Chapter 180: Massacre
I did not know if the readers would be comfortable with the scene below so I didn’t spend too much time on it.

But, it can be changed if you want more details on the scene.

Chapter 180

Wei Jun was in the shower when he saw the others in the shower quietly leaving. He wasn’t alarmed because he had been on guard since the morning and there was nothing that could bother him at the moment.

He continued to shower without a care in the world and soon enough, he felt the presence of fifty three people who entered the shower room, cramping the entire space but they still kept some distance from him.

Wei Jun wasn’t in the mood to talk. Usually, he would have told them to back off but due to the quest, he had no choice but to kill them. He really didn’t want to but he had to.

Wei Jun knew the warden had a hand in it because in the morning when he left his cell, he wasn’t checked and he wasn’t even logged onto the shower details.

For all purposes, he never left his cell and he was never there. In other words, there was no record of him being there.

But to Wei Jun, that was actually what he was happy about. These records would most probably show up in court and if never left his cell, there was no way he could have killed all these people.

‘Maybe it was god’s will.’ Wei Jun pushed everything on a being that couldn’t be questioned in the first place.

All things considered, he was in for a treat. After all, when else would he have so many cultivators served on a golden platter with no consequences whatsoever?

It was a buffet and he couldn’t be more happy about it.

“Turn around.” One of the men at the forefront said.

“That just proves how much of an idiot you are.” Wei Jun said as he turned around, “You just blew up your chance to attack me from behind.”

“We don’t need to.” The man snickered as something ethereal glowed on his hand. Something Wei Jun was very familiar with.

“So I see the warden turned off your bracelets.” Wei Jun said before he added, “Well, how else were you going to even put up an effort against me?”

Just as Wei Jun’s sentence ended, clothes appeared on his body out of nowhere.

[Gilliard’s armor]

[Defense stat +10]

[Charm +2]

As something that resembled an Italian masterpiece appeared on Wei Jun’s body, before the others could even begin to wonder where they came from, Wei Jun disappeared from his spot with a speed that was as fast as, if not more, a cultivator at the Qi gathering realm.

Wei Jun arrived before his first target and before anyone could even react, even slightly, Wei Jun’s palm went straight through his chest and exited from the other side.

The one at the forefront, the one who acted like the leader of the group died in the blink of an eye.

It was at that moment when the men who were left realized, they weren’t dealing with someone normal at all.

Wei Jun, of course, didn’t give them a chance to gather themselves. He moved to his next target instantly and clapped a head in his hands. Only the head between his hands ended up exploding in a gory mess.

He moved again and another life brutally ended. And again and again. To the point where the ones who were still alive managed to gather themselves.

They rained their Qi-laced attacks on Wei Jun and although slight, the damage was still being delivered to him and it was pilling up.

However, before it even got to the point of no return, Wei Jun had cut through more than half of the cultivators.

Alas, he didn’t feel any power though because his stats were already maxed out except for his defense but even that had maxed out, leaving Wei Jun with a lot of stats that he could get upon his next level unlock.

Wei Jun consumed a health pill and got back to killing. Seeing that their numbers were dwindling to the point they could be counted on two hands, the remaining ones tried to run but they weren’t fast.

One thing Wei Jun was relieved about was that none of them considered or attempted the self-destruct option. Either they didn’t know how to or they didn’t have the guts.

Either way, he was succeeding in his massacre and there was only one person left. Wei Jun calmed down, his breath a little bated, or labored, no one could tell the difference.

He was low on health for sure but he could still move. The cooldown for the health pill still had nine minutes left so that wasn’t an option.

Wei Jun gathered himself, out of breath, he stepped over the dead bodies that were misshapen, or unrecognizable from a single glance.

Wei Jun sped up once again and appeared behind the last person. The last one didn’t even dare to look back and he was just about to touch the handle of the door that could have led to his freedom but unfortunately, Wei Jun plunged his hand through his stomach, killing him on the spot.

[Warning]

[Health below five percent]

[HP 253]

Wei Jun had never before realized the importance of Qi as much as he did today. His physical stats being higher was an edge no doubt, but not having Qi also made him vulnerable against Qi.

Regardless of his defense, the Qi of his opponents could still penetrate him through his body, hurting him from the inside as well.

It was true that defense stat made him stronger from the inside as well but not as much as it did on the outside.

Wei Jun desperately wished that no one entered the shower room before the health pill countdown was up because if anyone did, Wei Jun was sure even one punch from a Qi gathering realm cultivator could kill him now.

He dared not use his death Qi because that could leave a trace and in a prison full of law enforcement officers, that wasn’t a very good thing for him.

Death Qi also automatically activated when he lost a limb or gravely injured himself.

However, he had learned to control it somewhat. He couldn’t control the death Qi as well as he could control the yang Qi so it still didn’t listen to him when Wei Jun was on the death’s door, but he could somewhat control it when the matter wasn’t life-threatening.

Although Wei Jun was seriously injured, he wasn’t under any special effect that could lead to his death so he was currently in the safe.

His HP wasn’t restoring like it usually did and Wei Jun came to suspect that it was because of his Qi that healed naturally.

Anyway, he was injured but not bleeding anymore and definitely not at death’s door.

He just had to make sure to survive for the next seven minutes and consume a health pill.

He walked over to the showers and turned one on. As cold water went down his body, his wounds stung but it also numbed them the next second due to which, his pain momentarily lessened.

Seven minutes was the longest period of time for Wei Jun ever since he came to the prison but it passed and just as it did, Wei Jun hurriedly consumed a health pill.

In just a matter of seconds, his wounds were gone and his health full. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at the number of corpses, still lying around on the floor, their blood leaving them, leaving nothing but pieces of flesh behind.

Wei Jun sighed. He didn’t know what the next step would be. If the warden somehow attacked Wei Jun as he left the room, Wei Jun had no way of surviving.

So, with his back against the wall, he slid down and sat on the floor in wait. Wait for the other party to make its move.

While he did that, he also checked the number of notifications in his view, informing him about his recent massacre, and giving him a reward for such a troubling and tiring task.

[You have defeated an opponent with Qi]

[Stats have been obtained]

[You have defeated ….]

[Stats have ….]

[…….]

[…]

[….]

[…]

[.]

[You have defeated an opponent with Qi]

[Stats have been obtained]

[Strength +18]

[Agility +24]

[Stamina +25]

[Defense +31]

[Qi +48]

Wei Jun frowned. The increase was too small for him.

Granted, the people he killed were only in the Qi gathering realm but the increase in stats was still too low for that.

The system had explained that as Wei Jun got stronger, there would be a decrease but the number of people he had killed was still far too great.

Wei Jun sighed. His growth was becoming increasingly harder. When he began, it was too quick but now it had become so slow that he was considering killing cultivators instead of sitting on his butt and wasting time.

[Sitting on your butt and wasting time makes your cultivation stable]

[Whereas the Qi you obtain so abruptly is unstable]

[You may not be able to feel it right now but you have never absorbed such a high amount of Qi before]

[You will surely feel the difference]

Wei Jun was intrigued by what the system said but he put that conversation on hold.

He heard the door knob moving. Wei Jun sighed and stood up. An explanation was coming up.
