The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1200

(Unedited)

…

With one glance, it is clear that the power of a 5th level Ki fighter is very strong. The Ki energy coursing through that fist looks very dangerous.

However, even without using any Ki, that small young fellow was actually able to counter the strike and send Lin Ro flying towards one of his friends encircling Xin Ja and Qiang Yaoyao.

With a move of his body, Xin Ja suddenly grabs the soft hand behind him and quickly runs towards a stunned male.

Bam!

With a kick, he sent that person flying to the side.

The two were able to break through the encirclement and Xin Ja choose a narrow path.

When he and Qiang Yaoyao enter it, he did not hesitate to push her to stand behind him as he quickly scattered rune-covered bones on the ground.

The narrow corner could fit at most two people side by side and for Xin Ja, it is the ideal place to make his stand.

Soon the figure of Lin Ro appears in front of them.

"Hahaha… What a fool! Do you think you can escape me? You even run to a dead-end corner… Fool!" Lin Ro mocked as he chuckled.

Beside him, the other youths also chuckled as they mocked Xin Ja for his choice of place to run.

"I will kill you and no one will question me…" Lin Ro said with a proud smile.

"Oh… so if I kill you… Do you think your clan will chase after me?" Xin Ja suddenly asked with innocent eyes.

When the people heard this they all kept their silence.

"Hahaha… Stupid idiot!"

"He is just a country bumpkin… What a stupid brat!"

"Hey, you act like a hero but did not know what trouble you just enter… Hahaha…"

"You're dead… You are so dead!"

The people behind Lin Ro laughed their stomachs off while pointing at Xin Ja as if he is some kind of crazy and stupid person.

"Well… they can try and find me… But I assure you, that even if you are dead. Your clan would not be able to get their revenge on me… Hihi…" Xin Ja said with a challenging smile.

Lin Ro who is already angered suddenly became enraged.

"You stupid brat! Do you think you can escape my hand?!" he shouted as lifted his hand and a Mule appear.

Then from there, a sword appears in his hand.

"Everyone… Take this…" he said as he throws it to one of his companions.

Then another sword appears and another, until every person blocking the path is already equipped with a weapon.

"Now you will die brat…" Lin Ro showed his sinister grin.

At this time, Qiang Yaoyao is already scared. She feels a bit guilty as she is the reason why the young man she just met is in this predicament.

Actually, the reason why she talked to the young man is that she wanted to gain the anger of Lin Ro. And then from there, she would expose his cruelty and tell this to her parents.

But who would have known that her plan would go so bad that someone might even die because of her?

So how could she accept this?

"Xin Ja… I think, I think it is better if we do not fight them…" she whispered from behind Xin Ja.

"Do you want to surrender? Well, I don't have a problem with that… But you should know what will happen to you, right?" Xin Ja said with a smile.

Although he is still an innocent young man, Xin Ja has already experienced the cruelty of man's nature. He knew that no matter how kind or peace-loving you are, people will always take advantage of you… and oppress you.

When one of the cronies of Lin Ro pounces on Xin Ja, he suddenly found himself unable to move as his figure became sluggish while moving in the air.

"He… he set up a trap array?!" cried Lin Ro in alarm.

However, it was already too late as three people has already entered the trap array set up by Xin Ja.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to enter the trap array and his sluggish body moved slowly in the air. But his strikes are precise.

Puchi!!!

His sharp blade penetrated the shoulder holding the weapon of the one closest to him. The young man showed a pained expression as he sluggishly lets go of the blade.

Xin Ja's body then continuously went to the second one, and then the third one.

The three people are all stabbed on their shoulders, while Xin Ja stood inside the trap array, while he sluggishly turn towards Lin Ro and the rest with a challenging smirk.

His action truly incited the anger of the others.

"Damn it! I have not seen this type of trap array before… He can actually make our movement very sluggish… But he too moves slowly… If we can adjust our body, then we can fight inside that trap!" cried one of the young men.

His eyes seemed to be gleaming with interest as he quickly took a step forward.

He tried to gauge the slowness of the speed inside the array.

"I think it is 20 times slower than outside… We can do this… We can move as a group and kill that guy!" he said as he enters the trap array.

Xin Ja looks at the person with folded arms as he showed a slight smile on his face.

Soon the others enter the place and they began to try and adapt to the speed reduction inside the array.

But Lin Ro did not follow as he continues to observe the people inside the trap array. He suddenly lifted a stone from the ground and then imbued it with his Ki.

Suddenly, he throws the stone with all his might towards Xin Ja.

As the stone enters the array, it actually sluggishly flew. One could even see the slow-motion effect of the Ki as if it is bluish flame dancing on the surface of the stone.

The group then began to attack Xin Ja but could not catch him. What annoyed Lin Ro is that they are moving too slowly that it has already bored him to death.

With gritted teeth, he test out the trap array.

…

While this is happening, the higher-ups looking at this fight has already shown interest in the array that was formed.

"This guy is a genius… He is actually able to create such a complicated array in just a short time…" a captain said while watching the scene.

"No… This array is actually set up using bone runes. So, it is not that hard to set up as long as you know where to place the bones…" someone who seems to be knowledgeable in array said.

"Then… that means, there is another genius in this place. I guess besides that Xin Ja we are going to take that guy with us…" someone said.

The rest of the officers nodded their heads in agreement.

Meanwhile, Commander Zhang suddenly frowns as he noticed Lin Ro walking towards the array.

Lin Ro is the nephew of Lin Rongxian. If this guy met any unforeseen circumstance in here, then he would surely be blamed by the Lin clan.

They might not be able to do anything against the Xin anymore, but to him, if the 6th prince does not interfere then he would be in trouble.

So when he saw Lin Ro about to enter the trap array, his heart immediately skipped a beat.

He could tell that something is wrong with that array. He could tell that the ordinary-looking young man is not what he seems to be.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

"Wait a minute… This is not a coincidence, right?" he muttered.

He has learned about Xin Ja when he was searching for him at the borders. That young lad is a medical master, yes that could not be neglected.

However… aside from being a medical master, he is also a runemaster, a smithing master, an alchemist master, and a poison master.

Those are the things that he discovered about that young lad. That is the reason why the 6th prince is interested in that guy.

They were told that, if he could not be recruited to their camp, they should do everything in their power to destroy that lad.

And right now, he has an ominous feeling that this unassuming young man is none other than that Xin Ja.

When his thought came to this point, he immediately feels shivers running down his spine.

"No! I cannot let Lin Ro die!" he muttered as his figure flashed.

His movement caught the attention of the group.

"Stop him from doing anything stupid…" the 4th prince just said while watching the scene with a slight smile on his face.

Suddenly, a soldier came running towards them while trying hard to catch his breath.

Everyone noticed this soldier and one of them stops him.

"What is it?"

"Sir… the… the identity… gulp… That young man… that young man is… Xin Ja!" the soldier exclaimed after taking catching his breath and pointing at the figure of the youth inside the trap array.
