Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 186 : Death Qi increase

Wei Jun looked at the number of chainsaws lying on the floor. The body of the aura user was so tough that he had to use two chainsaws to hack through just one limb.

He used twenty-seven chainsaws to finally cut the main into five pieces, six to be exact. Two arms, two legs, and one head that left another piece mainly known as the rest of his body.

Wei Jun purchased a special box from the shop that had something similar to some preservation technique used on it. It would keep the body of the bald man from deteriorating.

[Having a strong body isn't necessarily a good thing, huh?]

Wei Jun agreed with the system's words. Just because the body of the bald man was tough, Wei Jun had to use many more chainsaws and in doing so, the pain to the bald man was also massive.

To the point, he had browned himself from both fronts. Wei Jun sighed and just stored the head, arms, and legs. He left the body to be discarded somehow.

"Bury it, burn it, or feed it to your dogs. Do whatever you want to do." Wei Jun said to the horrified warden.

The warden knew that Wei Jun was a maniac with what he had shown but he didn't know he was this much of a lunatic.

Fear gripped his heart as he regretted his decision to make enemies with Wei Jun. Wei Jun looked at him with a smile as if he could read the warden's face and said, "Now that you know who you're dealing with. Make better choices."

The warden didn't say anything but left to carry out Wei Jun's orders and deal with the heavy mess created in his prison. If this went out to the authorities, his job would be the least of his concerns.

With the warden gone, Wei Jun checked his system which was blinking and showing notifications since earlier.

[You have removed a crucial plot point]

[Four events have been altered]

[Two events have been removed]

[Your level has increased by five]

[You are now level 48]

Wei Jun smiled as he read the number of notifications but the good wasn't over yet.

[You have defeated an opponent with cosmic power]

[Conversion to Qi is not possible]

[Power would be substituted]

[Your death Qi has increased by four]

[Death Qi 191\\191]

Wei Jun's smile widened as he saw the notifications. It was safe to say that so far, there was no way of increasing his death Qi but with this, he may have found the solution to that.

The only problem there was that the system said that power couldn't be converted to Qi which meant it might be possible. In this case, he might have to look for ways to stop that because he needed to increase his death Qi more than anything.

Death Qi was the only thing that didn't have a level limit or at least it looked like so because Death Qi wasn't related to a stat, unlike his yang Qi that was related to his Qi stat.

[Since he was a four-star aura master, your death Qi increased by four]

[Maybe that's a pattern]

'Maybe.' Wei Jun said before he asked, 'But I don't want maybe. Is there a surefire way to increase death Qi?'

[Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with death Qi]

[You could try to deal with the evil cultivators]

[Maybe your superior power absorbs theirs]

[It is only a guess though]

It somewhat made sense and Wei Jun made sure to give it a try.

The only problem was that he hadn't faced an evil cultivator yet. Where was he going to suddenly find one?

[You do know that you're in a prison for cultivators, right?]

Wei Jun's expression dropped at the obvious statement of the system. Still, he coughed and said, 'I have a lot of things on my mind.'

The system remained quiet to that remark and said…

[The warden is already under your thumb]

[Why not just take this chance?]

The system was right. There was a chance Wei Jun might not get it again so he went to find the warden.

He walked through the entire prison without fear and the guards made way for him out of fear as well.

He finally arrived in front of the warden's office after a ten-minute walk. As he opened the door, he saw the warden feeding his wife carefully.

The warden was about to yell at the unannounced visitor but when he saw who it was, he clamped his mouth shut and swallowed the words on his tongue.

"You must really care for your wife, don't you, warden?" Wei Jun asked, or more like said, without expecting a reply.

"Yet you went after someone else's girl. What do they call it? Karma or something? Never believed in it but I might be tempted to now." Wei Jun said as he took the seat of the warden.

"What do you want?" The warden wasn't in the mood to engage in a conversation with Wei Jun and his wife started trembling when Wei Jun came.

"Evil cultivators. Do you have any of them in your prison?" Wei Jun asked.

"…" For a moment the warden didn't reply. But he was still sensible enough to know that asking why Wei Jun was asking was useless.

So he simply chose to reply, "I have. One."

"Just one?" Wei Jun asked with his eyebrow raised.

"This is a prison for low-level cultivators and evil cultivators, no matter how low their level is, are treated as high-ranking threats. The one that is here is awaiting transfer. They would never leave evil cultivators here." The warden said.

"Good." Wei Jun said as he stood up.

"Good?" The warden asked.

"Yes, good. Now you have someone to pin all the blame for this mess and receive compensation from the people who put him in here." Wei Jun said as he stood up.

Realization dawned upon the warden as he said, "But I would have to explain how he got out."

"Just say he had something hidden in his body." Wei Jun said.

"That's impossible. He was properly checked." The warden said.

"Even from the inside?" Wei Jun asked.

The warden didn't reply to that because no, he wasn't. It was true that the evil cultivator was checked and even a cavity search was done but what if he was hiding something in his stomach? That would explain him getting some artifacts to get out of prison.

"Then you just have to say that you had no choice but to kill him. I will help you with that." Wei Jun made his way to the door and said, "Come on now. You can feed your wife later. She won't be going anywhere unless you make me to."

The woman whimpered at that sentence and the warden also made a nasty expression but in the end, he swallowed the curses at the tip of his tongue and guided Wei Jun to the restricted part of the prison.

A part where even the solitary prisoners weren't confined.

There were just ten cells like that and in one of those cells, there was just one individual.

When the warden opened the cell, the scrawny man inside with a natural sinister expression turned to him.

He smiled as he said, "What is it, warden? Here to let me out?"

"Nope." The prisoner heard one word before his world went blank. Wei Jun didn't wait for a second and twisted the neck of the man with all his strength. It wasn't difficult as the man was also wearing a limiter bracelet.

"Take his body out and then disfigure it a bit. Disfigure it a lot. Make it so that he died in battle. Don't forget to get your stories straight and injure some of your men too. Yourself as well." Wei Jun instructed as he let go of the scrawny man and left the solitary room.

The warden looked at the corpse of the evil cultivator who was so nonchalantly killed as if the killer was discussing what to eat for dinner.

There was no hesitation in Wei Jun's moves as if he was doing something that came as a natural thing to him.

Wei Jun walked out of the cell without wasting another breath. As much as he would have liked to study how the power of an evil cultivator worked or if there was any way to increase that power, according to the system, the power of darkness or any other branch could be increased but the power of death couldn't be.

In other words, there was no point in trying to learn an evil cultivation technique because Wei Jun's power didn't work the same way.

Seeing that the evil cultivation techniques were no longer an option, Wei Jun didn't find wasting time to be a good move.

He left the area and made his way to his own cell.

He still had a lot to deal with and the visit from Yan Rong was still pending. Wei Jun could prove his innocence somehow but he found that way faster and cheaper.

But all said and done, he still had to spend two nights in jail so he decided to make himself comfortable in his cell until then.

When he finally arrived in his cell, only then did he check the blinking notifications in his view.

[You have defeated an opponent with the power of death]

[You have received…]
