The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1285

…

Seeing the confident 3rd elder, the expression of Rou Chenchen turned cold and she did not know what to say or do anymore. In fact, right now she is already panicking.

She has already sent a message to the elders of the alchemist association in a wish for their help.

While the 3rd elder of the Rou clan is showing condescension and arrogance, Xin Ja's expression has already turned cold.

He has been gritting his teeth while listening to that elder especially when he said that his girlfriend has already a fiancée.

How dare they take her away from him?

If he did not do anything in here, then he would be a coward.

"I have been holding it in since you guys are relatives of Chenchen… But this is another story. If she wanted to get married to that guy, then I will not say anything. But if you guys force her, then I could say sorry… I will not stand by and let that happen." Xin Ja said with a stern look.

The 3rd elder smirks and then suddenly waves his hand.

Upon doing so, several small blades appear from behind his back controlled by his Ki.

"Mid-level Ki adept…" Xin Ja was a bit surprised to see that the elder is actually this strong.

A mid-level Ki adept is someone between the 14th level and the 17th level.

They already have the ability to materialize their Ki or use Ki control.

The blades flew in Xin Ja's direction.

"Dancing feathers!" the 3rd elder shouted as he attacked.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja takes out his short sword and began deflecting the flying blades.

The 3rd elder of the Rou clan is a couple of levels above Xin Ja and has a stronger control of his Ki, but Xin Ja is still able to follow the trajectory of the elder's blades using his Absolute Sense.

However, Xin Ja could not feel the pressure as the blades assaulted him non-stop.

Rou Chenchen now showed worry in her eyes as she watches this scene before her.

Suddenly, a few people appear before her.

Xin Ja saw this and quickly moved to stop them while ignoring the blades.

The 3rd elder sneered and then directly controlled the blade to pierce through his back.

"Nooo!!! Stop!!!" Rou Chenchen cried as she could clearly see the flying blades.

But how could the 3rd elder of the clan not grab this opportunity to get rid of the lad? If the lad existed then their clan would have some problems. But if he dies, Rou Chenchen would be free and then they can have a connection with the 6th prince and the Zaoi clan.

"I agree! Just… just don't kill him! I agree to your demands!" suddenly she pleaded.

The heart of Xin Ja was suddenly gripped with pain as he did not expect to hear such words from her.

He lifted his gaze and a determined expression appears on his face.

"Trust me…" he said with a cold look.

Rou Chenchen was taken aback then bit her lips.

The blades hovered near Xin Ja's back.

But before Rou Chenchen could say anything, the 3rd elder maliciously stabbed them.

Clank!!!

The 3rd elder showed a wide grin on his face as he knew that with this move, that wild brat of Xin Jong will now be dead.

But his face changed when he realized something.

The weird sound…

Then his eyes landed on the unscathed young man looking at him.

On Xin Ja's hand is a cold piece of metal.

Bang!!! Bang!!!

The 3rd elder did not have time to react when suddenly he felt something entering his chest. Then before he knew it something has hit his forehead.

His vision turned upside-down before they faded never to return again.

"What?! What was that?! The… The 3rd elder… The 3rd elder is dead!" cried one of the people from the Rou clan.

Rou Chenchen clenches her fist as she attacked the two people holding her down.

She did not hesitate to run and hug Xin Ja.

Before those two people could chase after her, Xuanlong has already jumped and attacked them.

"No!!! Father!" cried Rou Jin as he held the 3rd elder in his arms.

"You… you killed my father! How… how dare you kill my father?! Everyone, kill him!" shouted Rou Jin as his eyes turned red in rage.

For him, his father is his pillar of support… someone whom he respected and idolizes since young. His father is the person that he respected the most.

And now that the person he respects is now dead, his sanity also follows.

All he wanted to do now is to kill that adulterous couple at all costs.

After his command, the remaining guards of the Rou clan charge right at Xin Ja. Xuanlong began to fight them along with Xin Ja and Rou Chenchen.

But the three of them are overwhelmed by the number of their enemies.

…

At this time, inside the alchemist association, at the association's head office

The 6th prince, Han Xulong is currently talking to the head of the association and the elders.

The alchemist association group had sensed that something is wrong as they noticed that the prince seems to be here to waste their time.

The 6th prince is the son of the Zaoi clan Zaoi Ximen.

"I am not going to delay your time any longer and tell you the real reason why we are here…" Zaoi Ximen suddenly said while showing a gentle smile.

"I want to marry… Miss Rou Chenchen… her family has already agreed to my proposal and I am here to take her home."

When the elders and the association head heard this, they all showed a deep frown on their faces. How could such an impertinent youth say such a thing?

Didn't he know that the woman he is asking to marry is a treasure of the kingdom?

The king has already granted her the freedom to choose whom she wanted to marry. They then look at the 6th prince for not understanding this matter.

"Is this the wish of the king?" the association head asked the 6th prince.

"Hahaha… My father will agree to this, I promise you that."

The association head raised his brow and frowned.

In fact, he did not want to agree even if the king does…

He has already treated the young woman as his granddaughter and new how the Rou clan treats her.

In fact, there is a certain young man that she is in relation to that he knew of.

And there is no way that Rou Chenchen would agree to be married to another.

"I suggest the 6th prince get the king's permission about this before asking us here…" the association head said.

The room became silent but the expression of the 6th prince was calm.

Suddenly…

Bang!!!

They all heard a light sound coming from outside the association.

Everyone in the room was startled.

The expression of the association head became gloomy then glared at the 6th prince.

"I suggest that no one makes a move…" the 6th prince said with a smile.

Then the door opened and a Ki master stood while expanding his aura suppressing the elders and the association head inside the room.

"What is the meaning of this?!" shouted an elder as he too expanded his aura.

This time, the 6th prince was taken aback as he did not expect that inside the room there is actually a Ki master.

Everyone kept their silence as a deadly silence enveloped the room.

"We respect the 6th prince, but you are trying to oppress us… This action will not be escaping the king's attention…" the association head warned.

The 6th prince showed a faint smile and then nodded his head to the Ki master.

The Ki master showed a faint smile and also nodded his head. The signal of the two made everyone in the room feel a bit stifled and worried.

They knew that something must have happened. So everyone is now worried for Rou Chenchen.

The association head stood up and then walks to the door.

The Ki master did not stop him and let him out.

Without hesitation, the rest of the elders walk out of the room leaving the 3 people.

"My prince… do you think our plan succeeded? That brat would surely have died, right?" young master Zaoi Ximen asked with a wide smile.

"Haha… Of course…. He might be a loach outside but in the capital city, he is nothing. Let's see how 4th brother protects that guy now…"

"Hahaha… If that guy is dead, then Miss Rou will be mine… Thank you… Thank you my liege…"

The two laughed evilly.

The 6th prince then looks at the window outside. He suddenly recalled what had happened in the past when he had an encounter with that bastard Xin Ja.

He could not believe that he was actually defeated by a mere 1st-level Ki fighter. At that time he was thoroughly humiliated and so he wanted revenge. But every time he would encounter that brat, he would always fail.

And so it became a disgrace on his part which he had kept for a long time.

But now he knew that he would be able to defeat that brat. This time, he would pay him back for the humiliation from before.
