I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Chapter 254: Chapter 185: He Is Already Dead

But if Bian Yixia recovered most of her Gang Qi and could protect herself, the situation would be completely different.

”We’re not running?”

Bian Yixia had thought that after temporarily suppressing the Qi forces within her, Zou Feng would immediately flee with her.

But from the look on Zou Feng’s face, it seemed he actually intended to fight Yuwen Boxi—not just to determine a victor, but to settle things with life and death.

”Calm down. That old bastard has helpers fifty li away. They’ll be here soon...”

Before Bian Yixia could finish, Zou Feng waved a hand dismissively without turning around. ”There’s plenty of time!”

With that, he cracked his neck and knuckles, his fists making a series of CRUNCHING sounds as he slowly walked toward the approaching Yuwen Boxi.

Zou Feng’s actions took Yuwen Boxi by surprise.

’He’s not trying to run? He’s actually going to fight me?!’

Yuwen Boxi suddenly broke into a grin.

’Does this brat really think he can take me on just because he exchanged a few moves with the Gentleman’s Sword, Zhao Ke?’

But he had no intention of engaging in a war of words with Zou Feng. He had seen plenty of stubborn fools like this ”Iron Head Child” before; they wouldn’t learn their lesson until they were beaten black and blue.

The next moment, despite the thirty-foot distance between them, Yuwen Boxi’s fist trembled almost imperceptibly.

A torrent of golden Fist Force shot toward Zou Feng’s face in an instant.

Just in the nick of time, Zou Feng raised a hand, not only blocking the Fist Force but also clenching his fist and crushing it.

”Get off the horse!”

Flicking away the golden remnants of the Fist Force, Zou Feng urged impatiently.

’It’s not like this is some Qi Transformation into a Horse,’ he thought. ’Does Yuwen Boxi really plan to fight me while on horseback?’

Yuwen Boxi sneered, ”You want this official to dismount?”

”That depends on whether you have the skill... Huh?!”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was shocked to find that Zou Feng had abruptly vanished from his spot.

Though startled, Yuwen Boxi’s Gang Qi Armor instantly enveloped his entire body.

This was the ”Dragon Armor,” formed from True Dragon Celestial Spirits, as dazzling as exclusive gear for a pay-to-win gamer.

Unfortunately, while the ”Dragon Armor” could protect Yuwen Boxi, it couldn’t extend to cover the Fire Cloud Horse beneath him.

Besides, Zou Feng’s target had been the Fire Cloud Horse all along!

He wasn’t afraid of fighting Yuwen Boxi on horseback, but he was worried Yuwen Boxi would use the horse to flee, which would make him incredibly difficult to catch.

The next instant, a Poison Fury Fire Lotus Seal, empowered by his nearly Peak of Perfection Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Force, viciously slapped the horse’s face.

The Fire Cloud Horse immediately let out a series of mournful whinnies, staggering back several steps.

But it was, after all, a Demon Horse equivalent to a Gang Qi Realm master. It didn’t fall; after a few steps back, it regained its footing.

Once steady, it even glared angrily at Zou Feng, its nostrils continuously snorting out red smoke laced with sparks.

”Hmph...”

”A pity. A single palm strike is still not enough to make this official dismount...”

However, before Yuwen Boxi could finish his pretentious boast, the Fire Cloud Horse, which had been snorting red smoke, suddenly began to spray two jets of blood from its nostrils.

Then, the still-imposing Fire Cloud Horse began to tremble violently as if having a seizure. Soon, its eyes rolled back, and it slowly collapsed.

After hitting the ground, the Fire Cloud Horse wasn’t just bleeding from its nose anymore. Blood gushed from its other orifices like fountains; it was clearly not going to survive.

Thus, Yuwen Boxi was forced to dismount. Besides surprise, his eyes finally held a hint of gravity.

But he didn’t even have a moment to mourn his beloved horse. Zou Feng was already upon him, employing the Moon Chasing Step and making flashy Flower Hand gestures as he rapidly closed in.

One after another, Fire Lotuses bloomed around him, a beautiful yet deadly sight.

Yuwen Boxi, however, dared not admire the spectacle. He pushed his Emperor’s Shocking Heaven Fist to its limits, his hands moving so fast they seemed to disappear as he unleashed a relentless barrage of Fist Force.

The clash between the Fist Force and the Poison Fury Fire Lotus reached a stalemate for a moment before Zou Feng suddenly changed his move. He executed ”Lotus Burst,” transforming himself into a giant, rapidly spinning Fire Lotus that blasted toward Yuwen Boxi.

Seeing this, Yuwen Boxi remained fearless. With a sharp exhale, he dropped into a Horse Stance and threw a straightforward, no-frills punch.

A ”Dragon Head” of Fist Force roared out—this was the ”Dragon Roar Celestial Vault” from the Emperor’s Shocking Heaven Fist.

This technique wasn’t just a physical attack. The deafening ”Dragon Roar” it produced was imbued with a dragon’s might, intimidating all in its path.

Any Martial Artist of lesser strength who heard this Dragon Roar would be so intimidated that their will to fight would vanish, and they might even feel the urge to bow their heads in submission.

Zou Feng’s ”Lotus Burst” was gradually suppressed, unable to advance any further.

It was clear that Yuwen Boxi’s Emperor’s Shocking Heaven Fist had also reached the Peak Realm.

The Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill, however, focused more on applying poison; in terms of raw power in a direct confrontation, it was indeed currently inferior to the Royal Family’s High Grade Skill.

Seeing Zou Feng’s Big Move about to be neutralized and exhausted, the corner of Yuwen Boxi’s mouth unconsciously curled into a smirk.

’I have to admit, this brat is not to be underestimated,’ he thought. ’His strength far surpasses most at the Fifth Grade.’

’But this is as far as he goes. Within the Fourth Grade Realm, I am no average joe myself.’

Unfortunately, Yuwen Boxi’s smirk froze halfway, unable to fully form...

The failure of his ”Lotus Burst” had no effect on Zou Feng whatsoever.

His Great Universal Hand, also at the Peak Realm, had been deliberately held back for this very moment.

After all, Yuwen Boxi’s ”Dragon Roar Celestial Vault” was also a spent force after their prolonged clash.

The ”Seven Emotions and Six Desires Palm” of the Great Universal Hand crushed forward, accompanied by waves of Brahma Sound that drowned out the dragon’s roar.

In a panic, Yuwen Boxi only had time to stomp his foot and trigger a Bursting Qi, pushing his ”Dragon Armor” to its absolute limit to endure the blow head-on.

BOOM—!!

Amid the tremendous boom, Yuwen Boxi was rapidly driven back ten steps before he barely managed to regain his balance.

The smirk on his lips was replaced by a trickle of dark blood.

But before Yuwen Boxi could even catch his breath, the seemingly tireless Zou Feng had already circled behind him.

He continued to strike with his palms from all sorts of cunning angles.

Yuwen Boxi could only grit his teeth and defend, dodging or blocking, completely unable to retaliate.

And he hadn’t resisted for long before he inexplicably felt a wave of dizziness, as if he were drunk.

This immediately made Yuwen Boxi’s expression turn as ugly as it could possibly be.

He realized that the Body Skill Zou Feng was using was actually affecting his mind.

’Doesn’t this mean that this brat has even cultivated his Body Skill to the Peak Realm!?’

’This is impossible!’

’Evil Skills allow for rapid progress, but to master three of them to the Peak of Perfection... what kind of price must he have paid? Why hasn’t he died from the backlash yet!?’

Yuwen Boxi had no time to dwell on it. With his mind in disarray, he finally failed to resist and was struck by several of Zou Feng’s palms in succession.

The first was the Five Poison Palm.

The second, the Universal Palm.

The third, the Bone-Softening Palm.

The fourth, the Corpse Palm. The entire combo was executed as smoothly as flowing water. Job done.

Then, like a true man who never looks at explosions, Zou Feng turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation, heading back toward Bian Yixia.

Yuwen Boxi was beyond saving.

But the various Exotic Poisons needed some time to take full effect, which allowed Yuwen Boxi to turn unsteadily and look at Yuwen Zheng, whose jaw had nearly hit the floor.

”Zheng... Zheng’Er... Quick... run...”

”Find your... Uncle Kang... PWAAAH—”

Just as he finished speaking, a series of sharp CRACKLING sounds erupted from all over Yuwen Boxi’s body. He began to burst apart, violently spewing dark blood.

”Fa—ther—”

Although Yuwen Zheng cried out in grief, he didn’t dare get any closer. In fact, he had already greased his soles and was fleeing as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, Zou Feng had returned to Bian Yixia’s side.

Bian Yixia was meditating to recover, continuing to fight against the strange Qi forces gathering inside her. She wasn’t surprised that Zou Feng had won.

After all, she had spent a fair amount of time with Zou Feng and knew he wouldn’t pick a fight he wasn’t sure he could win.

However, glancing at the distant, fleeing figure of Yuwen Zheng, Bian Yixia couldn’t help but ask, ”Are you sure you want to let the tiger return to the mountain?”

Zou Feng shrugged. ”Of course not!”

”Don’t worry about him. He’s already dead!”

It might have seemed like Yuwen Boxi’s frantic efforts just now had successfully expelled the poison from Yuwen Zheng.

But Zou Feng was an unconventional Poison Cultivator, far beyond their understanding. How could a poison he administered, given enough time, be so easily neutralized?

Even if he himself were to try and cure the poison currently in Yuwen Zheng, it would take him at least half an hour.

Just as Zou Feng was about to let Bian Yixia witness Yuwen Zheng turn into a human fountain, a black dot suddenly appeared in the distant sky, rapidly streaking toward them...
