[Death Qi: 100\100]

[All skills used by death Qi are twice as strong]

[The cooldown of each skill would be twice the normal]

Wei Jun looked at the new information in his vision. The death Qi enhanced the power of his skills to the next level however, it came with a drawback. The cooldown of the skills. For now, he only had one important skill that needed cooldown time.

Qi empowerment.

The usual cooldown of the skill was five minutes but if he were to activate the skill with the death Qi, his stat increase would be 50 instead of the usual 25. However, where the cooldown increased from five minutes to ten minutes, the duration of the skill didn’t. it would still be activated for five minutes.

Wei Jun turned his gaze to his opponent who was slowly approaching. Wei Jun could tell that Run Long still hadn’t used all of his power. That was why he was still calm even after that display of speed.

He had something else up his sleeves. Wei Jun could rule out poison because the cultivator’s special forces must have taken his belongings. All Run Long right now was his own power.

But it was enough to defeat Wei Jun ad so he didn’t need anything extra.

Wei Jun smiled. That arrogance would be Run Long’s downfall. Although Wei Jun never had a confrontation like this before, he was still adept at fighting. Run Long, who was still getting used to his new power, wasn’t a match for Wei Jun.

‘I will win,’ Wei Jun thought inwardly.

[Cooldown for the skill ‘Qi empowerment’ has ended]

As if following his determination, the system informed him of the skill cooldown time.

[Death Qi has been used]

[Skill ‘Qi empowerment’ has been used]

[Death Qi: 25\100]

Wei Jun didn’t have enough for the Qi armament so he would have to just go with that for now. Still, the power he felt welling from his inside was enough to make him feel something else. He hadn’t felt like this ever before. No. He was wrong. He had felt that before.

Just so long ago that his memory took a little while to jog.

When he took his first life and by doing so, took what was rightfully his. When he conquered. That was when he felt that. The rush of destruction and annihilation. The rush to conquer.

Run Long felt the darkness of the sinister Qi welling from Wei Jun and stepped back. It was the same pressure he had felt before. It was this feeling that had allowed him to break through to the next stage. Something that was years away, was achieved by that feeling of unbridled anger. That was what he felt right now, anger.

“You!” He didn’t think of anything else and launched at Wei Jun at his full speed only to come to a complete halt as Wei Jun’s palm caught his fist, completely ending the momentum behind his fist.

Wei Jun raised his face, a smile on his face that was as sinister as it was handsome. A smile that made Run Long terrified.

Wei Jun delivered a palm strike with five points of Qi and struck Run Long straight in the abdomen.

Run Long felt as if air had been knocked out of him as his internals shook and the next moment, his Qi barrier also disappeared.

Run Long was thrown back by quite a bit before he clutched his stomach in pain. It wasn’t that the strike Wei Jun delivered was very powerful. He could have still endured it. he could have if it was any other type of Qi.

He felt as if his own Qi was running wild, becoming unstable with each passing moment. And due to that, his skills weren’t activating fully, dropping their efficiency significantly.

He didn’t have much time as he raised his hands in a cross to block a strike heading straight at him. This time, there wasn’t damage like before, but it was still something that shook Run Long.

Wei Jun hadn’t put in any Qi in this attack because he could afford to do so. Wei Jun could no longer consume a Qi restoration pill and the one that he could was too precious for this situation. It wasn’t a life-and-death situation. Wei Jun was confident that if he couldn’t defeat Run Long, he would at least be able to run away.

But, he wasn’t there to run away. He was there to kill Run Long for once and for all.

Wei Jun delivered an uppercut and then a spinning kick, both in quick succession, not giving Run Long any chance to counterattack. Run Long has reused his Qi armament and now he was running low on Qi as well.

Whereas Wei Jun still had five minutes, he had no defense against Qi. If Wei Jun was struck by an attack from Qi, he wouldn’t be able to tolerate the damage even with his high defense because defense only increased his outer resilience. It did nothing for his inside.

For that, he needed Qi and the only skill that provided him with an overall defense was Qi armament.

And that chance came soon enough. Run Long managed to find an opening in Wei Jun’s movements and delivered his own punch full of Qi. However, Wei Jun was able to block it with his fist but, his fist burned in the process as Run Long’ Qi seeped into his hand and damaged it from the inside.

Wei Jun ignored the pain and delivered a five-point Qi attack to his abdomen once again.

Run Long had his bonkers knocked out with that strike but instead of backing down, he gathered all of his remaining Qi in his other hand and brought it down on Wei Jun.

Wei Jun also only had fifteen points of death Qi left so he didn’t hold back and delivered a five-point Qi attack of his own.

Both of their attacks met in the middle and a shockwave, a stronger shockwave than any before in their exchange emitted from that single point that blew both of them and everything in the area away.

The dust cloud encased the area, blocking everything from view. Slowly it was settled down and both of the individuals came into view.

Wei Jun was standing, breathing hard as his shoulder and half of his right chest had been burned. And there was no arm. His right arm was gone.

[HP -41]

[Warning]

[Critical damage]

[Effect ‘Excessive bleed’ has taken place]

[Emergency measures have been taken]

[Effect ‘Excessive bleed’ has been lifted]

[Death Qi has been fully used to heal the user]

[Death Qi: 0\100]

Wei Jun was still panting heavily. Although the system had used his remaining Qi to stop his excessive bleeding, the Qi wasn’t enough for full emergency service. Wei Jun was injured a lot. His insides felt like they were burning and with no Qi there to protect him, he was in a very bad state.

Luckily for him, he just didn’t have one elixir in his inventory and shop.

[Phoenix tear has been used]

Wei Jun began to feel better and before long, his organs began to heal themselves and it wasn’t long before they were fully healed. Half of his arm had also regenerated but the Phoenix tear wasn’t enough for his arm to fully regenerate.

However, his other hand was now fully healed. He equipped the special gun he had Zi Huan made and made his way to the unfortunate man who didn’t have the luxury of the system with him.

Run Long wasn’t as badly damaged as Wei Jun. His limbs were intact and no big damage could be seen. However, the left side of his chest and arm were fully black. As if they were being eaten by something dark and it was slowly spreading.

“You…. cough! Cough!” Run Long began but he couldn’t. he was too far gone to even mutter proper words but with his last breath, he managed to say his final words, “Mas…ter will… fi…nd… yo..”

Wei Jun raised his gun and pulled the trigger before Run Long could even finish his last words. Wei Jun stepped forward and pried his hand inside Run Long’s head, digging the bullet out of his skull with his bare hand and letting his body fall. He had done the same to the two cultivators he had shot.

He didn’t want to leave the trace of the bullet behind. The metal with which the bullet was made didn’t exist in this world. But the idea could be copied on some other stronger metals.

He didn’t want that. He wanted to keep an edge with himself.

Wei Jun turned around and left the place while a flurry of notifications swarmed his view. He was too tired to check them and his first priority was to get out of there.

[You have consumed a stamina pill]

[Stamina has been fully restored]

Wei Jun felt refreshed and after making sure there was no trace of his left behind, he began to run and left the area.

Once he was gone, he couldn’t see what happened after he left. The body of Run Long began to float in the air before a wormhole, a wormhole that was blue on the edges but dark on the inside, began to form and expand in front of Run Long’s body.

Soon after, a hand appeared from the other side of the wormhole and grabbed Run Long’s body, dragging it inside.

The wormhole then disappeared, leaving the area as it was. Destroyed.
