Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun screamed in pain as the black wave assaulted him. One would think that much away from the black wave, the pain delivered would have been much less, but he was severely mistaken as he lost feeling in his body and fell from the air.

"Got you." But before he could hit the ground, Luo Li caught him, and Morial gave them cover fire with fire spells that the man in the air effortlessly blocked, but didn't underestimate either.

That gave Wei Jun enough time to eat a healing pill because he knew that pain was out of his endurance chart, and also he needed to be back on the offense quickly because he knew there was no time to let his natural healing kick in.

"What the hell was that?" Luo Li asked as he looked at the crater that had formed underneath the man, and everything around him had turned to rubble.

'It's a lot like 'Destroyer' but there's something else about it.' Wei Jun analyzed the skill, but what he knew for sure was that it was a skill he could underestimate and take on frequently.

'What else is there about it?' Wei Jun saw no weakness in the skill or points he could exploit. All he could see was the havoc brought by the skill, and he couldn't help but want it.

While his own skill was much better, it had a huge penalty, so Wei Jun couldn't use it frequently. However, the same stood for his opponent. No matter how overpowered a skill was, there were bound to be cooldowns, the stronger the skill was.

"Something we will have to worry about later." Wei Jun said as he once again took to the skies, but unfortunately, this time, the man was ready and extended his hand, using just his Qi's power to put pressure on Wei Jun.

Since it wasn't a mental pressure but a physical pressure from Qi, Wei Jun was unable to move, frozen in place. But...

"Flame Breath!" A surging wave of fire descended upon the man from above him, and he was forced to use his other hand to stop that as Morial could be seen above him, his mouth open and fire spewing from his mouth that was stopped by a Qi barrier from the man's hand.

"Must be nice to fly, huh?" The man heard another voice and turned to look to his left, where Luo Li had concentrated a good amount of his Qi in his hand and gave the man a good punch in the face, but...

"Are you kidding me?" Luo Li couldn't help but ask. Sure, there was a difference of two entire cultivation realms, but still, to not even budge in the face of such a strong attack.

"Vermin." The man only spoke that one word.

"Uh-oh." Luo Li uttered before he was thrown away by a very strong pressure on his body that he couldn't resist, even with all the force on his body.

[Qi construct]

But it still helped as the pressure on Wei Jun lessened to a great degree. Hundreds of lances formed all around the man and targeted him while he was using both his hands to stop Wei Jun and Morial's attacks.

"Needles." The man only said so as the lances shattered as soon as they touched the man's Qi barrier. But if a hundred lances were not enough, then a thousand of them surely made a difference.

Not to mention Wei Jun's expert control and aim, even while he was bound.

Crack!

A small, almost discernible crack appeared in the man's Qi barrier, but that much was more than enough. The indestructible barrier had shown signs of vulnerability.

And...

"Imperial sword art: Second move."

"Pillar of annihilation."

Exactly at that small crack, a beam fell that felt as if thousands of swords were falling at the same time. The pressure emitted from them even made the man wary.

He had no choice but to let go of the smaller attacks and focus on the stronger one, diverting all his attention over there, which allowed Morial's fire to engulf the man and Wei Jun to shoot more and more lances and spears at the man.

Song Huan immediately pulled back, his sword's luster dimming as the move ended, and all of them retreated before the man could finish dealing with all attacks.

"Nice timing." Wei Jun said.

"Yeah, well, I had something to do." Song Huan said before he said, "You have something to do as well."

"What?" Wei Jun asked.

"Thi--Waarrggh!!!"

Song Huan was in the middle of taking something out of his robe when he was shot, but another wave of Qi threw him a good distance away. As for the rest, they were about to defend themselves and get ready to face the man when...

"Vermin who don't know their place..." Those words invoked everyone's instincts, and instead of preparing to face the man, everyone opted to run away, but alas, they were too late.

Boom!!!

Another sonic boom spread throughout the area in a certain radius, engulfing the four fighters in its violent attack. It was hellishly painful and strong, but there was something else. Something only Wei Jun, who had tasted the same skill before, noticed.

'It's weaker.' Wei Jun analyzed. It was still strong and all of them were injured by a good degree, but Wei Jun was sure the pain wasn't as strong as before, and even his natural healing could patch him up quite quickly with that.

There was only one difference between the first attack and this one.

'Distance.'

Wei Jun realized he was closer to the wave of Qi, while the last time he was far away, almost at the edge of it. Realizing the flaw in the overpowered skill, Wei Jun gritted his teeth and, while the man was expecting everyone to back off, Wei Jun body slammed into him and flew off into the distance.

"What are you doing, boy?" The man asked as he elbowed Wei Jun's back, but didn't resist because he knew Wei Jun was too weakened to do anything. Chuckling to himself, he gave him another playful elbow to his spine, which made Wei Jun scream in pain.

Yet...

"Huh...?" Suddenly, his instincts screamed at him. A simple question plagued his mind...

"Why did you bring me away from everyone?" He couldn't help but ask out loud, only to receive a reply full of mockery, "Let me show you real destruction."

"What?" The man could only ask as...

[Destroyer]

A similar effect to his skill but worse in intensity assaulted the man. Although Wei Jun's control over death had reached the proficient level from beginner level thanks to his brother's training in death, it wasn't yet on the expert level, as his mind knew the way, but his physical body didn't.

So he couldn't direct the current attack on the man specifically, but he didn't need to. The attack was still a lot.

Boom!!!

A sonic boom that was worse than the man's erased their surroundings to nothingness. The buildings, the asphalt on the ground, the piping under the ground, the matter and materials in those pipes, everything organic or inorganic around them ceased to exist.

"What the...?" Luo Li could only look at the scene agape. He couldn't help but be glad he chose to accept Wei Jun's offer. He knew for sure he wouldn't be able to do anything against the power that could reduce everything just a few kilometers away from him into nothingness.

"Damn..." Even Morial couldn't help but say.

"We have to move! Now!" Only one person didn't stay to be amazed by the scene before him. Song Huan quickly took to the skies by applying force to his legs. He couldn't fly, but he could surely jump far away.

'There's no time.' Song Huan thought inwardly.

"You don't seriously think they survived that, do you?" Lui Li asked as he followed.

"They did. At least Wei Jun did." Morial replied, relying on his connection to Wei Jun. But even without his connection to Wei Jun, he could sense a sinister power source just a little away from Wei Jun.

Their opponent was still alive.

The dust settled as they arrived, well, it was more like the ashes of what had been reduced to nothingness because even dust was reduced to nothing against the skill of Wei Jun.

A wave of fear passed through the trio, and an unsettling feeling took hold deep inside their hearts. They saw Wei Jun lying on the ground in extreme pain, coughing blood, while the man stood a few meters away from him, without his clothes and with a series of injuries on him.

Mostly cuts and bruises, and the bleeding wasn't as intense as Wei Jun but bearable.

But...

"How are you!!!"

The anger from an inferior being being able to damage him was out of bounds.

"Now!" Morial moved on his own to protect Wei Jun, while Luo Li let out all the Qi he could to negate the attack emitted by the man next.

As for Song Huan, he didn't do anything other than storm by Wei Jun's side and place the cube on his chest that he was trying to give to him earlier.

As soon as he did, he said, "Make sure to learn it properly. That's the only way out of this."

Boom!!!

Another sonic boom, and everything was once again engulfed in the destruction.

"Strange..." The man said as he looked straight at the blue-eyed woman who stood before him, having negated his major attack, "You're not the girl from before."

"I'm not." Multiple ethereal voices fell in his ears as Yan Rong, or whoever was occupying Yan Rong at the moment, said before a wave of frost targeted only at the man swept him away.
