Mo Hua's eyes shone with excitent.
"I must master this Stealth Technique!"
If he could learn it himself, he could move stealthily, creep up behind soone, press a fireball against the back of their head, and they might not even notice...
Mo Hua focused intently, extended his Divine Sense to its utmost, and scanned the forest back and forth, trying to "lock onto" Hidden elder-second completely...
Suddenly, Mo Hua's expression changed, and he moved like flowing water, leaving his original spot.
The instant Mo Hua left, a dagger narrowly stuck into the empty ground.
The venomous Spiritual Power intertwined, grinding the fallen leaves and soil on the ground into dust.
Seeing that Mo Hua had dodged again, Hidden elder-second cursed under his breath, gripped the dagger in reverse, and continued to stab at Mo Hua.
But around Mo Hua, a faint blue water light flowed, pulling him along, nimbly circling within Hidden elder-second's offense, dodging his deadly strikes one by one.
In the distance, Murong Caiyun and others saw Hidden elder-second appear and joined the attack.
Hidden elder-second, gasping for breath, increased the speed, ferocity, and strength of his attacks, hoping to kill this detestable lad all at once.
But no matter how hard he tried, the dagger was always a fraction away from Mo Hua.
This tiny distance seed within arm's reach yet as far as the horizon.
Finally, Hidden elder-second broke his guard, shouting in frustration,
"What the hell kind of movent technique is this?"
"Which damn, cursed idiot taught you?!"
Mo Hua responded, "Your grandpa taught !"
He silently added two more generations, in gratitude to Zhang Lan.
Hidden elder-second couldn't stand Mo Hua's sharp-tongued deanor but was powerless against him.
anwhile, Ouyang Feng and others arrived, encircling Hidden elder-second.
The group then confronted Hidden elder-second.
Hidden elder-second no longer rushed to hide.
He had tried to kill Mo Hua several tis without success, harboring a stomach full of fire.
Instead, it was Mo Hua who asked curiously,
"You can actually see through my Concealnt Technique?"
He had been hiding on the side, silent and unseen, yet Hidden elder-second had pulled him out twice.
He had never encountered this before.
Hidden elder-second sneered, "Young brat, trying to show off the axe at the door of the axemaker by daring to use your Concealnt Technique in front of ..."
Hidden elder-second wore a mocking expression.
Mo Hua, broad-minded, didn't take it to heart and blinked his eyes, probing,
"Did you use your Divine Sense to find ?"
"Why use Divine Sense?" Hidden elder-second scoffed, "With just my eyes, I can spot the flaws in your Concealnt Technique."
"With your eyes..."
Mo Hua pondered for a mont, then figured it out.
His Concealnt Technique involved covering his whole body with pure, almost transparent Water System Spiritual Power, allowing light and shadow to pass through, thus obscuring his tracks.
He was also wearing a Concealnt Cloak.
But the effects of both were roughly similar.
Ordinary cultivators might not notice, but Hidden elder-second, long versed in Stealth Techniques and living off such skills as a Sin Cultivator, would certainly spot the flaws.
So, he might not have been lying; it was indeed possible that he "saw" the flaws in his own Concealnt Technique.
Mo Hua nodded slightly and sighed internally.
Indeed, one should never underestimate any villain.
The Cultivation World is vast, brimming with talented individuals; others, who have invested so much effort and painstakingly researched, definitely have their insights and specialties.
Underestimating others could easily lead to a downfall.
Mo Hua silently admonished himself.
Seeing Mo Hua's serious expression, Hidden elder-second presumably sensed his own prowess and a shade of smugness crossed his sinister face.
But before he could relish in his triumph for long, his face darkened, realizing a terrifying issue:
"How did this brat... see through his own Concealnt?"
It wasn't so much "seeing through" as "sensing."
After a brief exchange, Hidden elder-second knew, even if he exerted his full Minor Five Elents Stealth Skill, so traces were still sensed by Mo Hua.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to dodge his killing moves.
But how did he "sense" it?
In Hidden elder-second's eyes, although Mo Hua's use of Concealnt was adept, the legacy was extrely crude and even seed patchy.
A shallow inheritance ant he couldn't possibly rely on experience to spot his own Concealnt's flaws with his eyes.
Spiritual Artifact?
He showed no signs of using a Spiritual Artifact.
Then the only other possibility:
Divine Sense...
But... Divine Sense?
Hidden elder-second found it absurd.
Could it be that he saw through the kid's Concealnt with skill,
While the kid saw through his own just with plain Divine Sense?
That was impossible...
Hidden elder-second scoffed, then upon a closer look, suddenly noticed the pupil of the opposite lad turn profoundly deep, tinged with a hint of pitch black.
Simultaneously, a cold, eerie, yet incredibly firm Divine Sense, like chains, quietly wound around him...
Hidden elder-second was instantly terrified.
"Is it really Divine Sense?!"
Seeing himself about to be locked by this eerie Divine Sense, Hidden elder-second, with the speed of lightning, pulled out a Rune and crushed it imdiately.
A burst of intense dust spread out, blocking the line of sight and confusing the aura.
At the sa ti, Hidden elder-second swiftly used the Minor Five Elents Stealth Skill, and his figure disappeared.
But he had spoken too much previously to show off, giving Mo Hua plenty of ti to lock his Divine Sense.
So, even though he had disappeared using Concealnt, Mo Hua's Divine Sense could still quite clearly capture his trail.
Hidden elder-second soon realized his nightmare had begun…
No matter where he fled, there was always a Fireball Technique like a "bright lamp" hitting him, forcing him to reveal himself and leaving him flustered and extrely embarrassed.
