The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1055

(Unedited)

…

At this time, Xin Ja is showing a slightly worried expression on his face under his mask. The reason for this is because of the young woman that he has treated last night. He might have stabilized and finally cured her condition last night. But if she fought a battle tonight, then he is sure that her internal wounds would surely suffer.

There is a chance that the newly mended nerves would be severed and that would cause her to truly suffer and might even die.

Although he did not want to care about the group, yet his heart could not help but feel worried. It is something that he could not control.

He bit his lips and silently hoped that his conjecture was wrong and that the group would not fight each other.

But it seems that the group is bound to really fight this evening.

While hidden in the darkness, the group of Man Wanjing is watching the other group walking down the street.

Tang Hao who is the leader of the group is currently talking with Liu Zhan and the two look close. Upon seeing this, Man Wanjing could not help but feel a hint of jealousy in his heart. Though he did not admit to it, in truth, he likes Liu Zhan more than Yan Xinxi.

However, Yan Xinxi is easily goaded, and that he could take little advantage when he is with her. Hence he chooses to follow Yan Xinxi.

But as a man, he could not help but feel envious and jealous of the other guy who has gained the attention of the woman he likes.

And so, he is glaring at the two who are discussing something with each other.

Meanwhile, behind him, the expression of Yan Xinxi is gloomy. She could see the reaction of the men around her. As a woman, she knew that these bastards only like to be with her because of the little advantages she let them have.

However, she could also tell that these bastards like that Liu Zhen in secret, that's why she could feel the intense killing intent around her.

With a smirk, she suddenly grabs a dagger from within her bosom and suddenly flicks it towards Liu Zhen.

"You should just die… you bitch!" she cursed after flicking the dagger.

Everyone was taken aback, but they could not stop the dagger anymore since it already flew.

Their goal is to punish the group that insulted Yan Xinxi, but as students, they did not want to kill their fellow students as it is a violation of the academy's rules and regulations. So what Yan Xinxi just did is something that could merit the whole group to be kicked out of the academy.

They could not help but quickly ran away from their hiding position. They did not want to know what would happen next.

But from the way it looks, since the group is not prepared for the sneak attack, and the power of the dagger is infused with Ki, they are sure that one of those people would surely die.

Swoosh!!!

The dagger flew like a silver streak in the air flying directly towards the heart of Liu Zhen.

The group is oblivious to the danger their friend is about to face, as they are smiling while talking on the street.

The group has bought some food which they would be sharing together after completing their mission last night. They would also celebrate the immediate recovery of their friend, Liu Zhen.

Ting!!!

Suddenly, the group was startled as a figure suddenly appears in front of them like a ghost that suddenly pop out in thin air.

The group was taken by surprise and did not know what to do. They just gawk at the figure above them.

Then they saw that figure was sent flying towards a wall with a loud thud.

When that guy fell to the ground, the group then noticed a single silver dagger tumbling in the air while falling to the ground.

The tip of the dagger was inserted into the ground which shows that the dagger is infused with Ki energy.

Xin Ja could not help but curse on his weakness at this time while picking himself up. Luckily for him, the lump of iron he just bought is hard enough to resist the dagger which is infused with 2nd level Ki. If not, then he could kiss his ass goodbye.

Puh…

Xin Ja spew a mouthful of blood and knew that he has some internal injuries. However, he is not worried about it. With his skill and the gold sphere in his body, he could easily heal his wounds.

As he picks himself up, he noticed the group of people suddenly surrounding him.

"Brother, are you okay?" Tang Hao asked with a hint of concern in his tone.

When he saw the dagger and the figure flying, he knew that someone actually targeted them. Luckily their plans were foiled thanks to the masked fellow before them.

Xin Ja was a bit surprised, but he quickly realized that he is actually wearing a mask right now. So, these guys would not be able to recognize him.

He quickly nodded his head and slowly stood up.

"Thank… thank you... for saving us." Fu Linxue said she squinted her eyes.

She then looks at Gao Anxi on her side.

"This guy… he… he does not have Ki…" she whispered.

Then Gao Anxi also scrutinized the masked man before them and also nodded her head. Then the two women shifted their gaze to the dagger which has stabbed the ground.

The two seem to realize something and showed a surprised expression on their faces.

They knew of the story in the town since they were young. There is a particular young boy their age who was not blessed by the heavens to have Ki in his body. He was born weak and powerless. Then 5 years ago, an accident happened and 'Indestructible Jong' appears in the town. It is said that Indestructible Jong's son is actually that weak and powerless boy.

But because of that incident, he became a fool.

If their conjecture is correct, and that the masked young man in front of them who they think he really is, then Indestructible Jong might have taught his son his skills. This is the only reason why the powerless boy could have performed that trick a while ago where he blocked the dagger.

As if the two women had a tacit understanding they quickly walk forward.

"Little brother… Are you okay?" Fu Linxue asked with a gentle smile on her face.

How could she not want to get acquainted with this fellow? His father is the famous and reclusive Indestructible Jong. If they can get acquainted with him, then the latter might even impart to them some of his fighting skills.

That would surely gain them another ace when hunting in the forest.

"Here is some water little brother… drink this. It will alleviate your condition." Gao Anxi said in a caring manner.

Seeing their fawning and caring companions, the others in the group were shocked. Especially when they saw the always compose and stern, Gao Anxi act like that, it made them feel goosebumps all over their body.

Suddenly, Deng Xan who seems to be feeling a bit confused grabs Fu Linxue.

"Hey… What are you doing? What's going on?"

"Sigh… Can't you see that this little brother has helped us? We should thank him properly." Fu Linxue said with a pout.

She could not tell her plan to the others yet. So she should observe things as they go first.

Xin Ja feels a bit overwhelmed as the attention he is getting right now. Luckily for him, he has the mask on. If he does not have that mask, then he would have already fainted in front of these people. He is truly feeling overwhelmed especially by the smiles of the two beautiful young women in front of him. His heart could not help but beat faster.

But then, he quickly closes his eyes and wanted to run away as quickly as he can. He is truly feeling uncomfortable right now.

But before she knew it, a soft figure suddenly held his arm which made him stiffen like a rock. That figure is soft like it has no bone, and her feminine scent wafted to his nose almost making him pass out while a foolish smile appearing on his face.

How could a teenager like him without any experience with other people handle such a thing?

Feeling the stiffening body of the guy made Fu Linxue wanted to giggle.

But then, she suddenly feels the arm she is hugging jerked.

She was suddenly taken aback. And before she knew it, the guy in her arms suddenly vanished.

She was shocked at how fast that guy moved and how easy for him to wiggle out of her arms.

Then she saw the figure of the guy jumping in the air above them. This time, the masked young man, grabbed something in the air and suddenly diverted it to the wall.

Ping!!!

The group saw another dagger embedded on the wall.

Xin Ja dare not block the Ki energized dagger anymore and instead uses a technique to divert its trajectory.
