Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 897 618: Eagle Catches Bird_4

But it was he himself being ”played” by them.

Hidden Elder Secondʼs face darkened with rising anger inside.

What audacity!

Did they really think he was a soft persimmon, to be manipulated at their whim?!

Hidden Elder Secondʼs face twitched with a murderous intent.

Yet, he restrained himself.

At such a time, he could not afford any complications.

These sect disciples had significant identities; killing them would invite trouble.

And if by mischance he got caught and handed over to the Taoist Court, the trouble would be even greater...

Moreover, there was a ”hidden hand” lurking in the shadows, watching him like a tiger stalking its prey.

Hidden Elder Second suppressed his anger and continued to flee through Canglang Mountain.

But he soon realized, no matter how he fled, he seemed unable to escape the pursuit of these sect disciples.

After a long half day that involved wriggling through bushes, wading through streams, getting stuck in swamps, and even brushing past demon dung, Hidden Elder Second could no longer bear it.

A fierce murderous intent surged in his heart.

”Fine! You bunch of little brats!”

”Think I wouldnʼt dare kill you?!”

Just a few cultivators in the middle phase of Foundation Establishment, still in their sect training, barely tasting a few drops of blood, yet so full of themselves, daring to surround and attack him...

Hidden Elder Secondʼs eyes gleamed red.

”Iʼll let you die a swift death...”

”As for those two female disciples, kill them first for entertainment when bored in the mountains...”

Stealthily approaching, one knife per person.

Numbers wouldnʼt help.

It wasnʼt as if he hadnʼt killed before...

Seeing the group approaching again, Hidden Elder Second let out an evil laugh, then pushed the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill to its limit, completely concealing his form, even making his spiritual power barely visible.

For a moment, even Mo Hua, who had been closely monitoring Hidden Elder Second, could ”see” no trace of him.

Hidden Elder Second... totally vanished...

A chill ran through Mo Huaʼs heart.

Was this... the Minor Five Elements Stealth Skill?

Could it really eradicate the existence of oneʼs own spiritual power?

Mo Hua pushed his Divine Sense to its extreme, his pupils deepening.

He could see faint shadows, but this perception was intermittent and elusive.

The form disappeared, the spiritual power faint, indistinct...

Suddenly, Mo Hua sensed a chilling murderous intent.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted:

”Senior Sister Murong, behind you!”

Murong Caiyun, who was carefully searching for Hidden Elder Second in the forest, turned pale and tensed, crushing a rune she had held in her hand all along in the nick of time.

The Golden Bell Rune!

A faint golden light formed a protective bell around her.

At the same time, a sharp dagger, laced with Water Poison, abruptly appeared, slicing towards Murong Caiyunʼs neck.

But it struck the radiantly golden bell.

The golden light faded layer by layer, the dagger inching forward.

The Golden Bell Shield struggled to hold but ultimately bought a couple of moments, allowing Murong Caiyun to use her movement technique to retreat swiftly.

Ouyang Fengʼs figure flashed, shielding in front of Murong Caiyun, then thrust out with his sword towards the dagger.

Shangguan Xu also delivered a strike with his sword from behind.

Hua Qianqian scattered numerous Hundred Flowers Spirit Needles, sealing the gaps.

Hidden Elder Second cursed and twisted his body, fleeing through the sword qi, but his shoulder was struck by a Spirit Needle.

The fleeing Hidden Elder Second reactivated the Stealth Technique, completely disappearing once again.

Without sound, not even the noise of footsteps.

Ouyang Feng and the others had solemn expressions, remaining fully on guard for Hidden Elder Secondʼs surprise attacks.

But the mountain forest was deathly quiet, covered in layers of dead leaves, not a single sound.

Just then, Murong Caiyun suddenly looked towards the distance, her face losing color as she urgently shouted: ”Mo Hua!”

Under a large tree in the distance.

There was originally nothing, but suddenly a swift and venomous dagger appeared, wrapped in cold spiritual power, fiercely stabbing out.

Below the dagger, there was equally nothing before.

But as the dagger stabbed forward, a pale blue Water Shadow appeared out of thin air.

Water flowed formlessly, images overlapped heavily.

A light figure emerged from beneath the dagger, retreating backward gracefully like a river at low tide, the Water Passing Step embodying poise.

Second-Grade Water Passing Step!

Mo Hua performed the Water Passing Step and dodged the strike but also revealed his shape.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hidden Elder Second, who missed with the dagger, also revealed his face.

He looked towards Mo Hua, his expression froze, his eyes filled with disbelief...

The hidden hand in the shadows, laying an Original Magnet net in Canglang Mountain, watching him like an eagle eyeing its prey, forcing him to flee in panic...

How could it be such a young kid?!
