I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Chapter 286: Chapter 201: Killing Intent Beneath the Skirt (Part 2)

The people outside the rear garden either hadn’t noticed yet, or the ever-spreading poisonous gas had clouded their judgment.

Therefore, the Old Witch couldn’t fight Zou Feng here. After all, if the two of them went all out, the Poison Domain alone wouldn’t be able to conceal the commotion in the rear garden.

Zou Feng wasn’t about to let her escape and immediately gave chase.

Now, Zou Feng’s desire to catch this Old Witch wasn’t just about completing the Biyou Palace’s mission.

He was also eager to force out of her the method to advance the Five Poison Skill to the Extraordinary to Saint realm, then kill this fiend and seize the Poison of the Gu King and other valuable treasures.

After escaping the City Lord’s Mansion, the two of them leaped across eaves and scaled walls, chasing each other through Qingchuan City.

To the average pedestrian, it would have just felt like two gusts of wind brushing past.

After chasing for a while, just as they were about to leave the city, Zou Feng was surprised to find that the distance between him and the Old Witch hadn’t noticeably shortened.

’This fiend’s Qinggong is that strong?’

You had to know, Zou Feng’s Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step was at the Peak Realm. Although the Moon Chasing Step’s greatest strength was its evasive ability, the fact that he still couldn’t catch up was enough to prove that the Old Witch’s Qinggong was also incredibly formidable.

Moreover, the Old Witch wasn’t just single-mindedly fleeing.

As a Peak of Fourth Grade Poison Cultivator, this woman also possessed the special skill of ”poison running,” constantly using different poisonous gases to interfere with Zou Feng’s pursuit along the way.

Thankfully, Zou Feng could resist or even ignore these poisons. Had a weaker person given chase, they might have been horrified to realize that all that was left of them was a running skeleton...

’I’ve really run into a tough one. This fiend must be someone of renown.’

Thinking of this, Zou Feng diverted some of his attention to open the List of Gods.

A new name, Ding Gang, appeared.

This freshly appeared name naturally corresponded to the Old Witch who bore killing intent toward him.

’Her name isn’t feminine at all.’

It was normal for Zou Feng to have never heard this name.

After all, he was only familiar with outsiders and couldn’t even recognize most of the publicly known experts from the Southern Border.

He didn’t even know most of the upper echelons in Biyou Palace, aside from those he had personally met.

Although he couldn’t catch up for the moment, Zou Feng wasn’t worried. After all, he still had an ace up his sleeve.

His True Man State, which now lasted a full five minutes, was no joke.

But there was no need for that now. Zou Feng had already seen that since she couldn’t shake him, the Old Witch must have had other plans.

’For example, taking this opportunity to lure me into her lair...’

The chase lasted for more than half an hour. Due to their incredible speed, the two had naturally entered the deep mountains and old forests, quite a distance from Qingchuan City.

The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding atmosphere grew increasingly strange.

Although there wasn’t a single grave around, Zou Feng clearly felt that it was no different from when he had entered the Chaotic Burial Mound.

Sure enough, after entering a rugged, stony area, the Old Witch, Ding Gang, suddenly stopped and fled no more.

Zou Feng followed suit and stopped, catching his breath slightly as he prepared for what was to come.

”Biyou Palace... what exactly did they give you to make a Poison Skill expert like you work so desperately?” Slowly turning her head, the face that had been disguised as a maid’s was long gone.

In its place was an androgynous face, making it hard to distinguish their gender, and they were, on the whole, quite attractive.

In men’s clothes, they would be devastatingly handsome; in a dress, breathtakingly beautiful.

Moreover, their face still looked very young, seemingly having no connection to the moniker ”Old Witch” whatsoever.

Zou Feng clasped his hands behind his back and said, ”I am an Honored Guest Elder who has just joined Biyou Palace.”

Ding Gang sneered, ”You could have joined any Sect, but you just had to pick the filthiest one!”

”Take a word of advice from me: find a way to undo the Five Poison Heart Devouring Curse and get out of there as soon as you can. Otherwise...”

”Calculating the time, that person in your Biyou Palace should be about to have another fit of madness!”

Just from these words, Zou Feng knew that this Ding Gang indeed had some history with Biyou Palace.

’I just don’t know if she’s the one who betrayed Biyou Palace all those years ago.’

This question could be answered easily by asking a senior disciple of Biyou Palace, but he didn’t have the chance to do so right now.

Besides, Zou Feng was genuinely interested in the ”inside story” Ding Gang mentioned.

”Spouting nonsense. You think you can fool me by just sharing some made-up story?” Zou Feng tried to provoke Ding Gang into revealing more.

Ding Gang snorted repeatedly. ”You don’t have to provoke me. Everyone knows your Biyou Palace Master is a complete lunatic.”

”Is she still dreaming her beautiful dream of ’Unity of Heaven and Man’?”

”She could have taken that step at any time, but she shamelessly dragged it out, and as a result, she drove herself mad! HAHAHA...”

Ding Gang clearly held a great deal of resentment towards the Biyou Palace Master. As they spoke, their tone was not only gloating but also filled with overwhelming hatred.

Zou Feng inevitably found these words somewhat confusing.

’But none of this has anything to do with me for now, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand.’

And while it seemed like Ding Gang was revealing secrets, it was actually all just nonsense with no real substance.

Zou Feng was well aware of this; this person was just stalling for time.

A moment later, just as he had predicted, figures began to slowly emerge from behind the many scattered boulders in the area.

Even though it was dark, Zou Feng’s vision was so sharp that he immediately saw their appearance clearly.

They weren’t living people at all, but a group of walking dead covered in inscribed talismans.

Moreover, Zou Feng could tell that these walking dead were the very men who had been harmed by Ding Gang before.

He could deduce this from their faintly discernible good looks.

After all, Zou Feng had learned from reading the Grass Thief’s case file that no matter how horribly the victims were tortured, their faces were always left intact.

Leaving these men’s handsome faces intact was clearly still useful for Ding Gang.

’For instance, they would still be pleasant to look at after being refined into Zombies.’

Zou Feng had practiced the Corpse Luo Heart Scripture but had never encountered a fellow expert in the art. He never imagined that this Ding Gang was a true all-rounder.

’Strong Five Poison Skill, strong Body Skill, and they even know Gu Planting and Corpse Refinement.’

Once the Gu Poison was cultivated and absorbed, they didn’t even let the bodies go to waste, instead refining them into Gu Corpses.

’Truly, not a single bit goes to waste.’

No wonder this person was so insistent on capturing Murong Yunhai. Recovering the Gu Poison was one thing, but if they could also refine Murong Yunhai into a Gu Corpse, he would be a massive asset.

’Now this is a true master of Gu Techniques.’

In comparison, the batch of Gu he had first raised back in Yuan Guang County was no different from child’s play.

Even his own Iron Blood Gu Poison Group, which he had later carefully cultivated with the blessing of the Wise Triple, couldn’t compare to Ding Gang’s methods.

In truth, Zou Feng was already feeling the pressure.

These Gu Corpses, which had been tortured to death and deeply implanted with Gu Poison, were by no means easy to deal with.

Almost every Gu Corpse possessed strength equivalent to the Fifth Grade.

Of course, they certainly couldn’t compare to a normal Martial Artist in terms of intelligence, and their movements in combat were not as refined as when executing a Cultivation Skill.

But while their flaws were great, their advantages were just as obvious: their bodies were as hard as steel, and they were utterly fearless of death.

If a dozen or so Gu Corpses were to swarm him now, let alone a Fourth Grade expert, even someone at the Third Grade True Qi Realm might not be able to escape unscathed.

”You’re really bold to have chased me here!”

With the Gu Corpses revealed, Ding Gang’s posture shifted to the offensive. It was only natural for them to start celebrating early.

”Honestly, I’ve taken a liking to you. Especially that Poison Skill you’ve cultivated—it’s truly not easy!” Ding Gang said regretfully.

Only a Poison Cultivator could understand the hardships of being a Poison Cultivator, especially one like Ding Gang who had reached a high Realm.

Unfortunately, Zou Feng couldn’t relate to such hardships. For him, it hadn’t been that difficult at all; he had relied entirely on the ”big brothers” on the list to take care of him.

”So I’ve decided to give you one more chance!”

”After we both swear a Heart Demon Poison Oath, we can dual cultivate. The fusion of our poisons will surely bring immense benefits. If we can cooperate through long-term dual cultivation, it’s not impossible for both of us to step into the True Qi Realm in the near future!” After speaking, Ding Gang stared at Zou Feng with a burning gaze.

To be fair, Zou Feng had to admit that what Ding Gang said made sense and was highly probable.

But the problem was, how the hell could he accept that? His tastes weren’t that extreme. He really couldn’t do it!
