Blood Warlock: Subus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 5
Beijing University, being one of the most prestigious universities in all of China as well as one of the
most important universities in the world that even foreign students attended, was extremelyrge.
The campus was several acres in size and the university was like a small city by itself; supermarkets,
karaokes, there were even some restaurants inviting students to stay on the premises without going out
too much.
The distance between the male dormitory and the gymnasium was only about four hundred meters, but
because all the roads were gued with dangers in the form of zombies, evolved insects, and animals
that seemed to have turned into beasts, crossing that distance had be a challenging feat.
Bai Zemin dashed relentlessly and shed with his sword again and again.
Along the way he had saved the lives of five others, increasing the number of survivors at his side to
nearly twenty-four.
A man with gold-rimmed sses and a rather handsome appearance was chatting with a female
student who was looking at him with an obvious crush. This man’s name was Lian Xuan and he was
the vice president of the university’s student association.
Before the apocalypse, Lian Xuan was a model student with excellent grades and in addition to his
good looks he had many female suitors; even now that the world had changed there were some
surviving girls who looked at him with strange glints in their eyes.
Lian Xuan had also dared to fight since at that time he had no other options if he wanted to survive. He
was currently level 3 and could handle two or three zombies by himself. When he encountered Bai
Zemin’s group he was about to be surrounded by six zombies, which meant death for him.
After he killed two zombies and Bai Zemin killed the other four, Lian Xuan joined the group and helped
kill straggling zombies; after all, even for someone like Bai Zemin, who had been fighting and killing
creatures of a higher level than him constantly, it was not 100% safe to protect such arge group of
people without one or two zombies slipping in.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a green shadow appeared in the distance charging towards the group of over twenty people
at astonishing speeds.
Bai Zemin had just killed a mosquito that was almost twenty centimeters long and before he could
react, that green shadow had already passed beyond his defense perimeter, appearing in front of Lian
Xuan.
Lian Xuan’s face turned pale and he took a step back.
If he faced a few zombies he was still fine, but if a big bee or a mutated dog with above average
speeds appeared, then there was no way he could even react!
Because Lian Xuan had only killed zombies so far, he only obtained extra attributes during the first four
or five zombies and only gained stamina. Lian Xuan had also used the six status points he had gained
from leveling up in strength, so his speed was merely average.
Lian Xuan grabbed the girl who was chatting with him and didn’t even hesitate when he threw her in
front of that strange shadow, taking cover in the process.
The green shadow suddenly shed and in the next instant, the girl’s body was split in two. Her blood
sttered everywhere and a look of shock and incredulity shone in her eyes before she died. Even in
her wildest dreams, she would never have expected that the normally cultured, polite, and gentlemanly
Lian Xuan would actually not hesitate to make such a cruel move.
The survivors panicked and a few began to flee in all directions in a disorderly manner. Others did not
move due to fear, and some smarter ones just walked away while trying to get closer to Bai Zemin as
he was the only hope they had of survival.
As for Lian Xuan’s selfish act, no one noticed… No one except the beautiful and seductive but at the
same time innocent Lilith. Though such a move was impossible to be missed by someone like her,
there was no disdain or disgust in her gaze; she had seen people do worse things than what she had
just seen just to survive one more day.
The green shadow was so fast that no one could react to its speed. This strange creature suddenly
seemed to realize something as it shot off at terrifying speeds toward Bai Zemin.
Clearly, the creature had realized that he was the best tonic for it to evolve.
Bai Zemin felt his scalp go numb and unconsciously raised his sword horizontally.
ng!!!
The sound of metal shing against metal echoed loudly. The green shadow was forced to stop its
movements as its strength and Bai Zemin’s were quite simr.
Only now could Bai Zemin distinguish the appearance of the monster that was attacking him.
The green shadow was actually a huge mantis that was almost two meters tall. Its terrifying eyes stared
at him with killing intent flickering inside. Its tworge scythe-like forelegs were pressing hard on the
Xuanyuan Sword, trying to force Bai Zemin back.
If it was Bai Zemin before obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword, he could have been seen to retreat.
However, thanks to the twenty strength points the sword granted him, he could barely stand on equal
footing.
“Be careful! That mantis doesn’t specialize in strength at all! Its current speed must be almost twice as
fast as yours!” Lilith’s voice rang in his ear, giving him vital information.
In fact, even without her telling him, Bai Zemin knew that his current speed was far below this mantis.
Before, if not for his reflexes and luck, his head would have already separated from his body without
even knowing how he had died.
Bai Zemin grunted as he pushed forward with all his might, pushing the mantis back. Then, without
even a second’s hesitation, he added all his saved status points into agility.
In just a split second, he felt his muscles be stronger but at the same time softer. Bai Zemin felt as
if lightning shed in his body, giving him a slight itch that soon disappeared.
Swoosh!
The nearly two-meter mantis disappeared and in the next instant appeared before Bai Zemin again,
shing downward with its scythe-like legs.
However, the current Bai Zemin could finally see its movements clearly.

Bai Zemin and the mantis engaged in closebat with the intention of ying the other. To survive, to
evolve, to be stronger.
From the other people’s point of view, they could only see two silhouettes flickering constantly and hear
the constant sound of metal shing against metal. For them, it was hard to think that a human being
could actually fight in such a way against such a terrifying creature without losing ground. It was only
then that they realized Bai Zemin’s strength.
Although Bai Zemin’sbat experience was average and his sword skill deficient, the Xuanyuan
Sword was a rare grade treasure capable of piercing through the defenses of almost any creature
below level 40. The mantis obviously had not yet reached that level as its scythes had small cracks that
slowly spread with each collision.
However, the mantis was a natural hunter who made use of its scythes from birth, so it was naturally
more skilled than he was inbat.
Each had their own advantages and for an instant, the battle was deadlocked in what appeared to be a
stalemate.
Several zombies, apparently attracted by the sound of battle as well as the strong smell of life, began
to stagger over.
Bai Zemin quickly spotted them and knew that at this rate not only would all the survivors die, but even
he would also fall when they surrounded him. After all, the mantis might not be afraid of infection, but
he was.
Strengthening his determination, Bai Zemin surveyed the battlefield and slowly backed away, luring the
mantis to a specific spot. Upon reaching that spot, Bai Zemin spent sixty points of mana and created
six bloody chains using the blood of the dead zombies.
The mantis was clearly taken by surprise and the chains wrapped tightly around its body. Its
movements were stalled and its two scythes were stopped in mid-air by two bloody chains. The beast
struggled fiercely trying to free itself and the chains restraining its scythes began to stretch taut as if
they would break at any moment.
Bai Zemin’s face changed slightly when he saw this and he quickly rushed forward and shed
towards the creature’s head with all his strength.
After a sh of sharp light, the mantis’ movements stopped for a moment before its head fell to the
ground followed by a fountain of blood shooting out of its neck.
[You have obtained the soul power of Great Fast Mantis level 25. Agility +14, Strength +10, Magic +10,
Mana +10].
[You have leveled up and reached level 10. You get 2 attribute points to distribute freely].
[You have leveled up and reached level 11…].
[You have leveled up and reached level 12…].
[You have leveled up and reached level 13. You get 2 attribute points to distribute freely].
A huge orb of soul power came out of the Great Fast Mantis’ body and entered Bai Zemin’s body,
nourishing him and taking his power to higher levels. In addition, he also directly gained four levels as a
result.
Besides, the mantis had dropped other things after its death. Next to its corpse was 1 red orb, 1 orange
orb, and 1 scroll.
