The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

The butcher wasn't idle while he attacked. The old fisherman's fishing rod was only a hair slower than the butcher's blade. But seeing that his two companions had been sent flying by the person in front of him using internal force, he hesitated to thrust his rod forward. His movements slowed down involuntarily.

However, after slowing down, he couldn't figure out what to do next. He couldn't attack, and he couldn't stop. He was suddenly at a loss.

The Taoist on the side was also very anxious. He didn't even bother to heal his injuries and hurriedly continued to instruct, "This person's internal energy is too strong to be fought head-on. You can only outsmart him. Try to seal his acupoints and stop him from circulating his energy!"

The old fisherman's eyes lit up when he heard this. That's right, how could he have forgotten about this? Internal energy circulates through the meridians. If you seal the acupoints, it's like cutting off the circulation route of internal energy. No matter how strong your internal energy is, you won't be able to use it.

In addition, blocking the acupoints will also cause the nearby muscles to lose control.

Earlier, he had sealed twenty-four acupoints of the woman surnamed Xia in a row, rendering her unable to move anywhere except her head.

Of course, that was also because the woman surnamed Xia had fainted, making it so easy. But against a master like Lu Jing, trying to seal all his meridians was obviously wishful thinking. However, if he only intercepted a small section of energy, thereby preventing the circulation of his internal energy throughout his body, he could grit his teeth and possibly do it.

But it would be very difficult, especially since the Taoist's instructions had definitely been heard by the young man on the other side. The other party would definitely focus on preventing him from sealing his acupoints next.

But at least he had a direction to work towards, so he wouldn't be at a loss anymore. The old fisherman winked at the acrobat, signaling him to cooperate. The acrobat naturally nodded in agreement.

Then, the acrobat released the hand covering his stomach and took out three flying knives from his waist.

Seeing the flying knives, Lu Jing's hairs stood on end. The butcher's knife just now had almost scared him to death. For a moment, Lu Jing even thought he was doomed.

As a result, he didn't expect that he was lucky. The knife landed right on his chest, where the dudou was covering. Before Lu Jing's cold sweat had completely subsided, he saw someone on the other side take out flying knives!

This was really going to kill him. Lu Jing knew very well that he must not let the other party's flying knives be thrown! So he immediately changed his target and rushed towards the acrobat.

The latter immediately became nervous. Lu Jing had repeatedly "proven" that he was a master, and the acrobat naturally had no doubts about this. His martial arts were originally at the bottom of the Seven Heroes, if not last, close to it.

In addition, he had been injured in the abdomen during the previous battle with the female disciple of Washing Sword Pavilion, which made him even less confident in himself. Seeing that terrifying master suddenly staring at him, his first reaction was to retreat.

However, Lu Jing was also going all out this time, determined to stick to the guy playing with flying knives and not let his flying knives be thrown. He reversed the Small Vajra Force in the first moment, pouring internal energy into his legs, and chasing after him in big strides.

Seeing this, the acrobat broke out in a cold sweat. He had already held a flying knife in his hand, but he hesitated to throw it. One reason was that the distance between the two sides was too close, making it difficult to throw. Second, he was timid. He only intended to come over to assist, but he didn't expect that the butcher, who rushed up first, would be taken down in one move. Then, for some reason, that person stared at him again.

He was very nervous now, only hoping that Lu Jing would quickly find someone else. He really didn't want to do anything to anger the other party again. Therefore, he played hide-and-seek with Lu Jing in front of the main hall. Fortunately, this could be considered completing the task of covering assigned by the old fisherman.

Lu Jing was so angry. His favorite path in the game before was agility. He didn't expect to be repaid now. Now, he had the shortest legs among all the people in this temple, and he was being led around like a monkey.

He knew that if he dragged on like this, the situation would definitely get worse and worse. Once people saw through his weakness, especially since there was a ranged class here, he could be killed by kiting.

Unfortunately, it was still the same problem as before. He didn't have any skills on his panel now, so there wasn't much room for maneuver. Lu Jing had basically done his best, and the rest was beyond his control.

In fact, Lu Jing had already begun to see the look of doubt in the acrobat's eyes, as well as the latter's eagerness to try, which meant that the time left for him was getting less and less.

While the acrobat hadn't made up his mind to throw the flying knife in his hand, the old fisherman on the other side made another move!

Therefore, even using a fishing rod could replace his fingers to seal acupoints, avoiding the danger of facing the master in front of him at close range.

But no matter what he used to seal the acupoints, he needed to transmit his internal energy into the other party's body. The old fisherman knew that Lu Jing's internal energy was strong, so he attacked very quickly, sealing four acupoints on Lu Jing's body with the fishing rod in almost an instant. At the same time, because he was worried that his internal energy would be dissolved by Lu Jing's internal energy before it could seal the acupoints, he also went all out this time, urging his power to the tenth level!

He had seen the fate of the butcher and the Taoist, so he naturally knew the consequences of doing so. But this was the advantage of having more people. Even if he lost his combat power, there were still the boss and the fifth. Once Lu Jing lost his internal energy, it would be a dead end.

He could still figure out this account clearly.

Therefore, when the old fisherman also vomited blood and flew out, he didn't panic. On the contrary, he had a sense of relief that the overall situation was settled. At this moment, he actually saw that this kid in front of him seemed to be very ordinary except for his strong internal energy. He didn't see any powerful moves, and his light work didn't seem to be very good either.

Once his internal energy was sealed, he would no longer be able to jump around.

However, the ease in the old fisherman's eyes was replaced by horror in the next moment, because he suddenly found that Lu Jing, who should have lost his internal energy, was still alive and kicking, and the speed of chasing the fifth was not reduced at all.

On the other side, Lu Jing was also stunned when he was hit. He had also heard the Taoist's words before, and he secretly called out that he was in trouble. However, the acrobat on the other side suddenly took out a flying knife, which was equivalent to two faucets leaking at home. Lu Jing could only choose the one that was leaking the most to plug first.

He couldn't do anything about the remaining one. Moreover, with the old fisherman's speed, even if he had been prepared before, he still couldn't defend against it. So this was probably the second time Lu Jing felt that he was going to die in a short period of time after entering the temple.

But then he found that the flow of internal energy in his meridians was not hindered in any way, and he quickly dissolved the internal energy used by the old fisherman to seal the acupoints, allowing the muscles nearby to regain control. The whole process was very short.

It was only at this time that Lu Jing remembered that his internal energy seemed to be different from others.

Because they are actually... running in reverse.
