The Geared Immortal

Chapter 464

/*unedited*/

The strong death Qi are in the air as the cries of the innocent people filled every nook and corner of the city. The unlucky ones who are caught outside of their homes were killed and abused, while those who are lucky enough to have stayed at their homes were spared.

However, not everyone who is inside their house is safe. This is because some mercenaries would try to barge in some of the houses without protection array on them.

Hence the city is filled with chaos and cries of despair.

At the top of a roof, Shin Jiao is watching this scene with a heavy heart. Though he is not related to these people, he felt their pain.

"I need to make sure that the portal is safe first before deciding what to do next." He thought as his eyes turn towards the area of the portal.

He discovered that the cameras he set up to monitor the situation were all destroyed. He didn't know what happened, but he knew that it was not good.

So with a flicker, his figure vanished.

On his way, he would sometimes help those who were being molested and assaulted especially women and children.

While on his way to the portal's location, Shin Jiao has taken down a huge number of mercenaries which made the higher-ups of the Lao clan took notice of the current situation. Some of those who died are even high commanders making the situation worst.

The Lao mercenary clan began to mobilize a huge part of their group to check on this situation. They even called out the young master of the clan, Jianguo Lao, a 9th level gold core realm expert with a legacy sword skill making him able to contend even with a middle stage infant soul realm cultivator.

They wanted to know what is happening and to stop what is causing this huge loss in their army. Meanwhile, on the other side, the main army of the mercenary group is currently fighting against the city council and the city army.

While this is happening, Shin Jiao is not aware of this, as he just wanted to reach the portal's area and make sure it was safe.

Not long later, he was able to reach the portal area and saw that the houses surrounding it were destroyed. He can also see many dead bodies lying around.

What caught his attention is a group of people wearing white robes as they fight against the mercenaries.

"They are trying to protect the portal…" Shin Jiao deduced as he watches the group wearing white robes defend against the attacks of the mercenaries.

They have even set up a defensive barrier to surround the portal and prevent stray magic in damaging it. With this situation, Shin Jiao heaves a sigh of relief.

"It seems that these guys in white are experts from the city council." He thought as he observes the fight.

Suddenly his eyes caught a huge number of people marching towards the area. His brow suddenly knitted upon seeing that the army has 4 infant soul realm cultivators among them.

Meanwhile, the people in white only have a single infant soul realm while the rest are the peak of the gold core realm.

"Hmmm… This is bad… I think I need to intervene." He thought as he once again takes out his trusty sniper rifle.

While atop the roof, his figure was already discovered by some of the people below. But since he is not making a move and they are busy fighting, they didn't put their attention towards him. This is because Shin Jiao didn't conceal his presence.

What for, it would be better if the whole mercenary group attack him. That way, he can finish everything in one go.

But when he took out his weapon, the fighting suddenly stopped. Everyone looks at him wearily.

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

The four consecutive shots and silver flashes surprised the crowd. This is true, especially to the mercenaries. They knew where Shin Jiao is directing his weapon, and in that direction, their reinforcement is coming.

"Not good! Take him down! Kill him!" shouted one of the mercenary leaders as he pointed his flying sword towards Shin Jiao's direction and attacked.

The rest of the mercenaries also did the same.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion destroyed the whole house where Shin Jiao was standing at. A huge black dust cloud covered the area and visibility immediately became poor. Suddenly many spiritual senses began scanning the house.

The mercenary attack the house to kill Shin Jiao and stop him from doing anything, however, it was too late.

The backup that they are expecting is already in turmoil. This is because the four infant soul realm experts that they have sent, three of them are dead and headless while the other one who was quick enough to dodge had his shoulder blasted.

Even those standing behind them were also killed by the strong bullets that are enough to kill a nascent real expert.

Shin Jiao on the other hand is already standing near the portal and has begun to set up an array to protect it. Since he knew that it was fine and his computer is not yet done in its analysis of the portal, he decided to up the protection of the portal.

When the people in the white robe discover him, they were immediately vigilant. They did not expect that such an expert would be able to approach the portal without them noticing.

"Relax, I'm here to help." Shin Jiao said as he suddenly activates the circular golden barrier.

"Those from outside could not come in, and those from the inside could come out." He said casually.

"Who is the leader here?" he asked.

The middle-aged man walked towards Shin Jiao.

"And you are?" the man asked with suspicion.

"I'm Si Ji… I just came here to protect this portal. I need to repair it and use it so that I can go to the capital." Shin Jiao replied.

"I am the captain of the special team from the capital. We were visiting this city when this uprising happened."

"Oh, that's good then… As I said, you can come out but you cannot come inside. I will be taking my leave then… Please keep this thing safe, okay?" Shin Jiao said with a smile as he began walking to the mercenaries.

"Where are you going, the city is not safe…"

"I'm supposed to be here for one reason, and that is the safety of the portal. But my conscience and moral is telling me to help… I've learned that it is harder to fight against your conscience unless you want to be miserable all your life." Shin Jiao said as he took out his submachine guns.

Without another word, he began targeting the mercenaries and began spewing bullets towards him. While the mercenaries upon seeing Shin Jiao walking towards them also began attacking him.

A bloody confrontation began which render the men wearing white robes stupefied. They did not expect to meet a madman who would dive into a fight without thinking of self-preservation. However, they all change their conjecture after seeing the battle.

Shin Jiao is like a god of death with his weapons. They can see heads and bodies being blasted, the Qi fields of those cultivators are nothing. Even their strong armors could not even protect their bodies.

"What a strong weapon…" the captain of the group muttered.

What made him shudder in fear is Shin Jiao's decisiveness and dodging capability. This is because even though he is being assaulted by hundreds of weapons none could even touch him even his clothes are unscathed.

"Sir, though his dodging capability is good, I think he would be hurt if he receives an attack… why would he dodge otherwise." One of the men wearing white said besides the captain.

"Yeah, maybe he is just relying on his weapons."

"If we can have those weapons we can also be that powerful."

The others chimed in, but the captain didn't agree with his mind. He is aware of those weapons as he knew of the existence of Shin city. However, those who use such weapons rely on either the spirit beast core in the weapon or their own power or cultivation.

If it's the former then Shin Jiao might be a rich young master, but if it's the latter… then the captain could not help but feel a shiver down his spine.

This is because it only means that the young man in front of them which looks like not even in his 30's is actually a nascent realm cultivator. In this kingdom or even in the whole empire, there are only a few nascent realms that are at the age of 40 and below.

Upon thinking to this point, the captain has changed his impression on the young man who is weaving through the battlefield killing his foes.

"Assist him! Don't use your flying sword! Use the spell chants and talisman!" shouted the captain.

And so they assisted Shin Jiao and not long later eradicated the whole army of mercenaries. However, Shin Jiao noticed that there are those who have escaped in different directions, but he didn't want to waste his time chasing after them. He turns his attention towards the people wearing white.

"Hey, where is the main army of these mercenary groups?" he asked.

"In that direction towards the city council building." A young man excitedly replied.

"Senior, we can help, we would like to go with you." One of the young men said excitedly.

"Well, that is your choice, but I need at least 5 people to make sure this place is safe." Shin Jiao said nonchalantly as he hid the submachine guns and took out a long black katana.

With 5 left inside the barrier the rest of the men in white ran towards the direction of the city council building.. Their hearts felt excited and could not wait to see how a powerful cultivator would fight in a war.
