The Geared Immortal

Shin Jiao versus the Jiao family part 4

/*unedited*/

While on the air and gathering Qi, Jin Lo Jiao didn't put down his guard and put up a strong barrier to protect his body from any attacks. So Shin Jiao not able to do anything because if he does then the old man would know his trump card.

And he could not even shoot the gathering orb of energy as it has not yet congealed into something that can be used as a projectile. Shin Jiao is familiar with this kind of powerful spell, and he knows how devastating it is. But Jin Lo Jiao didn't know that Shin Jiao actually has an idea of this spell.

Right now the glasses that Shin Jiao is wearing are telling him about the information of the spell. Plus it is showing him the power rating of the Qi energy. So right now he is waiting for the chance to strike.

When Jin Lo Jiao saw that Shin Jiao is not moving he assumed that the young man is too dumbfounded to move and is now rooted to the ground.

Then suddenly from the glasses, Shin Jiao saw the opportunity to strike. But right now he has two options. First is to hit Jin Lo Jiao which would cause him heavy wounds because he is not sure if his bullet and energy are enough to penetrate his defenses.

Second, is to fire at the glowing ball of Qi. If he is able to penetrate that thing, then a chain reaction would occur. But it is still too risky because he didn't know how far the destruction would be if that huge ball of Qi would explode.

But when Shin Jiao saw that Jin Lo Jiao is about to hurl down the huge ball of Qi towards him, he didn't think anymore and choose the most destructive option. He must give the old man a heavy wound so that he can fight with him fairly. This way, Shin Jiao can make sure that he would survive.

With a wave of his hand, a long barrel rifle appears from his spatial tool and even without using the scope and just using the sight function of his glasses, Shin Jiao fired two shots with just a second interval using a fast reloading motion.

When Jin Lo Jiao saw the action of Shin Jiao he felt a little uncomfortable. But he didn't react because he didn't feel any killing intent towards him. But what surprised him is that Shin Jiao is currently emitting strong killing intent. Yet he is not feeling anything. This means that the young man is not setting his eyes on him.

This made him chuckle and sneer. But suddenly he froze.

This is because he just realized something. But before he could do anything about it, it was already too late.

He saw two flashes of silver light, then a blinding light appear above him. He could not react anymore as he suddenly feels a strong force hitting his whole body like a huge comet hitting him with a very powerful impact. Before he could think about what happened, Jin Lo Jiao's vision suddenly turned black as he lost consciousness.

The people seeing the battle suddenly was dumbfounded upon seeing the huge energy ball falling from the sky. But then suddenly everyone was stunned by a blinding flash of extremely bright light. Those watching this could not help themselves but close their eyes, while those in the city suddenly found that the night sky was suddenly illuminated by something.

Then a loud sound started rumbling, it was like that of a loud thunder roaring through the sky.

Meanwhile, in a palace which towers above the whole city stood a middle-aged man with a regal and a domineering appearance near a window.

The man is the current king of the Wu kingdom, Sun Wu.

He is currently looking at the outskirts of the city, where the current battle is going on. With his cultivation, he is able to see the place even in this distance.

Sun Wu is a very powerful cultivator at the primary stages of the nascent realm.  It has been years since he became the king, and has raised many children. Currently standing behind him, are three of his most promising children.

Lim Wu is the crown prince. Jubai Wu is the one leading the troops in battle. And the last is Mingsha Wu who is the youngest, yet so far he is the one who has the greatest prospect of making the kingdom of Wu prosperous.

These three showed great promise in leading the kingdom with him. Although his rule may take him a long time, yet these sons of his are not in a hurry. In fact, they are the ones who did not want the kingdom. So with this trait, he has chosen to be the pillar and the future inheritors of his throne.

"Jubai… How is the condition in the far north?" Sun Wu asked with concern in his tone.

With this question, the man wearing a silver armor stood up and then read something on his hand. He reported the situation of the army in the north and the condition of the war.

From this report, they have learned that the army has already won, but right now the situation has become worst. There are currently many refugees flooding the boundary of the kingdom coming from the beast's land.

From their investigations, they found out that demons have been coming from a huge gate that opened in the central part of the Beastia land. The beast men have been beaten and killed by the demons even though they have tried their best to fight back.

They even discovered that the demon kin that's coming out of the gate are very numerous and in different sizes.

"Father, this is like the report that we have received this afternoon. One of the students accidentally found a book and cast an array. She thought that it was a spatial array. But then she soon found out that it was a gate to the other continent. From her vision, we receive a report that said she saw millions of demons of every kind waiting to enter the gate. Luckily, someone interrupted this and killed the demon which accidentally entered." Jubai Wu added.

"Hmm… interesting. Who was it that killed the demon?" the king asked with curiosity.

"It was one of the students from the Great Wu academy. Youngest brother Mingsha Wu knows that guy." Jubai Wu said with a smile while looking at Mingsha Wu.

Mingsha Wu just nodded as he explained his relationship with Shin Jiao. Then suddenly they were interrupted by a flash of light coming from outside the window which illuminated the whole city.

Then it was followed by the sound of thunder which shook the whole city.

This event was experienced by almost everyone in the city. Although the city is huge with hundreds of kilometers in area, yet the explosion was truly terrifying, that it was almost felt by half of the city.

At the site…

Shin Jiao is currently lifting a large metallic shield on his hand while a strong fluctuation of Qi and natural energy surrounds him. The huge explosion has almost obliterated everything, luckily he shot that thing or else he would not know if even his soul would survive.

And because of the barrier that the powerful old men lifted, the explosion was contained and didn't spread throughout a huge area.

When everyone saw the devastation it caused, everyone unconsciously gulped down their saliva. They could not think of the devastation that a huge ball of Qi would have caused if it was not stopped by the young man.

Then they saw a pitiful figure on the ground with his clothes and hair already burnt. This unmoving figure is that of Jin Lo Jiao.

Right now, he is lying on the ground and it seems that he is unconscious.

But seeing that the old man on the ground didn't have any serious injury, everyone was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, one of them saw a small size wound on the lower portion of the old man's stomach.

"That can't be? Did that youngster sneak attack Jin Lo Jiao? How did that happen?"

"That's a very cruel thing to do, attacking someone's dantian."

"What do you know? If that young man didn't do that, then all of us in here would have suffered. That Jin Lo Jiao is crazy."

The powerful cultivators began to discuss the situation in the battleground.

Shin Jiao is looking at the old man who is lying on the ground still unconscious. Then he scanned him with his spiritual sense and felt a little shocked. At that time, he secretly sends the second shot to the old man's dantian. His aim is to cripple Jin Lo Jiao so that, he can fight him with his remaining power. But it seems that he missed the old man's dantian by a centimeter. But he can see that it grazed it and is now leaking a huge amount of Qi.

Without a second thought, Shin Jiao took out his sword and immediately ran towards the still unconscious Jin Lo Jiao. But before he can get closer, a figure suddenly dashed in front of him.

"Don't be in a rush young man. If you attack him while he is unconscious, then, this is not a fair fight?" an old man suddenly stood in front of Shin Jiao blocking his path.

With the old man's words, Shin Jiao was immediately dumbfounded.

"Senior? Are you senile or something?" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"What?! How dare a mere ant ask me this? Do you want to die?" the old man hollered in anger because of the words coming from Shin Jiao.

"I mean, if you're thinking straight, then how come you didn't stop this fight before everything goes south? I am a mere gold core realm cultivator. That old man is an infant soul cultivator, and now you are asking me for a fair fight? Are you crazy?" Shin Jiao shouted.

His voice was heard by everyone and gained many nods from the onlookers.

"Old man, don't intrude in this battle. I can see that you are favoring the Jiao clan ancestor. This is a bit shameless don't you think?" suddenly a voice coming from above interrupted them.

Then the figure of Gu Ouyang slowly floated down.

Beside him is his daughter Fey Ouyang who looks at Shin Jiao in admiration and another good looking woman which Shin Jiao knows, teacher Loulou Ouyang. This woman is the teacher who helped him when he first encountered some trouble in the academy.

When the three figures appear, every one of the old fogies bowed in respect to Gu Ouyang. This is because even though he is still young he has already reached the infant soul realm. Plus he is a respected artificer who made many weapons and artifacts for the city and the clans.

When Gu Ouyang was about to say something, Shin Jiao noticed that the figure of Jin Lo Jiao suddenly moved a little.

Then before he can reach, Jin Lo Jiao suddenly sat back straight.. Like a zombie who just came to life.
