I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

”If a situation like that happens again, that Poison Force could really save my life!” Qin Fengwu said, still shaken.

This was the truth. If Zou Feng hadn’t taken precautions against Qin Fengwu causing trouble and acted beforehand, Guang Tianhua wouldn’t have been taken down by a sneak attack, and Qin Fengwu would definitely be dead as a doornail by now.

But since Qin Fengwu had asked for it again, Zou Feng granted her wish.

He reached out again, placing his palm on Qin Fengwu’s shoulder.

Since he didn’t need to be as secretive as before, Zou Feng naturally increased the amount he infused this time.

After increasing the dose, she seemed unable to bear it. Qin Fengwu couldn’t help but cry out strangely, ”It’s... it’s too much... Ohohohoh...”

Seeing this, Zou Feng quickly withdrew his hand.

But a closer look at Qin Fengwu’s expression revealed that she was deliberately putting on an act.

”Alright, alright, let’s get back to business!” With that, he turned and walked away.

Qin Fengwu quickly hurried to follow him.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The place where Guang Tianhua had met his end received another uninvited guest.

Following the Purple Cloud Association’s special marker, Kong Shuo, who was tracking Zou Feng, scanned his surroundings like a falcon searching for prey.

He had long since reviewed all the intelligence on Zou Feng and knew he was a master of the Poison Dao.

Analyzing the traces of battle at the scene and the lingering auras, he deduced that Zou Feng had been in a fierce fight here.

But why was the one lying on the ground, dead with his eyes wide open, Guang Tianhua of all people!?

Of course, Kong Shuo knew Guang Tianhua. While they weren’t close, they were both prodigies on the potential rankings and had crossed paths more than once.

Yet here Guang Tianhua was, having died a truly miserable death.

He took out his Token and checked Zou Feng’s ranking.

As expected, he had already reached eleventh place.

With that, Kong Shuo immediately pieced together most of what had happened.

It was nothing more than Zou Feng and Guang Tianhua coming into conflict because they both wanted the points for killing the King-level Snake-man.

And then Guang Tianhua got himself killed!

’He can even kill a prodigy from the potential rankings?’

’This is getting more and more interesting, more and more challenging...’

Licking his lips, Kong Shuo’s killing intent burned even brighter.

Originally, he had accepted this commission from the Purple Cloud Association to earn some Immortal Fate on the side.

But seeing events unfold far beyond his expectations, Kong Shuo’s playful side emerged, and he became even more eager to test his strength against Zou Feng.

After all, the kid had only been in the Immortal Sect for a little over a month, yet he already possessed such strength.

’Given time, what would he become?’

No wonder he was brazen enough to challenge the Purple Cloud Association. He clearly had some real skill.

It was a shame, though. No matter how limitless his potential or promising his future, once he fell prematurely, he would be nothing!

And if he were to nip such a hidden dragon in the bud, it would be like absorbing the kid’s fortune.

That was far more interesting and profitable than just earning a bit more Immortal Fate.

At this thought, Kong Shuo’s earlier fanaticism returned to his face.

Like a complete lunatic, he giggled and laughed as he resumed his pursuit of Zou Feng.

As for Guang Tianhua’s fate...

To him, Guang Tianhua was only ranked 404th—far below him. He couldn’t care less.

After continuing the chase for about the time it takes to eat a meal, a valley with exceptionally dense vegetation appeared in the distance.

Even though Kong Shuo was still some distance from the valley, he could see and hear an extremely fierce battle taking place deep within it.

This wasn’t a one-on-one duel like the one between Zou Feng and Guang Tianhua. It was clearly a chaotic melee involving many people.

No, it wasn’t just people. Many powerful King-level members of the Alien Race were also fighting for their lives.

Without a doubt, the valley housed a large-scale Alien Race nest.

And many disciples had discovered this prime spot for grinding points.

The Outer Disciples who first discovered this treasure trove had joined forces to start clearing out the Alien Race nest.

The Alien Race here was resisting fiercely, likely because they had many King-level members and thought they stood a chance.

The commotion from the large-scale battle was immense, gradually attracting more and more disciples.

As more people arrived, the battle naturally grew more chaotic.

After all, it was inevitable that people would get caught up in snatching points from each other.

And so, a massive free-for-all began.

By now, it had escalated to the point where the entire valley was on the verge of being flattened.

Kong Shuo knew that Zou Feng had most likely joined the fray, so after a sinister smile, he prepared to speed up and charge in.

But he hadn’t been sprinting for long when a familiar figure came into view.

”Fan Linyuan?”

The one approaching was none other than Fan Linyuan, a man Kong Shuo had once shared drinks with, who was ranked 324th on the potential rankings.

But right now, Fan Linyuan looked utterly wretched. Not only was he injured, but his face was also tinged with green—he was clearly afflicted with some kind of Exotic Poison.

”Brother Fan, what happened?” Kong Shuo flashed forward, blocking Fan Linyuan’s path.

Fan Linyuan, already in a state of panic, was startled.

”Ah, it’s Brother Kong... Ugh, we can talk about this later. I’ve been badly poisoned and need to find a secluded place to detoxify immediately!”

”Farewell!”

As he spoke, he hastily dodged around Kong Shuo and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Since he was about to catch up to Zou Feng, Kong Shuo naturally had no reason to chase after Fan Linyuan. He simply cursed, ”Useless,” and continued toward the valley.

And along the way, he would occasionally see people breaking away from the battle and fleeing miserably.

Soon, after Fan Linyuan, another significant disciple appeared in Kong Shuo’s line of sight.

Su Ling, ranked 291st on the Outer Sect potential rankings.

Right now, Su Ling’s face was completely black, and dark fluid occasionally trickled from the corner of her mouth. She was clearly severely poisoned as well.

Seeing this, Kong Shuo finally couldn’t hold back any longer. He stepped forward to block Su Ling and ask what was going on.

Su Ling was extremely impatient and just wanted to flee, but seeing that it was the equally formidable Kong Shuo, she forced herself to calm down.

”Brother Kong, there’s a kid who practices a Poison Skill, and he’s just too damn bizarre!”

”He’s turned the depths of the valley into a Poison Domain. I... I unwittingly fell into his trap...”

”With such an unfathomable Poison Skill, that kid is probably qualified to enter the top one hundred of the potential rankings. I... PWAA—”

As she spoke, Su Ling suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

If Kong Shuo hadn’t been on guard, he likely would have been drenched in it.

”I... must... must be going now. Brother Kong, be extremely careful... Hehehehe...”

After vomiting blood, Su Ling started laughing uncontrollably again.

It wasn’t that she was genuinely happy; the poison was acting up, making it impossible for her to control her emotions.

Watching the once-graceful Su Ling flee miserably like a madwoman, Kong Shuo, who had already been striding forward, finally hesitated.

The kid who practiced the Poison Skill that both Fan Linyuan and Su Ling had mentioned—who else could it be but Zou Feng?

Although those two hadn’t died on the spot like Guang Tianhua, the sight of them fleeing in such a wretched, terrified state finally made Kong Shuo feel that something was very wrong.

’True, none of these figures from the potential rankings would be his match in a one-on-one fight.’

’But to fight three such people in quick succession, on top of those King-level Alien Race members and the exhaustion from a massive melee...’

’Even he couldn’t say for sure that he could have done better than Zou Feng.’

The fanatical, maniacal expression on Kong Shuo’s face vanished, replaced by a look of solemn gravity.

Before, he had found the target Zou Feng to be interesting and challenging.

Now, however, it wasn’t so interesting anymore.

’Thinking about it, is it really worth it to make an enemy of this guy, who’s just wrong in every way, all for a few hundred Immortal Fate?’

’If I fail to kill Zou Feng this time and he escapes, will I have any peaceful days left in the future?’

’It’s not worth it!’

’Boring!’

Kong Shuo cooled down rapidly, as if he’d suddenly entered a state of post-nut clarity, his previous frenzy completely gone.

A moment later, he took out his Token again and checked the point rankings.

At this moment, Zou Feng’s name was now glaringly in seventh place.

After staring at the ranking for a moment, Kong Shuo gave a dry laugh. He then gave a thumbs-up toward the depths of the valley before turning without hesitation and heading in the opposite direction.
