The Geared Immortal

Chapter 489 - The Power Of A Nascent Realm (3)

Chapter 482

/*unedited*/

Three people are floating high up in the air above the seemingly barren capital city of Si. The moonlight illuminates the figures of two men and a woman. The old man is looking at Shin Jiao with a face of nonchalance but his eyes have the look of vigilance in them, while the woman is pointing her sword with a hole on its blade at Shin Jiao's figure.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao calmly watches the two, and as he became serious. He already felt the power of the old man. Although he was able to block all of his attacks, he can feel his hand shaking from the force of impact.

Luckily for him, his black katana is made of black ore which is so far the strongest material he has ever encountered both on earth and Gaeus Ro.

"You are a despicable person and should die by my blade…" the woman shouted as she suddenly rushed to attack Shin Jiao.

When she swings her sword in an arc a light appears and Shin Jiao knew that she using a technique. And true to his conjecture, the woman's sword vanished from her hand and it suddenly appears behind Shin Jiao. Everything right at this moment seems illogical and does not follow any laws. This is because as nascent realm cultivators, their speed once combined with their Qi is truly really fast and scary.

The sword flashes behind him and Shin Jiao shifted his head to the side to dodge the blade. Then with his quick reflex, he swung his sword and hit the blade.

But as soon as he did this, the woman's mouth curved upwards and she suddenly twisted her sword sideways as Shin Jiao's sword touches the flat of the blade. Once this happens, Shin Jiao was suddenly alarmed. He saw the blade twist as if it was soft and its sharp point seems to come alive and darted towards his head.

With a surprised look on his face, Shin Jiao immediately kicked out towards the woman's stomach. The woman saw this and dodges Shin Jiao's kick, but she already missed her target as Shin Jiao was able to dodge the attack on his head.

Shin Jiao didn't hesitate and immediately flew away from the woman while spreading his absolute sense to cover his surroundings.

And then he noticed a blade rushing towards his back and knew that the old man also made his move. But of course, Shin Jiao didn't want to waste this chance and immediately dodge at the same time fire a shot.

A curve bullet flew and directly pierced through a man's skull.

The man who is already about to send out two flying blades towards Shin Jiao's location slumped to the ground lifeless. Bang Lim tried to do a sneak attack as he found that Shin Jiao is being besieged on all sides by Senior Gao and Little Jie. Qian Bai even let him use his sword to avenge himself from the young man whom they judge as despicable in their eyes.

However, he seems to have forgotten that cultivators can see and even notice sneak attacks. Well, who can blame him? If Shin Jiao is just using spiritual sense, then maybe he could not detect the subtle movement of Bang Lim. But he was too unlucky that Shin Jiao can use his absolute sense and already saw what he is planning.

And Shin Jiao took this chance to shoot his head as his contact lens designated the target nascent soul to be in that direction. With a timed shot, Shin Jiao was able to hit Bang Lim's nascent soul and shattered it. And since it was a headshot he has no chance to regain his consciousness ever again.

"No! They are already unable to fight! Why would you kill them?" shouted the woman in indignation as she flew downwards.

"How can a cultivator be so despicable and shameless to this extent!…"

Shin Jiao has already heard her rambling and wanted to just let it go, but he was immediately ticked off by the woman's air of self-righteousness. So he immediately charges towards the old man. Seeing Shin Jiao making a move, the old man flew backward and began chanting.

When Shin Jiao swung his blade towards the old man's body, Shin Jiao felt an extreme heat coming from above his head. He suddenly saw a brilliant light flashing and making the sky as bright as day. And a strong heatwave assaulted his senses.

"Haha… Now taste the power of my special skill… Heavenly flame bolt!" the old man shouted as he suddenly positioned himself in a lotus position and with a wave of his hand directed the searing flame towards Shin Jiao.

Seeing the danger, Shin Jiao flew backward as he didn't take his gaze away from the old man. The strong wind made the old man's white hair flutter as he sits on the air while directing the beam of fire as it flew towards Shin Jiao like a living fire dragon.

Shin Jiao didn't dare face such thing because he knew that he would be scorch if hit by it. And so, he dodges and escaped while trying to outmaneuver that thing which seems to have unlimited energy as its heat didn't even diminish even after 3 minutes have already passed.

The part where Shin Jiao and the old man Lou Gao is fighting is already in ruins. The buildings and houses in that area are already destroyed and burned to ashes by the devastating spell that the old man is dishing out.

Shin Jiao knew that these kinds of spells eats a lot of energy and is very inefficient in fights, and this is the reason why he never uses these kinds of flashy spells.

But he could not deny the fact that it is truly devastating.

While this is happening, the woman Jie Ao is hiding in one corner with anger in her eyes. She is already preparing her spell after taking the dead body of Bang Lim and saving Qian Bai who is now as weak as a mortal.

She is really angry at the sneak attacks that her enemy did to her companions that she wanted to dispose of him in one go. Hence she is already preparing this attack of hers. And so a huge amount of Qi is being drained from her body as she prepares to throw out a massive attack towards the young man who is currently dodging in the air while being attacked by the massive flame dragon-like spell.

"Damn you! Why don't you just die!" shouted Jie Ao as she suddenly released an energy orb as big as yoga or an exercise ball.

Bzzt!!!

Boom!!!

A loud explosion was spread as she released her devastating spell.

Upon doing so, she suddenly noticed the smirk on Shin Jiao's face as his figure suddenly vanished into thin air.

Shin Jiao squeezes the trigger from his handgun and stopped channeling his energy. And once he did that, his figure which they can see because of the Qi undulation in his body suddenly flickers and vanished. The energy blast hits the afterimage of his figure and passes through a row of buildings and houses.

Jie Ao wanted to stop but she has already released her spell and that part of the city where her spell hit was destroyed killing hundreds of people in the process. Then the wall on that part was also blasted open turning everything into rubbles.

This situation made her expression turned pale.

She did not expect that due to her impulse and carelessness she had caused a huge disaster to befall upon the loyal supporters of the new king.

"Damn it!!! I promise… if I get a hold of that guy I will kill him!" shouted Jie Ao as she flew to the air and began scanning her surroundings in search of the despicable guy she now deemed as her nemesis.

However, no matter how hard she tries she could not see any trace of Shin Jiao except for a small orb on the ground which looks like a recording device.

Then she suddenly in a ruined house she discovers an old man slumped to the ground. And on his chest is a fist-size hole filled dampened with his blood. The old man didn't expect that just because of a slight miscalculation in his part, his hundreds of years of cultivation were wasted in an instant.

Now he truly regretted his decision in coming out of the sect in his pursuit of enlightenment.

"Senior Gao! Senior Gao… how did this happen? Wait please don't die… I will heal your wound…" cried Jie Ao in panic.

She didn't truly expect that the supposed simple act of helping with the war which should not have caused any danger to them as they have already disposed of the nascent realm cultivators of the enemy now turned into the death of three of her companions. This made her resent the guy who this to them.

She frantically heals the wound of Lou Gao but she knew that the old man will soon die with the loss of his nascent soul cultivation.

Looking at the recording device in her hand killing intent filled her eyes as she clutches them. Suddenly it began to glow and a 3D image pop out where Shin Jiao's silhouette can be seen.

Due to the chaos and the destruction of the surroundings, Shin Jiao was able to get away easily. If not, then he would be having a hard time dodging those spiritual senses from those old monsters.

While he is escaping he senses that the orb was picked by the woman and he saw her looking at him.

"Haha… Why if it isn't the self-righteous woman. Before you say anything I wanted to show you something…" Shin Jiao said as he suddenly played the recording which he took out from his consciousness.

The recording shows the devastation and the sorrow that the people experienced because of the war, the atrocities of the soldiers, and the lawlessness. After he showed it to her, Shin Jiao smirked at the quiet figure watching him.

"No tell me, is this what you call righteousness, chivalry, and honor? Your group supported such a person… Who is the despicable now? Me who is just trying to defend from your group or the likes of you guys who just play with the lives of others?…" Shin Jiao said this with a sneer on his face as he cut off the communication.
