The Geared Immortal

The rise of the new Jiao family

/*unedited*/

"Humming blade!"

"Shadow step!"

The combination of these two skills is very dangerous because it can make the skill user almost invisible to the eye of his opponent.

Shin Jiao uses these two skills simultaneously because he knew that his enemy, Jin Lo Jiao's Qi, is already depleted. His body is already unable to produce the strong Qi Field of an infant soul realm cultivator.

When Shin Jiao opens his eyes, his figure immediately flashed and appears behind Jin Lo Jiao. As the two seem to have exchanged position it is not clear who won the exchange of blows and who won.

The crowd was stunned at this situation and a pin drop silence covered all of the surroundings. Even those people who are currently fighting against Aye Muyan and her two companions didn't dare breathe in suspense.

Aye Muyan's heart is being crushed in anxiousness as she has been monitoring Shin Jiao's fight against Jin Lo Jiao. She has seen their exchange while underground and saw the wound on Shin Jiao's body. Because she thought that Shin Jiao is at the losing end in this fight she decided to help her son no matter what happened. If they both perish in this battle then so be it.

She didn't want to bring the two women in this fight, but Jiyi and Jie Ye didn't think twice and decided to go with her. The two are confident of Shin Jiao's ability, what they didn't want to happen, is for Aye Muyan to face danger. Because they think that she is the mother of their master so they decided to not stop her, instead just to be there to protect her from harm.

So the three came out of the underground and face a hundred cultivators of the Jiao family. As they fought, Jiyi and Jie Ye showed an exceptional fighting prowess. With Jiyi's ability to control corpses of those who have fallen in their fight, she is like a commander of an increasing army. Every time someone would fall, she would use the soul essence to control that corpse and make it fight alongside them.

In this battle, the Jiao family suddenly felt fear. Aye Muyan is already a powerful expert of the gold core realm, and now another gold core realm with the ability to control an army of the undead made everyone feel a tingling sensation of fear in their hearts.

The old men on the borders also have their eyes on Jiyi as she controls the corpses.

"That woman… she… she has a special physique. A dual soul vessel body! What a rare gal."

"This… this is truly an eye-opener. If…"

"Haha… I found a treasure!"

The old man excitedly discusses among themselves as they eye Jiyi like a rare treasure. Even Gu Ouyang is looking at her with interest. This is because the Dual soul vessel body is truly one of the treasured physiques in the cultivation land. Not only is Jiyi fit for dual cultivation, but she can also control other souls. But right now, none wanted to make their move because of her current ability.

These old men are weary of another person, and that is the young man fighting against Jin Lo Jiao. As onlookers and powerful cultivators to boot, they can clearly judge that he is actually practicing some techniques against a monster like Jin Lo Jiao. So what is the meaning of this? It's simple if Shin Jiao wanted, he can actually use that hidden artifact of his to eliminate any one of them and they know that Jiyi would immediately control their body. That would mean a boost in their fighting prowess. So no one dares to take a gamble on this.

Then suddenly everyone's attention had caught another figure, the mortal woman.

This is because; she is actually conjuring large fireballs with ease. And from the looks of it, the woman seems to be proficient in doing this as if she has done this many times before.

"A mage!" suddenly one of the old men said with a surprise.

"A what? What do you mean?"

"That woman is a mage… just like those from the city of Dis."

"Huh? Speak up, old man. What are you talking about?"

"Sigh, you old fogies have been hiding in your dens for a long time that you are not aware of the current situation in the empire. A few months ago, my grandson has sent me a letter. He is currently working at Xi city in a large factory. This factory is creating flying objects they called aircraft which has the ability to travel through Daemon forest… anyway. My grandson told me about mortals who have unique powers, and they call them mages." The old man explained.

"Right now, I am really excited and can't wait for the phone to finish its research. This way, I can communicate with my grandson." The old man added with a smile.

While the old men are discussing, they noticed that there is something wrong in the battleground.

It seems that the battle just stopped and that the two figures of Shin Jiao and Jin Lo Jiao are currently facing against each other.

Suddenly, the two figures flashed and silence ensued.

Nobody dared make a sound as they watch intently.

Then the figure of Jin Lo Jiao slowly fell to the ground with his large saber cut in half. It was at the last moment; just to save his life he diverted his attack into defense. But it is still to no avail.

What is a perfect humming blade skill, it is the ability to make one's weapon to vibrate hundred or even thousands of times per second, along with the flow of Qi. This, in turn, makes the weapon able to function as if one is chopping a hundred or a thousand times over in just a second.

When Jin Lo Jiao fell to the ground a large amount of blood gushed out of his body as a deep wound from his right side flowed profusely.

"Cough…cough…" the old man coughs mouthful of blood as he has already lost his strength to stand.

He can feel his own warm blood slowly flowing out of his body. Now getting drenched in his own blood, Jin Lo Jiao can now feel the despair in his heart.

"He… help… help me!" he weakly said.

When the Jiao family elders heard he plead, they immediately rushed to his side. Shin Jiao and the rest didn't block them and let them run to Jin Lo Jiao's side.

Shin Jiao also walks calmly towards, Aye Muyan and the two women's side.

"Son are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Aye Muyan asked in concern.

"Umm… I'm doing fine mother. How about you?"

"Sigh… I'm also okay. You made me really worried back there." She said as she held Shin Jiao's hand and a trace of tear appear in her eyes.

Jiyi and Jie Ye also showed the same sign of tearing up. But they were able to control themselves.

"Mom, after this the Jiao family would not trouble us anymore." Shin Jiao said with a promise.

"I know… Humph… Son… thank you." Aye Muyan said squeezing Shin Jiao's hand.

Meanwhile, Jin Lo Jiao tried to convey his last words to the rest of the elders. But what surprised all of the people in this place is the crazy command of Jin Lo Jiao.

"Kill him! Avenge me!"

Those are his last words.

When the old men and the onlookers heard this, they were dumbfounded. In this fight, it is already clear that the Jiao family is not a match for the four people even with their numbers. The four are like huge monsters that even the clan and family ancestors in this place are now scared to provoke. And yet that crazy dying ancestor of the Jiao wanted his whole family to commit suicide.

"Sigh… I guess this is the fall of the Jiao's."

"What do you mean to fall? Can't you see that the young man is a Jiao? This only means one thing… with that young man's leadership, the Jiao family could rise to a whole new level… Hmm… I wonder who of my great-granddaughters are not married yet."

"Heh… shameless old man."

"Hey… Don't pretend, I know what all of you are thinking you can't fool me."

The discussion between the old men and the onlookers about the future of the Jiao family began.

They all know that the old Jiao family is going to end today. But it depends on the young son of madam Jiao if he would exterminate them all or let them be.

Amidst the discussion, the figure of Shin Jiao slowly walks forward.

"Members of the Jiao family. I will give you two choices… fight and be exterminated, or surrender and live. Those who would fight we will kill, and those who surrender will keep their lives, but we are going to exile you from the family. You are to live in a small village of my choosing." Shin Jiao said in a loud voice.

…

The next day, the news of the destruction was widespread in the whole city and the destruction of the old Jiao family was known to all. This made those big clans and families pay attention to this event. Plus they also heard the rising of a young man who is now the new head of the new Jiao family.

Shin Jiao decided to banish the rest of the Jiao clan members to a faraway village near the mountains. He didn't care what happened to them and just set a condition that they would never set their foot on the city or cause him trouble, and he can spare their lives. If they violate this condition, then he can only cripple their cultivation. Shin Jiao didn't want to exterminate a whole family so this is the only punishment he can give them. As long as they didn't hit his bottom line, then they can live.

A few days later…

After the trouble with the Jiao family, Shin Jiao is currently working on another project as the people working on the phone have already finished most of their preparations before it becomes operational. With the help of the academy teachers and the city's cooperation, they were able to finish everything really fast.

The use of Qi and the ability of the cultivators make everything flow smoothly.

Meanwhile, the trouble in the north is already widespread among the citizen and is making everyone worried.
