I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills-Chapter 180 - 149: Second Form

From the bottom of his heart, Yuwen Shuo looked down on Zou Feng as a "frog in a well." Of course, he could never comprehend the terrifying heights a Poison Cultivator could reach when their Cultivation came with no side effects.

The Peak Realm was by no means an empty concept.

When Yuwen Shuo had pulled out that small, inscrutable orb, Zou Feng couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive, wary as he was of the unknown.

As it turned out, Yuwen Shuo snapped his fingers awkwardly several times in a row, but nothing happened.

Now, Zou Feng could be certain that whatever poison had been added to the wine had already been absorbed by his body as harmless nutrients.

Offering poisoned wine to a Poison Cultivator in the Peak Realm was, in hindsight, equivalent to Yuwen Shuo performing monkey tricks in front of the Monkey King.

"You... You... You used poison?!"

After spitting out a mouthful of dark blood, Yuwen Shuo still wore an expression of utter disbelief.

This was truly hard for him to accept. ’A worthless Seventh Grade practitioner who only cultivated some shoddy Evil Skill, some unorthodox art, had actually managed to poison *him*?’

But at least he didn’t drop dead on the spot. He quickly pulled out a small vial and dumped all the Elixirs inside down his throat.

Seeing this, Zou Feng snapped his fingers again.

SNAP!

With the "Blood Hand Seal," a technique from the new Great Universal Hand, he could detonate the poison as long as he wasn’t too far away, activating the Skill with any simple gesture.

"PWAAARGH—"

The snap seemed to possess a demonic power, and Yuwen Shuo uncontrollably sprayed out another large mouthful of dark blood.

"Young Master!"

Wu Xing scrambled behind Yuwen Shuo, pressed his palms to his back, and began circulating his Gang Qi in an attempt to expel the poison from his body.

Unfortunately, while this method might have worked had they detected the poison sooner, it was now too late.

Yuwen Shuo was already poisoned to the bone.

Aside from Zou Feng, no one here could save him.

However, with the help of Wu Xing’s Gang Qi, Yuwen Shuo managed to recover slightly. He roared, "Kill him... No, take him alive!"

He was shouting at Xie Ding and the other constables.

Xie Ding stepped forward reluctantly and stared at Zou Feng. "General Zou, do you realize what you’re doing? That’s the son of the Governor of Jiangnan!"

Zou Feng’s smile vanished. "Chief Xie, let’s be frank. Don’t you think this place is the perfect setting for Yuwen Shuo to finally face his reckoning?"

This was a hint to Xie Ding, letting him know that Zou Feng was well aware that Yuwen Shuo would have some strange items on him.

But the unique environment of this place made it a worthwhile gamble that the signaling functions of his Magical Artifacts would be blocked.

"There’s no point in wishful thinking. I poisoned him myself. He’s a dead man!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ding saw that the die was cast. He simply stepped back a few paces and spread his hands, indicating he would no longer interfere.

In truth, he already held a great deal of resentment toward Yuwen Shuo. By insisting on venturing deep into this forest and forcing the constables to accompany his suicidal folly, Yuwen Shuo had essentially forced Xie Ding to make a choice.

"You people..."

Seeing Xie Ding back away and signal the other constables to stand down, Yuwen Shuo was completely stunned.

"The audacity! Good, good, good... Is this a rebellion!?"

"Just wait! Your entire clans will be exterminated down to the ninth generation!!"

Amid his furious roars, Yuwen Shuo took out a Jade Pendant, posturing as if he was about to crush it.

Quick as a flash, Xie Ding, who was closest to him, lashed out with the whip at his waist and snatched the Jade Pendant away.

Even though the unique environment here would likely block any signal from a Magical Artifact, it was obviously much safer not to give Yuwen Shuo the chance to even try.

Yuwen Shuo was riddled with a potent poison, and Wu Xing was concentrating all his efforts on expelling it. As a result, even though they were both in the Gang Qi Realm, neither reacted in time to Xie Ding’s incredibly decisive maneuver that cut off their only escape route.

"Let’s go! Follow the General Leader and kill this son of a bitch!"

"That’s right! He was forcing us to our deaths, so let’s send him on his way first!"

At this point, the members of the Hongxing Gang were ready to risk it all. There was no turning back now.

However, Zou Feng stopped them from rushing forward all at once. To avoid being "marked," he had a much safer method.

By this point, Yuwen Shuo was severely weakened. His Gang Qi Realm and collection of Magical Artifacts no longer gave him much confidence.

All he wanted now was to flee.

’But the problem is, I’ve been hit with some kind of potent poison. Even if I run, how far can I get?’ 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Quickly, force him to hand over the antidote!"

The only person left he could command was, obviously, Wu Xing.

Wu Xing had already been trying for a while and knew he couldn’t expel the poison from Yuwen Shuo’s body. He immediately obeyed the order, charging menacingly toward Zou Feng.

Their only chance now was to rely on Wu Xing being a true Gang Qi Realm expert and attempt to capture Zou Feng as quickly as possible.

Cut off the head of the snake. Once they captured Zou Feng, not only could they force him to hand over the antidote, but it would also stop the Hongxing Gang members from making any rash moves.

In an instant, Wu Xing was upon him, his Gang Qi materializing into a thick-spined great cleaver.

Amid a boom like muffled thunder, the might of this slash was horrifying. Zou Feng, of course, had no intention of taking it head-on.

He first unleashed the "Lotus in Lotus" technique he had been brewing, then immediately executed the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step, rapidly retreating in a series of afterimages.

The sheer number of flickering afterimages was disorienting to the extreme. Even if Wu Xing had a follow-up move ready after his first strike missed, he would have lost his lock on Zou Feng.

Seeing Wu Xing make his move, the Seventh Grade Martial Artists of the Hongxing Gang, as well as Tian Yun and the others, were not about to stand by and watch. They all readied themselves to jump in and assist.

However, after Wu Xing’s attack missed and kicked up a huge cloud of dust, everyone was surprised not to see him continue the frantic pursuit.

Amid the whistling wind, he had actually used the dust cloud as cover to turn and flee, sprinting back toward the room they came from.
