I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Chapter 464 - 291: Bonus Reward

Zou Feng’s reminder for everyone to stay calm and wait did little to bolster their morale.

The Centipede Monster’s Frenzy, the sudden collapse of the defensive line, and Zhu Hongyu’s hysterical rebukes were all pushing them toward a total party wipe.

Panic was the most contagious of all emotions.

Although a few resolute disciples were still trying to turn the tide, they couldn’t contend with the majority, who now only wanted to flee.

In short, the well-established formation completely collapsed, and the scene devolved into a chaotic free-for-all.

Fortunately, the Centipede Monster’s primary target was Zou Feng, whom it wanted to swallow whole as quickly as possible. So, despite the chaos, the casualties weren’t severe.

At this point, Zou Feng was also starting to panic.

’Though I’m confident in the poison I specifically concocted for it, can I really last until it takes full effect?’

The True Man State had long been active, and he was pushing the Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step to its absolute limit...

But even so, as he fled, Zou Feng was nearly snagged by the Centipede Monster’s pincers.

His True Qi was rapidly depleting, and the True Man State was about to expire, yet the Centipede Monster still showed no sign of being poisoned.

Zou Feng knew he couldn’t go on like this. He acted decisively, mustering his remaining strength to make the black dragon of Evil Qi manifest on his right arm.

The next moment, he whipped around with a "Turn Around and Grab" and unleashed the "Evil Flame Black Dragon Wave."

A deafening draconic roar echoed out, momentarily drowning out the Centipede Monster’s frenzied shrieks.

The sheer intimidating force of the Black Dragon Wave actually stunned the Centipede Monster for a brief moment, its massive body visibly faltering.

Zou Feng seized the opportunity to execute a "Drunken Immortal Tumble," scrambling and rolling his way into the group of disciples that was still putting up a fight.

"What are you all gawking at? Attack! This beast can’t hold out for much longer!" Zou Feng roared.

After all, the Centipede Monster was a large-scale Alien Race that, in theory, required the combined effort of several hundred Outer Disciples to defeat. It was not something Zou Feng could handle in a one-on-one fight at his current level.

Even with a custom-made poison working at full effect, it would have been impossible to kill it outright.

Amidst a terrifying explosion, the Flames of Evil Qi bursting from the Black Dragon Wave engulfed the Centipede Monster’s entire head.

The Centipede Monster immediately howled in agony, its massive body thrashing wildly.

However, its thrashing didn’t last long.

A moment later, the Centipede Monster’s body froze, as if suddenly held in place by some unknown force.

Then, its body began to tremble violently, and its enormous head slammed quivering onto the ground.

At the same time, a dark green, foul-smelling liquid streamed continuously from its mouth.

Ordinary poisons had no effect on this creature, but the one Zou Feng had specifically concocted was its bane.

Now, between Zou Feng’s poison, his Black Dragon Wave, and the continuous attacks from the other Outer Disciples, the Centipede Monster had finally suffered a grievous blow.

All the previously accumulated damage, triggered by the poison, erupted in a single Burst.

Although Zou Feng played a massive role in this outcome, it was not, of course, an effect he could have produced on his own.

In the eyes of the others, however, it seemed as if Zou Feng had charged up a Big Move and single-handedly struck down the giant Centipede Monster with a dragon of Evil Qi, turning the tide of battle all by himself.

"Keep attacking! Don’t let it recover!"

At that moment, Zou Feng had effectively taken over command from Zhu Hongyu, reminding the others who were still frozen in place, utterly stunned by the result.

Everyone finally snapped back to their senses and rejoined the fray.

But the rest of the work was merely kicking the Centipede Monster while it was down, taking advantage of the fact that the poison had temporarily paralyzed it.

With no need to worry about anything else, free to just stand there and wail on the monster, every member of the team fought like a pro, clearly enjoying themselves.

At the same time, the way they looked at Zou Feng was completely different than before.

This included Zhu Hongyu.

’Even she had never witnessed someone grievously wound a large-scale Alien Race single-handedly in such a short amount of time during a group-battle monthly test.’

’And that Evil Qi Bombardment just now... If that had hit me, or if Zou Feng had secretly poisoned me...’

Zhu Hongyu’s previously arrogant and defiant expression had vanished without a trace.

Now, her expression was as foul as it could possibly be.

And so, after a lively round of everyone just standing and unleashing damage, the Centipede Monster was ultimately unable to get back up.

It was thoroughly and ignominiously slain.

Seeing the Centipede Monster go completely still, the disciples looked at one another in disbelief.

After all, this monthly test—a group battle against a large-scale Alien Race—had ended far too quickly and far too easily.

For the disciples who had been through this kind of monthly test before, the whole thing felt surreal.

Soon, many people’s gazes once again converged on Zou Feng.

No one could deny it: they had only been able to get carried to such an easy victory because of Zou Feng.

Zou Feng ignored the complex gazes from those around him, instead focusing on recovering his spent energy.

’I’m a little worried the examiners might think this test was too easy and throw another large-scale Alien Race at us for a second round.’

Meanwhile, Zhu Hongyu was also receiving a great deal of attention.

But the attention she received consisted mostly of gloating stares.

The meaning behind those stares couldn’t have been more obvious: ’You dared to provoke someone like that?’

’Sure, you, Zhu Hongyu, are a member of the Tianxiang Association. But how much pull can a mere Outer Disciple have in an organization like that?’

’When the higher-ups at the Tianxiang Association hear about this, they’ll probably make you strip bare and go groveling for forgiveness just to avoid any unnecessary trouble...’
