Chapter 29, Five Poison Child – Died!
Master Xinmei suddenly stood up and said urgently, "Esteemed benefactors, quickly protect your heart meridians with your true energy, or it will be too late."
In fact, it's already too late.
Tian Qi and Gongsun Moyun suddenly convulsed a few times and then fell silently to the ground.
Both of their faces were distorted, with their eyes, noses, and mouths squeezed together, making them look extremely bizarre and terrifying.
Mr. Iron Flute looked terrified and said in a trembling voice, "What kind of poison is this? How could it be so terrifying?"
At this moment, the waiter came out carrying two more plates of food.
Master Xinmei darted forward, grabbed the waiter like a chick, and shouted angrily, "What poison did you put in the food?"
"Snapped!"
The waiter was so frightened that he trembled and dropped the tray he was holding to the ground.
"Master...Master, I...I don't know anything..."
Li Xunhuan sighed, "If I were the one who poisoned them, I would have run away long ago. Why would I stay here?"
Upon hearing this, Master Xinmei finally released the waiter and strode towards the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the kitchen, they discovered that the chef had also died from poisoning, in the same manner as Tian Qi and Gongsun Moyun.
At this moment, Li Xunhuan and Mr. Tiedi also came in. After a careful inspection, they finally found the source of the poison in the oil.
It was a bright red centipede.
Even though it was soaked in oil, the centipede was still alive and wriggling.
Master Xinmei angrily demanded, "Who poisoned me?"
Li Xunhuan replied, "There are generally two types of poisons in the world: plant poisons and snake and insect poisons. The one who can kill people with snakes and insects invisibly is probably that person from Miao territory."
Mr. Iron Flute was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be the Five Poison Child, the master of the Blissful Cave in Miao territory?"
Master Xinmei frowned and said, "Wasn't he always in Miao territory? How did he end up in the Central Plains?"
Li Xunhuan said, "He should have come to the Central Plains long ago."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Tiedi exclaimed in surprise, "I remember now, when Li Tanhua first entered the pass, didn't he kill the Four Children of Bliss Cave?"
"I guess so!"
Although Li Xunhuan did not kill the Four Children of Blissful Cave, he knew they were after him. Even if Gu Yu and A Fei hadn't killed them, he would have still made a move.
Master Xinmei's heart sank.
Even he felt a sense of dread when he heard the name "Five Poison Boys".
The Five Poison Boy is the master of the Blissful Cave in Miao territory and the adopted son of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva.
The Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva is known as the "Number One Female Master in the World." She is as fat as a mountain of flesh and can chew up even steel weapons.
Conversely, the Five Poison Boys are short in stature, resembling children.
His methods were ruthless, and he was adept at using all kinds of poisons in the world. He was especially skilled at manipulating snakes and insects to kill people invisibly, making people tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name.
It is said that very few people have ever seen his true face. Even if they were face to face, they would only treat him as a child and would not be wary of him at all.
Mr. Iron Flute said in a trembling voice, "It is said that if the Five Poison Child is determined to kill someone, then he will kill them without hesitation, and nothing can make him give up halfway."
Master Xinmei softly chanted a Buddhist prayer and replied, "It seems we dare not eat anything along the way."
Mr. Iron Flute couldn't help but say, "Then let's not eat at the shop, but just pick a random stall along the way and buy some food. That should be fine, right?"
Li Xunhuan shook his head: "The reason why the Five Poison Child is so terrifying is that no one can guess when or where he will poison us. Even if we randomly pick a small stall, he can still poison us without us even noticing, killing us invisibly."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Flute couldn't help but shudder.
You can't blame him for being timid, because this kind of unseen opponent is the most terrifying.
However, the Five Poison Child is ultimately a human being, not a god.
Gu Yu walked slowly through a dense forest.
He came following the "daily intelligence," which said that the Five Poison Child was hiding in this forest.
Reaching an open space, Gu Yu stopped and said loudly, "Five Poison Child, didn't you want to avenge your disciples? Your four disciples are all disgustingly ugly, like a buyer's show review. I just gave them a bad review..."
"Don't understand? Basically, just slaughter them all, like slaughtering animals."
The forest was completely silent.
So calm and collected?
Okay, let's see how long you can hold out.
"Hehe, I remember now, the Five Poison Child is a born freak, covered in hair and with a long tail on his butt. Is your father a monkey?"
With such vicious words uttered, how could the Five Poison Child possibly hold back?
This kid is even more ruthless than me?
At the same time, he was also very curious as to how this kid had found his way here.
But none of that matters anymore, because the Five Poison Child is now furious.
"Boy, if I let you leave this forest alive today, I'll consider it an injustice."
Gu Yu laughed loudly: "Really? Hahaha, are you angry because I hit the nail on the head? Is your dad really a monkey?"
The response to Gu Yu was a low, mournful flute sound.
As the flute music played, a dense rustling sound filled the forest, like a sudden downpour.
Soon, large and small poisonous insects appeared all around, their shapes strange, like snakes, scorpions, and centipedes.
This is the unique skill of the Five Poison Boy, the "Paradise Insect" he carefully cultivated. It is said to be made by fusing seven rare poisons, and its toxicity far surpasses that of ordinary poisons.
A strong, fishy stench permeated the forest, causing Gu Yu's heart to churn and almost making him vomit.
Fortunately, the Nine Yang Divine Skill activated automatically, suppressing the poison gas.
The sinister voice of the Five Poison Boy echoed once more in the forest, elusive and unpredictable.
"Boy, today I will make sure you are not left with even a trace, and that my Bliss Worm will swallow you whole, skin and bones."
Gu Yu chuckled. "Your tone sounds exactly like a wronged woman. You think you can take me down with these little bugs? You're dreaming!"
"Heh heh heh, kid, you're too arrogant, you're simply courting death!"
The Five Poison Boy let out a strange laugh.
When people are successful, they are bound to become complacent.
At this moment, Gu Yu's face suddenly turned bright red, and his skin also turned bright red, as if his body was on fire.
His figure moved like lightning, leaping into the air and leaving a trail of afterimages before striking out with a powerful palm strike in mid-air.
A palm shadow appeared and disappeared, stirring up a gust of wind before vanishing into the dense foliage of a large tree.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, branches and leaves flew everywhere, and a small figure screamed as it tumbled and rolled to the ground.
It was none other than the Five Poison Child.
Just as the legends said, it was as short as a toddler, with short legs, a small head, and small eyes. Although it wasn't too ugly, it looked extremely ferocious.
"Pfft~"
Upon landing, the Five Poison Child coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face contorted with pain, shock, and disbelief.
Is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of his ecstasy?
The thought vanished in an instant, and the Five Poisons Child hastily picked up a bamboo flute and began to play.
Countless swarms of Elysium insects surged toward Gu Yu like a tidal wave.
But to the Five Poison Child's horror, as soon as the Blissful Insects approached Gu Yu, they retreated as if they had encountered a natural enemy, instantly plunging into chaos.
Seeing this, Gu Yu felt much more at ease.
All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The Nine Yang Divine Skill has the miraculous effect of being immune to all poisons. Otherwise, why would Gu Yu come to find the Five Poison Child all by himself?
This monster has spent his entire life researching poisons and has always used them to harm people; his martial arts skills are probably only second or third-rate. Once you break free from his poison, it will be as simple as killing a chicken or a dog.
"Heh, if you hadn't said a word, I might not have been able to find you. Truly, villains die from talking too much!"
Gu Yu suddenly flashed, and before the Five Poison Child could dodge, he had already slit his throat with a sword!
After the Five Poison Boy died, the Bliss Insects also became listless, curled up on the ground and motionless.
[Defeat the Five Poison Child, the master of the Blissful Cave, and gain 300 Destiny Points]
"Very good!"
Gu Yu's face lit up with joy.
Coincidentally, he currently has 1700 Destiny Points, just 300 points short of upgrading the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
