Chapter 670 - 394: An Excellent Gunstock?
Just as Zou Feng had predicted, it was a one-shot kill, taking out a Judge.
This result was certainly helped by Jiang Wanzhao’s palm strike, but the main factor was the sheer power of the superconducting electromagnetic cannon.
Its power, toxicity, and the Power of Calamity provided by Su Qingyu were all integrated into it to the greatest possible extent.
Of course, as Zou Feng landed his one-shot kill, the current number one on the leaderboard, Tang Ze, had also achieved a similar result.
Due to its side effects, Tang Ze had no choice but to unleash the Big Move he had been forced to hold in for so long.
And since it just so happened to be aimed at Qi Siyun, he once again took the full brunt of it.
The psychological trauma Qi Siyun had worked so hard to suppress was instantly triggered again.
His subsequent, bloodcurdling scream could be heard clearly even from miles away...
This time, Qi Siyun completely snapped. Having lost all reason, he began to suspect that Tang Ze was probably doing it on purpose.
’All that nonsense about some Zicai Yi secretly casting a spell on him, making him lose control of his body—it’s all bullshit!’
’Fucking twice in a row! Both times, I got a face full of it. How could it be such a coincidence?’
’Especially this last time! I even flew far away in advance, just to avoid getting hit. But Tang Ze’s attack was even faster than him casting a Skill, making it impossible to defend against!’
’That son of a bitch must have suddenly developed some extremely low-brow, twisted hobby, and he’s using me to get his kicks!’
Although Qi Siyun’s conclusion was mainly due to having lost his mind, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
After all, which Tribulation Cultivator from the Yama Underworld didn’t have a few screws loose?
And even if they seemed fine for now, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t suddenly have a relapse.
Therefore, Qi Siyun was now truly convinced that Tang Ze was just putting on an act to satisfy his newly awakened, twisted tastes.
"Tang, you did that on purpose!?"
After furiously scrubbing his entire body with a water-type Skill, Qi Siyun practically roared his accusation at Tang Ze.
At that moment, Tang Ze’s body was once again completely drained. He was collapsed on the ground in a state of blissful emptiness, his mind blank, with no desire to focus on anything.
Startled by Qi Siyun’s accusation, he could only stare back, dumbfounded.
Seeing him still playing innocent, especially after the look of satisfied relief on his face just a moment ago, a malicious fury surged within Qi Siyun.
’Thinking back on it, every time I got hit, that bastard Tang Ze had a fleeting look of schadenfreude and was clearly struggling to hold back his laughter!’
"Fuck you!"
With an enraged shout, Qi Siyun flicked his wrist and sent a Magical Treasure chain flying toward Tang Ze.
"Ah... Brother Qi, what are you doing!?" Tang Ze hurriedly forced himself out of his sage-like state and scrambled to his feet to run. "It’s a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! I was really ambushed..."
Even Zou Feng himself had no idea that the two top-ranked powerhouses, who could have caused him immense trouble, had been driven to fight amongst themselves.
Forget about continuing to hunt him down; he’d be lucky if the two of them didn’t beat each other to a bloody pulp.
Meanwhile, Zou Feng, having poured everything into that one Big Move, was completely exhausted. He too could only collapse where he stood and hurriedly try to recover his energy.
"My leg is broken..."
Su Qingyu, who had taken the recoil from the blast, frowned and withdrew the prison guard that had been braced against Zou Feng’s back.
The recoil from the blast had been too immense; even with Su Qingyu’s physical resilience, she couldn’t withstand it.
Fortunately, for a Dao Foundation Realm Cultivator, a broken bone wasn’t a major injury. After taking the right Elixirs and meditating for a while, she would be fine.
Just then, Zou Feng finally managed to catch his breath and immediately turned to check on Su Qingyu’s injuries.
If Su Qingyu hadn’t been there to absorb part of the recoil, the power concentrated at his fingertip might not have been fully focused on one point.
So, Su Qingyu acting as a "gun stock"—or perhaps a cannon mount—was quite necessary.
But the thought of the term "gun stock," which aptly described their current relationship in many ways, made Zou Feng unable to hold back a smile.
"What are you smiling about?" Su Qingyu keenly noticed the curve of Zou Feng’s lips.
Zou Feng froze for a second, then coughed. "I just thought of something funny..."
Feeling that something was off, Su Qingyu was about to ask more, but Zou Feng had already shot up into the air, clearly intending to clean up the mess.
With Sun Wuhen’s Dantian pierced, the outcome was entirely predictable.
The other Immortal Official who had come to help saw what happened and didn’t dare to linger, making a very decisive escape.
It was only natural. His Fellow Daoist, also at the Golden Core Realm, had just dropped dead for no apparent reason. Who could handle that?
Besides, even though Jiang Wanzhao was on the verge of complete exhaustion, she might still have the strength to hold on for a little longer.
So, if he were to be held up by Jiang Wanzhao, and then that unbelievable long-range Skill hit him again...
In short, there was no need to hesitate. He couldn’t risk it, so running away was the right choice.
Seeing the Immortal Official flee, Jiang Wanzhao, despite her proud stance in the air, could only watch him go.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take down the Immortal Official; she simply couldn’t.
Even just hovering in the air like this was an immense strain for Jiang Wanzhao.
"Senior Sister Jiang!"
As Zou Feng flew up, he also caught Sun Wuhen’s body as it fell from the sky.
The man was completely dead, leaving behind nothing but the valuable corpse of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.
Hearing Zou Feng’s voice from behind her and seeing the fleeing Immortal Official disappear over the horizon, Jiang Wanzhao finally relaxed her guard slightly.
