The Geared Immortal

Chapter 411

/*unedited*/

It was 4 am in the morning and the dawn is already about to arrive. A young man is standing in front of a group of people with his hands extended.

Then suddenly people began to fall to the ground as if they appear out of thin air in front of the young man. Their bodies are tied with a strong rope but some of them are already lifeless.

Shin Jiao caught the people who wanted to attack Marie Eleanor and Shin Jiao's homes. Those who fought back using dark magic were killed by him as it would affect a lot of people is not dealt with immediately. And those who didn't was just caught by him and bound unconscious.

When the group saw their comrades in that condition their eyes went wide in disbelief and then look at the young man in front of them in fear.

"As I warned them, the same thing I did to you… leave now or suffer my wrath." Shin Jiao warned the second time.

However, the leader of the group walked forward in front.

"���I am Budu Wang… I am the leader of the Fangs clan in this province. Since you have offended us, then we…"

"Wait… you got everything backward, right? I didn't offend you… you attacked us. We didn't even know you guys…" Shin Jiao interrupted.

"Hah! Insolent fool! Whether we started the attack, it doesn't matter… Once we target you, it would always be you offending us… Now I want you to die!" Budu Wang shouted while lifting his hand signaling his minions to attack.

'The Fangs' clan is a group of rogue cultivators which was formed all over the country. They are being led by a powerful group of martial artists calling themselves 'the head'. As they recruit cultivators and promise them power and riches, many have come to their fold and did many atrocious things to the public.

And since the government became aware of their movements, they were suppressed with the help of the other cultivator clan in China. However, 'the Fangs' clan offers a lot of resources to many cultivator clans that they can roam freely and still do many atrocious things that the government became helpless in controlling them.

The powerful cultivator clans on the other hand had an attitude of 'just watch and see' to this matter. Hence the influence of the group began to grow that they can even suppress many of the clans in a city or even the province.

Hence they became unruly to a degree.

So they are not afraid of Shin Jiao's threats and his so-called powers.

"We are the rulers of these lands and no one can threaten us, not a greenhorn like you," shouted Budu Wang as he too charges towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao didn't do that much as he just easily dodges every strike sent his way. With his absolute sense active he already can see the trajectory of each attack and dodge them easily.

After a few minutes of being besieged by the cultivators around him, Shin Jiao stood unmoved on his spot.

"Is this your so-called power? Trivial I think… I don't have much time now, so I want you all to sleep and wake up in hell." He said as he began to attack.

With quick moments, no one can even dodge as each target of his would lose consciousness on the spot.

Seeing this, the cultivators in the area began to feel fear in their hearts. They didn't know how Shin Jiao was able to do it, but he was able to knock down their companions easily with a single strike.

"You arrogant fool!" shouted Budu Wang as he suddenly charges towards Shin Jiao with a soft sword suddenly appearing in his hands after taking it from his belt.

Swoosh!!!

The sound of the fast sword flying through the air made everyone who can see the scene felt awe in their hearts.

Then Budu Wang began attacking Shin Jiao who is dodging each strike of his opponent. Budu Wang is confident in his cultivation and his skill. He is already at the peak of the core-forming realm, at the 8th cultivation level.

Two more and he can reach the realm of the masters and can be one of 'the heads' someday.

So facing Shin Jiao he has the confidence to defeat the young man in front of him.

However, his expectation is different from the truth. It has already taken him a few minutes but he was not able to even land a single blow on his opponent. And he is already feeling a bit tired after exerting his Qi as he covered the blade of the sword with it for a stronger destructive attack.

"Is that all?" Shin Jiao asked with a sneer.

He is playing along with the leader of the group to make the others drop their morale in the fight. This way, he can easily capture them all.

"You… you… Then taste my power!" suddenly Budu Wang drew a large amount of Qi from his body and imbued it in his sword.

He suddenly sent a cross-slice towards Shin Jiao and a blue flame blade flew towards Shin Jiao's direction.

"Ah… a combination of fire and wind magic slash… good technique… but… too slow." Shin Jiao commented as he suddenly vanished and appear behind Budu Wang.

Then the middle-aged master of the group found himself fainting after feeling a strong hit from the back of his head.

Seeing their master falling unconscious everyone immediately fled from the scene with all their might. But how could Shin Jiao let them escape? With his quick movements, he was able to capture everyone and began absorbing them inside his ring.

Since his ring is quite unique as it is able to absorb even living beings as long as they don't resist. Hence Shin Jiao was able to clear the area of any of his opponents in no time. However, the traces of fighting can still be seen making him heave a sigh of helplessness. He still needs to go home, so as not to worry the two women who are still asleep when he left.

After the nightly passionate lovemaking and the fight he just had, his body still felt invigorated. This is due to the level of his cultivation and his strength.

…

Shin Jiao's villa

The next day, Shin Jiao was the one to prepare the food and wash the dishes as the two women are still exhausted in bed.

After cooking he enters the room and found the two naked bodies sleeping soundly in bed.

"Sigh… this is something that's hard to resist." He muttered as he carefully laid the two in bed and covered their bodies with the blanket.

He then cleaned the scattered clothes on the floor and began bathing himself. He decided to not let the two women work early today. So he went to work early.

Upon arriving in the Company, he saw Park Jiyong with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. Then he saw whom he is talking to… it was Marie Eleanor.

With his hearing, he can hear what the two are talking about.

"Marie, I have looked for you for a long time. How can you do this to me?" Park Jiyong said.

"We already talked about this a while ago. I don't want to go back. I'm happy here."

"And I told you a while ago that I'm not here to ask you to go back but to explain why you didn't even call me. Am I nothing to you now?"

"Humph… as if you cared about me?"

"…"

Park Jiyong could not answer because he knew that he didn't show her his true feeling for her when their parents arranged them to be married.

In truth, he was love-struck by his first sight of her beauty. Plus upon learning how good she was in many things his love for her grew. And after she left and was never heard of again for a few months his heart became hurt and his mother decided for him to go with the group of young 2nd generation rich heirs on a trip to the US.

But then everything turned upside down and he had his adventure of a lifetime and met new friends making him almost forget about Marie.

And now, he just arrives today and saw Marie waiting in the lobby. Which made his heart once again long for her.

"I will say it again… I… I like you… I have liked you, ever since I first saw you." Park Jiyong confessed.

But then, suddenly a face enters his mind, Sergeant Kelly. But of course, he could not forget her parting words for him.

"I want you to be my good friend… thank you for everything." He felt like his heart was ripped open at that time.

But he still recovered as he focused on his work. And the new project with Shin Jiao.

However, today those same feeling is flooding his mind and heart that he felt confused and unfocused. He turns to look at Marie and he could not help but feel that he is nothing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Jiyong… but for me, you are just a good friend. Well, maybe before I had considered you as a prospective husband to be… but now… I don't know." Marie replied feeling a bit regretful.

She truly thinks that Park Jiyong would be a good partner. But still, they are too young to consider marriage right at this time, hence she wanted to wait.

Suddenly, the two were interrupted by the presence of Shin Jiao.

"Hey, you two seem to know each other… This is awesome no need for introduction."
