Tales of Herding Gods

Panda Novel

“Overlord Body Qin, how haughty.”

Prince Qiu Ming smiled but he wasn’t angered. He said leisurely, “Why do peasants like you always view yourself so highly and underestimate the sons of the imperial family? My birthright is better than yours as I’m born into the imperial family, my knowledge is also more abundant than yours, my experience is also much more extensive. Whatever Numinous Sky or Emperor’s Throne techniques can be easily attained by me and I even have the guidance of the best teachers. What do you have?”

Village Chief, Crimson Light Son of God, First Ancestor Human Emperor felt apprehensive.

Being born into the imperial family indeed signified having an advantage over the others. This was something Qin Mu couldn’t compare with.

Even though Qin Mu had the teachings from the elders of Disabled Elderly Village since he was young and was much better off than the other people, that was nothing compared to what Prince Qiu Ming had received.

Prince Qiu Ming was a golden phoenix that was born into his golden nest while Qin Mu was just a hen dragon born into his straw shack!

Village Chief took a glance at Qin Mu who was beside him and he saw that this kid was unfazed at all. He thought to himself, ‘It’s all that Butcher’s fault! Butcher taught him never to show his fear to anyone. Deaf is also to be blamed, damned old man taught him to pee on the god to break the god in his heart and as a result, he is afraid of nothing now…’

Qin Mu said with a smile, “Even though I’m not born into an imperial family, I have nine people with indomitable spirit teaching me and the head of Disabled Elderly Village is this elder beside me. He is the village chief of our village, he taught me sword skills, he taught me how to conduct myself.”

Village Chief was moved and he blushed as he thought to himself. ‘Ehem, I did indeed taught him how to conduct himself, that is why he is so humble and polite, always modest and exercising forbearance, his demeanor is rather like mine.’

Prince Qiu Ming laughed loudly and placed his arms behind his back. He raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky and the bright moon was wrinkled. He sighed and said, “Teach you how to conduct yourself? What the use of knowing how to conduct yourself? The imperial family is the most ruthless, there are numerous princes in the celestial heavens and if you want to stand out from the rest, you have to experience bloodbaths, which among those who had rise above others would never experience the struggles of life and death before? When I was twelve, I was sent to the cemetery of the skandha devil to fight him, fifty of us went in and only I lived to come out! What had you experienced when you were twelve?”

Qin Mu thought about it but he wasn’t too willing to say.

Village Chief reminded him, “Mu’er, have you forgotten? Old Woman Si bought some hen dragons back then and you fought with the hen dragons daily, you always got beaten up by them.”

Qin Mu’s face was black like iron.

Prince Qiu Ming laughed once again and shook his head. “My birthright is better than yours, I’ve learned more than you, my experiences are also more extensive. Furthermore, I’m even more hardworking than you, yet you want to visit my grave, what a joke.”

Qin Mu looked at him seriously and said, “But killing you is really not a trouble for me. Prince, you can’t even be compared to that hen dragon I had encountered last time. To kill that hen dragon, I have to work together with Brother Zhe Huali. To kill you, I just need one move.”

Zhe Huali forced back his laughter and the demon knife behind him curved its eye. It was a pity it couldn’t make any sound.

Prince Qiu Ming took a glance at him and wore a faint smile on the corner of his lips. “Zhe Huali, you are originally a talent of Spirit Elite Guards, never would I expect you to become so shortsighted after coming down to the lower bound. Overlord Body Qin, the reason why I’m telling you so much is not to brag about myself, they are just facts.”

He looked at Qin Mu and smiled faintly, “You are referred to as the overlord body by the peasants of the lower bound, what a joke. One can well imagine how shortsighted these lowly races of the lower bound were. If you are the overlord body, what body would I who was born into the imperial family be? Do you know why do I have to kill you first after coming down to the lower bound on an order?”

Qin Mu shook his head. “I don’t.”

“I’ve come down to kill the three heroes of Eternal Peace’s reform and you are the first in place, it is because you have the title of the overlord body.”

Prince Qiu Ming looked leisurely at the night scenery of Surging River and said calmly, “Only by killing you, one of the three heroes of Eternal Peace’s reform, would these peasants know the awe of the heavens, only then would they know fear. Only then would they kneel to the ground and submit to us, to accept their current circumstances and forget about further thoughts to reform or whatnot. This is why you must be rid of first.”

Qin Mu asked curiously, “So who is the second person you want to get rid of?”

“Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor Jiang Baigui.”

Prince Qiu Ming said righteously, “Jiang Baigui is being honored as the saint that appears once every five hundred years, killing him would be very shocking. This would let the foolish people of the lower bound know that their so-called saint is nothing in the eyes of the celestial heavens, that he could be crushed easily. Lastly, I will kill Emperor Yanfeng. I want him to kneel down and die, of course, he must kneel down in front of all these peasants and wait for his death.”

His expression turned cold. “Merely the bumpkin emperor of a small country yet he doesn’t know the grace of heaven, he doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. I would naturally have to destroy all of his hopes and make him kneel to wait for his death!”

“Well said!”

The two visitors from the celestial heavens behind him clapped their hands and praised. “This is what should be done to show the awe of the heavens!”

“Prince is wise and strong, to let Prince handle this small matter of Eternal Peace Empire is truly a waste of your talents!”

Prince Qiu Ming was full of smiles and looked at Qin Mu. “Overlord Body Qin, do you dare to accept the battle?”

Qin Mu was about to agree when Village Chief said nervously, “Mu’er, there’s no need to agree. We have the advantage in numbers and we also have Crimson Light Son of God and First Ancestor, we can definitely win them! Why put yourself in danger and fight to the death with him?”

Prince Qiu Ming said leisurely, “Behind me are two experts on Jade Capital Realm and they are in charge of my safety as well as assisting me to quell the chaos in Eternal Peace. Divine Knife Luo of Spirit Elite Guards is also a subordinate of the celestial heavens, you should know his abilities, I don’t have to elaborate. You guys merely have two strong practitioners on Jade Capital City while I have one more than you.”

Village Chief frowned.

First Ancestor also frowned and looked at Luo Wushuang.

Luo Wushuang was silent and he looked suspiciously at Zhe Huali.

Zhe Huali pretended not to see and kept his gaze on Qin Mu.

Qin Mu said with a smile, “Village Chief, don’t worry, merely a prince from the celestial heavens, it’s not like I have never killed one before? I’ll be right back.”

Village Chief said softly, “Play it safe. Test what abilities does he has first, don’t go with your killing blow right away. After you see through his abilities, just act accordingly.”

Qin Mu nodded and raised his hand. “Prince Qiu Ming, please.”

Prince Qiu Ming’s aura rose drastically and his aura burst forth. His qi and blood were like an iron blood flag in the sky, floating in the wind of the river!

Zhe Huali was astonished. On the ghost ship, Prince Qiu Ming had used three different kinds of Emperor’s Throne techniques to defeat him but he had not used this iron-blood flag technique before!

Back then, Qin Mu had killed Prince Qiu Ming in a few moves because Prince Qiu Ming and Zhe Huali had fought, revealing his techniques and divine arts. Yet now that Prince Qiu Ming wasn’t using the three kinds of Emperor’s Throne techniques, Zhe Huali couldn’t help worrying for Qin Mu.

First Ancestor Human Emperor was astonished and said softly, “The Emperor’s Throne techniques of Western Heaven Gold Deity, Blood Rust Flag Scripture!”

Village Chief hurriedly asked, “Is it powerful?”

The corners of First Ancestor Human Emperor’s eyes twitched and his voice was slightly hoarse, “Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher had lost under this technique and was defeated by Western Heaven Gold Deity.”

Village Chief’s heart sank and transferred his voice to First Ancestor. “If Mu’er is defeat, you shall block down the two experts from the celestial heavens, I will save Mu’er!”

First Ancestor Human Emperor nodded his head.

Just as they finished their discussion, Prince Qiu Ming had already made his move.

Blood dyed the sky and moonlight filled the sky. The moonlight shone on the rusted flag.

Prince Qiu Ming made a move and the flow of Surging River was nearly stopped. The surging river water rose into the sky and stood upright like a cliff.

Prince Qiu Ming slashed forward and the rusted flag covered the sky to cover everyone’s vision. Countless rusted swords inside this huge flag flew out and gathered into a stream which drowned out Qin Mu.

Right at this moment, a beam of sword light flew out to break through the countless rusted swords, reaching Prince Qiu Ming’s forehead in an instant.

Prince Qiu Ming tilted his head and the sword light flew passed his cheek. Right at this moment, he saw a light flickering behind him and Qin Mu’s figure had already appeared. Qin Mu stretched out his hand to grab the sword light.

Prince Qiu Ming was astonished and the huge flag in the sky covered down to sweep him away as he escaped through the sky.

Right as the huge flag covered down, Qin Mu raised his sword and stabbed into the huge flag.

That sword light transformed into countless flying swords that got swept away by the huge flag as well.

The huge flag that got swept up rattled and moved a hundred miles instantly. Its speed was so fast that the naked eye couldn’t catch anything.

Qin Mu’s teleportation divine art was already fast enough and the speed of Prince Qiu Ming’s Blood Rust Flag Scripture was actually not any slower, this caused everyone on the river to exclaim in admiration. “As expected of an Emperor’s Throne technique!”

When that rusted flag landed, it immediately opened up with a whoosh and countless flying swords flew out from the rusted flag like incomparably tiny silver fish. They flew back to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu raised his hand and sounds of collision rang out continuously. Those tiny flying swords collided and fused with one another, transforming into a treasure sword in his hand.

Qin Mu rubbed his hands and the treasure sword got rubbed into sword pellet which he stuffed back into his taotie sack. He then took out a stick of incense from his taotie sack and gently blew on it. The incense was lighted up and the smell of incense rose upwards in spirals as it flew towards that flag.

On the river surface a hundred miles away, blood and shattered bones poured out continuously from the rusted flag and dyed the river red.

That stick of incense flew over and stabbed in the hole of the flag.

“Prince Qiu Ming, now you know what is called the overlord body, right?”

Qin Mu’s voice rang out. “Please accept this incense first, on this day next year, I’ll visit your grave again.”

The huge flag slowly sank into the river and got swept away.

Silence filled the river and no one dared to speak. The atmosphere was stifling.

Village Chief, First Ancestor, and the others had not come back to their senses. The other two visitors from the celestial heavens also haven’t come back to their senses!

“Just one move…”

Zhe Huali sighed. He knew that this would be the conclusion so he was the calmest one instead. He thought to himself. ‘He had only use one move. On the ship, he had even used four to five moves…’

Luo Wushuang looked at him and said softly, “Zhe Huali, you knew this would happen long ago, why didn’t you say anything?”

Zhe Huali didn’t reply him.

“You killed the prince…”

Suddenly, the two visitors from the celestial heavens said with a trembling voice, “You killed Prince Qiu Ming!”

Qin Mu replied politely, “Seniors, if I don’t kill him, am I going to let him kill me? Both of you don’t have to look for him in Youdu or Mingdu, you won’t find him. I usually get rid of my enemies completely so Prince Qiu Ming’s soul has already been destroyed.”

Both of the gods from the celestial heavens screeched and their divine might burst forth as they pounced on Qin Mu.

First Ancestor Human Emperor and Crimson Light Son of God burst out at the same time to block both of them on the light and the right.

Luo Wushuang’s gaze twinkled and a soft sound came from the sheath behind him, the divine knife was about to be unsheathed. Right at this moment, Qin Mu undid the willow leaf on the heart of his brows and he shouted angrily, “Brother, it’s time to kill!”

Incomparably terrifying aura burst forth from his body and Luo Wushuang’s heart shook violently. His divine knife returned back to its sheath and the boat under his feet immediately changed direction as he rushed towards the river.

Zhe Huali suddenly jumped down from the boat. Luo Wushuang couldn’t care about escaping for his life and immediately stop the boat. He shouted, “Zhe Huali, get up now!”

“Teacher Luo!”

Zhe Huali knelt down on the river surface and bowed. “From today onwards, Teacher Luo will not have a disciple such as me, I hereby bow and thank you, teacher, for your grace! In the future, I might have to face Divine Knife.”

Luo Wushuang was stunned. He suddenly pulled out his divine knife and sliced off his sleeve to throw it into the river. The boat left in a hurry.
