Venerable Demon Chef
Chapter 412 - 409: Did I Eat Your Family’s Rice?
"San Pang, watch out! That’s the Five Poison Array, and it’s incredibly dangerous! Get up there and stop them! You absolutely cannot let them complete the Array Formation!" Feng Liang shouted.
He knew a thing or two about the Five Poison Array.
Legend had it that decades ago, a Cultivator at the Divine Sea Half-Immortal Realm appeared in the Mortal District managed by the Five Poison Sub-Palace. Relying on his Cultivation, he ran rampant for a time, killing for sport and throwing the entire Mortal District into chaos.
Later, this person grew incredibly arrogant, even openly challenging the Hall of Envoys.
The Five Poison Sub-Palace dispatched just twenty Void Realm Cultivators. They set up a complete Five Poison Array in advance and lured the Demi-Immortal Cultivator into it.
Half a day later, the twenty Void Realm Cultivators were completely unscathed, but the Demi-Immortal had been reduced to a puddle of pus, his body and soul utterly destroyed.
This just went to show how truly powerful the Five Poison Array was!
Hearing Feng Liang’s warning, Jin Sanpang turned and gave him a simple, good-natured grin, but he remained standing right where he was, making no other move.
Feng Liang grew anxious and quickly turned his gaze to Mo Qi.
"Master Mo, look at this..."
Mo Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time, his impression of Feng Liang had improved significantly.
No matter what, being so worried about Jin Sanpang at least showed that the guy already considered them his own people.
’That’s a good thing.’
"Don’t worry, San Pang will be fine," Mo Qi said with a smile. "Just watch. The Immortals from the Five Poison Sub-Palace are about to lose their composure."
San Pang possessed the Undying Poison Body. To him, deadly poison was a treasure, the very foundation of his Cultivation.
No matter how powerful the Five Poison Array was, its attacks were ultimately based on poison.
And since it used poison to attack, not only would San Pang be fine, he would actually benefit greatly.
’He’ll be fine even with this? Are you sure you understand how powerful the Five Poison Array is?’
Feng Liang wanted to say more, but he noticed that it wasn’t just Mo Qi who looked relaxed. Liu Hui, Qian Duoduo, and the rest of Mo Qi’s group showed no signs of worry at all. Some were even chatting and telling jokes, completely unconcerned about the battle.
’What kind of people are these?’
Shifting his gaze back to the experts from the Five Poison Sub-Palace, Feng Liang was stunned to see several of their Immortals staring at Jin Sanpang with expressions of pleasant surprise, as if they had just discovered a treasure.
"What do you all think?"
The Immortals of the Five Poison Sub-Palace conferred with each other.
"This boy can withstand Innate Fiendish Poison without fear and neutralized nearly twenty unique deadly poisons in a very short time. If I’m not mistaken, he likely possesses some kind of legendary and powerful Poison Body."
"A Poison Body? I don’t think so. The boy hasn’t revealed a poison source yet. Perhaps he’s just mastered some special Technique that counters deadly poisons?"
"Let’s not jump to conclusions. We’ll see how he handles the Five Poison Array. If he truly does possess a Poison Body, then we must bring him back to the Sub-Palace, no matter the cost!"
"Right!"
Inside the Five Poison Array, Jin Sanpang yawned out of boredom, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "How much longer are you guys gonna be?"
The eight green-robed men in the middle of their Array Formation faltered, nearly breaking their rhythm.
’Arrogant!’
’So fucking arrogant!’
’He’s clearly just waiting for us to finish setting up the array!’
This went beyond mere contempt. From start to finish, he completely, utterly, hadn’t paid them any mind at all!
"You damn fat pig, just you wait! Let’s see if you can still be so arrogant in a moment!" the leading green-robed man snarled, glaring at Jin Sanpang.
Focused on "absorbing the poison," Jin Sanpang automatically ignored the insult. He scratched his head, genuinely confused.
’Arrogant? Was I being arrogant just now?’
’I don’t think so!’
’I’m a good person, and good people aren’t arrogant!’
Jin Sanpang lowered his head, trying to define "good" and "bad" with his pitifully limited logic.
Just then, the setup of the Five Poison Array reached its final stage.
The eight green-robed men simultaneously slapped their chests, spraying out mouthfuls of blood.
PSSSH~
Eight streams of bloodlight showered down from different directions onto their respective Lifebound Poison Beasts.
VMMMM!
The Power of Heaven and Earth trembled. An invisible ripple trapped Jin Sanpang in the center. The array was complete!
"Hahaha, you fat pig, your doom has come!" the leader of the green-robed men roared with laughter, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, something squirmed within the lapels of Mo Qi’s robes, and the Pig Emperor’s head poked out.
"Motherfucker! Who the hell keeps yelling ’fat pig, fat pig’? What’s wrong with a pig being a little fat? Did I eat your rice? Block your road? Or did I sleep with your wife?"
The Pig Emperor crawled onto Mo Qi’s shoulder with a thoroughly disgruntled expression.
’Why is it so exhausting being a pig these days?’
’Can’t this Emperor even get a decent afternoon nap?’
"San Pang, go easy on them. Don’t kill them all; leave them for me. They seem to have some misconceptions about pigs, so I feel a great sense of obligation to help them change their views."
Hearing the Pig Emperor’s instructions, Jin Sanpang nodded vigorously.
"No problem, Brother Pig Emperor. Just wait a moment. I’ll go grab them for you."
As he spoke, a giant warhammer appeared in Jin Sanpang’s hand with a single thought.
"Is this your limit? Is this all you have? I’m making my move now."
Dragging the massive hammer behind him, Jin Sanpang walked forward, step by step.
The eight green-robed men exchanged a look.
"Attack!"
The eight men formed hand seals in unison, activating the Five Poison Array to attack Jin Sanpang.
Countless deadly and exotic poisons erupted from all directions, instantly submerging Jin Sanpang.
HISSSSSSS!
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
The toxins corroded Spiritual Energy, corroded the earth, corroded the Power of Heaven and Earth, and even corroded space itself.
For a moment, all sorts of grating, bizarre noises filled the air, chilling one to the bone and striking terror into their hearts.
"Ah!"
Jin Sanpang’s shout echoed from within the Five Poison Array.
Hearing this, the eight green-robed men beamed with joy and simultaneously quickened the speed of their hand seals.
Even more deadly poison was generated by the array. They wanted to press their advantage and annihilate Jin Sanpang within the array in the cruelest way possible.
"Ah! Ahhhh! Ahhhh~~~"
Jin Sanpang’s cries continued unabated.
One minute... two minutes... five minutes... a quarter of an hour!
As time went on, not only did Jin Sanpang’s shouts not fade, they grew even louder.
And no matter how one listened, it didn’t sound like he was in pain. It sounded more like... he was enjoying it.
The smiles on the eight green-robed men’s faces gradually vanished. The dense poison obscured their vision, so not even they could see what was happening inside the array.
Just then, a powerful force burst forth from within the poison.
An appallingly dense stream of black qi, sharp as a needle, pierced through the poison. It then transformed into two giant hands that, as if tearing through tissue paper, easily ripped the poison-shrouded area in half.
A large, stout figure walked out from within. It was Jin Sanpang!
At this moment, Jin Sanpang’s expression was chillingly cold, without a trace of his previous simple-mindedness.
Black qi coiled around his body, and his pupils were completely black, with no visible whites, giving him a bizarre and terrifying appearance.
A Grotto Heaven hovered behind his head. With a slight shimmer, it absorbed every last bit of the poison!
