The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1159

(Unedited)

…

The situation suddenly turned very deadly as a soldier actually takes out a knife from his back and wanted to kill another soldier. They could tell that this soldier is actually affected by the aftermath of the war which made him turn a little crazy.

This kind of soldier is common in their bunch, so no one is surprised to see this. However, they are alarmed as they knew that the small youth would surely be dead as his enemy is actually a 4th level Ki fighter.

One of the soldiers nearby wanted to intervene but he was held by his companion who is shaking his head to say that the soldier should not intervene in this matter.

As the knife drew closer, the expression of Tou Gou warped hideously. He wanted to see the blood of the audacious youth who dare challenge him.

And then… to everyone's surprise, nothing has happened.

Instead, they once again saw a flicker appear and the knife stopped inches away from the small youth's throat.

This time, the crazy soldier is the one holding his throat.

Xin Ja might not be a match to him on a regular basis, but Xin Ja is not a regular person. Ever since training and learning and growing, Xin Ja has not relieved on brute strength to fight. Instead, he would use his resources and his knowledge to defeat the enemies who are stronger than him.

With the use of runes, he will break their Ki defenses, and with the use of his knowledge in anatomy, he would easily render anyone immobile.

But of course, he also knew his limit… and that limit is the 5th level. Fighting people above the 5th level would be like fighting against his own father who is at the 10th level. Xin Ja knew that his strength is not sufficient to battle his father at the moment.

Plus he could tell that his father is proficient in fighting techniques. He had seen him utilize techniques that are way above his level. If his father is using Ki, then he knew that the fight would immediately be over in an instant.

However… those that are below the 5th level just like the one before him are not even a challenge for Xin Ja, so he could easily destroy them.

The guy in front of him suddenly grabs his throat as he suddenly falls on his knees while trying to gasp for air.

His face began to turn purple and contorted into a messy state.

"He… he was struck on the neck! He is suffocating!" shouted a medic as he suddenly rushes over.

Without hesitation, that medic struck the stomach of that person which seems to have forced his throat to open up.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Everyone watches the scene with astonishment in their eyes. This also distracted Tou Gou from his anger as he realized that this small guy is not some pushover. He is actually something else as he can fight against people stronger than himself.

But that does not mean he would let this pipsqueak go. Since he has already offended him, then Tou Gou would teach him a lesson.

So he decided to act this time.

But before he could step forward one of his remaining henchmen suddenly took a step forward and swings his right hand forming a palm blade towards the youth's neck.

This is revenge for what his friend has suffered.

But how could Xin Ja not notice this?

Xin Ja leaned his body to the side, but this time, something went wrong as a strong aura suddenly suppressed his body. He was taken aback and his gaze landed on the figure behind the two attacking people.

Their leader Tou Gou has made his move using some kind of aura suppression attack which immediately froze Xin Ja's movement. The effect is not that long but it is enough to destabilize his movement.

Swoosh!!!

The palm blade strikes the neck of his target, but then suddenly the expression of the young soldier who attacked changes as he feels that something is wrong.

This is because his hand actually passes through as only an afterimage was left in the place where Xin Ja was standing.

Xin Ja is currently about 2 meters away from the young man while clutching his left arm. One could see a trickle of blood seeping out of his right hand which is trying to suppress the wound on his left arm.

"Damn! That was a fatal attack! This is not something that those guys should be doing, right?" one of the soldiers said while looking at Tou Gou's group.

"Shameless! This should be reported!" another soldier said.

But before everyone could say or do something, the voice of Tou Gou echoed inside the mess hall.

"Those who wanted to oppose me, then do so knowing that we will hunt you down! I will make sure that you suffer… or even die!" he threatened.

Everyone turned silent inside the mess hall.

But the silence did not last as someone began clapping.

"Haha… What a claim Officer Tou Gou… It seems that you are not in the army but instead in a gang. Hahaha… I think I wanted to step in, what can you do to me?" a slim-looking young man said as he takes a step forward and behind him at three people, two women, and a man.

"Officer Ur… this is not your fight…" Tou Gou suddenly said with an angry expression.

"This concerns my pride as an officer, how dare a mere medic look down on me and my team…" Tou Gou added.

"So you are going to kill a fellow soldier because of your foolish and lousy pride? Hahaha… What a ton of rubbish!"

"You dare! This is not your business, Ur Lax! Back off!" Tou Gou shouted in anger.

At this time the whole scene is quiet and tense as two powerful officers are now about to face off and fight because of mere 1st level medics who seem to be like loach which is hard to catch.

As two auras suddenly envelopes the entire mess hall, several aurae suddenly began to increase and balance everything.

When the soldiers discovered this, everyone immediately stood up for attention. This powerful aura alone is already enough to tell them that a commander and other high-ranking officers are in the area.

And sure enough, a group strode inside the mess hall and everyone quickly stand in attention. At this time, Xin Ja has already staunch the bleeding on his arm. When the group of high-ranking officers arrives near them, everyone has already made way for them and the ones left are Xin Ja, Tou Gou, and his still standing two minions, Ur Lax and the three behind him.

"Hahaha… This is an interesting event… But why do I see you ganging up on a medic?" an officer chuckled as he sees the result of the fight.

"But it seems that this guy has some fight in him…" he added as his eyes landed on Xin Ja.

The commander did not say anything, but the person behind him began whispering something to his heart that made him frown.

Xin Ja stood defensively on the side while his eyes have cautioned in them. He is not sure what would happen next, so his right hand is already prepared to take out his Ki buster. No matter what, if he truly wanted to live, then his only chance is to use the Ki buster.

When the commander sees his guarded stance, he nodded his head and a feeling of admiration could be seen in his eyes.

How could he not feel as such when the young man is unyielding and a fighter? He suddenly has a deep interest in the young guy who helped advance the medical master's ability in his battalion. He has just learned of this from one of his adjutants. If he did not help this youth, then he would not be a capable commander, right?

But then deep in his heart, he wanted something else.

Tou Gou suddenly steps forward with a headstrong expression on his face.

"Captain… I wanted to handle this as this is already personal… this person has stepped on the pride of my squad. I will not let this take lying down." he said while glaring at Xin Ja.

His glare and the rising aura in his body immediately intimidate Xin Ja who suddenly takes a step back.

His right hand is already on the side as if he is going to draw a weapon.

His weird stance immediately caught the attention of the commander and the officers.

"Commander… what should we do?" his adjutant asked while watching the scene ready to act in case anything happens to the small youth.

The commander did not say anything and the captain who is the officer in charge of Tou Gou's squad also did not say anything.

This only means that they have a tacit understanding that they seem to be agreeable to this battle.

With a slight smile on his face, Tou Gou had an evil glint in his eyes as he immediately decided to eliminate the bastard who shamed him.

"Your life is mine…" he thought.

But no one thought that this decision of theirs to see Xin Ja in battle was the biggest mistake that the battalion commander has made.
