Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: The Celestial Maiden
Chapter 264

“Kugh!!!!” Everyone was thrown away from Rin, the force of her Qi was too strong for them to bear. But they were the lucky ones, ending up with only minor injuries.

The civilians around the biker, however, weren’t so lucky.

Some of them were torn apart while some turned to mist, redistributed, as one could say. Nothing of them was left behind except tiny particles. But Rin could care less about that. Her entire attention was on the biker who was still standing over Jang Long’s body.

Rin jumped at him, fully powered, and held nothing back. That was a mistake on Rin’s part. She didn’t really think who and what was behind the biker.

Luckily enough, the evacuation section was saved from Rin’s assault when Zhang Fei rushed forward and stopped her by ramming into her. As for the biker, not letting go of the opportunity, he once again launched into the air and went after another member of the team.

While the others weren’t too lost by the sudden death of Jang Long, they were still angry and when they saw the biker coming at them, they didn’t avoid him but prepared themselves to fight back. It was, after all, five to one.

The biker landed in the middle of them and the first kick landed on Sho Xiang who was thrown away by the unexpected powerful blow. Zhou Han didn’t miss the chance and attacked the biker with a straight punch which the biker easily stopped.

However, another member of Rin’s team, Sun Wang, attacked the biker, hitting him in the leg. The biker raised his knee slightly and easily blocked the attack but this fight was still five versus one and the biker had only managed to engage three so far.

Two powerful attacks of Qi landed on his stomach and the biker was pushed back a little but he didn’t let go of the two people he was holding, pulling them back with him.

The strike was strong but coupled with the biker’s physical strength and Qi skills, the attack didn’t do the expected damage and the biker flung the two individuals in his hands, one pulled by the fist and one pulled by the leg and bashed them together.

He let go of them and followed up on the rest of the two team members of Rin’s team who were still collecting themselves from delivering the attack.

“Flank him!” One of them yelled and their teamwork was flawless enough for them to be called almost perfect.

‘Twins?’ Wei Jun thought inwardly because earlier he wasn’t focusing but now that he was, he noticed that these two were similar in build, and height, and their faces were almost the same.

‘And they were after the same girl?’ Wei Jun questioned.

[Yes….]

[And now that I hear it, I realize how it sounds]

The biker ignored the inner conversation and divided his attention to his left and right, trying to see who would attack first when he suddenly turned around and grabbed the kick going for him.

He spun Zhou Han’s foot and once again, picked him up like he did with the other guy by his leg and threw him at one of the twins and jumped at another. The other twin was quick to react and dodged the biker’s assault allowing Sho Xiang to attack the biker with a flying sidekick.

The biker wasn’t caught off guard but even when he could sense the attack coming, he wasn’t fast enough to be able to dodge it. So he took one hit and delivered another to the unluckiest member of the force.

Zhou Han, who had just collected himself from embarrassingly ramming into two of his teammates, male teammates, met with the heel of the biker that struck him straight in the neck, throwing him to the ground.

But his sacrifice caused the rest of his teammates to jump at the biker and pin him on the ground. The biker struggled, obviously stronger than all of them but he was stronger than all of them individually. Against four of the Rin’s team, he wasn’t quite able to shake them off.

And then there was another addition. Zhang Fei landed in front of them all, ready to grab the biker by his helmet when the biker emitted a lot of Death Qi, but as amazing as the force was, it died down before it could push all of them off.

So the only alternative was…

White light shined on the huddle and before the biker knew it, his readied skill was gone before it could even fully spurt.

“Let’s see who you are underneath.” Zhang Fei said, anger evident in his voice as he harshly pulled off the biker’s helmet.

What they saw, however, was anything like they expected. What they expected to see was a handsome young man with a cold look on his face but what they saw was horrifying.

> ‘The Mummy’ original reference, or something similar <

A man whose skin was burned and his eyeballs were fully exposed. His head was bald and his skin melted. Something green oozing off of his skin and a stench so horrible that Sho Xiang couldn’t help but lessen his hold but as he did, the biker didn’t let go of the opportunity to free himself and let out another wave of Death Qi.

[Death Qi has been depleted]

Unfortunately, he was all out of Qi.

The others also noticed when the biker jumped back instead of the obvious attack.

“He’s out of Qi,” Sho Xiang said happily but his face was soon to scrunch when…

[You have consumed a Qi replenishing pill]

[All types of Qi have been fully restored]

“What the…” It wasn’t just Sho Xiang but everyone in the group who was astonished by that fact. They hadn’t seen the ugly man consume anything so they naturally assumed it was some sort of technique. The problem was that there was no such technique.

The biker once again emitted a great amount of his Death Qi and pulled everyone out of their reverie and attacked the one closest to him; one of the twins.

The twin, once again, was quick to react but at the last moment, the biker changed his target and went after the most unluckiest member once again and elbowed Zhou Han in his stomach, making him puke blood.

The biker was about to follow up when his senses tingled and he hurriedly knelt down and just as he did, a sword passed the place he was just at.

Zhang Fei was the only one experienced enough to follow up with the biker. But he still didn’t expect the biker to be so good at fighting. Even among six of them, the biker was still not only able to find proper holes in their formation but also utilize them.

He was after Zhuo Han because Zhou Han was the fastest one in the group. Taking him out would not only cause the team to lose a fast ally that could keep the biker busy but also because Zhou Han’s defense was the weakest in the entire team.

He was the easiest to kill and the good option to start culling their numeric advantage.

The biker jumped back to the left and threw a grenade which did nothing to the Qi users but as he did, he also threw an object which everyone dismissed thinking it was nothing once again.

That was a big mistake.

The object, which looked like a sack, exploded. It wasn’t a big explosion but what was released from it was a greenish gas that rusted Zhang Fei and Zhou Han’s Qi barriers.

“What the…” Zhang Fei said, speechless at that.

“Watch out for the gas!” Rin yelled but she kept her eyes on the biker because she was sure he still had a trick up his sleeves. Unfortunately, she was too late because the biker had already thrown that trick before.

The burning embers from before came into contact with the poisonous gas and it exploded. It wasn’t a big explosion, on half the scale of the grenade but that wasn’t what was important.

This explosion, unlike from the grenade earlier, got past their Qi barrier and damaged them. It was minor damage but it managed to do what the biker was hoping for.

It distracted them for a few moments. Just like a flashbang, they all had to close their eyes from the explosion. It wasn’t because it was bright but because it could reach their skins so they involuntarily closed their eyes.

Rin was no different but when she opened them, there was no sign of the biker.

“Where did he go?!” Her yell attracted everyone’s attention but no one could spot him. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, hurriedly turned to the big crowd of five, feeling something ominous, and yelled, “Watch out!”

“Kugh!”

“Argh!!”

“Kugh!”

The twins and Sun Wang were penetrated by six black whips, each whip penetrating their vital organs.

“Eh?”

Sho Xiang, the youngest of the squad, was standing along with two more members and when he looked back, three of them were already dead, penetrated by the black whips.

Sho Xiang looked at the face that was hideous and looked him straight in the eyes.

He didn’t know why, but he turned his head and looked at Rin, whose eyes were also wide and she was frozen in her spot. Only Zhang Fei and Zhou Han could be seen running towards him while yelling his name but he knew they wouldn’t make it in time so the time he had left, he looked at Rin and just said, “Captain.”

“NOOO!!!!!!!”

Rin yelled with her Qi going berserk and at the same time, a hand ripped through Sho Xiang’s chest and in that hand, Sho Xiang’s heart could be seen.

“Cough!” Sho Xiang coughed blood, his eyes wide and disbelief in those eyes. And then, his lifeless body fell, along with three others and what appeared from behind them was the hideous biker, his eyes as cold as ever.

“Now,” The biker spoke, no teeth in his mouth could be seen, “Time to erupt, Captain.”

And then, a bright light engulfed the entire downtown.
