I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator - Chapter 151

Although my overall strength is almost at the Ancient Realm, I could tell that the sword that White was using was something that could rival someone beyond the Transcendence Realm. It wasn’t even a question since everyone in the Middle Plane are probably stronger than those in the Transcendence Realm.

I mean, I wouldn’t even be surprised if the Spirit Beasts over there have a rank beyond Transcendence Realm.

My newly found skill— Autopilot— worked so fast in a split second as it took over my body. While that was happening in a small frame of a second, I felt the blue lightning of the sword slowly touching me as its momentum accelerated towards my neck. For a split second, I felt like my neck was melting and being swallowed by an unknown force.

<Ti-ring!>

<You’ve learned a new skill: Blink>

<Autopilot has used the skill Blink>

<Congratulations you didn’t die, Yongrui>

Upon saying that, my body suddenly jerked and I found myself in a different spot from where I was. From the corners of my eyes, I could see White slashing the empty air as he wore a surprised look on his face. Once he swung his sword, he gazed at me in shock as if he didn’t believe he dodged that.

Well, I couldn’t believe it either. Somehow, the System just save me from dying a painful death.

The force generated by the slash was enough to cut through the Coliseum… all the way to the Walls of the Red Sea Shelter and a few more meters from there. It was truly an earth-shattering slash coming from that sword that has cheat-like status. Fortunately, not a—

eh?!

For some reason, my head tipped over sideways as I gazed towards White in disbelief. I immediately tried to steady my head but it was pointless. When I looked down, I finally realized what has happened. Somehow, the small point of contact of the sword to my neck made my neck disappear into thin air. Perhaps, the right term for it was… yes, in short, my neck was obliterated and there was only a small portion of it left.

<Notice: You’re losing a lot of blood.>

<Berserk Skill has activated>

<Blood transfer has activated>

<Virus Madness has activated>

<You’ve gained insight in the ways of the sword>

<Congratulations! You’re swordsmanship (max) skill has leveled up!>

<Your Skill: Swordsmanship has now leveled up to the Skill: Sword Dance of Midnight>

[Skill: Sword Dance of Midnight (Active Skill)

Description: A sword skill that has been passed down to generations of the Midnight Sword Clan. This sword dance allows the user to continuously use his swordsmanship for a length of time. It also enables the user to use his swordsmanship to the maximum potential without any penalties. Moreover, this sword technique becomes stronger the closer you are to midnight.

Additional Function: Has a chance to make the user enter the Transcendent State.]

The panels didn’t even catch my attention since I immediately closed it after I closed it. When I looked up, I realized that everyone was looking at me in pure astonishment, probably trying to figure out what I just did. As for me, I also didn’t know what I did nor what kind of skill Autopilot was, but I’m just thankful that I’m still alive— I think I already brought this up twice but oh well.

Because Autopilot has taken over my body, all the skills that I activated weren’t planned at all. But their combination worked so well that I was quite surprised. I’m guessing that the Autopilot skill is just another extension of the System.

For a moment, White wore a smug look on his face as he saw the damage on my neck, but then, his expression changed in an instant as my neck healed in just a split second. I didn’t even know but apparently, the Berserk Skill along with Blood Transfer Skill has healing capabilities.

“For a moment, I thought you were just an Assassin Type, but who would’ve thought that you got the Healing and Blood Element. I underestimated you, Yongrui.” White said as his body floated and he charged at me once again.

This time, I was prepared and I immediately dodged to the side. I kept in mind that I shouldn’t come in contact with the sword since it had the capability of bending space. I mean, that’s the only way I could explain why my neck was obliterated a few seconds ago.

“That mysterious power, I can tell that you’re connected to it. I may not know the reason behind it but I could detect a portion of that power from you.” White commented.

I braced myself as I tried to gauge the situation. I know that no matter how hard I try, I won’t be able to go head to head with this White. That’s why I decided to focus on dodging instead of fighting head-on. But then again, it’s only a matter of time before I reach the end of my rope. If I don’t act now, then it’s not just me who’ll be ending up dead. Everyone here might as well be dead if I don’t do something.

On top of that, I can’t rely on Shi Yanmei and Shen Rong either. Even if they did want to help me, they’re probably thinking that they’ll just hold me back after seeing that crazy dodge I did. It’s all up to me. Whether I come out of this alive or not will judge the fate of everyone else in this shelter.

“White, you’re from the Middle Plane, right?” I reconfirmed, trying to buy some time.

“I thought we’ve concluded on that. Yes, I just told you I’m from the Middle Plane.” White said.

It worked!

“Then, isn’t this just plain bullying what you’re doing here?” I asked, shaking my head. “Look, you’re probably the strongest in this Plane but I swear you’re probably the weakest over at your place.”

I swear I heard a vein popped on White’s forehead as he looked at me with disdain in his eyes. He may appear handsome but right now, his face was so twisted that it felt like a demon possessed him. I gulped as I felt the pressure emanating from him once again but I held my ground. If this were to work, then I have to play all my cards right. One misstep and we’re all done for.

“What are you implying?” He growled as his teeth chattered against each other.

Suddenly, a mysterious power exploded from him and his sword became even stronger. It even seemed like the sword had a will of its own as it floated in the air, producing thunderclaps as lightning coursed through it.

“I mean, one-sidedly attacking me like that is not fair. Why don’t we make this contest fair?” I dared.

“Interesting. Then, entertain me.” He responded.

Phew! I sighed in relief. Fortunately, he stopped his onslaught for now and I can finally formulate a plan that would work in my favor. “You said you can detect that Ancient Power from me, right? Well, let me tell you that I’m connected to it. In fact, I even know the location of it. But I won’t tell you that. You can kill me right now, or you can try to torture me, but you won’t get anything out of this mouth. That’s why it would work for the best if you hear me out.”

I could tell that there were some conflicting emotions going through White’s mind right now but he wasn’t voicing anything out. He closed his mouth and brought a thumb to his chin as he thought of everything I laid out to him. Since I’ve thought hard enough about this, I know that the more he thinks about it, the more he’ll see that it would be better if he listens to my terms.

“Assuming that you do know of this power, then I will listen to you. But if I find out that you don’t know anything about it in any way, then I’ll kill you and everyone else in this Shelter, no questions asked.”

“Fair enough, then are you ready to listen to my terms?”

White nodded.

Shen Rong and Shi Yanmei stared at me with grave horror written on their faces. Sure I saved them from White’s attacks… but it was just a temporary solution. If he finds out that I’m lying, then it’ll be for certain that I’m not the only one who’ll die today. “Then how about this, we will fight each other, no holds barred. But I don’t have to defeat you. If I can touch you, then I win and you tell me everything I need to know about the Middle Plane and the situation over there.”

“And if I win?”

“I’ll willingly show you the location of the power you’re looking for.” I continued.

“Deal!” White said as he flew towards me, grinning like a madman

“Wait,”
