Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: The Conqueror (1) (Bonus: P.S)
Chapter 148

While still being flung through the air, Wei Jun opened his palm and discharged Qi to halt his body and while still in Run Long’s hand, he pointed his palm at Run Long and emitted another five points of Qi discharge.

It didn’t hurt Run Long much but the damage was accumulating and even Run Long knew that. While still a little disoriented from the strike, Run Long tried to stabilize himself when he was struck once again by Wei Jun with a sidekick.

Run Long was hit in his ribs with a five-point Qi discharge and it hurt him a bit because his Qi barrier was thinning out with each hit from Wei Jun.

Run Long jumped backward before reinforcing his barrier with more of his Qi. He knew that Wei Jun’s Qi pool wasn’t large like his but he also knew that Wei Jun had a miraculous elixir that could restore his Qi so he needed to watch out for that as well.

As for Wei Jun, his Qi armament was taking a lot of his QP but that wasn’t the worst of it. The difference in purity of Qi was so much that Wei Jun had to infuse five points of Qi in his every strike to deliver an effective strike on Run Long.

He hated to admit it but Run Long was still better than him in every way when it came to cultivation. His Qi was more stable, larger in quantity, and much more stronger than his.

Of course, Wei Jun wasn’t disheartened. There were still many tricks he had and he had gained a new weapon since their last exchange. He hadn’t experimented with it yet because he couldn’t afford to leave any traces of it behind, but here, no one was there to track him down.

Li Wei would hold the cultivator’s special forces for at least half an hour and by then, all his Qi traces that he left on the road when he fourth the cultivators would dissipate.

As for his own down here, it would take quite a while for cultivators to find that place so it would be very hard to trace his Qi back to him. But that didn’t mean he had all the time in the world. Twenty minutes, that was all the time he had.

After twenty minutes, whether he managed to kill Run Long or not, he would have to flee because he couldn’t risk getting caught by the cultivator’s special forces. Even Sun Ruan was wary of them given he stopped pursuing Run Long when they got involved. Wei Jun couldn’t even dream of messing with an organization even Sun Ruan wouldn’t.

So Wei Jun decided to go with the underhanded approach to take another edge on Run Long. Wei Jun shot forward with all his power and without caring for his Qi consumption, he began to land multiple hits on Run Long.

Run Long could only defend himself under such an attack and before long, his Qi barrier had thinned out a lot once again.

It was then that Wei Jun opened both of his palms and delivered a palm strike with both of his hands opened and struck Run Long with a second interval difference because he could only emit five points of Qi per hit.

But it was quite a close call and Run Long was struck by both strikes, pushing the air out of him as he protected himself to the best. Alas, his Qi barrier couldn’t hold under such a strong barrage and before he could even collide with the tree on his back, his Qi barrier dissipated and Run Long was rammed into the tree.

But that wasn’t all of Wei Jun’s attack. He hurriedly pulled out the silver gun to aim at Run Long only to put it back because Run Long had been prepared for that. He had erected defense once again and stronger than the last time as well.

Wei Jun could see a slight yellowish layer of Qi on Run Long, that was how reinforced and strong it was.

[QP 0300]

And Wei Jun had also run out of Qi. Wei Jun still had a minute left on Qi empowerment and Qi armament had also just renewed for a minute, emptying his Qi so he would be okay for a minute but not after that.

[You have consumed a Qi replenishing pill]

[QP has been fully restored]

[You cannot consume another pill for an hour]

Wei Jun’s Qi was fully restored and Run Long felt that and that was why, even after seeing that Wei Jun was taking a break, Run Long didn’t attack him because he knew he had that card still hidden.

But he also knew that Wei Jun couldn’t take it in quick progression otherwise, he would have done that constantly in their last battle. No elixir came with no restrictions. This one had some as well and that was the moment Run Long was aiming for.

Wei Jun could practically tell what was going through Run Long’s mind and he moved in to attack once again since he only had a minute left on the Qi empowerment skill.

Their exchange continued for a while until Wei Jun ran out of the Qi empowerment skill. It was now his turn to be on the defensive and some defense it was. Each hit from Run Long felt like a heavy rock was thrown at him at full speed. Wei Jun had to constantly reinforce certain areas to avoid serious injuries.

It wasn’t difficult with his control but he could only move five points of Qi with the help of the system. The one he moved on his own wasn’t fast enough. So he stopped attempting on his own and just used the system like it was meant to be used.

However, it did nothing for his Qi so Wei Jun began to go deeper into the forest, his Qi armament skill was also a constant Qi consumption so he had to manage not getting hit. It was quite a game, Run Long would chase while Wei Jun would use his surroundings to use Run Long’s destructive power and speed against him.

It was evident that Run Long hadn’t gotten used to his new power and speed and had trouble steering his body. He couldn’t properly control himself when he would jump at Wei Jun so all his attacks were mostly linear.

However, they were destructive. Simply too destructive. So much so that Wei Jun wouldn’t even think of taking a chance. With his experience, he could have easily used his speed to his advantage but there was nothing he could do about his power.

Wei Jun couldn’t risk even one hit otherwise he would be severely injured to the point that this fight would be in Run Long’s bag. Even if he had the health replenishing pill, it still wasn’t enough to take a chance.

Finally, the moment that Run Long waited for came. Wei Jun’s Qi ran out again due to his armament skill and also because of the defense against strikes.

Wei Jun would soon also run out of skills he had activated and they would end once they wouldn’t receive any supply. His Qi empowerment was already on cooldown but it was almost over. However, that was the least of his concerns because soon, his Qi armament would also run out.

Just then, when Wei Jun thought he would be able to stall for some time, Run Long suddenly sped up. Since the beginning of this fight, Run Long hadn’t displayed his full speed. It was still faster than his speed at the Qi gathering realm, but it wasn’t his full speed and that was how he had managed to trick Wei Jun.

Wei Jun was caught unprepared because he had been under the assumption that Run Long was already using his full speed. Now he knew that he thought wrong.

Wei Jun was flung across the forest like a baseball after being hit by a baseball bat. His Qi armament ended on the spot while he crashed on the ground, rolling and crashing constantly until he crashed into a tree and came to a full halt.

[HP -31]

A whooping 31 health damage. He was lucky the remnants of Qi armament had caught most of it or he would have been dead.

“Fu*k! Again,” Wei Jun cursed as he consumed the health pill. His health began to restore and before Run Long could land an attack again, Wei Ju moved out of the way and waited.

Run Long had gotten Wei Jun with this trick even in their last exchange so he didn’t think he would fall for it again but Wei Jun was wrong. What he thought was Run Long’s full speed from the start was not actually his full speed.

Run Long was smart enough to trick him like that. Wei Jun chuckled as he thought about how he was tricked so easily. He shook his head as Run Long slowly approached Wei Jun.

“Well, now what?” He asked. Wei Jun stared at him and replied, “Now we decide this battle. Like I said before, only one of us can live. That would be me.”

“I don’t see that happening.” Run Long said.

“Oh believe me. You’re not the only one holding back,” Wei Jun said as he glanced at the system panel where the newest entry of the system was.

[Death Qi: 100100]
