I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills
Chapter 728 - 423: A Savior for Fun?There was no use blaming Ye Chenhua for his blunder now. Besides, he had been negligent himself, assuming that as long as they returned the way they came, there wouldn’t be any major problems.
"What’s wrong? What happened?" After leaping from the Flying Celestial Ship, Su Qingyu couldn’t help but ask.
"We’ve fallen into a Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivator’s trap..."
Hearing this, both Su Qingyu and Shangguan Rongrong froze, unsure of how to respond.
Although she had seen the aftermath of battles between Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators during the northern expedition, even Su Qingyu had felt that such a realm was still a distant reality for her.
’Who would have thought we’d be targeted by a Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivator now?’
’Of course, he wasn’t targeting me. He wanted to prematurely eliminate Zou Feng, the future Direct Disciple of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect...’
"That Nascent Soul Old Monster is after me. Palace Master, you and Rongrong take a detour back to the Immortal Sect first!"
Although he didn’t know when Ink Ash Abyss would discover the Flying Celestial Ship was empty, Zou Feng had to prepare for the worst.
Ink Ash Abyss’s pursuit would have nothing to do with Su Qingyu and Shangguan Rongrong, unless they were unlucky enough to run into him by chance...
’In any case, even Ye Chenhua won’t be Ink Ash Abyss’s primary target. The one he’s truly after is definitely me.’
Still, Zou Feng couldn’t figure it out. Why would Ink Ash Abyss take such a huge risk to hunt him down? What was in it for him?
’Just to eliminate a future Direct Disciple of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect early?’
’That was a plausible reason, but the problem was... it was too risky.’
This place was far from the Northern Domain, where Tribulation Cultivators gathered. It was tantamount to being deep within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s territory.
The slightest misstep, and Ink Ash Abyss would meet his end here.
In any case, the more powerful a Nascent Soul Old Monster was, the more they cherished their own life. Barring some special reason, he shouldn’t be acting like a reckless youth, suddenly getting hot-headed and insisting on taking enormous risks to achieve his goal.
As far as Zou Feng was concerned, there had to be other reasons for Ink Ash Abyss’s elaborate scheme against him...
After hearing Zou Feng out, Su Qingyu didn’t waste time with useless chatter.
While being hunted by a Nascent Soul Old Monster, her presence would only be a burden. It was better to let Zou Feng act without being held back.
Thus, she just nodded at Zou Feng and, without a moment’s hesitation, turned and left in a different direction.
Shangguan Rongrong had wanted to say something, but seeing that Su Qingyu was already leaving, she could only hurry after her.
Seeing the two women leave, Zou Feng finally unleashed his full speed and sprinted for his life.
Of course, he wasn’t running aimlessly; he had identified the general direction of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.
At the same time, he spread his Divine Sense as far as it could go, attempting to find the road that had been placed under "surveillance."
He would only be saved if he could either return to that road or enter the area covered by the Celestial Dao Cauldron.
But that was not so easy. For one, he didn’t even know how far the Flying Celestial Ship had strayed after Ye Chenhua had lost his senses.
Soon, as Zou Feng fled with all his might, more than an hour passed in a flash.
At his speed, he should have escaped quite far in that hour or so.
And throughout the entire process, nothing had happened.
Yet Zou Feng had no intention of breathing a sigh of relief.
First, he still hadn’t found the "monitored" road. Second, he was feeling an ever-growing sense of panic.
This feeling... The Nascent Soul Old Monster was definitely getting closer...
The warning on the List of Gods indicated as much.
Ink Ash Abyss’s name was flashing with increasing frequency. It would be strange if he wasn’t on the verge of catching up.
’No!’
’If this continues, I’ll be caught sooner or later.’
His Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step had yet to reach the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. It was unrealistic to rely on this Body Skill to shake off a Nascent Soul Old Monster.
’And I can’t bet on whether I can make it back to the "monitored" road in time...’
With this in mind, Zou Feng made a decisive call and prepared to try a little trickery.
The first thing he thought of was the Outer Body Incarnation that Ye Chenhua had cast while fleeing earlier.
Ye Chenhua had entered the Golden Core Realm long before Zou Feng and was considerably more experienced in all respects.
Therefore, even though he had clearly been panicking, he had still remembered to cast an Outer Body Incarnation to mislead the Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivator. That was surely not a futile gesture.
Ye Chenhua must have determined that the Outer Body Incarnation could at least confuse his opponent, even if only for a moment.
According to Zou Feng’s current understanding, the so-called Outer Body Incarnation was similar to certain Skills and Cultivation Skills that could temporarily create living Creatures. In a short time, it condensed a Spirit Body that inherited some of the user’s abilities.
Although this Spirit Body could not be maintained for long—and a Nascent Soul Cultivator would surely notice something was amiss at close range—it could, in theory, disrupt an opponent’s senses to a certain extent.
A Cultivator like Ink Ash Abyss, who had never seen him in person, would be all the more likely to be fooled by an Outer Body Incarnation.
He wasn’t asking to stall him for long. If it could just buy him a little more time, his chances of a successful escape would increase.
Although Zou Feng had never cultivated a technique to condense an Outer Body Incarnation, after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, it was a standard operation for Golden Core Realm Cultivators that he could easily deduce.
Thus, Zou Feng immediately gave it a try. By circulating the Evil Qi-Guiding Art, he soon managed to condense an Outer Body Incarnation made primarily of Evil Qi.
However, it was a last-minute effort, after all. The Outer Body Incarnation’s facial features were indistinct, and its entire body was shrouded in black Evil Qi, making it impossible to see clearly.
