Stuck in a Chinese novel-Chapter 440: Losing battle(1)...?

Wei Jun's fist, covered in a layer of Death Qi, collided with the fireball that was almost twice his size, very much smaller than the one he had taken before, and much less hot.

But the fact that it consumed a large amount of his Qi trying to hold it back stood straight. Natasha's barrier was still up, although very weakened; it was still enough to protect everyone.

Seeing that the others were covered, Wei Jun did what he had done earlier. He accumulated Death Qi at the tip of his hand and began to seep it into the fireball. Just like the [Meteorite] spell, the fireball became unstable as well and...

Boom!!!

An explosion that shook the surroundings, covering Wei jun and the barrier along with the knights who were pretty close or those who didn't manage to avoid the explosion in time.

Wei Jun was pushed back, but only with a minor fracture this time, which healed almost as instantly as he landed on the ground. There was still some weakness remaining in his body, but he was sure it wouldn't be left after a few minutes, which was all he needed to deal with those in the surroundings.

"Umm... Wei Jun." Wei Jun heard Lin Ruan's reluctant voice and turned to look at her, only prompting her to look up at the sky. Guarded as if something was coming from above, Wei Jun looked up only to see nothing.

That was when he realized it was something else, and then he turned to look down. Almost instantly, a black suit appeared on him that had restoration properties.

"Sorry." Wei Jun muttered as everyone looked at him with incredulous stares while Yan Rong smirked and said, "We're on tonight."

"Kuhum." Wei Jun only coughed at that remark and turned to look at the imposing, tall knight making his way to him among the flames with a long sword withdrawn.

"Recover." Wei Jun left simple instructions and began to make his way to the knight. They both came to a stop in the middle, the knight and Wei Jun looking at each other. It was a bit of a comical sight with the height difference between both of them, but no one dared to make fun of it, not even the opposite side.

The knight raised his sword horizontally and slashed at Wei Jun in a straight horizontal line. Wei Jun raised his hand, and the sword collided with his hand, coming to a complete halt. Wei Jun raised his other fist and punched the knight with his full strength, cracking the armor of knight and pushing him back a few inches.

'Tch...' Wei Jun couldn't help but inwardly click his tongue. The biggest issue when it came to an aura master was their defense. They had a ridiculously and uselessly high defense that Wei Jun had a hard time going through.

But...

[Twin daggers equipped]

A pair of daggers that were smaller than his hands appeared in his hands. They were curved, optimal for making a slash instead of a cut.

When Wei Jun fought enemies with greater defense, such as Li Fan Sho, he had to switch to his fists from weapons because there were no blind spots in their defense. However, facing a knight, there was something a little different.

Movement.

There were gaps in that armor to move properly, such as the groin area, the armpits, behind the kneecaps, or the ankles. Even if there was a thin layer of aura protecting those places, Wei Jun wasn't just any opponent. To stop his attacks, the knight had to use the maximum of his aura output. A thin layer of aura was not enough to stop him.

Wei Jun stepped forward, his speed beyond what a human eye could perceive, but the knight managed to follow his movements, although just barely. He moved to the left, trying to avoid a slash.

Although he managed to dodge Wei Jun, he didn't expect Wei Jun to have so precise control over his movements that even at that monstrous speed, he stopped his advancement completely just as he was behind the knight and as soon as the knight turned, Wei Jun stabbed the knight with his dagger from below his chin.

While his chin was protected by the armor and the aura barrier, the knight still moved to block that strike, which was enough of a window for Wei Jun.

He hurriedly knelt, somersaulting underneath the knight's legs and ending up behind him. Without hesitation, he stabbed the knight's left with his dagger.

"Gahh!!!"

The knight screamed and kicked Wei Jun with his feet, but Wei Jun jumped back and used his skill...

[Qi construct x100]

His control over his Qi was so precise compared to when he first started using it that he could cast the system skills without much thought, and they would follow his intentions as if on instinct.

The spears that appeared above them in the air due to the skill weren't meant for the knight. They were meant for those around him.

Shaa!!!

"Block!!!"

The knight yelled.

The spears fell on the poor souls who were engaged in breaking down Natasha's defenses. As the spears fell on them, many of them managed to avoid the attack due to the knight's yell, but as if waiting for them to move, Wei Jun jumped at them with a speed that was even faster than before.

[Qi empowerment]

[All physical stats +100]

Slash!

Cut!

Pierce!

He didn't see who he was killing or how he was killing. He just kept killing indiscriminately until the knight yelled at him and rushed at him to stop him. Back at the castle, everyone was casting spell after spell, but with their own men now so close, they were hesitant to cast spells at the breakneck speed as before.

Yet, to their assailants, or in this case, the only person who was fighting, Wei Jun, hesitation wasn't something that existed in his movements. He ran away from the injured knight and kept killing his underlings while Yan Rong and Xing Xiaomei kept the other two knights busy. If before they were holding them back, now it was the reverse.

The girls were making sure the knights didn't join in the fight, making sure that Wei Jun killed as maximum as possible. Mark Wilson, who managed to restore his mana using the miasma cores, took Natasha's place, who was becoming pale, and took charge of the shield that allowed them to keep the mages busy because that was the only target they could aim at.

From a single glance, the battle was in the academy's favor, but with the fast-reducing numbers of their personnel and now Wei Jun even throwing the spears of death at the mages, halting their movements as well, they were sure the battle wouldn't be easily won.

Finally, Clarissa had to make a difficult choice.

"Sir Amster!!!" She yelled, and the knight who was following Wei Jun in hopes of stopping him from killing his subordinates realized what that meant. Faced with no other choice, he stopped that and retreated, making his way to the mana shield that Mark Wilson was managing.

There was a strange anger in his eyes that was masked by his helmet, but his movements could reveal he was berserk. On the other hand, as soon as Wei Jun was about to follow the knight known as Amster, he looked up at the glowing balls of fire that fell on him along with all the other knights beside him.

The academy had to decide to sacrifice some individuals since they were already dying at the hands of Wei Jun.

Engulfed in flames, Wei Jun discharged his Qi and shot through the flames, but by that time, the knight had already struck the barrier and broken it down. Fortunately, before he could one-shot anyone, Wei Jun hit him from the left with a spinning kick that sent the knight crashing into his own subordinates.

Wei Jun took a deep breath and looked at the situation once more. From a distance far away, he could still see the fight between Song Huan, Morial, and the incomplete draconian.

Wei Jun didn't need to be told who would lose. He had a hundred percent surety that his allied would lose. All they could do at the moment was buy him enough time and it was up to him whether or not he was going to use that time in his favor or not.

"Move back, all of you." Wei Jun simply said once, but everyone heard it, even Yan Rong and Xing Xiaomei, and everyone moved back without hesitation.

No one followed them, but instead used that opportunity to flock over to him. Looking at the few hundred knights, three very strong ones, and many more spells up above in the sky gliding over to him, Wei Jun sighed and took a deep breath, and...

'Here goes nothing.'

[Destroyer]
