The Geared Immortal

Chapter 595

(Unedited)

…

A single person in front of a seemingly weak woman stood in front of hundreds of people charging towards him. However, that person stood like an immovable wall facing hundreds of people. Right at this moment, no one noticed that the person they are confronting has a glowing aura in his body, no one, except for Shin Jiao who is hiding in one corner while using his contact lenses to detect the anomaly. The raising number made him feel astounded and some words escaped his mouth.

"A breakthrough." He muttered.

Swoosh!

The weapon on Jiangxi Do's hand was swung with great force and a flying head could be seen in the air.

The man who thought that he could kill Jiangxi Do with his weapon lost his life instead. And then another one came forward and attacked him. Jiangxi Do didn't even dodge and just lifted his hand to catch that person's weapon and using the weapon in his hand cut that person's body in half through the waist.

But the number did not decrease as more and more people came forward to attack him. However, no matter how many of them attack, they could not defeat the person whom they considered as a simple former disciple of the sect.

The sect leader who saw this showed an astounded expression on his old face.

"The young man has truly grown strong… Sigh… if this young man is not killed then it is the end for my sect. I can't let the sect be destroyed just like this. How could I face my ancestors?" he muttered to himself as he suddenly made a move.

His speed was really fast, but his target is not the young man. His figure vanished and appears at the side of the frail-looking young woman.

With a swing of his cane, the sect leader struck the woman's side.

Thud!

A loud sound could be heard, but the expression on the sect leader's face suddenly changes. This is because the woman caught his staff with ease. The young woman showed a smirk on her beautiful face, but that smirk made the elder showed a surprise expression.

He clearly saw fangs like that of a beast on the woman's mouth.

The vampire felt elated as she knew that the old man is afraid of her. But then she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her belly. Her hand is even bleeding while holding that cane. When she looks down, it turns out that there is a long sharp blade that penetrated her palm and through her stomach.

But this thing did not make her a bit surprise. What surprises her is the sensation she is feeling right now which courses inside her body.

"Poison!" she muttered as her gaze shifted to the old man.

When their eyes met the expression on the old man change and were turned into a confident smirk. She knew that she had fallen from the old man's trap.

"Hihi… young lady, you are still too young to trick this old man. You and your lover will die today… that I assure you." The old man said.

"Oh, by the way, don't bother thinking of escaping that poison in your body. That one came from the most venomous beast in this forest, the Giant Red Snake. Its venom can kill hundreds of beast with just one drop." The old man added.

Hearing the words from the old man, the vampire showed a surprised look on her face. She now knew why her body felt weird and her strength is slowly fading.

Without a second word, the old man moved his cane upward wanting to finally slice the woman in half. However, how could she let him do that? She let the old man do as he pleases but her body seems to become as light as a feather.

With that swing, the body of the woman flew up in a parabola and landed smoothly on the ground like a piece of feather.

However, she coughs a mouthful of black blood. This only means that the poison is already affecting her whole body.

The old man didn't stop and immediately delivers hundreds of physical and internal force attacks to the woman. And each of those attacks she dodges smoothly.

On the other side, the battle between Jiangxi Do is becoming as intense as the pile of bodies on the ground is increasing. Jiangxi Do's mind seems to be muddled and the rage has already consumed him. His every struck is filled with his full strength that after a few rounds the weapon in his hand is already shattered into pieces.

Now he is using his bare hands to fight against multiple enemies. But even with just this, the elders and leaders of the sect are unable to defeat his lone figure.

While the battle is happening, Shin Jiao hiding on the side noticed a single figure slowly retreating. Then a glint flashed through his eyes and quickly followed that figure.

He immediately recognizes this person as the one who seems to know who that ghoul is. And from his conjecture, he could deduce that the two have some grudge with each other. So he carefully followed the guy as the both of them vanished from the battleground.

Soon he saw that person arriving in a tall mountain and secretly inserted a stone in a secret hole. When Shin Jiao saw this, he remembers the key that the disciples of the Mountain Beast sect use. But he didn't have time to copy that key. He just waited until that person enters the stone door. Then with a flash of his figure, he enters the opening before the door could fully close.

He saw a few disciples on the ground and secretly followed the middle-aged man.

Soon he arrives in a large courtyard. From there he saw a few maidservants and some guards. Shin Jiao jumps up to the roof and silently followed the figure of that man inside the house. With his contact lenses, he is able to see through the walls using infrared sensors.

Though there are many people inside the courtyard, he is able to determine the middle-aged man by the way he walked.

Elder Ban was greeted by his attendants and the maids, but he didn't greet back as his steps hastened towards his own room. He even ignored his wives and concubines who showed a baffled expression on their faces.

"Don't disturb me, everyone, get out!" he shouted.

His words scared the rest of the people as they immediately run away.

"I should pack everything as quickly as I can… I need to escape this place. If those two enters the sect, then everything is over." He muttered as he opens a secret compartment on the side.

From inside it a large number of gold and silver currencies that the empire is using are hidden inside. There are even pieces of jewelry and treasures which he kept for all those years. He is sure that inside that secret compartment, his own treasury vault could not even compare.

And so with a quick sweep, he put everything in a cloth bag. However, a single cloth bag could not contain everything. Hence he decided to grab another one and filled it with the treasure from inside the secret compartment.

"Wow… that is a lot of treasures." Suddenly a voice from behind him startled Elder Ban.

He quickly turns around and grabs a long whip-like weapon from his belt.

He saw a young man sitting calmly on one of the chairs inside his room. He wanted to shout but he knew that if he did, his secret would be exposed and there would be a huge commotion in his house. He just wanted to secretly run away.

Hence he decided to just kill the young man.

"Sigh… before you make a move, I just wanted to know, why are those two hell-bent in killing the sect?" Shin Jiao asked in a relaxed manner.

He even lifted his feet and rests it on the table.

His relaxed demeanor made Elder Ban sneer, but he didn't mind telling a short tale before killing this person.

"Haha… it's simple. That's because I and some sect disciples killed his whole family. He killed my son and he and his family deserve to die." Elder Ban said as his grip on his weapon tightened.

"Hmm.., Judging from your demeanor and actions, your son is also a scoundrel like you, right?" Shin Jiao said trying to provoke the man.

"Hahaha… So what?! No matter how my son acted, they have no right to kill him. They are just ants, how dare they…"

Suddenly Shin Jiao lifted his hand and stop the middle-aged man.

"Alright, That's enough. At least I can understand the situation a little bit now," he said as he began thinking of a way to distract those two in a fight if he ever encounters them.

Then, with a wave of his hand, something flew in the air. Elder Ban is not some simple ton and quickly reacted and wave his weapon to deflect that thing. But then to his surprise, it was just one of the fruits on his desk.

However, he suddenly felt something entering his chest.

The pain was quick and a bit dull but his body felt numb. Then before he can react, he felt another pain from some parts of his body to his astonishment, he saw silver needles.

"This would render you immobile… be a distraction for me will you…" Shin Jiao said as he walked towards the huge cloth bag filled with treasure.

Though he didn't need those, he knew that he could still use such things as long as he stayed in this place for a while.

With a wave of his hand, he stored those things in his ring.

When Elder Ban saw this, he was a bit dumbfounded. He didn't know how it happened, but if his conjecture is correct the ring on that young man's finger is an immortal tool. Upon realizing this, fear crept inside his heart. But it was too late. He could not move or even talk anymore. He just watches as Shin Jiao leisurely walks out of the room.

Then suddenly, a loud explosion could be heard from outside.

This explosion made Elder Ban collapse in helplessness.. He knew that those two demons have come and his end is near.
