The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1171

(Unedited)

…

The Comara is not that hard to defeat, so Xin Ja did not have to worry about it that much. However, what made him worry is the strange feeling he is getting from deep within the darkness behind the trees.

And true to his feelings, a powerful enemy has suddenly appeared. And yet it is not a beast or a monster but a figure of a man and a woman.

The figure of a wounded woman suddenly appears out of the bushes and with a step of her foot she dodges the flying blade to the side. The blade directly flew and strikes the head of the Comara which made the creature suddenly convulse and then fall to the ground.

And now that the only ones left in the area are three people… Xin Ja, and the two intruders.

"Hmm… You guys have foiled my fun…" Xin Ja said with a frown on his face while looking at the two people before him.

No one answered him, but the guy's hand suddenly flashed and a dagger enveloped with Ki was sent flying in his direction.

Twang!!!

The dagger was sent flying in another direction as a short sword deflected it with a swipe.

The guy showed a shocked expression on his face as he looks at Xin Ja with a hint of vigilance.

Since he has been attacked, Xin Ja grabbed this chance to truly try out his new suit. The guy before him is a 6th level Ki fighter, and that is what he is aiming for… someone above the 5th level.

Swoosh!!!

The figure of Xin Ja disappears and appears in front of his enemy while swinging his short sword.

Clang!

The guy was able to quickly react as he blocked the attack. His leg suddenly moved and sent an attack at Xin Ja's stomach. It was already too late for him to dodge, so he shifted his body forward.

Instead of the enemy shin hitting him, Xin Ja's body is already near him and his leg hits Xin Ja's side. Xin Ja took a few steps to the side as he stabilize his balance. However, the man did not let him take a breather. He suddenly grabs this chance to take out a dagger from somewhere in his body and swings it to Xin Ja's neck.

Clang!

Xin Ja blocked the dagger with his sword. But the man did not relent and once again attack.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two began exchanging blows but none of them has taken advantage of anyone. In one look, it seems that the two are equal.

Only Xin Ja knew the reality of things as he monitors the status of his armor and body.

"So the weakest output of this armor is at the 5th level…" he thought.

With his skill and fighting ability, he is able to even face against a 6th level Ki fighter. And that is the biggest difference between those that only rely on power and those that have skills. And because of that, even at the 5th level using his armor, Xin Ja is able to be equal to his opponent.

"Damn it! How could a mere 1st level thing like you have such power!" the man suddenly exclaimed as he takes a step back.

He is panting heavily after that few exchanges. He then glared at the figure in front of him and finally noticed that the person is actually a youth. The man was a bit shocked. He could not believe that he could not even fight against a mere 1st level youth.

"What… are you?" he muttered while looking at Xin Ja in wariness.

"Me? I am nothing more than your worst nightmare…" Xin Ja said as an evil smile appears on his face.

The guy immediately feels that something is wrong. His innate instinct is telling him to run and escape as fast as he could. If he is late than a second, then he would surely be dead.

Although his mind and logical thinking are against that thought, Yi Gauwan values his life more than anything in this world. Plus the thing that is keeping his life at most is his sharp instinct. And right now his sharp instinct is crying desperately deep in his mind that the brat in front of him is very dangerous and he has to escape.

Without hesitation, he suddenly crushed a vial in his hand and a cloud of black smoke began to spread. Right at that moment, a powerful gush of wind suddenly appears and blasts the smoke away. Along with the smoke were the trees standing behind the black smoke.

Hummmm!!!

The sound of vibration in the air covered the area as it destroys the forest up to 50 meters.

The vibration was too powerful that those trees affected by the vibration shattered into bits and pieces and scattered in the area. A dust cloud covered the area and the ominous sound of the vibration spread all over.

This skill is the Humming blade which he has learned from the library of skills of Shin Jiao. At level 5 strength and Ki effect, he could now see how strong and devastating such a skill could do.

Xin Ja also noticed a few animals on the ground lying like they were boneless. Their skin is still intact but their bones seemed to have been shattered from within. He did not know why but all he could say is that the skill is far terrifying than he thought.

But what surprised him is that he could not find the man in the area anymore.

"It seems that the guy was able to escape." He muttered.

He then checked his body and saw some of the wounds caused by the guy.

"I should not look down on him. If he has more skill rather than relying on his own strength, then I might have lost…" Xin Ja thought as he saw a wound that is close to his heart.

He then shifted his gaze and noticed that the woman is already lying on the ground and had been unconscious.

"Hmm… Should I help or should I not…" he thought as he did not know the real situation.

"Well, since she is not his match, then she would not be that strong… I think I can just tie her up after helping her with her wounds."

…

The rays of the sun slowly rose up in the sky and its golden rays illuminate the dark forest.

Above a tall and sturdy looking tree is a huge branch and on that branch is a treehouse the size of 120 square meters.

As the golden rays of the sun enter the glass window of the treehouse, the long eyelashes of the figure lying on the bed quiver.

Then suddenly, the figure's eyes open and the beautiful face of a young woman came out from underneath the bed sheath.

Her eyes are wide open when she noticed that something is wrong with her surroundings… everything around her something that she has not recognized. The pieces of furniture are weird, the design of the room is… neat and she notices some strange objects everywhere.

She wanted to grab one of them in her curiosity but she suddenly discovered that she is actually bound.

Both her hands and feet are bound. But the strange thing is that she could not feel the pain from the ropes that bound her.

She wanted to break free, but she could not.

Suddenly, the room of the house opens and a figure walks inside.

"Oh, you're awake!" Xin Ja said with a smile.

On his hand are a bowl of piping hot soup and a piece of bread.

"You should eat first…" Xin Ja said as he put the bowl of soup on the small side table.

The woman on the bed suddenly shifted her body to the side as if trying to get away from him.

"Calm down… You were wounded and I healed your wounds last night when you passed out… I am sorry for your clothes… they are filled with blood, so I have to change them…" Xin Ja explained.

When the woman heard him, her eyes suddenly shifted to her body and that is the time she realized that she is wearing a comfortable piece of thin clothes. From the design of the clothes, she could already tell that it is worn by the people in the kingdom of Jimal.

But what made her want to cry is the thought that a man actually changed her clothes. She did not know what happened and did not want to think about it. She values her dignity and right now, she suddenly wanted to kill herself than live with the shame.

As if knowing what is on the young woman's mind, Xin Ja scratches his head and awkwardly said.

"I… I did not do anything to you. Do not worry about anything.. The most important thing is that you are alive… I have rescued you… I would not want you thinking of dying on me now, okay?" Xin Ja said trying to appease the young woman's tumultuous feelings.
