Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2195 Chapter 1026: Duanmu Qing_2
Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Ao Zheng truly dared not to take it lightly.
Yet, as a genius himself, Ao Zheng was a formidable body cultivator, brimming with innate confidence and pride. He merely let out a cold snort before striding toward the mountain entrance.
Ao Zheng remained silent.
His intent was to wipe out the entire squad from Taixu Gate and eliminate Mo Hua.
However, he scorned uttering such declarations prior to the fight.
All would be revealed once the deed was accomplished.
Upon destroying the Taixu Gate team and slaying Mo Hua, only then would he unleash his taunts.
This approach showcased pure power.
Boasting without results merely exposed shallowness and weakness.
The true resolution would unfold on the sword discussion platform, through actual blades and fierce clashes.
Brushing past Mo Hua without a glance, Ao Zheng pressed on toward the Inner Mountain, yet as he drew near, a crisp but icy voice suddenly rang in his ear:
"Your Longding Sect's Ao Zhan slighted me previously..."
Ao Zheng paused, swiveled his head, and fixed his eyes on Mo Hua.
Mo Hua lifted his chin a touch, exuding chill and superiority, "During this Monster Hunting event, I intend to even that score precisely."
"Our Taixu Gate isn't something you can mess with."
"All five of you have to perish!"
Upon hearing these words, fury surged within Ao Zheng, twisting his features as he shot a venomous glare at Mo Hua.
Yet, the instant their gazes locked, Mo Hua's profound and enigmatic stare sent a chill creeping through Ao Zheng's core, choking back his retorts.
Having spoken his piece, Mo Hua gave a disdainful huff and sauntered away like the notorious "Evil Bully" of Taixu Gate, trailed by Linghu Xiao and the rest.
The Longding Sect disciples were briefly overpowered by Mo Hua's aura, momentarily at a loss for any cutting remarks.
Once Mo Hua had departed, they snapped back to reality, a wave of indignation rising in their hearts.
Ao Zheng's stare turned frosty, his forehead creased, though in the end, his thoughts steadied somewhat.
bit.
Mo Hua's recent declaration lingered in his ears.
That piercing look, brimming with murderous aura and Evil Qi, etched itself firmly into his memory.
The murderous intent in those eyes felt utterly genuine.
The Evil Qi radiated with overwhelming ferocity.
Only through true bloodshed could one cultivate such a stare.
This Mo Hua was unmistakably a "ruthless" and "heartless" individual.
In that fleeting eye contact, Ao Zheng gained a direct insight. And moreover, he claimed...
To exact revenge?
Ao Zheng knit his brows in thought, gradually piecing it together.
Previously, in the sword discussion pitting Taixu Gate against Longding Sect, Mo Hua's group had been slain first by Ao Zhan before they could even hunt monsters.
the
monsters.
Taixu Gate stood no chance and suffered a total defeat.
"Is this the grudge Mo Hua seeks to avenge?"
"Does he aim to mirror Ao Zhan's actions, eliminating our five first before hunting monsters, all to reclaim honor and wreak vengeance?"
Ao Zheng gave a slow nod, then scoffed to himself inwardly:
"A trivial Taixu Gate, what gives them such boldness?"
"Perhaps they count on Linghu Xiao?"
Ao Zheng's pulse quickened abruptly.
Formations?!
The fresh memory of Taixu Gate's siege against Qian Taoist Sect lingered, where rampaging formations had razed the whole city.
his
mind.
Such devastating spectacles left even talents like Ao Zheng with a sense of dread.
Though officially, the Mount of Tao Elders dismissed the formation blasts as an "unfortunate error" with no ties to Mo Hua.
But could that possibly be the full story?
After all, Mo Hua served as the Formation Leader.
No one could fathom the horrifying Killing Formations he might wield.
Should he deploy those Killing Formations in this Monster Hunting contest...
Ao Zheng's demeanor grew solemn, his face hardening as he
commanded:
"In today's Monster Hunting contest, stay alert for formations."
"This devious and ruthless Mo Hua excels at formations, delights in plots and sneak attacks, and harbors grudges. Remain vigilant."
to
"Avoid getting caught in formations, and Linghu Xiao by himself can't pose a threat. Taixu Gate holds no terror then."
"Understood!" the fellow Longding Sect disciples affirmed.
Within the Dao Mountain's Inner Mountain.
The infamous "Evil Bully" Mo Hua led the way.
Cheng Mo and the companions followed closely.
Soon enough, with no onlookers in sight, Situ Jian could no longer hold back and murmured softly:
a
low voice:
"Junior Brother, isn't provoking the Longding Sect this way a bit reckless? Do we truly plan to slay them afterward?"
"We aren't clashing with them." Mo Hua replied.
Situ Jian blinked in surprise, while the others appeared somewhat puzzled too.
Mo Hua hushed his tone and explained:
"I'm just fooling that idiot..."
"The Longding Sect's might is overwhelming; we stand no chance against them. If victory's impossible, why confront them head-on?"
like this? Are we
"I tossed out those tough words to sow doubt in their minds. Next, we'll surge ahead swiftly."
through.
"This Monster Hunting is about swiftly slaying Monster Beasts to claim victory—who gives a damn about them?"
to kill the Monster Beasts,
Mo Hua's expression suggested it was the most obvious thing.
Linghu Xiao and his peers gazed at Mo Hua, faces clouding with mixed feelings.
Briefly, they were unsure if they should admire his cleverness or decry his slyness.
Mo Hua let out a faint sigh.
He had anticipated it—these junior brothers were still far too "inexperienced".
Even "performance" required practice.
That was precisely why he'd withheld the explanation earlier.
He worried Linghu Xiao and the group, lacking in deceptive flair, might betray the ruse.
Mo Hua murmured once more:
the Monster
"Keep in mind, after stepping into the arena, I'll point out the Monster Beasts' spots, and we all charge together to finish them off. Time is essence—speed is key!"
down. Every second counts,
Linghu Xiao and the rest nodded with grave intent.
Soon after, the sword discussion commenced.
No sooner had Mo Hua stepped into the arena than he scanned the area, unleashing his potent Divine Sense, and in a flash, he pinpointed the Monster Beasts' whereabouts.
A late-stage Second Grade Bear Demon it was.
Mo Hua gestured sharply, "Attack!"
Linghu Xiao and companions didn't hesitate, deploying their swift movement arts to bolt toward the spot Mo Hua had signaled.
In general, locating Monster Beasts ranks among the hurdles in the Monster Hunting event.
Navigating the intricate mountain and forest landscapes to track the beasts' positions via their behaviors and trails demands considerable effort.
some time.
Yet, Mo Hua's Divine Sense proved far too extraordinary.
