I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

”Brother Zou... be careful... it’s an ambush!!”

Although she saw that Zou Feng was already a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, Shangguan Rongrong was still deeply worried. After all, Xie Lingwan seemed completely certain of her victory and looked truly unfathomable.

But of course, she didn’t want to die; she still hoped to be rescued. So she couldn’t bring herself to tell Zou Feng to flee, even though that would have been the wisest choice.

Therefore, Shangguan Rongrong could only hope that Zou Feng had some trump cards of his own.

”As expected of the prodigy who is said to be a rare sight even in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. Zou Feng... I’ve heard so much about you!” As a magnetic voice spoke, Xie Lingwan slowly walked out from behind a rock.

Zou Feng had no intention of wasting words with her. She had already betrayed them. Even if she knelt and surrendered now, the best outcome for her would be imprisonment in the Demon Suppression Tower.

So, without another word, he stamped his foot and shot toward Xie Lingwan like a cannonball.

However, as expected, when he was still about a dozen paces from Xie Lingwan, countless transparent and incredibly sharp spider silks blocked his path.

Zou Feng could have activated his Tribulation-Indestructible Body and tried to power through, but he instinctively realized these silks were unusual. So, he came to an abrupt ”halt,” stopping just before them.

”You really could tell these silks were special at a glance!” Xie Lingwan’s voice was filled with admiration.

”My apologies for those crude tricks earlier... Now, this is the true Thousand Silk Bone-Melting Prison!”

Before her voice had even faded, the silks that had only been blocking Zou Feng’s path suddenly materialized from all directions.

The all-encompassing coverage left Zou Feng with no way to dodge. In the blink of an eye, he was bound tightly.

Zou Feng tried to break free and did indeed snap a large number of silks, but it was futile. More and more silks materialized out of thin air, soon wrapping him up like a rice dumpling.

The moment before he was completely engulfed by the silks, Xie Lingwan’s wild laughter was exceptionally grating.

Just as Xie Lingwan had said, this was the true killing blow of the Thousand Silk Bone-Melting Prison—a rule that ensured one would be ensnared by the Bone-Transforming Soul-Binding Silk.

In fact, from the moment Zou Feng had stepped into this Domain, he had already fallen into the spider’s web. As long as Xie Lingwan activated it, Zou Feng was guaranteed to be bound instantly.

But a guaranteed hit didn’t mean it was guaranteed to take Zou Feng down.

That was why Xie Lingwan had first used a series of flashy-but-ineffective moves to wear Zou Feng down.

Furthermore, with each enemy attack Zou Feng had faced earlier, Xie Lingwan had actually been applying different types of Spider Poison.

There had been seven obstacles in total, which meant she had layered seven different potent poisons onto Zou Feng.

These seven poisons were extremely stealthy. In this Domain filled with toxic gas, even Zou Feng couldn’t distinguish them, assuming they were all part of the Domain’s effect.

Now that the Domain’s rule was activated, Xie Lingwan detonated all seven poisons. The resulting power would surely give Zou Feng an ”exhilarating” experience.

Amidst Xie Lingwan’s wild laughter, Zou Feng was wrapped up completely. Although he was still struggling, it all seemed futile.

Seeing this, Shangguan Rongrong’s spirits plummeted, and her eyes filled with despair.

She even began to resent Zou Feng for being so overconfident. If he had just brought a few more fellow disciples, the situation would be completely different.

’Without a sufficiently calm and wise mind, no matter how extraordinary one’s talent, it’s ultimately just a Mirror Flower Water Moon...’

”Stop wasting your energy. Before long, you’ll be dissolved into the purest essence and become a great asset on my path to the Dao!”

However, just as Xie Lingwan finished her taunt, a rhythmic sound echoed from within the layers of spiderwebs.

THUMP THUMP THUMP...

The drum-like sound grew louder and louder, causing the surroundings to resonate until the entire space began to tremble.

Xie Lingwan’s smile froze. She stared at the large ball of webbing in disbelief.

’Impossible!’

’The Bone-Transforming Soul-Binding Silk dissolves everything, starting with the target’s Spiritual Qi and Magical Power.’

’Zou Feng just went through a ”tough fight” to get here; his reserves were already heavily depleted. Now that he’s bound so tightly, whatever Spiritual Qi and Magical Power he had left should have been dissolved completely.’

’So, where in the world is this power, this force that seems capable of breaking free from the Bone-Transforming Soul-Binding Silk, coming from!?’

Though utterly shocked, Xie Lingwan didn’t remain idle. She hurriedly went all out, pushing her Domain’s power into a frantic overload to continuously increase the strength of the Bone-Transforming Soul-Binding Silk.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t contain the power erupting from Zou Feng. It was simply unstoppable.

Not long after, with a loud RIP, the cocoon formed by the spiderwebs was brutally torn apart.

After tearing an opening, Zou Feng stepped out slowly, bare-chested.

Now, Xie Lingwan finally understood the source of that thumping, drum-like sound and the inexplicable power that had erupted from the cocoon...

With Zou Feng’s upper body exposed, she could clearly see his muscles rhythmically flexing and pulsing.

Though it was just the movement of his muscles, the force it generated was so terrifying that it produced the drum-like sounds.

Thus, although Xie Lingwan couldn’t accept this reality, she had to admit it: Zou Feng had broken her Bone-Transforming Soul-Binding Silk with pure, raw physical strength.

”Not bad. To be able to dissolve my expensive Martial Attire so quickly, I’ll admit you have some skill.” Zou Feng cracked his neck, then squeezed his sandbag-sized fists until they popped.

The reason his pants weren’t completely dissolved, merely tattered, was that Zou Feng didn’t want to completely let loose and had made an effort to protect his last shred of decency.

Xie Lingwan’s mouth twitched. She was completely at a loss for words.

’My meticulously prepared Big Move, the culmination of all my schemes, ended up just... dissolving Zou Feng’s Martial Attire!?’

She stared blankly at Zou Feng. That physique she had once coveted now seemed to hold a Great Horror the more she looked at it.

’If Zou Feng, in this state of frenzied muscle pulsation, were to give me a ”loving hug,” the consequences would be just...’

WHOOSH—Xie Lingwan didn’t dare to clash with Zou Feng any longer. She immediately cast a spell to escape.

’The Thousand Silk Bone-Melting Prison hasn’t disappeared yet. With the home-field advantage, I can definitely escape!’

Just as she finished psyching herself up, Xie Lingwan was suddenly and inexplicably struck by a blunt force.

Moreover, she had the feeling that this blow didn’t come from the outside, but as if someone had attacked her directly from within her own mind...

”Ahhh—”

Screaming, Xie Lingwan plummeted from the sky, smashing a large crater into the ground. She couldn’t get up for a long moment.

Zou Feng had long been prepared for her escape attempt. The moment he saw her move, he immediately activated the side effect Critical Strike.

This side effect Critical Strike not only dealt a heavy blow to Xie Lingwan’s sea of consciousness but also altered her perception, making her feel a primal fear toward Zou Feng, as if he were her natural predator.

It was as if her mind had been poisoned, her inherent cognition in this regard forcibly rewired.

Therefore, when Xie Lingwan finally climbed out of the crater and saw Zou Feng, her first reaction wasn’t to continue fleeing. Instead, she was engulfed by instinctual terror, able to do nothing but tremble and let out a hysterical scream.

”You... you stay away from me, ahhh...!”

As a fellow Golden Core Realm Great Cultivator, even in defeat, she shouldn’t have reacted in such a disgraceful manner.

Shangguan Rongrong, still hanging in the middle of the spiderweb, was utterly bewildered by the scene.

’For a moment, she even wondered if Zou Feng and Xie Lingwan had colluded beforehand to put on a show.’

Meanwhile, Zou Feng walked back to Xie Lingwan, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up. Then, he delivered a hard slap across her face, silencing her.

”Speak. Who gave you the guts to betray the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect?”

Zou Feng didn’t believe that the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld alone could have emboldened so many of the Demon Race to rebel.

Especially when she knew the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect had dispatched the northern expedition army, it would be strange if Xie Lingwan dared to cause such trouble without some other backing.

At this point, Xie Lingwan was completely broken. Hearing his question, she just subconsciously muttered, ”The Dubhe Divine Domain... is coming...”
