The Geared Immortal

Chapter 893 - The Main Arjing City Festival (2)

Chapter 893

(Unedited)

…

The bustling city and the festive atmosphere immediately greeted the group as they enter Main Arjing City. They could see many people going out of their homes for the festival which would last for 3 days.

Adults and children are on the street looking at the performers who show their abilities. From breathing fire, walking on tight ropes, and juggling to magic shows, the city is really bustling with activities.

Shin Jiao noticed that some of the houses in the city are already using the magic light bulb to illuminate their surroundings. Though it is not something that special, but as someone who crafted it, he is happy to see such scenes.

As the group travels through the busy road, they soon arrive in a corner where there are many things being sold by the sidewalk vendors. From trinkets, herbs, to even food, one could see many different things on the stalls at the side of the road where many people are congregated.

After a while, Shin Jiao suddenly feels something amiss. He could feel that there are traces of killing intent in the air. Without thinking twice, he suddenly spreads his spiritual sense and covered around 100 meters of the area.

In the middle of the radius, Shin Jiao immediately many of the soldiers in the area looking at them with anger in their eyes.

"These might be those that we have encountered in the village of Arjing…"  Shin Jiao thought while observing them.

And true to this conjecture, the person who suddenly steps forward blocking their path is a familiar face. The person looks at Shin Jiao with an angry expression and a slight sneer on his face.

"The scums from the Mystique Shop who killed many of our soldiers have arrived in our city. Hahaha…" General Xentong Han said while he sneered at the group.

"General Han, we are to escort them to the hotel they are going to stay… We have received a command from the Viscount…" the soldier escorting Shin Jiao's group said as he steps forward.

But who would have known the General Xentong Han would suddenly stretch his hand to strike the unsuspecting soldier.

Clang!

The loud sound of metal hitting another metal echoed in the air. Right at this moment, a sword has already blocked the sword from Xentong Han. Xiamen Gong who is near the soldier was quick on his foot as he suddenly dashed from his mount and then blocks the sword which is about to strike the soldier.

With the help of his exoskeleton, his speed tripled and with his improvement in mana absorption, his reflexes were able to adapt to his current speed.

As of this moment, Xiamen Gong can be compared with a warrior at the 20th level.

Since Xentong Han looks down on the soldier and did not use any strength on his strike, Xiamen Gong was able to block his sword.

The soldier was taken aback along with the rest that the General would attack him.

"General Xentong… What… what is the meaning of this?" he asked with a trembling voice.

"Hehe… Pretty good… and also fast. I don't know who you are, but since you are with this group, then you can only die with them." Xentong Han said with an evil smirk on his face.

He then exerted his strength as a 40th level warrior which immediately sent Xiamen Gong flying a few meters.

Although Xiamen Gong was not wounded, he still got affected by Xentong Han's aura which made him spew a mouthful of blood.

"Haha… Just this much… Your group should just die…" Xentong Han said as he suddenly lifted his sword in the air.

"This is your chance to avenge your brothers! Let them taste the fury of our sword!" he shouted in the air.

Suddenly an invisible barrier was erected in the air which covered the whole area where Shin Jiao's group is along with the soldiers lurking in the alleys and the rooftop.

It is well a coordinated setup and an ambush that Xentong Han has prepared for his revenge. He has been planning and waiting for this chance for a long time.

Even since his sister became indifferent towards him, he began planning this day. He incited the soldiers at that time to avenge their comrades from the hands of those people from the Mystique Shop. And his enticing has gathered around 500 soldiers on his side and they set up this ambush.

They would blame everything that would happen in here to the Mystique Shop and point out that these people were discovered to be plotting something against the Viscount and were discovered by them. Plus the guards would die at this time so everything would be as what they would report it to be.

The plan is perfect and they only need to destroy this group and their anger would be appeased and this would also cause the whole of Main Arjing City to move against the rest of the Mystique Shop group. And this is Xentong Han plan.

After seeing that the barrier was erected and everything is falling in place, his expression turned sinister.

Right at this moment, Shin Jiao noticed a weird dark shadow lingering on Xentong Han's body. It's like a dark aura that emanates from Im Ao and Im Jae's body but this one feels sinister and unholy.

With only him seeing what is happening, he saw that shadow suddenly rose in the air and then speaks.

"Kill… Kill them all. They have taken everything from you. You must kill them… Your sister… your pride… and your position will be taken by them… Kill them all now!" the shadow said.

Shin Jiao's eyes are squinted and thought of the many possibilities where this shadow creature came from, but no matter how hard he thinks about it she could not come up with any trace of its source. But of course, he already has his own idea yet he is not sure if it is correct.

"Everyone attack! For your brothers who died! Let's avenge them!" Xentong Han shouted as he suddenly rushed forward.

His target is to kill the soldiers and pin this to this group.

Arrows flew in the air, and gleaming swords being wielded and waved created a strong feeling of dominion towards the soldiers and the people with Shin Jiao.

However, they did not show any fear in their eyes. In fact, Hua Xiao and Vilma Song seem to be looking forward to this battle. After being inside the ship and being at peace, they seem to feel alive once again after seeing the many soldiers rushing towards them.

Shinyu Jiang who has already recovered her original power level as a 2nd level Arch Mage suddenly lifted her hand up and an invisible barrier was erected to protect everyone from the arrows.

When the soldiers who are attacking saw this, they all showed a slight shock in their expressions. They did not expect that there is such a strong Mage among the group.

"Do not falter! She is alone, the rest are weak! Attack!" Xentong Han shouted which woke the rest of the soldiers and continued charging.

This time, the rest of Shin Jiao's group also made their move. Those with mana took out mana rifles, while those who do not mana uses the mana battery-powered guns and rifles hanging on their side.

Bang! Peng!

Bratatat!!!

The sound of rifles and guns reverberated in the air. However, it seems that the soldiers are prepared for this as the mages behind them were able to block those projectiles. Then the soldiers suddenly take out some rifle staff and wield them in their hands.

Then without hesitation, then also began attacking at close range.

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Series of explosions ring in the ears of everyone in the area as the bombardment from those rifle staff echoed.

"Hahaha! Die! Everyone should just die!" Xentong Han shouted with his eyes reddening in madness.

Although the sound could be covered, yet the rising black smoke and the glowing fire did not escape the eyes of the citizen of the city.

Many called for the city guards and there are those who look at the place where the rising dark smoke comes from.

Those who are staying in high places saw what is happening below and are watching with curious gazes in their eyes.

One of those people is a middle-aged man and behind him is a group of silver armored soldiers. One of these soldiers is someone that Shin Jiao has met before, General Faosei Lao.

"Prince Lamier… This is already attracting too much attention… I think we should." General Faosei Lao wanted to stop the attack but the middle-aged man which he called Prince Lamier wave his hand to stop the old general.

His eyes are glued to the spot where the single carriage and its escort are. A slight disdain could be seen on his smile as he suddenly smirked.

"Che… I thought that they are something.. But I guess that they are just this…" Prince Lamier said but then suddenly stopped as he quickly stood up.
