The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1324

…

Xin Ja carefully prepared his stuff and all the things he needed to use before the battle. He already has decided what he wanted to do. Although escaping is an option, it would not be good if he would be running away from authorities.

So his only option is to win this gladiator battle.

While thinking of his next step he could not help but feel worried about his friend Go Manjong.

"I need to get rid of that caretaker Yu is I want Go Manjong to be safe…" he thought as a decision came to his mind.

He has seen caretaker Yu's figure amongst the crowd. And from the way he looks at that time, he knew that the fellow suffered some setbacks in betting.

"Hehe… I may not be able to control it, but today, you're going to lose everything you have along with your life…" Xin Ja showed a glint of ruthlessness in his calm eyes.

Soon, the audience outside began to erupt in a cacophony of cheers. He knew that the final battle is already coming.

Then suddenly, a gasp could be heard outside and a gloomy atmosphere envelop the entire gladiator pen.

This is because… right outside in the arena, there stood three beasts in chains.

The chain on the beasts is to ensure that they could not be able to attack the audience, but it is also long enough for them to rampage in the arena.

"We are going to die… This is bullshit! I did not sign up for this!" shouted one of the gladiators in anger.

He glared at one of the staff in the corner and suddenly walked towards that staff member.

His large build and imposing aura should scare off the scrawny-looking staff member. However, it did not go as he planned.

That staff member just looks at the man nonchalantly and just continues checking stuff on his list.

"I will not participate in this death match… Tell that to your boss!" the large man said with a grim expression.

The staff member looks at the man and then showed a sneer on his face.

"You are already signed, you have no choice on this anymore." The staff member said with a calm tone.

"Haha! Who would stop me? You?" the man directly walk towards the exit.

But before he could reach the exit a powerful hand grabbed him and then flung him to a wall.

Bam!!!

The man got disoriented and when he came to himself, that staff member is already standing in front of him.

"A waste like you wanted to pretend to be strong? You are nothing but the plaything of the strong ones… Be obedient and die for our entertainment…" the staff member sneered as he suddenly kicks the guy back to the wall.

This time, the guy stopped moving clearly the power of that strike is enough to kill the big man.

"Any other opinion?" the staff member asked with a sneer.

Everyone turned silent and lowered their heads. They know that they could not escape this fate anymore. They know that they would surely die today.

Suddenly, the stadium began to erupt in a clamor as the audience seems to be unable to wait anymore.

"Everyone prepare!" shouted that staff member.

Soon, Xin Ja and the rest were taken back to the arena. They all stood in the middle being wary as they watch the three closed dark cages around them.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Suddenly they heard a mechanism and one of the cages began to move as it slowly opens. It did not take long before the cage finally opened and a pair of serpent-like eyes glowed within the darkness.

Then slithering sound could be heard as a huge head peaked out of the dark cage. The dragon head Wirm is like a snake with the head of a dragon.

As it slowly emerges from the cage, the audience immediately erupted in excitement.

The wirm looks at the gladiators in the middle and slithers to the side slowly circling the group.

It seems that it could tell that the gladiators are paper tigers.

Even though they look fierce, it knew that they are only at the 1st level. So it did not even put any of them in its eyes as it casually surrounds the group.

However, it did not attack yet because it could sense danger within the group. It is a part of its natural instinct to sense danger so it did not make its move yet.

But no matter how hard it tries, it could not see which of them would pose danger to it. It does not make sense hence the creature began to hesitate.

"What is happening? This wirm looks big and at the 2nd level, but it does not have that wild instinct… Is this just for show?" shouted one of the audience.

This was seconded by another and then the audience began to protest.

Suddenly, someone threw something at the wirm which startled it and it released a fist-size flame from its mouth.

Boom!!!

The fireball erupted but the audience was not hurt. The reason for this is because of the light barrier which suddenly appears.

The explosion startled the wirm further making it agitated as it coiled itself and then glared at its surroundings.

When Xin Ja saw this a smile crept on his face.

"Let's use energy convergence and will control…" he muttered as he takes out two talisman papers secretly.

He then activated it without hesitation. Energy convergence is a talisman that gathers energy thus producing a powerful Ki wave, while the will control would make one able to control anything without using Ki.

As he activates the two talismans, one stayed on his palm while the other began to fly among the gladiators.

The wirm who is already on alert immediately notice the energy gathering and its large figure quickly followed that gladiator.

Suddenly, the power convergence transferred to another as if that person is going to attack.

Without hesitation, the wirm spew a fireball which flew towards a gladiator.

Boom!!!

The gladiator was quick on his feet and escaped that strike from the wirm. But the powerful explosion sent that gladiator flying and landed in a sorry manner on the sand.

Then another energy fluctuation began to coalesce making the wirm look in another direction.

Boom!!!

It releases another fireball and that gladiator almost lost his life. He suffered some minor burns but he is still fine.

The wirm began looking at the gladiators warily and releases one fireball after another. When it felt that it could not hit its target, it suddenly uses its tail to hit its target.

Bam!

An unlucky gladiator was not able to dodge but instead was hit on the chest.

The strong impact alone made the man's chest cave in, and before he landed on the ground, he has already died.

With the death of one of them, the gladiators suddenly panic. With reddened eyes, they suddenly charge at the wirm.

Among them is the figure of Xin Ja. Suddenly, the wirm looks at Xin Ja and then followed his figure.

When caretaker Yun saw this from the audience seat, his heart is already full of anticipation. He is sure that with the wirm on the trail of the young slave, that slave would surely be dead just like the others.

Xin Ja runs and attacks the tail. His strike seems to have angered the wirm as it lashes at him.

But his agile body was able to dodge.

The wirm seems to disregard the attack of the other gladiators and focus its eyes on Xin Ja.

Xin Ja's attacks cause it to feel pained, so how could it not get angry at the puny ant before it?

Suddenly, it inhaled a mouthful of air. Then it swept its long tail towards Xin Ja who seem to have been hit and flew in the air.

Then its eyes glowed in excitement as it suddenly released a basketball-sized fireball at the helpless figure of Xin Ja in the air.

The audience could tell that the unlucky guy would surely be dead for sure.

Those that bet on Xin Ja could not help but feel their hearts sink. They did not expect that the promising gladiator they bet on would end sooner than the rest.

The young miss is now glaring at Xin Ja wanting to tear him to shreds.

She hoped that Xin Ja would end up in the top ten before dying. But who would have known that not even half of the gladiators have fallen and he is already going to die?

"Damn it! What a waste of my attention…" she thought.

At this time, one of the old men sitting beside the Jo clan head suddenly frowned.

He could sense that something is wrong with the scene below him, but he could not pinpoint what it is. It is just his hunch that something is about to go wrong.

The wirm thus released its fireball and it flew at Xin Ja's figure that is in the air.

Suddenly, Xin Ja who seemed to be helpless twisted his body and dodges the fireball by a hair's breadth.

Then the fireball hits the barrier.

Crash!!!

Instead of blocking the fireball, the barrier actually broke apart.

And the fireball flew toward the audience.

A stunned audience froze on the spot as his eyes went wide in disbelief.

No one expected that the fireball would actually end up hitting a group and among that group… sits caretaker Yu.
