I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills-Chapter 148 - 132: General Leader

"Why...?"

"This... has nothing to do with you..."

Although his Inner Qi was being absorbed by Bian Yixia, Deng Guangxin, surprisingly, hadn’t drawn his last breath just yet.

He had schemed for so long, finally managing to gather six disciples with different special constitutions, and was on the verge of reaping the fruits of his victory.

But now, all his efforts were inexplicably falling apart at the final moment!

That’s right. The tricky part of the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill was that one couldn’t just find any six people, wait for them to practice, and then absorb their power.

It required six different special constitutions that corresponded exactly to the six attributes on the Hexagram Roulette. Only then could the skill truly reach Great Success.

Bian Yixia, for example, corresponded to the "fire" attribute, whether it was her constitution, personality, or fate.

Of course, for a skill as troublesome as the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill, the rewards were correspondingly generous.

First, breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm was a certainty.

Beyond that, the path to even higher realms would be exceptionally smooth, with a significant chance of advancing to a High Grade!

This was one of the reasons Deng Guangxin had lost all interest in the Black Flood Dragon Gang’s affairs after his return.

After all, his sights were set much higher now; he was already thinking on the level of a High Grade Martial Artist.

Unfortunately, some guy he’d never even met had appeared out of nowhere and reduced all his efforts to ashes.

One can only imagine how unwilling to accept defeat Deng Guangxin felt at this moment.

At the same time, he was filled with immense regret. ’If I had known someone would interfere, I never should have bothered researching the optimal absorption method.’

’If I’d just absorbed and refined everything quickly, the outcome might have been completely different...’

Zou Feng watched him with cold eyes. "Didn’t I just say? I just don’t like the look of you!"

"You... you..."

"AHHHH—"

With the Poison Force surging within him, setting off constant explosions, while his Inner Qi was being siphoned out through his skull by Bian Yixia, one could only imagine the agony Deng Guangxin was in.

Fortunately, his torment didn’t last long. The light quickly faded from his eyes, signaling that Deng Guangxin had finally met his end.

A gang lord of Yuan Guang County, a man who had the potential to become a High Grade Martial Artist and a titan of the Evil Dao, had been snuffed out in the cradle by Zou Feng.

By absorbing Deng Guangxin’s Inner Qi, Bian Yixia was actually at risk of being poisoned.

But with Zou Feng there to help her expel the poison, it wasn’t a problem.

While Bian Yixia was absorbing Deng Guangxin’s power, members of the gang began to file into the Gathering Hall one after another.

The first to boldly enter were Bian Yixia’s original confidants.

This group had witnessed the final stage of the head-on clash between Deng Guangxin and Zou Feng.

When they saw Deng Guangxin’s body erupting like a string of firecrackers, their excitement at his downfall was overshadowed by dumbfounded astonishment.

’Deng Guangxin, the Gang Leader at the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm, had come out of seclusion with a vengeance, clearly looking to stir up trouble, and he just... died like that?’

’And in the other room, Vice Gang Leader Xiang Kang had been beaten into the likeness of the Wuxiang Emperor, along with his mistress...’

In short, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, none of them would have believed it.

As more and more gang members entered the Gathering Hall, many of them, after getting over their initial shock, began to realize something.

A few of them even took the initiative to step forward, clasp their fists in a formal salute to Zou Feng, and declare, "Greetings, Gang Leader!"

Zou Feng frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Gang Leader, your Martial Arts are unmatched! You’ve slain the villain Deng Guangxin and saved us from fire and water! The brothers are eternally grateful!"

"We hope you will continue to lead the brothers and make the Black Flood Dragon Gang famous throughout the Jianghu!"

By now, Bian Yixia had finished absorbing Deng Guangxin’s Inner Qi.

And just as expected, Deng Guangxin’s body was now a mangled sack of flesh, completely silent.

Although this was the end Deng Guangxin deserved, Bian Yixia couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sorrow as she stared blankly at the scene.

Even though she had absorbed his Inner Qi and her Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill was about to undergo a qualitative change, it would still take some time.

Seeing that Zou Feng was about to be pushed into the Gang Leader’s position, Bian Yixia smiled and stated, "I have no objections to you becoming the Gang Leader!"

However, Zou Feng refused flatly. "No, Miss. You should be the Gang Leader. The Black Flood Dragon Gang was always relying on you to hold it together."

Zou Feng wasn’t just being modest; he genuinely didn’t want the position.

’After all, while the position certainly had its benefits, it would interfere with my training. Plus, if some major disaster struck, it would be harder for me to make a clean getaway...’

Not that Zou Feng had any plans to run away just yet. He wasn’t even a Gang Qi Realm Martial Artist; there was no sense of security to be found in moving to a new place.

Seeing how decisively Zou Feng refused, Bian Yixia had a good idea of his intentions and said, "Alright, I won’t force you. But you can’t refuse the position of General Leader, can you?"

The surrounding gang members heard this and immediately changed their tune, saluting him formally again. "Greetings, General Leader!"

’Tsk, so I couldn’t escape this rather inauspicious title...’

’But there’s no need to be superstitious in this world about things from my past life.’

And so, with some token resistance, Zou Feng accepted.

Although he didn’t want to be the Gang Leader, by becoming the General Leader, and given his relationship with Bian Yixia, he had effectively gained complete control of the Black Flood Dragon Gang anyway.

Controlling the Black Flood Dragon Gang had been part of Zou Feng’s plan all along.

These were chaotic times. The Southern Prince had rebelled, and with the political games of some Major Sects playing out behind the scenes, there was nowhere that could be considered truly safe.

For now, the relatively safer strategy was to lay low in Yuan Guang County and steadily advance to the Gang Qi Realm.

Next, Zou Feng planned to have a direct showdown with the Mountain and River Association and the Danxin Alliance.
