Chapter 93

It was a usual day in Shannau City. As the private jet of the Ruan family landed on the runway, they were asked to go through the checkout, not straight out of the runway. It was a little strange for that to be said because even in this city, the name Ruan wasn’t something to be dismissed yet they were being dismissed.

However, Wei Jun could understand what the reason was. But even though he knew about it, he still decided to go along with it. Although he knew the situation in Shannau City from intelligence, he hadn’t observed it firsthand so he opted to experience it firsthand.

“They must want toll.” Li Wei said, a little afraid. Although there was the assurance of guards, a few guards were still nothing when faced with the big gangs of Shannau City. If they ended up offending someone big, they ran the risk of becoming the enemy of the entire city.

As Li Wei predicted, at the official checkout, three buff men were standing, some scars here and there and their dressing wasn’t something that should have been allowed at the airport. Not only that, the stench wafting from them indicated they hadn’t taken a bath for at least a week and they reeked of sweat in their sweatshirts.

“Wait there.” One of the men extended his hands and stopped Wei Jun. Wei Jun, who was at the forefront despite the insistence from his guards, said, “Talk from a little away. You reek.”

There was a clear disgusted expression on Wei Jun’s face as he said that. Seeing the disgust on Wei Jun’s face, the man became a little embarrassed but the prominent expression was anger indicated by his gritted teeth, “You have quite a mouth on you.”

“I know. Everyone does. Have you ever seen a mouthless person, you idiot?” Wei Jun insulted the man once again.

The man was now seething in anger and replied, “I haven’t before but I’m about to see someone become one.” He smashed his fist against his own as he threateningly stepped forward.

Wei Jun raised his hands to stop the guards behind him and said, “Protect her. Don’t worry about me.”

These were the bodyguards of his agency. They had seen Wei Jun’s prowess so they all decided to obediently heed his order. The man who seemed to be the leader towered Wei Jun and said while gnashing his teeth, “I will make meat paste of you. Make you regret coming out of your mot—”

While mid-speech, the man’s tongue was caught between his teeth due to Wei Jun’s punch that was squarely delivered at the bottom of the chin of the man, throwing him across the place. He landed quite a bit far away from the place.

Wei Jun thought he had held back quite a bit. His strike was mild and he had only applied slight Qi to his fist using the discharge skill. The amount of Qi he used was only worth three points, however, he was stunned to see the notifications that appeared in his view.

[You have killed a human being]

[No Qi detected]

[No stat gain possible]

The man was dead. Wei Jun was sure he hadn’t even applied half of his strength so all he could attribute to the man’s death, was the factor of Qi. The Qi that wrapped his hand was no longer there so either it was dispelled or it entered the man’s body and was the reason for his death.

Wei Jun suspected it to be the latter. Wei Jun ignored that for now as there were still two men coming at him. They were both slow, not in human terms but his own. He could easily perceive their moves while also observing the entire background.

The child who was crying, the old man who was watching the spectacle with wide eyes, the young man who was flirting with a woman, and the woman who had a fed-up expression on her face. The world seemed to have slowed down literally for him. His senses were so heightened that he couldn’t even think of anything other than the Qi in his system.

Another idea came to his head as he tried to circulate the Qi through his system just like he did during the meditation and to his surprise, a skill was activated.

[Skill ‘Qi empowerment’ has been activated]

[All physical stats +5]

[Qi -20]

Compared to the effects of the skill he had in his skill window, this one didn’t consume that much Qi, but the output was also very low. Using this same amount, if he used eighty points of Qi, only then would he get the same rise in stats as the skill in his skill window but at a higher cost.

Wei Jun ignored that and turned his focus back to the men whose fists were almost upon him. Wei Jun slightly tilted his head as one of the fists passed just by him while he grabbed the other one with his hand and twisted it slightly.

However, that slight twist ripped the arm of the man from the middle. A clean and effortless tear and the man hadn’t even realized that his arm was gone because of the phantom pain.

Wei Jun immediately spun and grabbed the last man by the neck and gave it a simple twist as well, killing the man on the spot.

“AAAHHHH!!!!” The last living man finally realized his plight and he didn’t even have enough will to know that both of his companions were dead. Seeing the scene, the rest of the people at the airport began to scream and flee. Wei Jun didn’t mind them because his business wasn’t finished yet.

Now that he had tried the effect of his experiment, he needed to see the true effect of his skills. And who would be better to test it on rather than the thugs who were slowly approaching them?

“Take her to the car. All of you go as well. Do not hesitate to use the guns.” Wei Jun instructed the bodyguard team. They nodded and left with Li Wei from the side. Now, in the empty airport lobby, there was only Wei Jun and about thirty thugs.

[Skill ‘Qi empowerment’ has been activated]

Wei Jun didn’t have enough Qi for the skill ‘Qi armament’ as well so he just opted to go with this one. He knew he would have been fine even without using Qi but he wanted to use it anyway. Only one man was making it alive out of there other than Wei Jun and Wei Jun wanted that man to deeply imprint this image in his mind.

The image of absolute power.

Wei Jun felt the power coursing through his veins as the Qi in his abdomen automatically circulated. He focused on the flow of it and realized, the Qi flow was more systematic than when he did it. So much so that even after expending so much effort on it, he lost track of its movements halfway through.

‘It seems the system has some of its own uses.’ Wei Jun said. No doubt the skills he could use, the people of this world could use as well but he had a hunch that no one other than him could use them more efficiently than he could due to his system.

The world around him slowed down once again, even more than before as if everything came to a halt. Wei Jun calmly stepped forward and came in front of his closest opponent. He decided to do something else this time.

He touched the chest of the man and discharged just one point of Qi into his body. He didn’t stop at that, he moved and did the same to ten more opponents before stepping back to his original spot.

As his senses returned to normal, all the men he had touched with Qi dropped on the floor, trembling in pain as if they were having a seizure. The rest of the men stopped seeing their companions dropped on the ground, trembling in pain but not a word came out of their mouths. Not even a sound of pain left their mouth.

All it did was induce pain. Wei Jun also observed their state. Wei Jun could tell what the problem with the men was. They were being burned. Their bodies were burning from the inside. Wei Jun knew that Qi was hot but he didn’t expect it to be this hot.

[That’s because the cultivation technique you are currently practicing enhanced the scorching effect in Yang Qi]

[You can say it is a fire attributed Qi]

Wei Jun nodded and turned his attention back to the men. They soon stopped moving while Wei Jun saw many notifications as earlier in his vision. Wei Jun didn’t worry about it though.

It was just an experiment to him. Wei Jun turned his attention to the rest of the men who were frozen in place seeing the men die. Wei Jun wasn’t too keen on wasting time here. He didn’t do anything to snap them out of their reverie and once again enhanced his senses to the maximum. The world around him once again slowed down and in just a minute, they all dropped dead.

Other than one of the first three men, who had lost his arm, Wei Jun killed everyone else. There were still a few guards around, but Wei Jun let them live for the sake of rumors spreading out. He wanted the people of Shannau City to know what had happened here.

“Let whoever employs you know exactly what happened here. Also, tell them where I am.” Wei Jun said to the man without an arm before calmly walking out of the airport.
