The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1327

…

Because of the characteristic of his enemy, Xin Ja knew that it would be impossible for him to hurt it without exposing his ability to use runes. And once that is exposed, then those people outside would become wary of him, and then they would change something in the rules.

So he could only use such a method as to combine a couple of exploding rune talismans coupled with a done rune which generates a compression array that would compress the explosion several folds until it would produce a more powerful blast.

Xin Ja has already done such a thing before so the use of runes to compress the Ki energy and release it at one time is not new.

With the explosion from within the body of the beast, its huge body was torn into sheaves of flesh and blood.

Those that were not prepared and were caught off guard were thrown to the side of the coliseum. Some unlucky ones were even skewered by the protruding spikes at the side of the coliseum walls.

Right at this moment, Xin Ja slowly lifted his head and then looks at the devastation caused by the explosion.

After seeing the result a slight smile appears on his face and then he showed a fearful expression as his hand trembled.

"Those gladiators exploded themselves? How could they do that?" he asked in a trembling tone.

The audience who heard this turns their gaze at the platform where the owner of the coliseum is sitting. From there, they could see that owner in a deep frown.

One of his eyebrows is twitching as he watches the bloody scene below.

He suddenly stood up and then shouted in anger.

"Release the last beast and let it kill these slave bastards!"

With that, the last door opens and a giant slicker crawled outside of its cage. The giant slicker looks like a giant lizard with several yellow spots on its back and its whole body are covered with black scales.

The yellow spots are emitting small bolts of lightning which dance from its back and produce arcs making it looks like lightning fins.

Its imposing figure has already sent chills running down the spine of the remaining gladiators in the area.

This time, the audience became excited upon seeing the giant lizard's face against the gladiators. This time, they knew that these gladiators would surely die.

Out of all the 2nd level beasts, the slicker is the most dangerous. Even a 5th-level Ki-fighter would not want to fight it head-on.

The reason for this is its ability to produce lightning strikes which can paralyze its targets.

By this time, Xin Ja knew that the most dangerous enemy has already appeared. He could only take this chance to secretly attack it from below. If not, then he could not help but expose his ability to use runes and talismans.

The slicker did not attack immediately but instead slithers its long fork tongue in the air and then turned toward those that have already died.

It slowly moves towards those that died and then gobbled them one by one. It would sometimes chew which creates a crunching sound as blood would splatter out of its huge mouth.

This scene has sent shivers running down the spine of each and every person in the arena.

Even Xin Ja felt a tingling feeling on his skull while looking at that thing eating those fresh corpses like its eating watermelon.

"What should we do now? We cannot attack that thing without getting paralyzed by its strange ability…" Big Rock who has stood beside Xin Ja asked.

"I have a plan… But we might have to use the sand in this arena to blind that thing… one on both sides…"Xin Ja said.

"But if we do that, it would rampage and shoot lightning bolts everywhere…"

"Once it is blinded, go to that corner and then lay flat on the ground…" Xin Ja pointed at the spiked wall.

Big Rock frowned but did not say anything anymore.

Xin Ja began to gather a bag of sand and then handed one to Big Rock. As the two positioned themselves on both sides, the audience frowns at what they were thinking.

"Those two are juts fools who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth… Do they think that sand could hurt that thing? Hahaha… Stupid fools!..." an old man chuckled in amusement.

"Hehe… They are ignorant as they seem to have not encountered such a beast before…" another one commented.

"Although those two have performed well today, I think this would be their end… Hahaha…" another one chuckled.

In the middle of those commenting around them, the middle-aged man who is the head of the Jo clan wears a frown on his face while watching the battle before him.

Beside him, his daughter showed a hint of interest as she watches the two prepare to launch an attack on the beast.

Suddenly, the beast turns its head towards the middle at it saw another dead body. It did not even bother the gladiators around it.

But the gladiators did not stay idle either. There are those that are brave enough to charge at the creature and attack it head-on.

But these people would end up being stunned and would begin to convulse with foams coming out of their mouths.

Those scenes were truly amusing making the audience cheer.

Suddenly, as the beast charge at the lying corpse in the middle of Xin Ja and Big Rock, the two nod, and with a tacit understanding, they simultaneously throw the bag of sand in their hands.

Though it looks harmless, Xin Ja has already secretly thrown his dagger along with his bag of sand.

The slicker released its bolt of lightning and hits the two bags. But because of this, the sand inside of it burst into the air and it enters the eyes of the slicker.

In the meantime, the dagger following behind that bag that Xin Ja has thrown directly inserted itself in the left eye of the beast.

Roar!!!

It immediately roared in pain as its body suddenly emits a blinding flash of glowing light.

By this time Big Rock has already moved and darted towards the corner as he slides down to lay prone on the ground while praying not to get hit by the lightning strikes.

Those that were quick-witted followed suit and did as he did. Those that were slow were caught off-guard and were bombarded with several lightning bolts torching their skin black.

As the beast rampaged on the arena with its eyes punctured, the blinding flashing light made the audience unable to see what is happening below.

At this time, the figure of Xin Ja has already vanished.

Unknown to them, he is already lying on the ground in a planned location.

When the body of the slicker jumps right at his location with him below it, he did not hesitate to extend his hand to stab at its stomach.

Puchi!!!

The sword blade was inserted into the beast's stomach. As it moved forward the blade created a long gash making its inner organs fall on the ground turning the white sand crimson red.

Roar!!!

The slicker roared painfully as it felts extreme pain coming from under its body.

It suddenly tried to cover its body with an electric spark but that was its mistake.

As the electric spark surges towards its head, the hilt of the dagger conducted electricity and the lightning bolt directly fries the slicker's own brain.

In that instant, it froze on the ground and then suddenly fell.

Big Rock saw everything and was truly amazed at how Xin Ja planned everything. He was thoroughly convinced that he has met a true expert.

This time, he did not hesitate to quickly charge up and then grabs his sword and then covered it with Ki. In one swing using all of his strength, he cleaves the neck of the slicker in half.

The coliseum is now in silence as five gladiators stood weakly in the middle while cheering loudly.

Meanwhile, unknown to them, a figure has already crawled out of the arena through the cage of the beasts that was left open due to the shout of the patriarch of the Jo clan.

As he crawled through the passages, Xin Ja soon found himself standing outside the arena he has already taken out new clothes from his ring as he began walking towards the market area.

He soon came across a few stores but did not buy anything from them as he just walk past through. Soon, he arrives near the entrance of the town and stopped in his tracks.

He began thinking of what to do next and why he has suddenly changed his mind.

He realized then that his life would not be his once he stayed in the arena. He has seen the look in Big Rock's eyes. He knew that the man may be amicable and good to him, but in the end, he is a gladiator. He lives for the thrill and the bloodshed which is not his forte.

And so he decided to escape that place.

As he stood by the intersection of the road, he suddenly noticed a destitute-looking young man.

At the same time, that young man lifted his eyes and noticed Xin Ja.
