Chapter 908: Chapter 908: Showdown!
"Enough liquor!"
Orville Ellsworth sat back down in his chair with a grave expression.
He no longer appeared as relaxed and content as before.
During the conversation, he lifted the liquor pot high!
The slender stream of alcohol trickled from the mouth of the pot, slowly entering the cup.
The originally clear liquor turned pitch-black upon contact with the cup.
Murky, yet fragrant.
To poison properly, one must ensure it’s colorless and tasteless.
Even if hard to disguise, it should be made fragrant.
To go undetected by others.
Who would want to drink it if it stunk?
"Pass the liquor!"
This time, it was Atticus Ellsworth who passed the drink!
He was an elder of Martial Gate, with skills superior to Orville Ellsworth’s!
Bang!
After a strong slap on the table, Atticus Ellsworth flicked his fingers!
The wine cup spun and flew outwards.
Swish!
Julius Reed also extended a hand, lightly tapped the flying cup, and raised a finger.
The wine cup balanced upon his finger, spinning continuously.
After half a minute, it gradually came to a stop.
Then, Julius Reed pinched the cup and downed it in one gulp!
"Delicious!"
He looked at Orville Ellsworth with lingering interest, "It’s truly a pity you’re not a bartender."
As soon as he spoke these words!
The three members of the Medicine King Valley’s expressions drastically changed!
Especially Orville Ellsworth.
This time, he had heavily poisoned the drink.
Ordinary people, upon merely smelling it from up close, would drop dead instantly.
Yet, the other party was mocking him for being a bartender?
Having lived nearly a century!
Orville Ellsworth had received countless respects.
He was, after all, the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley!
A figure revered by tens of thousands.
Even the Medicine King himself treated him with utmost respect.
As he walked through the world, be it sects or dark forces, all regarded him with great respect!
Not to mention ordinary people in this mundane world.
Used to being complimented, even a slightly sarcastic remark was hard for him to accept.
"You dare call me, a bartender?"
Orville Ellsworth squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Julius Reed intently.
Such a strong poison should not be without any effect!
Even if just...
A bit of discomfort—yet there was none?
Or was the other party merely pretending to be tough?
"More liquor!"
Julius Reed raised his wine cup.
"Enough liquor!"
Orville Ellsworth lightly tapped his finger, and the wine in the pot turned blood-red.
He slowly pressed down on the mouth of the pot, and the wine spurted out into the air.
Whoosh!
Atticus Ellsworth fiercely waved his sleeve!
The wine in the air instantly formed a straight sword, stabbing towards Julius Reed!
The blood-red blade tore through the air!
Generating a swooshing sound.
Crash!
Julius Reed held the cup with one hand, colliding directly with the blood sword!
Then, he pulled the drink close to his chest!
He raised the cup and drank deeply!
"Refreshing!"
He turned the cup upside down, leaving not a drop remaining.
The Leocadia family members’ eyes widened.
They seemed numb!
Was... was this even human?
Describing it as a fight between gods was not an exaggeration!
Such dramatic portrayals were not even seen on TV!
Both parties, as if casting spells, became increasingly phenomenal!
An unprecedented sight in their lifetimes.
Even at the brink of death, having the fortune to witness such a scene.
It was worth it.
"Seems like there’s still a drop left!"
After hanging in the air for a dozen seconds, a drop of liquor had formed at the mouth of the cup.
"Can’t waste it!"
Julius Reed swiftly turned around and grabbed Natalia Leocadia!
"No!"
Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was forcibly opened by Julius Reed!
The drop of liquor entered.
"You dare!"
With a surge!
Atticus Ellsworth erupted, launching a punch through the air!
Boom!
Julius Reed sat in his chair, and the fists collided!
The immense force shattered the dining table instantly.
Collapsing it to the ground.
"Too late."
Julius Reed dusted off his clothes, looking down at Natalia Leocadia, who was now convulsing on the ground.
At the moment, Natalia Leocadia was foaming at the mouth, her eyes turning purple!
Her muscles, visibly withering.
Finally, they turned into a mummified corpse.
Silence.
Deathly stillness.
In the banquet hall where hundreds of Leocadia Family members sat, only the sound of sweat dropping on the floor remained.
Just one drop, so deadly!
Natalia Leocadia was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Medicine King Valley!
They stared wide-eyed, seemingly forgetting their predicament.
Just staring blankly, blankly watching.
Their faces, pale to the extreme!
Dead?
The one who just tried to seize the Leocadia family fortune and kill them all, had fallen dead to the floor?
Turned into a mummified corpse...
Unrecognizable!
Only then did they remember.
Julius Reed had drunk an entire cup!
Whish!
Hundreds of gazes once again turned onto Julius Reed.
Including Orville Ellsworth and Atticus Ellsworth.
This was.
Top-tier poison from Medicine King Valley!
The formula left by that genius Medicine King of the past, not even the Medicine King himself knew.
But now...
Julius Reed remained composed.
Just as everyone felt it was unbelievable, Julius Reed suddenly furrowed his brow.
One hand placed on his chest.
Hundreds of hearts hung in their throats.
Was this an illness?
You could hear a pin drop.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds...
By the fifth second.
"Burp..."
Julius Reed let out a burp and felt much better.
"Drank a bit too quickly."
He smiled awkwardly.
The hearts of the Leocadia Family members raced!
Excitement!
So strong!
The Leocadia Family was saved!
Evangeline Leocadia also breathed a sigh of relief and held onto Sophia Leocadia’s hand tightly.
A hero, so young!
But Julius Reed didn’t think much of it.
If these people knew that he had once competed in poisoning with the Medicine King and had successfully poisoned the once-in-a-millennium genius Medicine King to death.
Who knows what these people would think.
"It’s him..."
Orville Ellsworth stretched out his hand, tremblingly pointing at Julius Reed, "The man from that year, it’s him! Under the heavens, there is absolutely no second person who could withstand the poison I administered!"
Excitement gleamed in his eyes, along with exhilaration!
And humiliation and unwillingness!
As a Supreme Elder, to have his own disciple poisoned to death right before his eyes.
A colossal disgrace!
And yet, there was nothing he could do about this young man before him!
"With that being the case, I want even more to kill him!"
Bang!
Atticus Ellsworth fiercely slammed the table!
Dishes and utensils flew from the already collapsing dining table!
"Annihilate!"
Whirl!
He flung his robe, creating a gust of wind in the air!
The dishes, forks, and spoons that were tossed into the air turned into sharp weapons, thrusting towards Julius Reed!
Their speed was extremely fast!
The dining utensils almost reached Julius Reed in the blink of an eye!
Yet Julius Reed did not move.
Sitting in his chair.
Only when the knives and forks were about to reach him, he suddenly flipped the tablecloth!
His right hand continuously spinning!
Clang!
Inside the tablecloth, a series of metallic collisions sounded!
Whoosh!
In the end, Julius Reed forcefully flung it away!
A ten centimeter diameter iron ball fell to the ground.
Clang!
The banquet hall once again fell silent.
That iron ball was entirely made up of twisted forks and chopsticks, all intertwined.
Such immense force!
Beyond human capability!
The Leocadia Family members seemed unsurprised.
They numbly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, their hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Impressive skills!"
Atticus Ellsworth narrowed his eyes, coldly sizing up Julius Reed, "With skills like these, it’s no disgrace for Medicine King Valley to fall into your hands!"
No wonder.
No wonder Julius Reed could cause such an uproar in Medicine King Valley!
Skilled and daring!
"But next, you better not disappoint me!"
Atticus Ellsworth slowly raised his right hand!
Whether it was an illusion or a trick of the eye.
In the eyes of the Leocadia Family members, the area around Atticus Ellsworth’s right hand seemed somewhat distorted...
