Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 57: Encounter with a cultivator (1)

'What the… Why did his stats reduce?' Wei Jun asked as he took a breather because the beef man wasn't as fast as before.

[His Qi must have not been enough to provide Qi armament]

[So he should be replenishing it right now to use it again]

The explanation reminded Wei Jun about his discussion with the system about how cultivators didn't train their outer bodies but focused on inner cultivation instead and whenever needed, they would use Qi to temporarily increase their stats.

Wei Jun didn't think for another second and jumped at the beef man at full speed. The beef man was taken aback by Wei Jun's speed which was almost two times higher than his but he was sure he couldn't feel any Qi armament Wei Jun. The beef man didn't think for another second and dodged only to be deceived by Wei Jun with a kick in the stomach.

The strike delivered by Wei Jun was strong but not as strong when Wei Jun was hit so the beef man didn't fly through the air but it was still very painful.

Wei Jun only had one functioning arm and even that was slightly damaged but Wei Jun made full use of it delivering a jab to the beef man's chin. The man once again tried to dodge but Wei Jun's speed was greater than the man and he was hit right in the chin by Wei Jun.

His vision became cloudy by the strong hit and his impaired vision couldn't see where Wei Jun's next hit was headed. The beef man was kicked straight in the groin by Wei Jun and he knelt on the ground while his hands clutched his groin. Wei Jun didn't have an HP meter for the man so he couldn't tell how injured he was but he was sure the damage wasn't that much.

"Who sent you?" Wei Jun asked while he pulled another gun out of the inventor and shot the beef man in the foot.

"Ahhh!!!" The beef man screamed in pain out loud but Wei Jun had no mercy for him as he shot him once again and asked while he screamed again, "WHO SENT YOU?!!!"

Wei Jun's voice was loud and full of authority but it wasn't like he could get an answer right at the moment amidst the man's screams. He had no choice but to wait and when he felt that the pain had subsided a bit after a few seconds, he raised the beef man's head roughly and asked while pointing the gun at his eye, "I will ask you nicely one last time, who sent you?"

The man blinked, there were still traces of pain all over his face as he gritted his teeth and replied with great difficulty, "Fu… FU*K YOU!"

Wei Jun didn't like the answer and pointed the gun at the man's ear and said, "I did tell you I was asking nicely the last time." Wei Jun shot the man in the ear and tore it clean off. The man screamed once again with tame curses that didn't even come close to Wei Jun's curses.

Wei Jun didn't care even a bit and shot the man in the leg a few times. "Who sent you?" Wei Jun asked while the man writhed in pain from different parts of the body and his hands proved to be insufficient to clutch them all.

Wei Jun asked again but the man didn't reply. Wei Jun was fed up and was about to ask one last time when he heard a snicker from the man. Soon, the man began to chuckle and those small chuckles turned into a burst of full-blown laughter.

Wei Jun saw that there was no use in interrogating him under the current circumstances and since the man wasn't afraid for his life, he saw no use in prolonging this any further. He raised his gun, aimed at the head of the beef man, and shot him. The only difference. The strike didn't connect this time.

[Qi gathering realm]

[Strength 51]

[Stamina 42]

[Agility 31]

[Qi 48]

The Qi armament was back up although the stats were lowered than before. Wei Jun didn't hold back and kept pressing the trigger of his gun to shoot the man but he was unaffected by the bullets as they kept bouncing off of him. Wei Jun stored the gun back in and turned around to run away.

Wei Jun was in the middle of his run when he was hit by something from the back and he skidded across the road once again, slamming into the SUV of his assailants.

[HP 4\\21]

Wei Jun was incredibly low on HP and he was sure that one more strike would warrant death. Wei Jun turned around and saw the man huffing and panting on the ground with one hand on the road as support to sit.

Wei Jun saw the debris of his car that was slammed into him. Wei Jun didn't have a good feeling when he noticed that his spine was damaged and he couldn't move his lower body anymore.

'Fuck.' He internally said before he saw the man stand up with great difficulty. The beef man raised his head to look at him. From the looks of it, one of his legs that Wei Jun had repeatedly shot was useless but still, he stood on one leg and stared at him.

Suddenly, a burst of something intangible emitted from him that struck Wei Jun. Wei Jun's health didn't decrease but it did make him experience what Qi was.

"I WILL KILL YOU!!! YOU LITTLE SH*T!!!!" Just as the man shouted, he launched himself at Wei Jun. Time seemed to slow down for Wei Jun as first of all, he gave up on getting information from the beef man. Second, he analyzed his condition. His condition was far from good and it seemed like he was still losing health just not enough to amount to one point.

Anything below the waist was useless and above the waist, one of the arms was broken only left one functioning but still a little damaged arm. All of this analysis left him with only one option.

A very expensive and painful option.

He pulled a little something out of his inventory while the beef man was halfway through. Well, a little something was the wrong description because it was hella long. About four feet. A gun heavy and long. Wei Jun pointed the sniper without the scope at the beef man charging at him who also noticed the gun but it was too late. His momentum couldn't be broken.

Wei Jun didn't think about anything else and just pulled the trigger with his right hand and was pushed back instantly. The recoil from the gun shattered his arm completely while pushing him in the car, even raising and moving the car a bit. As for the beef man, well, there wasn't much left of him anymore.

The bullet from the sniper struck him right in the face, exploding it into flesh and bits, ignoring his Qi armament and continued its journey through his body all the way out of his groin, leaving only two legs that were barely recognizable because the force had skinned them as well, leaving most of the bone only.

As for Wei Jun, well, his only functioning limb was now shattered and mangled beyond recognition and the pain he was in was otherworldly.

[HP 1\\21]

[Warning]

[HP below 10%]

[Preparing countermeasures]

[Shutting all systems to prevent further loss of life force]

Wei Jun couldn't register most of it but he understood that he was in a very dire condition. Wei Jun couldn't see properly so he was lucky that the notifications from the system weren't only visual but also audible as well and sent directly to his brain because the next notification he heard was a life blessing, literally.

[Ten minutes are up]

[The user can now use healing pills]

With his fading consciousness because of many reasons, he was able to command the system with great will.

'Con…sume… a… hea…ling… pi…ll' Wei Jun lost consciousness at that point when suddenly a warm current passed through him and he felt reinvigorated. His wounds began to heal and his shattered bones began to mend and repair themselves. The process itself was accompanied by pain. His bones crackled and his muscles tightened and the warm current didn't help in the least to lessen that pain.

The most pain he felt was when his spine was being repaired and he could feel his legs once again.

His right arm which was turned and broken at unimaginable angles finally healed accompanied with pain as well.

"Haa!!! Ha!!!" Wei Jun inhaled and exhaled in a loud voice as the pain finally ended. To be honest, his earlier pain had numbed due to his broken bones but when they were mended and repaired, he felt them thoroughly, making the pain something else.

When his HP was full, it was almost as if it was magical. The pain was gone with every other feeling. He didn't know how to explain this feeling. He realized that the healing pill was more than just healing minor injuries. It could bring someone back from death just like it fixed him.

While he was still marveling at this fact, suddenly he felt empowerment rise from within his abdomen as a bunch of notifications appeared in his view.

[You have defeated an opponent with Qi]

[Stats have been obtained]
