The Geared Immortal

Chapter 686 - The Contest Begins (2)

Chapter 686

(Unedited)

…

A young-looking tall elf with green and silver hair and pointy ears is eyeing Shin Jiao while his companion is also looking all over the place. For some reason, they are looking for some people and scanning the bodies of those who are going to the stadium.

Shin Jiao could also see many servants doing the same not too far from him. Shin Jiao has a cold expression on his face as he just looks at the young elf while his body is being scanned by his piercing gaze.

"Are you done?" Shin Jiao said in a cold tone.

When the young elf heard his words, a sneer appears on his handsome face. Then with a challenging gaze, he looks directly into Shin Jiao's eyes.

"A mere peasant like you dares to have that tone towards me?" the young elf asked in a cold and challenging tone.

Shin Jiao did not answer and just looks at him with one eyebrow raised. Though he didn't want to be rude the bastard just acted like he was below him. Although Shin Jiao dislikes fighting randomly, he also could not let it go when someone disrespects him.

The elf sneered and suddenly lifted his hand. His index finger stretched forward and is pointing towards Shin Jiao's forehead.

"Hihi… See you in the next 3 days…" the elf said then his eyes change and killing intent was suddenly shown in them.

Shin Jiao did not expect that the elf would kill him for an argument. Ever since Shin Jiao arrives in this world, this is the first time he encounters someone wanting to kill him just because he said some words back to the other person. He did not offend him or anything and there is no enmity. This made him feel a bit baffled at the attitude of the man.

Unknown to Shin Jiao, in the high elven territory, these kinds of things are common. They would settle their dispute by showing force. As those that belong to the God race, high elves are almost always on the front line in the true battlefield of the universe against the shadow beings and the demons.

This is the reason for their aggressive stance and as preparation and training, they are being molded as warriors and at the same time as deity rulers.

Though the human race has the same goal, yet they follow the more subtle path.

The people who have already noticed the rising tension between the two looks at Shin Jiao, who is only a peasant, with disdain. In fact, many are already wondering how a mere peasant could enter the city. Due to the number of people in the place, no one has bothered to scan anyone in their surroundings and just minded their own business.

But now that they could clearly see the situation, they have already noticed the unusual aura of the young man which is almost non-existent.

"How could a peasant enter the city? Did the town lords of the city guards not check the identification token of this guy?"

"Don't bother, now that he attracted trouble, he can just return to the village he belongs to. Haha…"

"What a daring mongrel, he thinks that he is already something when he reaches this place…"

The onlookers began discussing the scene as they are already aware of the impending doom of the young peasant.

Shin Jiao on the other hand suddenly feels great pressure keeping him from moving. It was the domain of the young elf. From the strength of such a domain, he is sure that the young elf is not normal. He might even be equal to a lower level heavenly nascent realm expert.

But Shin Jiao did not panic. Instead, he suddenly uses his psychokinesis and immediately noticed a silver dagger on that young elf's back.

The young elf has a sinister look on his handsome face as his finger drew closer towards Shin Jiao's forehead. Suddenly he feels that something is wrong. He could sense that there is an impending threat in the area. So he suddenly looks around, but before he could react a gleaming dagger was sent to his forehead as his gaze went to the side.

Puchi!

The dagger was so sharp that it easily cut through the young elf's skin and supposed to be a tough skull.

This scene made everyone in the area froze on spot. They did not expect that the young man's dagger would suddenly float and then stab his own forehead.

"Is that a domain backfire?" a woman from the crowd muttered as she covered her mouth in surprise.

Everyone nodded their head as this is the only possible reason. They did not even suspect Shin Jiao as he did not move and is only a peasant. How could a mere peasant kill a gold armor powered elf?

The other elves that saw this and the servants and others in charge of security and order in the area ran to the place where Shin Jiao and the dead young elf is.

"What happened? Who dare do this?" shouted an elf as he squatted on the ground and saw his companion lying with his own dagger planted in between his brow.

Everyone was silent as they too didn't know what is going on. Then suddenly the elf that shouted turns his attention towards Shin Jiao.

"You… you are a mere peasant. How could you enter the city? Check his identification token!" the elf commanded and a servant steps forward.

"Your token, take it out." The servant said impolitely.

Shin Jiao has his eyes squinted but still did what that servant asked him to do. He didn't want to attract more attention towards him and also more enemies, so he would just control his temper for now.

As he showed his identification token, the servant grabs it impolitely and then scanned the token. His expression suddenly changes as he handed the token back with complicated emotion.

Though his actions might be a bit rude, luckily he didn't say anything towards that unassuming young man. Who would have known that the peasant is a registered member of the crafting association?

The crafting association is not like the alchemist association. They are a bit low-key, but many like to befriend them. This is because of the artifacts that they are able to create. In fact, Shin Jiao did not know that he was secretly registered by Aiya Wine as an artificer as a cover for his alchemy talent.

Unlike the alchemist association who likes to get their hands on every alchemist in the continent, the crafting association did not give a damn about these kinds of things. They are more focused on obtaining their Dao through artifact crafting. If they are able to make a powerful artifact, they would be able to enhance their understanding of the Dao and advance further in their own cultivation.

The onlookers noticed the quick change in the attitude of the servant. So they also showed curiosity towards the peasant.

"I don't know what is happening, but can I go now?" Shin Jiao said politely.

"Yes, yes… I'm sorry for the delay…"

When Shin Jiao was about to leave, two elves suddenly blocks his path.

"Did I say that you can leave?" the elf squatting on the ground slowly stood up and glared at Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao stopped and turn around to face the tall young elf with a well-defined body. The burning gaze in his eyes made Shin Jiao feel a bit uncomfortable. It's like a poisonous creature looking at him ready to pounce anytime.

"I know you are the one who killed my companion. If I will not make you pay for killing him, then I am not a worthy leader of our group." He said while taking a step forward towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao could feel crisis rising in his heart while looking at that guy. So he immediately put on a defensive stance. He has already prepared himself to use the gun in his ring. He did not want to die, because he is not sure if his ring and necklace would follow him in his resurrection spot.

So if worse comes to worst, he would just expose his weapons and gears, so what?

As the young elf moves near him, a burst of aura suddenly stopped everyone. This aura came from a beautiful young woman in a blue gown. As she came closer all the people in the surroundings suddenly lowered their bodies to the ground unconsciously.

Shin Jiao was a bit surprised at this but seeing those people almost in a position of worship, he immediately followed suit. He didn't know why those people are doing such an action. But as he watches the people, he could see that they all folded under the heavy pressure.

Shin Jiao could feel the pressure, but it did not restrain his dantian. It's like a powerful domain that commanded anything and everything around the blue-robed woman.

"A... a saint ruler!…" the young elf muttered as he has also lowered his stance.

The woman did not bother with the group as she just walks past the crowd and proceeds to the coliseum. After she left, everyone did not say another word and followed behind her in an orderly manner.

The young elf gritted his teeth and looks at Shin Jiao's back with hatred in his heart. He knew that the peasant is somewhat responsible for the death of his companion.

"Leader, what should we do? We would be at a disadvantage in the contest… We need to get those special pills…" one of the high elves whisper on the side.

The young elf showed an angry expression as he clenches his fist. Since they arrive, they have already suffered two casualties. The high priestess has suddenly fallen unconscious till now, which has already lowered their morale, and now one of his companions was killed.

Though he would be resurrected after 3 days, his resurrection spot is on the other continent. So from that alone, one of them is already out of the picture in this contest.

Upon thinking up to this point he glared at the back of Shin Jiao and suddenly takes out two small metallic balls.. Then a sinister smile secretly appears on his face.
