The Geared Immortal

Chapter 462

/*unedited*/

The room was immediately silent as a man holding a silver sword has extended his arm and stabbed his sword at the back of an old man. However, it seems like the old man has eyes on his back as he was able to dodge the sharp blade.

The academy headmaster was able to dodge the critical attack but was still stabbed on the side of his stomach.

"Headmaster!" shouted the teachers who were surprised by the act of one of their faculty members.

Peng!!!

The nearest teacher acted fast and immediately sent that person who sneaked attacked the headmaster flying with one punch.

"How dare you attack the headmaster! I will kill you!" shouted that teacher as he rushed towards the person.

"Che! You all are going to die… We will make sure that everyone who supports that coward king would fall!" shouted the teacher as he brandishes his sword and swing towards the charging man.

Clang!!!

A loud sound reverberates throughout the room as two strong forces collide.

Both took 3 steps backward as their strength seems to be on equal terms. However, the traitorous teacher smirked as he suddenly took out a small bag from his robe.

When he was about to throw it, his hand was suddenly pierced by a flying dagger and was pinned to the wall. Then a woman stood in front of him and didn't hesitate to run the sharp blade of the dagger on his neck.

With another quick move, she grabs the pouch and walked towards the headmaster.

These quick movements astonished the teachers inside the room. And only one woman can do such fast movement in the academy, or rather in the whole city. It was their vice headmistress, Cai'Lin Yue.

Cai'Lin Yue has wind affinity and is very proficient in manipulating wind magic. She was able to comprehend higher level wind spells when she was still in her teenage years which gained her the name wind fairy.

Her name was legendary in the academy and when she came back from the capital after working as an instructor for the court ladies working as guards for the queen and princess, she was immediately hired as a teacher in the academy.

After a few years of excellent service, she was able to move up to the ranks and became the vice headmistress of the Xilu academy.

All of the teachers in this academy truly respected her and her strength. Not only is she beautiful she is also strong. However, no man dared to approach her because of her icy temperament.

"Vice headmistress, how is the situation outside?" asked the headmaster as he sat back down inside the room.

"I was able to take care of the traitors… the academy's protection array is also stable." She said as she walks towards the headmaster's table and takes out a few pill bottles and bandages under the table drawer.

"Old man, you should not be working too much. Look at your condition. You should rest inside and let us younger people do the work… Sigh, with your advanced age, how can you still be this willful?"

Hearing her words, all the teachers chuckled. They knew that only their vice headmistress can treat the old man like this. The two are like father and child. This is because the headmaster has truly treated Cai'Lin Yue like his own daughter.

As a father who has 3 sons, he wanted Cai'Lin Yue to be his daughter-in-law. But who would have known that none of his children dared to approach her? So instead he just treated the woman as his daughter and his old wife truly like her.

"Ai, how can this little girl treat this old man like this… look at me, I'm in pain and was stabbed from the back."

"Sheesh, don't be a cry baby. This is just a flesh wound. With your cultivation level, you can heal this in an hour."

"Alright, alright… treat this old man's wound already."

The two bickered while the headmaster is being treated while the teacher one by one went out and did their best to protect and maintain the barrier. They would act their plan to attack after the headmaster is already strong enough to go.

However, outside the academies, the city is already in chaos.

…

When Shin Jiao arrives in front of the gate, he can see a couple of people not wearing a guard's uniform standing in front of the gate and is harassing some people on the side. There are some who are already taking their liberties to the women whom they have caught.

Seeing this scene, Shin Jiao could not help but feel anger.

He just came back from the earth where peace and order is a norm and these kinds of scene seldom happen. Although in his time as a soldier he has seen something like this in third world countries and countries at war, he still could not stomach such a thing.

He took out his sniper rifle and from atop the tree took a position to snipe a target.

On his star reticle, he can see a man busily humping at the side of the road while the woman under him squirms as she tried to fight back. On the side, some men are looking with lewd eyes as they felt excited.

Gritting his teeth, he didn't hesitate to also mark the three other people on the side of that guy.

With a quick pull of the trigger and reloading, he fires four shots successively.

Meanwhile, the men who are busy assaulting the poor woman did not even feel the slight killing intent. However, a person sitting on the side was able to feel it. He lifted his head and look at the forest at the side of the road.

What he saw are four silver flashes. He immediately stood up, but he noticed the three men on the side raping one of the women they have caught fell to the ground with blasted heads.

Yii!!!

A shrill cry echoed throughout the surrounding as the woman saw the man assaulting her lost his head. She didn't expect that her nightmare would suddenly stop and then she saw the bloody scene. She was just the daughter of a merchant who wanted to enter the city. Unexpectedly she would lose her family and would be raped by these beasts.

Upon escaping this and in panic, she just curled herself up in the corner and wept. The traumatic experience she just had will be forever etched in her mind.

Meanwhile, the man who noticed this immediately ran towards the gate to warn his companions. However, he just took a few steps when he found himself flying in the air. It was like he was hit by a powerful force from behind.

When he landed, he immediately felt a severe pang of pain in his stomach. When he looks down, his eyes are filled with terror. This is because a large portion of his stomach is missing. He could not even cry out loud as he felt his consciousness and strength slowly fading.

Shin Jiao jumps down from the tree and quickly dashed towards the city gate. He saw that all of the people guarding the city gate are all dead. On the side, he can see many people that were killed by these people.

"It seems that the situation inside the city was worse than I thought." He thought as he noticed that some of the people who were killed were the soldiers guarding the gate.

"I hope that the portal was not destroyed. It would be a pain to rebuild the whole structure itself." He thought as he scanned the whole are.

Besides the shivering woman on the side, it seems that everyone is already dead. Shin Jiao also found some people loitering inside the huge gate. He didn't waste his time and just took the leather bag which seems to contain a lot of spatial tools. He scanned the bad and took out a small pouch and a silver ring. He then turns to the woman and put the ring inside the pouch and threw it to the woman.

"Go, leave… this place is not safe for you anymore." Shin Jiao said as he continues walking.

The woman looks at Shin Jiao and then to the road. Her face is now filled with tears which have now mixed with the dust coupled with her tattered clothes which barely covers her snow-white skin making her look like a beggar on the streets.

It only took her a couple of seconds before deciding to stand up and follow behind Shin Jiao. Her legs are still wobbly and she can feel the pain in her thigh as the man who raped her was very abusive. Although she was at the spirit refining realm, her body was unable to handle such a beating from those with higher cultivation than hers.

Sensing the woman following him, Shin Jiao didn't stop but asked.

"Why follow me, woman? Just get out of this city."

"Ma… Master, thank you for saving me… But… but I… I will not live if I were to escape alone… *sob… I can only follow you. I am sorry… Please let me just follow behind… master…" she said in-between sobbing.

Shin Jiao could not help but feel pity for her, but what can he do? He didn't know how to console her and he could not relate to her trauma. So he just let her follow him, he is not some cold person who would chase someone away. It was her choice anyway.

When he reached the huge gate, Shin Jiao just stop and then suddenly lifted his feet.

Boom!!!
