Chapter 302: Chapter 160: Myriad Flowers Concealing Snow
“Elder Qinghong, Elder Qinghan… is it you?”
Recognizing the identity of the four elders, Mo Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, “The Fu Family has always been neutral. When did they also want to get involved in the affairs of the Mo Blade Sect?”
The Fu Family solidifies its status through marital alliances, generally not involving themselves in grudges or feuds, thus considered neutral.
“Our Fu Family is neutral, but… for someone who doesn’t even spare their own disciples, I cannot remain neutral in this matter. Today’s affair is my own, and has nothing to do with the Fu Family!” Elder Fu Qinghong waved her hand.
“This is also my personal action, unrelated to the Fu Family!” Elder Fu Qinghan nodded her head as well.
The remaining two elders stepped forward at the same time, expressing similar sentiments.
They were entrusted by Young Master Fu Yingying to assist Zhang Xuan; unexpectedly, they would be opposing the Mo Blade Sect. However, even if they were in opposition, it was no hindrance as long as they disconnected from the Fu Family.
“Personal action? Very well, very well!”
Mo Bai Ye flashed a look and turned his head towards Zhang Xuan, “Is this what you’re relying on?”
“To deal with you, it’s more than enough!” Zhang Xuan smiled.
“Hahaha!”
With a loud laugh, Mo Bai Ye said, “It seems you know nothing of my strength! Elder Qinghong, Elder Qinghan, they possess the same cultivation as me at the moment, Galaxy 5-dan, but they have practiced Fox Charm Destiny, which inherently lacks strong combat power. Surely you don’t actually think that just because our cultivations are the same, you could fight me?”
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Actually, what the other party said was not wrong.
Fox Charm Destiny was powerful in its Charming Power, but in terms of pure combat, the power was ordinary. Coupled with the fact that their cultivation was lower than their opponent’s, and Mo Dao Destiny was a combat-oriented destiny, even with greater numbers on their side, victory would not be so easily achieved.
Putting these thoughts aside, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Elder Fu Qinghong and the others, bowing with fists clasped, “Elders, we are relying on you now…”
“Don’t worry!”
“Initially, seeing it was Master Mo, we did not want to interfere, but he has been so ungratefully treacherous that we cannot stand idly by!”
The elders nodded their heads all at once, taking a step forward.
“We might need to trouble the elders even further, to follow my command shortly, I intend to capture him alive and force out the location of the disciples…”
Zhang Xuan continued.
“Capture me alive? Hahahahaha, are you dreaming?”
Zhang Xuan’s words were not whispered, but declared openly, causing the brows of the elders to furrow deeply. Mo Bai Ye laughed uproariously as if he were looking at a fool.
With his strength, it was nearly impossible for these people to win against him even exhausting their full might, let alone capture him alive…
And to state such things outright, his caution would dissolve completely during combat. How would they fight then?
“Young Master Zhang, be careful with your words!” Elder Fu Qinghong gestured.
Still young and inexperienced, revealing one’s hand before a fight was a grave taboo.
“It’s fine. Of course, if the elders find capturing him too easy, feel free to discipline him a bit more, to let him know his mistake,” Zhang Xuan apparently thought he had not said enough.
“You… are looking for death!”
Mo Bai Ye narrowed his eyes.
“Cough cough…” Fu Qinghong’s face flushed red.
They knew their own strengths very well; to say capturing him was easy… it was still uncertain whether they could even win if they fought with all their might!
“Alright, let’s talk about victory first!”
Afraid that the other side might continue and say more astounding words, Elder Fu Qinghong waved her hand, her gaze decisively fixed forward, commanding everyone, “Later on, follow my commands to set up the Fu Family Collaborative Offensive Formation!”
“Yes!”
Fu Qinghan and the others nodded at the same time.
The combat power of the Fu Family alone might not seem too strong, but when combined, they were formidable.
Whoosh!
As the conversation ended, Elder Fu Qinghong stepped forward, flicking her wrist, and a whip appeared in her palm, lashing out towards Mo Bai Ye.
“This…”
Seeing that her weapon was this, Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow.
As expected of Fox Charm Destiny, quite the flamboyant touch!
“Overestimating yourselves!”
Seeing they dared to take the initiative to attack, Mo Bai Ye let out a cold shout, his long saber swinging into motion. In the blink of an eye, the air around was filled with the Blade Wind; nearby trees and rocks would crumble into powder the moment they touched it.
Faced with such a powerful Blade Wind, despite having the advantage in numbers, Elder Fu Qinghong and the others couldn’t gain any advantage and were instead forced to retreat continuously, unable to advance.
“Set up the formation…” Elder Fu Qinghong called out softly.
Hearing this, the other three elders immediately moved to their specified positions, their moving silhouettes resembling bewitching dancers.
If they had been seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls dancing in such a manner, it surely would have dazzled onlookers, but these elders were all over fifty, and their flirtatious postures immediately drew Zhang Xuan’s discomfort.
It wasn’t just him; even Mo Bai Ye too had a green complexion.
Disgusting!
“Get out of my way!”
An explosive shout boomed as the long saber transformed into a cold gleam, striking towards the leading Elder Fu Qinghong.
Unexpectedly, this man was so ruthless. Elder Fu Qinghong’s face changed, and she quickly retreated.
Before they could retreat, they heard Zhang Xuan’s voice transmission by their ears, “Don’t retreat, meet it head-on…”
“Meet it?”
Fu Qinghong looked at the sharp glint of the saber before her and her eyebrows twitched.
What kind of joke was this? It was the opponent’s full-powered strike; if she met it head-on, her head would be cleaved into two…
Not bothering with the opponent, she sprinted backwards, but after just two steps, she saw Mo Baiye aiming the fierce and unparalleled glint of his saber at her head. Suddenly, he turned and brought it down towards Fu Qinghan beside her.
Because she dodged, Fu Qinghan was left without protection and was stabbed in the arm, leaving a cut from which blood immediately began to flow.
“Ah!”
Fu Qinghan’s face turned pale, and he involuntarily took two steps back. The formation that had just formed was immediately disrupted, losing all its power.
Fu Qinghong’s pupils constricted.
The vicious move from the opponent just now was nothing but a trap!
If she had listened to Zhang Xuan just now and didn’t retreat but met the attack, Mo Baiye’s move would have been thrown off, and Elder Qinghan wouldn’t have been hurt. In fact, they might even have had the opportunity to gain the upper hand…
Could it be… that this guy really didn’t want her to die, wasn’t just spouting nonsense, and could actually direct her to victory?
“It must have been a fluke!”
Shaking her head, she cast aside this unrealistic thought.
She, a Galaxy 5-dan powerhouse, hadn’t spotted the trap in the opponent’s move; how could he, a mere Galaxy 2-dan who had just broken through, possibly understand it!
“Hahahaha, with this level of strength, you want to kill me, you want to capture me alive?”
Mo Baiye let out a cold laugh.
Originally thinking that defeating these four in a joint attack would take some time given his sudden decline in cultivation, now it seemed he had overestimated them…
They were just a ragtag bunch, easily destroyed with a flick of the wrist.
Fu Qinghong clenched her fists.
Young Master Zhang, only at the Galaxy 2-dan Peak, had fought with him for three moves, not only unscathed but also managing to rescue Mo Hong… Yet, they were stronger and still lost…
“Elder Qinghong, please listen to me…”
Spotting their problem, Zhang Xuan couldn’t hold back and spoke again.
“No need!”
She could have ignored it, but upon hearing that, Fu Qinghong’s face grew even uglier. She cut him off, turning again to the others: “Form the Myriad Flower Formation!”
“Yes!”
Fu Qinghan and the others immediately set up the formation differently, this time holding petals instead of whips.
No one knew where they came from, but each looked as sharp as a throwing weapon.
Whoosh!
As the formation took shape, dozens of petals flew towards Mo Baiye, now trapped at the center.
“Hmph!”
Mo Baiye remained unflustered, swinging his Mo Dao wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a huge barrier formed around his body, blocking all the incoming petals.
“Myriad Flowers Concealing Snow, the seventh variation of Myriad Flower Formation!”
Fu Qinghong shouted again.
Fu Qinghan and the others stepped forward simultaneously, their petals being released in unison, falling like snowflakes.
“Quick, pull back…”
Zhang Xuan’s face darkened.
“Pull back?”
Frowning, Fu Qinghong was full of displeasure.
Myriad Flowers Concealing Snow was one of the strongest collaborative techniques of the Fu Family. Once activated, it left the opponent completely defenseless and unable to dodge. At this point, a close attack could easily pierce through the defense and secure victory.
If they retreated now, wouldn’t they be squandering a great advantage?
Thinking this, her actions naturally didn’t stop. Fearing that Fu Qinghan and the others might follow Zhang Xuan’s command, her face darkened, and she also shouted, “Keep moving forward…”
Before her words ended, a loud laugh rang out.
“Hahaha, you’ve been fooled!”
At that moment, Mo Baiye, who had been on the defensive, suddenly opened up his attack, and his Mo Dao tore through the air with ferocity.
Plunk! Plunk! Plunk! Plunk!
Four continuous sounds, and the four elders were injured at the same time.
“You…”
Looking at the cuts on their chest, arms, legs, and other places caused by the Mo Dao, all four elders turned pale.
Although the injuries were not too serious, it demonstrated that even their joint effort could not secure victory.
Truly a sect leader, too terrifying!
“No, wait… If we had listened to Zhang Xuan just now and pulled back directly, maybe it wouldn’t have come to this!”
Suddenly, the muttering voice of Fu Qinghan sounded.
Twice she had been slashed by the opposing Mo Dao, feeling the pain most acutely.
