The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1304

…

The murky air envelope the surroundings of the old and dilapidated ruined city.

3 years ago, this city is still bustling and filled with life. People running as they needed to go to work, vendors selling their wares, and children going to school, are things that can be seen in this city.

But now, everything is in ruins.

Car wreckage and ruined pavements of the roads could be seen everywhere.

Among the ruins are the demons that roam this place which is now claimed as their own.

Atop a building, a young man wearing a tattered cloak is currently standing while observing what is below him. His sharp eyes are like that of an eagle seeing those creatures lurking below.

It has been weeks since he enters this ruined city near a town called Aven.

He has been hunting the demons in this place, he got wounded and suffered but he did not give up and continuously train himself in extreme life and death battles.

This young man is Xin Ja who has been in this place for more than a month now.

On his head is a goggle to protect his eyes.

The scar on his left cheek made him realize that he almost become blind in one of his battles with a demon. Luckily he was able to dodge its long claws and save his eyes.

And because of this, he crafted the goggles to protect himself using the black stone.

"D-rank Spike guzzler…" he suddenly muttered as a smile appears on his face.

If he could kill one of these creatures he would be able to keep its meat for a while. Out of all the demonized beasts in this place, these types of wild boar-like creatures have scrumptious meats. So other than gaining its Ki, he likes hunting them because of their meat.

As he saw that there are three, he did not hesitate to suddenly jump up in the air and fall down towards those unassuming beasts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before landing, he fired three-shot from his Magnum revolver which killed the two beasts in an instant.

However, the last one is way bigger than those two so he was not able to kill it in one shot.

The huge creature staggered and then shifted its gaze to a spot.

Bam!

A loud sound erupted in the air as a cloud of dust scattered when the figure of Xin Ja landed on the ground.

Without waiting and hesitation, the huge boar with fur that looks like sharpened steel spikes charges at the figure that just landed.

Xin Ja draws his blade and quickly slashes the side of the spike guzzler.

Clang!!!

As if cutting hard steel, he was taken aback and did not expect that his sharp blade was not able to cut through the spiky fur of the creature.

Roar!!!

The board turns and wildly charges at Xin Ja.

He dodges to the side and slashes the beast's leg.

This made the beast topple to the ground kicking up a dust cloud.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja began slicing the spike guzzler but most of his attacks could not penetrate its spike fur.

"This one is tough…" he muttered with a smile.

However, Xin Ja suddenly frowns and then tilted his head to the side.

Bang!

A bullet whizzed past through the side of his face. He was not hit by the bullet as he was able to dodge it. The bullet hits the downed creature but is unable to penetrate its sharp fur.

Xin Ja glared in the direction of the bullet and three men suddenly stood up from afar.

Roar!!!

The beast angrily roared but suddenly become quiet as a short wakizashi blade was embedded on its forehead penetrating its brains.

"I knew you would be here…" the short man which seems to be the leader of this group chuckled as he walked toward Xin Ja while carrying an automatic rifle.

"Who are you?" Xin Ja asked in a cold tone.

"We are just passersby trying to earn some money… Hehe…" one of them answered.

"Pass by then…" Xin Ja said while waving his hand.

"Well, we cannot… for our money is right in front of us…" the leader replied.

Silence pervades the air as Xin Ja looks at the three men.

Suddenly, one of them made his move by placing his hand on the trigger and was about to squeeze it.

But as soon as he did so, Xin Ja has already appeared beside the guy, he uses the machete that suddenly materialized in his hand, and he hacks down cutting the guy's hand.

Arrgghh!!!

His scream startled the two who also brandishes their weapons and pointed them at Xin Ja.

But before they could even make this move, they all suddenly touches their necks and saw the figure of their target appearing at the place he first stands.

The three people fell down and became a corpse.

Xin Ja closes his eyes as he absorbed the Ki in the air.

"It seems that I truly am a Ki master now…" Xin Ja muttered as have been observing his progress for a while now.

He quickly stored the corpse of the spike guzzler in his ring and then takes the weapons of the three awakened.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to quickly walk out of the ruined city.

A few minutes later when he was approaching the exit of the city, he suddenly noticed a powerful ripple in the air.

From these ripples alone he could tell that two powerful beings are fighting.

Boom!!!

Ka-Boom!!!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The sound of buildings being destroyed along with powerful energy ripples in the air echoed throughout the ruined city.

Xin Ja even noticed that many of the demons began to run away from the epicenter of the battleground.

Xin Ja became curious about what type of monsters are fighting, so he quickly sneaked in and soon arrive inside a tall building that was cut in half.

As he drew closer he could feel that the area is scorching hot.

"This… this is no ordinary flame…" he muttered as he stealthily drew closer and began scaling the broken stairs.

As he arrived at the top, he carefully peek his head out and shifted his gaze to the direction where the energy ripple is coming from.

Suddenly, he ducks as a large piece of debris came crashing towards his location.

Wham!!!

The building he was hiding in was immediately destroyed sending him flying in the air.

He could not help but almost want to curse out as he just wanted to look. He would not even join the battle, why would these powerful beings mind him?

While in the air, he carefully looks at the battling figures and saw two shadows.

Before landing on the ground, he could already see what those shadows are.

One belongs to a creature that looks like a bulky man with dark red skin. That figure has two long teeth protruding from his jaw. He looks like a barbarian and carries a heavy ax.

While the other one is a young woman with a thin blade covered with fire.

Every time their weapon meets fire and energy ripples would spread all over the place.

The exchange between them is really horrifying that it almost made Xin Ja want to run.

Thud!!!

He hit the ground and was sent to a wall… then…

Bang!

The debris that sent him flying flattened Xin Ja on the wall.

Feeling his body aching a bit, Xin Ja exerted his strength and pushes the debris out of his way.

If he is a normal awakened, he would have already been flattened into a paste. But he is a Ki Master, he can use his Ki to protect his body plus, his physique is as strong as his cultivation level.

After pushing the rubble in front of him, he glares at the two figures.

Suddenly, he discovered that not too far from the battle, there are fallen individuals. Many are red-skinned demons while some are awakened.

When Xin Ja saw those who died, he could already tell that this is actually an ambush.

These demons have ambushed this group but did not expect that the group actually has a very powerful awakened amongst them.

So the mutual destruction happened.

Xin Ja could not help but admire the strong woman and he could tell that this woman is actually a C-rank awakened with a fire affinity.

He has heard of such awakened beings and knew that these types of C-rank awakened, which also awakened an elemental power, are considered geniuses.

The reason for this is because… he learned from the union library that these people actually understood a law that governs the elements. And once one could comprehend such law while reaching the C-rank, one could open up an elemental ability.

And since this woman has such powerful fire ability, Xin Ja could only admire her.

But of course, he knew another reason… and that is… this girl might be a Shen proficient with fire element before coming to this side of the world.
