The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1362

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 112

…

The Berong Clan is a well-known clan from the capital city. Their clan has many branches in other cities and towns within the kingdom.

Just like any other big clans or families, the Berong clan members are haughty and prideful. Though not all of them would play tricks, some would still commit horrible deeds against others just like what Lie Berong did to the Ao family.

He manipulated something in secret which resulted in the almost annihilation of the family.

And since this was done in secret along with the influence of the Berong Clan, no one dares to investigate this case for fear of offending the clan.

And because of this, the big clans and families would always have an advantage over others when it comes to power and control.

So the people guarding the path to the Shen's Abode border dare not to be involved in this big family struggle.

They just watch as that wounded elder from the Berong Clan followed the two people from the An Clan.

At this time, Xin Ja suddenly spreads his sense of his surroundings and finally discovered the person following behind them.

"A mantis stalking a cicada, right…" he thought with a wicked smile on his handsome face.

"Hey, boy… Where are we going now?" Aunt Jing suddenly asked with a frown.

"We are about to enter the inner part of the array…" Xin Ja explained.

When she heard this, she was stunned.

If they are approaching that place, then they might get surrounded by powerful beasts. But why is it that nothing happens until now?

Soon, they reached a large stone with shining glyphs all over its surface.

"So… this is the…" Jing Xue suddenly stopped as she quickly raised her hand and created a barrier in front of her while turning her body around.

Bam!!!

A loud explosion reverberated in the air as two Ki forces collided on against another.

It created a powerful ripple that sent Xin Ja tumbling to the bushes near the large stone.

"You despicable bastard!" Jing Xue shouted in anger as she quickly takes out an artifact that looks like a frying ladle.

Meanwhile, the man who suddenly appears before her showed a shocked expression. He has used about 50% of his strength in that attack and is expected to kill the old woman. But who would have known that she could block his attack?

"You are no ordinary Ki-Champion…" the man who is the elder of the Berong Clan said with a frown.

He could see that the old woman is actually wearing many artifacts on her body.

His eyes suddenly glinted with greed upon seeing the artifacts that are partially glowing.

"Hehe… Old thing, if you surrender, I will leave you with an intact corpse…" he suddenly offered.

"Heh… Who do you think you are? Do you think just because you are stronger than me, you can be arrogant? Hehehe… To me you are nothing but another dead elder of some random clan…" she scoffed.

The man seemed to have been angered by her words as he suddenly waves his hand and a long sword materialized.

It might look like he is using a spatial tool, but he is not. This is because his sword is made of a material called Phase Ore.

It is a rare metal that can be found only in space. The ore has the ability to follow the will of its master and could materialize anywhere its master wanted it to be within the confine of its master's body.

That is why the sword appears from the man's hip quickly to his hand.

The speed of the man is truly terrifying as it left after images as he suddenly appears in front of Jing Xue.

Clang!!!

But Jing Xue is not a pushover as she quickly parried the long sword using the frying ladle.

The frying ladle looks awkward as a weapon, but for her, it is the deadliest artifact she has.

She did not hesitate to quickly swipe the ladle towards the man's face.

His reaction is also fast as he quickly blocks the ladle using the butt of his sword. Then he followed this with a slash towards her body.

She did not hesitate to block the sword with the ladle and guided it upwards while the ladle moved towards the man's head.

He steps sideways to dodge the incoming attack from the ladle.

Luckily for him, he did so because when the ladle missed, invisible energy hits the ground and created a deep trench which startled the man.

He now knew how terrifying the ladle is.

Just like when cooking, the ladle would scoop vegetables and meat and mix them efficiently without holding onto the oil because of the holes on its flat surface. Just like this, the Ki energy between the two of them is mixed by the frying ladle and was released in that strike.

He could not imagine what would have happened to him if that energy hit his body.

The man quickly jumps away from Jing Xue.

"It seems that you have your tricks old woman…" he said then sneer.

The woman might have powerful artifacts, but from their exchange, he could already tell that her strength is only in the primary stages of the Ki-Champion realm.

"Hehe… You're all talk…" Jing Xue did not hesitate to suddenly make her move and attack.

As she waves her frying ladle, the Ki energy in the air suddenly condensed and created a couple of wind blades that suddenly attack the man.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The trees in the area were decimated and even the ground was littered with holes in them.

The man quickly gathered his Ki and waves his sword in the air. When he did this, a sinister grin appears on his face as he suddenly lifted his hand and then clenches it into a fist.

Jing Xue suddenly felt an ominous feeling in her heart and quickly jump to the side.

But before she could move, she suddenly saw the ground bursting and several vines wrapped around her body.

By this time, the Ki energy blade is already flying at her.

If it hits, then her body would surely be severed in half.

Though she has a strong body of a Ki-Champion, it is not enough to stop the flying Ki blade.

She just looks in horror as the Ki energy blade approached closer.

But then suddenly, in front of her eyes, something opened which swallowed the Ki energy blade.

The man was stupefied upon seeing this scene. But then his heart skipped a beat when suddenly he feel the same energy appearing behind him.

Without hesitation, he twisted his body and put his sword in front of him to block the incoming energy projection.

Boom!!!

The Ki energy exploded upon meeting the blade and sent the man flying to the side of the mountain.

He spews a couple of mouthfuls of blood as he fell to his knees weakly.

He knew that most of his bones are crushed because of that feedback and that his body is severely wounded. If he did not get treated immediately he might die in this place.

He looks at his blade on the ground with his slowly fading vision.

Then he saw the blade being lifted by a figure that suddenly appears before him.

"You…" his eyes went wide when he saw that the ant that was casually blown away with just the collision of energy would be the one standing before him.

"I… I am an elder of the Berong Clan! If… If you kill me, the Berong Clan would kill you and your family!" he threatened in fear.

"Berong clan?" Xin Ja was a bit taken aback when hearing that familiar clan.

"It was the Berong Clan who exterminate the Ao Family, right? So you mean, your clan can do anything to us and we cannot do anything against it? Hehe… If I kill you what can your clan do to you? Avenge you? Hehe… O, I don't have a family by the way… Plus, what good would that do to you when you are already… dead…" Xin Ja said as he casually swipes the blade and beheaded the man.

Then without hesitation, he controlled the spilling blood and quickly threw it on the surface of the rock with runes.

As the blood touches the stone, it immediately shook. It trembles heavily and then one drop of blood after another began flowing out of the man's body towards the stone.

Soon, what's left of the Berong clan's elder is his skin and bones.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to quickly take the clothes of that elder along with his things leaving a naked bony corpse on the ground.

The runes on the rock now glowed brightly and it suddenly spins around really fast.

It was like it just took some kind of potent energy drink making it very energetic and active.

Soon after spinning for a few seconds a large hole at the mouth of the cave not too far from that place opened.

The hole is like a hole in space and the cave mouth is only there for decoration.

"So the abode is actually not in this place… This is just the entrance…" Jing Xue who has already recovered walked behind Xin Ja.

"No… This is only one of the entrances…" Xin Ja corrected as the two walked towards the hole in space.
