Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Attack
Chapter 146

“Envoy en route. ETA 30 minutes to the base,” A man spoke on the radio, informing the other side of their status.

“Copy that,” A voice came from the other side, confirming their message.

The envoy consisted of three vehicles, one on the front, one on the back, and a van in the middle.

“You screwed up big time, huh,” A man mocked Run Long while they were inside the van. Run Long didn’t look so good but he wasn’t out of hope yet. There was still his master and he was sure he would come to help him.

Run Long didn’t reply to the man and kept his head down. The man scoffed and he was about to say something when a feminine voice entered his ears, admonishing him, “If you wanted to make small talk, at least ask him out first.”

The man swallowed the words on his tongue and said, “Sorry, captain.”

“Keep your eyes peeled, everyone. There could be a rescue attempt,” The woman said. If Run Long was sent by a proper assassination organization, there was a chance they would try to rescue him.

Run Long scoffed inwardly because he had wasted his breath telling them that he didn’t belong to a criminal organization. But no matter what, since they wouldn’t believe him, he decided to remain silent about it.

But he also knew that no rescue attempt was coming. No one was coming to rescue him. He would have to wait for his master to contact the cultivator’s special forces through proper channels.

As the envoy was silently going to its destination under the cover of the night, the brakes were suddenly hit by the car in the front. That forced the van to hit the brakes as well, catching the car behind off guard and it collided with the van from behind.

All those in the back of the van were caught unprepared and fell forward.

“What is it?” The woman hurriedly asked on the radio.

“Captain, there is a man in front,” the man replied.

“Who is it?” the woman asked, thinking the rescue attempt was here.

“It’s a biker…. Without a bike,” The man replied.

“What? Get him out of the way for now.” The woman said while preparing to get out herself.

“Hey, you! Get out of the way,” The man in the front car came out and yelled to the biker standing on the road.

The cultivator slowly approached the biker, cautiously preparing to attack if anything went south when suddenly, he was grabbed by his neck. The biker had moved so fast that the man couldn’t even understand what was going on.

The biker lifted the man in the air and threw him to the woods, but not before pressing a few acupoints that made the man pass out.

“Attack!” the second man in the car hurriedly came out with his weapon raised and began to shoot the biker. The biker had the Qi armament activated so the Qi barrier stopped the bullets.

He was alone because the people in the back were still trying to get out due to the car blocking the van’s back door.

The biker instantly moved once again and grabbed the weapon of the man, effortlessly bending its muzzle before he struck the man in the face, making him pass out as well. The biker hurriedly moved to the back and stopped the car that was about to move away from the van’s back door.

The biker kept the car in place from the back of the car. No matter how much the driver pressed the accelerator, it didn’t work.

The other one came out and pointed his gun at the biker and began to shoot. The biker still didn’t budge but out of nowhere, a weapon appeared in his hands with which he shot the man’s arm.

It didn’t work. Just like the biker, the man was also a cultivator. The biker then shot the gun in the man’s hands and then shot the driver.

The driver also had the Qi armament activated so he wasn’t hurt. The second man lunged at the biker, giving him no choice but to let go of the car and deal with him.

The car moved backward, opening the back of the van. Three people came out of it and two others joined from the front of the van. The driver in the car also came out making their number six.

As for the one engaged with the biker, well, he wasn’t as strong as he appeared to be so the biker was able to effortlessly dispatch him.

However, the biker was careful that he didn’t kill any of the cultivators lest he create more problems for himself.

“Fire!” The woman didn’t share the same thoughts as she authorized her men to shoot at the biker. In that continuous barrage of bullets, even the biker had to run a bit and take cover in the woods.

“Flank him.” The woman quietly said and the cultivators slowly spread out, making their way to the woods from different directions.

Just then, an object fell at the feet of one of them, “Grenade!” The man yelled as an explosion overtook him. He wasn’t harmed but it managed to distract the rest and when they turned to look at the woods again, they saw a biker with what looked like a gun.

A small silver gun with intricate patterns on it. It glowed even in the dark and gave the weapon a pristine look. The woman saw the weapon and a bad feeling overtook her, “Cover!” She gave an order without thinking.

Alas, she was too late. Two of the cultivators were shot in their legs and strangely enough, their Qi barriers were penetrated and they were shot in the leg.

“What the…” The woman couldn’t understand what was happening. There were weapons that could penetrate a Qi barrier but none of the weapons were so small and without a speck of Qi in them.

The biker swiftly moved to the two injured guys so the other wouldn’t shoot him. He hurriedly knocked them out too. He then moved to the one behind the cover of a tree and dispatched him as well.

Since he was too close to their companions, the other didn’t shoot him.

“Attack him!” The woman threw her gun on the ground and sped up at the biker. The biker dodged her attack and similarly attacked another man and knocked him out in a swift move, leaving only the woman and another one.

The woman once again turned, only to be met by a black golf ball that exploded in her face. It didn’t hurt her but it hindered her vision just long enough that she couldn’t see the fist that was planted in her stomach.

But it was the biker’s turn to be surprised as the woman didn’t budge from that strike and struck the biker with a fist of her own.

The biker managed to stop the hit with his open palm effortlessly. The biker didn’t budge and so didn’t the woman. They were both at a standstill, trying to exert pressure on each other to move the other one.

The biker sensed something from behind and let go of the woman. The biker hurriedly opened his palm and discharged Qi from his hand propelling him to the side, barely avoiding the fist that was headed his way, striking the woman instead.

The woman was caught off guard and instinctively hit the man who was about to hit her.

“Ah…” The woman lightly said, recognizing her mistake as her subordinate was thrown away and struck the van, unconscious from the looks of it.

As for the biker, he didn’t miss that chance and struck the woman but she managed to once again guard herself from the biker with her forearm.

However, this time, there was something different in the hit. It struck her a bit more strongly than usual and her forearm cracked, badly hurting her.

Before she could compose herself, the man once again struck her in the stomach and then her head, putting 5 points of Qi in each to increase the damage a lot. She was struck by a powerful force and she was knocked out.

Just in time as well because….

[Skill ‘Qi empowerment’ has ended]

The biker wouldn’t be able to use the skill once again for five minutes.

[QP: 7300]

The Qi taken to take out the woman was massive. She was the strongest of them all and her strength was on par with the biker, even her physical strength was great but the biker still managed to take her out.

Although at a great cost.

The biker stopped looking at her and looked in the direction of the woods where a black-haired man could be seen, fleeing the scene.

The biker stepped forward and made his way to the woods where the man was fleeing, giving chase to him because that man was his real target after all.
