第三千九百九十章 大智若愚

It wasn't just the cultivators of the lower realms; even if Dharmaraja had returned to life, or that legendary Asura, they would never dare treat him like a mere chicken or dog.

Madness.

This guy was either insane or had serious mental issues. Mo Yu's face showed a hint of amusement, but there was no trace of joy in it. He was so angry he laughed out of sheer rage. He had long been annoyed by this inexplicable fellow. If you wanted to die, I'll send you straight to hell.

With that, his fist flew towards the wine flask as if throwing it at Dharmaraja. Mo Yu's intention was to have the flask return and humiliate him who had humiliated himself. This guy underestimated me so much; he must taste his own medicine. He wished for the flask to come back and drench him with wine.

"Brother, be careful."

Even Lin Xuan found Dharmaraja's actions too childish. Alright, you might be strong, but Mo Yu wasn't an easy target. How could he use a wine flask as if playing with a fool? Dharmaraja would surely reap what he sowed.

Lin Xuan understood the situation clearly. He was both angry and frustrated. What had happened to his good helper? Why did it turn into such a useless teammate?

What should he do? Should he run away?

But Dharmaraja treated him well; how could he just watch him fall here?

For a moment, Lin Xuan found himself in a dilemma.

Many cultivators were selfish and self-centered. Lin Xuan was no exception to this rule, but when it came to loyalty, he wouldn't hesitate.

Leaving his sworn brother behind would be impossible for Lin Xuan. But staying here meant certain doom. He was torn between two choices.

What should he do?

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, a dramatic scene unfolded before him.

Boom!

Mo Yu's fist struck the wine flask, but instead of flying back as expected, it seemed to strike something heavy and solid. Mo Yu's face turned pale, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Pain etched on his face, he looked like he had been hit by a lightning bolt. Lin Xuan widened his eyes in shock; he couldn't believe what was happening before him.

Was this...

Before Lin Xuan could ponder further, the scene transformed dramatically.

Without any action from Dharmaraja, the lid of the wine flask popped open. A fragrant stream of alcohol spilled out. But soon, it turned into a vast sea of waves.

Towering waves crashed down! Variouslaw or rule forces emerged from within.

This wasn't just fine wine; it was an ambush.

Dozens of feet-high waves engulfed Mo Yu, but this was only the beginning. Sibilant sounds of breaking air filled his ears as countless crystal threads poured out of the flask.

Each thread transformed into a sword beam, sharp and blinding, sweeping towards Mo Yu with overwhelming force.

The ferocity of the attack far surpassed what Lin Xuan had faced earlier. Moreover, while facing him before, Mo Yu had used a shield to defend himself, but this time he was caught off guard, achieving a perfect element of surprise.

He was completely surrounded by sword beams. Blood splattered everywhere as Dharmaraja gloated: "What a fool! You don't even understand simple psychological warfare. Using your hands to catch my life-bound treasure? Do you think you're Asura? Hmph, not even the Asura King from back then would dare."

Mo Yu was furious, realizing he had fallen into his opponent's trap. That so-called wine flask was actually Dharmaraja's life-bound treasure.

How could he have hidden it so well? He exerted no pressure or aura before the attack and feigned madness, making him completely unguarded and walking straight into the trap.

With each scream echoing in his ears, Mo Yu had suffered severe injuries. Despite his tenacity, he still refused to give up, fighting desperately to break free.

"Stop your futile struggles."

Dharmaraja took a bite from a divine fruit, mumbled something indistinctly: "Brother Three, why are you still standing there? Do you not understand the meaning of falling into someone's trap?"

"Oh! Oh!"

The sudden changes left Lin Xuan speechless. Hearing Dharmaraja's reminder, he finally realized his mistake—such a good opportunity had been wasted.

It was never too late to mend one’s ways. Lin Xuan cast a spell.

The nine nearly dead true spirits flickered with spiritual light and transformed into the sharp Kunlun Sword.

Following this, sword beams rained down on Mo Yu along with Dharmaraja's attack.

Meanwhile, the eight-tailed immortal fox, who had been enjoying the show, reacted too. She hated Mo Yu for his broken promises. This was a golden opportunity; how could she miss it?

With a wave of her hand, she revealed several treasures and joined the assault on Mo Yu without hesitation.

Screams filled the air as Mo Yu's frustration turned to despair. In such dire straits, there was no turning back.

His final cries for mercy were useless. Releasing him would only bring endless trouble. The three opponents before him weren't easily fooled.

No matter what Mo Yu said, it was futile. After a few more breaths, he finally vanished from sight.

Even his soul and essence had been irreparably lost, leaving no chance of reincarnation.

"Phew!"

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. This battle had been extremely perilous, especially with the demonic transformation of Mo Yu's true body. He felt the threat of falling to his doom. He was still complaining about his sworn brother fostering a tiger. If he had acted earlier, it wouldn't have caused such a commotion.

But who would have thought that at this critical moment, Dharmaraja, whom he had complained about, would turn the tide in such an amusing way.

Real and fake, real and unreal.

It seemed absurd and full of luck, but upon reflection, Lin Xuan realized it was all part of Dharmaraja's carefully laid plan. After this battle, he still couldn't discern his sworn brother's true strength. Dharmaraja had outsmarted him with perfect strategy.

Cunning!

Lin Xuan had plenty of experience in strategizing, but compared to Dharmaraja, it was like a small witch seeing a great wizard. He could only admire.

Among the three realms' experts, Lin Xuan feared Rain桐, Ice Soul, and now there was Dharmaraja.
