The Geared Immortal

Chapter 570

(Unedited)

…

Chen Tung is already aware of Shin Jiao's ability and some of his secrets. She saw him putting some black things on the traps he would lay along with others.

When she saw a couple of black smoke rising in the air, she knew that it was him, those are his traps. How could others make such a thing? Except for those crazy alchemists in the capital, who could produce such a thing? Hence the identity of Qiong Ji was cemented in her mind.

The Ji family is a well-known family of alchemist living in the capital. They are the ones responsible for making those fireworks at night when there is a festival in the city. And through this secret method, they became wealthy. But soon, more and more people were able to produce those things, so the prestige of the family also began to die down.

But she is clear about this as someone who works in the military. And what surprised her about the young man is his ability to fight. The time that Shin Jiao suddenly disappears, she noticed it as she would always glance at his direction unconsciously. Upon seeing him gone, she tried to look for him and then saw him silently killing someone from the lower part of the cliff which made her feel stunned.

"How could such a person move that fast?" she thought as she watches secretly.

And so, after seeing these things, she decided to lay out her plans to Shin Jiao. She is actually planning to distract the enemy and their focus towards this place. If the enemy can notice them and gather more forces towards their location, then if that thing fell, it could surely wipe out a large number of the enemy soldiers.

However, she did not consider that the cliff they are standing in would also collapse. But Shin Jiao knew that it would happen, so he gave out the condition as they discussed. When Chen Tung agrees, Shin Jiao also nodded his head.

Shin Jiao carefully planned his next move as what he would do next is very crucial for his survival and also the people with him.

"Captain… we have to retreat… I saw a large group of army climbing their way to this place." Chen Tung said.

"This soon?! Then we have to…"

"Captain… I already assigned some volunteers to make that thing fall. We just have to get away from this place as this cliff would also fall with it."

Upon hearing that, Captain Long Li Lai issued his command and everyone immediately retreated from the area.

As of now, they have already finished around 10 more boulders and have already placed it to the edge of the cliff.

While the soldiers retreated, the figure of Shin Jiao suddenly vanished from their ranks and silently crept back to the cliff.

"Well, at least this way I can assess how strong I really am in this land." He thought as he walked towards the ten boulders.

He then quickly pushes each one of them while using his contact lens for computing the right trajectory so that the boulders would not get stuck.

And after releasing the boulders, he can see the soldiers on the ground looking at him.

He waves his hands towards them and grinned.

His action made everyone furious after more of their comrades died in that attack.

"Release the arrow in that direction!" shouted General Lao then he quickly turns towards the direction of General Kong.

"General! There are enemy soldiers on the left side! If we can get them, then…"

"I know… this is only their desperation. But I agree that the cliff is a good spot. However, they underestimated us. If we get that area and send more soldiers in that direction we might even catch them off guard and strike from behind that stronghold. Foolish… what a foolish move, General Hu… Hahaha…" said General Li Kong.

"Go, arrange a thousand soldiers to go up that cliff and destroy the enemy forces there. Then advance to the stronghold from behind!" commanded General Kong with a gleam in his eyes.

It was a great opportunity to strike, why would he not grab it?

And so, a large group began shooting at Shin Jiao's direction with their arrows. And many of them began scaling the cliff. Even General Lao excitedly climb the cliff with his man.

General Lao is known as the butcher on the battlefield. He likes to fight and drew the blood of his enemies. And right now, his blood is boiling in the excitement in his anticipation to kill his enemies.

As Shin Jiao saw the reaction of his enemies, he nodded his head at the scheme of Chen Tung. He was a bit surprised that it really worked.

And so he also made his move and began hitting the side of the huge boulder using two pickaxes in his hand. He has to work fast before the enemy would notice what he is doing.

However, no matter how strong and fast Shin Jiao worked his strength is not as they used to be and he is only able to exert the strength of a body refining stage cultivator at most. Soon, he was a bit surprised when an arrow suddenly flew by his ear.

He is sitting behind the boulder at this time with his back at the mountain and his two feet planted at the boulder in front of him.

The enemy soldiers are glaring at him as many bows and arrows are now directed towards his direction.

"Kill that man!" shouted General Lao as he sneered at the weak-looking soldier.

In his mind, he is thinking that the soldier has been abandoned by his comrades for being weak. He is trying to escape in that direction, but how could he expect that there is no path going down from there. Hence he scoffs at the soldier and after giving out his command, he turns around and looks at the cliff.

Upon seeing that there are no soldiers in the cliff and the side of the mountain was carves and the large boulders were taken from there. A sudden bad premonition dawned unto him.

Then he quickly turns towards the young man who is now showing a smirk on his face.

The smirk on Shin Jiao's face baffled the rest of the soldiers even those who are pointing their bows towards Shin Jiao felt baffled.

General Lao then heard a sound that made his heart shiver in fear.

Crack!!!

…

Meanwhile, as the group of soldiers retreated from the cliff, Chen Tung is currently praying in her heart that the young man named Qiong Ji would succeed. She has put her trust in him and also the lives of all the soldiers, hence she didn't want him to fail.

She is also aware that what he did was a suicide mission. But since he was too determined, she didn't argue with him. And so she and the captain lead the group to go back.

But on their way, they were suddenly met by a large group of enemy soldiers. They seem to have forgotten that there is still an army following behind them and now that group has already reached them.

But from the looks of it, the enemy soldiers are not fit for battle. Their figures are filled with wounds and burnt marks can be seen all over their bodies. Their captain didn't even have his mount with him and is currently dragging his large ax behind him with his body also filled with wounds.

"What happened to these guys?" Long Li Lai thought as he could not believe that the traps they set up could do such a thing.

In fact, he is preparing for a difficult battle ahead of them.

But judging from the number of the enemy soldiers in front of them and their condition, he is now sure that they can subdue them easily.

"You despicable Silver Moon Empire dogs! We will kill each and every one of you!" shouted the captain of the enemy forces.

"Despicable? We are just a small group of soldiers and you were chasing after us with a large number, and you call us despicable? Haha…" Captain Long Li Lai laughed.

The enemy captain was thoroughly enraged and suddenly as if gaining enough strength from out of nowhere he suddenly dashed towards Captain Long Li Lai.

"Internal energy… He is an internal force user!" Captain Long Li Lai exclaimed in surprise.

He was really astounded as the captain is able to wield internal energy. In fact, many soldiers dream of having such strength as it would be a way out for them in a life and death battle.

The rushing figure of the enemy captain stunned the Silver Moon 4th company as they watch the rapidly approaching figure pounce towards their captain.

However, before the enemy captain could approach Long Li Lai, a figure jumped out of nowhere and appears in front of Long Li Lai blocking the path of the enemy.

It was Chen Tung.

She quickly made her move and with a swing blocks the incoming huge battle-ax of the enemy.

Clang!!!

Swoosh!!!

The two strong forces colliding in the middle made the air around them scattered. Those looking at this seen were dumbfounded. This is because they now knew that their vice-captain is also an internal energy user.

Taken by surprise the enemy captain glared at Chen Tung. He then lifted his battle-ax in the air and shouted.

"Attack!" with his command the rest of the soldiers of the enemy seem to have been revitalized and readied their weapons to attack.

"Everyone… Attack!" also shouted Long Li Lai as he draws his sword charging towards the enemy.

The two forces faced each other and the clashing of weapons began to reverberate through the air. The sound of the people dying and the cries of the wounded began to echo through the battleground. But then suddenly in the middle of the fight, they all heard a loud rumbling sound.

It was like a very loud thunderclap coming from the heavens. And this was followed by a huge tremor that shook the ground making everyone stop their action and turn their attention to the rising dust cloud from the direction of the main battlefield.

"He did it!" Thought Chen Tung while showing a complex emotion on her face.
