The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#142 - A knight from the ancient oriental country

Chapter 142: A Swordsman from the Ancient Eastern Kingdom

Lu Jing hadn't originally planned to go out so early.

He closed his eyes and circulated his inner force in reverse to the Tinggong and Ermen acupoints, once again maximizing his hearing ability, wanting to first find out the direction of movement of those iron-clad warriors.

Especially the direction of movement of that main force.

But he heard the neat, low footsteps coming towards the tailor shop.

In that instant, many possibilities flashed through Lu Jing's mind, but no matter the possibility, he could no longer stay in the house.

That's why he told the female shopkeeper to close the door tightly.

After that, without time to explain, Lu Jing had already rushed out the door.

He just didn't know how these iron-clad warriors had targeted him, whether it was under the instructions of the Vulture, or because he had killed their companions before.

But thinking about it now was meaningless.

Anyway, Lu Jing was also preparing to take the black stones from these iron-clad warriors, and since these iron-clad warriors had targeted him, it saved him the trouble of finding them.

Lu Jing deliberately slowed down a bit. He had fought these iron-clad warriors before, and knew that their mobility was good, especially considering the two-hundred-plus pounds of armor they wore, their movements were already surprisingly fast!

But even running, they still couldn't catch up with Lu Jing, who had mastered lightness skill.

In order to figure out their movement patterns, Lu Jing tried to keep them at a certain distance, and then began to lead them in circles around the city.

At the same time, using the terrain of the city, he tried to gradually divide them.

After running for a while, Lu Jing found that the intelligence level of these iron-clad warriors was very limited, and they should not have any thinking ability.

Their behavior patterns always followed a certain pattern, like NPCs with pre-written programs.

Although the leading commander also understood some military tactics, trying to divide into small teams to outflank, little did he know that this approach was exactly what Lu Jing wanted.

After discovering that a small team in the northeast direction had fallen behind, Lu Jing no longer cared about the main force behind him, and directly sped up to completely shake them off.

Then he circled half a circle in the city and went to find the three-man team.

Without saying a word, he directly rushed up with his Zen staff and continued to open the cans!

After a stick of incense's time, when the iron-clad warrior army arrived here, only a pile of armor wreckage was left on the ground.

And Lu Jing had already left one step ahead and continued to search for the next target.

… … … …

Now, quite a bit of time had passed since Lu Jing suddenly left.

The sandstorm outside the door continued, and the female shopkeeper and the shop assistant continued to squat in the corner of the tailor shop, thinking wildly.

After witnessing Lu Jing's skills, they originally thought that their safety was finally guaranteed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the sandstorm started, this thigh stood up and ran away.

So the two of them could only continue to be frightened, worried that iron-clad warriors would break into the door while Lu Jing was away and kill them.

But after waiting for a while, the female shopkeeper noticed something unusual.

In the past, at this time, those things in the sandstorm had already arrived outside the tailor shop and began to peer inside through the cracks in the doors and windows.

However, this time, the terrible rubbing sound had not appeared for a long time.

The reason for this situation was probably because someone had diverted their attention.

So Nada couldn't help but start worrying about Lu Jing again.

After all, Lu Jing was only one person no matter how powerful he was,

Moreover, since coming to Marashal Khan, the female shopkeeper had never seen him rest, either fighting or practicing hard, and also helping to investigate the cause of this disaster.

Even a man of iron would probably be exhausted.

Seeing him taking a nap on the stool earlier, it was obvious that he was too tired.

But now, in order to protect the people in the city, he dragged his severely overdrawn body and resolutely rushed into the sandstorm.

Thinking that Lu Jing's last words before leaving were still to let her close the door, Nada didn't quite understand why Lu Jing said that at the time.

Now, she understood everything in an instant.

At that time, Lu Jing was probably already feeling that he might not be able to come back!

So, not only did he not make any agreement with her about the opening code, but he also told her to be sure to close the door.

Thinking of this, Nada's eyes turned red.

She was not a Chen Dynasty person. She grew up in Marashal Khan and had never left this desert city. However, she had heard many stories about the Chen Dynasty from her mother when she was a child.

She knew that in that distant and vast Eastern Empire, there was a group of people called swordsmen. They were highly skilled in martial arts, but they would never bully the weak. They always helped those who were weaker than themselves, but they did not seek any reward, and even risked their lives.

Nada had previously been skeptical about those stories, but until she met Lu Jing, she believed that there were really people in this world who were eager to help others and disregarded their own lives.

So, when the wind and sand outside began to weaken, Nada directly picked up a lantern and rushed out the door.

As one of the few people who had seen the true faces of those things in the sandstorm, she knew how powerful and dangerous those iron-clad warriors were.

However, at this moment, she had put this danger behind her. There was only one thought in her mind, which was to find Lu Jing as soon as possible.

He must be okay!

Nada silently recited in her heart, biting her lip tightly.

… … … …

On the other side, Lu Jing was now counting his gains.

He had fought a total of nine iron-clad warriors, but in the middle, he accidentally ran into another team that came to intercept him. For safety's sake, he had to give up two iron-clad warriors that he was about to smash open.

In the end, he only got seven black stones.

Lu Jing was quite satisfied with this result.

This meant that not only did he have the amount of usage before his dantian refreshed next time, but he had also collected enough for tomorrow's usage. Then, Lu Jing checked his inner force consumption.

He found that there was now less than a quarter of true energy left in his dantian.

Unfortunately, his Ren and Du meridians were once again running at full power, constantly producing new inner force to make up for the previous consumption.

Lu Jing estimated that in another hour and a half, his dantian would be filled with inner force again.

This was too outrageous.

Lu Jing felt that even the Oppo phone that could charge for five minutes and talk for two hours was not as outrageous as his dantian.

However, his inner force recovery speed was quite suitable for dealing with the current continuous high-intensity combat, and the more times he fought those iron-clad warriors, the more he gradually figured out the tricks to deal with them.

Unlike ordinary humans, these iron-clad warriors have almost no fatal weaknesses, and there is quicksand under their armor.

Lu Jing initially relied on dismantling the armor on their bodies to deal with them, but now he has found a faster way, which is to directly destroy the piece of armor covering the black stone.

In this way, those iron-clad warriors will no longer move.

Thanks to Copernium, Mr. Zhang Zhang and other students for the reward~
