Stuck in a Chinese novel

[You have consumed a health pill]

[Health has been fully restored]

[You cannot take a health pill for the next ten minutes]

[You have taken a Qi replenishing pill]

[Qi has been fully restored]

[You cannot consume another Qi replenishing pill for the next hour]

Wei Jun had obtained ten pills from when he completed his first-ever side quest. But he didn't use it, those pills were without a limit, so he couldn't test the limit of Qi replenishing pills through those pills.

As Wei Jun felt full of power, he shot forward and hit his opponent. Wei Jun intended to break the arm of the man he had managed to damage before. The hit connected but it didn't break. However, Wei Jun had managed to deliver quite a bit of damage.

Since it worked, Wei Jun moved forward without giving his opponent another chance and delivered a piercing kick to the same spot, successfully shattering the arm of his opponent even through the Qi armament's armor.

"FU*K!!" Ju Bai Lu cursed and winced in pain, he backed off but he couldn't as his opponent wasn't giving him a chance.

"Don't get too full of yourself!" Ju Bai Lu yelled as he also spun and delivered a kick to Wei Jun but Wei Jun guarded himself with both of his arms crossed in front of him. Unfortunately, the power through the kick was strong enough to still throw Wei Jun back once again.

Although Wei Jun wasn't hurt much, his Qi had decreased significantly but it was still left by a half amount. Wei Jun decided to stay back and start the game of cat and mouse. Wei Jun wasn't confident in terms of stats and he couldn't afford to lose his already minuscule Qi compared to his opponent.

Ju Bai Lu didn't chase however, being cautious as ever, he pulled out a radio from his pocket and said, "Get in here, all of you!"

Wei Jun heard that loud and clear and tutted. His plan to agitate his opponent failed so he opted for a different approach and headed straight in to deal as much damage as he could. Wei Jun that once the people from the outside came in, he wouldn't be able to deal with this guy and he was the one Wei Jun needed to kill the most.

Ju Bai Lu saw Wei Jun throw caution out of the window and come at him head straight. Ju Bai Lu didn't make the same mistake as earlier and stepped back to create some distance between himself and Wei Jun.

Wei Jun pulled a gold explosive out of his inventory and threw it at Ju Bai Lu. Ju Bai Lu didn't know what it was but he wasn't curious enough to find out. He kept creating distance but Wei Jun wasn't counting on hurting him with the grenade in the first place.

The explosive went off, creating a small visual blockage that was all Wei Jun needed. He pulled out the RPG launcher from his inventory and as soon as he was done aiming, the residual effects of the explosive disappeared, letting Ju Bai Lu what was in Wei Jun's hand.

"What the…" Ju Bai Lu couldn't help but say but he didn't have enough reaction time when Wei Jun pulled the trigger.

Ju Bai Lu wasn't worried about the launcher's effects because he knew he wouldn't be harmed, however, he knew that quite a good chunk of his Qi would be gone for good.

And as he expected, his Qi after getting shot by the rocket was gone by a good amount but that wasn't the worst part of it.

Somehow a belt of grenade next came to his feet and…

Boom!

Before the team on the outside could get in, the building exploded, leaving rubble in its wake. The team from the outside didn't move and remained in their spot because the embers of fire were still strong.

Just as they were thinking what to do, two figures jumped out from underneath the rubble, unscathed from the effects of the explosions but one of them had a visible scowl on his face while the other one had half an assault rifle in his hands.

Wei Jun didn't bother to aim at Ju Bai Lu because he knew it would be useless and instead aimed at the team that was a bit distance away. He wanted to get some of them while they were still stunned and confused from their plans going awry.

The team on the outside noticed a gun being aimed at them but they weren't fast enough for a cover as bullets rained down on them. Four of the mercenaries were caught in fire and killed on the spot while some others were shot in miscellaneous spaces.

Seeing his support being gunned down, Ju Bai Lu also chose to be a little reckless and shot himself at Wei Jun while he was still busy shooting at the mercenary team.

Ju Bai Lu bashed into Wei Jun but Wei Jun seemed to have been prepared for that as he let out a wave of Qi from his body infused with five points of his Qi. It didn't hurt Ju Bai Lu but his Qi armor had had enough and crumbled down. Though Ju Bai Lu's Qi reinforcement didn't annul, Wei Jun wasn't after that anyway.

Wei Jun grabbed Ju Bai Lu by the arm, intending to let some Qi into his system. Ju Bai Lu saw that and he wasn't just going to sit around and do nothing. He redirected all his Qi into his other arm and brought it down on Wei Jun.

Wei Jun also didn't back off but he could only let two points of Qi inside Wei Jun before he was struck by a strong hit that threw him at least 100 meters away from his spot.

As for Ju Bai Lu, he couldn't help but yell as he felt something burning his arm from the inside. He put everything aside and focused on restraining the Qi that was inside his system.

He could feel his arm going lethargic and was worried that if he did nothing, his arm would be gone so without intending to take a risk, he decided to abort the mission and turned around to leave but Wei Jun wasn't just going to let him leave.

Wei Jun's Qi armament was gone and he had been dealt some damage but he still had half of his health and enough Qi to activate Qi armament and for some discharge. He didn't have enough for Qi empowerment but that wasn't needed since his opponent was out of one arm for good now. Wei Jun wanted to let Qi into Ju Bai Lu's other arm but he couldn't and had to choose his already shattered arm.

Still, Ju Bai Lu was busy trying to restrain Wei Jun's blazing hot Qi so he wouldn't be able to give his hundred percent to the fight anymore. Wei Jun wasn't going to let him escape after so much damage so he shot at him but unfortunately, his path was blocked by two men in black ops outfits, the same as Ju Bai Lu.

[Qi gathering realm]

[Strength 32]

[Agility 33]

[Stamina 39]

[Qi 56]

[Qi gathering realm]

[Strength 35]

[Agility 31]

[Stamina 30]

[Qi 61]

Both of these blockers seemed to be cultivators but even with their Qi armaments activated, their stats were still lower than Wei Jun so Wei Jun wasn't worried about them. However, these two didn't seem to be worried about their lives. They were trying to buy time for Ju Bai Lu to get away and were going all out from the beginning.

They focused all of their power in their fists, although their Qi wasn't on the outside which would deliver good damage, it was on the inside but it still made their body very strong and the power in their first and final attacks wasn't something Wei Jun could easily ignore.

"Tch." Wei Jun could feel the power in their attacks and he knew he wouldn't come out unscathed after this attack. This was an attack of desperation, a final attack like the man he had faced back at the Tian family compound.

He had also gone out in the end by delivering one final attack that was strong enough to turn the area around them into a wasteland. These attacks, however, were more polished, refined, and more destructive than that one.

That meant that Wei Jun was not going to be fine after this attack and no doubt, Ju Bai Lu would have escaped by then. But Ju Bai Lu was the last of his concerns. His primary concern was surviving this attack and he couldn't do it by solely relying on Qi armament.

That only left him with one choice, use Qi empowerment to increase his attacks and tank the attack but unfortunately, his Qi wasn't enough for that, and he didn't have enough Qi to use the skill to increase his stats.

"Fu*k." He murmured annoyingly as he opened the inventory and searched for the red pill he had received thanks to his torture side quest.
