Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2174 Chapter 1019: I'm Done Playing_3

"About to die..."

"Guess, who'll finally be the one to kill this brat?"

It wasn't just the audience guessing.

Some sect prodigies, holding the "Tumo Orders" in their hands, were both excited yet regretful in their hearts.

Excited that Mo Hua was about to be slain.

Regretful it wasn't by their own hands.

Amidst the anticipation of the masses.

Mo Hua felt the timing was right, pointed his forehead with his hand, shattered his own Dao Discussion Jade, then with a flash of blue light... vanished.

He quit playing.

He exited the stage...

Seeing Mo Hua's spiritual power exhausted, the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, who was raising the Sky Star Sword, planning to finish Mo Hua with one strike, was immediately dumbfounded on the spot.

Other Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were also a bit stunned.

Even Xiao Wuchen's expression froze for a moment.

Outside of the Taoist Field, cultivators who originally wore smiles and were full of expectations, suddenly all froze with stone-like expressions, stupefied on the spot.

After quite a while, someone couldn't believe it and said:

"Just now... did that brat...

"Shatter his own Dao Discussion Jade?"

"So does that count as him being killed?"

"He died by his own hand, how can that count as being killed?" "Hiss---"

The sound of gasping for air surged up one after another.

Simultaneously, an unnamed fire of anger within everyone's hearts rose uncontrollably.

"Is this for real?"

"I'm really... astounded by this little brat..."

"Can't he just die properly once?"

"I can't stand it, my blood is rushing to my brain..."

Taixu Gate was in almost a certain defeat, Mo Hua was also almost certainly dead.

The highly anticipated climax was just about to unfold.

But this brat, shamelessly shattered his own Dao Discussion Jade and exited on his own.

He couldn't even get "killed" properly once.

Everyone angrily shouted:

"I've never seen someone this shameless!"

"Shattering his own Dao Discussion Jade, he'd even do something like this?"

"This is a sword discussion, it's not an actual life-or-death battle, with the protection of the large formation on Dao Mountain, can't he even fight to the death?"

"Cowards are even more despicable than losers!"

"If he had any kind of dignity, he wouldn't do something like this, even thinking about it would be a heinous sin!"

"After all, he's a prodigy of Taixu Gate, and the Qianxue Formation Path Leader, how will his peers see him doing this? How will the elders see him? How will the Sect Leader see him? How will the ancestors see him?"

"Shouldn't he feel utterly ashamed?"

"In the entire Taixu Gate, no, in the entire Qianxue state boundary, is there nobody he cares about?"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, everyone began to verbally abuse Mo Hua.

From within the crowd, Gu Changhuai silently sighed, thinking that Mo Hua- that brat-was indeed clever, always finding an odd angle to infuriate others to half-death...

Of course, Mo Hua was completely unaware of this point.

To him, shattering his own Dao Discussion Jade was no big deal.

Moreover, he was used to keeping "life and death" in his own hands.

Even if he lost, he wanted to exit on his own terms.

Letting someone else strike him with a sword always felt a bit unsafe in his

heart.

What if the fifth-grade large formation on Dao Mountain fails, wouldn't that sword take his life?

Though it is a fifth-grade formation and it's a large formation, the chances of it failing are minuscule, almost impossible.

But Mo Hua, being a Formation Master, always trusts only his formations.

No matter how strong others' formations might be, they're still others'; he

never finds them reliable in his heart.

He neither blindly adores nor blindly trusts.

This is a self-discipline of an excellent Formation Master.

Therefore, rather than being "killed" by someone, it's safer to shatter his own Dao Discussion Jade.

As for what others or even the sect thinks, Mo Hua couldn't care less.

In ordinary terms, with the formation's protection, one wouldn't really die in the sword discussion conference, so the default expectation for most sword discussion disciples is:

"Fight to the end."

Moreover, so many sect seniors, elders, and fellow disciples are watching.

If you fight bravely, giving your all, even if you lose, nothing will be said.

But if you shatter your own Dao Discussion Jade and escape without fighting, that creates a big problem.

A prodigy without courage will be looked down upon by peers and will be

negated by elders and sect seniors.

But these common opinions hold no sway over Mo Hua.

His situation is quite unique.

Among his peers in Taixu Gate, he holds considerable "prestige," regardless of

what he does; in the eyes of his fellow disciples, he's an "admirable and

remarkable" junior brother.

The elders of Taixu Gate often have to consider Mo Hua's attitude when doing things, to keep him happy.

The Sect Leader of Taixu Gate is very lenient with Mo Hua, because he's a "love

child."'"

The ancestors of Taixu Gate, dote on Mo Hua greatly, because he's a "direct

grandson."

No one in the entire Taixu Gate manages Mo Hua.

Shattering a Dao Discussion Jade is just that; it's not like he's blown up the gate

of Taixu Mountain, it's no big of a deal.

And so, the sword discussion ended like this.

Even though Mo Hua lost, it only made people angrier.

The audience held frustration in their hearts, cursing and swearing, wishing

they could drag Mo Hua out and give him a beating.

But not everyone was angry at Mo Hua.

Among the crowd, there were many who genuinely cared for Mo Hua, hoping

for his victory.

Zhang Lan sat behind the Chief Elder, with an expressionless face, yet silently

sighed in his heart, deeply feeling the regret:

"In the end, still lost.."

He originally wanted to see Mo Hua showcase a piece of his prowess, display

his valor again on the sword discussion conference.

Now it seems, he oversimplified his expectations.

The Qianxue Sword Discussion Conference is truly a top-tier event in Qian State, each prodigy stronger than the last, truly there is another mountain

beyond the mountain...

Even Mo Hua has to lose.

Zhang Lan sighed.

On the other side, on the Shangguan family's viewing platform.

The originally hopeful Yu Er also showed some loss on her small face,

whispering:

"Brother Mo, lost..."

Wenren Wan's gaze dimmed slightly, but she still smiled as she rubbed Yu Er's

head:

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, even your Brother Mo can't win all the time..."

Yu Er nodded, yet still couldn't help but feel unhappy. Wenren Wan smiled and consoled him, saying: "Losing one match means

nothing, more matches are to come, Brother Mo will surely win back bit by

bit..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Er's eyes lit up with anticipation again, seriously nodding:

"Mm!"

Wenren Wan gently patted Yu Er's small face, with a tender gaze.

But her brow was still shrouded with a faint layer of worry.

She could naturally see that the gap between Taixu Gate and Heavenly Sword

Sect was indeed too large.

Xiao Wuchen's strength was indeed too strong.

And Heavenly Sword Sect is only one of the Four Great Sects.

There are at least three more prodigies of the same caliber as Xiao Wuchen

within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The upcoming matches will only get more treacherous. Hoping to achieve victory against such top-tier prodigies and score points

against the Four Great Sects is truly... as hard as climbing to the heavens.

Wenren Wan couldn't help but sigh.

Two days later, in the next Earth-level Sword Discussion, Mo Hua's luck was

similarly unfortunate.

He encountered Ao Zhan, the strongest disciple from Longding Sect, one of the

Four Great Sects, also one of the top-tier prodigies in the Qianxue Sword

Discussion.

The Ao family's ancestors have Karma Dragon bloodline.

Among his generation, Ao Zhan is the most gifted and his bloodline the closest

to his ancestors.

His Dragon Cauldron Body Refining Skill was cultivated to an extremely high

level.

With the undying physique tempered by Dragon Blood, Ao Zhan from the

Longding Sect can be compared to the top-tier prodigy, Xiao Wuchen from the

Heavenly Sword Sect.

In this round of the sword discussion, Mo Hua lost again.
