Chapter 279: Poison in the Wine
Translator: NinetalesEditor: DarkGem
After a moment, the great shaman that went to warm the wine came back. The other great shaman swirled the wine, and when it was clear, he poured a bowl and placed it respectfully in front of Qin Mu.
”Is it poisoned?” Qin Mu asked with a pleasant expression.
The two great shamans from Rolan's Golden Palace immediately said, ”We don't dare!”
Qin Mu laughed out loud. ”I'm a divine physician who has learned from Jade Face Poison King. If you guys try to play poison in front of me, that would be quite a joke.”
The two great shamans laughed with him.
Qin Mu's expression sunk and pointed at the great shaman who had warmed the wine. ”Drink it.”
The expression of that great shaman changed drastically, and he started trembling. Qin Mu's face turned even darker, and he repeated coldly, ”Drink it!”
The corners of the great shaman's eyes twitched as he picked up the wine bowl with trembling hands to drink two mouthfuls. He smiled. ”No poison…”
As he said this, his body trembled and shriveled up like a deflated balloon. He became thinner and thinner until only his skin was left. Covering the skin was his clothes and there seemed to be things wiggling in them. A bunch of insects chewed through his skin and flooded out, crawling in all directions. They then incinerated and turned into ashes.
The face of the other great shaman turned ashen.
Without a change in expression, Qin Mu rapped the table. ”Serve me another bowl.”
The great shaman serving the wine had a tearful expression as he said, ”There's poison in the wine…”
”Can't poison me,” Qin Mu said indifferently. ”Continue serving the wine. Where are the dancers? Call them, songs and dances liven up the mood.”
The great shaman immediately poured a bowl of wine and summoned the dancers, continuing with the dance and music.
Qin Mu ate the dishes and drank the wine as he enjoyed the songs and dances, clapping when he was entertained. This banquet lasted for quite a long time and. The sun was hanging late in the west when he waved his hand and made the singers and dancers fall back.
The wine was highly toxic and contained a kind of shamanic poison. It had venomous insects that specialized in eating souls and corporeal bodies. However, Qin Mu was still fine after drinking nearly the entire jar of wine.
”Such a disappointment.”
Qin Mu rose, leaving the table in a mess. All the food and wine had been eaten and drunk by him, and it was more than even a dozen lords would have been able to eat. However, he didn't seem full as all the wine and food had been dissolved by Spirit Returning Pill Great Supplement Technique.
”You've lived through so many lifetimes, eleven thousand years. What a pity that you never took your own path, always liking the path of others, jumping from one to another. After jumping here and there, you obliterated your own acute spirit.”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”I waited so long for you yet you still don't dare to show up. What a joke. I thought you would be my opponent, but I didn't count that the older you get, the more cowardly you get. After I took the upper hand, you didn't dare to pick another fight with me again.”
The great shaman from Rolan's Golden Palace was unable to make heads or tails of what he was saying, not knowing who he was talking to.
”What's the need for dreams when one doesn't dare to struggle?” Qin Mu walked outside and chuckled. ”It's better for you to just go home. That's right, since it's your treat, foot the bill before leaving.”
He walked out of Jade Fragrance Floor and left.
In Green Bamboo Garden, the great shaman was befuddled and waved his hand to dismiss the singers and dancers. After a moment, Pangong Tso walked out from the shadows with a gloomy face while stained in blood.
”The sword skills of Human Emperor…” he said in a low voice. ”Those were actually the sword skills of Human Emperor! Even though it could have been a deception, I don't think I saw it wrong. What that junior used were the sword skills of that Human Emperor which were fused with Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's sword skills, as well as Rulai's Mahayana Sutra combined with Nine Dragons Monarch Technique of Ling Family. He had combined all these techniques…”
Qin Mu had fused so many techniques and divine arts together—and they were all top notch techniques and divine arts—so Pangong Tso's Dao Sword had been countered when they exchanged moves, messing up his mind and plans.
Therefore, he no longer dared to fight head-on with Qin Mu.
He didn't know how many moves of the human emperor's sword skills he had learned.
The human emperor of the previous generation was an extremely strong practitioner, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
In the previous generation, many incidents happened and there were many figures that were close to gods walking around in the world. He was one of them. Heaven Knife was also one of them. Other than them, they were numerous other glorious figures, but none of them were as dazzling.
Human Emperor was the most dazzling star in the previous generation.
Other than him, Pangong Tso had seen another human emperor, one of the generation prior to that man's. It was some eight hundred years back.
The human emperors had appeared in his long life again and again, and every one of them was abnormally dazzling, overshadowing his radiance. Various human emperors could be traced even all the way back to his first lifetime and even before that. There were human emperors walking in the world since a very long time ago!
