The Geared Immortal

Chapter 976

(Unedited)

…

The three mercenary assassins that the soldiers have been chasing are hiding in a safe place waiting for the soldiers to fall in the array trap. However, they did not expect that someone would step right at this moment to stop those soldiers and even shoo them away.

Then they saw that young man turned towards the array's direction and then walk closer.

"I know that you three are hiding in here… I will count to five and let you come out and tell me who you are." Shin Jiao said in a calm voice.

As the three did not reply Shin Jiao smirked and uses his psychokinesis to drag one of them and drop him in the array formation.

Upon seeing this scene the expression of the Grand Magus turned ugly. He could tell that the opponent is very strong as he was able to chase after them easily. Plus he was not able to detect him even after appearing in front of them.

So he is reluctant to fight against the enemy. But now that it seems that the opponent knows where they are, he did not have a choice but to go out and fight.

He suddenly walks out of his hiding place and with a wave of his hand a lightning bolt was sent flying in Shin Jiao's direction.

Ka-boom!

A loud explosion rocks the ground and the impact force blasted the air around them. Shin Jiao could not be faster than a lightning strike so he just dodges while creating an array in front of him to create a shield.

He could not cast spells using mana as his dantian is filled with universe energy and the mana suit is protecting it. So he can only use rune arrays to cast spells. And so lightning strikes are a bit tricky as it is fast and very destructive.

"Lightning spells? You are a lightning mage?" Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback because lightning mages are too few and the one in front of him at the Grand Magus realm at that.

So he is a bit amazed at this person's capability.

Seeing that his opponent is fleeing, Master Kwan did not hesitate to cast more lightning spells that targeted the fleeing figure of Shin Jiao.

"Haha… I thought that you are strong. I guess you're just some weak ass mage… Haha…" Master Kwan shouted with glee as he bombarded the area with lightning spells.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao turn around and when the alighting spell was about to hit him, a large suction force opens up and began absorbing the lighting spell.

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile and held the newly formed lightning orb in front of him.

"What just happened?!" shouted Master Kwan.

"You there! Help me and attack him!" Master Kwan pointed at the remaining fighter who was not trapped in the array formation.

The two of them simultaneously charge at Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao suddenly pulled his dark blade from his dimension and took a fighting stance. When the two drew closer, a lightning blast was suddenly sent to him by the Grand Magus. This lighting blast contains the true power of a Grand Magus which suddenly produces bright light and scorching heat.

Crackle! Crackle!

The air began to produce sparks of lightning as a bolt of lightning as thick as a burly man's torso was suddenly ejected out of Master Kwan's hands.

Rumble! Rumble! Roaaarrr!!! Boom!

The ear-piercing sound of thunder erupted and a powerful blast erupted out of his hands sending the lightning in Shin Jiao's direction.

The expression of Master Kwan turned into a sneer as he could already see the roasted image of his enemy.

Arrgghhh!!!

A loud cry erupted in the air as the lightning bolt hits its target. The blinding light made Master Kwan's eyes turned into slits.

Then the light immediately disperses and the powerful lightning bolt disappears. However, the expression of Master Kwan turned gloomy after seeing what had happened in front of him.

His enemy is still standing with a part of his arms burnt black. However, a remaining half figure of a burnt figure of a man is floating in the air with several orbs behind it.

Although Shin Jiao was able to prevent himself from being blasted by that powerful lightning bolt, he did so by controlling the other guy with his psychokinesis and blocking its path. Then he created multiple layers of absorbing runes, but it was not enough to contain the powerful lighting blast.

"Grand Magus is not easy to handle as long as I am unable to use my mana…" Shin Jiao thought while waving his burnt hand.

Although it looks burnt, yet the truth is that, his skin is unscathed. With his nascent physique, how could a mere spell from a Grand Magus hurt him?

But of course, the limitation in this world is hindering him from using his full power; hence he was a bit wounded.

Shin Jiao kept the lightning orbs as the corpse turned into dust.

"It's my turn now…" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.

With a flash of his figure, he brandished the black katana and slices towards the old Grand Magus. Master Kwan quickly erected a barrier to try and block the attack. However, to his astonishment, his barrier shattered in one strike as his figure was sent flying.

Master Kwan suddenly flips in the air and using his leg kicked an invisible platform as he suddenly charges back at Shin Jiao.

His body is suddenly covered in electricity as his eyes began to glow.

"You will be fortunate to taste the power of my lightning armor…" he said as his figure flashed in front of Shin Jiao as if he teleported.

Boom!

The two clashes and both were sent flying back as the ripple of their powerful clash blew everything away in the area.

Shin Jiao was sent flying towards a mountainside while Master Kwan was sent tumbling in the air. A large hole could be seen at the side of the mountain as Shin Jiao's figure was sent crashing in that place. Meanwhile, the old man balanced himself and floated in the air while looking at his ruined robe while his figure is still covered in lightning.

He could tell that the clash a while ago is something he did not expect. He clearly felt the power of lightning energy crashing against him as he came in contact with that young man.

If he was not fast enough to create a barrier, then he might have suffered some irreparable damage.

Thinking to this point, Master Kwan felt that the young man is dangerous. He decided to regroup with his team so that he could fight against this threat.

With a quick turn of his body, he flew towards the direction of his group leaving the remaining assassin still trapped in the array formation.

As he retreated, a flash suddenly flew out of the hole at the side of the mountain. Shin Jiao chases after the old man while his other hand flung a sword flying at the helpless figure inside the array formation.

Soon he was able to catch up with the old man as his suit's levitation speed pushes him forward faster than the old man's flying speed.

While following the old man, he has already taken out a sniper rifle from his dimension.

The two soon arrive in a grove of trees where there is a concealment array erected.

Master Kwan's face turned elated as he knew that he has reached his group. This young mage would be dealt with if the whole group acted.

The others saw the figure of the Grand Mage flying in the sky and have already prepared to fight as they could see that there is a figure flying behind their comrade.

"What a foolish person…" one of the level 50 warriors said as he grabs his large sword.

He has already exerted force in his feet and prepared to jump in the air to attack the mage following behind Master Kwan.

The other one has also prepared himself to attack.

"Master Gao! Master Ki! Get into formation! We will join our strength to defeat this fellow!" shouted Master Kwan as his body was suddenly engulfed in lightning energy.

The rest of the assassins on the ground have also pointed their weapons in Shin Jiao's direction. They could not let this person escape and would immediately attack once he reaches their range.

Different kinds of range weapons are already pointed at Shin Jiao's figure at this time along with the threat of the three most powerful fighters in the group. The confidence of the assassins to kill the opponent is very high as their opponent is only a single mage.

Even if this mage is a Grand Magus and has caused Master Kwan to retreat, with their combined might, they knew that they could kill this guy.

Suddenly, Master Kwan stopped flying and turn around to face his pursuer.

Right at that moment, he heard a loud booming sound which made his eyes bulge upon understanding what just happened.
