass Disk to confirm the general direction.
Zhang Lan and Lu Hui had been chasing Bald Tuo, who had to exert his full strength to use his escape technique, inevitably causing fluctuations of spiritual power to appear on the Compass Disk with a clear trace.
Before long, divine traces of Bald Tuo’s spiritual power appeared in Mo Hua’s Divine Sense.
As a cultivator with Wind-System Spiritual Root, his spiritual power was a faint white color, very easy to identify.
Bald Tuo, alone and cautiously hiding in a forest, was not seen by Zhang Lan and Lu Hui.
He was probably temporarily evaded by Bald Tuo thanks to his movement technique.
“Dad, over there.”
Mo Hua pointed out Bald Tuo’s location.
Mo Shan’s Divine Sense was not as strong as Mo Hua’s, but his eyesight was excellent. Heeding Mo Hua’s words, just a glance was enough to spot Bald Tuo crouching in the bushes.
With a flash of his figure, he went straight for Bald Tuo.
At the same time, Bald Tuo also spotted Mo Shan’s figure. Cursing, he had no choice but to stimulate his spiritual power and once again use his movement technique to flee into the distance.
Bald Tuo cursed inwardly.
He had already deceived Zhang Lan and Lu Hui. He intended to rest for a while, recovering some spiritual power, but unfortunately, he was discovered again.
However, Bald Tuo was very confident in his movement technique. For many years, he had been thriving, all thanks to his Wind Escape Technique.
As a Sin Cultivator, no matter how strong his cultivation, nothing was better than being fast enough to run.
As long as one could run fast enough, they wouldn’t be caught by enemies, nor would they be apprehended by the Taoist Court Officials.
Over the years, Sin Cultivators stronger and more proficient in Taoist Skills than he had died or been crippled, one after another.
Only he survived by clinging to life with his movement technique, ultimately becoming the big boss!
Over these years, he had often been chased and hunted. This current situation was nothing more than routine for him.
However, gradually, he sensed something wrong.
His movement technique was definitely faster than that Monster Hunter chasing behind him. Yet, no matter how he ran, as soon as he stopped to rest, that Monster Hunter would catch up quickly.
It was as if an eye was constantly and closely watching him.
“What’s going on?” A chill ran down Bald Tuo’s spine.
He carefully examined himself and realized that there seemed to be a faint trace of Divine Sense, clinging to him like a bone-piercing maggot.
He would have hardly noticed it if he hadn’t been fully concentrating.
The more concealed the Divine Sense, the more powerful it was!
Bald Tuo broke out in cold sweat on his back, “Whose Divine Sense is this?”
Could it be that a Foundation Building Cultivator was watching me?
Bald Tuo panicked. He slipped up in his step, Mo Shan noticed the lapse, and closed in with a flash. A Raging Fire Blade struck directly down.
The blade light was like flames, with surging red spiritual power.
Bald Tuo watched in dismay, exerting his movement technique to the limit in an attempt to dodge the blade, but he was still a fraction too slow and his arm got sliced, sending an instant wave of searing pain as blood flowed out.
Bald Tuo had no choice but to stop and figure out how to deal with Mo Shan.
Mo Shan didn’t bother with small talk, and without a word, he charged forward with his blade.
Bald Tuo wanted to say a few words to buy some time, but seeing that Mo Shan didn’t give him the chance, he could only curse silently and steel himself to face Mo Shan.
As their swords clashed, a tumultuous surge of wind and fire spiritual power burst forth, and their strength overflowed in all directions.
After just a few exchanges, Bald Tuo realized he was no match for Mo Shan and that defeat was inevitable.
If defeat was inevitable, then it was better to plan ahead.
Bald Tuo fought Mo Shan for a few more rounds, then suddenly retreated backward, lifting his right hand to reveal several runes.
Mo Shan was taken aback and stopped his advance.
At the same time, Bald Tuo activated the runes.
Dust filled the air as the pulse of earth series spiritual power emanated from the ground, rolling in waves towards Mo Shan.
Mo Shan could only fall back.
Bald Tuo’s gaze hardened, and he turned to run.
These runes were named Terraquake Runes, which he had found after killing a family of three cultivators and rummaging through their storage bags.
At this moment, he activated these runes to repel Mo Shan so he could make his escape.
As long as he activated his movement technique once more to create distance, it wouldn’t be so easy for Mo Shan to catch up.
Of all the movement techniques, the Wind Escape Technique was the fastest!
In Big Black Mountain, he had killed and robbed countless people, and so far, no one had managed to hold on to him.
A faint smile appeared on Bald Tuo’s lips as he wrapped himself in Wind-System Spiritual Power, turning to leave, and casting a disdainful glance at Mo Shan before he did.
But as soon as he took a step, he sensed something was wrong.
It was like he was locked in place by something and suddenly couldn’t move!
Bald Tuo looked down, and his pupils constricted.
Out of nowhere, chains of condensed water vapor had appeared around him, binding him firmly to the spot!
“Not good!”
Bald Tuo panicked internally and hurriedly looked up, only to see Mo Shan’s blade approaching like a blazing fire.
Struggling with all his might, Bald Tuo finally broke free from the spell’s restraints just before Mo Shan’s blade hit him.
He quickly raised his sword to block Mo Shan’s attack.
He had escaped from the spell and blocked the sword attack, but his chance to flee had also vanished.
Bald Tuo was filled with rage as he fought Mo Shan, bellowing, “Who the hell is ambushing me?”
Bald Tuo’s angry voice echoed all around.
Of course, Mo Hua hiding in the forest naturally didn’t answer him. Since it was an ambush, he couldn’t show himself.
If he showed himself, how could it still be called an ambush?
Mo Hua sat leisurely on a large tree branch, holding a recently picked wild fruit in his left hand while raising his right hand in an empty grasp, his Divine Sense continually locked on Bald Tuo.
A look of playful interest, like that of a cat toying with a mouse, crept onto Mo Hua’s face.
He was right; the Water Prison Technique indeed countered cultivators skilled in movement techniques and was even more effective than he had anticipated.
Whenever Bald Tuo attempted to flee, he would cast the Water Prison Technique, holding him in place.
The Water Prison Technique could restrain him for about two breaths’ time, and in those two breaths, Bald Tuo had no chance of escaping from the experienced Mo Shan.
Bald Tuo tried several times but couldn’t break free.
Every time there was a slight chance, this peculiar spell would bind him.
It was quick and accurate, and impossible to guard against.
The more Bald Tuo fought, the more frightened and dismayed he became.
The movement technique that had allowed him to roam unhindered through Big Black Mountain was completely countered by this mysterious and unknown spell!
If things continued like this, he would meet his end here today.
