Chapter 797 - 457: Pour—It On!

As if saving the main course for last, Gongyang Wuji remained in no hurry to attack Jiang Wanzhao. Instead, he blurred into motion, darting behind the injured Fang Shi and ruthlessly punching him in the center of his back.

He activated the Dao Heart Demon Planting Skill. Fang Shi, already swallowed by despair, fell victim to the technique with almost no power to resist. His rationality rapidly vanished, and his eyes gradually turned manic. In less than three breaths of time, Fang Shi was demonized just like Chen Zifan, becoming Gongyang Wuji’s puppet.

"Look at that, your senior brother has also become my dog.

"You’re next..."

Gongyang Wuji sneered maliciously as he walked toward Jiang Wanzhao.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanzhao had long been preparing to detonate her Golden Core. But what drove her to despair was that she had just burned everything she had to unleash the Five Finger Mountain. Her body was now weakened to the absolute extreme. Merely struggling to stay conscious took a massive toll on her; she simply had no strength left to forcefully detonate her Golden Core on command.

Detonating a Golden Core wasn’t something that could be done with a simple thought. Just like committing suicide with a knife, one at least needed the strength to swing the blade and slit their own throat.

Gongyang Wuji had seen right through this. That was why he adopted a cat-and-mouse posture, feeling absolutely no sense of urgency.

"It’s useless. Before me, even death is a luxury you cannot afford!"

Having said that, Gongyang Wuji stepped up to Jiang Wanzhao like an invincible Demon God.

Jiang Wanzhao didn’t give up. Coughing up blood, she continued to struggle, desperately trying to detonate her Golden Core. She wasn’t afraid to die. She was only afraid of dying a worthless death, or worse, becoming a burden to her allies.

She knew Zou Feng’s temperament very well. Regardless of whether there were romantic feelings between them, his profound sense of loyalty alone meant that her death would severely impact his state of mind. Of course, Gongyang Wuji had no intention of letting her die right now. He planned to subject her to endless humiliation right in front of Zou Feng before finally ending her life...

Just thinking about the consequences this would trigger left Jiang Wanzhao’s Dao heart on the verge of collapsing. She desperately chanted in her mind, "Detonate, hurry up and detonate! Let me die, just let me die..."

Yet, in the end, her plea for death remained unanswered.

Assured of his victory, Gongyang Wuji slowly reached out, clearly intending to grab Jiang Wanzhao by her hair and lift her up.

Just as he was about to succeed, an ominous warning flared in his mind. Without a second thought, Gongyang Wuji retracted his hand and instinctively flew backward at top speed.

He had barely retreated two steps when a deep-yellow shockwave, as thick as a water vat, brushed past him by a hair’s breadth.

Needless to say, the power of this shockwave was formidable. More importantly, Gongyang Wuji caught a whiff of a familiar aura radiating from it. It felt as if this shockwave was the transformed state of someone he knew.

Transforming into a shockwave sounded utterly absurd, but that was exactly the feeling Gongyang Wuji got.

He thought, "Ye Xiang!?"

Since they had engaged in intimate contact not long ago, Gongyang Wuji immediately recognized it. Wasn’t this the aura of Fairy Ye Xiang, one of the Celestial Seven Immortal Maidens?

But the problem was...

Realizing something was wrong, Gongyang Wuji turned to look back at Jiang Wanzhao. Instead of his own shadow, an unfamiliar figure’s back now stood in front of her. Although they had never crossed paths before, Gongyang Wuji guessed the person’s identity in an instant.

"Zou Feng!?" Gongyang Wuji’s gaze sharpened.

On the other side, Jiang Wanzhao widened her eyes, thinking this was a pre-death hallucination.

"Feng..."

"It’s me," Zou Feng said, keeping his back to Gongyang Wuji. Showing little care for this Child of Fortune, he focused solely on checking Jiang Wanzhao’s injuries.

She was too heavily injured; it would definitely impact her future cultivation.

Unless...

"Feng... I... I..."

Having her Dao heart on the verge of collapse, finally seeing the person she wanted to see the most, and realizing that her worst fears had not come to pass, Jiang Wanzhao was naturally overwhelmed with emotion. Tears that hadn’t fallen for hundreds of years now streamed down in strings of little pearls. She could no longer maintain her mature, composed demeanor, automatically shrinking into the mindset of a vulnerable little girl.

"Senior Sister Jiang, it’s okay now. Everything’s okay..." Zou Feng gently stroked the top of her head, comforting her with profound heartache.

Fortunately, he hadn’t arrived too late. He had prevented the most melodramatic outcome from happening. This also proved that Gongyang Wuji’s so-called great fortune was nothing more than a facade.

"Zou Feng, you arrived right on time. But... what did you do to Ye Xiang?" Gongyang Wuji asked, continuously observing Zou Feng.

However, he couldn’t see through Zou Feng’s depths at all.

He silently admitted that this man was truly worthy of being considered his equal in fame. But it wasn’t a big problem. With the backing of that Royal Family elder from the Dubhe Divine Domain, there was no possibility of him losing.

Zou Feng first conjured a Golden Lotus to shield Jiang Wanzhao before slowly turning around.

"Ye Xiang? Uh, you mean that freak? Didn’t I just blast her at you?" Zou Feng said expressionlessly.

Blast her at me?

Gongyang Wuji blanked for a moment before realization dawned on him. Although he didn’t know anything about an Outer Pill Cannon, his instincts had been correct. Ye Xiang had most likely been subjected to Zou Feng’s refinement, turning her into his means of attack.

With Gongyang Wuji’s nature, however, he naturally didn’t care whether Ye Xiang lived or died. His previous question had stemmed from pure curiosity.

"Forget it, that’s fine too. Now that there are no interruptions, we can properly verify who the true Child of Fortune is!"

Before his voice had even faded, Gongyang Wuji flew backward. In the blink of an eye, he entered the area where the Stellar Giant Beast’s claws scooped down with the highest frequency.

He had been able to maintain an absolute advantage up until now relying entirely on his bursting luck. No matter how the Stellar Giant Beast’s claws swiped and grabbed, they never caused him the slightest bit of trouble. Therefore, even if he had to fight Zou Feng, he still intended to fully utilize this greatest advantage.

Seeing this, Zou Feng knew exactly what this guy was planning.

"Be careful... this bastard’s fortune is too..." Jiang Wanzhao hurriedly warned, lingering fear in her heart.

Zou Feng wasn’t in a hurry to rush over and duel Gongyang Wuji. Without even looking back, he said, "Rest assured, Senior Sister Jiang. His fortune ends right here."

As if to confirm his words, the Stellar Giant Beast appeared in the sky once again.

But looking closely, the body part the Stellar Giant Beast extended this time wasn’t a claw.

It was... its buttocks!?

That was right. Although immeasurably huge and somewhat different in shape from the Human Race’s, no matter how one looked at it, it was undeniably that specific body part.

The question was, why did the Stellar Giant Beast reveal this part of its body?!

Everyone was baffled. Even Gongyang Wuji tilted his head up, his face covered in question marks.

Only Zou Feng let out a sinister smile.

He then silently activated a Critical Strike of side effects.

"BOOM!"

Amidst an earth-shattering, deafening explosion, the Stellar Giant Beast opened its floodgates.

The next moment, truly like a collapsing dam, a monstrous "flood" surged out with a roar, resembling a frenzied, galloping behemoth.

The Stellar Giant Beast that was currently unleashing this flood was naturally none other than the big boss who had previously made it onto the List of Gods: Ao Chi.

It was no coincidence that Ao Chi was tormented by the side effects into having explosive diarrhea, nor was it a coincidence that Zou Feng had predicted it. Because Zou Feng was becoming increasingly proficient at controlling the List of Gods, he could now sense the general reactions of his targets after transferring the side effects to them.

So, upon sensing through the List of Gods that the big boss Ao Chi was right near Gongyang Wuji’s location, he naturally seized the opportunity to show Gongyang Wuji that his immense fortune had reached its end.

Ao Chi’s blast radius was far too massive, and its ejection speed was bizarrely fast. Being a Child of Fortune was entirely useless here; as long as someone stayed in the vicinity, they were bound to be drenched from head to toe in the deluge.

Not to mention, relying on his great fortune, Gongyang Wuji hadn’t planned on dodging in the first place.

And so, after Ao Chi let it fly, Gongyang Wuji was unceremoniously "crowned in a Yellow Robe." In an instant, he transformed from the Child of Great Fortune into the Child of Great Odor.

His originally wicked and arrogant smile froze on his face. His eyes were filled with sheer disbelief, leaving him with a sluggish expression as if he were entirely unwilling to face reality.

"It seems you aren’t the Child of Fortune at all. You should be called the Child of Foul Fortune!"
