Chapter 246: Ruptured Cocoon
Cong Shixiang had swallowed the Corrosion Pill. Yet he stood there unharmed.
Worse, anything that came near him began to decay. Steel dulled, rusted, and crumbled in an instant. He hadn't suffered from the pill. He had inherited its power.
Li Banfeng was still shocked. He didn't think much and struck a match, flicking it at Cong Shixiang.
The alcohol mist hung thick in the air, and flames suddenly engulfed Cong Shixiang. His body fat crackled and spat as it burned, sending up greasy smoke.
He didn't dodge. He didn't struggle. He didn't even try to put out the fire.
Instead, he calmly tore strips of charred flesh from his burning body and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them down along with the flames.
Cong Shixiang looked quite pleased with the taste. He drew in a deep breath, sucking in the flames clinging to his body along with the alcohol mist in the air. Then he leaned forward and spat it all back at Li Banfeng.
It was not hard dodging this blast of fire, but Li Banfeng no longer dared to approach Cong Shixiang. He had no idea what else Cong Shixiang could spit out, nor what he might devour next.
Cong Shixiang charged at Li Banfeng again. Li Banfeng kept a distance of ten meters, circling him.
