Chapter 1638: Chapter 852: Bone Order Fish_3 Mo Hua could only condense six paths. This Water Prison Technique is stronger than his own! Mo Hua’s expression turned grim. He was all too clear about the effects of the Water Prison Technique. Once trapped, he’d inevitably become like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape. A moment later, a cold and somewhat cruel Divine Sense locked onto him again. Mo Hua’s expression turned serious, and he once again used the Water Passing Step, narrowly escaping. At the same time, in the distance, a figure appeared in a water shadow. It was Master Xiao, holding a mirror, looking at Mo Hua with great surprise, and couldn’t help but exclaim: "In terms of quick wit and agile movement, young master, you are in the top three among cultivators I’ve seen in my life." "If considering cultivation as well, you are undoubtedly the first." "To capture you, I’ve specially prepared a Peeping Mirror to break your concealment; also gave the Fish Bone Token to Mr. Gu and others, causing them to be careless; meanwhile, using Water Shadow Step to cover, and suddenly striking, yet unexpectedly, you still managed to dodge... " "Caught off guard, even with two Water Prison Techniques, I couldn’t capture you... " Master Xiao thought about it more and more, finding it unbelievable. Not to mention a mere Foundation Building Cultivator, even an Initial Golden Core Cultivator would be trapped with such meticulous planning and means. This little rascal is indeed strange... Mo Hua was somewhat upset and said, "Master Xiao, you and I have no past grievances or recent conflicts, why target a little cultivator like me?" Master Xiao remained silent, "Do you really not know?" Mo Hua nodded. Master Xiao coldly smiled, "Is that thing in your hands?" Mo Hua looked bewildered, "What thing?" "That..." Master Xiao’s gaze sharpened but he didn’t say it out loud, instead saying, "The thing you snatched from Water Yama..." As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned. Even Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official were somewhat surprised, not expecting this. When did this kid Mo Hua snatch something from Water Yama? But Mo Hua directly shook his head, "I don’t even know what you’re talking about?" Master Xiao’s forehead twitched. "How do you know I took something from Water Yama?" Mo Hua asked confidently. Master Xiao glanced back at Water Yama. Mo Hua understood, then somewhat angrily said, "This Water Yama is cunning, nothing from his mouth can be trusted!" "That item, maybe he hid it himself. He’s blaming it on me, trying to use someone else to kill me, using you, Master Xiao, to kill me." "I’m so weak, I would die at your hands with a single strike. By then, dead with no evidence, Water Yama could conveniently swallow the item whole." "Truly malicious intentions..." Mo Hua spoke righteously. Master Xiao listened and suddenly felt that Mo Hua was making sense too. That thing being in Mo Hua’s hands was indeed only Water Yama’s one-sided words, and besides that, there was no way to prove the true whereabouts of the Water Prison Forbidden Box. Master Xiao glanced at Water Yama again. Water Yama, already furious to the point of almost bursting, hurriedly said: "Big brother, do not believe this little rascal’s nonsense, this little rascal is cunning and shameless, not a word from his mouth is to be trusted!" Master Xiao coldly looked at him, unsettling Water Yama, before turning his head and saying: "Little brother, honest folks don’t talk nonsense; if Water Yama didn’t say anything, that item is in your hands." Mo Hua still refused to admit, "What item?" Master Xiao was slightly angry, coldly laughed, "Fine, still playing dumb with me." He immediately used the Water Shadow Step again, intending to use it to get close to Mo Hua, so he could leverage cultivation suppression to restrict Mo Hua’s movements and take the opportunity to use the Water Prison Technique, even one Water Prison Technique trapping Mo Hua for just a breath would make him "a thing in the bag." But just as Master Xiao made his move, two figures suddenly blocked in front of him. It was Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official. Gu Changhuai held a feather fan, surrounded by swirling Wind Blades, Xia Canonical Official holding a short sword, its blade gleaming coldly. Both protected Mo Hua in front, looking at Master Xiao with unfriendly eyes. Master Xiao’s face twitched, he sighed slightly, "I didn’t intend to become enemies with you two, but I didn’t expect you to press so closely, repeatedly hindering my plans, so you can’t blame me for not considering our shared past." Gu Changhuai wore a cold smile but soon sensed something was wrong. Around Master Xiao, an intense Evil Qi entwined. At the same time, an extremely vast and cold Spiritual Power flowed through his meridians. "This is..." Gu Changhuai’s expression changed, and suddenly he realized, "a... Superior Spell?!" He immediately activated all the Wind Blades, turning into a gust of blue wind, attacking Master Xiao. Simultaneously, Xia Canonical Official, like a flash of cold light, appeared in front of Master Xiao, short sword raised high, radiating icy aura. The power of a Superior Spell is great, but comparatively, the time for casting and adjusting is also long. Against ordinary cultivators it’s fine, as they can still prepare a big move, determining victory with one strike. But Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, experienced in magic battles, naturally wouldn’t fall for it. They knew to attack with all their might before the Superior Daoist Magic took shape, even if unable to break the spell, they could seriously injure Master Xiao. However, their prediction was slightly off. The time Master Xiao took to form the Superior Daoist Magic was much shorter than they anticipated. Almost as soon as their Wind Blades and Sword Qi reached Master Xiao, his Spiritual Power surged, and deep blue water energy transformed into countless chains, layering and wrapping around him. Then in just an instant, the Spiritual Lock exploded, spreading like countless threads. On the ground, one prison after another rose. And these countless chains, along with layers of prisons, entwined and wrapped together, forming a majestic and terrifying... Stagnant Water Taoist Prison! This Taoist Prison seemed capable of binding and suppressing all cultivators within its spell range. Gu Changhuai was bound tightly by dense chains, unable to move. And Xia Canonical Official, being close to Master Xiao, was even more heavily suppressed by several prisons. Within the Taoist Prison, stagnant water spread, making it almost hard to breathe. When Master Xiao was gathering power, he sensed something wrong, and Mo Hua, already having run far away, couldn’t help but gasp at the sight. This Daoist Magic, Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official might not know its origin, but Mo Hua understood it clearer than anyone. The sect-protecting ultimate skill of Water Prison Sect, rare in the Cultivation World, a nearly unique superior control class Daoist Magic— Water Prison Skill! Mo Hua once remembered, Elder Yu Canghai of Water Prison Sect had said: This Water Prison Skill is the highest ’control spell’ in the Water Prison Sect’s inheritance system, able to restrain all cultivators who practice Water Prison Sect’s techniques, and movement technique. At the same time, the Water Prison Skill is a true "strong control" spell, ignoring immunity effects from Gold Body Techniques or Golden Body Talismans, forcibly restraining all cultivators... The ultimate skill of Water Prison Sect, a sect-protecting inheritance. Superior Daoist Magic, strong control spell, ignoring Gold Body. Mo Hua’s heart grew increasingly shocked. He never expected, this Water Prison Skill would fall into Master Xiao’s hands?!
