The Geared Immortal

Chapter 154 - The Geared Immortal Versus Zombie Cultivator XXXII

Heroes and Villains: Chapter 4

/*unedited*/

The death of their comrade is a great blow to the morale of the team. They did not expect that undead cultivators are so strong and powerful that a man nearing the infant soul realm cultivator is of no match. Though in a sense, if Guargol is a normal cultivator he would have died a hundred times already. But as an undead, he cannot feel any pain or remorse or even fear in front of his enemy. In other words a perfect killing machine.

Although Jin Fu's group feels down yet in truth, some of them are actually excited. This is especially true to two pudgy but burly young men holding a huge war hammer and an ax respectively. They are the brothers Bai and Jing Do.

In the city of Wu lives a clan which constituted of brute warriors, they are called the Li Do clan. They live on the outskirts of the city near a mountain forest. This clan is a very influential clan and has thousands of years of history. Every time the kingdom of Wu would face any unforeseen tragedy, this clan would rally their warriors without question and would fight in the front lines. This not because they are loyal to the kingdom but instead they are all war freaks.

The clan even the women would always live at the edge of the blade. The only respite they have is when the clan would celebrate their Blood feast. This is the time when they wash their hands of the blood of those they killed, meaning cleansing of their own bodies of all the killings. In this celebration they would bathe 3 times a day for 1 week, in the place which they would call the sacred river. Many of their enemies tried to make their move against the Li Do clan on this day and face annihilation. They thought that since it is their cleansing day the clan would put down their weapons. But to their surprise, they actually did not. In fact, they would bathe in the sacred river wearing their armors and wielding their weapons. This is so that the weapons and armors along with their body would be washed off the blood of their enemies.

From that time forth no one dared to attack the clan. Even the big families in the city of Wu would think twice before going head-on against the Li Do clan.

Now this clan is were Jing and Bai Do belong. In fact, both of them are sons of the current clan leader. Although the clan head or clan leader has many sons, he values the two because they belong to the top ten most outstanding warriors of the clan.

Both have a strong affinity to ground Qi, but Jing Do has honed his skills to control sands and Bai Do has honed his skills in controlling stones. They discover their skills when young while playing near the river. As they fought each discovers that they can utilize sand and stones respectively with such efficiency that they can turn them into armors and weapons at will. And so with this, they began to gain fame throughout the city of Wu as the brute brothers.

Seeing that they now have a chance to fight the two look at each other and with a tacit understanding stood simultaneously.

The bisected corpse of the middle-aged man on the arena was already taken by some mysterious smog. The team wanted to react but they have no time to think about the fallen. And so, two huge figures started walking on the stage with confident stride, it was Bai Do and Jing Do.

"We wanted to have a two-versus-two fight!" Jing Do shouted while pointing his challenging finger towards Su Aw who is sitting calmly on his stone throne.

With this provocation, a wide grin immediately appear on Su Aw's face. Then with a nod, two shadowy figures wearing black and white cloak jumps in front of the two brothers. The two people who accepted their challenge are two women. One wears a black cloak draped on her black tight-fitting clothes and wears a white mask, while the other one wore a white clock on her white loose cultivator robe with a black mask. The contrast in their attire would think that the two are the embodiment of both Yin and Yang.

These two women are members of a devil sect which were exterminated a long time ago. The two are the only survivors who were able to flee the scene at that time. Upon seeing the death of their parents and sect members they swore to get their revenge one day.

And now that they have a chance in the form of the undead armies of Su Aw, the two immediately gladly joined the upper ranks with their superior fighting prowess combined with the deadly technique which is a secret technique of their sect which is called the Yin and Yang prison. No one knows the effect of this technique as no one was able to survive and tell the tale after encountering it firsthand.

And so the face-off between the two Do brothers and two masked sisters began.

"Little ladies, no hard feelings… we just wanted to fight strong opponents. We are the Do brothers, I'm Jing Do and he is my brother Bai Do." Jing Do suddenly said with a courteous smile.

"Hihi… I'm Yuya and she is Linlin my sister." the woman wearing black with a white mask replied.

After the introduction Jester suddenly appear in between the group and with a smile lifted his right hand and immediately disappear with his voice echoing through the arena.

"Fight!"

Then his figure appears beside Su Aw's throne.

 "I really like saying that word. Kekeke…" Jester muttered with a happy smile on his face.

Upon hearing the words the two parties are immediately in each other's throat. Jing Do took on Yuya while Bai Do faces Linlin.

With his huge ax, Jing Do immediately waves it towards Yuya's head. This seemingly simple attack sends out a strong wind resistance towards Yuya, making her jump back immediately to dodge the sharp blade of the ax. The gushing sharp wind almost hit her, luckily she was able to duck her head in time and a strand of her hair was cut in half. The wind blade continues flying but was suddenly stopped by a seemingly thin barrier protecting the whole arena.

Bai Do didn't stop his attack and continue brandishing his ax which sends X-shaped wind blades towards Yuya. But no matter how many wind blades was sent she nimbly dodges them like an agile cat. But of course, since it is wind made of Qi, her clothes would be hit every now and then and would make show tearing everywhere.

"Hahaha… you dodge so well little missy. But I guess your white skin would be exposed sooner or later." Bai Do provoked.

"Why fatty, do you really want to see my naked body that much. Don't worry, I will show it to you… when I take your head from your body. Hihihi…" Yuya replied with a hint of playful savagery in her tone.

Upon saying this she takes out from her hip a thin sword.

Meanwhile, Bai Do and Linlin are also embroiled in a fight which seems to have no advantage between them. Unlike Yuya, Linlin has already wielded her weapon as she faces Bai Do with his war hammer. The two have exchanged a lot of blows and was able to gauge each other's strength.

"You are a bit stronger than those I have faced before. This is exciting…" Linlin said with excitement written all over her body.

Bai Do just looks at her and nods his head as if confirming that he too agrees with her. He also thinks that the woman in front of him has the same fighting prowess as him.

"But unluckily I have not used my full strength yet. And since you have my respect, then I will show you this move." Linlin suddenly said while lifting her sword high up in the air.

Suddenly seeing this move from the corner of her eyes, Yuya immediately turns around and runs farther from her sister.

"That crazy woman… Why would she use that technique to an insignificant cultivator?" Yuya though, while grumble in her mind.

The technique that Linlin is going to use is a sword skill called thousand lightning strikes. It is an indiscriminate hitting skill which would not differentiate between friends of foes. She would use half of her Qi to summon a lightening effect from the environment, absorbing fire, wind, and water Qi to produce the said energy. The more Qi she uses the more of those Qi energy would be absorbed in her sword and will be used to attack her opponent or opponents.

"Hihihi, this is interesting… that girl is willing to use this skill for that fat guy. He would be a good addition to my army." Su Aw thought while eyeing the two pudgy yet bulky figures on the stage.

When Bai Do and Jing Do saw this scene, both showed a serious expression. But they too have their own secret art and began to prepare to use it at this time. They are confident that even though the Qi disturbance in their surroundings suggests a powerful skill is going to be cast on them, they have the ability to face it head-on.

In this crucial moment, nobody knows who would win as the crowd waited.. Then suddenly a smile cracked inside the mask of Linlin as her eyes turn towards her opponent Bai Do.
