The Geared Immortal

Chapter 250 - The Demon’s Invasion 28



The war part 10

/*unedited*/

A single figure can be seen flying across the sky while being besieged from the front by hundreds of cultivators riding their own flying swords. The scenery is just like that in a movie where a single hero fights against many of his enemies.

As Shin Jiao came near the army of cultivators, Shin Jiao was a little taken aback.

That is because he noticed that these people have a powerful Qi undulation in their bodies, yet it seems that the Qi is not stable. The wavering Qi undulation is like a fire that has an unstable fuel, sometimes it\'s high and then sometimes if low. This only means one thing, their current cultivation level has been forced. And this is done by the use of pills or potion which can boost one\'s cultivation by a level or two depending on the strength and the willingness of the cultivator to sacrifice.

Shin Jiao knows the painfulness these people would receive after this battle. If they won, then they would be losing something. And if they lose then they would still die. Hence it is not an option for them as Nian clan elite warriors.

Facing the Nian clan elite warriors, Shin Jiao did not hesitate and immediately took out a semi-automatic submachine gun. The weapon is black and it looks like an MP5 in design.

As they neared each other, spells can already be seen flying towards him.

Most of them are fireballs and wind blades, which is very deadly if he was hit. Hence Shin Jiao activated a shield on his left hand while wielding the MP5-like weapon.

Behind Shin Jiao is a small floating orb that seems to follow him wherever he goes.

When the fireballs and wind blades are about to hit him, Shin Jiao immediately lifted the shield and blocks the Qi projectiles.

Boom!!!

The loud explosion and the impact shook the skies. Dark clouds immediately covered Shin Jiao under the bombardments of the rest of the projectiles which followed suit.

The Nian clan cultivators immediately shouted in glee upon seeing that Shin Jiao didn\'t emerge from the smoke.

"Keep your vigilance!" shouted one of the cultivators who look like their leader from his imposing aura.

"Remember he was able to kill the 2nd grand elder of the clan." He added.

This made everyone silent and watches as they continuously shoot projectiles after projectiles non-stop.

After a few minutes, they stopped as they found that there is something odd.

But suddenly someone said something which surprised everyone.

"Done already? Sigh… I thought you would go all out."

This is because their target is actually not present inside the dark cloud anymore.

After scanning with their spiritual sense, everyone was dumbfounded to know that all they were hitting is air.

But then something is strange. This is because they can\'t see Shin Jiao\'s figure anywhere. No matter how hard they try, they can\'t seem to pinpoint where that voice came from.

With this situation, everyone\'s vigilance is high as tension can be felt in the air.

Suddenly a silver flash appears out of nowhere and hits a cultivator.

The target… his dantian.

Since everyone thinks that Shin Jiao can be anywhere, they concentrated their Qi field all over their body. Hence it was spread too thin making the projectile from Shin Jiao\'s gun to penetrate it easily.

That cultivator slowly fell from the sky as he could not maintain the energy to sustain the flight of the flying sword.

When everyone saw this, their hearts were gripped with fear. Not seeing one\'s enemy is truly terrifying, especially when that enemy has the ability to kill someone stealthily.

But before everyone could regain themselves, multiple flashes of silver suddenly appear and four people suddenly cried out in pain and fell from the skies.

From the trajectory of the shot, everyone immediately turned their gaze towards the forest under them.

Then everyone saw Shin Jiao revealing himself under their gazes.

"Hehe… well, that\'s a start. So do you still want to continue?" Shin Jiao asked.

He already knows that these people are already scared. No matter how you trained in front of an overwhelming foe, you will always feel fear. But then the leader of the group shouted.

"Don\'t listen to him. Everyone follow me! Attack!" he shouted as he rushed in as quickly as he can while brandishing his sword.

He then took out a scroll from his spatial tool, and with a quick casting spreads it to the sky.

Large letters immediately spear from the skies as the clouds slowly gathered together.

It didn\'t take him a few seconds after casting that the natural force of lighting suddenly appears attacking Shin Jiao\'s figure. Lucky for him he has his shield up, if not then he would have been fried.

"Shit! That was too close." Shin Jiao thought as he quickly dashed downwards in a crisscross pattern.

Behind him follows bolts of lightning striking him from behind. His body seems to have attracted each of them as they would strike him directly without missing.

"Damn it!" Shin Jiao shouted as a loud explosion suddenly appears as a bolt of lightning struck his shield then it explodes.

Everyone shouted with glee upon seeing that scenery. They are sure that Shin Jiao has suffered great damage from that thick lightning.

"Senior, are you okay?" a young man asks the leader as he seems pale and looking weak.

When the leader heard this, he turned to look at the young man and smiled.

"I have to sacrifice half of my cultivation just to cast this lightning punishment spell. But at least we got him right?" he said with a weak smile.

The scroll was given to him by the clan elders just in case. It would be their last card in the battle.

But upon seeing that the enemy was about to escape, he decided to use it to prevent Shin Jiao from hiding inside the forest. Because of that happened, along with Shin Jiao\'s cloaking artifact, they would suffer a lot. Hence he didn\'t regret his decision.

"Everyone, attack him now!" he shouted with his remaining strength as he weakly fell on his flying sword.

Before the flying sword could fall, someone helped him as he was carried to another flying sword.

Everyone chased after Shin Jiao\'s shadow as they saw him looking sorry, with his robe already burnt.

As they chased after Shin Jiao no one discovered that he is wearing a grin on his face. No one except an observant young woman who is currently with the group that\'s following Shin Jiao.

When she saw that he grinned, her heart was immediately gripped in fear.

Meanwhile, in a forested area near the borders of the Great Wu city.

A large stone edifice stood majestic inside this forest. Around it is a large fortress where many soldiers are patrolling roundabout. The bustling scenery of the surroundings can one mistaken this place as a small town. There are vendors and hawkers shouting their wares everywhere and people who look like villagers buying them.

These people are the soldier\'s families who are staying in this fort.

Suddenly, everyone stopped on their tracks as a bright blue light shone from the center of the edifice. This is the first time that this happened so everyone was alarmed.

The soldiers immediately scrambled and assembled in a defensive formation.

Meanwhile, at the top of the wall stood two people.

One is wearing a golden battle armor which made him look like a great figure in this army, and the other wore a dark robe making him look like a scholar.

"General, what do you think is the emperor\'s goal?" the black-robed scholarly man asked.

The general just folded his arm and didn\'t reply. His brows are knit which looks like he is deliberating what to say.

"I don\'t know his majesty\'s goal, but from what I\'ve known, the people that are coming are special. They are the reason for the great changes that are happening in the main imperial city of Xi. And the emperor is sending them here in the great Wu kingdom for collaboration. His majesty and the court think that they can help greatly in winning this war." The general said after some time.

"Hmm… you are right. I was also surprised when I received the message. But from what I see, these people have the same technology as the phone that we are using here in the kingdom of Wu."

As the two are talking, their attention was caught by a good looking woman with white hair. Her clothing is really weird because it seems to blend with the trees. After she came through, ten more people with the same clothing and an old man wearing a cultivator\'s robe followed.

But when everyone observed these people they were shocked to discover that they are mortals. Yet behind them follows a powerful cultivator in which the soldiers could not tell what cultivation level he is in.

When the general and the black-robed scholar saw this person, they were astounded.

"That… that\'s elder Gung Xi! The newly-promoted nascent realm cultivator of the empire." the black robe scholarly man muttered in surprise.

This is because the message didn\'t stipulate which strong elder would support the group that the empire sent. Hence, the two men were surprised.

But then they immediately recovered and went to greet them.

Qian Li and her group were lead to the Great Wu city which is a little distance away from the teleportation gate.

On their way, the group was brief of the situation in the kingdom and about what\'s happening in the border.

But Qian Li is not listening. Her heart is currently very excited. She could not wait to see her real master Shin Jiao and spend time with him… alone this time.

Upon thinking up to here a smile appears on her face and a faint blush can be seen on her face while her gaze is out of the window of the wagon.

"Master…"
