Chapter 172: Cutting Off the Rear

For the first time, Mo Hua had a deep understanding of the majesty of Dao Law and Dao Court.

According to the current situation, the Qian family traveled light and aggressively, while the demon hunters needed to transport spiritual ore and moved slowly. If they continued like this, they would be caught up by the Qian family before reaching Tongxian City.

Elder Yu said, "We need to find someone to cover the retreat!"

Yu Chengyi, Mo Shan and some demon hunters of the ninth level of Qi Refining stood up.

Elder Yu nodded slightly and ordered:

"When the time comes, Qian Hong and Qian Zhongxuan should tear their faces and attack. I will hold them back, and you deal with other Qian family cultivators. Fight and retreat, don't fight to the death, as long as you can delay enough time."

The few people who stayed behind nodded seriously.

In this situation, if you want to cover the retreat, you will inevitably face the death attack of the Qian family, and you are outnumbered, so the situation is very dangerous.

What's more, the Qian family has two foundation-building cultivators. If they tear up the agreement and attack, if Elder Yu is defeated, the demon hunters of the Qi Refining period left behind will be in danger.

Mo Hua said, "I'll stay here to cover the retreat too!"

Elder Yu glared at him, "Why are you here, kid? Go home!"

By then, he would have to deal with Qian Hong and Qian Zhongxuan, and would have no time to care about Mo Hua's safety.

Mo Shan also touched Mo Hua's head and said softly, "Go back, your mother is waiting for you at home."

They didn't say anything, but Mo Hua knew that staying here to cover the retreat was a good idea.

Even if he succeeded in covering the retreat, it would probably cost the lives of several demon hunters.

During the battle with the Qian family, many demon hunters were killed or injured.

Now that the spiritual mine has been dug up, and they have persisted until now, Mo Hua doesn't want anyone to have any more casualties.

Whether it's Mo Shan, Elder Yu, or other demon hunters that Mo Hua is familiar with or not, Mo Hua still hopes that everyone can go home together.

Mo Hua said to Elder Yu, "I can use the formation to cover the retreat, so you don't have to fight to the death!"

Elder Yu believes in Mo Hua's formation.

This time, they were able to defend the spiritual mine and escape successfully thanks to Mo Hua's formation, but seeing that the Qian family was approaching and time was running out, Elder Yu was still worried:

"Time is too short, there is no time to draw the formation."

"Don't worry," Mo Hua patted the bulging storage bag on his body, "I prepared it in advance!"

Elder Yu opened his mouth, "Are these all formations?"

Mo Hua nodded.

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't know when Mo Hua prepared the formation.

"Can these formations be useful?" Elder Yu asked again.

"We don't have to fight to the death, just use the formation to scare them and delay time, that's enough." Mo Hua said.

Elder Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, we will use the formation to delay time."

Then Elder Yu found Mo Shan again and whispered: "If the situation is not good, you take Mo Hua away first!"

Mo Shan wanted to say something, but Elder Yu's face was serious, "This is an order!"

Mo Shan pursed his lips and said nothing, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

Elder Yu lowered his voice and said solemnly:

"Mo Hua's safety is more important than anything else. No matter what, he must be sent back safely!"

Mo Shan was stunned, and then nodded solemnly.

Mo Hua was rummaging through the storage bag and took out the formation inside.

A thick stack of earth and fire formations, all of which were first-grade earth and fire formations with nine formation patterns.

The earth and fire formation with seven formation patterns was broken by the iron-armored earth-type cultivator of the Qian family. Mo Hua learned a more advanced first-grade earth and fire formation in case of emergency.

The Earth Fire Formation has miraculous effects, but with a small number, the effect is not great and cannot change the situation.

So Mo Hua drew it whenever he had time and secretly saved it. He has been saving it until now. Mo Hua already has a thick stack of first-grade Earth Fire Formations in his hand.

Mo Hua distributed the first-grade Earth Fire Formation. The demon hunters chose a narrow mountain pass, buried the Earth Fire Formation in a hidden corner, and camouflaged it slightly to prevent the Qian family monks from easily discovering it.

Everything was ready, and the dozen demon hunters who stayed behind hid behind the rocks, waiting for the Qian family monks to come.

Mo Hua also hid with them.

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone's face was tense and their expressions were a little solemn.

Seeing this, Mo Hua said with a little regret: "It's a pity that it's not at night."

Elder Yu was stunned for a moment, "What if it's at night?"

"At night, the earth and fire array exploded, bang, just like fireworks, it's so beautiful!"

When the earth and fire array was used, Mo Hua was very happy to watch it. He even prepared wine, meat and pine nuts, and ate while watching.

Unfortunately, all these delicious foods are finished now, and Mo Hua feels a little regretful.

Elder Yu, Mo Shan and others didn't know what to say, but after being interrupted by Mo Hua, they didn't feel nervous anymore. Instead, they had a bit of a mind to watch the show and stared at the intersection silently.

In less than a cup of tea, the footsteps gradually became louder, and the figures of the Qian family monks gradually became clear in their sight.

It was a dark mass, with nearly two thousand people.

The demon hunters held their breath and stopped talking.

When Qian Hong arrived nearby, he saw that the terrain was narrow, his expression froze, and he raised his hand to signal the Qian family monks to stop.

He scanned the area with his spiritual sense, then sneered and said:

"Yu Changlin, are you hiding like a turtle?"

Elder Yu signaled the demon hunters not to act rashly, and his figure flashed, jumped to a high place, and then sat cross-legged on a big rock, smiling:

"It's okay to be a turtle, but I'll be the big turtle and you'll be the small turtle, and you still have to call me dad."

Qian Hong's eyes turned cold, and his expression did not move.

Elder Yu praised: "If I were to say who is the most cunning and the most patient, I would only respect you. No matter how I scold you, you remain calm like a turtle..."

Before he finished speaking, Elder Yu was suddenly shocked and said in an exaggerated tone: "You are not really the child of your mother and a turtle, are you?"

Qian Zhongxuan couldn't listen to these words, but Qian Hong just frowned slightly and said:

"Yu Changlin, are you stalling for time with me?"

Elder Yu did not hide it, "I guess so."

Qian Hong said coldly: "Why? Just relying on the dozen demon hunters you hid behind the stone?"

Elder Yu said: "You Qian family are all good-for-nothings. The ten of us are enough. If there are more, we are afraid that you will be scared."

"Then why don't you do it?" Qian Hong said.

"Let's take a break. We are tired from digging the mine." Elder Yu sighed, "You said that this Big Black Mountain is really strange. How come we dug into the monster's nest while digging the mine?" Elder Yu asked Qian Hong kindly, "Have your disciples of the Qian family entered the mine? Have you encountered monsters? Oh, don't let them be eaten by monsters..." Qian Hong's face looked a little bad. Elder Yu was shocked when he saw this, "No way, you have entered the mine? No one has been eaten by monsters, right?" Then Elder Yu said with regret: "Why are you so careless? If I had known, I would not let them dig those mines, so that your Qian family would have fewer deaths... Oh, this is my fault!" Qian Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Old Yu, stop talking nonsense. What are you planning?" Elder Yu looked calm and didn't say anything. Qian Hong was a little timid and said coldly: "Are you going to do it?"

Elder Yu said: "It's agreed that if you don't do it, I won't do it either."

"Okay." Qian Hong said, and then began to let the Qian family monks move forward.

No matter what tricks Yu Changlin played, he would know after trying it.

The Qian family monks moved forward, and Elder Yu was indifferent and did not move at all.

"What on earth is this old man Yu Changlin doing?"

Just when Qian Hong was puzzled, an explosion sounded, and the flames raged, engulfing the Qian family monks in the front of the team.

Then screams were heard everywhere, and the Qian family monks were all frightened and stopped moving.

Qian Hong understood it instantly, and at the same time couldn't help cursing in his heart:

Why is it a formation again!

Today's five updates are finished, and you can rest~

(I found that some book friends still ask questions about the character setting of the protagonist, so I will explain it again)

The setting of the protagonist's crossing:

Awakening some memories, non-traditional soul crossing, the body is your own, and there is also a blood relationship with your parents.

The protagonist is a 10-year-old child in the monastic world, but he has some modern thinking and cognition. He has a child's mentality and a different understanding of the world.
