The Geared Immortal

Chapter 653

(Unedited)

…

A stifling atmosphere and a very dangerous circumstance are currently surrounding everyone especially those from the Xian clan. With a hostage on hand, they dare not make a move against the naked giant floating in the air.

A young man is currently seating in anger upon seeing the condition of the old man in the hands of the giant. Although there is a long sword embedded on the giant's stomach, it seems to not affect him in any way. However, he could already see his grandfather feeling really weak and the suit covering his body is already in tatters.

As the young master of the Xian clan, Mengyao Xian knew what the suit is and why his Great-great-grandfather needed to wear such a suit.

He was raised in the Xian clan with much respect from his clan members. And the person who doted on him the most is his great-great-grandfather which is their clan's ancestor and the most powerful cultivator in their clan. In fact, his power is not only in their clan but also in the whole town.

That's why upon seeing the old man, Mengyao Xian clenched his fist really tight and threw killing intent towards the giant.

"Damn you! Let go of my Great grandfather!" shouted Mengyao Xian in anger.

Gaeus Ro who already felt a lot of killing intent towards him did not mind it. This is because according to his perception these lowly beings, only in the gold core realm and the infant soul realm, are not worth his time. He could just kill them with one flick of his finger.

However, he suddenly feels that something deep inside of him wanted to kill everyone in the area. It was like an itch that he really needed to scratch.

And so he shifted his gaze towards the people in his surroundings. Then suddenly he activated his skill and began absorbing the Qi inside the body of the old man in his hand.

When this happened, the already badly beaten and heavily wounded Kai Xian was jolted into awakening. Then he struggles to lift his head and look at the giant holding him by his neck.

He slowly recalled what had happened and how he was able to stab the long sword in the giant's stomach. But he knew that the blade did not go deeper. However, before he knew it the ceiling suddenly collapses and he felt darkness engulfing him.

Although the rocks above are heavy they are not enough to crush his strong physique. However, the ceiling does not only have those rocks but also a large number of rubbles and land from above. And when these are combined, even with his strong physique he is sure that he would not survive.

He then immediately activated a defensive talisman which engulfed his body in silver light.

But still, that was not enough and he was still buried under the heavy rubble crushing his body and everything turned dark.

And now he woke up in this situation, a helpless situation.

His power is beginning to be drained slowly. This made Kai Xian showed a pained expression on his face.

"No!" suddenly someone shouted from the ground and a figure dashed towards the giant.

Mengyao Xian did not want to hold back anymore and immediately attacked. He brandished his sword and directly strikes it towards the thick arms holding his great-great-grandfather. His goal is to cut it so that the giant would let go.

However, before he could strike, a palm suddenly appears at the side of his vision.

That palm strike from the giant was too fast that Mengyao Xian did not have time to dodge and instead raised one of his hands to block the attack.

Bam!

His small figure comes flying to the ruined ground really fast. One could see a small crater and inside it is the sorry state of Mengyao Xian.

Seeing that his great-grandson whom he doted was swatted like a fly, the heart of Kai Xian suddenly felt like being stabbed. Although he is a bit selfish at times, yet he truly doted on this grandson of his. Hence upon seeing this scene in front of his eyes, anger filled his mind and he wanted to fight back.

However, no matter how much strong Qi he uses, it seems that he could not do anything as it would immediately be dispersed.

Hence Kai Xian is angry but the feeling of helplessness appears in his heart for the first time since he started cultivating.

Suddenly, multiple figures flew up in the air and also began attacking the giant. Wind blades, fireballs, ice spikes, flying swords, and many more attack flew towards the giant.

This made Gaeus Ro showed an annoyed expression. Suddenly with the old man still in his hands, he spread domain in the air and envelops those people attacking and their weapons. With the total control domain, Gaeus Ro immediately got control of those projectiles coming towards him and held those people in the air.

Then he began sending those projectiles towards those people attacking him.

Boom! Puchi! Crash!

Different sounds echoed in the air as the multiple figures from the Xian clan who began attacking the giant fell from the air like flies.

Those who have not attacked yet were all terrified upon seeing this scene. They also felt that strong pressure. Those kinds of pressures are only emitted by powerful beings. So how could they act and attack the giant? Instead, everyone began taking a few steps back.

"Everyone… everyone should escape… leave the town… everything would be destroyed… this… this being is unstoppable." A weak voice suddenly echoed through everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this weak voice, they knew that it came from the old ancestor of the Xian clan. The rest did not hesitate and immediately retreated towards the town. Meanwhile, the people from the Xian clan who are still able to move stood their ground.

Then with one heart, everyone shouted in unison.

"We will fight to the death with you Ancestor Kai… We will not shame the Xian name in our blood!"

These words stir up the hearts of the cultivators from the Xian family. They did not want to back out from this fight. The scene of their ancestor being treated like that made their blood boil in anger.

Everyone immediately took out their weapons and prepare to fight.

Suddenly many other groups of people stood with them.

"Our Ancestors are also in there… We will fight this monster to the death with the Xian clan!" shouted the rest of the people.

Those who have already retreated didn't bother turning their gaze back this is true especially to the Si clan. They are not a fighting clan. As a group of alchemists, their fighting prowess is not that great, that's why they decided to just run back to the town and warn the others of the impending doom.

While this is happening, inside the ruins a figure navigates underneath the ground like fish in the sea. With Shin Jiao's skills and abilities and his domain already reaching the elemental control, it became easy for him to navigate inside the sand, rocks, dirt, and debris.

He carefully scanned his surroundings and tried to estimate where those old men are.

He soon found his first target, the old man with the curious weapon, the chakram. Luckily when he shot and destroyed the arms of the old man, his weapons were not lost and ended up nearby buried under the ground.

Shin Jiao was able to find and it and with a smile kept it inside his ring. He also took the old man's ring and pouches.

After getting what he needed, he then continues towards the second old man, the one with the dragon sword.

Shin Jiao saw that the old man is barely alive, but half of his body is already crushed. Hence Shin Jiao just ended the old man's life and took his things.

Then his third target is the old man with that unique cauldron. From one look Shin Jiao knew that there is something wrong with that cauldron. Hence he immediately estimated the location and soon arrives where the old man was supposed to be buried under the heavy dirt.

However, what he saw thoroughly stupefied Shin Jiao. This is because the old man is actually inside the large black cauldron. The old man is still alive, but shin Jiao could tell that he was heavily wounded. If his memory serves him right, this old man is from the Si clan, the clan who drove his friend Jin Tong and his family out of their home.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate and suddenly arrive near the cauldron. However, before he could do anything he saw the old man opening his eyes and giving Shin Jiao a cold glare.

"I knew that there is something wrong with the formation… It was you… you are the one who ruined our plan. You destroyed everything!" the old man said in a grim tone.

"Pfft! You guys are crazy. Did you know who you guys just woke? Stupid old bastard…" Shin Jiao sneered.

But then the old man and the cauldron suddenly glowed in golden colors. Then strong energy came forth and the cauldron with the old man dashed out from its buried position.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion and a flying cauldron suddenly came out of the hole.

As soon as the cauldron came out the old ancestor from the Si clan suddenly jumped out from inside. His body has already partly recovered using high-level healing pills which he made for himself.

However, his appearance surprised everyone. When the people surrounding the giant saw him, they all showed a surprised look on their faces. Then suddenly everyone became happy.

They knew that this old man is a powerful person. Though his clothes are filled with blood and just like the state of the old man from the Xian clan, at least he is not caught by the giant. Hence everyone immediately threw their hope on him.

The old ancestor of the Si clan saw the situation and was immediately afraid especially when he saw the giant and the Kai Xian. He knew that Kai Xian lost the fight and he needed to escape this dangerous situation ASAP.

But then before he could react, everyone was dumbfounded on what happened next.
