Chapter 83: Old Demon Gu’s Surprise
“Diamond talisman!”
Zhou Feng activated the diamond talisman that he had been holding tightly, and a golden light barrier instantly enveloped him.
He blocked the Purple Jade Bell’s attack.
This was his spoils of war from before, and it was also Jiang Jing’s life-saving trump card.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jing had underestimated Zhou Feng too much, so he hadn’t used the diamond talisman until the end.
Thus, it had become Zhou Feng’s trump card.
After blocking this final counterattack, he immediately summoned his splitting ax and slashed at Han Qi’s neck.
“AH!”
The intense pain combined with the effects of various aphrodisiacs caused Han Qi to fall into a state of confusion.
Zhou Feng slashed at his neck continuously, yet Han Qi only let out a few instinctive screams.
Han Qi really didn’t understand why the final outcome was like this since he had the upper hand. Why was Zhou Feng not poisoned? Could it be that his poisons were fake?
At that moment, Han Qi’s face was flushed, his mouth was muttering, while his hands were caressing Zhou Feng willfully.
Liu Yan’s aphrodisiacs were quite fierce. Even a Soul Altar cultivator like Han Qi couldn’t resist.
‘I can’t speak! I get discouraged when I speak!’
Zhou Feng’s entire body was hot, but he held back and didn’t speak. He chopped at Han Qi’s neck until it was severed.
He was finally dead!
The anger in his heart instantly dissipated upon seeing Han Qi’s head was chopped off.
Zhou Feng had almost lost himself, but fortunately, he could still barely hold on.
He took a bunch of pills out of his storage bag and kept stuffing them into his mouth.
At the same time, he urged the Demon-Devouring Gu to help heal himself.
After being refined into his Vital Gu, the Demon-Devouring Gu was much more obedient. It was not like before.
Soon, a torrent of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi coursed through his body. His Self-Healing Constitution and Unyielding Heart also allowed Zhou Feng’s injuries to recover swiftly. Adding on the Demon-Devouring Gu’s active cooperation, Zhou Feng soon felt that he could stand up.
During this period, the Heaven-Sealing Formation’s effect had come to an end.
Zhou Feng was finally able to take some time to clean the battlefield and check what he had gained.
When Han Qi died, the Stealth-Venom Gu also lost its lifeforce, and what remained of it now was a carcass. This was a Soul Altar Gu, so it should be worth quite a bit of money.
Thus, Zhou Feng stored the Stealth-Venom Gu’s carcass first.
Next was the Purple Jade Bell next to Han Qi’s corpse.
Zhou Feng couldn’t help but smile when he saw the Purple Jade Bell. “This is a good thing! It’s both offensive and defensive! It’s also very good-looking!”
Although the price he had to pay during that battle was heavy, it was still worth it. After all, the Purple Jade Bell was a top-grade soul artifact. It was much better than the splitting ax he used.
“Sigh… Has the medicinal effect not worn off yet?”
Zhou Feng’s nerves relaxed slightly because of the Purple Jade Bell, so the medicinal effect immediately went to his head!
He had also inhaled quite a lot of the aphrodisiacs. It could be said that his entire body was hot right now, and he had been holding it in.
The best way to remove the aphrodisiacs’ effects was to release the desire in his heart, but there was nothing else here except for a corpse…
As such, he could only suppress it.
Holding it in would naturally have serious consequences, but Zhou Feng did not care much. Anyway, he had the Self-Healing Constitution, so he could slowly recover from his injuries. At the same time, he could also trigger Old Skin’s passive effect.
Speaking of Old Skin, it seemed that he couldn’t improve further after triggering it so many times? Could it be that there was a limit?
Zhou Feng restrained himself for a long time. After calming down a little, he picked up the Purple Jade Bell.
At present, the Purple Jade Bell was a little dim, and it exuded the aura of Han Qi’s soul power.
“It seems I need to place it on the Soul Altar for some time before I can use it!”
Sensing the soul power on the Purple Jade Bell, Zhou Feng felt that it was somewhat troublesome.
If he wanted to use the Purple Jade Bell, he would need to expend his soul power to wash away Han Qi’s aura and then place it on the Soul Altar to nurture it.
This meant that he would need to waste a lot of soul power.
Refining his Vital Gu, increasing his cultivation, and nurturing the Purple Jade Bell alone required a lot of soul power.
Not to mention he needed soul power for other purposes.
“I need to rest for a period of time!”
Zhou Feng felt that he was a bit too radical, or rather, he was a bit intoxicated.
At the start, he had planned to pursue the Gu Dao. Why was he becoming more and more extreme?
Han Qi’s death would definitely cause a storm. After all, compared to ordinary inner disciples, Han Qi was a true disciple of the Soul Altar realm. Judging from his arsenal, someone was definitely backing him.
Therefore, Zhou Feng needed to hide from the limelight for now.
‘Oh right! I should have collected his soul!’
At that moment, he thought of the passive Soul Harvesting.
After slightly sensing the Soul Altar, he discovered that there were a few more wisps of soul power in the Soul Altar.
When he killed Han Qi, the Soul Harvesting must have been triggered.
“I should go back to Bitter Bamboo Peak first! It’s too unsafe here!”
Zhou Feng put all the spoils of war into his storage bag and then dragged his body with heavy steps back to Bitter Bamboo Peak.
If he wanted to avoid the limelight, it was probably better to look for Old Demon Gu.
No matter what, Old Demon Gu was his nominal disciple.
Moreover, Old Demon Gu’s Demon-Devouring Seal was now on him, which meant that Zhou Feng was a leek Old Demon Gu was raising.
Old Demon Gu wouldn’t just watch his leek die, right?
Zhou Feng’s mind was extremely clear at that moment. The first thing he thought of was where to stay out of the limelight.
He was very clear about his relationship with Old Demon Gu. Because of this, he was 90% sure that Old Demon Gu would definitely help him.
After a while, Zhou Feng returned to Bitter Bamboo Peak. Then, he went straight to the back of the mountain.
When he arrived at the back of the mountain, it was still as barren as before.
“Eh? Interesting!”
A mature female voice entered Zhou Feng’s ears before he could speak.
“Your injuries are really interesting! Is that a mixture of aphrodisiacs? No! There’s more?
“Are you looking for this young lady?”
“…”
Old Demon Gu immediately noticed the various aphrodisiacs on Zhou Feng’s body, and he sounded slightly surprised.
But from the smell of blood on his body, Zhou Feng didn’t seem to be gunning for this ‘young lady’.
Could it be the work of those old Love Gu ladies?
“I killed a person!”
Zhou Feng took out the Purple Jade Bell and recounted what had just happened.
Of course, Zhou Feng could only leave out the part of the so-called innate divine abilities.
Given Han Qi’s reaction, there so-called innate divine abilities and Dao Bones were like a hot potato. If he told these things to Old Demon Gu, the latter might directly swallow him up.
“You… killed a Soul Altar disciple?”
Old Demon Gu was astonished and kept silent for a while.
Before this, Old Demon Gu’s tone toward Zhou Feng was basically indifferent and lazy.
But after knowing that he had killed Han Qi, he seemed astounded.
