Stuck in a Chinese novel

The explosion caused by the collision of Qi and Aura shook the surroundings, going as far as even reaching Morial, who stood with the head of the mage he was facing in his hand. Of course, the explosion didn't even shake him, let alone push him a little like the rest. However, even he could feel the massive power trapped in that explosion, and there was only one thing on his mind, 'He sure is strong.'

The young man who had tricked him into becoming his familiar was strong. Of course, the major part in that was due to the consumption of the great elder dragon, but even still, the boy was growing stronger at a very fast pace and it wouldn't be long before he reached to the point where Morial wouldn't even be able to resist him, let alone free himself.

'I'm not so sure I can do that even now.' He thought inwardly before he shook his head and looked at the numerous mages and cultivators who thought he was an enemy and were wary of him. He shook his head and said, "I was told to kill this one, and so I have. I'll only kill you guys if ordered to or if you attack me first."

His words worked like a charm, both for him and those worried about him. Knowing he wouldn't be attacking them, they still weren't off guard, but they were relieved enough to run away.

Morial turned his attention where the massive explosion had occurred and could see a very dead knight with his left shoulder along with half of his heart missing and...

'The boy sure has tenacity.' Morial thought as he looked at Wei Jun, who was pushing himself up while the right side of his body that was fully blown away regenerated. Even a part of his brain had been damaged, and had it been his left side, he would have been dead without a doubt.

The Death Qi inside Wei Jun fixed him at an alarming rate while with his left hand, which was still numb but in working condition, Wei Jun created spears to keep everyone who came near him at bay. Seeing him in trouble, some wanted to step ahead, but they were too preoccupied. Seeing him regenerate like that, though, was also a little disturbing, both for his enemies and his allies.

Wei Jun didn't give a damn about them and focused on dealing with those who came at him, killing some while keeping some at length. The Death Qi and the green power in his heart were both at full flux to fix him, and with how much he had been damaged, even his enormous Death Qi had been used by half while his Yang Qi was fully empty.

Wei Jun let the Death Qi do its job, and just as his enemies were about to attack him, he consumed a Qi replenishment pill and immediately discharged his Qi to the maximum.

His yang Qi, of course, since he couldn't afford to come out as a sort of evil cultivator yet. Wei Jun also realized through this battle how dependent he had been on his Death Qi. Had he used Death Qi from the beginning, he would have been able to end the battle by now, but the difference was too much. Even now, without the regeneration provided by Death Qi, he wouldn't have been able to survive this far.

'I know.' Wei Jun said as he looked at his opponents recovering from the Qi wave. Wei Jun moved before they could, and from one to another, he ripped their heads off. With the empowerment from the skills and his own natural physical strength, he was almost a grandmaster cultivator. The only difference was that he couldn't use his Qi as a grandmaster could.

But for the master cultivators and mages, it was enough. Wei Jun killed one after another, and at the end of the battle, his stats had grown by a bit, with the most increment being in his Death Qi, most of it from killing the knight.

[Strength +7]

[Agility +5]

[Stamina +8]

[Qi +11]

[Death Qi +461]

[Qi: 622]

Wei Jun's Qi was stuck at 620, and he couldn't utilize any more of it. Still, he only had nine more levels to go before he'd be able to enter the world of grandmasters and truly be able to control his Qi. Of course, just entering the grandmaster realm wouldn't be enough as Li Fan Sho was far more stronger than that.

He was at least in the peak of the grandmaster realm, with chances that he might even enter the next realm. In the novel, by now, he had managed to obtain the ingredients to attempt the breakthrough. As much as Wei Jun wanted to, he couldn't interfere with that.

Not only was that because Li Fan Sho was too strong but also because he needed some breathing space.

'Well, better worry about it later.' Wei Jun thought as he looked in the direction of the small explosions. They weren't on the scale of the explosion that occurred due to him and the knight earlier, but there were sure many of them.

That was where the two strongest cultivators were fighting at the moment. Sun Ruan and Xuang Bei, Run Long's master. Wei Jun processed the state of the battlefield once more. Those fighting were still fighting, and it was uncertain who would win between the two parties.

The sky was covered in some sort of blue dome, which Wei Jun suspected belonged to McCalligan. Due to that, both sides had no choice but to see the battle to the end, feeling not being an option from the start.

But that wasn't his main goal. Whether everyone present died or not, he didn't care. He only needed a few chosen ones to die, and he knew where to find one of them.

Wei Jun jumped up in the air and made his way to the area where Sun Ruan and Xuang Bei were battling. As he saw the state of their battle, Wei Jun could clearly tell who was at an advantage and who wasn't.

Sun Ruan was the one on the losing side, even though his massive Qi was something to behold.

[It's poor control]

The system chimed in, and Wei Jun couldn't help but tremble. Even back at the banquet where he met Melissa for the first time, Wei Jun had witnessed how Sun Ruan was just letting his Qi out to assert his dominance with no control on it whatsoever.

[It's not like his opponent is a prodigy]

[But he sure is better than Sun Ruan]

Wei Jun nodded, and even though Sun Ruan was losing, he didn't intervene. It wasn't time yet. Wei Jun wanted to make sure his target couldn't dodge when he attacked. Surprise was necessary.

Wei Jun waited as Sun Ruan and Xuang Bei battled for a few more minutes until it came to the point that Sun Ruan was finally on his knees and Xuang Bei was about to deliver the finishing strike. It was only then that he moved. Wei Jun moved with the maximum of his speed, enhanced by Qi, and attacked Xuang Bei before he could even react.

Wei Jun kicked Xuang Bei's arm from the right side, throwing him away into the woods or what remained of the woods as most of the area was cleared due to the old men's fight.

Wei Jun looked at Sun Ruan, who was bloodied and on his knees. Wei Jun extended his hand to help him stand up while Xuang Bei recovered from that strike and jumped into the air, landing with an explosion on the ground a little away from them.

"And who would you be?" Xuang Bei asked as he touched his mangled arm in several places, with no indication of pain on his face even though he was also bleeding from some places.

"You don't need to know." Wei Jun simply replied while Sun Ruan collected himself and consumed something from a small bottle that helped him restore some of his health.

"Then why put your life in danger to save him?" Xuang Bei once again asked.

"Well, I can't just let you kill my grandfather." Wei Jun replied.

"Hahahaha." Xuang Bei laughed out loud before he said, "Lucky me. I get to end two generations today of the same family."

Wei Jun remained silent while Sun Ruan said, "I will take charge in attacking him, but you need to provide me with support and distraction."

Against an opponent like Xuang Bei, support and distraction meant only certain death. Sun Ruan knew that, yet he was still pushing that role on Wei Jun.

'Ruthless indeed.' Wei Jun commented inwardly, but that was also why he was doing what needed to be done.

Wei Jun prepared as well; after all, his target today was on his last legs. He couldn't miss that opportunity otherwise, there was a great chance it might never come again.
