The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#638 - I'll ask you one last time

Vital point immunity? And able to recover from injuries by eating. Reading М

Lu Jing coldly observed Little Aku Man from the side, while the latter, after drinking a jar of wine, still seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

Even though the injuries on his body had healed considerably, he couldn't help but open three more jars of wine and pour them into his mouth.

Then, he finally reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the remaining wine jars and turned it back to Lu Jing.

And this time, he finally didn't make Lu Jing wait any longer.

He arched his body and pounced!

Lu Jing stood still, and only when Little Aku Man rushed in front of him did he throw a punch, aiming for Little Aku Man's stomach.

The punch sent the latter staggering back seven steps, a large dent appearing in his abdomen, and that wasn't the end of it.

Lu Jing used about fifty percent of his internal force in this punch, and Little Aku Man didn't know any martial arts, so naturally, he had no protective qi.

In other words, many of the organs inside his body were directly shattered by Lu Jing's punch.

This was evident from the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

However, despite suffering such terrifying internal injuries, Little Aku Man still didn't fall down, and after a slight pause, he charged up again.

This time, however, Lu Jing didn't punch again, but instead targeted Little Aku Man's acupoints.

Little Aku Man's movements immediately froze, leaving only a pair of eyeballs darting around.

Lu Jing turned to Tuole and said, "Do you have any other tricks? Use them all, or you might not have the chance."

Tuole replied, "You've gotten yourself into trouble."

"Both you and your apprentice are already under my control. Do you call that me getting into trouble?"

"Your trouble lies precisely in controlling him," Tuole said, "because what he hates most is being disturbed while eating."

Before Tuole could finish speaking, Lu Jing saw another look of pain appear on Little Aku Man's face.

At the same time, his head began to swell.

First, two large bumps appeared on his forehead, and soon, two horns emerged from under those bumps.

Lu Jing found the pair of horns somewhat familiar, and then he realized that they were the patterns on Qi Wenren and Tong Qianxi's bodies.

However, Lu Jing's main attention was not on the pair of horns at the moment, but on Aku Man's abdomen, where something seemed to be wriggling under his clothes.

Lu Jing grasped another flying sword and picked open the single layer of clothing on Little Aku Man's body.

What met his eyes was actually another face!

Although this face looked about the same age as the face on Little Aku Man's head, it was clearly different.

The expression on the face below was obviously much more greedy.

The way it looked at Lu Jing was not like observing an opponent at all, but more like choosing dishes on a dining table.

Lu Jing didn't hesitate and slashed at that face with his sword.

But the next moment, Little Aku Man, who was clearly unable to move because his acupoints had been sealed, suddenly leaped backward nimbly and dodged the sword.

Then, instead of running away, he launched a counterattack, pouncing on Lu Jing's left leg.

However, at this moment, he used an acrobatic movement that most people couldn't do, bending his waist backward, a full 180 degrees, barely dodging this dangerous kick.

Lu Jing had only seen Master Hong'er use this move before, because she had practiced the Sith Bone Contraction Technique to the extreme, and there were hardly any bones in her body that couldn't be moved.

But Little Aku Man had never learned any bone contraction technique, and Lu Jing didn't know how he did it.

However, he was now much more agile than before.

Through a series of dazzling twists and turns, Lu Jing's subsequent attacks also failed, proving that he wasn't just guessing just now.

It was just that his posture was becoming less and less human, with his limbs on the ground, more like some kind of animal.

So Lu Jing simply used the little beast-controlling trick that Ye Gongmei taught him, luring the opponent to pounce again. He first turned halfway to avoid Little Aku Man's pounce.

Then, he reached out and grabbed the horns on Little Aku Man's head, and then jumped onto Little Aku Man's back.

Little Aku Man immediately struggled frantically, but Lu Jing's legs firmly clamped him.

Seeing this, the face on Little Aku Man's abdomen wanted to take the opportunity to bite Lu Jing, and his fate was also conceivable. After a bite, Lu Jing was fine, but his own mouth went numb first, and he didn't recover for a long time.

On the other hand, Lu Jing once again subdued Little Aku Man, pressing his body firmly to the ground.

Lu Jing said to Tuole, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me what I can do to get my companions back to normal."

Tuole just continued to sneer, "You asked the wrong person."

As soon as he finished saying the last word, he found that his head had flown up, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. But now it was too late for him to regret it.

He didn't expect Lu Jing to be so decisive, saying it was the last time, and indeed only left him one chance to speak.

In the end, as Tuole wasted this last chance, his head rolled down from his neck, and the horror in his eyes solidified.

Lu Jing originally spared Tuole's life just to be able to ask him how to prevent Qi Wenren from overeating. Since he didn't cooperate, then Lu Jing naturally had no reason to let him live and continue to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Moreover, Lu Jing now suspected that Tuole probably didn't know what to do at all.

Just as Lu Jing solved Tuole with a sword, Little Aku Man on the ground also saw Tuole's bloody head, and he let out a wail.

"Teacher!"

His eyes were full of sadness, which surprised Lu Jing somewhat.

Because Little Aku Man's current state clearly showed that his body had been taken over by a strange object. Logically speaking, the strange object should be controlling this body now, and Tuole's death shouldn't have touched it.

Lu Jing also recalled the situation when Little Aku Man first appeared. Although Little Aku Man kept shouting that he wanted to eat him, judging from his conversation with Tuole, his sanity still seemed to be relatively clear.

What's going on? Lu Jing couldn't help but feel strange.

He had seen several cases of being possessed by strange objects before, and Jie Liancheng could be considered to have disguised himself relatively well, but Lu Jing now recalled that when Jie Liancheng spoke, the signs were already quite obvious.

It was just that he didn't have much experience the first time, and he didn't think about it in that direction.

Could it be that what he has to deal with this time is still a strange object? But Tuole and his apprentice don't seem to know Mr. Ji.
