I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

”Junior Sister Jiang?”

Zou Feng stopped in his tracks and looked toward the source of the voice.

It was still a pitch-black darkness, impossible to see through.

”Brother Zou... I... I’m not going to make it...”

Jiang Xue’s voice came again, distinctly different from the cloying sounds made by the evil spirits earlier.

It was clear now, just as Zou Feng had suspected, that something had truly gone wrong.

Zou Feng hesitated for a moment before stoking his Yang Sui Fire as bright as he could, then headed toward the voice.

The lethality of the Yang Sui Fire against evil spirits had been proven multiple times on the third level of the Demon Suppression Tower.

As long as he could maintain the flame, spending some time in the dark shouldn’t be a major issue.

As the Yang Sui Fire burned fiercely, all sorts of heart-stopping howls erupted from the surroundings.

At the same time, a loud RUSTLING sound filled the air, as if a great number of things were fleeing in a panic.

After walking about a dozen steps, Zou Feng finally spotted Jiang Xue’s figure.

She was sitting cross-legged on the ground, her face contorted in pain, clearly resisting something.

”Brother Zou... Be careful... A powerful evil spirit is trying to... possess me...”

When she looked up and saw Zou Feng wreathed in Yang Sui Fire, a flicker of joy crossed Jiang Xue’s face, but she immediately issued a hurried warning.

’Possession by an evil spirit?’

’Just how badly must her Cultivation have gone awry to end up in such a terrible state?’

’It seems Jiang Xue’s earlier feeling that she had overcome her bottleneck was most likely just a delusion.’

’Perhaps because she’d been troubled by the bottleneck for so long, her mental state had become unstable long ago, allowing one or more powerful evil spirits to gradually influence her mind.’

’After being influenced for so long, she even developed the illusion that she had broken through her bottleneck. This made her even more careless, and she walked step by step into the trap the evil spirit had set for her...’

Thinking this, Zou Feng saw no reason not to help her immediately. ’A good burn with the Yang Sui Fire should be enough to free her,’ he figured.

”Stop!”

”If you don’t want to get involved, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business!”

Zou Feng paused, but no one else—human or spirit—appeared in the vicinity.

The words had come from Jiang Xue.

Her expression had suddenly changed. Her face was now savage and vicious, and she stared at Zou Feng with crimson pupils.

’So it really is possession, and a deep one at that.’

”Brother Zou... Quickly... use your... Yang Sui Fire... burn it to death...” The next moment, Jiang Xue was back to normal, but the pain on her face was even more intense.

It looked as if she could lose control at any second.

”Too late. You can’t save her anymore. Why throw your own life away?!” Jiang Xue’s pupils turned red again.

But this time, it wasn’t a vicious threat, but rather a ”kind” and bewitching attempt at persuasion.

”If you leave now, this one can promise you something you desperately need. I absolutely will not disappoint you...”

Its voice carried a powerful, bewitching force that made Zou Feng’s head grow groggy.

He subconsciously felt the urge to do as it said...

At the same time, the ”darkness” that had been driven back by the Yang Sui Fire, now seemingly under the evil spirit’s control, began to surge back like a tide, pushing right up against the flames.

”Brother Zou!”

Jiang Xue regained control of her body and shouted a hoarse warning.

Seeing the darkness about to engulf him like a tidal wave, Zou Feng quickly stomped his right foot.

Though the Yang Sui Fire had been burning brightly, it was not yet at its limit.

Now, he burned it to its absolute extreme—sacrificing life force to do so—and the flames shot ten feet high.

Of course, it was Brother Gongyang’s life he was sacrificing.

The black tide retreated once more amid piercing shrieks.

Zou Feng continued to stride forward, his voice deep. ”If you leave now, you still have time!”

”Heh heh heh... such shameless boasting! Since you’re looking to die, this one will grant your wish!”

Before the words had even faded, the evil spirit manipulated Jiang Xue’s body, lunging at Zou Feng.

Zou Feng paid no mind to such a crude and primitive attack.

The Yang Sui Fire instantly enveloped his right palm, and Zou Feng struck out with a perfectly executed blow.

”Jiang Xue” showed no fear. While still in mid-air, she suddenly used Bursting Qi.

Zou Feng had expected the creature to unleash some bizarre attack, but the Bursting Qi simply blew all of Jiang Xue’s clothes clean off.

Then, completely naked, Jiang Xue continued her suicidal lunge toward Zou Feng.

Zou Feng couldn’t help but be stunned by the evil spirit’s bizarre tactic.

But even if Jiang Xue had a great figure and smooth skin, for a man as worldly as Zou Feng, it wasn’t enough to distract him.

His Yang Sui Bursting Flame Palm still landed squarely on Jiang Xue’s chest without deviation.

”AH—”

Two pained screams erupted from Jiang Xue’s body at the same time.

It was the evil spirit and the real Jiang Xue, both crying out in agony.

Although the Yang Sui Fire continued to burn on Jiang Xue’s body, it was still unable to completely expel the evil spirit.

After screaming for a short while, ”Jiang Xue” began to cackle. ”It’s useless! This one has already merged with her. If you kill me, you kill her too!”

Zou Feng ignored the creature’s psychological warfare. Murmuring, ”Forgive me,” his palms instantly produced hundreds of afterimages that began to rapidly circle around Jiang Xue’s body.

An overwhelming torrent of palm-afterimages, all infused with Yang Sui Fire, engulfed Jiang Xue.

While this was intended to strike Jiang Xue from all angles with the Yang Sui Fire, from another perspective, it also meant he was indeed touching her all over.
