The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#178 - Mandrill Hundred Soldiers

Wang Datong successfully lured the monkey and turned to run, displaying the sinister cunning of a hidden weapon expert to the fullest.

Unfortunately, although his lightness skill was excellent, he still couldn't outrun the mountain魈 (xiāo - a type of mountain demon) behind him, especially one that was enraged.

Fortunately, Lu Jing didn't just stand by and watch this human-monkey race.

Seeing that the large spear was about to poke Wang Datong's butt, a Zen staff preemptively blocked the spear.

The mountain魈 was in a fit of anger, and when it saw someone blocking its path, it immediately bared its teeth at Lu Jing.

Then, with a flick of its wrist, it not only pulled the spear out from under the Zen staff, but also twirled it into a flurry of spear flowers.

For a moment, the sky was filled with spear shadows.

Making it impossible to see where the cold gleam was hidden.

"Hey, isn't that Brother Yang's Dragon-Tiger Overlord Spear Technique?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Tao on the side was also dumbfounded. It was bad enough to be beaten by a monkey, but even his family's spear technique had been stolen by the monkey. The most infuriating thing was that the monkey wielded it even better than him.

Yang Tao almost exploded with anger.

And the others, seeing the mountain魈's fierce momentum, couldn't help but worry for Lu Jing.

But Lu Jing was still unhurried.

Regardless of which of the spear flowers was real and which was fake, he simply wielded his Zen staff to protect his body, and then took the initiative to crash into the spear formation.

The iron spear collided with the Zen staff, emitting a series of clanging sounds!

The final reverberations all blended together, causing the eardrums of everyone present to ache.

This showed how terrifying the force of their confrontation was.

It widened the distance between itself and Lu Jing, then opened its mouth and actually spat out a nine-section whip.

"Ah, that's my Purple-Gold Nine-Section Whip!" Wang Datong exclaimed excitedly the moment he saw the whip.

However, he quickly realized something, and his expression froze.

Then, the mountain魈 threw away the iron spear in its hand, and then changed its previous fierce momentum. Its shoulders, neck, elbows, and knees moved together, using its Purple-Gold Nine-Section Whip to draw circles in the air.

The whip head resembled a snake's head, coiled and poised, ready to bite anyone at any moment.

This was the starting stance of the Thunderbolt Hall's Soul-Reaping Whip - Green Snake Extends its Tongue!

So Wang Datong was now deeply feeling Yang Tao's pain from earlier.

The Soul-Reaping Whip was clearly also a secret technique of the Thunderbolt Hall, yet it had been stolen by the monkey in front of him, and it seemed to be wielding it even better than him. Where could he go to complain?

And the mountain魈 revealed the Purple-Gold Nine-Section Whip, obviously intending to use this weapon, which emphasized flexibility and change, to cope with Lu Jing's superior strength.

However, although its plan was good, how could the Frenzied Demon's One Hundred and Eight Staffs at the Great Accomplishment realm be so easily broken?

Lu Jing responded to all changes with constancy, and after less than five moves, the mountain魈 was once again firmly suppressed by him.

So the mountain魈 found an opportunity to escape again, swallowed the Purple-Gold Nine-Section Whip, and spat out a pair of Son-Wu Mandarin Duck Axes.

And when the Son-Wu Mandarin Duck Axes were also defeated, it revealed a Jade Knife.

However, seeing this, everyone finally saw a clue. This monkey was extraordinary, and its stomach was like a bottomless pit, not knowing how many weapons it contained.

But the moves for each weapon were always the same few moves, all of which had been used when they had fought it earlier.

Obviously, this monkey hadn't really stolen their martial arts, it was just relying on its super imitation ability to imitate a likeness to scare people.

Thinking of this, everyone's hanging hearts finally relaxed.

After all, they were more worried about the leakage of their sect's martial arts than having their weapons stolen.

And seeing that no matter how the monkey changed its moves, it couldn't do anything to Lu Jing, they felt that their weapons would soon be returned.

However, on the other hand, watching Lu Jing easily suppress the monkey with a staff, their current mood was a bit complicated.

After all, the monkey was now holding their weapons and imitating their moves.

If the monkey was defeated so quickly, wouldn't that also mean that they would be defeated so quickly if they encountered Lu Jing?

No, their martial arts were not as good as the monkey's, they would probably be defeated even faster.

So this is the strength of a top-tier expert on the Heavenly Pivot Ranking?

When Wang Datong made his move earlier, some people cheered loudly, but now that it was Lu Jing's turn, it was silent behind him.

Everyone had different thoughts. Those as fearless as Yang Tao watched with fascination, only thinking about when they would be able to cultivate to this realm.

And some people were deeply frustrated.

They felt that they were also part of the younger generation, but Lu Jing and Yan Yun had already entered the top tier before they were twenty years old, while they still didn't know when they would be able to enter the second tier. They didn't know what they had been practicing martial arts for the past ten years.

Admiration, jealousy, awe, envy, doubt... various emotions abounded, but regardless of their thoughts, the crowd was somewhat lost for a moment.

And Lu Jing had already figured out the mountain魈's skills.

So next time, he no longer held back. He suddenly used the lightness skill of Surging Waves, leaping behind the mountain魈 and blocking its path back to the forest dyed in layers of color.

Then, with a move of Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, he sealed off the mountain魈's dodging space, forcing the mountain魈 to take his next move of Lay Down the Butcher Knife, using ten percent of his strength.

With a loud bang!

Although the mountain魈 barely blocked the Zen staff with its double maces, it couldn't block the huge force coming from the Zen staff.

For a moment, the monkey's body trembled, and its hands couldn't help but shake.

It looked like a drummer playing a drum set.

The scene was quite rock and roll for a moment.

Lu Jing didn't give it a chance to breathe, and the next staff was already falling again, but then he saw the mountain魈 open its mouth again and spit something out at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing instinctively blocked it.

Looking down again, he saw that the mountain魈 had burrowed into the ground and disappeared like Earth Traveler Sun.

And the others were all dumbfounded.

It can use earth escape if it can't win? This monkey is too cheating! How are we supposed to get revenge?

Lu Jing was also a little helpless about this, but there was no way, who told it to be a monster, which couldn't be judged by common sense. This was also his first time fighting it, and he lacked information.

Fortunately, this battle was not without gains. Lu Jing looked at the thing he had blocked and asked, "Whose weapon is this?"

But he paused halfway through his words, because Lu Jing found that the last thing the mountain魈 spat out was also a Zen staff.
