The Quest for Immortality

The Taoist Field was teeming with Demon Monsters, and to get through, they needed to significantly reduce the number of encircling Demon Monsters.

Mo Hua took out several Little Tigers, and on each Little Tiger, he applied a dab of human blood—the blood of the men in black—and also fixed a Formation Flag with a Fireworks Formation pattern on it.

A Formation of such killing power was not easy to set up and consumed a lot of time.

Since the goal was to attract the enemies, the Fireworks Formation would work just as well.

The most suitable Formation is the strongest Formation, regardless of its size.

Mo Hua activated the Fireworks Formation, and at the same time, he directed the Little Tigers to run in all directions.

A few Little Tigers, with glinting flags attached, dashed off in different directions.

The Formation Flags kept erupting with dazzling and brilliant fireworks, in the gloomy fishing village, they looked incredibly resplendent, yet also exceedingly glaring.

All the Demon Monsters were stunned.

The splendid fireworks lit up their ugly faces.

This scene looked very out of place.

But the Blood Qi from the human blood on the Formation Flags and the fluctuations of the Spiritual Power of the Formation still drew them in, triggering their instinctual pursuit.

Many Demon Monsters chased after the Little Tigers, and the Taoist Field instantly became a chaotic mess.

With a forward point of his hand, Mo Hua commanded, ”Charge!”

Thus, Gu An and Gu Quan spearheaded their way, with Yu Dahe carrying his two sons, other Gu Family Cultivators provided cover, and two men in black, tied with ropes, dragged at the rear, drawing the attention of pursuing Demon Monsters.

The group sprinted with all their might towards the opposite side.

Soon, Demon Monsters took notice of Mo Hua and the others, and with fierce roars, some on all fours and others on two feet, charged towards Mo Hua and his companions.

The group turned grim, knowing that a fight to the death was imminent.

Gu An called out in a deep voice, ”Don’t fall behind!” And then he immediately joined forces with his brother Gu Quan.

One held a blade in his left hand and the other in his right, their blade movements complementing each other, merging into a single torrential force, chopping down the approaching Demon Monsters one by one.

Gu An and Gu Quan, the brothers, had the same Spiritual Roots and practiced Cultivation Techniques that were passed down in the same lineage.

Their blade skill was an ancestral Gu Family Taoist Skill known as the Twin Rings Blade Skill.

When used by a single person, the skill was of average power, but if cultivated in tandem by the brothers, its power was amplified, comparable to Superior Taoist Magic.

Moreover, because it was a dual strike, it also consumed much less Spiritual Power.

With the Chain Blade Skill paving the way, Gu An and his brother were momentarily unstoppable.

Others on the sides provided cover, fending off Demon Monsters that pounced to attack.

Yu Dahe, following Mo Hua’s instructions, focused purely on carrying his two children and running at full speed, even if Demon Monsters lunged at him, slashing his arms, his gaze remained fixed ahead, resolute with not a hint of retreat.

At the rear of the team were the two dragged men in black.

Demon Monsters had already climbed onto them, furiously trying to suck their faces, but they too had Divine Tao Arrays tied to their foreheads by Mo Hua.

The Demon Monsters couldn’t suck anything.

And these Demon Monsters, who arrogantly tried to consume Divine Sense, became the live targets for Mo Hua’s Spells.

With a Fireball, Mo Hua blasted one away.

As for the two men in black, being furiously sucked on by the hideous Demon Monsters, they had long since fainted from fear.

In this manner, the group charged forward through the vast Taoist Field amidst a dense crowd of Demon Monsters, like splitting waves.

Blades shimmered in the sky, and Spells flew wildly.

Occasionally, Taoist Court standard-issue Runes burst forth one after another.

Because they had been sprinting at high speed, Mo Hua had no time to set up Formations and could only offer quick-spell support.

Golden Blade Technique, Water Prison Technique, Fireball Technique, Quicksand Skill, Wooden Binding Skill...

A variety of Five Elements Spells circulated without end.

Attack, trap, defend—limiting a group of Demon Monsters.

Some Demon Monsters got close, attempting to feed on Divine Sense.

But since everyone’s foreheads were sealed with Arrays by Mo Hua, the Demon Monsters’ most troublesome technique was not a worry.

In this way, the group continued to charge forward relentlessly.

Gu An and Gu Quan’s hands grew weary from the killing.

Mo Hua frequently cast low-end spells, his spiritual power nearly depleted.

The others were also clenching their teeth and persevering.

After an unknown period, the view suddenly cleared, and everyone saw the end of the Taoist Field, as well as the River God Temple with its flying eaves and golden roofs not far away.

The pursuing demon monsters were also slowing down.

It seemed that they were nearing the edge of the Blood Refinement Formation, so the activities of the demon monsters were gradually limited.

Everyone’s spirits were greatly lifted.

The River God Temple was right in front of them; they were about to break out.

But as the prolonged battle wore on, it was all too easy to relax as they neared the end.

A few cultivators from the Gu Family slightly let down their guard, and with that slight relaxation, their tense mindset instantly lost balance, and all fatigue came rolling back.

Deprived of blood qi, obstructed spiritual power, two of the Gu Family cultivators couldn’t muster their strength and collapsed to the ground.

Mo Hua’s heart sank.

Seeing several demon monsters catching up from behind, Mo Hua immediately shouted, ”Little Brother An, Little Brother Quan!”

Gu An and Gu Quan immediately stopped from ahead, turned back with a leap, and carried the two Gu Family cultivators on their backs.

Mo Hua said decisively, ”You guys go first!”

Gu An and Gu Quan were worried about Mo Hua; they hesitated for a moment but subconsciously complied with Mo Hua’s command, carrying their comrades and running forward with all their might.

Mo Hua stayed behind, waving his hand, instantly crushing several ink bottles, and the Spiritual Ink splattered around.

Then, his pupils turned pitch black.

In desperate times, he fully activated the Heavenly Secret Tricky Calculation, pushing the analysis to the limit, Divine Sense flowing to the extreme.

Not enough!

It must be faster!

The wily images in Mo Hua’s eyes suddenly trembled, turning into two reflections, and then the load on his Divine Sense rapidly intensified, nearing its limit.

But with demon monsters rushing to attack, the Divine Sense was still not fast enough...

”Faster...”

Mo Hua ground his teeth, doing his utmost to conjure the Formation.

Just then, a golden light flashed in the depths of Mo Hua’s eyes.

The Divine Marrow merged into the Divine Sense, solidifying the Sea of Consciousness, taking on the load of the Tricky Calculation.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense shook violently, twisted, and beyond its limit, directly materialized into three wily reflections.

One main Thought, three wily reflections, four parts of Divine Sense controlling the Spiritual Ink.

The Spiritual Ink, under the control of the Divine Sense, split into four strands, moving ahead in parallel, at an unprecedented speed, instantly condensing into a Second Grade Sixteen Patterns Di Sha Formation!

At this moment, several demon monsters arrived in front of Mo Hua.

Their ugly fish faces, ferocious sharp teeth, and cold pupils... were clearly visible.

They opened their large mouths at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua, expressionless, said softly:

”Explode!”

Guided by the Divine Sense, the Di Sha Formation exploded in an instant.

The ground shook, spiritual power surged, and the fish demons were instantaneously engulfed, shredded, and ground to dust.

With the Di Sha Formation, after killing these demon monsters, the wily images in Mo Hua’s eyes receded; he turned and walked away, but after only a few steps, his spiritual power suddenly stalled, and his Water Passing Step halted.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense also began to torment with intense pain.

It was as if in that moment, the triple division and creation of the Formation had exhausted his Divine Sense.

Mo Hua’s legs gave out, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Just then, Gu Quan, who had returned after saving others, caught Mo Hua in one move.

And then Gu An also returned to the fight, with a flash of sharp blade light, he repelled several other demon monsters.

The two protected Mo Hua, fighting and retreating, finally leaving the range of the Blood Refinement Formation and the chaotically dancing Taoist Field as well.

The pursuing demon monsters hovered on the edge of the Taoist Field, bowing their heads and hissing at Mo Hua and the others, but they dared not cross the boundary.
