I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Their sheer numbers were one thing, but the real problem was the toxic gas they released. At first, no one felt its effects.

Protected by their True Qi or Spiritual Qi, they seemed to have no trouble resisting the toxic fumes.

But as time wore on, all sorts of problems began to surface.

The poison would steadily accumulate, its effects growing more severe.

Even a barrier of Spiritual Qi couldn’t completely block the ant monsters’ venom.

As a result, not long after the battle began, many Outer Sect disciples started to feel dizzy, their legs growing weak.

Soon after, even the Inner Sect disciples felt their Spiritual Qi draining at an alarming rate, and a sense of fatigue had already set in.

Of course, those like Zhao Qian, who was at the Dao Foundation Realm, and Poison Cultivators like Zou Feng were completely unaffected, still brimming with energy.

In fact, Zou Feng wasn’t just full of energy; he was on an absolute roll, his performance nothing short of ferocious.

For him, the ant monsters’ poison actually had a beneficial effect.

The more he inhaled, the more energized and invigorated he became.

After the Refinement of the toxic gas, it even enhanced his Spiritual Qi. He had been fighting this whole time with what was essentially zero consumption.

While enjoying himself, Zou Feng didn’t forget to cure the poison for Gongsun Jinghong, Qiu Lan, Leng Jing, and the others.

With a casual wave of his hand, he would absorb and refine the poison, ensuring those around him remained unaffected.

As for Teng County, being a Poison Cultivator herself, the poison had a negligible effect on her.

”Maintain formation! Retreat for now!”

They had been fighting for some time, but the number of ant monsters showed no sign of dwindling. On the contrary, many disciples on their side were already struggling to hold on. Zhao Qian knew they couldn’t drag this out any longer and had no choice but to order a retreat.

Retreating was one thing, but would these members of the Alien Race really let them escape so easily?

They had encountered almost no serious resistance on their way here; it had all been a ploy to lure them deeper into a trap.

Now, it was time to spring it.

And so, just as everyone prepared to retreat on Zhao Qian’s command, they discovered a dense swarm of ant monsters appearing behind them.

What’s more, mixed in among them were even larger, scorpion-like poisonous creatures.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian cursed loudly, then roared, ”Don’t panic! I’ve already notified nearby teams for support! Hold the line!”

He said that, but it was unlikely other teams had the luxury to rush to their aid.

And even if they did, they might not make it in time...

But with no escape route, their only option was to fight for their lives.

They were all Cultivators; it was impossible for them not to have a few life-saving tricks up their sleeves.

The situation hadn’t been critical before, so many had been holding back.

But now, they could no longer afford to reserve their strength.

As everyone began to unleash their trump cards, the situation surprisingly improved, stabilizing for the moment.

But this state of affairs couldn’t possibly last.

The deadliest problem was the poison released by the ant monsters, which continued to corrode everyone’s bodies.

Once the poison accumulated to a certain point and a full-blown Burst occurred, it was only a matter of time before their defensive line collapsed.

Zou Feng, of course, saw this.

’If the whole team gets wiped out, there’s no way I’m surviving this on my own.’

Fortunately, his body had already finished analyzing the toxic gas from the ant monsters.

It immediately began to produce the corresponding antidote.

”Focus on the enemy, everyone! I’ll handle the poison!” Zou Feng had no intention of being an unsung hero. He also wanted to prevent the Seven Fairy Sisters from seizing the chance to cause unnecessary trouble, so he made his intentions clear with a loud announcement.

With that, he darted into the most crowded part of the group and began to frantically perform his Shaking Flower Hand.

As he moved through a series of mesmerizing Flower Hand gestures, a large amount of ”dust” formed from special Spiritual Qi began to permeate the air.

This ”dust” was, of course, the antidote Zou Feng had created.

Upon inhaling the antidote, the disciples were instantly revitalized. The listlessness caused by the poison vanished in a flash.

Not only that, but they felt as invigorated as if they had taken a powerful restorative Elixir. They were fired up!

Just moments before, everyone had been fighting a losing battle under a debuff.

But now, they were all buffed. With this swing, the situation was instantly reversed.

The scene, however, looked somewhat comical.

It was uncannily similar to the time at the Glazed Immortal Palace, where Zou Feng had ”danced” with his frantic Shaking Flower Hand technique while everyone else fought with ever-increasing valor.

Even the Core Disciple Zhao Qian, who hadn’t been poisoned, felt empowered after inhaling the ”dust.”

He acted decisively, breaking away from the group and flying toward the location of the scorpion-like monsters.

His intention was clearly to cut the head off the snake.

However, the Alien Race had the exact same idea.

The moment Zhao Qian flew out from the group, a winged, fiery-red ant monster appeared from nowhere and shot straight for Zou Feng.

Their Spiritual Wisdom was clearly high; they had identified Zou Feng as the one curing the other Cultivators.

Without the advantage of their poison, annihilating this group of Cultivators would not be so easy.

Thus, this exceptionally powerful ”assassin” launched a targeted strike against Zou Feng.

The creature’s attack was too sudden. Zou Feng, distracted by the continuous motion of his Shaking Flower Hand, realized something was wrong only when it was already too late to dodge.

’Iron Block! Gang!’

His Tribulation-Indestructible Body had long since gone from Extraordinary to Saint, and having integrated Evil Qi, it had formed the Gang Sha Body.

The next moment, a sharp CRACK echoed.

The fiery-red ant assassin’s two pairs of mandibles shattered on impact. Its head then slammed into him and was crushed out of shape. Ultimately, it had failed to pierce Zou Feng’s ”armor.”

Zou Feng flicked out a palm strike, blowing the red ant monster to pieces.

He quickly sensed that the juices from the exploded red ant monster could be beneficial, so he hurriedly absorbed them for Refinement.

’It’s a shame. Even after Refinement, this little bit of venom isn’t enough...’

’Huh!?’

The thought that there wasn’t enough venom had barely crossed Zou Feng’s mind when several more red ant assassins struck at him from various cunning angles.

Seeing this, Zou Feng was not alarmed but overjoyed.

However, the enemy was clearly determined to stop him from curing the others. These targeted attacks would now be relentless.

Therefore, Zou Feng couldn’t just stand there like a fool. He began to weave and dodge through the crowd to avoid being targeted by too many ant assassins at once.

After all, even the Tribulation-Indestructible Body wasn’t without its costs. If he took too many hits, his energy would eventually falter.

Yet, whenever he had a spare moment, he would quickly perform a few Flower Hand gestures, continuing to pump up his fellow disciples.

’Besides,’ he thought, ’it’s time to clean up some unstable elements...’

Throughout the entire battle with the Alien Race, Zou Feng had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Seven Fairy Sisters.

Because of this, he noticed them stealing glances in his direction several times, clearly looking for an opportunity to make their move.

They became particularly restless after he was attacked by the red ant monster.

’To be scheming against me at a time like this... their stupidity leaves me speechless.’

’Fine. I’ll just have to send these ladies on their way as soon as possible!’

’I don’t have time to ”train” them with side effects right now, but in the chaos of battle, accidents are bound to happen...’

”Senior Sister, look out!”

Seeing one of the Seven Fairy Sisters being attacked from both front and back, Zou Feng shouted a warning as he rushed over to ”rescue” her.

But in doing so, he also led the swarm of red ant assassins that were relentlessly targeting him right to her.

Although these red ant monsters were focused on assassinating Zou Feng, they wouldn’t just ignore others in their path.

As a result, the ranked senior sister’s situation didn’t improve with Zou Feng’s ”help”—it became much, much worse.

Zou Feng seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, performing his Shaking Flower Hand up close to the senior sister.

His Shaking Flower Hand could cure poison, but his true specialty was releasing it.

Since Zou Feng had been helping everyone by curing the poison, his act of poisoning now was all the more covert.

And so, this ranked sister, who was already struggling to hold on, was suddenly overcome with that same embarrassing sensation from before—the feeling that something was about to burst out of her.

”Ah—”

In that moment of distraction, a red ant monster bit her squarely. Blood and other fluids burst forth like a broken dam.
