Still, the attack was too wide and much for Wei Jun to have blocked all of it.

Wei Jun raised his arms in a cross position to protect his face and vitals as the strike in the form of small prickly needles penetrated his body, some negated by the Death Qi while others successfully entered his body.

Wei Jun has pushed a good ten meters away before the wide-area attack finally ended.

[HP -29]

He wasn’t hurt much but couldn’t help but be annoyed at the cliched play. Even when he was very quick in dealing with Nan Gaomeng, some side characters still arrived at her rescue.

And one of them was someone he knew.

“Seriously.” Wei Jun said as he looked at the eight new arrivals and added, “Why can’t things go my way for once?”

“You monster!” One of the eight individuals, a man at the front said as he witnessed the state Nan Gaomeng was in. Wei Jun, on the other hand, looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

“You’re kidding, right?” Wei Jun asked.

“What?” The man was confused.

“Three times.” Wei Jun raised his finger and said, “That’s how many times I’ve offered her to leave. To save her life. If she’s so intent on dying, why would that make me a monster?”

“That–” The man was about to argue when Wei Jun moved past him, shocking him by nicking his cheek. As blood trickled down his cheek, he slowly turned to Wei Jun who held something in his head.

A head.

The head of the woman standing next to the man.

“NO–!!!” The man couldn’t even properly yell before black whips appeared, extending from Wei Jun’s hand, and they slithered like snakes, cutting anything and everything in their path. Of course, that included the people around him too.

The man who was at the forefront was no exception. Wei Jun killed everyone and looked at the stat gain in his window only to be disappointed.

[Strength +5]

[Stamina +7]

[Agility +10]

[Error]

[Qi cannot be obtained due to the absence of a Qi core]

[Randomly substituting stats]

[Defense +7]

[Strength +1]

[Agility +1]

[Stamina +1]

[Charm +1]

[Luck +2]

The man at the forefront was a grandmaster and even he only gave so little stat gain. Wei Jun was immensely disappointed and turned to the girl whom he had been busy with before the rude interruption of the eight newcomers only to find her gone.

‘Now that I think about it…’ Wei Jun turned to count the dismembered pieces and only counted seven heads. There was one missing, or there was never one in the first place.

Wei Jun looked around but found no trace of anyone, not even Qi.

[They ran away]

‘…’ Wei Jun couldn’t help but think it was a pity. Still, his goal was never killing today. Today, he was just there to peacefully destroy everything that could help Li Fan Sho in the democratic world, leaving him with the only option of settling this in the martial world where Wei Jun had more backers than Li Fan Sho.

‘Let’s get to work.’ Wei Jun thought as he moved to the factory. There were still more to take care of after this one and many had to be destroyed beyond recovery.

~~

‘Now that’s a dilemma.’ Wei Jun thought as he looked at the notifications in his vision.

[Your party member Xing Xiaomei is in mortal danger]

[The user is advised to rescue her]

[Loss of the party member can be accompanied by penalties]

[Penalty in case of party member Xing Xiaomei’s death]

[Degradation of one cultivation realm]

The penalty was a little too severe for Wei Jun but that wasn’t what he was worried about. The dilemma that he was under was currently…

[Due to possible circumstances]

[Party member Xing Xiaomei cannot be summoned to the user]

[Would you like to teleport to her location?]

[Yes\No]

If he were to go now, he was sure Li Fan Sho would win. The question was to whether or not he was willing to risk his life and the answer wasn’t easy at all.

“Haa…” Wei Jun sighed as he couldn’t help but say once again, “Why won’t anything go my way for once.”

Before he raised his head and looked at the notifications in his view and said…

On the other side, Xing Xiaomei looked at the angry-looking Li Fan Sho who had a terrible expression on his face. It wasn’t the expression of a hero at the very least. If he had to be compared to someone based on that expression, then it would be that of a demon.

A demon of wrath.

“You bit*h!” Li Fan Sho said as he looked at the bloodied Xing Xiaomei who was bleeding into her mouth due to many internal injuries she incurred.

Even at the current moment, Li Fan Sho could feel something leaving him the more he fought the girl before him but no matter how hard he mulled on it, he never came up with an answer.

And the persistent women before him never let him come up with an answer. In truth, Li Fan Sho had never seen Xing Xiaomei ever before, nor in his past life or the life he currently lived. Xing Xiaomei was his piece of destiny that he was supposed to meet on one fateful day. The spirits had led him to that place, but he didn’t find her. Someone else had taken her away. He could still sense her presence but even that disappeared soon for some reason.

The only reason he could come up with was either her death or his connection with her had been cut off. So even when he was facing her, and almost killing her, he didn’t know the woman he was about to kill was his significant other.

Most of all, the actions of the woman made it hard to show her any mercy. She was foul mouthed, lethal, and most of all, persistent. Even when Li Fan Sho showed just a little bit of mercy, she would use it against him, instead of running away.

And now…

Li Fan Sho looked at his severed hand and he was filled with anger. Brimming with anger, there was only one thing left to do with the woman before him.

“I’ll fu*ing kill you!” Li Fan Sho thrust forward and intended to grab Xing Xiaomei’s neck with the hand he still had. Xing Xiaomei, on the other hand, had no means of defending herself. Her clothes were torn from several places, her skin was burned from several places, her left arm and leg were broken and there was a dent in the left side of her stomach.

She knew this strike would be the last and there’d be nothing she would be able to do against it. All efforts of defense or resistance were useless now.

‘Fu*k. Had I known, I’d make him pretend to be a rabbit for this favor,’ was all Xing Xiaomei could think before the hand was almost before her.

However…

“What took you so long?” She asked as she looked at the man standing before her with a yellow and black blend sword in his hand. Even the man charging at her had stopped when he felt the presence of the newly arrived man.

Wei Jun turned to look at her as the helmet on his face disappeared and his flawless face came into view. He looked at her and simply said, “Are you flashing?”

“One flash one million one second. You’ve been staring at me for ten now.” Xing Xiaomei said.

“Seriously.” Wei Jun said as he threw a healing pill at her which she caught with her working hand and ate, “Even world-class pro*titutes aren’t that expensive.”

“Then what does that say about me?” As if a magic spell had been cast on Xing Xiaomei, a quite high-ranking one, all her injuries healed and she was restored to the peak state. All the while Li Fan Sho remained in his place and didn’t move. He looked at the scene happening in front of him with great concentration.

Most of all…

‘He has no presence.’ Li Fan Sho thought.

Wei Jun stood before Li Fan Sho yet Li Fan Sho couldn’t detect his presence. It was as if the man before wasn’t there at all.

‘How?’ He couldn’t help but ask himself. This wasn’t the man whom he had encountered a few weeks ago. He was strong for his level but he wasn’t at this level.

“You.” Li Fan Sho said, garnering Wei Jun’s attention.

“What?” Wei Jun asked.

“You think your arrival changes anything?” Li Fan Sho asked.

Still, a grandmaster on the verge of breaking through to the next stage was too much even if the two of them were to band together.

“Nope.” Wei Jun simply replied but before he Li Fan Sho could say anything, Wei Jun continued, “But you see, I’m not the main villain of your story.”

“What?” Li Fan Sho asked after that nonsensical statement.

But Wei Jun simply smiled and pointed behind Li Fan Sho. Li Fan Sho turned around only to see an old man with silver color hair and long nails standing behind him.

“Tch.” Li Fan Sho understood what Wei Jun had done. He turned to the old man while he addressed Wei Jun, “Of all the people, you had to call her.”

“It’s been a while…” The old woman said, “…son.”
