The Geared Immortal

Chapter 674

(Unedited)

…

The people surrounding Shin Jiao are actually not interested in catching him. Each of them has their own goals. The tall man in a white gown is here to know the secret of how the peasant immortal was able to destroy the silver armor.

The other clan lords from the town also have the same goal as him. Meanwhile, those golden armored fellow are interested in the black sludge. Though some knew where it came from, they didn't know how to harvest it and used it in a fight.

And those in silver armor are eyeing the rumored multiple energy core that this young man is carrying.

With each having their own goals, Shin Jiao could feel those eyes burning with desire.

He feels like he is a small prey being surrounded by lions that could not wait anymore to devour him.

Shin Jiao looks at them and snorted.

Then suddenly someone in golden armor threw a long spear. It was the same young man who attacked him earlier. The long spear flew like lightning, but Shin Jiao was able to see it and with a wave of his wand the black katana block it.

Ting!

The loud sound followed by a strong force made Shin Jiao take a couple of steps backward. Then he suddenly feels suffocating pressure covering his body.

When Shin Jiao discovers this, he knew what it was.

"Domain! Damn it! How could the use domain in this place? This… this is cheating." Shin Jiao cursed in his mind as his gaze shifted to the white-gowned young man.

Then he did not hesitate anymore and pointed the crossbow towards the young man's direction.

Seeing the action of Shin Jiao the young man sneered.

With all of his might, he pushed the trigger, but before that, Shin Jiao suddenly envelopes the bolt with his psychokinesis.

When the bolt flew out of the crossbow it was actually not affected by the domain of the white-gowned young man.

This made the young man show a surprised look on his face.

However, he did not linger and wanted to dodge. This time it was time for him to be shocked. This is because he suddenly feels that something is holding his leg.

"Look out my lord!" shouted a golden armored young man beside him.

That young man jumped in-between the bolt's path and his lord.

Crash!

The sound of something breaking was heard and a liquid was splashed all over the back of the young man.

When the golden armored protector whom Shin Jiao helped saw that scene, his heart suddenly stopped. Then he quickly shouted, "Remove your armor now!"

With that shout, everyone turned to the sight of the golden armored young man.

Shin Jiao has already exposed the liquid inside that vial at the tip of the bolt. Hence he knew that it would only take 3 seconds on impact before the liquid would turn into a black sludge.

So before the golden armored protector could react, his body suddenly feels stiff as a black sludge suddenly covered his body making him unable to move. And this scene dumbfounded everyone.

When they turn their attention to Shin Jiao, they discover that he is already gone. He has already run away on an open path of their formation.

"Don't let him escape!"

"Catch that rogue!"

"Let's make him suffer! How dare he oppose the clans?!"

Several young men began shouting as they dash towards the forest in an aim to chase after Shin Jiao. Meanwhile, the young man in a white gown carefully studies the sludge which envelopes part of the golden armored protector's body.

"This thing… what is it made of? I think I saw it from before…" he then shifted his gaze to the few young people in silver armor.

"Bring that Commander Gi to me, I want to ask him some questions."

With the word from one of the clan lords, everyone was a bit taken aback. They seem to have understood what is about to happen.

Meanwhile, the rest of the silver armored protectors felt pity for Commander Gi. They knew that the lord did not chase after that rogue peasant because he did not want to lose face.

In fact, his command was just a pretense to uphold the pride of the silver protectors. But who would have known that the peasant immortal is this formidable?

"What were you thinking, Jinga Vin?" the slender young woman asked as she walked beside him.

"Sigh… Aiya, you don't have to intrude in my affairs."

"You… don't you know what that person is?"

"I know, but I still have to uphold the law of the town."

"You… you are as stupid as they say. You can't even grasp the opportunity to help yourself… I… I never understand what my father saw in you…" the woman named Aiya said with a grumbling tone.

Upon hearing her words, the expression of Jinga Vin turned serious. He then looks at the beautiful woman in anger.

"What your father see in me is none of your business. You are just here to fulfill a promise. I will marry you as per the condition set by our parents. Other than that you don't have the right to reprimand me and my decision in front of my men." Jinga Vin said with a stern voice.

Upon hearing his words, the expression of Aiya turned ugly. She did not expect to hear those words from him. How could a lowly member of the extended family of the Vin clan compare to her status?

She is a true member of the Wine clan from within the 2nd generation from the 1st branch of the family. She just agreed to this marriage even though the 1st branch is not favorable because of the good relationship between the Vin and Wine clan elders.

She sneers at Jinga Vin and her figure suddenly floated in the air.

"Humph! I will tell you this… since I saw that young peasant. I will not let this slide. You have to give him to me to become a servant of my Wine clan." she said as he turns around and flew back to the town.

This made Jinga Vin felt that a headache is coming.

Aiya Wine did not actually return but landed in a clearing. In front of her are two young women in golden and silver armor.

"Are you sure that the peasant is a rare alchemist?" Aiya Wine said with a stern look on her face while looking at the silver armored protector.

Ni'il Jo nodded her head.

"Lord Aiya, the reason why those fools wanted him is because of the many energy cores in his hands. That was enough energy cores to help them reach another level. But I soon realized that the peasant is actually a very capable alchemist. That's why I wanted to capture him and take him to our clan."

Hearing the words from her subordinate, Aiya Wine's expression turned serious.

"I don't know what that Jingo Vin is thinking, but if I am right, he wanted to pry open the secret of that young man, the secret on how to break the silver and gold armors and weapons. I too am curious about that." She said.

"Then what should we do, my lord?" asked the golden armored young woman.

"Let's just let them take him back to town… and give me Frances Jill, one of our new servants. I heard he was the one who takes in that guy." Aiya Wine replied as she turned her gaze to the direction of the town.

Then the three of them went back.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently running for his life while a few figures are right on his tail. He dare not slow down as he did not want to be caught by them.

While running, he suddenly feels that something is coming straight at him from behind.

From that sensation, he knew that the people chasing after him have already caught up with him.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate to shift his body to the side and let a lightning energy pass and graze him slightly.

However, from that simple graze, he could feel his body stiffen a bit and a strong electrical current made him feel a huge pain in his body.

Shin Jiao staggered a bit while gasping for air as she tried to shake his almost paralyzed body from that electric shock.

He didn't want to linger in this place. So he suddenly grabs multiple circular orbs inside his pocket. Then with a wave of his hand, he threw those orbs towards the people that suddenly rush out of the bushes.

Then turn around and escaped once again.

"Careful!" shouted a golden armored protector as he threw out a fireball burning the palm-size glass orb.

However, as soon as the glass broke, the white liquid inside combines with the flame suddenly became a black sludge three times the amount of liquid inside the glass orb.

When he saw this, the young man immediately jumped back while the others also followed suit. They dare not enter the place where much black sludge is spread all over the place.

"Let's go that way!" he commanded and run in another direction.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand did not know where he is going as he was escaping frantically. All he knew is that he is now heading deeper into the forest.

Then suddenly he noticed that the sky is already getting dimmer.

"Damn it!" he cursed as he continues running.

But before he could run further, Shin Jiao suddenly felt that when he steps on a vine, he hit something. And before he knew it he was sent tumbling on the ground.

He could not control his body anymore, as he seems to have fallen into a dark pit. He rolled and bumps on many obstacles and even hurt his forehead. However, this pain is not enough to knock him down. Then soon he feels that his body was falling down.

"Damn it…" he cursed once again.

He concentrated and suddenly the candle replica was held in his hand. Upon pressing a small button on the side, a low light suddenly appears.

However, Shin Jiao felt cold sweat on his back upon seeing a huge demonic face suddenly appearing on his side. That demonic face has four eyes the size of a human head, and the head itself is bigger than Shin Jiao.

Its mouth is like that of a toad and it is filled with razor-sharp teeth, with foul breath coming out of it and the two small holes that look like its nose.

The giant demonic creature is looking at the falling figure of Shin Jiao with interest.

Then suddenly its mouth gape wide open.
