The Geared Immortal

Chapter 551 - Battling Against Shadow Legion

Chapter 551

(Unedited)

…

With wide eyes, the Shadow Being was unable to dodge as it is actually coming closer towards Shin Jiao as it can't wait anymore to possess the body of the young man at that time. And this situation didn't help it to dodge that hand stretching towards its neck.

Though it is made of gaseous substance, Shin Jiao can still feel a somewhat physical form made of dark Qi. This is the reason why he is able to grab its neck with ease.

And after he said the technique, he suddenly feels a large surging force entering his body from his right hand which is holding the Shadow Being.

"No… how can you know that skill? You… Aargghh…" the Shadow Being shouted as it tried to move.

But it is unable to as its body is being rapidly consumed by the Essence Syphon skill that Shin Jiao just activated.

Its shadowy figure slowly turns into a black skeleton as the black aura around it is being consumed. However, it didn't give up and continue gathering its spiritual energy and rebuilding its body. It knew that once its aura is consumed, though it still has an abundant amount of it inside the corpse of that deity, it will still disappear from this world and be thoroughly imprisoned inside that corpse's immortal soul.

It could not let that happen, it has scheme a lot and suffered for thousands of years just to get to this part, so it could not accept being defeated just like this.

So it gathered its dark energy and rapidly increases its regeneration.

Somehow, it knew that there is a point where the mortal will be filled with its dark energy. And when that happens, it will have its chance to fight back and escape this trap that was set by the mortal.

As time continues to trickle by the shadow being is now showing a desperate expression on its face. Almost 50% of its dark energy has already been consumed through opening the space that time, and now the young mortal is rapidly absorbing its energy making it feel a bit alarmed.

This just shows that the young mortal man truly has an unfathomable ability and luck.

Although a bit afraid now, it also showed interest and excitement.

"Hehe… Let's just see who can win this game… Do you want my power? Then... It's all yours!" suddenly the Shadow Being shouted.

And a large amount of dark energy erupted from its body. Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback right at this moment.

In fact, he is already covered in a cold sweat as he can feel his dantian expanding. But the good thing about this is that the sphere inside him is also increasing by a large margin. If his calculation is correct he will soon fill another sphere.

In the first part of this battle, he only has 65 spheres plus his energy was also consumed by a large margin. However, now his dantian has already materialized its 66th sphere and the 67th is also about to be formed.

He knows that if this continues he would be able to reach the 67th sphere in no time. But the problem is, this rapid absorption has a limit. It can only last for 5 minutes.

This battle between them has already taken around 4 minutes and it is about to end. But it seems that the energy in the shadow being is really vast.

Shin Jiao now knew how powerful these creatures are. And this made him feel a bit pressured.

How can he defeat such a being?

And his worries are about to come true.

Shin Jiao suddenly feel the spell he just invoked slowly diminishing and this made him quickly think of a way to fight the shadow creature.

Suddenly, he had an idea and before the spell was deactivated, he quickly gathers his energy in his left hand and forms it into a blade. With a quick strike, he stabs his left hand towards the chest of the shadow being.

Then in his mind, he said, "Bursting point!"

This skill is one of Shin Jiao's original skills. Using a large amount of Qi and compressing it into a small ball, it would create an effect just like that of a high explosive grenade.

And with Shin Jiao's strength, he knew that it could cause more damage.

Hence he didn't hesitate to use this technique if he could get an advantage against his opponent.

Ka-Boom!

A loud explosion reverberated through the air and blasted a large area of the forest behind the Shadow Being.

With a stupefied expression, it is unable to react as half of its body was blasted to smithereens. It didn't expect that the human has another skill in his arsenal.

"You… I will tear you to pieces!" shouted the shadow being as it staggered backward.

However, Shin Jiao didn't want to let it recover, and using a large amount of Dark Qi he is able to absorb, he covered his body with holy energy. He knew that this being is made of dark Qi judging from the amount of dark Qi he just absorbed.

So he needed to use holy Qi to fight against it.

Shin Jiao threw a direct punch towards its head. But the Shadow Being suddenly shifted its head to the side and dodge his attack.

"Hehe… Interesting… very interesting." The Shadow Being said as its expression suddenly changes.

Even the shadow's figure suddenly distorted and changes into that of a female. Judging from the curves and the contour of its figure it has now changed into a woman.

"It seems that you are able to defeat us with ease if we are not careful… Haha… this is the first time that I feel threatened. If we can get your body, then we will also become stronger… Hihi…"

The Shadow Being said as its body has completed its transformation.

However, Shin Jiao already acted at this time. He has learned his lesson and didn't want to wait. His first flew directly towards the rapid body of the shadow creature.

But before he can land a blow, a black hand caught his arm.

"You are not a gentleman… this lady is still fixing herself up… can you just wait before we get intimate with each other… Keke…"

With a flick of her hand, Shin Jiao's figure was thrown with ease in the air followed by a black line suddenly coming out of the Shadow Being's finger.

When Shin Jiao saw the line he suddenly twisted his body and that black line made of dark Qi grazed his left thigh. Shin Jiao felt a searing pain coming from his thigh as he saw that his flesh was actually burned and disintegrated by that black line of dark Qi.

"Damn it!" Shin Jiao cursed as he controlled his landing.

Though his leg feels painful, he can bear with it. He has experienced more pain than that. However, as he takes a step forward, he suddenly feels a strange sensation coming from his leg.

"An unknown poison?" he muttered as his gaze shifted to the shadow figure which is now standing not too far from him.

It has already finished regenerating and is now showing a black naked woman's body, and its long black hair is floating weightlessly in the air.

"Hihi… You immediately realize it, not bad, not bad at all… many of my opponents could not even realize that they are poisoned by me. And sometimes most of them would die not knowing what causes their downfall… for you to noticed it immediately, I am amazed and amused at the same time. Hihi..."

Shin Jiao didn't know why his poison essence is not working, so he manually tried to use his poison essence to absorb the poison which has now entered his veins and meridians.

However, what made Shin Jiao a bit surprised is that his poison essence did not respond. This only means that the poison which entered his system is a bit unique.

"This poison… this is not a common poison, right?" Shin Jiao said.

"Keke… That's right… However, I won't tell you what it is… I so wanted to escape this prison, so I will devour your now…" she said with a grin.

Her figure moved really fast and suddenly appears beside Shin Jiao with her fist flying straight towards his face.

Swoosh!!!

Shin Jiao tilted his head and avoided that strike, but the Qi covering her hand still burned a part of his skin on the side of his neck.

He didn't mind the numbing pain and quickly grab the shoulder of the Shadow Being. Then with a twist of his body, he slammed the Shadow Figure heavily to the ground making a large crater.

Then without stopping he mounted the shadow being lying on the ground and sent a flurry of punches towards its head and body.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Dust cloud began to cover the entire area and Shin Jiao continuously pounded his opponent. However, before he can continue he heard the figure's voice below him.

"It this, the best you can do?"

This time, he heard the rough voice of a man. It seems that the Shadow Being has suddenly changed itself once again into another being.

Then he felt his body being lifted as Shin Jiao felt a strong lifting motion that sent him flying to the air. Then what happened next made him thoroughly grasp his opponent's fighting ability. And he now knew that he is actually fighting not a single opponent but many.

After he was flung into the air, he saw the Shadow Being change once again into a woman figure and sent a trust, using its sharp fingers, towards his chest.

With a quick reflex, he tried to block this strike but was still a bit too late. The shadow being is faster than himself and so he can only twist his body to the side. However, his left shoulder was still pierced.

Argghhh…

Shin Jiao cried as his body landed heavily to the ground.

But the attack didn't end in this as the Shadow Being leaped into the air and changed into a muscular giant. It then sends its gigantic fist towards Shin Jiao.

"It's my turn now!" said the Shadow Being with a sinister grin on its dark face.
