Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Not so innocent
Chapter 263

“Surround him!” Zhang Fei and the rest of the team hurriedly surrounded the biker, marking all the spots around him. Once the biker was covered from all sides, Sho Xiang also covered his bike in case he made a run for it.

“Nowhere to run now, pal,” Jang Long said. The biker looked at everyone. All seven men and Rin’s attention on him, their attacks ready.

While he looked at everyone, he was also engaged in a conversation with a being only he could talk to.

‘What do you mean it’s yours?’ Wei Jun asked the system.

[As it sounds]

[That’s my divine rank technique]

‘Nothing alarming then, right? You were born with it so someone else could have been as well.’

The system told Wei Jun that sometimes, some people were born with a cultivation technique. There was a possibility that two people could have been born with the same type of cultivation technique.

[Except it’s not the one I was born with]

[It’s the one I created in my lifetime]

‘Any idea how it could end up in her hands?’ Wei Jun asked just to be sure. ‘I’m not about to kill your extended bloodline, am I?’

[Not possible]

[I’m the last of my bloodline]

[My daughter’s children didn’t inherit anything from my side and my son died, leaving three boys who also died leaving many…many children]

‘Case solved.’

[Except all of my bloodline descendants died before I did]

‘Seriously?’ Wei Jun asked.

[Very seriously]

‘Shut up.’

[Yes, host]

[What I’m trying to say is that technique is strong]

[I made it specially to fight the evil cultivators]

[It’s strong against any element of darkness]

‘I have death.’

[Not at a level to beat that]

‘Hence the pain.’

[Hence the pain]

Wei Jun was struck with immense pain when he was struck by a move from Rin. Even the death whips he had were wiped out.

[They weren’t wiped out]

[They were negated]

‘What’s the difference?’

[A lot]

[Just for now know that your Qi isn’t as strong as hers]

‘So is there a weakness to that technique?’ Wei Jun asked.

[I think you missed the part where I said that it was designed to kill evil cultivators]

[Against you, it’s very strong]

[And there’s no weakness]

‘You’ve been very helpful.’

[Thanks]

‘Ugh!’ Wei Jun decided not to argue with the system because he was sure there was no weakness in Rin’s techniques.

If the system said so, then it was how it was.

‘Then if there’s no weakness in her technique, then I will simply have to find a weakness in her.’ Wei Jun determined himself before he raised his hands.

The biker raising his hands like that didn’t appease no one. They were still on guard against him which was the correct decision. But the biker didn’t care. The way his hands were up conveyed the mockery of the entire process to Rin and her team and she couldn’t be more pissed off about it.

The biker, on the other hand, suddenly closed his fist and something appeared in his hand. When Rin looked closely, it looked a lot like a detonator given by the red ominous button on top of it.

“Sho Xiang!” Rin yelled but she was too late.

Boom!!!

A massive explosion struck Sho Xiang from his back. While he was protected by the Qi, the explosion was too massive for there to be zero damage.

But that wasn’t the biker’s goal at all.

While everyone was distracted by the blast, the biker jumped into the air and rammed into Jang Long, who was standing on the east side, but the bigger part was the building behind Jang Long where many, many civilians were gathered.

“Aaahhh!!!” There were screams of panic as two figures broke through the wall of the building and ended up in the middle of the lobby, with the biker on top and Jang Long on the bottom.

Punch!

The biker punched Jang Long with all his might, crackling his jaw badly but also consuming a great deal of his own Qi to get past Jang Long’s barrier.

“Don’t engage!” Rin yelled as she entered the building through the collapsed wall. She checked on Sho Xiang and while he was injured, it wasn’t to the point of an emergency so she chased after the biker, afraid that the civilians might be harmed.

“You hear that?” The biker said before he added, “Your captain told you not to engage.”

The biker rained down punches on Jang Long faster and more accurately than anything Jang Long was used to which was also the reason why he couldn’t dodge or block any of the strikes. The biker was strong, fast, and precise, an opponent Jang Long had never faced before.

While it sucked, it was also a good thing that the biker was not using Qi in his attacks which relayed that it was limited.

“Get everyone out!” Rin yelled but she knew it was useless.

It wasn’t that deep into the night so the downtown was still lively. With so many people out on the streets, it would be impossible to avoid casualties.

“You guys sure have a lot to protect, don’t you?” The biker said before he began to infuse Qi in his attacks while Jang Long could still only defend himself.

The injuries were not only just piling up but they were also getting severe with each passing moment. It wasn’t long before Jang Long was injured a lot.

But that wasn’t even the worst part.

Rin was forced to use her power again but it didn’t help this time because the biker wasn’t using the dark Qi, from their perspective, anymore.

With Rin’s power proving to be useless, they had no other choice but to engage but the problem was that the evacuation wasn’t done yet.

Any death of civilians would bring heavy repercussions.

‘Damn it.’ With no other choice, Rin let out a shockwave of Qi, throwing the biker off of Jang Long but it also struck the injured Jang Long and many of the civilians who weren’t as sturdy as Jang Long or the biker.

“Kyaahh!!!”

“MY LEG!!!”

“I can’t feel my legs!!”

Various shouts of injury erupted shortly after the shockwave ended. Many people were injured due to that shockwave because they weren’t protected from Qi by Qi barriers.

With them not protected, the scale of injuries on them would be severe as well. Rin couldn’t even tell if someone was dead or not because of how much panic there was.

“Damn,” The biker said as he stood among the people and said, “Didn’t know you had it in you.”

“What do you want?! Whatever it is will be provided. Just leave the civilian’s perimeter.” Rin yelled, trying to negotiate because there was no other way out of this.

“Now why would I do that? Why would I voluntarily abandon my safe haven?” The biker said. He was right, the CSF wasn’t going to harm civilians no matter what.

Even the excuse ‘for the greater good’ wasn’t enough for the CSF to gun down many of the innocent bystanders.

“Wow, Captain,” The biker said, “You sure do stick up to your morals a lot.”

“Tell me,” The biker asked, “Would you be the same stickler if one of your team member’s life was concerned?”

Amidst the chaos, Rin hadn’t noticed but Jang Long ended up very close to the biker among the crowd. Before she could even move, the biker grabbed Jang Long by his neck and held him down in a deadlock with his arm around Jang Long’s neck.

“I want to see,” The biker said, “Would you be willing to break all those morals of yours, all those rules, for the precious men in your life?”

“Let him go!” Zhang Fei shouted and pointed a gun at the biker. The rest of the team did so too but there were just too many civilians around the biker so, “We both know you’re not gonna shoot me, Sergeant.”

“So back to you, Captain,” The biker ignored the threat to him and grabbed Jang Long tighter which made Rin move but she contained herself because even still, there were many lives at stake.

“I will let this guy go if you kill five people. Five mortals. Kill them and I will let this guy go.” The biker said while tightening the hold around Jang Long’s neck.

“You sick bastard!” Rin yelled, finally not being able to hold herself back. However, before she could go all vengeance on him, the biker pressed harder around Jang Long’s neck which quickly put a stop to her.

“Now I’m going to count to three. By that time, if you haven’t killed five people, I will snap his neck.” The biker said, shaking the unconscious Jang Long.

Rin stopped. The world revolving around her, she was at a loss. She didn’t know what to do and while every impulse in her body was telling her it was wrong, for a brief moment, a flash passed through her eyes.

“Huh,” The biker said, “You’re not so innocent after all.”

Snap!

And before anyone could process anything, the biker snapped Jang Long’s neck with full force.

“NO!!!!!!!” Rin yelled, the power inside her erupting like a volcano and before anyone knew it, there was nothing but blood mist in the building.
