The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1376

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 126

…

Private battles in the street are not permitted in the city, but there are places that permit private battles to be held.

The city has the so-called battle arenas where people would fight each other either through combat, crafting, medicine, or alchemy.

Inside battle arenas would always be filled with excited people who would use this place as a source of living.

Bets are all over the place, and one would either end up with a landfall or go bust.

As of this moment, inside one of the arenas in the city, two figures are standing facing each other.

Lei Berong who has challenged Xin Ja is standing calmly while looking at the crowd around him.

He is confident that this fellow who has thwarted his plans would not be able to escape his hand today. Plus he would be dealing a blow on the Ao family if he is able to kill this guy.

"Everyone! This is a life and death battle between Lei Berong and Xin Ja… Since this is the battle arena, your fate would now be in your own hands… Only one of you will leave this place…" a man in his 30s who is the referee shouted while looking at the crowd.

He then looks at the two men in front of him and shakes his head when his eyes landed on Xin Ja.

"You still have a chance to back away…" he suddenly reminded the two.

Lei Berong sneered and chuckled.

"This grudge can only be repaid with blood…" he said as if he really hated Xin Ja.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just nodded his head to the referee.

The man did not have a choice but to shake his head in helplessness as he lifted his hand in the air.

"Take out your best weapon, or else, you will die with only one blow…" Lei Berong said with a sneer.

Xin Ja heaves a deep sigh.

He did not want to underestimate his opponent, but the guy is only a Ki-Master just like himself. So how could he fear the guy in this battle?

"Alright, since I am feeling generous at this time, I will let you have 3 strikes first…" Lei Berong suddenly offered.

Everyone laughed at the proposition because they can already tell the disparity between the two. A Ki-Fighter versus a Ki-Master, it is clear who would win.

"Are you sure about that offer?" Xin Ja suddenly asked with an incredulous expression.

"Haha… Of course, come now! Let's start…" Lei Berong gestured for Xin Ja to come and attack him.

Xin Ja smiled and shake his hand as he take out his black short sword. He did not take out his revolver as it would cause too much of a commotion once people would see it.

Suddenly, his figure flashes and suddenly appears beside Lei Berong.

Swoosh!!!

Lei Berong was taken aback as he did not see his opponent at that instant.

It was already too late when he noticed the guy standing beside him.

Bam!!!

Xin Ja uses his foot to deliver a sidekick to Lei Berong which made the latter fly in the air and land on the arena ground pitifully.

Lei Berong could not help but groan when he feels that his rib cage was almost fractured.

He was truly caught off guard and did not expect that his opponent has such strong power and fast speed that he could not even follow with his naked eye.

"One!" Xin Ja said with a smile.

Not the arena turned silent when they saw what just happened.

Then suddenly everyone erupted with glee as they all cheered at the unexpected outcome.

The guy is actually acting like a pig to catch the tiger. He is actually as strong as a Ki-Master.

"Damn it!" Lei Berong cursed out loud as he picks himself up in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, in the audience seat, a middle-aged man frowns when he saw what just happened. He is an elder of the Lei clan, and his name is Lei Gong.

Lei Gong is one of the protectors of Lei Berong and has permitted this battle to happen because he is confident that he has already seen the young man's true strength. He thought that at most that young person could only be as strong as a 10th-level Ki-Fighter.

But who would have known that his calculation was incorrect?

He has an eye patch on his left eye which is actually a Ki sensing artifact that he replaced his left eye with.

He could accurately detect the energy from a person using the eye.

At that time, he thought that the young man is hiding his strength so he used his left eye and saw that the young guy is only at the 10th level at most.

But he was truly wrong upon seeing what just happened.

He did not hesitate this time and quickly activates his eye to detect the true strength of the enemy of Lei Berong.

Although Lei Berong is only a minor character in the Lei clan, the young man had been showing promising results while taking care of the clan's business in the towns and small cities in the kingdom. And because of this, he was dispatched to guard the guy.

So far, he could see the business acumen of the man and knew that the family could truly use him.

So he could not let anything happen to Lei Berong in this place. Even if it causes him to disregard the rules of the arena, he knew that they could escape punishment because of the influence of the 3rd prince.

Lei Berong stood up and patted his robe while glaring at Xin Ja who calmly stands on the spot while looking at him with a calm smile.

"You hid really deep…" Lei Berong smirked.

From that one clash, he already could tell that the guy is as strong as himself.

So this time, he has already taken out his sword from his side.

"Are you ready…?" Xin Ja asked with a smile.

Lei Berong sneered as did not wait for Xin Ja to attack. Although he told the guy that he could strike first, he would break his word this time because he has to pay for the humiliation he just suffered.

Lei Berong might be someone with business acumen, but he is not someone with patience in battles.

What he received, he will give back multiple times especially when it comes to humiliation.

Swoosh!!!

His sword flew through the air and created an energy ripple as it is wrapped with his powerful Ki. Each slice of his blade would create Ki blade energy flying out of his sword and cutting the stone platform of the arena.

But the arena is not as simple as just stones. It is actually surrounded by runes that would repair its surface once it suffered from powerful blows.

As the Ki energy of Lei Berong's sword created destruction all over the arena, so do the runes performing to their capacity to repair everything.

The figure of Xin Ja, on the other hand, dodges everywhere as the blade passes through his silhouettes.

About five minutes have passed and the two have exchanged a few blows where they are able to almost destroy the arena.

But judging from the result of the clash, it is clear that Xin Ja has the advantage as his clothes are still in good shape while Lei Berong is already in tatters with light wounds all over his body.

"Damn you! You b*stard!" Lei Berong shouted in anger as he looks at his situation.

He could not believe that he would suffer such a state in the hand of a mere servant.

He suddenly takes out a few talismans from a pouch on his side.

When Xin Ja saw what is inside that pouch, he showed a complicated smile on his face. Lei Berong actually has a new model of Mule inside that pouch.

The new model of Mule looks like a small ring with numbers. It seems that Lei Berong is very proficient in using the small ring as he did not even need to use the goggle that comes with it.

Suddenly, Lei Berong threw out the talismans and they flew towards Xin Ja like heat-seeking missiles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several explosions devastated the arena as the talismans landed on the place where Xin Ja was supposed to be.

From inside the explosion, they suddenly heard a weird sound.

Ptaff! Ptaff!

The muffled sound of MCAW echoed through the air after the explosions as several bolts came flying at a very high speed at Lei Berong.

How could Lei Berong not put up his defenses at this time? Ever since being kicked by Xin Ja, he has already activated the rune on his suit which created an invisible barrier protecting him.

As the bolts hit the barrier around him, they were deflected and Lei Berong looks at the bolts in horror.

They were really too fast that even though he is a Ki-Master, he still could not follow their speed.

This made him begin to sweat coldly while looking at the figure still hidden inside the thick cloud of dust due to the explosion he caused.
