The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1221

(Unedited)

'¦

Someone suddenly appears before him and his speed is really fast.

From the looks of it, this person is somewhat at the 13th or 14th level and his appearance caught Xin Ja off guard.

He was too confident that the enemy has already retreated as the war was about to end. But who would have thought that because of his slight negligence, the enemy would be able to catch him?

Swoosh!!!

The enemy sent a fist targeting his shoulder.

He knew from that instant that this person is not going to kill him'¦ but instead wanted to capture him.

Xin Ja rolled his shoulder to the side as he plans to deflect the punch of his enemy.

He is not stupid enough to also punch the incoming fist.

It would have been cool to also punch and meet the incoming fist head-on, but he has learned that that is not how things are supposed to be done.

In the military training he has participated in the past, he had seen lower-level Ki fighters or same-level Ki fighters meeting the fists of their enemy and ended up breaking their own fist or both broke their fists together.

When seeing such a thing he could not help but appreciate the fighting theory taught to him by his unique vision.

And now that he is fighting against another stronger person, he now knew what to do.

At least this time, he knew that the disparity in strength would not be that huge. And he would not be a punching bag of the opponent.

As he deflected the fist, using his own shoulder, he quickly countered with a quick jab on the opponent's face.

Bam!

Xin Ja is now at level 9 and his strength is not like when he was at the lower levels. With the help of the exoskeleton, his strength could now reach around level 11'¦ the strength of a Ki Adept.

So this simple jab and the deflected punch have caught the enemy unprepared.

The Ki Adept staggered on the ground as he almost lost his footing.

When he recovered, he almost turned red in embarrassment as he did not expect that a mere 1st level could do such a thing to him who is already at the 13th level.

"How dare you punch my face?!" the man shouted as he glared at Xin Ja.

"You should know your place, weakling!" he shouted as he suddenly dashed towards Xin Ja.

The man wanted to grab his neck and his speed is really fast and quick.

But Xin Ja would not lose when it comes to speed and quickness. He immediately uses his shadow steps and before the enemy knew it, he is already gone.

The enemy was stunned when he noticed that he actually tried to grab an after image.

Bam!

Suddenly, a strong punch hit his Ki field making him stagger a step back.

He suddenly showed a surprised expression as he has not underestimated his opponent this time and had already put up his Ki field.

But who would have known that this 1st level piece of trash would be able to push him like this?

"You'¦ you are not a 1st level Ki fighter'¦ Your strength should be around the 11th level'¦" that guy said with an astonished look on his face.

"But'¦ how could you hide this?" he said as he glared at Xin Ja as if wanting to dissect him with his sight.

"You don't have to ask this question'¦" Xin Ja said as his eyes turned serious.

Suddenly, he vanished from his position, and then his figure seems to have totally disappeared.

The guy was immediately shocked as he suddenly feel like he just fought with a ghost and that ghost is gone now.

Suddenly, he heard some footsteps.

"Commander'¦ did you capture the brat?" asked a female soldier as she arrive in the area with another soldier.

They are wearing civilian robes, but Xin Ja knew that they are soldiers from the Glysko kingdom judging from the way they talk.

"He'¦ He disappeared. That guy is too crafty. And the information is wrong, he is not'¦" the Commander of the enemy said but stopped when his head suddenly tilted upwards.

The two before him showed a shocked expression as they noticed that their commander is currently holding into a pinky-sized bolt.

The commander was able to catch the bolt which Xin Ja has fired while he was still hiding.

With the quick reflexes of a Ki Adept, the bolt is not fast enough to deliver a fatal blow for the sneak attack.

However, before that commander could react, he suddenly saw his two subordinates falling to the ground.

The female soldier was lucky enough to tilt her head and only her left ear was hit, but the male soldier's neck got impaled by the pinky-sized bolt.

Arrgghh!!!

The female soldier cried as she grabbed her left ear as blood began pouring out. Meanwhile, the male soldier immediately fell on the ground as he chases after his breath before dying.

"Shit! Bastard! Get out of here! Stop hiding!" the commander shouted in anger.

He glared in the direction of the sound and then formed his Ki from his fist and sent a Ki fist projectile towards the tree where he heard the weapon from.

Boom!!!

The tree was turned into dust as it was hit by his powerful flying Ki fist.

"Sir, our mission is now compromised'¦ We have to retreat!" the female soldier said as she quickly ran.

Ptaff!!! Ptaff!!! Ptaff!!!

Suddenly, as the two began to run away, a series of sounds coming from seemingly different locations in the forest began bombarding them with bolts.

The female soldiers were not fast enough and her Ki field was not strong enough to resist the Ki of Xin Ja which is already at the 9th level. She was hit several times on her right arm and back, but she still continues running away.

Meanwhile, the commander also sent flying fists in the direction where Xin Ja would shoot. And the forest was now filled with explosions.

Xin Ja decided to stop when he was about to get hit by the powerful Ki fist of the commander.

He knew that if he was hit by that thing, then he would surely suffer heavy wounds.

He just watches the two run out of the forest before activating the jet thruster on his back.

With a push of the control in his hand, his figure suddenly hovered on the ground.

This sound immediately caught the attention of the commander, but he has no time to turn around and go back.

This is because'¦ he knew that the 5th fortress is going to send an army after them at this time.

Xin Ja, on the other hand, looks up and then presses another button in his hand and his figure shoots straight up in the air.

The commander and the female soldier who just walked out of the forest suddenly heard the sound of the jet thruster and saw the small figure flying above the forest.

"Damn it'¦ Is'¦ is he a Ki Master?" said the commander subconsciously.

This is because'¦ only Ki masters could hover in the air and beast tamers with their beasts.

But since that small figure is not using any beasts, then he could only be a Ki Master.

But of course, the commander would not believe such a thing as he has fought against Xin Ja and knew of his true strength.

So he feels confused until he noticed that Xin Ja is wearing a strange backpack. He has seen this a while ago and just thought that it was just a thick piece of armor. But who would have known that it could do such a thing?

"This is bad'¦ If'¦ If the Jimal kingdom could create such a thing, then their army would soon be unstoppable'¦" the commander said.

The two then quickly turn around'¦ the commander grabbed the female soldier and carried her in his arms. He could feel that she is getting weaker due to blood loss.

With a great view above, Xin Ja looks at the two figures below. He then slowly takes out a long rifle from his ring and then aimed at the figure on the ground that suddenly started running really fast.

"He surely can run really fast'¦" he muttered.

Then he noticed a large troop coming towards the direction where that guy was running at.

"Let me take care of you first'¦" Xin Ja muttered as he take an aim and controlled his killing intent.

Bang!

The huge recoil and kick from the rifle destabilized his hovering and sent Xin Ja flying backward.

He did not know what happened next as he tried his best to control the jet pack. But it was to no avail as he directly plunges to the ground.

As soon as his figure hits a tree, Xin Ja did not hesitate to activate his Ki field and at the same time crossed his arms in front of him.

Bam!

The thick tree was shattered, but Xin Ja also did not farewell.

As he falls to the ground, the jet pack on his back suddenly caught into something and then exploded which sends him propelling like a cannonball to another tree.

"Damn it!" Xin Ja curses.

Bam!
