The Geared Immortal

Chapter 728

(Unedited)

…

Thin wires made of unknown materials is actually spread through this part of the forest like spider webs. Those who mistake them for a mere spider web would sure be mistaken and would suffer disastrous consequences.

When Shin Jiao was running away from the two, he scattered a few of those things in this area, and after a few while they now look like spider webs covering the trees and the shrubs.

Shin Jiao is ahead of the two and when he passes through the shrubs, he dare not touch the spider webs. However, those two that are chasing after him feels differently, they are more anxious in catching their prey.

Plus they are partly underestimating Shin Jiao at this time. Though they were astounded by his speed, they still did not consider him as their opponent.

As the two passes through the shrubs with those spider webs and while Geland Mills wields the fire spear in his hand and is about to throw it to Shin Jiao's back, he suddenly discovers that he lost his sensation on one of his legs and one of his arms.

Then as he turns around he saw the demonized elf stopping.

However, as soon as the two stopped from their momentum, Geland Mills found himself tumbling on the ground. Meanwhile, the High Elf with the demon suit is on the ground with parts of his body strewn all over the place.

Arrgghh!!!

The two cried in pain as they found themselves unable to comprehend what just happened.

The accidentally released fire spear went through the forest and destroyed the trees in its wake.

When Shin Jiao saw the devastation that a single fire spear did, his heart skipped a beat. A lord is truly powerful that it could even do such damage even though it was just released hastily.

He could help but feel shivers running down his spine upon thinking about it hitting his body.

"What did you do?" shouted Geland Mills as he looks at the figure of Shin Jiao walking towards him.

Though he is a powerful lord, yet this young man was able to use a trap to sever his left hand and one of his legs. Geland Mills could not help but feel fear towards the young man. However, as a lord, he could not show it in his face. He has to think of a plan on how to defeat this young man or else he would be screwed.

"Your treachery is already known, you don't have to think of a way to escape this." Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.

Then before Geland Mills could react, Shin Jiao suddenly brandishes his black katana.

As the blade of the sword nears Geland Mills' neck, Shin Jiao saw a light-blocking the sword. Then this is followed by a strong force holding down his body.

As usual, Shin Jiao's quick reaction and use of his psychokinesis blocked the domain. But it still made him froze, suddenly he felt a huge wave of energy coming towards his body.

Bam!

Before he knew it, he was hit by powerful energy and was sent flying back.

Bang!

Shin Jiao hit a tree and spew a mouthful of a mixture of red and golden blood.

"Shit…" he muttered as his eyes shifted to Geland Mills who suddenly floated in the air.

"How dare a maggot as you look down on me?" Geland Mills roared.

Then he suddenly charges towards Shin Jiao.

Bam! Crash!

Geland Mills' fist hit the tree behind Shin Jiao who suddenly dodge and rolled to the ground. The simple attack destroyed the tree into bits and pieces even those behind it were also in the rubble.

Shin Jiao was a bit perplexed with the situation right now.

While dodging he suddenly swung his black katana which almost reached Geland Mills' neck.

The black katana was able to break his energy field. This one means that the black sword is not a normal weapon.

He recalled that the blacksmith shop sells unique weaponry and even the high lord was able to get two holy artifacts from it which made his power rise up by leaps and bounds. So the sword from this young man should be a divine weapon, right?

Thinking up to this point, Geland Mills suddenly desires to get his hand on Shin Jiao's sword.

And so with that in mind, he began attacking Shin Jiao with the aim to disarm or even kill him. He did not care about the plan to capture the young man anymore, all he wanted is the divine weapon. In his mind, after this fight, he would just escape somewhere and live according to his own strength.

Plus with the divine weapon on hand, he knows that he would be able to stand toe to toe with those haughty high lords.

While thinking to this point. His attacks intensified making Shin Jiao face difficulty as he tries to counter or dodge the relentless attacks from Geland Mills.

"This would not do. I have to kill this guy by any means necessary…" Shin Jiao thought as he suddenly waves his hand while dodging the strike from Geland Mills.

But he was not successful in dodging as the hand of Geland Mills suddenly shifted and turn into a claw as it flew towards Shin Jiao's neck.

However, how could Shin Jiao let himself be captured?

Without hesitation, he suddenly ducks down and then with a twist of his body was able to dodge the claw. However, the force of such an attack sent Shin Jiao once again tumbling to the ground in a sorry manner.

His figure was sent to the bushes where there are many strands of spider webs.

When Geland Mills saw this, he immediately flew to where Shin Jiao landed and then with a palm strike blew the shrubs away.

What he saw next made him dumbfounded.

This is because the figure of his opponent is not there anymore, and this made him so furious. He did not believe that a mere ant could escape his grasp.

As soon as he turns his head to the side, he saw a shadow running past the trees.

"Trying to escape!" he shouted as he suddenly flew towards the direction of the shadows.

As soon as he passes by the trees, he suddenly heard a light clicking sound which made him stop on his track. He stopped as quickly as possible because he did not want to be shredded like what happened last time.

Even with the power and physique of a lord's, he was still wounded severely by that young man. So how could he be so careless as to just charge over?

Geland Mills stopped and carefully spreads his domain in the surroundings. As soon as he did that, he suddenly saw a few strange objects sticking on the trees and on the boulders.

Before he could squint his eyes in confusion, his eyes were suddenly covered with a high-intensity light which made him subconsciously closes them.

But before he could do anything…

Ka-Boom! Rumble! Rumble!

A series of explosions blasted the area where he is in the center. All Geland Mills could see was white light as he feels his body being shred asunder.

Who would have known that a mere trap from a level 74 young man would destroy his physical body? It was behind his comprehension at this time as everything turned dark and his consciousness faded away.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand is panting as he leans on a tree. His energy reserve is low and his body is riddled with wounds all over.

Although he was able to dodge those strikes from his powerful enemy, the energy from those simple attacks still got him both externally and internally. So right now, he needs to rest first and recover before continuing to his next move.

Kzzt!!!

'Master Si Ji, what happened?' from his ears the worried voice of Ryujin Osmond was heard.

"Everything is fine… I… I was able to set a trap and killed Geland Mills the traitor. You could deal with him as you wanted." Shin Jiao said as he took out some pills from his ring.

'Okay, you should return now. I will try to recall the army…' Ryujin said on the other line.

"Okay… but the array breaking team is already in trouble. Hopefully, those lords are able to hold on just for a bit." Shin Jiao said with a frown then takes the pills in his hand.

He supported himself from the ground and went toward the corpse of the high elf. He knew that the high elf is not yet dead but is barely holding on to his life. This is because the spider web trap he spread has the ability to cauterize the wounds. This is the reason why even though the parts of the body of the high elf and Geland was severed, there is not much golden blood was strewn on the ground.

As Shin Jiao walks he forcefully takes the mask on the high elf and the whole demon suit came off. Then he waves his hand and captures the head of the high elf.

Those he has captured were tortured mentally; hence he would do that same to this high elf before releasing him.

Shin Jiao did not linger to this place as he proceeds with his next target. Though he wanted to study the demon mask, his assignment comes first. He ran as fast as he could to return to the place where he left the others.

Shin Jiao found a vantage point where he could see everything that is happening below. And from that point, he could see that the fighting between the suited high elves and the humans are still ongoing. But on the ground, he could already see a few fallen humans and some high elves.

"Those three are very strong…" Shin Jiao muttered.

However, he discovers that the two array experts are already missing and this made him frown for a bit.
