Stuck in a Chinese novel

Crack!

Wei Jun's knuckles crackled as he punched Rin with all his might. But he seemed to have underestimated Rin's power which was why he was also injured in the process.

The good news was that Rin also took significant damage. Wei Jun made sure to not let Rin go with his other hand because if Rin escaped the extended veil of death, it would spell trouble for him so he was very careful about that even amidst a world of pain from his fingers shattering.

Rin, who was injured for the first time, didn't show any emotion at all and simply ignored the damage that was done to her. She also prepared a fist and struck Wei Jun in the middle of his stomach.

[Qi -200]

Wei Jun used 200 points of yang Qi to protect the point of impact. It was very tiring to use all of the skills at once. The extended Veil of Death, the usage of both types of Qi, and then also making sure he would spend the least amount of Qi on blocking Rin's attack at a pinpoint.

None of that was easy and it was taking a great amount of Wei Jun's concentration. But that was currently the only way available to him. Even if it put a strain on his mind, resting temporarily later was always better than resting forever.

Wei Jun thanked his lucky stars that even though the Qi barrier cracked, Wei Jun didn't receive any harm. And as long as he used yang Qi to only protect himself, he had plenty of it. If he had Death Qi as much as he had Yang Qi, he wouldn't have even bothered with the Yang Qi but since he didn't, he had to make do with what he had.

With no other choice but to be in close combat, Wei Jun pulled out a gun and shot Rin in the face but the bullets bounced off of her face like on a metal's surface.

Wei Jun unequipped the gun and equipped the sword he obtained when he killed Tao Min.

[Sword of Devastation]

[Tier: Unknown]

[Description: A sword made of death…???...???....???]

[Effect(s):

Makes the flow of Death more refined

[Bound to the user]

While the sword didn't have any effect on his stats, it gave him something much better. It was thanks to this sword that he was able to defeat Zhang Fei so easily. His Qi barrier was useless against the sword and it was penetrated like there was nothing.

But for the sword to do that, he needed to have higher Qi than his opponent and there weren't many of them. Also, it didn't seem to work on Rin. Either her Qi was stronger and greater in amount, or the power of the sword didn't work on holy Qi.

Wei Jun had a feeling it was the latter but he couldn't say for sure.

The sword struck Rin on her skin and while it didn't go too deep, it still left a wound. It was the first would Wei Jun had left on her that at least showed on the outside.

Wei Jun once again raised his sword but Rin pulled her hand, the one Wei Jun was holding, back, and along with that, she also pulled Wei Jun, disrupting his flow of an attack.

Wei Jun pulled himself as well, trying to keep her off of her feet as well but she didn't move as well as Wei Jun did when he was pulled.

Rin let the flow take her and she attacked Wei Jun with her fist. Wei Jun once again used Qi to block her attack but…

[Qi -200]

[HP -11]

Wei Jun took damage this time. It wasn't much, but it was still something. It meant that there was more to Rin's power and Wei Jun needed to match that output.

Wei Jun hurriedly threw some toxic glans of the venomous bumblebee on the ground and it began to release the toxic gas into the air. Wei Jun was protected from the mist due to his death Qi which he had already tested once before, but the same couldn't be said for Rin.

Rin's skin crumbled like she was made of clay and the cracks in her skin began to spread. Her expression was as neutral as before but Wei Jun could tell that if she could feel pain, she would be feeling a lot of it at the moment.

Wei Jun hurriedly slashed his sword again and this time, his sword connected with Rin.

Rin raised her hand to once again block the attack but with her dress melted due to the venomous mist and her flesh also cracked, she wasn't as invulnerable as before.

[HP -31]

However, Wei Jun was surprised when he took damage, more than he ever had.

[Host!]

[You have to let go of her]

Wei Jun didn't think for one more second and let go of Rin. As soon as he did, something left Rin's hand but it was snuffed as soon as it entered the veil of Death.

'What the hell was that?'

[She made it enter your body through your contact]

'Then I can't touch her.'

Wei Jun hurriedly moved again, keeping Rin in the veil of death. She was almost out of it but Wei Jun moved to make sure she wasn't again.

Wei Jun was as fast as Rin so he had to run using all his speed. Even with the immense buff of the Qi skills, his speed wasn't enough to match Rin's.

Wei Jun closed the distance and swung the sword once again which made contact but it didn't make contact with her body but something hard.

A sword appeared in Rin's hand out of nowhere. Wei Jun didn't know how she got it but he had one guess if he had to.

[A quest reward]

'This fu*king….'

Wei Jun couldn't even curse properly because he was also relying on a system. Still, Wei Jun didn't back down. If it came down to technique, Wei Jun was far more superior than anyone.

Wei Jun displayed amazing techniques in the sword fight and each and every strike of his was deadly.

Wei Jun slashed and then stabbed, his motion swift, not giving Rin a lot of time to retaliate. Wei Jun was obviously superior when it came to techniques. However, when it came to power, Rin was far more stronger.

Wei Jun's arms would go numb from blocking Rin's attacks whenever she could somehow make one in. Wei Jun was having a hard time because of that but he was still keeping it up. While Rin attacked, Wei Jun did his best to avoid and if he couldn't, he'd block her attacks.

It was difficult for Wei Jun but he was making do given the unfair conditions. Rin was accumulating injuries, and her naked body was almost fully riddled with scars.

Wei Jun tried his best to get one attack to land on her vital organs but even trying his best wasn't enough. Rin was just too fast.

Wei Jun had no other choice but to turn to the system once again because he was also running out of time on his skills.

[Blood panther's essence]

[Temporary raises attack speed, speed, and attack force by 50%]

[Duration: 10 minutes]

[Cost: 100,000]

It was very expensive but Wei Jun didn't have any other choice. Money was something he could get again but at the moment, he needed to spend it. After all, money was useless if he was dead.

The system had made it clear that if he died at the hands of Rin, or faster than his death Qi could repair him, he would die and Wei Jun wasn't very keen on knowing what would happen once he did.

Wei Jun stepped forward and hit Rin as hard as he could. His agility had increased and matched Rin's to some extent and his attacks were also faster and sharper than before.

Wei Jun struck her once more and this time, she was finally in the same situation as him. However, Wei Jun was definitely doing better than before.

Wei Jun curved his sword and once again delivered a strong attack that Rin couldn't block. Wei Jun pulled a dagger out of his inventory and threw it at her.

Rin was able to block that strike but that allowed Wei Jun to pierce her stomach with his sword. With how injured she was, her holy Qi barrier cracked under the attack and the sword managed to pierce her body.

Rin stopped and Wei Jun stopped as well. Just as he did, the veil of death around him disappeared as well. However, just as he was about to celebrate his victory…

[Host!]

[Get away!]

Wei Jun was confused but he didn't diddle. He pulled the sword out of her and jumped back and as soon as he did, a shockwave left Rin's body and swept everything away.

It was like a wave of explosion that was shaped like a dome. It pushed not only Wei but everything in the vicinity away.

[The system is unable to repair the host through emergency repair]

Wei Jun, before he could even think about healing himself, couldn't help but look at the spectacle before him.

Rin was slowly walking towards him, her steps sending tremors throughout the area, her figure draped in some sort of white light like Wei Jun's veil of death.
