Chapter 193 - 155: A New Big Brother Makes the List

"Zou Lang, that Poison Scorpion... it’s terrifyingly powerful!"

"Are you sure you’ll be fine if you use its poison?"

During the pursuit, Tian Yun couldn’t help but voice her concerns.

’Taking down a Biyou Palace disciple later on shouldn’t be too difficult, from the looks of it.’

’Since he doesn’t know we’re chasing him, he won’t be traveling at full speed, nor will he be deliberately trying to cover his tracks.’

’In other words, it’s only a matter of time before we catch up to him.’

That was why Tian Yun felt that intercepting the vial of venom was practically a sure thing.

Zou Feng casually replied, "It’s fine. When I use poisons to practice my skills, I don’t necessarily have to ingest them. To be honest, even I wouldn’t dare to consume this Scorpion Poison..."

He was telling the truth. It was a poison that could make his heart race and his head spin just by looking at it. Even with his ace in the hole to fall back on, Zou Feng wouldn’t dare to rashly ingest it.

After all, while he could transfer the side effects during his cultivation, he couldn’t be cultivating 24/7.

If the Scorpion Poison’s effects lasted too long, he would be completely screwed.

After pursuing at full speed, it wasn’t long before the Biyou Palace disciple’s figure came into view in the distance...

This Biyou Palace disciple not only wore a strange and gaudy outfit, but also had a simple, sketch-like scorpion tattooed on the left side of his forehead.

Generally speaking, dressing so ostentatiously—much like the bright colors of many poisonous creatures—was a clear sign that he was a Poison Cultivator.

This Tattooed Scorpion Man was focused on his journey. Used to running rampant on Qifeng Mountain, his guard wasn’t fully up.

Suddenly, he glimpsed an unfamiliar figure up ahead.

This stranger was only a Seventh Grade, and he seemed to have just been in a fight. Faint traces of poisonous gas still lingered around him.

An intruder on Qifeng Mountain, a Poison Cultivator, hunting Demon Beasts all over the place...

As the Tattooed Scorpion Man quickly processed these facts, he naturally arrived at the most logical conclusion.

’This person must be the bastard who ruined our Gu!’

’Even if I’m wrong, it doesn’t matter. Anyone who intrudes on our "Gu field" must be captured.’

"Stop! What are you doing here?!" the Tattooed Scorpion Man shouted sternly as he accelerated.

As a Sixth Grade Gang Qi Realm Martial Artist, he naturally didn’t take a Seventh Grade seriously. His shout was merely to intimidate the man and make the capture less work.

Unexpectedly, instead of being intimidated, the man looked terrified and bolted.

This wasn’t entirely outside the Tattooed Scorpion Man’s expectations, but it greatly annoyed him. After all, now he had to waste more energy on a chase.

’Running?’

"Let’s see where you think you can run!"

Cursing furiously, the Tattooed Scorpion Man flung out his hand, unleashing a web-shaped blast of Gang Qi.

The man currently fleeing in "terror" was, of course, Zou Feng, who had already caught up to the Tattooed Scorpion Man and circled around to get ahead of him.

’Although it wouldn’t be hard to take down this Biyou Palace disciple with Tian Yun’s help, it’s always better to be cautious.’

’Putting on a little show to lure him into a trap is a much safer bet.’

’As for this airborne Gang Qi Spider Web, dodging it with the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step is no problem at all.’

Moreover, since executing the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step made one resemble a staggering drunk, he could confuse his opponent even while successfully dodging.

Sure enough, when the Tattooed Scorpion Man saw Zou Feng dodge with such a comical movement, he didn’t sense anything amiss. Instead, he burst out laughing.

Still cursing, the Tattooed Scorpion Man shot out four more Gang Qi Spider Webs in quick succession.

These four webs effectively sealed off Zou Feng’s four possible escape routes.

Under normal circumstances, there was no way a Seventh Grade Martial Artist could dodge all of them.

"Go on and dodge! Dodge again! If you can dodge this, I’ll eat my..."

The Tattooed Scorpion Man’s taunt was cut short as his eyes went wide. He couldn’t force out the rest of his vow.

Because every single Gang Qi Spider Web had missed.

And though Zou Feng still looked pathetic, the fact remained that not a single strand of the Gang Qi Spider Webs had touched him.

This development made the pursuing Tattooed Scorpion Man freeze for a moment, an awkward expression creeping onto his face.

But after the embarrassment, he would certainly reassess Zou Feng’s strength and realize something was wrong.

However, that momentary lapse was all it took to bring about a fatal consequence.

Tian Yun, who had been lying in ambush nearby, keenly caught the Tattooed Scorpion Man’s lapse and burst out from behind a tree, almost completely silent.

She threw a punch aimed straight for the Tattooed Scorpion Man’s face.

Even after advancing to the Gang Qi Realm, Tian Yun’s moves weren’t overly flashy.

There were no dazzling special effects to accompany it.

But as her fist shot through the air, a terrifying CRACK, like space itself collapsing, echoed around the Tattooed Scorpion Man. Simultaneously, an invisible wave of Gang Qi detonated right in front of his face.

Caught off guard, he instinctively activated his Gang Qi Body Protection, but the Tattooed Scorpion Man still cried out in pain, heavily injured.

Crying out in pain, the Tattooed Scorpion Man fell back, continuously swinging his arms to release a swarm of fingernail-sized poison spiders from his sleeves.

Tian Yun had intended to press her advantage, but upon seeing the dense swarm of poisonous creatures, she was overcome with revulsion and chose to dodge instead.

This was, in fact, the right choice. After all, who knew if those tiny spiders could penetrate her Gang Qi Body Protection.

When fighting a Poison Cultivator, one could never be too careful.

This, however, naturally gave the Tattooed Scorpion Man a moment to catch his breath.

Once he recovered, he planned to unleash his true killing move and use a Secret Skill to call for reinforcements.

Unfortunately for him, Zou Feng had no intention of giving him that chance.
