Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: The knight
Chapter 374

The red wyvern with its massive size and the power dripping from it became visible to everyone. As they looked at it, a chill ran through the spines of the low-level mages and cultivators. As for the grandmasters or the sixth circle spell masters, while they were questioning why a wyvern was there, their own battle took precedence. Someone facing the wyvern would take care of that, anyway.

The wyvern, Morial, on the other hand, looked at its summoner with pure dissatisfaction on his face. His size began to change, and once he was in his human form, he looked at Wei Jun, who looked back at him.

“You better have an explanation for why I’m here.” Morial said, but Wei Jun ignored the question and said while pointing at the mage, “See that guy. He’s your target.”

“Why would he be my target?” Morial argued.

“Because I said so.” Wei Jun replied.

“…” Morial had no comeback.

He sighed and looked at the robed man who was already muttering a spell. A debuff spell, which he recognized well, but it wouldn’t do anything against Morial. Morial was an overall after all. He looked at the aura master next to the mage and then looked at Wei Jun. He remained silent as he observed their opponents and prepared to move.

Just as Morial stepped forward, the aura master intervened with his heavy sword, but his sword stopped mid-swing. He saw who could stop his sword so effortlessly only to be surprised to see a hand covered in a golden flame grabbing his sword.

No matter how strong he was, it was still a hit to the aura master’s pride that his attack had been stopped so effortlessly. But contrary to what he expected, the young man who had stopped his sword was currently sweating at he moment.

[QP -200]

[HP +200]

A whopping damage of 200, even with Qi armament activated, told him how dangerous even something defensive like aura could be if it was in a different dimension. Qi was supposed to be better than aura in a general sense, but Wei Jun wasn’t a grandmaster yet; only his stats were in that realm. The fact that he could fight against an aura master who was sort of a grandmaster in his respective field was dangerous as hell.

Still…

‘I can see.’ Wei Jun could see it. The attack was heavy but slow. If Wei Jun had to, he could have avoided it on his own, but he was protecting Morial, who was currently trying to get close to the mage who was faster than he seemed.

[Swift spell]

[That’s why he’s so fast]

Wei Jun didn’t have the luxury to worry about Morial as the aura master retraced his sword and brought it down on Wei Jun once again with an intensity stronger than before, and even the movement was faster than before.

Still not so fast that Wei Jun couldn’t dodge, so he simply sidestepped for the sword to dig into the ground just next to him where he was standing. Wei Jun put his full power into the punch and punched the sword, but the sword didn’t even budge, let alone move.

The blowback from the strike, though, was massive, and Wei Jun’s arm became numb.

The aura master took this opportunity and attacked Wei Jun with his fist, but Wei Jun put his Qi to the maximum in his other hand, negating the attack but at a price once again.

[QP -250]

[HP +250]

Since this time, Wei Jun didn’t only want to be the receiving party; he gave something back, receiving more damage in turn, even though it wasn’t a sword but a fist.

“Kugh!” The aura master grunted and stepped back as crackles could be heard coming from his hand.

Wei Jun, on the other hand, equipped his daggers once again and followed the knight since he was fully healed and slashed at his armor, which was once again blocked with just a scratch on the knight’s heavy armor.

Wei Jun knew daggers would be useless against the knight, but his physical strength would be useless as well since the only reason he was able to damage the knight before was because he was focused on offense, not on defense, which he practically always was.

Wei Jun moved in once again while the knight swung his sword horizontally. Wei Jun ducked down to avoid the attack only to be welcomed by a kick from the knight when he spun and attacked Wei Jun with the back of his foot while his back was still turned to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun put the maximum of his Qi in his forearm and blocked the attack because that was a rare chance. He knew the damage would be great, but such an opportunity wouldn’t come again.

Wei Jun bore the brunt of the knight’s kick who when saw that Wei Jun wasn’t dodging which should have been the correct decision, added the maximum amount of his aura in the attack as he could and when it struck Wei Jun, the thick aura penetrated his arm even though Qi was guarding it.

His Qi guard shattered, and aura penetrated his arm.

Wei Jun grunted in pain but didn’t let up. He grabbed the dagger in his other hand tightly and lodged it deep into the back of the knee of the knight, a spot that wasn’t covered by the armor for free movement.

“Arghh!!”

“Kuaagghh!!!”

They both exclaimed in pain, Wei Jun being the one who took more damage than the knight, but it was no doubt that the damage to the knight was equally devastating, if not more disadvantageous.

Wei Jun quickly moved back even though the great pain in his body spreading through his arm was making his entire being numb. That instant was all needed by the Death Qi peacefully sleeping in his abdomen to flow through his body and eat up the aura that was wreaking havoc inside of his body, but before it could reach his heart, it was snuffed by the death Qi.

That, of course, didn’t mean he incurred no damage. His left arm was out of commission, and the places his aura had managed to invade were now dead. Such as his left kidney.

They were completely useless now, and the pain it brought was blinding. The Death Qi inside his body moved once again to fix them, but it couldn’t. The dead couldn’t be brought back.

[You have to expel them, host]

Wei Jun didn’t think for a moment, even in the middle of the immense pain, as the knight was just getting up after pulling the dagger out of his knee, doing something to it so that the bleeding and the pain would stop. He was still limping, but it wasn’t to the point one could say it was advantageous to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun unequipped the dagger, and with his bare hand, he penetrated his abdomen and plucked his left kidney out because that was the only organ that couldn’t be fixed. When the knight saw that scene, he hesitated, but the next scene he saw was equally horrifying.

The hole left in Wei Jun’s stomach began to fill up, and it was only for a moment, but the knight was sure he spotted something dark inside of Wei Jun’s body. It was so brief that it wasn’t even detectable, and had his eyes not seen it, there would have been no evidence of it.

“You evildoer!” The knight forgot about all his pain, and as if his pain was never there, with an anger that couldn’t be explained, he jumped at Wei Jun with all of his power. Wei Jun could tell that that was the final strike, whether for the knight or him. That one final strike would decide everything.

So, pulling all of his strength in his arm, pushing his Qi to the maximum, his arm began to throb, and the Qi inside him began to rampage.

Wei Jun brought his hand forward with all of his strength to meet the sword of the knight that was covered in a green hue. It was his right arm this time since his left arm was still aching.

And then, the inevitable happened. Both golden and green collided. The collision immediately blew everything in their immediate vicinity away, and then the force sent others who were away stumbling away from them. Even the strong ones couldn’t help but move a little when the immense force struck them.

At the point of origin of the collision, a fist and sword were still in contact, both powers trying to see who was dominant among them. A vortex began to form in the middle, as if pulling the sword and the arm in a circular motion, and it wasn’t just their imagination.

The massive collision was making that vortex, and once Wei Jun’s arm and the knight sword were fully covered in that vortex, the vortex stopped pulling them in but, this time, pushed them back. Only it wasn’t just a push. It was a massive explosion.

Boom!!!!!!!!
