The Geared Immortal

Chapter 264 - The Demon’s Invasion 42

Demon's infiltration part 1

/*unedited*/

The hooded figure that injured the demon beast in the Dark Forest has the same energy wave as the first elder of the Nian clan, Bo Ring.

As Shin Jiao tried to get a clear shot of his target, he carefully assesses the situation. From where he stands he can see many demons running about and fighting against cultivators who continuously resist against them. Flying swords, spells, and many artifacts are flying through the air as it creates chaos.

In this ship, almost all of the elders of the Nian clan have already fallen, and those who have survived are being besieged on all sides by countless demon soldiers.

Shin Jiao knows that if he takes this shot he would be exposed and would suffer attacks. But if he did not make his move, then he didn't know what would happen to Ziyun Lee.

Making his decision, Shin Jiao waited patiently for an opportunity to strike.

Then suddenly as if blessed by the heavens, a clear shot was presented to him, and Shin Jiao immediately took the shot.

Psst! Psst!

Two silver streaks of bullets flew through the air in a straight line. Because of the noise and the chaos all over the place, the demons are not aware of the assassination that is about to happen.

Along with the bombardment and explosions came a strong force that suddenly hits the first elder's Qi field. Although he was demonized and was transformed into a demon he is still a cultivator in the end. So the darkness Qi in his body was the only thing that made him stronger and his physique was enhanced like that of the demons.

So he is still using the Qi field that protects cultivators.

When the first elder of the Nian clan, felt a strong force he was taken aback and turned his head towards the source of the force. But suddenly his eyes went wide in disbelief as he saw a silver flash, going through his strong Qi field and directly pierce in between his eyes.

Puchi!

Ziyun Lee who is being held by Bo Ring saw everything that happened. And when she saw that the first elder was about to fall to the ground, she immediately reacted and hugged him from behind. Then with all her might, she jumped off from the platform with all the demons around them looking dumbfounded.

Shin Jiao saw what happened and immediately made his move. He rushed towards BeiBei Ji's location and grabs her hand who became stunned. She didn't know who grabbed her as Shin Jiao's cloak is still active. When she wanted to struggle, the hood of the cloak was removed and she saw the familiar face of Gubu/Shin Jiao.

The two started to fall while Shin Jiao tried to locate the position of Ziyun Lee. It didn't take him long enough as he soon found two figures tumbling through the air.

"Senior sister, please use your flying sword to rescue her! I'll be following you later." Shin Jiao said as he beckons BeiBei Ji while pointing at Ziyun Lee's direction.

Understanding his purpose, BeiBei Ji nods her head and immediately takes out a sword artifact and flew towards Ziyun Lee.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao immediately makes his move and change the core in his artificial dantian to a gold core. Then he controlled his Qi and flew upwards towards the two warships.

When BeiBei Ji rescued Ziyun Lee, she was horrified by what she saw. She recognized the person the Ziyun Lee is holding but the longhorn on his forehead is something that terrified her.

"The first elder was a demon?" she muttered.

But she was immediately woken up as she noticed the ground coming closer.

"I'm here to help, hold on." BeiBei Ji shouted as she grabs Ziyun Lee's waist.

Although BeiBei Ji rescued her, Ziyun Lee didn't let go of Bo Ring's body. This is because there are things that she needed to take from the corpse.

…

Shin Jiao once again boarded one of the warships while the demons on that warship shouted with glee as they have won against the cultivators. Shin Jiao noticed the dead bodies of the cultivators lying on the ground while some lesser demons began taking a bite out of those who have fallen.

As Shin Jiao scans the surroundings, he noticed that there are many women cultivators who were spared and is taken as a prisoner under the warship.

Then without a word, he slowly crept down the warship.

"There are around ten demons in here…" Shin Jiao muttered as he sneakily approaches one who is standing guard.

With a quick slash, Shin Jiao took off its head and carefully lay it on the floor.

As he sneaked inside the warship, Shin Jiao stealthily killed the rest of the demons except for the three who are looking at the prisoners.

Suddenly he saw one of them moving towards a female cultivator, who struggled helplessly. This is because; the demon is actually very strong. His strength is comparable to Bo Ring.

Then from the action of the demon, Shin Jiao can infer that it actually ripped off the woman's clothing.

As he sneaks closer, he can now hear their deep and lewd laughter. Their voices are like that of a beast, deep and terrifying.

Shin Jiao notices the woman began crying as the demon drags her.

"No! No!" she shouted as she struggles.

The other demons followed suit as they too approached the prisoners which Shin Jiao saw inside a cage.

The other demons grabbed two women each and began dragging them to the side.

Shouting for help the women pleaded in despair. They would be ravage by these monsters and they also know that they would die. Yet, they are powerless to even commit suicide because their meridians were sealed.

Thinking from this point, Shin Jiao knows how these demons have done this and that is because of the first elder of the Nian clan.

He didn't want to help these women, but as a man, Shin Jiao has a soft spot for them. Plus, the enemies are demons, so he decided to play the fool.

Without a second thought, he quickly threw smoke bombs with a strong knock out gas, which immediately took effect. In only a few seconds, Shin Jiao saw all the people in this place unconscious. Since it is an enclosed space, it was the ideal place to use the gas bomb. Even without a mask, Shin Jiao was not affected by the gas because of the poison essence in his mind dantian. When the gas enters his system, it would immediately be absorbed by the poison essence.

Taking out his sword, Shin Jiao stabbed each of the demons on their heads. Although they are powerful, yet when they are unconscious, they're still easy to kill.

He then absorbed their carcasses inside his spatial tool. Then he looks around the place and takes everything that is of value to him and gathers the female cultivators and put them all in the cage.

"Hmm… the warships have stopped descending. I think there are still cultivators helping these demons. This is not right. The kingdom needs to know this immediately." Shin Jiao thought while he began working on a floating array disk and began putting them under the cage.

Inside the cage, there are around thirty female cultivators. Hence Shin Jiao made around five floating array disk to be able to support and hold them.

From under the warship, Shin Jiao looks at it with deep regret. He just wanted to infiltrate it and steal the warship if everything in his plan were followed smoothly. However, this situation is out of his control. So instead of falling to the wrong hand, he decided to just destroy the warship.

Although his original BARRETT was gone, Shin Jiao made something like it. Not as powerful as the BARRETT, but this anti-matter rifle of his is enough to punch a hole through a late-stage infant soul realm cultivator.

He carefully made a hole on the ship's wall and aimed at the opposite warship floating beside the warship he is in.

Taking a deep breath, he braced himself for a strong impact.

Pzzt!

KAPOOWWW!

A long line of beam suddenly burst out from the anti-matter rifle's barrel turning it glowing red.

The beam punches through the already functioning energy shield of the warship and directly pierces through it, then not long later, the warship blew apart into pieces.

Then he didn't think twice and pushed a remote from his hand and explosion immediately engulfed the upper portion of the deck where wailing and roaring can be heard.

The warship he is in immediately shook as its altitude suddenly fell rapidly.

The continuous explosions from the upper deck wipe out all the creatures in that place.

What surprised Shin Jiao is that, although he used powerful bombs, it was not enough to destroy the ship. Even he who is staying in the lower parts of the warship only feels strong tremors and nothing else.

"What a sturdy ship!" Shin Jiao exclaimed as his figure immediately dashed upstairs.

If he didn't use the anti-matter rifle, he knows that he could not damage the ship no matter what he does.

"What the hell…" Shin Jiao cursed as he arrives on the deck.

Right now in front of his eyes is all in ruin. The warship's masts are all gone, along with the floaters and the arrays. And he now can feel his weight-reducing as the ship is falling.

"Floater!" Shin Jiao immediately went to work as he began making and installing an array floater under the ship as fast as he could.

Although he knew that it would not be strong enough to lift the ship and make it fly. Still, it would be enough to not make the ship crash to the ground.

After installing and activating the floaters he installed, the warship decent began slowing down into a crawl.

With a smile, Shin Jiao heaves a sigh of relief.

"That was close." Shin Jiao muttered as he began to relax.

Suddenly he caught something flying in the air as a smile appears on his face.

Then two young women landed on the ship with a dumbfounded look on their faces.

"What happened? I saw the explosion and then you came out and the ship stopped falling." BeiBei Ji asked as she approached Shin Jiao with a worried look on her eyes.

"It's fine now." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Boom!

Roar!

Suddenly from the rear end of the warship, they heard a loud roar.

Although everything is in ruin and dead bodies are still everywhere, Shin Jiao didn't expect that someone or something could still survive that explosion.

He immediately adjusted his goggles and turned to look at the source of the roar.

Shin Jiao's expression immediately sunk.
