I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills-Chapter 194 - 155: New Big Brother on the List (Part 2)

Chapter 194: Chapter 155: New Big Brother on the List (Part 2)

The moment Tian Yun struck, Zou Feng executed a Snake Skin Movement, circling behind the Tattooed Scorpion Man.

By now, he had already formed a massive Lotus in Lotus, which he blasted outward in a high-speed rotation.

Zou Feng followed close behind the "lotus," using the Lotus in Lotus as cover while Gathering Strength for a vicious follow-up attack...

The poor Tattooed Scorpion Man hadn’t even caught his breath before he had to hastily defend against Zou Feng’s attack.

Adding to his woes, Tian Yun bypassed the horde of poison spiders and immediately followed up with perfect coordination, leaving the Tattooed Scorpion Man completely unable to fight back.

He defended frantically for a moment but finally couldn’t hold on any longer. He was struck repeatedly by Zou Feng, and the Qi Force from Tian Yun’s Inch Kill rattled his insides until his organs felt like they were being torn apart.

With a weak, wretched scream, the Tattooed Scorpion Man died violently on the spot without even a chance to display his abilities. It was a gruesome death.

Looking at the corpse of the Tattooed Scorpion Man, neither of them was surprised they had so easily dispatched a Gang Qi Realm disciple from Biyou Palace.

After all, given their strength and their use of a dishonorable sneak attack, such a result was only to be expected.

Zou Feng hadn’t even needed to use his "One-Minute True Man."

It was his ultimate trump card, a Big Move. While activating it would have finished off the Tattooed Scorpion Man faster, it was always wise to be frugal with such a one-time-use ability.

Furthermore, leaving no survivors was something Zou Feng and Tian Yun had agreed upon from the very beginning.

In truth, Zou Feng had wanted to leave him alive. He wanted to make the Tattooed Scorpion Man a new entry on his list, someone to bear his burdens for him.

The problem was that the Tattooed Scorpion Man wasn’t the only Biyou Palace disciple roaming the area.

If the man had some secret method of sending a message, the consequences would have been dire.

Thus, killing him outright was the safest option.

Without any more hesitation, Zou Feng went over and searched the body. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

He quickly found the small vial of Scorpion Poison, along with some unknown Elixirs.

Zou Feng also discovered that the man had numerous poisonous creatures hidden in his clothes. Only someone like him would dare to search the body so carelessly; anyone else would have likely paid a heavy price.

"Let’s go!"

After grabbing the Scorpion Poison and Elixirs, Zou Feng quickly got up and urged Tian Yun to run.

As for the poisonous creatures on the body, it wouldn’t be easy to take them alive. Besides, they could potentially be used as trackers by other Biyou Palace disciples.

Their main objective was complete, so making a quick escape was the safest course of action.

Tian Yun had initially wanted to suggest they go after the other Biyou Palace disciples who had gone in different directions.

After all, the ambush had gone exceptionally well, and she felt they could repeat the tactic to take out the other disciples carrying Scorpion Poison.

However, when she saw Zou Feng’s expression grow increasingly grave after their success, she realized she was probably getting carried away.

’Biyou Palace is still a Major Sect in the Southern Border, after all. Many of their methods are unknown. We have to be extremely cautious...’

And Zou Feng’s grave expression was not without reason.

From the moment they killed the Tattooed Scorpion Man, Zou Feng had felt an inexplicable sense of dread, a persistent feeling that something had locked onto him.

’Maybe the Tattooed Scorpion Man managed to poison me or leave some kind of "mark" on me before he died.’

But despite thoroughly checking his entire body, Zou Feng found nothing out of the ordinary.

’I might be a Poison Expert, but the world is vast. There are still far too many poisons I can’t detect or comprehend.’

’In any case, I need to get as far away as possible, as fast as possible.’

But simply fleeing didn’t ease his mind. He turned to Tian Yun and said, "Sister Yun, I need to make the most of this time to cultivate. I think we’ve been marked..."

Seeing how seriously Zou Feng was taking this, Tian Yun’s expression also grew heavy.

The other Biyou Palace disciples were manageable, but that "Brother Duan" was clearly on another level.

Even if he wasn’t Fifth Grade, he was without a doubt at the Peak of Sixth Grade.

But then a look of confusion crossed her face. "Cultivate? Right now?"

Zou Feng nodded. "Yes, but we won’t be stopping. I plan to cultivate while we run!"

"But that means I won’t be able to pay attention to our surroundings, so I’ll have to trouble you to be on the lookout, Sister Yun."

Tian Yun’s expression turned serious. "Okay. You just focus on your cultivation!"

With that settled, Zou Feng immediately took out the small vial he had seized. He carefully uncorked it and dripped three drops onto his palm.

When he uncorked the vial, there was no discernible smell, but Zou Feng still felt his mind uncontrollably slip into a daze.

Fortunately, his body was already accustomed to a mixture of poisons. After circulating his Inner Qi, the effect subsided.

After putting the vial away, Zou Feng rubbed his hands together, spreading the Scorpion Poison all over his palms as if applying lotion.

He simultaneously activated his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill, beginning his cultivation-on-the-run.

It was worth noting that ever since his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill had reached the Peak Realm, its cultivation progress had almost completely stagnated.

Right now, his progress was a pitiful 2%.

He simply couldn’t make any progress.

But now, with this incredibly potent Scorpion Poison, things would surely be different.

First, Scorpion Poison was derived from one of the Five Poison Creatures, making it a perfect match for his skill.

Although Zou Feng’s Five Poison Skill could now use any type of poison for cultivation, the effects were naturally best when using poisons from the five classic creatures.

Therefore, using this poison to cultivate his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill would certainly not cause any adverse reactions.

The only problem with his cultivation at the moment was that he was running out of sponsors on his list...

With the successive deaths of his Gang Qi Realm sponsors like Yuwen Shuo and Fang Jingchuan, the only ones left on the list were Lu Sen of the Ten Directions Sect and the List of Gods’ permanent resident, the Poison Cultivator Li Li.

Neither of them was weak, but since they weren’t at the Gang Qi Realm, Zou Feng felt a lack of confidence.

However, just as Zou Feng was looking over his List of Gods and lamenting his lack of sponsors, a new name slowly materialized on the list.

Duan Wuya.

Huh!?

Zou Feng had never heard the name before, but since there was a Biyou Palace disciple known as Brother Duan...

’It would be a miracle if this isn’t him!’

’What’s happening? For Duan Wuya’s name to suddenly appear... doesn’t that mean he’s already discovered his sect-mate was killed and is now actively tracking us?’

’Otherwise, the List of Gods wouldn’t have revealed his name at this exact moment.’

’Tsk. So I really was marked by some unknown method!’

"Sister Yun, that Brother Duan from Biyou Palace will probably catch up to us soon!" Zou Feng had to warn her so she could prepare.

Tian Yun froze for a moment, then said with grim contemplation, "If we team up, we might not have to fear him. As long as he’s not Fifth Grade, we can win!"

"Let’s keep running as long as we can," Zou Feng said. "If we’re truly cornered, it won’t be too late to fight then."

Zou Feng wanted to buy himself more time for cultivation. Especially now that Duan Wuya was on his list, he could slow the man’s pursuit while simultaneously training.

Of course, the ideal scenario was that the Scorpion Poison would cause his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill’s progress to skyrocket, allowing his Inner Qi to transform into Gang Qi and letting him finally break through to the Gang Qi Realm.

This wasn’t just wishful thinking. Like Tian Yun before her breakthrough, Zou Feng was already at the Half-Step Gang Qi stage.

The only thing he lacked to truly break into the Gang Qi Realm was the right cultivation resource.

This was why, despite knowing the great risks involved, Zou Feng had agreed to Tian Yun’s proposal to help him take down the Biyou Palace disciple.

After all, he was so close. Once he advanced to the Gang Qi Realm, many of his current problems would be easily solved.

Zou Feng said no more and focused on cultivating his Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill.

As he cultivated, all the side effects were being transferred away, so Zou Feng still wasn’t sure what the Scorpion Poison’s actual effects were, nor how powerful it was.

He only felt a pleasant coolness in his hands, as if they were submerged in pure, cool water.

In short, it was a very comfortable sensation. He even had the urge to wash his face with his poison-coated hands.

The moment this absurd thought appeared, Zou Feng, as if bewitched, slowly raised a hand toward his face.

"Zou Lang!?"

Seeing his strange movement, Tian Yun immediately called out to him.

After all, one shouldn’t smear a hand full of Scorpion Poison all over one’s face.

Her shout snapped Zou Feng back to his senses. He quickly lowered his hands. ’That was a close call,’ he thought.

The side effects that were transferred were generally those that caused physical discomfort.

If an effect felt pleasant and was not immediately harmful to the body, Zou Feng could still experience it himself.

Of course, it was also possible that the Scorpion Poison was so potent that the List of Gods’ transference mechanism hadn’t had time to adapt to it.
