The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1250

(Unedited)

…

The light blue sky reflects the slowly fading rays of the sun into the horizon. The receding light gives off the feeling of the dying ember of fire where the darkness would soon cover the land with its shadowy blanket.

Atop a hill lays a figure while looking at the sky as if in deep thought.

His mind could not forget what has happened to him a few days ago.

"Hey, Xin Ja…" a beautiful figure walks towards his side and sits beside him.

"Ey, I thought you've already left…" Xin Ja looks at Qian Yan who sits beside him.

"I was about to… But I wanted to say my goodbye first…"

"Alright… goodbye!" Xin Ja said with a grin.

Qian Yan smacks Xin Ja's forehead while she chuckles.

"Ow… What was that for?!" Xin Ja complained.

"Hihi… You know what… Of all the men I've known, you're the most different… You're not complicated, not arrogant, not bossy… and yet you are excellent in many things… I'm now deeply curious about who you really are…" she said as she leans closer to him.

Xin Ja swallowed a mouthful of saliva upon seeing the beautiful face getting closer to him.

He could not help but slowly pulls back his head deeper into the ground.

Seeing that his head is slowly sinking to the ground, Qian Yan could not help but chuckle.

"Hahaha… Silly boy…" she muttered.

She looks at the side and then at the surroundings. Seeing that no one seems to be minding them, she suddenly lowered her head and gives him a kiss on his cheeks.

Xin Ja was flustered as was a bit annoyed at himself for not resisting.

"Thank you… thank you for showing me what adventure would be like in real life…" she said then standup while patting her clothes.

"I'll be going then… If you have time to visit the capital city of the kingdom, give me a message… Okay?"

She then waved goodbye at Xin Ja and left hoping like a little girl.

Xin Ja could not help but touch his cheek that was kissed by her and then heaves a deep sigh.

"Sorry, Chenchen… I was a bit unfaithful… I promise… This will not happen again." he muttered while looking at the darkening sky.

However, his mind was suddenly brought to what has happened last time.

At Mount Cardinal, he was suddenly chased by the group of Tee Sumo. Xin Ja did not want to cause chaos in the racing area, so he decided to run and bring the battle to a bit of a distance.

When the group was about to reach the forest side of the mountain, Tee Sumo suddenly takes out an official compressed air weapon. It was one of the new models that were assigned to military personnel.

When Xin Ja saw the weapon he was flustered and did not know how that guy get his hand on a weapon like that.

An official military compressed air weapon or MCAW is unlike a civilian CAW which does not pack a punch. MCAW is powerful enough to defeat 5th level Ki fighters. If one combines their Ki with the CAW, then they could even defeat high-level opponents.

That is why MCAW is prohibited by the law and is strictly monitored by the military command. But it seems that there are loopholes in this.

But then Xin Ja did not have time to dwell on the issue as this time his life is on the line.

Tee Sumo suddenly pointed the MCAW towards him and without hesitation presses the trigger.

Ptaff!!! Ptaff!!! Ptaff!!!

A series of bolts flew towards Xin Ja who quickly run around and hide behind the trees. However, MCAW is powerful enough to destroy the trees so he has no choice but to continuously run.

Xin Ja went deeper into the forest.

Everyone keeps chasing after him. When they were deep enough, he suddenly turns around and then takes out his short sword.

His figure suddenly disappears and the group chasing after him was at a loss on how they were to find him.

So what if they belong to prestigious families and clans in the land? So what if they are the scions of their families. If they try to bully and fight against him, then they could only blame themselves for what is about to happen, to them.

Xin Ja quickly closes in on his first target. It was a young man wearing a golden brocade cultivator's suit. The young man looks like he belongs to one of the famous clans.

As he neared the guy, Xin Ja extended his sword and was about to strike the guy when suddenly, he felt a sense of danger from above him.

Xin Ja quickly dodges to the side. And before he knew it a figure has already appeared beside that young man protecting him from Xin Ja.

The place where Xin Ja was standing on already had a deep cut on the ground.

"You dare kill my young master! You should die!" the man shouted in anger.

Xin Ja did not feel flustered, instead, he glared at the man and then readied his sword. But then he suddenly feels another attack coming so he quickly somersaulted backward and dodge an incoming projectile.

Bam!

The ground broke into pieces as another figure holding a silver bow appears.

"Hahaha… Now kill this guy! We should kill him because he caused us to lose the chance to win over Teacher Qiang!" shouted the young men behind the two.

"I see the protectors!" greeted Tee Sumo to the two.

"You youngsters should go along now. We will take care of this pest…" one of the protectors wearing a red battle suit said.

The rest just looks at each other and began leaving the area.

Xin Ja, on the other hand, looks at the two men before him and frowned. He did not expect that there are powerful figures following these young men. He did even detect the two.

Well, he could only blame himself for not using his absolute sense at that time as he looked down on the teenagers wanting to fight with him.

"To be able to dodge my attacks, it seems that you are not a normal 1st level Ki fighter. It might be that you are hiding your true strength…" the other man who is wearing a black-clothed look at Xin Ja from head to toe.

"This brat is just crafty. But he is not that strong. We are already at the 10th level, how could he fight against us? Do you want me to kill him, or you do it on your own?" the red armored guy looks at the black one.

"You do it… I'll just watch to the side… Hehehe… If you cannot, then I would look down on your family… Hehehe…"

"Shameless…"

The guy in a red battle suit put his silver bow on his back and takes out two daggers.

"You should feel honored young man… I seldom kill with my precious daggers." The guy grinned and suddenly his figure disappeared.

His daggers accurately hit the neck of Xin Ja who showed a shocked expression on his face.

The red battle-suited guy grinned but then suddenly realized something.

"Oh, no… This is bad!" he thought as he suddenly somersaulted while dodging to a far distance.

But then he stopped as he noticed that something is wrong.

"What! An after image!" the black-suited guy exclaimed.

He quickly raised his sword and then looks at his surroundings.

"Come out you coward!" the black-suited man shouted while looking around.

The man in a red battle suit suddenly takes out a talisman and quickly uses it to cover his surroundings with thick smoke.

"Hey, come back here you coward!" shouted the black-suited guy.

He knew that they had encountered a very tricky situation.

But then suddenly he feels a strong killing intent from behind him. He quickly jumps forward at the same time turning his body behind to see the enemy.

However, he saw no one. Instead, he feels something inserted into his body.

When he looks down, he saw a glowing blade protruding out of his chest.

"I did not move… It was you who jump towards me…" a sarcastic voice echoed in his ears before he felt his consciousness fading.

The figure of Xin Ja is holding a short sword which has already skewered the black-suited guy.

With his ability to mask his killing intent, how could this man detect his presence?

Suddenly, Xin Ja's expression turned serious when he felt the strong killing intent.

"This is a big one…" Xin Ja muttered as he used everything in his power to dodge.

When he jumped to the side of the bushes, he suddenly discovered that there is actually a hole where he is dodging. When looking at the hole, he noticed that nothing is wrong and it would be a good place to hide from the devastating attack.

As he enters the hole… however, Xin Ja discovered something.

He suddenly found himself falling and rolling in the darkness. It was as if he suddenly fell into some kind of space trap.

When he realized this, his expression completely turned pale.
