The system screen was more detailed this time, although it didn\'t tell what skills Yao Tian possessed, it at least told him that Yao Tian wasn\'t under the effects of Qi armament at the moment.
When Yao Tian saw Wei Jun, he didn\'t recognize him due to Wei Jun\'s helmet. Wei Jun\'s current expression was hidden underneath the helmet so there was no telling about that as well. If Yao Tian couldn\'t gauge the expression of his obvious assailant, then he didn\'t know whether negotiations were possible or not.
Still, he had to try, "Please…. Help…. Me." Each word getting out was laborious as hell but he still had to try because, for some reason, he wanted to live.
Earlier, he had given up but now, for some reason, he wanted to live. The will to live had returned and the flicker of life shone in his eyes.
However, that was what his opponent was looking for. The hope.
"When I saw you leaving the prison, I thought you had given up and it was the end, and killing you would be no fun." Wei Jun stood up and continued, "But now looking at you, wanting to live, it strangely makes me want to kill you for all other reasons."
Before, Wei Jun only wanted to kill Yao Tian for the sake of pushing someone out of the way but now, he wanted to do it for an unknown reason. A reason he had never had before when killing someone, a feeling to be more precise. Exhilaration. He felt excitement at seeing the hope in Yao Tian\'s eyes and it strangely made him want to snuff that hope out.
He turned and began to walk over to the overturned truck, while he said, "Now, if I kill you like this, there would be obvious traces that someone was here during the autopsy. I mean, it still screams someone else did it intentionally but it doesn\'t prove my presence here. So to avoid that, I would have to do it in a little unique way."
Wei Jun grabbed the tire of the truck and pulled it out with his bare hands. It took some power but he was strong enough to do it and he did. He tore the tire away and began to walk towards Yao Tian, "And what\'s more unique than bad luck."
Yao Tian couldn\'t fully understand what the man in the helmet said but what he did know was that he would be dying now. The small flicker of hope was snuffed instantly as Wei Jun brought the tire down on Yao Tian\'s head with full power. The tire came down and bashed Yao Tian\'s head and then bounced off due to the power put into it.
The headless body lay lifeless with small tremors passing through its body. Wei Jun turned around and pulled one of the golf explosives out of his inventory and threw it at the part of the truck where he had pulled the tire out.
Done with everything, he entered the woods and after traversing a bit, he arrived where his bike was parked. It was difficult leaving a bike in the police search radius due to the chance of leaving some traces behind. So to be careful, he had parked his bike a bit distance away.
Shortly after Wei Jun entered the woods, Zhao Hui arrived at the site and as soon as he got out of the car, he exhaled a lengthy sigh. It was done, everything was and all that was left to do was to wrap up. His years of instincts told him it was all in vain, he wouldn\'t find anything and even if he did, it would be left for the police to find out.
He pulled out a talkie from his car and turned it on, "Dispatch, send units to the highway H, section thirteen….. Code black."
======
"Anything?" Zhao Hui asked Kao Hun after the site had been cleared. Kao Hun remained quiet for a while before he said, "Do you believe in luck, Zhao?"
Usually, Zhao Hui would have dismissed such a question thinking Kao Hun was messing around but the serious expression on his face made Zhao Hui ask, "Not really."
Kao Hun nodded and replied, "Me neither." Kao Hun once again paused and said, "But this, what I found today was a little unsettling. Outwardly, it was a simple plan to kill Yao Tian but he survived. He survived and he crawled out of there, refusing to let go but nature had different plans for him."
Kao Hun was somber while saying so, a rare face of his that only his close friends, like Zhao Hui had seen before, "Can you see that truck over there?" Kao Hun pointed at the truck before continuing, "Another subsequent explosion occurred that caused the tire to explode and bounce in the air. Came down straight on the head of the poor bastard.
I\'m not the one to believe I such bullsh*t but even I can\'t help but think he had such a bad luck."
Zhao Hui couldn\'t understand how it happened. It was too much of a coincidence and if that was the case, then there must have been some other factor involved. Maybe the presence of someone who could do that.
"I know what you\'re thinking but forget about it. The tire of the truck weighs too much for a human to pick it up unless they were a cultivator. There were no Qi signatures in the area." Before Zhao Hui could cement his theory, Kao Hun doused it with cold water. Zhao Hui had no choice but to dismiss this factor but he made sure to keep it in his mind.
He then moved on to the other experts to get information from them, there were no footprints, no signs of any presence of anyone in a two Km radius. The dogs didn\'t even pick up a scent so the only lead the police so far had was the explosives used to cause this accident.
But the feeling from earlier returned, the feeling that he wouldn\'t find anything. His huts told him, that lead was a dead end as well.
=====
"Did I do good, boss?" Wei Jun came out of the shower and called Li Wei who had safely arrived home.
"Very much." Wei Jun replied with a smile. He began to think that Li Wei was a blessing. She was loyal, hardworking, and precise, down to the teeth. She had all the qualities to be a perfect ally. Which was why, he thought that money wasn\'t a good incentive anymore. Maybe he should indulge her wishes a bit.
Such as her revenge.
"So good that I deserved a good girl spanking?" She playfully asked. Wei Jun shook his head, that was one part he didn\'t think would change soon.
"We\'ll see about that. But before that, pack up. We\'re going somewhere on this weekend." Wei Jun said on the phone. Li Wei was estranged because Wei Jun had never asked that before but she still replied, "Got it, boss. I will be ready."
"Good." Wei Jun replied and hung up the phone. He couldn\'t go soon because he still had a few things to do in the city. Such as robbing someone and marking his influence through his proxy, his sister.
He turned his attention to the system panel after he had made all his plans.
[You have defeated an opponent with Qi]

[Stats would be randomly increased from 5~7]
[Strength +1]
[Charm +2]
[Luck +2]
The stats he gained this time were very low but that mainly had to do with the fact that he was already too strong for such a small level of energy to incorporate and also because the amount of stats his opponent possessed was very low.
Still, he wasn\'t dissatisfied. Ever since his stats had increased, Wei Jun didn\'t even have a single stat point gain through exercise. Besides, since he leveled up to twenty, his stats limit had increased to sixty so he was already as strong as a cultivator in the second realm\'s first stage. All that remained now was to become a cultivator and use Qi himself.
\'Just a little bit more.\' He thought that the time when he would also have the supernatural power of this world was within his reach.
