The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1070

(Unedited)

…

Two shadows suddenly rush into the chaotic battlefield. One is Hou Jiang, who was supposed to be wounded a while ago, and another new figure which the people in the hall did not know. They could not recognize the smaller guy because of his mask. Plus they showed astonishment in their eyes as they could not detect any aura in the masked young man's body.

"Haha… Hou Jiang! You have shown yourself at last! I will make sure to pummel you to dust!" suddenly Yao Xinghe shouted in anger.

His is now half bare as his upper robe has been ripped exposing his muscular upper body. One could see the different scars on him which are slowly healing as smoke comes out of his body.

"Damn… What a monster!" everyone exclaimed.

Meanwhile, the Dragon did not relax and suddenly whips its tail at the human who suddenly turned his gaze away from it. The dragon feels a bit angry for being ignored and is also very indignant because it has been pushed to the side as the humans combined their strength against it.

But the one that suppresses it the most is the human who is shouting the loudest. So it decided to teach the human why dragons are considered the strongest beasts on the planet.

Wham!!!

When the dragon's tail connected with Yao Xinghe's body, he was blown to the ground and created a large crater.

The dragon did not stop its attack there… instead, it quickly began to slam its tail over and over to the figure on the ground.

Right at this moment though, two figures are already standing while defending the already unconscious Yao Xinghe.

Wham!!! Wham!!! Wham!!!

The tail continuously slammed to the two but their defense seems to be holding up. On their hands, they are each holding a glowing stone that looks like defensive talismans. It means that the Yao clan has provided some of them life-preserving artifacts in their quest to this place.

"What are you all doing? Defeat the dragon!" shouted one of the Yao members.

However, no one made their move.

They have suffered from the shameless attacks of Yao Xinghe, and some of them were gravely injured because of him, so why would they help them?

They would rather watch the show than interfere.

At this time, Hou Jiang is standing on the side with the two members of the Hou family standing beside him. He did not know what he is feeling right now. Although that stupid guy wanted his life, yet he did not know why he still wanted to save them.

"Those three deserve this for attacking you…" the cold woman Hou Malou said while glaring at the Yao group.

"Well, they might… But we still need their help if we wanted to stop this dragon from rampaging…" the bulky leather armored clad Lin Gong said.

"Haha… You two do not have to worry about anything… I found us a very capable helper…" Hou Jiang said while pointing his nose toward Xin Ja's location.

At this point in time, almost all of the runemaster apprentices have suffered a few lights and heavy concussions on their bodies. They did not know why but the dragon seems to know what they were doing and would attack them at every crucial time.

Its flame breath has destroyed their rune array formation, and they would have to start over again every time. So they would have to start all over again every time and it has already cost them too much.

Suddenly, the runemaster apprentices saw a masked young man moving in a weird manner as if he is a shadow.

Then he appears before a group that seems to be not heavily wounded.

"I need two volunteers and several protectors…" he suddenly said.

"Who are you? How dare you command us?!" shouted a person who belongs to a guild.

"Who am I is not important, what's important is that we finish a simple trapping array as soon as possible!" the masked young man said.

When the group heard this, they were immediately doubtful. They did not know where this brat came from, but they could not trust anyone wearing a mask.

When one of them suddenly wanted to say anything, the dragon suddenly faces their group and blew out a tongue of flame.

"Damn it!" shouted one of them as his expression turned pale.

He has seen how that dragon's breath devastated the other groups. Even though they uses their defensive artifacts, it was all to no avail.

So upon seeing that it's their group's turn now, everyone was immediately in panic. But they could not leave their companions who are wounded. If they do, then those people would surely die.

One of the runemaster apprentices suddenly stood up and with a wooden staff on hand, he waves it in the air and slammed it on the floor.

This created a dome-shaped barrier around their group.

"Damn… this is the Turtle Shell defense created by one of the Elders… We are safe!" cried one of the runemaster apprentices.

Everyone turned happy as they saw the dome-shaped barrier around them.

The others who have suffered devastating defeat from the dragon showed dejected looks on their faces. How could they not know how strong the Turtle Shell defense is? That kind of defensive artifact is like the one used to protect the town of Ogden.

"Formidable!"

"They are truly lucky!"

"Damn, they should have taken that out earlier than wait for the other teams to be taken down… What a sinister plan…"

"Yeah, I think they just wanted to take more of the items in the inner chambers… What cunning people… Damn it!"

Different reactions could be heard in the hall by the different groups of people upon seeing the protective barrier.

Boom!!!

Crash!!!

But then suddenly everyone turned silent.

This is because… right in front of their eyes, the supposedly formidable defensive artifact was actually shattered by the dragon's breath.

With the shattering of their protective barrier, the runemaster apprentices quickly raise their own personal barriers as quickly as they can. Those who were late were turned into cinders, and the weak ones were blown away like burning rag dolls.

Everyone turned silent.

The dragon at this time still continues slamming its tail at the three people on the crater at the same time to the others around it.

In this chaotic circumstance, no one noticed a small figure scattering a few rune-filled bones in the area.

If one would look at the masked youth, one would say that he is just casually throwing random things on the ground and also throwing it on the walls and at the ceiling. No one could see the meaning of his actions but he himself alone.

Xin Ja has already determined the right rune formation to use at this time. But he would need at least three 4th level Ki fighters for this array to work against the dragon.

After spreading finishing his preparation, he suddenly signaled Hou Jiang to go to his spot.

"Big brother Jiang, he is calling for you…" Hou Malou said.

"No… He is calling for the three of us…" Lin Gong muttered upon seeing the masked youth pointing at the three of them.

"Let's go!" Hou Jiang did not hesitate and quickly ran towards Xin Ja's location.

Their movement did not escape the dragon's quick eyes. It suddenly saw the figure ahead of the three, and it felt a bit annoyed. It did not understand how could a weak worm enter the hall? But it has no time to think about anything. All it knew is that humans are very crafty beings. It needs to eliminate them as soon as possible. If not… then it would suffer from the human hands.

It has already failed to protect the treasures left by its master many times already. But every now and then, it would still win against the humans. So as time goes by, it soon learned of the ways of the weak humans and it began to create countermeasures against them.

That is the reason why it knew who to target and what to do.

But for some reason, it did not expect that a weak ant would appear. From the looks of it, the three are running towards that small human to try and protect him from it.

Feeling a hint of excitement in its eyes, the dragon decided to make the three humans despair.

It suddenly lifted its gigantic tale and swings it towards the location of the small human ant. It could not wait to see the reaction of the three after it squashes their companion into a human paste.

When the three are around 10 meters away from the masked young human, its tail suddenly flew faster.

Everyone who is seeing this scene could not help but gape at the masked young man. They did not know if they would feel pity or laugh at the stupid lad.

When they looks at him and saw no aura around his body, they immediately thought of two things. One is that the masked youth has a broken dantian and is now trash, and the other one is that he is a senior in disguise.

But the latter is impossible to happen as this place has a restriction.

Upon thinking to this point the onlookers could not help but shake their heads.
