Chapter 663 - 390: Fetus-Soothing Dance
She was very curious what kind of Skill Zou Feng would use to deal with the Ninefold Celestial Court’s Immortal Official before her.
"You mentioned something about a ’Pure Land of Bliss’ just now, right?" Zou Feng asked, a look of great interest on his face.
Zi Caiyi thought Zou Feng had realized he stood no chance and, in his despair, had let his guard down and fallen for her charms.
So she nodded, lifting the hem of her skirt with a sanctimonious look. "Here," she said, "is your Pure Land of Bliss!"
"I see. Well, it’s only right to return a favor, so I’ll give you a big gift as well!"
Before his words had even faded, Zou Feng snapped his fingers symbolically.
In reality, however, he had already silently unleashed the side effect Critical Strike he had been accumulating for so long.
Zi Caiyi had been on guard against any tricks from Zou Feng, mainly to prevent her prize from slipping through her fingers.
Thus, she was sufficiently wary of his sudden snap.
But after several breaths, nothing happened. This, in turn, completely flustered Zi Caiyi.
’This boy showed up so confidently, with ’I’m going to win’ written all over his face, and this is all he’s got?’
With a couple of sneers, Zi Caiyi’s eyes filled with impatience. She waved her hand, ready to take Zou Feng down directly, no longer willing to play along with his nonsense.
But halfway through the motion, she froze, her face instantly filled with incredulous shock.
Zou Feng himself couldn’t be sure what the exact effect of a side effect Critical Strike from a Mixed Poison of two Golden Core Demon Race toxins would be.
After all, it also depended on the target’s corresponding resistance.
After the shock appeared on her face, Zi Caiyi could no longer bear it. She staggered back two steps, clutching her stomach.
’Is this... the transferred side effect Critical Strike causing excruciating pain in her stomach?’
Zou Feng and Su Qingyu stared intently, only to discover with astonishment that Zi Caiyi’s stomach was visibly and rapidly swelling, as if it were being inflated.
Seeing this, Zi Caiyi’s eyes also filled with disbelief, but the intense pain that followed made her cry out in agony.
The scene was like some small monster was inside her belly, constantly stretching its arms and legs, limbering up.
"You... what did you do... AHHH—!" Zi Caiyi cried out in both shock and pain, but she didn’t forget to hastily retreat and put distance between herself and Zou Feng.
’What kind of Evil Art is this? It actually made me as if I were nine months pregnant and about to go into labor!?’
She recalled Zou Feng saying he would give her a "big gift"...
’This gift really is big enough—he delivered a ’baby’ right into my belly!’
Suddenly encountering something so bizarre and far beyond her comprehension, all of Zi Caiyi’s previous composure vanished. In her panic-stricken state, she didn’t have the slightest trace of an Immortal Official’s grace.
But it couldn’t be helped. No one could remain calm if something suddenly started thrashing around inside their stomach for no reason.
In fact, it wasn’t just Zi Caiyi. Even Su Qingyu, standing behind Zou Feng, was aghast. She found this Skill truly incomprehensible!
She had, of course, tried to anticipate what trump card Zou Feng would use against the Immortal Official.
But she never could have predicted that this trump card would instantly turn the pursuing Immortal Official into a heavily pregnant woman on the verge of giving birth...
As for Zou Feng, the "caster" himself, he was also quite surprised.
’How could the side effect Critical Strike of this Mixed Poison have such an outrageous effect?’
After all, Zou Feng could see very clearly that this wasn’t as simple as Zi Caiyi’s stomach swelling up and causing cramps.
Instead, he could distinctly see something alive squirming ceaselessly inside her belly. That was the real reason for Zi Caiyi’s suffering.
It was highly likely that the accumulated Mixed Poison, upon bursting forth all at once, had given birth to some kind of special toxic creature.
This was similar to how a high-level Skill could temporarily create living Creatures.
And this toxic creature had then immediately, by instinct, created a suitable environment for its own gestation within Zi Caiyi’s body.
Stunned for a good while himself, Zou Feng had no choice but to turn to Su Qingyu and explain, "Uh... anyway, it’s not mine!"
"I just used a Poison Technique. Heaven knows why her stomach suddenly got big..."
Su Qingyu gave him a deep look and murmured, "A pregnancy-inducing poison... How utterly terrifying..."
"AHHH! AHH! AHH..."
Zi Caiyi’s even more blood-curdling screams interrupted Zou Feng and Su Qingyu’s banter.
She was in the Golden Core Realm, after all. She wouldn’t be defeated so easily.
Amidst her shrieks, Zi Caiyi reacted to the bizarre situation by quickly activating her Outer Alchemy Dao, urgently refining a "Fetal Protection Pill."
Of course, the so-called "fetal protection" of this thing was just to make the toxic creature in her belly "quiet down" for good.
It had to be said that the Outer Alchemy Dao truly lived up to its name as one of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills. Even in such a dreadful situation, she could still instantly perform targeted Alchemy.
As soon as the Fetal Protection Pill was formed, Zi Caiyi swallowed it without hesitation. At the same time, she launched a barrage of explosive Immortal Techniques toward Zou Feng and Su Qingyu.
After all, Zou Feng and Su Qingyu hadn’t just been standing there dumbfounded. They had already sprung into action with a certain degree of tacit understanding.
They officially started dancing, and at the same time, they truly began to operate the Xuanwu Poison Domain at its maximum power.
It was worth mentioning that the Antitoxic Pill Zi Caiyi had just refined had only countered the Poison Domain’s poison at that time.
But the toxicity of the Xuanwu Poison Domain at full power was on a completely different level compared to its "standby mode."
Zou Feng’s previous plan was now more than halfway to success. If he didn’t seize this opportunity to strike while she was weak and finish her off, when would he?
Although Zi Caiyi had managed to refine a Fetal Protection Pill to suppress the strange movements in her stomach while in dire straits...
...anyone who’s had a baby knows that even if it’s aborted, the damage to the body is still considerable. How could she possibly recover so quickly?
Next, Zou Feng and Su Qingyu danced frantically, keeping the Xuanwu Poison Domain in a constant state of overload.
Meanwhile, Zi Caiyi, having taken the Fetal Protection Pill, desperately needed to rest and recuperate.
But with the Xuanwu Poison Domain active, she couldn’t even think about "resting"!
First, there was her environment. Two madmen were dancing for their lives, churning the already thick toxic gas into an even more turbulent storm.
Then there were the "Golden Lotuses" constantly being produced by the Shaking Flower Hand. In this Black Fog-filled Poison Domain, the flickering "Golden Lotuses" were extremely dazzling. Staring at them for too long was like suffering from mental pollution; it would immediately make one’s head spin.
Furthermore, under the influence of the Poison Domain, Zi Caiyi herself couldn’t stay still. She felt an uncontrollable urge to join the wild dance.
If she were uninjured, she could naturally suppress these effects. The problem was, she was currently in an extremely weakened state.
The deadliest part was that the "toxic creature" in her belly, which hadn’t yet been completely eliminated by the Fetal Protection Pill, was also affected. It actually forced itself to start dancing inside Zi Caiyi’s stomach...
With all these unfavorable factors piling up, one could only imagine Zi Caiyi’s current agony.
Not far away, Zou Feng was going all out. He successively applied various buffs like Nine Dragon Power, all to present Zi Caiyi with a shockingly heart-wrenching dance.
Su Qingyu, naturally, held nothing back either, dancing so hard it looked like she might fling her legs off.
However, even as the situation grew more and more favorable, Zou Feng became aware of the Xuanwu Poison Domain’s biggest weakness.
No matter how joyously the people inside it danced, it was still missing a crucial element: there was no background music.
Without music, the dance moves could not be performed to their full potential.
Therefore, if he could fix this shortcoming, the power of the Xuanwu Poison Domain could be raised to another level!
’Maybe I should try to put together a band?’
As they frantically tormented Zi Caiyi, no other complications arose. A Golden Core Realm Immortal Official was on the verge of being tortured to death.
To prevent any unforeseen problems, Zou Feng swallowed another External Pill, then pushed himself to the point of coughing up blood to unleash the Evil King’s Prison-Quelling Kill.
The greatest strength of this move, the Evil King’s Prison-Quelling Kill, was not its overwhelming Palm Force, but its ability to detonate the entire Poison Domain, forcing the opponent to take the full brunt of the blast.
