Chapter 51: Qi Absorption (1/2)

Tang Yongrui's POV

Bit by bit, my concentration dwindled away as my body suffered more and more bites from the horde. No matter how much I whittle away on their headcount, the rabid humans kept on multiplying just like rabbits. If I cut one rabid human's head off, two more will emerge from afar. And pretty soon, my body couldn't keep up with the amount of rabid humans surrounding me.

After five minutes of desperation, my body finally fell forward as the autopilot died down. And the bad news was, I still haven't taken control of my body!

”Yongrui, you're going to die soon if this goes on!” The System voiced out with shakiness in her voice. It was obvious that the worst is about to happen and there was nothing we could do about it.

”Just give me a minute!”

Click!

<Ti-ring!>

<Congratulations! You've reached the Sixth-Level of the Spirit Realm.>

Swoosh!

With the prompt said, an overflowing amount of energy enveloped me, almost making me vomit pure energy from my mouth. It was like a huge boulder was placed on top of me, weighing me down the more I tried to resist. But instead of panicking, I continued on my cultivation in hopes that this power would be enough to fight back the virus.

Because there were a lot of rabid humans in the area, specifically the rabid humans that I eliminated, the amount of Qi Energy in the area was too much that it was getting too hard for me to breathe. I could feel the heaven and the earth putting their pressure on me as if I was the burger in between a bun.

”AAAGHHHH!!!!”

I couldn't help but unleash an ear-piercing scream that had Liu Zhi and the others covering their ears. Well, it's not that I assumed that they were covering their ears, I could see them by the edge of the forest, looking out for me. They were probably trying to find an opening so they could rescue me.

Oh no, my consciousness is slipping away, even my consciousness in my mind...

Is this the end?

Will the Virus really overtake me so easily like this?

Slash!

Tip, tap, tip tap.

Swoosh!

From the edge of my consciousness, I could feel someone, fighting the rabid humans in place of me. And according to the movements I heard, I could tell that that person wasn't even breaking a sweat. Just like a surfer intricately riding the waves and swells of the sea, his footsteps gracefully outmaneuvered the Horde, reducing their numbers down as he slashed some sort of weapon.

By the sound of it... is that a katana?

I can't tell.
