I made a terrible mistake in the last chapter and I’m still trying to fix it. It’s about Li Wei and Yan Rong running from the CSF, trying to keep up the barrier. A problem occurred but now, for some reason, I can’t change it. I will look into it and hopefully get it done by tomorrow.

Also, “Veil of Death” would be changed to “Death Veil.”

So sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll do better in the future.

~~

Rin slowly made her way towards Wei Jun, her figure draped in a whitish glow just like Wei Jun’s death veil, only shinier and somehow beautiful enough for even Wei Jun to appreciate.

Rin’s hair was floating in the air magically and her feet were off the ground as well. She was literally walking on air.

Wei Jun looked at his stats. It was good that the time for the health pill was over and he could take another which he did and restored his health. However, his Qi was another problem. The cooldown for the Qi replenishment pills was still at 48 minutes which was a very long time given Wei Jun’s current condition.

Wei Jun sighed and turned to his treasures.

[Qi replenishment pill (Enhanced) x2]

The Qi pills he obtained when he killed the politician after he tortured him properly. It was gruesome and still made Wei Jun smile, but what made his smile wider was the reward he obtained. Qi pills without a cooldown.

However, thanks to his training while assimilating with Yang Qi, he had used up most of them.

He now had only two left and his current situation required him to have way more of them.

‘Tell me you have more of them in your shop.’

[…]

‘Why are you quiet, you mothertucker?’

[You said to tell you if I have any]

[Wouldn’t make sense to say anything when I don’t]

‘You useless piece of f***.’

Wei Jun took one pill and both types of his Qi were restored immediately. Yang Qi was still quite a lot left but the problem was that Yang Qi was actually very useless against Rin. She was too strong for that and her holy Qi also wasn’t affected by yang Qi.

Wei Jun felt the power coursing through his veins as he activated ‘Qi empowerment’ using Death Qi and also remembered to activate ‘Unknown’ so his Qi couldn’t be traced but he did that using yang Qi.

Once he was ready, he readied his sword but didn’t activate the death veil. Not only because it was Qi consuming, but also because Rin wasn’t in his range yet. She could easily activate her skill and teleport away.

Wei Jun braced himself for an attack from any side and retaliated but as it happened, Rin wasn’t teleporting this time. She just kept making her way over to him in slow steps. However, with each step, Wei Jun’s wariness increased by a notch and he was barely keeping himself from lunging at her.

Wei Jun waited and waited nervously for a few more moments but when it didn’t look like Rin was going to attack, Wei Jun took a step forward. Nothing. Rin showed no response. Seeing that there was no response, Wei Jun tried taking another step forward. Another, then another until he was close enough to her.

Seeing that she was in his range, Wei Jun activated the death veil and engulfed Rin in his radius. However, the look of relief on his face changed when Rin teleported.

‘What the…’ Before Wei Jun could even properly curse, Rin appeared right in front of his eyes. Wei Jun hurriedly slashed her with his sword without even properly thinking but Rin disappeared again and appeared behind him.

“What the hell is this!!!” Wei Jun yelled at the system which calmly replied…

[She got used to your trick]

[Though there is a silver lining]

“Wha—!!!” Wei Jun was about to yell when Rin hit him from the side and sent him flying through the air all over to the other side of the barrier. Luckily, he was able to avoid damage because he had covered himself in yang Qi but…

[QP -1017]

A single hit cost him that much of his Qi. He didn’t even want to consider what the prolonged fight would cost him.

[She’s using more of her Qi]

[Angels can replenish their health from almost zero to maximum]

[There’s only one thing they can’t recover from]

[They can’t do anything about their Qi and I don’t see an elixir to help with that on her]

“How lo–!!!” Wei Jun was once again interrupted mid-yell and thrown to the other side of the barrier once again as if he were a ragdoll.

[A few minutes]

[Maybe]

When Wei Jun heard the system’s reply and looked at the newest notification in his view, he yelled…

[QP -1419] Discover hidden stories at empire

“BE MORE CERTAIN!!!”

Angh!

Wei Jun grunted as he swung his sword without even thinking about it. Maybe luck was finally on his side and his sword struck the newly appeared Rin who was cut by the sword very deeply even though the sword felt like it wouldn’t even cut through paper.

Rin, for the first time, moaned in pain. She looked down at her cut and then back at Wei Jun, her expression the same as before but Wei Jun could see anger in her eyes. She grabbed Wei Jun by his neck and threw him away like he didn’t even weigh anything to her.

Wei Jun flew through the air and crashed into the building, breaking through some of the walls, and finally came to a stop once he was inside some sort of room.

Before he could even collect himself, Rin appeared in front of him and grabbed him by his neck once again. She picked him up and brought him face-to-face with her. She looked him deep in the eyes before she said, “What would it take to kill you, you vermin?”

There was clear contempt in her voice and she wasn’t asking Wei Jun because he was also trying to kill her. No, it sounded more like she was talking to a species so beneath her that she couldn’t even stand looking at him.

Wei Jun smiled even though his face was becoming red and redder as time passed by. He dropped his sword when he was thrown around but he learned a trick from that…

Wei Jun equipped something from his inventory and stabbed Rin with it but the blade didn’t even go through her tough skin.

She simply looked down at the blade before she turned her eyes back on him.

‘Uh-oh.’ Wei Jun could only say that in his mind as Rin pulled back a fist and rammed it into his stomach.

[QP: 0]

[HP -31]

Wei Jun felt like his life was sucked out of him and he couldn’t help but breathe loudly.

Rin still kept looking at him, her white eyes glaring deep into his dark black eyes. Although it would have been confusing for anyone else, Wei Jun could still sense the contempt in her eyes as clear as day.

Wei Jun raised his hand, and even though he felt like dying, he still raised it and hit Rin with it. Rin didn’t even bother to stop him and raised her own fist to attack Wei Jun when she felt like he was saying something.

“I…. co… yo… tr….” His voice was so inaudible that she couldn’t even hear him with her super senses.

“What?” She brought him closer to him as a final act of mercy and let him say his final words, “What are you saying, you vermin?”

“I copied your trick,” Wei Jun quietly said before he thrust his hand forward. Rin stopped. She felt like something was stabbing her and when she looked down, it was Wei Jun’s hand.

[Qi construct]

[-100 Death Qi]

Around Wei Jun’s hand was a dense mass of Death Qi, which Rin wasn’t impervious against. It was difficult for Wei Jun to maintain the construction and even more difficult for Rin to let her guard down, but Wei Jun managed to do it in the end.

Rin’s hand loosened around Wei Jun she felt her body failing. Wei Jun hurriedly used the opportunity and kicked her with his legs, freeing himself from her and falling down on the ground.

Cough!!

He coughed and let out a lot of blood from his mouth. He was severely injured from that one hit after all.

Rin, on the other hand, placed her hand on her heart, and intense white light emitted from her hand but it didn’t seem to be working.

She increased the power output but it still didn’t work.

“Hahahaha…” Wei Jun was laughing a little away from her. He looked at her, madness in his eyes as he said, “There’s only one thing you freaks don’t heal from.”

[Hey!]

The system interjected because it was also technically an angel.

“Death.” Wei Jun, however, didn’t care. He finally dealt with everything he could and he could now breathe.

Rin looked at him, her expression unchanged but her eyes contained an emotion Wei Jun hadn’t seen before. Fear.

“Hahaha!!!”

“HAHAHAHA!!!”

But that only made him laugh out loud. Seeing him laugh like that, Rin accepted her death. But fortunately for her, she still had one last shot left in her. She blinked and appeared in front of Wei Jun, her hand going for his chest when something appeared in Wei Jun’s hand and he swung it.

Slash!

Thud…

Rin’s severed head fell on the ground as Wei Jun looked into her dimming eyes and said, “Rest in hell, you pale bit*h.”

Several notifications began to appear in Wei Jun’s vision but he didn’t have the time to look at them. He still had to get out of there. The barrier would soon come down and the CSF on the outside would be onto him. He had to protect himself and run away.

“I’m afraid you’re too late for that.” Wei Jun froze as he heard a voice from behind him. He turned and his eyes widened in confusion.

“What the hell are you doing here?”
