Chapter 1563: Chapter 829: Plundering
Gu Changhuai was standing quite a distance away and didn’t hear Mo Hua’s shout, but he did see that firework signal.
He was very familiar with that firework signal.
“Mo Hua!”
Gu Changhuai’s expression tightened.
“Mo Hua?” Xia Canonical Official paused, slashing the throat of a water bandit with her icy short sword, and turned to look at Gu Changhuai, frowning, “Wasn’t he supposed to stay on the boat outside?”
Gu Changhuai remained silent.
Mo Hua was as wily as a ghost, so he was never surprised by whatever Mo did.
And given his temperant, if he could actually stay still on the boat without stirring up so trouble, that would be a real shock.
After a mont’s thought, Gu Changhuai said, “I’ll go take a look…” With that, he used his movent technique, his silhouette like the wind, heading toward the direction of the firework signal.
“Gu…”
Xia Canonical Official did not have ti to finish her words. Seeing that Gu Changhuai had already left, she shook her head, gave a few instructions to several mbers of the direct lineage of the Xia family beside her, and also used her movent technique to follow.
Outside the stone fortress, Mo Hua used the Water Passing Step, sprinting wildly with extre speed, leaving a faint trail of water threads as he weaved through a group of water bandits who were stunned, not knowing what had happened.
Behind him, the Water Yama was going crazy, eyes red, frantically chasing after him, gritting his teeth and shouting:
“Scoundrel, don’t run!”
Mo Hua ran even faster.
He had calculated; now, he could only run.
Originally, he wanted to use a Mini teorite Spell to sneak attack and take out the Water Yama and seize his jade box.
But the Mini teorite Spell has too long a preparation ti, and the Water Yama was too vigilant, failing him several tis.
Ti was also too pressing; there was no ti to set up a Formation or use Sword Control.
If he delayed any longer, the jade box would be stashed away into the Water Yama’s Storage Bag.
Once the jade box was in the Water Yama’s Storage Bag, it would be many tis harder to snatch it back.
Luckily, with so effort, and taking advantage of the Water Yama’s rush and negligence, he managed to grab the jade box like snatching a tiger’s tooth.
Now that he had the jade box, he definitely couldn’t afford a fight to the death with the Water Yama.
Although Mo Hua didn’t know exactly what the jade box was, judging from the Water Yama’s expression, it was probably more precious than his own life.
With his lifeblood stolen, the current Water Yama was the “furious” Water Yama.
Mo Hua wasn’t about to tempt fate.
Moreover, there were a bunch of water bandits around.
So the best solution was to “run.”
It wasn’t like he didn’t have “backup.”
Mo Hua set off the firework and, under the Water Yama’s mad-dog-like chase, ran for a while. Looking up, he suddenly saw Gu Changhuai, swift as a gale, and imdiately delighted, he shouted:
“Uncle Gu, the Water Yama is here!”
Water Yama!
Gu Changhuai’s pupils contracted instantly, and his gaze beca sharp. The green wind around him transford into feather-like blades, attacking the Water Yama who was pursuing Mo Hua.
Behind Gu Changhuai, the mont Xia Canonical Official heard Mo Hua shout “Water Yama,” her sense of killing intent intensified, and three icy Sword Qi coalesced on her short sword, cutting through the air with chilling sword light, straight for the Water Yama.
“Two Golden Cores!”
The Water Yama’s eyes widened in shock.
The feather blades were dazzling, the ice sword chilling, arriving in an instant.
The Water Yama had no choice but to abandon Mo Hua and focus all his energy on confronting Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official’s deadly attacks.
Mo Hua took the opportunity to catch his breath, quietly retreating to one side, taking a mont to put the jade box into his Storage Ring.
In doing so, the Water Yama would never see this precious treasure of his ever again.
anwhile, the furious Water Yama was now too occupied to care about anything else.
In terms of raw power, Gu Changhuai at the Golden Core Realm, even with his cultivation limited, could easily suppress him.
Just one Gu Changhuai was enough for him to handle.
Now there was also a Xia Canonical Official.
The Water Yama felt enormous pressure, and within a few exchanges, he had incurred five or six injuries. If it continued like this, in a dozen more moves, he feared he’d be taken down.
The Water Yama’s heart was filled with shock and fury, his eyes turning blood-red, Evil Qi coalescing.
Since his last encounter with the Water Yama, Gu Changhuai had gained experience. The mont the Evil Qi erged, he felt a sensation in his heart, imdiately warning Xia Canonical Official:
“Don’t look into his eyes!”
Xia Canonical Official was briefly startled by the warning, but sheeded Gu Changhuai’s advice, avoiding the Water Yama’s eyes, keeping her gaze focused solely on the Water Yama’s heart.
All her sword moves targeted the Water Yama’s heart.
The Water Yama was furious, cursing in his heart:
“Damn it, how do these two Golden Cores know to guard against my Pupil Skill?!”
“Which insider leaked my techniques?”
Previous encounters with Gu Changhuai saw his face masked, wielding a lesser-used sword, and his identity was related to the “Water Prison Sect.”
But the current Gu Changhuai was a Golden Core Steward of the Taoist Court, using a feather fan to activate the Wind Blade Skill, employing spells he usually excelled at, with strength significantly greater than before.
The Water Yama hadn’t recognized him imdiately.
A few more exchanges passed, weighing heavily on the Water Yama’s mind.
“At this rate, I’m going to die! I must escape!”
“But if I flee, that jade box…”
The Water Yama felt as if his heart were being sliced, his eyes turning a blood-red, nearly bleeding.
Then he clenched his teeth fiercely, “Enough! As long as I’m alive, there’s room to turn things around. What’s lost, I’ll just snatch back later!”
Decisively, the Water Yama used the Water Shadow Step to evade under Gu Changhuai’s Wind Blades, barely dodging an ice sword, then maximally circulated his Spiritual Power.
His figure suddenly transford into several water shadows.
These water shadows, like ghosts, lunged at Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, montarily hindering them.
By the ti Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official distinguished the true body among the water shadows, the Water Yama had already escaped nearly ten zhang away.
At this mont, a Water Prison appeared out of thin air, forming six water-shaped Spiritual Locks, tightly binding the Water Yama.
