I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 29: Bloodthirsty Beast

Luo Zehn's POV:

A bloodthirsty beast.

There was no other way to describe it.

I don't know what came to me when the person I was following suddenly glared at me, telling me to go as far away as possible from him. There was an air about him that I found disturbing. For some reason, although I was stronger than him by leaps and bounds, I immediately opted to obey his orders. Call it instincts or whatever but when he spoke, I feared for my life for a split second.

No need to think twice. As soon as he got out of control, I ran away from there while fearing for my life. As a person who lives by the Samurai code to the letter, I have no idea why I lost my calm when his eyes turned red and he became monstrous in appearance. My instincts just kicked in and I was pushed to observe him from afar.

I never expected the young man to be crazy, let alone rampage on the whole Si Shelter as soon as he saw it. After all, he was the one who advised me to maintain my composure, and yet ironically, he lost his. If he were someone crazy, then he wouldn't have warned me, right?

And that's when I arrived at a conclusion that there was something wrong with the young man. Probably an anomaly in his cultivation or a curse bestowed upon a strong elemental user. Whatever the case, he needs my help. Even though it's dangerous and I might as well risk my life to save him. I will do so now without hesitation.

After all, I am a man who lived by the Samurai code.

Regaining my calm and steeling my resolve, I pushed my hair back and rearranged the bandana I wore to keep it in place. I may be an idiot for not knowing how to stop him but I'm not stupid enough to not step in when he's on a killing rampage. No matter how crazy the people are in the Si Shelter for eating their own kin. I know deep inside that the young man didn't want to do it.

I mean, He stopped me from doing it just a moment ago.

For some reason, this young man reminded me of my late master from five years ago. Just like him, he was the epitome of justice and balance. And the young man before me has shown me those kinds of traits.

And now he needs my help.

I unsheathed my swords as I calmly approached him. I remembered the time when he referenced something out of the Joj*'s series but I was too embarrassed to admit that I know it so I stopped playing along. And now, I'm approaching him again, slowly, so I can beat the living daylights out of him.

That's the only solution I could think of so give me a break!

For my final preparation, I popped a pill of iron supplement on my mouth and swallowed it. It doesn't give me a boost in strength or anything, it's just a habit I kept to remind me of my late master, Tang Yongrui of the Tang Sect.

When I got inside the Si Shelter, I finally saw how the situation drastically aggravated. He was like a feral beast, mowing everything in its path. Be it a human, a plant, or an object, whatever his teeth have sunk into, he would bite it off without reprieve.

"Young man, this has to stop, right now!" I screamed. My voice cracked at that last word but whatever. At least I got my point across.

The young man left the half-chewed, cannibalistic human, and directed his attention at me. With a huge roar reverberating from his mouth and filling the air with dread, he charged at me, eyes bloodshot.

But no matter how bloodshot his eyes could get. I could feel the sadness therein. Deep inside, he didn't want to hurt anybody no matter how twisted the person is. It's as if his eyes are screaming that I help him regain his old self. I was dumbstruck. There was no way I could beat someone with that look in his eyes. He may be running amok but he's just a young kid.

I've decided. I will just restrain him and hope that he would calm down. If not, then that's when I'll beat him up and hopefully, he will revert back to his own self.

.....

Tang Yongrui's POV:

<Congratulations! You've achieved a breakthrough!>

<Congratulations! You've achieved a breakthrough!>

<Congratulations! You've achieved a breakthrough!>

Finally! Fifth Level of Spirit Realm!

I inwardly celebrated as my cultivation went up by three notches. As a great fan of cultivating, I never thought that I'd be able to skip three levels in just one day. It was something only I, the genius Tang Yongrui, could achieve!

The white space that encompassed me dissipated like fog clearing up in the morning. It's like a veil in front of my eyes were steadily disappearing until I finally took back the reins that control my body. The weird feeling of returning to your body was something so surreal yet so disturbing that I didn't want it to happen again. Virus or whatever, I won't allow anyone to take hold of my mind and expect that they get away with it.

When my vision cleared, the first thing that I saw was Luo Zehn. He wore a mortified expression on his face while mounted on top of me. At first, I didn't know what he was doing and then I felt the series of punches that he unleashed so mercilessly towards my face. His fists were packed with speed and power that there was no way for me to dodge them. Furthermore, he was planting his fists so fast on my face that I couldn't even speak.

In the end, I lay down on the ground as he tirelessly pounded at my face.

"Young man, are you alright now?" He asked, after a good two minutes of punching me.

"How could I be alright after all of that?" I said, rubbing my swollen face with my hands. Because of the intensity of his punches, my face went numb and I had great difficulty talking. "Couldn't you think of a better way to wake me up?"

There was a little bit of annoyance in my mind right now since my disciple just punched me countless times in the face but there was also an underlying sense of relief that he woke me up from my uncontrollable state. Had I stayed in that form a little longer, I might've wiped even the unknowing children in the Si Shelter. I don't think I would be able to live with that constantly nagging on my conscience.

"T-thank you.. for bringing me back," I muttered as I lowered my head a little bit towards my disciple. Honestly! I didn't have to lower my head in front of him! But I don't have anything with me and bowing down is the only way I could ever thank him. Nevertheless, I wouldn't do it again. It won't do me good to lose my esteem as the Sect Master of the glorious Tang Sect.

I mean... not so glorious Tang Sect.
