The old man's mouth had already curved into a smile when he saw Lu Jing sheathe his sword, but it froze there again. He shouted in exasperation, "Attack together, kill them!"

With his words, more than a hundred people in the gambling house rushed towards Lu Jing and Xie Lili!

Xie Lili was startled.

She didn't know how Lu Jing planned to deal with the current predicament. At this moment, the two of them were still some distance away from the old man, and there was no way to capture him immediately and make the rest of the people afraid to act rashly.

And the only hostage she had, the young scholar, was knocked unconscious by Lu Jing and casually tossed aside on the ground.

Seeing the people around her rushing up, Xie Lili looked up at Lu Jing's expression, but she didn't see a trace of panic on his face.

Even so, Xie Lili was still quite uneasy. She asked Lu Jing, "What do we do?"

"Just fight," Lu Jing said, while putting away the flying sword.

"… … … …"

Xie Lili didn't expect Lu Jing to be so reckless. Their opponents weren't ordinary people, but a group of strange beings. Even if there were people like the young scholar who weren't good at fighting, they couldn't withstand over a hundred different abilities being thrown at them.

Just as Xie Lili was thinking this, she saw the first one to rush up, a burly man who looked like a martial artist, being punched to the ground by Lu Jing.

He didn't even have a chance to use his ability.

Was he lucky, or were the opponents too stupid?

Xie Lili couldn't believe her eyes, but she guessed that after the martial artist's example, the others would definitely use their abilities first.

However, just as she was thinking this, the second man who rushed up, a skinny man like a monkey, was also knocked out by Lu Jing with one punch.

Xie Lili was speechless.

How confident was this guy in his skills, thinking he could defeat the top experts on the Tianji List with just his body?

It turned out that the previous two weren't the only ones confident in their martial arts. Subsequently, four more people rushed towards Lu Jing with their bare hands.

Without exception, they were all knocked down by Lu Jing with one punch.

This was still Lu Jing intentionally holding back. Otherwise, with his strength as a top expert, if he really hit them hard, he could probably send them to the afterlife on the spot.

At this moment, Lu Jing was like playing Dynasty Warriors. Clearly, the enemies were surging up like a tide, seemingly endless, but they were all rushing to give experience points. No one could withstand a single blow from Lu Jing.

Later on, Lu Jing didn't even bother with moves. He just swung his fists wildly, knocking people over left and right.

In a short while, he had already knocked down nearly half of the people in the gambling house, and this was still the result of him holding Xie Lili in one hand and only using the other hand to fight.

Xie Lili was already confused.

Was it that Lu Jing was too good at fighting, or… were this batch of strange beings not very good?

However, a constable is a constable. She quickly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out to the old man, whose face was becoming more and more unsightly,

"This is your ability. You can control others and make them obey your orders. So, the people in this gambling house, except for that scholar, are just ordinary people. They aren't strange beings at all. How dangerous… I was almost deceived by you."

Xie Lili slapped her thigh and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. With so many strange beings gathered together, Wuyang and the Sitian Jian couldn't have heard nothing. Moreover, for you, doing this is too risky. You could be wiped out in one fell swoop."

Xie Lili had now pieced together all the things that had happened before and pieced together the truth.

And the old man's face became even more unsightly.

But at this moment, the girl changed the subject and praised him, which was rare, "But you're quite amazing too. You knew you couldn't beat us, so you came up with this method to try to scare us directly. It's a pity you're too greedy… It's not enough to just scare us away. You also want me to stay as a hostage."

"But it's precisely because of your greed that you revealed your true colors. Indeed, sending a letter doesn't require two people, but under normal circumstances, when you have the upper hand, you should choose to leave him, who is obviously more important, instead of me, a trivial follower."

"That way, you would have more bargaining chips to negotiate with the Sitian Jian. But you're still afraid that he'll choose to fight to the death and really fight with you. Your bluff will no longer work."

Xie Lili finished speaking in one breath, feeling a sense of relief all over her body, as if she had eaten a ginseng fruit.

At the same time, she couldn't help but admire Lu Jing's adaptability and quick wit. This was one of the few times she had lost to someone else in reasoning.

But unexpectedly, Lu Jing said upon hearing this, "It's not that troublesome. I saw that those guys had dull eyes and similar expressions, so I knew they were being controlled."

"… … … …"

Okay, observation is also a very important skill for constables.

Just as the two were talking, Lu Jing solved another prostitute who rushed up. When he punched her in the chest, the people still standing in the gambling house suddenly shuddered.

Then, as if waking up from a dream, they exclaimed, "What, what am I doing? Why couldn't I control my body just now?"

"That person… The person you just hit is the strange object, no, no, that's not right…" Xie Lili quickly overturned her previous deduction, "That guy is tricking us again. How could he be so stupid as to rush up to be hit by you? Hmm, he's probably still among these people."

"This is easy to handle. I'll hand the rest of the people over to the Sitian Jian," Lu Jing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, a man dressed as a merchant with a big belly couldn't hold back the expression on his face and immediately turned to run out of the gambling house. However, no matter how fast he ran, how could he be faster than Lu Jing's fist?

He only managed to rush out two steps before taking a punch to the waist, flying out while vomiting blood, and collapsing on the ground, unable to stand up again.

Lu Jing first put Xie Lili down before slowly walking towards the man.

"Be careful he controls you," Xie Lili reminded.

"His ability must have conditions to activate, otherwise he would have attacked us long ago."

Although he said that, Lu Jing still used force in his punch just now, at least breaking four or five of the opponent's ribs, and the intense pain also prevented the man from concentrating his mind.
