Stuck in a Chinese novel

"Kugh!"

"Arggh!!"

The lizard and Wei Jun respectively grunted when both of them impaled each other. Wei Jun had managed to avoid a fatal strike by moving to the right but even he couldn't avoid getting impaled in the stomach by the lizard's spear.

But the true surprise was reserved for the lizard. Wei Jun had been using Yang Qi for a while now because he had run out of the Death Qi. However, Wei Jun hurriedly consumed a Qi replenishment pill to restore his Qi and created a spear at close range, impaling the lizard's knee.

Stomaching the pain, he was about to use the slash construction to end the fight once and for all but the lizard acted quickly and vanished from the spot, along with the impaled spear in Wei Jun's stomach. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

It appeared some distance away, ready to attack again but Wei Jun hurriedly regenerated his arm and healed his wounds with the green dragon's power. He slashed the lizard with the Death Qi who was about to jump at him. The lizard once again changed course mid-air and aiming for that moment, Wei Jun also pushed forward, meeting the lizard in an exchange, creating a spear from the Death Qi.

The long-ranged exchange was unfavorable to both of them. Wei Jun used too much Qi and the lizard used too much power to teleport. In the end, both of them were close rangers and that's how the fight ended up.

Wei Jun raised his spear and brought it down in a swift strike but the lizard raised its own, blocking the attack. The impact blew the water on the ground away and both of them felt the impact go through their bodies. Wei Jun was the first one to recover and attacked from the side which the lizard once again managed to block.

The shockwaves from their exchanges were massive and in an instant, both of them had exchanged at least ten attacks. The attacks were increasing in sharpness and intensity. Wei Jun's smaller size allowed him to be on the offensive with his nimble moves but the larger size of the lizard helped it to not only bear the brunt of those attacks but also counterattack by putting in more power when blocking Wei Jun's attacks.

Needless to say, Wei Jun was the one incurring more damage and his yang Qi was running out at a fast pace from healing him.

The good news for him was that the lizard couldn't focus on healing itself, so the state of their injuries was almost equal, with Wei Jun a little ahead but not doing so badly. He wasn't using Death Qi for any other purpose than creating spears but even that was bound to run out as it was already his third spear and adding the one from before and the slash, he had already used 500 points of Death Qi.

Finally, the lizard broke the standstill by teleporting away. Wei Jun also stopped. It wasn't working. The lizard was at a strict guard from Wei Jun's slashes that were the actual dangerous attacks for the lizard. Other than that, both of them were almost equal in strength, with the lizard in the lead, making things a little difficult for them.

The injury of the lizard in the leg was still healing since it hadn't had the time to focus on it so they were equal in terms of speed or rather, Wei Jun was faster.

"Haa… Haa…"

They both took deep breaths to calm their beating hearts. Wei Jun was in prim and proper shape but even that wouldn't last for long. His stamina was still a problem and he didn't have enough money to buy stamina pills from the shop. He hadn't had a chance to replenish his wealth because he had come straight to the military base from the Shannau city which he now realized was a terrible mistake.

'I have enough for one more…' Wei Jun checked his shop and he still had enough money to buy one more stamina pill. Since he stocked HP and QP pills, he didn't need to worry about them but his stamina was also crucial at this point.

'If only there was a way to keep him busy…' Wei Jun was tempted to lead the lizard towards the military personnel so they could keep it busy and he'd kill the lizard along with them but the problem of them dying in the dungeon still remained which was why that option was out.

There was only one option left.

Bait.

[Sounds risky]

'Unfortunately, that's the only option I got,' Wei Jun replied and consumed his last stamina pill, feeling energized. He inhaled deeply and then exhaled. He looked at the lizard who was also looking at him and prepared himself. His remaining Qi was enough for one last attack. An attack with his everything in it and delivering it at the point black range so that the lizard couldn't dodge.

Of course, the lizard letting its guard down was also a huge requirement otherwise, his plan wouldn't work.

Wei Jun readied him and jumped at the lizard. The lizard this time didn't move and simply raised its spear to block the attack. Once Wei Jun's attack was stopped, Wei Jun didn't push back but created another spear in his left hand, attacking from the side.

The lizard pushed the spear it was engaging so Wei Jun couldn't attack with that one and pulled it to his side to attack the second attack. The first spear dissolved into nothingness and Wei Jun put as much Qi as he could in one single attack while the lizard was engaged in stopping another attack, he punched the lizard in the place where his heart should have been, or at least a human heart should have been.

Bang!

The impact once again threw all the water underneath their feet around them, creating a clearing without the water. The impact was so strong that the lizard couldn't defend itself properly and Wei Jun managed to tear its chest in one strike.

"Kugh!"

It coughed up an enormous amount of blood. Wei Jun knew he had done sufficient damage so he tried to pull back but the lizard managed to stop him from doing so by grabbing his arm. It looked at Wei Jun and said laboriously, "That is not… where a lizard folk's heart… is."

Before the sentence could even be completed, the lizard impaled Wei Jun with his spear as well. The spear missed his heart, not because he was lucky but because he had created a barrier around his heart to specifically protect him.

The lizard knew it wouldn't do much but it wasn't aware that even if Wei Jun's heart was impaled, as long as there was a moment's of breath remaining in Wei Jun, the Death Qi inside of him repaired him.

And that was exactly the point Wei Jun was hoping for.

"I…..kn…" Wei Jun mumbled in a so low voice that the lizard couldn't even hear him even though he was so close to it. But convinced that Wei Jun wouldn't survive for much longer, the lizard pulled him closer and said, "Say your last words more clearly."

"I said…" Wei Jun said, his voice still low but…

"Kugh!!!" Something impaled the lizard's abdomen and as it looked down, it saw a spear, one that wasn't in his hand before, impaling his abdomen, the place where his heart was supposed to be.

"I know." Wei Jun said, his voice now clear. As if there wasn't even a spear in his chest, Wei Jun freed himself from the lizard and crackled his neck, looking at the now kneeling lizard with a shocked look on its face which was still very hideous.

"I practically have an encyclopedia on you guys with me." Wei Jun said as he looked at the message of the overseer in the system window.

[Lizard's fold hearts are situated in their abdomens]

Wei Jun looked down and grabbed the spear in his heart. He pulled it out in one swift pull and grunted in pain which didn't last long thanks to the green energy of the dragon. Of course, that final healing completely empties his Qi reserves.

Fortunately, he didn't need Qi anymore. The lizard, on the other hand, tried to grab the spear in its abdomen and tried to pull it out but Wei Jun grabbed the spear from one end and placed his hand on the lizard's shoulder.

Wei Jun looked at it deep in the eyes and said, "Just die peacefully"

As he said so, he pushed the spear deeper while keeping his eyes locked with the lizard, "Join your family if there's an afterlife for you. This is mercy."

Mercy.

A cruel joke. Even almost dead, the lizard couldn't help but laugh. Because while his words said so, there was no such thing in Wei Jun's eyes. No respect for the fallen warrior or no sympathy for the last of a kind.

There was simply one emotion in those eyes…

"You… will bring chaos… to your own world." The lizard said as it took its last breath.

Wei Jun didn't change his expression and simply said, "That's the plan."

[You have slain…]
