The Geared Immortal

Chapter 481

/*unedited*/

The whole building where the portal is was flattened by the huge explosion. This causes the figure of Shin Jiao to be thrown to the side as he tried to dodge the powerful fire beam. The wall he hit crumbled into pieces as he found himself a bit dumbfounded.

He saw what happened with his absolute sense and saw a woman wearing a red gown floating high up in the air gathering Qi and blasting the whole building.

And on the side of that woman floated the three people, those nascent realm cultivators which Shin Jiao saw entering the portal building.

"That was truly terrifying Little Jie… You've grown strong ever since I last saw you…" a middle-aged man with black goatee said as he strokes his goatee.

"Hihi… Senior Bai praises me too much… my father has passed me this skill before dying. It is a powerful move from my sect."

"Young lass is too polite. You are this young and have reached the nascent realm already… we old people could not compare to you anymore."

"Ai… Senior Gao, you truly praise me too much. I didn't lift a finger in the war and you three took the glory for yourselves… Hihi…"

The casual exchange of words from the four people made Shin Jiao shook his head. He didn't want to do anything right now and just wanted to escape this place. However, he knew that although his camouflage can cover his body, these monsters can still detect his presence.

Right now he truly wanted to take out the skin of the illusion fish. But it is not yet ready to be used as a camouflage suit. He still needs to study how it works and process it properly.

And so without a choice, Shin Jiao decided to try and fight these people while escaping their grasp.

"Alright… since this is what you wanted, then I'll give you guys what you want…" Shin Jiao muttered in annoyance.

He took out his black katana and a handgun and stood up from the rubles. He didn't deactivate his cloaking and would fight these four people using it.

He looks towards the sky smirked.

"You guys are truly something… trying to bully me with your number." Shin Jiao said.

The four people stopped from their conversation and turn to look at the rubles down below. But they cannot find the person who just talked.

"Who was that? I can't find him with my spiritual sense…"

"It seems that his invisibility technique is something else… We'll just find him using the environment…" the old man they called Senior Gao said.

Senior Gao is an old cultivator who is already 400 years old. He is a member of a secret sect in the kingdom of Si. He decided to help out to overthrow the current king because he thinks that peace is making the country weak.

This same idea is supported by the rest of the nascent realm cultivators which entered the war. With ten nascent cultivators on the side of the rebellion, king Murong and his generals were not able to quell the rebellion. Instead, they were defeated.

Out of the ten nascent realm cultivators that fought only the six of them were left and the rest escaped using their nascent soul somewhere. On king Murong's side, all of his nascent realm cultivators died except for 3 people, king Murong, Fifi's Grandmother Su Shanguang, and Long Cailong.

Shin Jiao didn't know where the other two nascent realm cultivators are, but he knew that handling these four would be really hard.

As he stood there looking at the four floating high up while trying to find him, a smirk appears on his face.

"Let's see you take this sneak attack." Shin Jiao muttered as he pointed the handgun towards the man with a goatee.

When he charges the bullet with his Qi, the four people immediately felt it and shifted their gaze towards his direction. However, they still could not see him. But as soon as they used their spiritual Qi, they immediately saw Shin Jiao's figure and aura.

"There! Attack!" shouted the man with a goatee as he sent a flying blade towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao also pulled the trigger of his gun as the same time.

The rest of the people also sent their flying swords and spells towards Shin Jiao's direction.

Boom!!! Boom!!!

Bang!!!

Crash!!!

Shin Jiao's figure can be seen flying out of the explosion in a sorry state. With the attack from four people though he is strong, he still could not escape being hit.

This made the four people floating in the sky felt elated.

"Let's finish him off!" shouted the woman as she dashed towards Shin Jiao's location.

"Wait! Don't!" cried the man with a goatee.

"Senior Bai… what's wrong?" she asked.

But her eyes shifted towards the location where Qian Bai slowly directed his gaze. On the lower right portion of his abdomen where his appendix should be a small hole can be seen. Then the cloth of robe slowly turned red soaked with his blood that is slowly coming out of that hole.

"How…"

"This is…"

"He… he… destroyed my… my nascent soul… be careful of his weapon…" Qian Bai said as his figure became weak and he suddenly fell towards the ground.

Everyone was stunned; they didn't know how their enemy was able to find the nascent inside Qian Bai's body. They know as a nascent realm expert that the nascent soul would not stay in just one location of the body. It would move anywhere the cultivator wanted. It can even escape and disregard the body is in danger.

But to be able to destroy the nascent soul is something very terrifying.

When Qian Bai fell, Bang Lim, the other middle-aged man immediately caught him. Everyone is in a state of confusion and shock that they didn't know what to do.

In this state, how could Shin Jiao not grab the chance to attack?

Since he didn't want to alert his enemies and let them prepare while he charges his bullet, he decided to do a melee attack on the old man.

The old man is the most dangerous opponent he would be facing. If he didn't get rid of this guy first then he will be having trouble fighting the other two.

So in a blink of an eye, Shin Jiao suddenly appear behind the old man and swung his blade. However, the old man felt his slight killing intent and immediately blocks Shin Jiao's attack with a short sword.

Clang!!!

The force of the collision between two weapons wielded by a nascent realm sent shockwaves to the surrounding houses and destroyed their roofs. Even the three nascent realm cultivators were sent flying away from the two figures that are clashing.

"Hmm… you have good reflexes, old man…" Shin Jiao said as he flew a couple of meters away from the old man.

"You're very strong too… I've never face someone as strong as you are before… Hmm… This has gotten my interest." The old man said as he draws the short sword from its scabbard.

It turned out that the old man blocks Shin Jiao's attack using the sword's scabbard. Now Shin Jiao's eyes are glowing and wanted to know what kind of material that simple-looking scabbard is made off.

"Since you have attacked it's my turn now…" the old man said as he suddenly flew towards Shin Jiao.

"Three thousand shadow slash!" the old man shouted as he suddenly formed a technique.

Shin Jiao suddenly discovers himself being surrounded by thousands of swords directly pointing towards his vital points. He found that although the old man is saying it casually like he is going to do a simple attack in truth he is already performing a killing move.

"What a sly old man…" Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly takes a stance in the air.

Absolute defense

Shin Jiao's katana blade suddenly vanished from his hand and as the rain of swords fell unto his body, black flashes can be seen as each of those swords was deflected by his technique. While doing this, Shin Jiao suddenly grab the chance to do a sneak attack.

Ping!!!

The woman actually saw his movement and extended her sword to the front and tried to block the glowing bullet.

However, her sword was not strong enough and was actually pierced through by the bullet that is strong enough to penetrate the Qi field and skin of a nascent realm cultivator.

And Shin Jiao's target is the man carrying Qian Bai, Bang Lim. A small hole can be seen on his shoulder and Bang Lim had a face of astonishment as he looks at Shin Jiao in horror. This is because his nascent soul was hit by that bullet.

But lucky for him that the woman blocked the bullet first and this is the reason why his nascent soul is still intact. However, there is already a hairline crack that has appeared and Bang Lim can already feel his cultivation level dropping.

He knew that if he uses his nascent realm Qi the crack would grow and sooner or later if he did not repair his nascent soul, it would be destroyed eventually.

Seeing that the two sneak attacks to her companions were successful and her beloved sword being broken, resentment and indignance can be seen in the woman's face as she glared at Shin Jiao.

"You despicable person! How dare you fight dirty!" she shouted with an aura of righteousness while pointing at Shin Jiao.

The old man on the side didn't attack Shin Jiao right at this moment, because he already discovered the state of his weapon. Although his sword is made of strong materials and he has been using it for a long time, it is the first time that he found that his sword was actually damaged.

And so the two people are looking at Shin Jiao with anger and curiosity in their gazes. The old man wanted to observe more before making another attack but the woman is truly angered.

She looks at Shin Jiao and pointed her sword towards him.
