The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#721 - Still gambling?

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Jing reached out towards the giant snake's head, all the while secretly holding the flying sword in his sleeve, planning to give the opponent a surprise.

However, Lu Jing didn't expect that the surprise he was sending hadn't been received by the giant snake yet, but the surprise the latter had prepared for him had already arrived!

He was only about six feet away from that head.

Yet, Lu Jing saw a hint of cunning in those scarlet eyes.

Not good!

Just as Lu Jing felt something was wrong, he felt something suddenly attack from behind!

Lu Jing only had time to turn his head when he saw a tail slamming down on him.

The next moment, he flew out like a cannonball! He was directly smashed into the silt at the bottom of the riverbed.

The giant snake, succeeding in its attack, shook its tail triumphantly again before leisurely swimming towards where Lu Jing had fallen.

At this time, the river water there had become completely turbid.

The giant snake stuck its head out, looking towards the muddy riverbed.

And then, a pain shot through its head!

A small sword was stuck in the wound on the top of its head! The blade was completely submerged in its flesh, leaving only the hilt outside.

Pain, this time it was real pain!

If it had tear glands, tears would already be flowing like a spring.

Besides the pain, it also couldn't understand why the person in front of it could stab out with this sword.

It knew better than anyone how terrifying its own power was.

That tail sweep just now, even in the water, had considerable force.

To put it into perspective, it was roughly equivalent to being rammed by ten wild bulls running at full speed. An ordinary person would have all the bones in their body shattered by this blow.

But not only were Lu Jing's bones not broken, but he even looked alive and kicking.

Seeing that one sword had failed to kill the giant snake, Lu Jing quickly followed up with a second sword.

Unfortunately, this time the giant snake was prepared. It lowered its head, dodging the sword in time. Mountain Fire pierced into the scales, but failed to penetrate them, instead getting stuck inside.

The giant snake also breathed a sigh of relief, enduring the severe pain in its head, and pounced again.

The man and the snake then wrestled together.

After several exchanges, Lu Jing had gradually figured out the giant snake's strength. In terms of strength alone, this snake was clearly not as good as its old acquaintance in the academy.

If they were on land, Lu Jing would have many ways to deal with it.

Fighting until now, the giant snake had already given Lu Jing several tail whips, and each time was stronger than the last, so much so that it felt pain itself. But Lu Jing could always get up from the ground again.

Without much rest, he could turn around and fight again.

Thus, the man and the snake fell into a stalemate, neither able to do anything to the other.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes at the bottom of the river.

Lu Jing calculated the remaining time of the Water Avoidance Spell. With his internal energy cultivation, holding his breath wasn't difficult, so even if the Water Avoidance Spell disappeared, he wouldn't drown for a while. But his speed in the water would become even slower, making it even more difficult to catch up with the giant snake.

So, dragging on like this wasn't a good thing for Lu Jing.

Just as Lu Jing was thinking about a solution, he didn't expect that the giant snake would be the first to make a change. He saw it suddenly retract its tail and stick its head out again, trying to bite Lu Jing with its teeth.

This also exposed the wound on its head to Lu Jing again.

Presumably, it felt that Lu Jing had already thrown out both flying swords, and now had no means to hurt it, so the giant snake was so fearless.

However, reality was cruel. With a sharp pain, another flying sword appeared on its skull.

And Lu Jing also understood why the opponent suddenly rushed for time.

Because he saw Xia Huai also jump into the water and was swimming towards this side.

Obviously, the girl had plugged the hole in the bottom of the boat, so she came to help.

Two against one, Lu Jing instantly became energetic, while the giant snake now clearly seemed a little hesitant.

It couldn't even deal with the man in front of it one-on-one, and with another person added, its chances of winning were even less, so it also had the intention of retreating.

But at this time, the man on the opposite side took the initiative to entangle it.

How could Lu Jing let this giant snake escape? It was Mr. Ji's person, so be it, but the key was that it had three flying swords stuck in its head! If it ran away, Lu Jing would suffer a heavy loss.

So, someone directly grabbed a scale and wouldn't let go no matter what.

The giant snake entangled with Lu Jing for a while, and seeing that it couldn't get rid of this sticky candy, it also panicked a bit and had to show its teeth again.

Thinking to itself, damn it, three swords have been stuck in my head, there can't possibly be any more swords on that guy's body!

As a result, it happily received another flying sword on its skull.

"… … … …"

"… … … … … …"

The giant snake and Lu Jing looked at each other, both sides feeling a little numb.

The giant snake admitted that it had gambled, but to lose every hand, the game experience was too damn bad. Lu Jing, on the other hand, felt that this thing's head was empty, how could it not die after being stabbed with four swords?

Fortunately, at this time, his powerful reinforcements had finally arrived.

Xia Huai gave Lu Jing a hand gesture, and then pinched a magic seal.

The giant snake felt something was wrong, so it abandoned Lu Jing and whipped its tail at Xia Huai again.

Thinking that it was impossible for both of them to be so tough.

This time it didn't gamble wrong, but Lu Jing wouldn't sit idly by and watch it attack Xia Huai. Seeing this, he let go of the scales in his hand and took the initiative to meet it.

He was hit in the chest, and once again flew out like a torpedo.

The giant snake was overjoyed, thinking that it could finally escape.

But before it could slip away, it saw Xia Huai point out a finger, and then the water around it suddenly turned into a chain, locking its head.

The giant snake felt that this scene was a bit familiar, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in its heart.

Sure enough, turning its head, it saw that persistent guy killing over again.

Could it be that this bastard still has a flying sword on him?!

As the fifth sword was also inserted into its head, the giant snake knew that it had guessed correctly again.

And it was completely frightened, no longer intending to fight, with only the thought of escaping left in its head.

But how could Lu Jing let it go again?

Lu Jing used all his strength for this sword, even inserting the hilt into the flesh, and because he was worried that the damage wasn't enough, he stirred it around twice inside.

As a result, the giant snake didn't escape two steps before it started rolling on the ground, and slammed its head hard on the ground.

However, not only did Lu Jing not drive it away, but the other swords were also pierced deeper.

Finally, after twitching for a while, the giant snake completely stopped moving.
