The Geared Immortal

Chapter 588

(Unedited)

…

Dead but still living, their consciousness is still present but their minds are a little bit muddled. No one knew the pain of standing between life and death except for these creatures called, ghouls.

Jiangxi Do was a normal person living a normal life with his family. Because of their desire to live a carefree life within nature, he and his wife decided to build their home on the outskirts of the Yun Ji city near the northern forest.

There he tilled the ground and planted crops. And through his own sweat and blood provides a good life for him and his wife. Jiangxi Do is actually a martial cultivator when he was younger and was found to be a talented martial artist. His strength and his power are above that of his peers. But these talents of his gained the ire of many of his fellow junior disciples from the Wolf Fang Bandit sect and cause them to plot against him.

One night, one of the senior inner sect disciples planned to humiliate him, but he discovered it beforehand and turned the table on them. Because of this, the disciples banded together and hunted him. The sect discovered it too late and lost a genius, young cultivator.

Jiangxi Do escape the sect with a wounded body and a broken heart. He did not expect his own fellow disciples would do such a thing to him. And so he decided to leave the sect and in his heart, he planned to get his revenge for the humiliation and wounds he has suffered.

On his way, deep within the forest, he stumbled upon a hidden cave. The cave contains an ominous aura which made him fear. However, a voice is telling him to move on and enter. Enticed by the voice, he enters the cave and discovered a black cauldron, a skeleton, and some books.

He read and learned from the books as his heart was thoroughly consumed by the desire for his vengeance and to prove himself to those haughty bastards of his sect. After a year of staying deep in the forest, he has learned a lot using alchemy and became proficient in poison.

Plus he discovers the use of dark Qi. Dark Qi is more powerful than normal internal strength and can let him become stronger in a short time. However, the downside is the extreme headache and the pain all over his body.

But this didn't stop him to get his revenge.

And soon after a year, he walked out of the hidden cave and decided to go back to the sect and kill those petty bastards.

But on his way, he encounters a situation where a few youngsters encircling a beautiful young woman. From the conversation, he knew what they are planning to do with the woman. But then he was shocked to hear the voices from the few youngsters.

"Little miss, why don't you accompany these few elder brothers and have some fun… Hehe…"

"We promise we will make you feel good… Haha…"

"Get away from me, you… you scoundrel!"

When Jiangxi do hear those words, he was dumbfounded and the boiling hatred in his heart bubbles up. Without a second thought, he suddenly leaped out of his hiding place and suddenly became enraged. He attacked the group of young people and saved the young woman.

He lied on the ground with his bloody body and full of wounds after a long fight with the disciples of his former sect.

"I thought I was strong enough, but… but I guess my strength is not yet enough… is this my end?" he thought as his vision became dimmer.

When he blacks out he found himself lying in a soft bed and a great smell wafted through the air. When he turns around, he saw the beautiful young woman smiling towards him. And that was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen in his entire life.

And from then on, his life of revenge was changed. He lives a good life with the young woman and they both had a beautiful daughter and a son.

His life was already complete, until one day, disaster struck.

Unknown to him, the Wolf Fang Bandit Sect has discovered the death of the few young disciples and decided to do a manhunt.

One of the young fellows whom he killed was the son of a sect elder. And because of that, the sect didn't stop even after a few years have already passed. They found the culprit and his home and decided to strike.

It was night time and the whole family is having a happy dinner.

Suddenly, the wooden door was blasted open.

The whole family was frightened and the two children began crying out of fright. Jiangxi Do stood in front of his family while looking at the imposing figure striding inside the humble house.

"So the murderer lives in this place…" a cold voice said as the figure of a middle-aged man appears in front of the family.

"Who are you and what do you want with us?" Jiangxi Do said in an angry voice as he shielded his family behind him.

The little girl grabs his leg and said in a low voice.

"Papa, I'm scared…"

"Don't worry… papa is here. He won't let these people bully my little princess..."

Upon hearing those words, the middle-aged man laughed maniacally. His eyes turned red as anger can be seen seeping in his aura.

"You are living a good life while my son has died a bloody death… murderer…" the middle-aged man said in anger.

"What are you talking about? Who are you?..." but before he could ask for more, Jiangxi Do noticed the uniform of the young people outside his house.

"Wolf Gang Bandit Sect?…"

"Haha… so you know, traitor and murderer."

"Che… Murderer? Haha… It was your son who wantonly kills people and rapes women. You should say that to him, not me." Jiangxi Do said as he slowly walks towards a corner while leading his family.

He threw a knowing gaze at his wife and nodded. Understanding what her husband wanted to do, she held his hand and sadly looks in his eyes. She just mouthed the words, 'I love you', and when they enter the room.

"Haha... No matter what you say, I will get my revenge. Do you think your family can escape? Hehe… I will not kill only you, but I will also kill your family in front of you… you will suffer as much as I do." said the already maddened middle-aged man.

Suddenly the man attacked and Jiangxi Do counter. The two exchanged a few blows and both staggered a few steps back.

"Haha… you truly are the genius disciple of the Wolf Fang Bandit Sect, pity that you went against me and killed my son. No matter what happened today I must make you suffer before I kill you." The middle-aged man said as he suddenly takes out a soft blade from his waist.

The two once again clashed and Jiangxi Do was defeated with a few bloody holes in his body. Then the old man kicked the room where his family is supposed to be hiding and found that no one is there.

"Arrgghh!!! Damn it! Find them! Find them and kill them!" the middle-aged man said.

As he walked out, he saw the smiling face of Jiangxi Do with blood trickling down his mouth. In his anger, the middle-aged man stabbed Jiangxi Do on his stomach.

"Die!" the middle-aged man shouted as he walked out of the house in anger.

"Burn everything!" he commanded as he led the rest to go and find Jiangxi Do's family.

Jiangxi Do didn't die that night as was able to escape through the passage door with his life hanging in a balance. As an alchemist, he knew a few potions or two to stop his wounds plus using dark Qi he was able to gain a temporary boost of energy to go and search for his wife and children.

However, what met him is the tragic fate of his wife and two children.

On a bloody path, he saw three mangled and brutally killed figures. Upon seeing this scene, his eyes went blurry and his consciousness became muddled.

And that was the start of his transformation.

Three years later, and that was 1 week ago.

Jiangxi Do once again resurfaced the world. But this time, he is not a mere human anymore. Consumed by his guilt, anger, and hatred, his body slowly transformed into a powerful creature, neither living nor dead, a creature filled with resentment and desire for revenge. He was turned into a powerful ghoul.

And this same ghoul is the one currently terrorizing the village of Huaxing.

His main goal is to gather enough dark Qi before he attacks the Wolf Fang Bandit Sect and take his revenge for his family.

As his dead eyes look at the guard in front of him, the desire to kill clouded his mind, and suddenly charges towards the guard. He was angry as his attack was blocked by the guard with his shield. Jiangxi Do wanted to tear the guard apart in his anger.

Growl!!

He shouted as he rushes. However, before he can move his figure suddenly fell to the ground unknowingly. Because he has turned into a ghoul all the sensation in his body is already gone which made him an unstoppable killing machine. But for some reason, he suddenly fell making him feel confused.

The guard took this chance to attack and he barely dodges the sharp sword.

Although he is a ghoul and can't feel any pain, he still has some human instinct and is not totally muddle-headed.

After dodging he wanted to throw another attack towards the guard but found himself unable to do so as his fist would be hit by something. And this made him confused. The guard took every chance he can get to attack the monster without fear.

Seeing that he could not do anything and some powerful force is working in the shadows, Jiangxi Do decide to escape. He could not let himself fall in this place as this is only the first part of his plan. He still has many other places to harvest the dark Qi.

And so with that, he suddenly escaped in a sorry manner.

"Hah… Hah… that… that was scary… Hey, doctor Ji. Are you okay?" the guard tried to catch his breath after the creature ran away.

Hearing the guard's words, Shin Jiao nodded his head.. But his gaze didn't leave the direction where that creature ran off to.
