Chapter 333: Tricking the Acquaintances!

"Fellow Daoist, wait!"

"Wait, Fellow Daoist!"

"…"

Seeing someone passing by, Song Tianquan and the other two couldn't wait to shout at the top of their lungs.

The Absolute Beginning Disciple's voice was particularly loud.

Soon.

The passerby approached and was startled by the scene before them.

The three of them hurriedly explained the situation, seeking rescue.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, that villain has been heavily injured by the three of us. His combat strength is less than one percent of its peak; he poses no threat to you at all!"

"Exactly, exactly! He's currently running for his life. Fellow Daoist, please save us!"

"I can swear on my honor as an Absolute Beginning Disciple!"

"…"

Hearing this, the person finally agreed.

Just as they were about to act.

A familiar voice rang out in the ears of Song Tianquan and the others.

Instantly, their bodies stiffened, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Finished!

Tricked again!

"Withered Glory Sword Art!"

"Ah—"

In a flash, the battle was already over.

Han Li finished cleaning up the battlefield.

He bent over, coughing repeatedly, shaking his head and sighing, "Sigh, I can't go on. My last bit of Spirit Medicine to replenish life essence is used up. This time I really have to run!"

Everyone: "…"

…There was now one more figure hanging from the tree.

A thick aura of resentment permeated the air above the forest.

"You Holy Land scum! To think you'd collude with a Langya lowly Cultivator to entrap me. I trusted you so much!"

"Fellow Daoist, you must believe us, we didn't do it on purpose! It's all that lowly Cultivator's fault; he intentionally showed weakness, pretending to be on the verge of death every time to lure us into the trap!"

"Bah! Didn't you repeatedly claim he was heavily injured by you? Shameless!"

"Cough, cough, cough. Hey, another Fellow Daoist is passing by!"

"Wait! Wait, Fellow Daoist, help—"

The newly arrived Prodigy's eyes were bright as he shouted loudly, his limbless body swaying there, making the branches rustle.

"These are all Holy Land Disciples! They can swear on the honor of their Holy Lands that there is absolutely no trap!"

Song Tianquan: "???"

Huang Luo: "???"

They thought that this time, there wouldn't be any more problems.

Unexpectedly.

The moment that Prodigy appeared.

The familiar sword light flashed once more.

"Withered Glory Sword Art!"

"Ah—"

"…"

…"Fellow Daoist, wait…"

"…"

"Withered Glory Sword Art!"

"Fellow Daoist, wait once more…"

"…"

"Withered Glory Sword Art Again!"

"…"

"Fellow Daoist…"

"Withered Glory…"

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist…"

"Withered Glory, Withered Glory, Withered Glory…"

The fifth!

The sixth!

The tenth!

The familiar scene repeated over and over.

People hung in clusters on the trees, and a rain of red blood fell in the forest.

"How festive!" Han Li muttered to himself.

As he spoke, he bent over and coughed again, "Sigh, I can't do it, I really can't fight anymore. I'm exhausted, I have to run!"

Everyone on the tree: "!!!"

The earliest victims like Song Tianquan and the others didn't even lift their eyelids this time.

Words like these.

They had heard Han Li say them too many times.

Every single time was a lie.

They had finally realized that this person was too insidious, had no integrity at all, and especially loved 'fishing'.

Outside the Grotto-heaven, the powerhouses and the netizens watching the livestream had long since become numb.

"Ruthless, this guy is truly ruthless!"

"Using the same trick repeatedly and it actually works? Are these people too stupid?"

"You can't blame them. This Langya student is too despicable, and his disguise is too convincing. Even if it were us, if we weren't watching from the outside, we'd probably fall for it too!"

"Tsk tsk, it's hard to imagine so many Prodigies being repeatedly toyed with by a single Langya student, played right in the palm of his hand!"

"These are just despicable petty tricks, they amount to nothing. If he has the guts, he should compete head-on; any one of them could suppress him!"

"Heh, is this your first day of cultivation? In the world of cultivation, survival is the only logic. Regardless of whether it's the Righteous Path or petty tricks, if it works, it's the Great Dao!"

"Indeed. If this were the outside world, these people would all be dead; not a single one would escape!"

"…"

The powerhouses had varying attitudes.

Those whose Disciples had fallen to Han Li's hands were mostly indignant and unwilling, using various roars to mask their embarrassment and anger.

They felt that being defeated by such a devious fellow was too humiliating.

On the other hand, many factions friendly to the Northern Dark Holy Land, or those that were simply neutral, were more objective.

They felt that even if this person's talent was poor.

With such unscrupulous methods, he would definitely become a figure to be reckoned with in the Cultivation World in the future and wouldn't fare poorly.

As for the livestream chat, it was almost entirely filled with cheers.

: Hahaha, another one down!

: This guy is amazing, playing Holy Land Disciples like dogs!

: These are Holy Land Prodigies? They don't look like much, each one seems to have no brain!

: No, no, no, having a brain is useless when you can't stop this kid from playing the pig. Most importantly, he has those Prodigies from Holy Lands and other great powers acting as inside men; he gets them every time!

: Seriously, this is making me laugh. If I hadn't watched from the beginning, I'd think those tied to the tree were his accomplices!

: Tsk tsk tsk, he's too ruthless. Haven't you noticed? From start to finish, he hasn't used any other moves; every time he strikes, it's a life-swapping one!

: This kind of technique is usually used as a trump card, but he just uses it as a basic attack!

: He goes all out no matter who he encounters; this kid will definitely be a big shot in the future.

…Speaking on the internet, there was no need to worry about retaliation. These netizens said whatever was on their minds, even using extremely harsh language, criticizing those Prodigies from the great powers as if they were less than pigs or dogs.

Seeing this, many of the great experts present clenched their fists tightly.

They wished they could punch the light screen into pieces… Meanwhile.

In the Azure Cloud Realm, news had already begun to spread.

"Have you heard? Some Holy Land Prodigies have set up an ambush in the east, and everyone passing by has fallen victim!"

"Oh? Really?"

"It's true. I have a Senior Brother who took the eastern path to the core area. He encountered some Holy Land Disciples calling for help halfway. He felt something was wrong and sent me a message via Communication Talisman before he went, but there's been no word since!"

"I saw it from a distance; those people are in a miserable state. Their limbs were severed and they were hung from trees, blood dripping constantly. They can't live, yet they can't die!"

"Hiss…"

"Which Holy Land?"

"Qiankun and Absolute Beginning both!"

"Yes, yes, a friend of mine encountered them too!"

"Dignified Holy Land Disciples acting so insidiously?" Someone couldn't believe it.

"When Holy Land Disciples get insidious, they aren't even human!" someone sneered.

"Hiss, I never expected it. They usually look so righteous, but they're actually sanctimonious hypocrites!"

"In any case, staying away from the Qiankun and Absolute Beginning Holy Lands is definitely the right move!"

"This should only be a few of them, right? Not everyone in the Holy Lands should be like that!"

"Do you dare to bet? If you run into them once, you'll be sent out!"

"…"

Many people were left speechless.

The words were blunt, but the logic was sound.

Holy Land Prodigies were generally stronger than the Prodigies of other factions to begin with.

If they also had no bottom line like this.

Who could fare well against them?

"Our Sect has always had close ties with the Absolute Beginning Holy Land. They shouldn't move against us, right?"

"Heh, the first ones they trick are people with that exact mindset! It's harder for them to get outsiders!"

"…"

For a time.

All sorts of rumors flew about.

The news spread among the many Prodigies, warning them to take it as a lesson…
