The Geared Immortal

1287 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 37

Chapter 1287

…

In this commotion, nobody noticed the black creature turning into a ball of gaseous substance and then suddenly flying in the direction of where Xin Ja and that Ki master who took him is going.

As soon as the gaseous orb was able to chase after Xin Ja's figure it quickly went inside the ring hanging on his neck and into the black orb inside.

Xin Ja felt this and heaves a sigh of relief as he knew that Xuanlong is still alive and that he is in a hibernation state.

In these three years, she had been wounded a lot of times and would do such a thing to heal herself.

Depending on the wound she has suffered, she would stay inside the black orb for days, weeks, or even months before coming out.

At this time, Xin Ja was dragged outside the capital city through the intricate sewage system.

…

Zaoi Qinglao is one of the 3 Ki Masters that protects the Zaoi clan. Because of these three Ki Masters, the Zaoi clan has built their foundation in the kingdom, especially in the capital city.

Zaoi Qinglao is already in his 80s but because of an experiment, his face did not age and maintained his youthful appearance.

However, his hair still shows his true age, as it was not affected by the potion he has accidentally taken.

As a Ki Master, he prided himself in his strength.

When he was tasked to facilitate a mission to capture a 1st-level Ki fighter, he scoffed at it.

But then suddenly, he saw that guy attacking a person with a strange weapon… and then a deadly battle ensues.

The first to fall was a Ki adept, the 3rd elder of the Rou clan.

In just two shots the clan elder died which thoroughly surprised him who is watching from afar.

Then suddenly that guy was attacked by several Ki adepts and the same thing happened.

The Zaoi clan's people also made their move and surround that guy. But who would have known that the young guy would suddenly take out a weird object that suddenly wraps around his body?

The battle ensues and those that surrounded the guy were trashed easily by him.

That's when he knew that the guy is not as simple as he looks. He might look like he is only a 1st level Ki fighter, but as someone in the Ki Master level, he could tell that the young man is actually displaying the strength of someone in the Ki Adept realm.

That was the time when he quickly made his move.

With a kick from him, the young man was able to block it easily. And it thoroughly amused him…

"You are very strong, this is interesting…" he said with an excited heart.

The two began to exchange blows and although the young man is using some kind of weird artifact armor, it could not compensate for the disparity in their strength.

And so, he sent that young man flying to a building.

At that time, several of his clan members quickly move to capture the guy.

But who would have known that a series of gunfire would be heard from inside the building and turn the bodies of those Ki adept experts riddled with holes?

The scene is almost disbelieving that even after he tried to recall what happened at that time, he still could not believe his eyes.

"You have killed my clan members… I will not let you suffer life more than death!" Zaoi Qinglao evilly grinned.

He now only has one arm and that is his only regret. After he comes back to the clan, he knew that there would be repercussions.

He could not help but glare at the guy.

But he did not want to kill him… he will wait until they arrive at that place.

At this time, he suddenly remembers the weapon that robs him of his arm.

It was a very powerful weapon that sent a single beam that suddenly hit his arm in almost an instant. But that weapon exploded after the young man used it.

And that is the reason for his predicament now. Because of the explosion from the weapon, Xin Ja was now riddled with wounds.

But what confuses Zaoi Qinglao is the way the Mech integrated with the metallic suit of the young man. It was almost instantaneous. After he destroys one, another suit would follow as if there was a never-ending Mecha suit.

In fact, the number of destroyed Mechas is around 8.

Xin Ja wanted to summon more, but the problem is his exoskeleton prototype is already destroyed. So, he could only use the unstable hi-energy output Ki blaster as a last recourse.

But still, he was not able to defeat the Ki Master.

Xin Ja could only lament his weakness at this time.

Plus, he noticed something strange and that is the hard armor that the Ki Master is wearing under his robe.

If not for that hard armor, half of his body should have already been destroyed by the Ki blaster.

…

Soon the two of them arrive in a cave where Xin Ja could feel that something is strange inside.

"This is the secret torture room of our Zaoi clan… and in this place, you will live from now on… In here, you would surely wish that you are already dead… Hehehe… Hahaha…" he chuckled loudly in the cave.

His laugh echoed inside the cave making it shake.

On the ground, there is a large hole covered by a strange black stone.

When Xin Ja's eyes landed on the stone, he suddenly feel that it looks familiar.

He suddenly recalled one of the stones in Shin Jiao's records… the black stone… that strange black stone that is said to be almost indestructible.

Ki Master Zaoi Qinglao moved the black stone and a hole appear. Inside the hole is darkness.

But Xin Ja could feel the presence of a few creatures inside.

As he spreads his absolute sense, Xin Ja was shocked to see a few octopus-like beasts with needle-like claws at the edge of their tentacles.

"Are these brain bugs?" he muttered as he had seen a picture of these rare creatures in the academy library.

The brain bugs would capture their prey with their tentacles and then uses their tentacles to attack the brain of their victim.

Their brains would not be eaten by these giant bugs but instead by the energy flowing through them.

At that time, the prey is still alive and they can see and feel everything that is happening around them. However, they can also feel the extreme pain coming from their brains being punctured like that. And that feeling of pain is what these brain bugs like to eat.

In the process, they will also control the body of their prey and become their unwilling and pained puppet.

After knowing that there are around 4 brain bugs inside that pit, Xin Ja could not help but curse the sadistic tendency of the Ki Master.

"I hope that you can enjoy your time with my pets…" Ki Master Zaoi Qinglao said with an evil grin on his face.

Then without hesitation, he threw Xin Ja into the hole.

However, what he did not expect is the smiling face of Xin Ja when he was thrown inside that dark hole.

It was a mocking smile as if telling him that he was very foolish in sending him inside that hole.

But he did not have time to think when he quickly closes the hole.

He did not have time to watch that guy get treated wonderfully by his pets.

…

When Xin Ja was falling inside the hole, he quickly waves his hand and two powerful MCAWs appear in his hands.

Then without hesitation, he spreads his absolute sense and began shooting the brain bugs which suddenly attacked him.

It did not take long before those brain bugs were turned into mush after getting hit by powerful bolts.

As he landed on the ground, Xin Ja heaves a sigh of relief but felt uncomfortable because of the strong stench of decay inside the hole.

Piles of bones could be seen on the side and others which is making the cave smell nasty.

Xin Ja did not have time to think about anything at this point in time. He quickly takes out one of the syringes he made and injected it into his neck.

His body convulses a bit but he could already feel his body healing.

Then using his Ki, he quickly aligned his broken bones while gritting his teeth in pain.

After he was able to recover his wounds, his eyes landed on the strange stone covering the hole at the top. He quickly spread his absolute sense and then noticed that the Ki Master actually left the cave.

"Hehe… Your confidence and stupidity are really a blessing to me… Since you have given me a nice gift… I could only say… thank you… Hehehe…" Xin Ja muttered with a wide grin on his face.

He takes out a hover unit and uses it as a stand as he analyzes the runes on the black stone covering the hole.

After 5 minutes…

The black stone has already disappeared and an ordinary stone was placed on its spot.

Xin Ja left a message inside his Mule for Rou Chenchen, and then he closes his eyes and looks at the blinking portal in his vision.
