Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Luo Han (2)
Chapter 89

Wei Jun dismissed the yell of Luo Han and went in with one more strike. His stance was a classic boxing stance and his arms were acting guards over his head, Wei Jun wasn’t giving the man any chance to strike back nor he was giving him a chance to let him absorb some Qi.

He didn’t know what was the criteria for replenishing Qi so he wasn’t going to take a risk and let the man take even a second for himself.

Luo Han on the other hand was struggling. His Qi was insufficient to use Qi armament at full strength. All he could do was try to strike back which he did and although he didn’t know of it, he was delivering Wei Jun damage although it didn’t appear to be so.

[HP -1]

[HP -1]

[HP -1]

Wei Jun dodged the ones he could but the ones he couldn’t had to be blocked. However, even when he properly blocked, negating all damage, he was still taking damage.

‘Why am I taking damage? I’m blocking his strikes perfectly.’ Wei Jun asked the only one person or thing he could. The system.

[Although you are, his Qi is damaging you]

[To neglect Qi, you also need to have Qi]

‘That’s just great.’ Wei Jun replied as he pulled out a golf explosive from his inventory and exploded it on the face of Luo Han. It wasn’t enough to do any damage but it was enough to block Luo Han’s vision which was enough for Wei Jun to create some distance.

Wei Jun hurriedly reloaded his RPG launcher while Luo Han was still distracted. As soon as Luo Han’s vision cleared, he saw a rocket launcher aimed at him. He knew he took another strong strike, he would be out of Qi so he decided to turn around and run, only to step on Wei Jun’s earlier planned surprise that he left before creating distance.

A mine.

Boom!

Luo Han was sent sideways with the explosion. He crashed into trees and coughed blood. The injuries he attained weren’t only because of the explosion but also because of the Qi depletion. He had severely exhausted his Qi, something that had never happened before. And definitely not to something nonsensical like weapons. He had faced weapons before but people at his level couldn’t afford such destructive weapons.

Luo Han couldn’t even laugh at the fact that he was defeated by weapons when he possessed the greatest weapon of all time, Qi. Yet there he was, coughing blood and awaiting his fate as the man in the helmet inched closer step by step towards him.

When the man stopped in front of Luo Han, Luo Han didn’t see the launcher from earlier. Instead, it was a simple revolver. But in his current state, even that simple revolver was lethal.

“Cough!… Who… the heck are… you?” Luo Han asked but he received no reply. Not that he expected to receive a reply. But he was hoping to prolong the conversation as much as he could so he could replenish enough Qi to run away from here.

“Fine… You win. Jus… Just let me go. I will disappear from your… your sight and never return.” Luo Han pleaded for his life. He wasn’t putting on a fake front either, he was seriously asking the helmet man to spare his life. He had no intention to fight anymore and he would leave quietly as he promised.

The helmet man didn’t answer again and raised the gun to aim at Luo Han’s forehead. Luo Han had obtained his answer. He chuckled and said, “Fine. Have it your way then.”

Just as he finished speaking, a burning sensation left his abdomen which covered him entirely. Wei Jun pulled the trigger before the unknown phenomenon but the bullet disintegrated when it came into contact with the yellow layer around Luo Han.

[Host step away!]

[Hurry!]

Wei Jun didn’t waste a single second and jumped back only in time before a yellow wave of unknown power emitted from Luo Han, and struck him. Wei Jun was thrown back with significant damage.

[HP 932]

Had he been close, he would have died given the extent of damage or even worse. Wei Jun didn’t have the time to analyze when he saw another wave heading towards him but this one was vertical. Like a blade.

And as he thought, as soon as he jumped out of the way, the tree behind him was sliced in half. Wei Jun didn’t wait another moment and increased the distance between him and Luo Han but Luo Han ran to him to shorten the distance as well while shooting the blades from earlier.

‘What the hell happened to him?’ Wei Jun asked as he ran in random directions, trying to distance himself away from the rapidly approaching Luo Han.

[He is using his true Qi]

‘What the hell is that?!’ Wei Jun yelled as he once again dodged another blade that nicked him on his foot, causing a wave of pain to shoot through his whole being. The pain brought by that unknown power was strong.

[Do you really need a crash course right now?]

The system retorted and Wei Jun nodded because it made sense. The number one priority was surviving.

‘How long will that last?’

[Not long]

The system replied so Wei Jun nodded and dodged once again. Luo Han saw that his opponent was evading his attacks and wasn’t much harmed. Sensing that his life was nearing its end, he decided to let out one powerful attack in all directions instead of letting out concentrated attacks.

“Haap!!!” He clenched his fists and another wave, one last wave was emitted from him, the wave was then converted collection of blades and shot in all directions.

Wei Jun saw that and even with the system warning, he only had one option left. Offer a sacrifice. So he dodged as much as he could but even his luck ran out when one of the waves, he couldn’t dodge.

Luo Han still had a few breaths in him. He wasn’t going to die until he saw the end of his opponent, the person who was the reason his life was ending.

As the dust cloud from the destruction began to settle, Luo Han desperately squinted his eyes only to see a hand emerge from the cloud and grab him by his neck. Soon, the person appeared in his view as well. The person was no one else than his helmet friend.

Luo Han, who was grabbed by the neck and on his last breaths couldn’t see, but his opponent was missing an arm. He didn’t have the satisfaction of seeing that because before his life could run out, the helmet man snapped his neck and killed him.

[Health pill consumed]

[Bleed effect lifted]

[HP 3131]

Wei Jun consumed a health pill and the various effects when he was hit by the blade were lifted. His arm didn’t grow back but it was stubbed like it was cut off for years.

While he was still collecting the situation, a swarm of notifications clouded his vision.

Wei Jun decided to not hold any longer and hurried to the compound with a gas mask and suit on that he purchased from the shop. The compound was still heavily infested with various gases that could be harmful to him so he decided to take his biker suit off and equipped that one.

Once he was inside the building, after confirming the location of the safe, he made a beeline to that part, using Li Wei’s programs to disable any security in the way. When he finally arrived at the safe, something he had no knowledge of, he simply put his hand on the lock and said, ‘Now, get to it.’

[…]

[Me?]

‘Yes.’

[But I cannot interfere in the world as I wish]

‘Do it.’

[But host–]

‘Do it.’

[Yes, host]
