If the poison had been refined by Grandpa Alchemist, Lord Dragon-Rearer would die even after shedding his skin a dozen times! " Shen Mu hurriedly tried to pull out the sword, but he had hammered it in too deeply and could not free it in such a short time. Then he saw that Lord Dragon-Rearer had already forced one dragon head out, with the Wuyou Sword still embedded in its forehead.
Shen Mu stood atop Lord Dragon-Rearer's head, both hands wrapped around the hilt, with Lord Dragon-Rearer's two enormous eyes directly beneath his feet. Those eyes were open now, staring at him.
Lord Dragon-Rearer's face was ashen, a sign of the poison he was desperately suppressing.
Behind Shen Mu, an enormous dragon head emerged, its body coiling through the water. The dark-green flood dragon opened its jaws, revealing savage, razor-sharp teeth. Shen Mu's eyes darted from side to side.
Quietly, he gripped the Heavenly Emperor Jade Tablet, then abruptly turned it behind him. The dark-green flood dragon's gaping maw had already reached above his head, and the fangs along its upper jaw had come within a hair's breadth of piercing his skull. Shen Mu held the Heavenly Emperor Jade Tablet high, his legs trembling, while Lord Dragon-Rearer beneath him continued to writhe and force his way out.
"D-d-d. . .
" Shen Mu opened his mouth, hearing his own teeth chatter as bubbles streamed from his lips. "D-don't move. .
. Be good. . .
D-d-don't. . .
" The dark-green flood dragon's jaws stopped. Slowly, it retreated, its gaze settling on the Heavenly Emperor Jade Tablet in Shen Mu's palm. "Maha. .
. " The flood dragon slowly lowered its head.
Shen Mu let out a breath of relief, then planted one foot on Lord Dragon-Rearer's eye and snarled, "You nearly got me killed!
Now tell me, where did you hide the True Dragon's Nest? I have hundreds of different poisons here. Believe me, I can grind you to dust!
" Lord Dragon-Rearer stared coldly at him and continued writhing outward. Suddenly, his forehead cracked open again with a sharp snap, and another dragon head emerged.
The poison Shen Mu had administered meant that shedding his skin only once could not dispel it; he needed to shed it a second time.
"Maha, maha!
" Behind Shen Mu, the dark-green flood dragon shrank in size and swam to his shoulder. It rested both claws on him, opened its mouth, and made Shen Mu pause in surprise. The True Dragon's Nest was inside the flood dragon's mouth. "You sly bastard.
You really are sly! " Shen Mu's heart bloomed with delight as he gave Lord Dragon-Rearer a thumbs-up.
