Chapter 715 - Identity Uncovered
Chapter 715
(Unedited)
…
A single figure of a young man stood aloft in the center of the fighting arena while around him strewn roundabout several figures wearing gold armors. The scene was truly terrifying as the figure in the middle was able to defeat each of these fighters with one to three moves only.
The dumbfounded crowd could not help but assess the young man in front of them as if he is a monster. By this time, they are already aware of the changing aura surrounding the young man. Though he shows the aura of a silver armored protector, every time he makes his move and attacks, his aura would suddenly change and his power level would rise. This is what made him very dangerous.
On the side of the lords and high lords, watching this scene in front of them is like watching a great spectacle that made them really interested in who this young person is.
Meanwhile, Geland Mills's face is all black and blue in anger as he glared at the young man. He has already known that his two nephews' body is not disappearing, which means that their consciousness is still alive but he did not know where their heads are.
He knew that this young man has his ways of punishing his nephews but he could let this bastard hurt his two nephews. So he has to think of a way to negotiate their freedom.
He suddenly stood up and floated towards the stage.
His calm demeanor did not make the people around him and the crowd worried that he would make a move towards a junior.
"State your condition… I want you to free my nephews and I Geland Mills would comply with it…" Geland Mills said while gritting his teeth.
How could a powerful lord like himself bow down to someone at the lower level?
However, how could Shin Jiao follow his commands? He knew that if he let those two free, they would cause endless trouble for him.
"We already signed the agreement, why would I free them when I know that they would cause me endless trouble? Can you control your nephews? I don't think so… I think your Mills family would instead push them to commit more trouble for me… I rather keep them hostage. This way your family will back down… don't you think so… esteem lord…" Shin Jiao replied with a serious expression.
"You… I am showing you face and you spit it right back at me… how insolent. Don't think that I will not capture you and torture you in this place…" Geland Mills shouted in anger at the insulting words.
"Hahaha… Do you think I will go down that easily?" Shin Jiao said as he suddenly threw out some formation stone around him.
Then from his hand, he activated an array formation plate.
Seeing his action, the eyes of Ryujin Osmond immediately lit up in anticipation. Although he is a high lord, he actually did not recognize any of those arrays that were thrown on the ground. He didn't want to admit it, but he could determine that this young man is actually someone who has a high-level accomplishment in array formations.
While thinking about this part, Ryujin Osmond suddenly remembers the incident a few days ago outside the town. The large powerful explosion that wiped out the combined army of their enemy, is something that he has been thinking about for a while now.
Who was the one responsible for that scene? Then he remembers the report saying that there are traces of unknown array formation in that area.
Thinking up to this part, he took a glance at the woman beside him. She too shifted her gaze towards Ryujin. The two seem to have a tacit understanding and Ryoko Kiwazo immediately stood up.
At first, they wanted to see what this young and talented warrior would do against a lord. But now everything changes. If their conjecture is right, and this young fellow is truly the one responsible for that powerful explosion, then they would have courted doom. No matter how weak his power level is, they would not take their chances.
"Wait! Lord Geland… I think that the young lad is right. This trouble was caused by your Mills family. We did not want to intervene, but since you, as a lord would stoop down to this level, then the town would now stop the Mills from making their move. We hereby announce that Holstein and Grim Mills would be taken to prison for inciting public trouble in town… let this command be executed…" Ryoko said in a loud voice.
Geland Mills was dumbstruck upon hearing this. He didn't even have time to react as the enforcers wearing gold armor suddenly walked out and gathered the two headless corpses.
Then one of them walked towards Shin Jiao.
"Sir, you can assure that these two would not cause you more trouble. Please give us their severed heads…"
The young man said politely.
Shin Jiao himself did not know what is happening now, so he just deactivated his formation arrays and then looks at the gold armored enforcers.
When he did this, a glint suddenly appears in Geland Mills's eyes as he suddenly disappears from his spot. In his anger, his rational thinking was clouded in rage and suddenly decided to attack Shin Jiao who has now deactivated the array.
Bam!
A loud reverberating sound echoed to the arena as a figure was sent flying.
Geland Mills who suddenly attacked Shin Jiao took ten steps backward as he suddenly spews a mouthful of blood. The rebounding force that he received from his attack was enormous that he could feel his inner organs seem to have shifted.
Meanwhile, Shin Jiao's figure was sent flying by the sheer force of that punch. A lord's power is truly terrifying.
However, luckily for him, he just deactivated the teleportation array and not the invisible defensive array he cast first.
However, even though he has the protective array set up he was still sent flying. But this is something he has expected already.
As he picks himself up, Shin Jiao noticed that he actually flew to a wall and tore a hole on that wall. The defensive array he cast was already destroyed.
"Damn, that guy is strong…" he thought as he walks out of the crevice.
Everyone was dumbfounded and knew that things are not as simple as they look. How could a mere silver or gold armored protector survive against a lord's attack? This is something impossible. However, right now, in front of their eyes, there stood a guy who lives to tell the tale.
Even the lords on the stage were dumbfounded. Ryujin Osmond's eyes are now glinting in excitement. He was right; this might be that man who helped them at that time.
Geland Mills looks askance while watching the almost unharmed figure walking out of the crevice. He actually gave it around 70% of his power. And yet it was not enough to even hurt his target, instead, he was the one injured.
Yet unknown to him and the onlookers, though Shin Jiao is showing a calm expression on the outside, his whole body right now of full of pain. But of course, to show his resilience, he dare not show it outside. He has been through a lot more painful experience than this one, so he could hold it in.
But the beads of sweat on his forehead tell that everything is not fine otherwise. But of course, the dust that covers his face hides these from the eyes of those watching.
With a wave of his hand, he threw something in the air and it flew towards the two headless corpses being held by the gold armored enforcers.
This shocked them, but before they could react, the heads of those corpses suddenly appear out of thin air.
And before everyone could react, Shin Jiao activated the teleportation spell and disappear from his spot. He would dare linger as he did not know if eve he would suffer another sneak attack.
"Arrrgghhh!!! Stop! Please! Stop!" Everyone was awoken by two pained shouts.
Then they saw the two headless corpses suddenly began moving with their head already attached. But those two are writhing in pain as they fell to the ground after those carrying them let them go.
"Ahhh… No! No! Please! I won't do it again! I won't do it again!" the dreadful voice of Grim Mills crying painfully while rolling to the ground seem to have awoken everyone.
They did not know what kind of mental torture these two experienced, but they dare not want to experience it. Having one head severed and still lives to endure such pain, what kind of horrible and indescribable torture was that?
While the arena was in shock and turmoil, the figure of Shin Jiao suddenly materialized inside the wide and spacious underground workshop. The mud on the particular spot on the ground suddenly transformed into a human shape, and then in just a few seconds, it suddenly crumbles and Shin Jiao's figure appears.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw three horrified figures looking at him with disbelief and horror plastered in their eyes.
Shin Jiao used this kind of teleportation style because it is traceless. Though it would take time for him to form a body, around 5 to ten seconds, yet it is the most efficient way to travel in an instant, incognito.
"Ah, you're here… I'm sorry for frightening you… Well, anyway, we should stay in this place for a while. The outside is a bit tumultuous right now." Shin Jiao said with a smile.
He then walked towards the portal and enters it. He has to close the portal outside before those people would discover it.
As he appears in the underground room, he immediately arranges an array formation to hide the portal from any prying eyes.
While doing so, he suddenly heard some noise at the blacksmith shop. Shin Jiao immediately scanned his surroundings. He was afraid that those people would immediately make their move, plus he did not trust the town's lords yet. So he did not know whether their command is just for show or not.
As his psychokinesis spreads forth to the whole workshop, he was stunned to see the figure inside.
