Chapter 669 - 393: Superconducting Poison Magnet Cannon
Without a moment’s hesitation, Zou Feng once again put Tang Ze at the top of the list.
He bestowed upon his dear "brother" the great honor of taking the side effect of this Big Move for him.
After some preparation, Zou Feng entered the channeling phase.
Even while he was just channeling, the space around him began to tremble slightly, showing signs of imminent collapse.
Generally, such a phenomenon of space collapsing at the slightest disturbance would only appear for those who had reached the Golden Core Realm.
This alone showed that Zou Feng’s current strength indeed gave him the qualifications to challenge a Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivator.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu had a flash of inspiration. She quickly walked behind Zou Feng, sat down on the spot, and pressed her feet against his back.
Feeling the touch on his back, Zou Feng glanced over his shoulder at Su Qingyu and immediately understood her intention.
A steady stream of poison, one already incredibly compatible with Zou Feng, continuously flowed from the tip of the Prison Guard.
This was Su Qingyu contributing her own power, adding to the might of Zou Feng’s upcoming Big Move.
At the same time, by bracing Zou Feng’s back, she could also mitigate the recoil after he fired the shot, lessening the burden on him.
It had to be said, Su Qingyu’s actions were very thoughtful and would truly provide Zou Feng with a significant boost.
Although the toxicity of her own poison was no longer a match for Zou Feng’s, the Calamity Poison Body itself was a rare treasure. As her Realm increased, its truly formidable aspects would begin to bare their fangs.
The most powerful aspect of the Calamity Poison Body was, in fact, the Power of Calamity.
That’s right. Su Qingyu’s poison could not only cause direct harm but also inflict a curse-like calamity upon her target.
While the Power of Calamity couldn’t harm someone directly, it could make them unlucky.
A poison that could normally be cured might suddenly cause the victim to suffer explosive diarrhea at the critical moment of detoxification, leading to complete failure and an incredibly frustrating death.
It was foreseeable that once this Big Move, rich with the Power of Calamity, was unleashed, it would minimize the chances of any beneficial accidents occurring for the enemy.
And this kind of abstruse and mysterious ability was something Zou Feng, at least for now, couldn’t just "bump" into and acquire through his interactions with other Poison Cultivators.
Zou Feng pushed all other thoughts aside and continued to channel, his focus absolute.
This was destined to be a shot that would shake the heavens and move the gods!
Meanwhile, Tang Ze, whose body had been completely drained by the bizarre side effect, had just barely managed to recover.
And Qi Siyun, who had been implicated and almost had a breakdown, had finally emerged from the trauma and was able to interact with Tang Ze normally again.
"What’s the situation? Are we still giving chase or not?" Qi Siyun stepped forward to urge him on, but he subconsciously maintained a distance of seven paces from Tang Ze.
Tang Ze cursed, "That bitch Zi Caiyi must have lost her mind to ambush me like that. Since that damn woman violated the pact between our two sects first, she better pray I don’t run into her..."
"Let’s not jump to conclusions about whether it was Zi Caiyi. We have business to attend to!" Qi Siyun was still relatively rational, finding it hard to believe Zi Caiyi would pull such a stunt at a time like this.
Only then did Tang Ze crack his neck and stretch his limbs. "A pity about my Blackwater Serpent... Forget it. Let’s catch Zou Feng first. Let’s go!"
But just as he took a single step, his entire body froze, and his expression turned extremely strange once more.
Qi Siyun noticed something was wrong and said impatiently, "What the hell is wrong with you now?"
"I... I..." Tang Ze tried to explain, but he found that a certain part of him was rapidly swelling again, as if something was brewing inside his body and would soon reach a point where it had to be unleashed.
"That vile creature is trying to harm me again!" With a miserable howl, Tang Ze tried to control it, but he was completely unable to stop its rapid expansion.
Visually, at least, this was even more severe than the situation after his Blackwater Serpent’s tragic death.
"Tsk, you... Have you no decency!"
Qi Siyun, who had just gotten over the psychological trauma from before, now felt a wave of nausea wash over him again.
After all, judging by its appearance, the sheer volume...
After letting out a few curses, Qi Siyun’s natural reaction was to flee immediately, trying to avoid getting caught in the awkward crossfire again.
"Hey, Brother Qi, don’t go! Help me suppress it..."
Tang Ze was genuinely terrified. He felt that his impending Burst might be so powerful it would blow out his internal organs...
But how could Qi Siyun dare to stay? The mere thought of the impending scene sent a chill down his spine.
However, Qi Siyun had yet to notice that because Tang Ze had turned around to ask for help, his "cannon muzzle" was now aimed directly at him...
On the other side, Zou Feng’s long-range Big Move had also finished channeling and was on the verge of being unleashed.
Zou Feng had previously been skeptical about the power of this move, uncertain if it could truly handle a Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivator.
But now, having channeled it to this point and feeling the terrifying fluctuations emanating from his fingertip, Zou Feng’s mind was filled with a single thought: ’I will win!’
This shot was guaranteed to be a soul-piercing strike that would give one of the Tribulation Cultivators besieging Jiang Wanzhao the thrill of a lifetime!
However, Zou Feng didn’t choose his target randomly; his decision came after careful observation.
In the end, he decided to let the one controlling the dark clouds—clearly a Judge from the Yama Underworld—be the one to receive this Superconducting Poison Magnet Cannon.
The reason was that this scoundrel posed the greatest threat to Jiang Wanzhao.
In fact, it was precisely because he controlled those life-like dark clouds that he was able to trap Jiang Wanzhao, preventing her from escaping.
The moment Zou Feng locked onto this Judge, the man instantly sensed it. The hairs on his body stood on end, and he froze involuntarily.
He couldn’t help it. It was a primal fear he hadn’t felt in a very long time.
It was as if he had suddenly been targeted by some terrifying natural predator.
The Judge controlling the dark clouds was named Sun Wuhen. This pursuit of Jiang Wanzhao had already cost him a great deal, much to his chagrin.
He was chasing her so relentlessly, of course, because he coveted Jiang Wanzhao’s soul.
If he could extract Jiang Wanzhao’s soul for his own use and merge it into his Ten Thousand Souls Tribulation Clouds, then all his previous sacrifices would be worth it.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanzhao was finally on the verge of collapse. His wish was about to be granted...
’But what the hell is this feeling, like I’m being stared down by some kind of Primordial Giant Beast!?’
After a brief moment of shock, Sun Wuhen immediately realized the gravity of the situation. Without bothering to explain anything to the Immortal Official who had come to assist him, he quickly compressed and condensed the Ten Thousand Souls Tribulation Clouds around his body, activating the treasure’s strongest defensive form.
The feeling of being locked on was too clear. This meant dodging was impossible; he could only take it head-on.
’Saving my own life is what matters. Even if it means letting Jiang Wanzhao escape, there’s no other choice...’
The Ten Thousand Souls Tribulation Clouds had originally been focused on besieging Jiang Wanzhao, which made things miserable for her, as she was already at the end of her rope.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanzhao’s will was strong enough that once she realized her chances of escape were slim, she began to fight with the desperate conviction to take one of them down with her.
This, in turn, made the two Tribulation Cultivators hesitate, afraid of being taken out by the woman’s last-ditch counterattack.
Unexpectedly, the pressure from the Ten Thousand Souls Tribulation Clouds suddenly and inexplicably lessened, making Jiang Wanzhao think it was some new scheme from her enemies.
But after only a moment of confusion, a familiar aura made Jiang Wanzhao realize what was happening.
’It’s him!?’
With no time for further thought, Jiang Wanzhao mustered the last of her strength and struck out with a palm toward Sun Wuhen, who was now cloaked in the tribulation clouds.
This palm strike seemed to light the fuse of Zou Feng, this human cannon.
The Superconducting Poison Magnet Cannon condensed into a brilliant radiance at his fingertip.
The ripples from this radiance caused the surrounding space to continuously warp and collapse, until finally, the light vanished as if annihilated, and the world went dark for an instant!
BOOM—
Like a volcanic eruption, or perhaps the roar of a giant beast, a dark gray blast wreathed in an ominous, calamitous aura shot across the sky like a meteor, gone in a flash.
The Ten Thousand Souls Tribulation Clouds, compressed to their limit in their strongest defensive form, didn’t even last for a single breath before shattering.
Of course, Jiang Wanzhao’s palm strike also deserved credit for such an immediate and devastating effect.
PSHHTT!
"Ugh... Ugh..." Sun Wuhen looked down at the bloody hole in his Dantian, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.
If that blast had hit any other part of his body, he would still have been severely injured, but he definitely would have survived.
But this blast had, against all odds, struck him squarely in the Dantian!
Thinking back, it was because he had, on some strange impulse, tried to shift his body just a moment ago, only for his terrible luck to cause him to move right into the path of the attack...
