The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#709 - Split into two

Along with that severed finger flew a spray of fresh blood!

However, in the next moment, something strange happened. The fresh blood gushed out from the break, but instead of falling to the ground, it all poured into the black blade.

Then, the black blade seemed to come alive, and the blade vibrated violently.

Fortunately, the young man surnamed Ruan reacted quickly enough to grip it tightly, preventing it from flying out of his hand!

“……”

The scene was somewhat awkward.

The young man surnamed Ruan stared at his severed finger on the ground. After a moment, he suddenly looked up, his face filled with disbelief. "You… you actually withstood the attack of the demonic blade with your physical body just now?!"

“It was two attacks,” Lu Jing kindly reminded him.

The young man surnamed Ruan's body shook violently. "What kind of protective divine skill have you cultivated?!"

“What kind of demonic blade have you refined?”

The young man surnamed Ruan was silent. After a long while, a hint of unwillingness appeared on his face. "The blood… it's still too little. If I really refine this blade, I don't believe you can still withstand it."

Although he had paid the price of a little finger just now, it had also confirmed that there was no problem with the blade in his hand, and according to that person's words, the blade had only just begun to be refined, having only absorbed the blood of fifty-odd villains.

As long as he continued to feed it, it would become stronger and stronger, and this strength had no upper limit.

By then, even if all the people of the demonic path were dead, he alone with his blade could kill all the righteous experts.

What Cloud Water Quiet Compassion Pavilion, what Hanging Temple, what Sword Washing Pavilion, even if逍遥逍遥 Mountain Manor joined forces, they would not be his match.

The young man surnamed Ruan was unwilling to fall in the darkness before dawn.

He said to Lu Jing, "As long as you let me go, I will tell you how to use this blade. Then we can take turns using it, ten days for each of us, how about it?"

“No need. Since you know my origins, you should know that even if you don't tell me, the place behind me has the ability to figure out how to use this blade.”

“I'm talking about me and you, not the people behind you.”

The young man surnamed Ruan was still making a final effort. "Even people like you and me are just pawns in the hands of those big shots. I know that Mister Ji told me the method of refining this blade, and he never had good intentions from the beginning.

“Just like the place behind you, they just want to use you to solve the troubles of the emperors under their rule, but we don't have to follow the path they planned.”

Lu Jing shook his head. "Don't put me and you together. I have serious business in the Si Tian Jian."

“What serious business? Perhaps… I can help you,” the young man surnamed Ruan said. "Although my martial arts are not as good as yours, you righteous people always have too many rules. I don't have those concerns. I can even help you bear the infamy you don't want to bear and become your shadow."

“Good idea, but I've already tried it just now. You can't help me.”

After Lu Jing finished speaking, he had already walked in front of the young man surnamed Ruan.

Seeing that the negotiation had failed and he couldn't persuade Lu Jing, the young man surnamed Ruan could only swing his blade again.

He slashed at Lu Jing from a distance while retreating rapidly.

However, behind him was the rock wall, and he couldn't retreat any further after taking two steps, unless he returned to the treasure vault, but since the demonic blade in his hand was useless against Lu Jing, Lu Jing would definitely follow him in this time, and the young man surnamed Ruan would still have no way to escape.

“Damn it! You forced me to do this!!!”

The young man surnamed Ruan was like a trapped beast. This time, he didn't swing the black blade at Lu Jing again, but instead, with a ruthless heart, he stabbed the blade into his own abdomen!

At this time, Lu Jing's fist also arrived, and his fist smashed the chest of the young man surnamed Ruan, causing it to collapse!

In a short breath, the young man surnamed Ruan suffered two heavy blows. Even if he was a first-class expert, he couldn't withstand such torment. Fresh blood spurted out immediately, and he was about to die.

But then his body shook violently again, and the demonic blade inserted into his abdomen gradually merged into his body.

The young man surnamed Ruan glared at Lu Jing and sneered, "Since you don't leave me a way out, then let's all die together!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a cold light flashed.

Then, his head was neatly divided into two from the middle and slid to both sides.

“Since you know where I come from, you should also know that I am still a cultivator.”

Lu Jing said leisurely, and after speaking, he reached out and pulled out the flying sword that had penetrated three inches into the rock wall.

After a pause, he added, "Besides, this isn't a TV series. There's no reason for me to wait for you to finish your ultimate move before taking action."

As the corpse of the young man surnamed Ruan fell, the black blade inserted into his abdomen no longer continued to sink into his body.

However, in such a short period of time, the blade seemed to have drunk a lot of blood again.

As a result, the complexion of the young man surnamed Ruan looked pale, just like white paper.

Lu Jing was not sure if there were any tricks on the demonic blade, so he took off the clothes of the young man surnamed Ruan, wrapped the hilt, and then carefully pulled out the blade.

Afterwards, Lu Jing tried to swing it a few times, but nothing happened.

Moreover, it was not known what material the black blade was made of. It was actually clean, without a drop of blood.

Lu Jing didn't look at it any longer, and just put the blade away.

After that, he drilled into the treasure vault in front of him.

It had to be said that the design of this treasure vault was quite decent. It was actually piled with dozens of boxes of gold ingots. Lu Jing roughly estimated that it felt like there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It was a pity that only the top was real gold ingots, and the bottom was padded with stones.

In addition, martial arts secret manuals were engraved on the stone wall.

Moreover, these martial arts secret manuals were actually real. Lu Jing glanced at them and found that it was a mental cultivation method, and he quickly moved his gaze away. Then, he used his flying sword to scratch off all those martial arts secret manuals.

It was better to destroy this demonic skill. If someone learned it, the martial world might give birth to one or two more demons in twenty years.

In addition to these things, Lu Jing also found about a hundred weapons of decent quality in the treasure vault, as well as a dozen sets of armor, which could just be taken back for Ge Ping and the others to use.

Of course, Lu Jing didn't forget the corpses on the ground.

Not to mention the silver and weapons that these guys were carrying, just their heads were worth a lot of money, and they were all demons that the Imperial City Division had been wanted for a long time.

Now, for Lu Jing, the only problem was how to transport this pile of things back.
