The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1335

…

Seven figures came rushing out of the Manor while several people chased after their tails. But as soon as those people began their chase, they fell from one trap after another, until they are unable to chase any further.

As Xin Ja threw and form one bone rune array after another, the guards chasing after them became embroiled in those arrays and were trapped.

According to his estimate, it would take those people more time to break those arrays before resuming their chase after them.

As they arrive outside the Manor, Xin Ja and the rest saw a frantic-looking maid waiting by the door.

"Miss Ao… It's a trap…" Xin Ja said as he suddenly drags Ao Meixi to the side.

As soon as he did, several Ki swords flew in the direction of Ao Meixi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion reverberates in the air as the ground was turned into dust spreading all over the place.

At this time, a thin-looking man appears behind the bushes by the wall of the exit of the Manor.

"When this maid servant said that you are a crafty fellow and a sharp one, I did not believe her… But it seems that what she has said was the truth…" the man calmly said as he strode out of his hiding spot.

When the man showed himself, the 5 guards with Xin Ja and Ao Meixi has already wielded their swords ready to fight the man to their deaths.

"Everyone… Stand down… You guys would just be wasting your lives… He is a…"

"Late-stage Ki-Master, we know Master Xin. But we still will protect the young miss and you with our lives…" the leader of the guards showed a sincere smile.

"Haha… Do you think they can escape? After I killed you ants, I would deal with your young miss appropriately… The young master did not want a tainted wife… Hence I am here to erase her and her clan… Hehe…" the man said with a sinister gaze.

"What? No! The young master said that… Urk…" before the young maid named Little Qing could finish her words… she is already in the hands of the man.

"You are a pretty little thing. I will not kill you, but will enjoy you later…" he said as he forces his Ki into her brain and made her faint.

After that, he carefully put the young maid to the side and then grinned as he looks at the group before him.

"Guys, I think it's better if we work together." Xin Ja said with a smile.

The five did not know what he meant by that but still nodded their heads as they quickly formed beside Xin Ja.

"You are a very strong opponent indeed. But you should know that in a battle, one should never take their eyes off their enemy no matter how weak their enemy is…" Xin Ja said as he suddenly throw a few array formation flags on the ground.

When the man saw this, he sneered as he did not do anything and just let Xin Ja do his thing.

He is far too confident of his personal strength that he treats everything that Xin Ja is doing as a mere last struggle of an ant before its death.

Xin Ja did not bother with the guy and quickly formed a few hand seals.

Then suddenly, before the man's eyes, he saw the scenery change. It was subtle and had no killing intent that's why he did not bother with it. However, when saw the changes in his surroundings, he was taken aback and before he could react it was already too late, the array is already activated.

"Do you think this puny array could trap me little ant?!" he shouted in anger as he glared at his surroundings.

Suddenly, a strong power emerges from his body, and without warning, everything around him became under his domain.

"Damn it! This guy has a domain!" shouted one of the guards on the side.

"He is a Ki-Master what would you expect?" said their leader.

But of course, everyone knows that not all Ki-Master have domains because such a skill is rare.

"I am the strongest assassin of Master Lei… My name is Viper. And that is the last name you will be hearing because it's time for your deaths…" Viper sneered as he suddenly erupts his domain and sends a powerful force outwards.

The whole dome around him suddenly showed cracking as everything crumbles into pieces.

"Hahaha… Do you think that a mere beguiling formation can defeat me?!" Viper shouted with a loud chuckle.

But then his expression sank as his surroundings suddenly turned into a sea of blood.

"What is this?" he growled while looking at his surroundings.

Suddenly, from below him, raises a red blood bony hand that suddenly clutches at the ankles of Viper.

"What is this trick? I will not fall for such a trick!" shouted Viper as he suddenly brandished his curved sword.

Tswing! Tswing!

Each attack of his turns everything into dust and rubbles.

But the bloody skeletons did not stop from coming out of the ground.

He began to run as fast as he could but realized that he is just going in circles.

"Damn it! How did that brat create this formation?" he shouted in exasperation.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja and the rest are watching this scene with astonishment.

"It seems that your Manor has some really good hidden array formations, young miss…" Xin Ja complimented.

When the rest heard such words they all gawked at Xin Ja in disbelief. They did not want to believe that such a thing is possible.

How could their Manor have such an array when it was just newly bought and the one who sold it even was scared to stay in such a play after buying it from another person?

Suddenly, realization dawned on them as it seems that there are truly hidden secrets in the manor.

But they have no time to feel happy about the situation when a very strong enemy is before them.

At this time, Xin Ja waves his hand and then gestured to the rest.

"Prepare to attack him with all your might… we can only defeat him if we work together."

With his command, the five guards and Ao Meixi threw everything they have and attack the figure inside the beguiling array.

The array is not that wide at only around 200 meters, so their attacks immediately covered the whole ground and reach the body of Viper who is still struggling in the middle.

After getting bombarded and hit by the attacks, his body immediately showed signs of getting heavily wounded.

"Do not stop attacking!" shouted Xin Ja as they already have the upper hand.

But then suddenly a strong domain erupted out of Viper's body which enveloped the area 20 meters around him.

A slight smirk appears on the mouth of Xin Ja.

"I may not be able to create domains yet, but this beguiling array is like one… You are already in the palm of my hand," he muttered.

After the bombardment of attacks, the domain of Viper weakens as he kneels on the ground. Suddenly, without warning, something pokes him from his back.

So when he looks down and saw the sharp edge of a blade, disbelief could be seen in Viper's eyes.

At this time, Xin Ja threw a long blade in the air. As it enters the array, he was immediately able to control it using the formation flag he threw to activate the array.

"It's time to die…" he muttered.

But before something could happen, he saw a number of guards appearing in the corner.

"Damn it!" he cursed but did not stop his action.

"Everyone, get out now! Run!" he shouted.

Upon hearing this, the 5 men showed hesitation, but seeing his glare they quickly grab the arms of Ao Meixi and drag her with them as they run to the gate.

As the blade was about to land on Viper's neck, he tilted his body forcefully and dodges the attack by a hair's breadth.

He then waves his hand and punches the blade.

The blade flew out of the array but Xin Ja controlled its path. Those guards that are rushing out from the corner did not expect to see the flying blade directly heading toward them.

Without hesitation, they quickly blocked the spinning blade with all their might.

Some of them flew out like a rag dolls, while others tried to resist even after their weapons broke.

That blade was punched by a powerful Ki-Master after all.

Xin Ja did not have time to deal with the killing blow as he decide to leave.

Running out of the Manor, he soon saw a rushing carriage with a familiar face inside of it.

"Master Xin, get inside!" shouted Master Yo as he extended his hand out of the carriage.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to jump and catch that hand that drags him inside.

Then the carriage sped away into the forest path.

Meanwhile, inside the array, powerful energy is broiling then it suddenly erupted in the air which sweeps everything in its path for about 500 meters.

After that powerful energy erupted, an exhausted Viper began panting as his unkempt figure staggered out of the ruins.

"I will kill that brat if it's the last thing I would do!" he shouted in anger.
