The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#387 - Win-win strategy

The incident happened suddenly, and many people didn't react in time, but when they realized what had happened, everyone's heart immediately sank.

Only one thought remained in their minds: it's over!

They had fought against Lu Jing for so long that no one knew the terror of this opponent better than them, so naturally, they wouldn't be naive enough to think that with Lu Jing's skills, he wouldn't seize this fatal flaw.

And when that time came, the cruel fate of being defeated one by one awaited them; thinking of this, many people's faces turned pale.

However, what they didn't expect was that luck would actually favor them this time!

Perhaps it was because they had been fighting for too long and had exhausted too much energy, but Lu Jing was stunned when facing that flaw and didn't strike immediately.

And it was this brief moment of hesitation that gave the person who had just made a mistake a chance to make amends, desperately urging his lightness skill to rush up and fill the previous gap.

"Damn it!" Qing Lan, who was watching the battle upstairs, blurted out. If it weren't for the people from Tianlong Sect still downstairs, she would have jumped directly onto the painted boat to help Lu Jing.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yu, an ordinary person, naturally couldn't see these details in the battle. Seeing Qing Lan's face change drastically, she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's a pity. There was just an opportunity to directly determine the outcome of this battle, but Lu Jing failed to seize it," Qing Lan said with a沉着 face, with a trace of disbelief still remaining in her eyes.

Hearing her say this, Xie Yu poked her head out and glanced out the window, saying, "Is it serious? But even if we missed that opportunity, wouldn't everyone just return to a balanced situation? And didn't you say that Lu Jing is still suppressing them?"

"It's not that simple," Qing Lan shook her head and sighed. After a pause, she explained to the woman listening to the zither and Xie Yu, "On the surface, it seems that Lu Jing just missed an opportunity, and as you said, he is still in the lead, but in reality, the situation has completely reversed."

Qing Lan's analysis was well-founded, and immediately made the woman listening to the zither and Xie Yu's hearts hang in their throats.

"Then what should we do?" Xie Yu asked, "Why don't you, Qing Lan, take action to help him?"

"It's useless," Qing Lan had already calmed down at this time. She knew very well that with her skills, even if she went down, she could only hold back one person at most, and it would not play a decisive role in the battle. It would be better to stay upstairs and continue to protect the woman listening to the zither.

As for Lu Jing, Qing Lan could only hope that he could win this battle with his own strength.

Looking at the confident look on that guy's face before, he shouldn't... fail, right?

And as if to confirm Qing Lan's words, the battle on the river soon became fierce.

Even ordinary people like Xie Yu and the woman listening to the zither could feel that the martial arts people on the boat were attacking more fiercely and aggressively.

Obviously, they could also think of what Qing Lan had thought of.

These guys were like a pack of cunning and ferocious hyenas, and after besieging for so long, they finally waited for their prey to show signs of fatigue.

As long as, as long as they persevere a little longer, they can win this battle!

This thought flashed through the minds of a group of martial arts experts, so they worked even harder.

And Lu Jing, who was also in high spirits, with his eyesight, how could he have missed the opportunity that was placed in front of him earlier, but at that moment, Lu Jing did hesitate.

Because it was less than half an hour before his internal energy was refreshed. In this situation, it was difficult for him to drink the Fallen into the Mortal World to consume the excess internal energy.

Therefore, when Lu Jing shouted upstairs to let everyone come up together, he wasn't just pretending, but really hoped that everyone would come up quickly and stop wasting time.

Seeing that the people below were still discussing who should go up first and how many should go up, Lu Jing was really anxious for them from the bottom of his heart, so he just found an excuse to jump down in a hurry.

Under the guise of fighting, he secretly and silently started the business of consuming internal energy.

Seeing that the other side planned to compete with him in consumption, it was exactly what Lu Jing wanted.

The two sides immediately hit it off like thunder and fire, and got mixed up together.

In fact, Lu Jing was initially fishing and playing fake punches, doing the work but not putting in the effort. Otherwise, with his current fourth-level cultivation of the Fire Kirin Armor, directly carrying the blunt weapons and outputting a wave, everyone on the boat would have to lie down soon.

But in this way, Lu Jing's excess internal energy would have nowhere to vent, which would be a lose-lose situation.

The same principle applies to that moment just now. If Lu Jing really swept over with a stick and knocked everyone down, then the internal energy on these people would be wasted in vain.

Lu Jing had just started to feel it, so naturally he was reluctant to do so.

Therefore, after hesitating, he finally chose to release water, and the other side quickly returned the favor and increased the output, which was also an unexpected surprise for Lu Jing.

However, the group of martial arts people who were his opponents now had a hard time being happy.

It was clear that Lu Jing looked like he was about to reach his limit, but after several rounds of fighting, he was still alive and kicking. On the other hand, they were becoming more and more overwhelmed, and the internal energy in their dantian had begun to show signs of exhaustion.

What supported them until now was nothing more than the belief that they were more tired than Lu Jing.

But belief cannot make their internal energy increase out of thin air. The moment when the oil runs out will still come when the oil runs out.

Soon someone couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed, panting heavily.

It was clear that he hadn't been injured much, but his internal energy was exhausted first, which was also a rare situation for ordinary martial arts experts.

And with the first person, there would be a second person.

But the good news was that the expected complete collapse still didn't happen. Lu Jing didn't seem to see the two big and dazzling holes in the encirclement, and was still playing the small game of responding to every move with others in a methodical manner.

And this was precisely the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Because at this moment, a group of Jianghu experts finally understood, and then experienced the same mood as Qing Lan.

Each of them prided themselves on being extremely smart, thinking that they had found a way to defeat the enemy, but it turned out that they were just being played like monkeys by the person in front of them.
