The Geared Immortal

Chapter 592

(Unedited)

…

Outside of the city, a chaotic situation is happening. A large group of people wearing animal leather armor are approaching in large strides. Their imposing auras and thick killing intent are exuding around their bodies. It was the Wolf Fang Bandit sect.

All of them are showing an angry look on their faces. How could they not?

A few days ago, the village at the foot of the mountain which the sect have a close relation with, have suddenly experienced a strange sickness. It has caused a lot of younger people and older people to die in just a short time. Those who are strong enough lived for a while but then suddenly something happened to that village and everyone in that place disappears.

Through their investigation, the sect found out that the cause of this came from the other villages outside. And because of the number of death of the people from the village in which many of them are the relative of the sect members, the Wolf Fang Sect members were all angered. They all decided to destroy those villages which spread the plague and annihilate the other survivors.

With this in mind, the sect members of the Wolf Fang Sect immediately set off with some of the elders of the sect.

They have already destroyed a village on their way but found something peculiar. Some of their sect members were infected by the strange disease. And this made the sect members became afraid of this disease. However, they soon heard that the city is providing a cure for the disease. And this piece of news angered them thoroughly.

Their rationale for this is that, "How could the city not send someone to cure the plague outside? How could they abandon the people? We must get that cure and avenge our families."

With this in their minds and the mentality that they are the strongest sect in the area, the group immediately set off to the city.

And now a group of puny guards are blocking their path. In their annoyance, a sect member suddenly made his move and killed three guards with ease. This made the guards took a step back along with the sick villagers behind them as their faces showed panic and fear.

How could they face against martial cultivators? With their meager strength, they could not compare to these powerful people which is as strong as a beast in the forest.

"You dogs of the city should just scram! We are here to get settle some debts…" shouted a strong-looking man with a mask of a wolf.

"What debt? We did not offend the sects and stay away from your territories. We dare not even step to inside the forest's boundaries…" shouted one of the guards.

"Haha… Your sin is that you kept the cure of the plague to yourselves and left our family to die. We are here for retribution…"

The unreasonable shout came from a sect member with his tone filled with anger. From his looks, it is clear that he had lost his family in that village. Everyone knew that, although most hidden sect in the forest would sever ties with their families once the child enters the sect. The Wolf Fang Bandit sect is different. They would keep the family bond and would even take the families of their disciples in the village just below the sect.

This is one way to hold their disciples and not let them betray the sect.

As the Wolf Fang Bandit sect move forward, the soldiers and the sick villagers would also take a step back.

However, suddenly someone from the Wolf Fang Bandit sect threw something in the air. Upon seeing the flying object everyone was in a daze. That object fell in the middle of the crowd of sick villagers behind the soldiers.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion reverberated through the air and people could be seen flying. This scene made the people became afraid. They didn't know what kind of weapon was just used, but it seems that it is a strange object that would explode when thrown.

Everyone thought that inside that object lightning is contained and has erupted. With the mysteriousness of the sects, they are not that surprised anymore.

"I knew that it was this powerful… Hehe…" a man said to himself while looking at the devastation he just caused.

The other sect members are looking at him with disbelief.

In the sect, he was considered as a mad man. This is because he would think of many different ways to create weapons. Instead of cultivating, he would use weapons to fight. Hence in the sect, no one would dare face him head-on.

While the man is admiring his handy work, loud wailing can be heard from the side of the villagers and some city guards. People lay wounded on the ground with many of them unable to move anymore as their bodies lay lifeless on the ground with their blood flowing.

In this scene of death and destruction, something suddenly fell from the skies.

Wham!

The figure landed in the middle. It was a tall figure clothed in a black hooded cloak.

"Who… who are you?" shouted a member of the Wolf Fang Bandit sect.

However, the black-cloaked man didn't reply and just walked towards a fallen villager. As he approached everyone didn't stand on his path and immediately made way. He extended his right hand and grabs that fallen villager by his arm.

Then a horrifying thing happened.

As if it was very rapid, the body of that villager suddenly wilted like a dried plant and immediately turned into flesh and bones.

Everyone who saw this scene showed a horrified look on their faces. The Wolf Fang Bandit Sect members have their eyes wide in disbelief.

They have all seen what happened in the village. Although most of the people disappear, those corpses which were left in the village have the same appearance as the villagers in the man's hand. They seem to have understood that the enemy they are looking for is actually right in front of their eyes.

At the top of the wall, Shin Jiao saw this, a glint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"That Qi was mine…" he thought as his eyes turned hostile.

He was planning to cure the rest of the villagers so that he could once again gain more Dark Qi. According to his calculation, if he could absorb more than 500 infected villagers, then he could gain at least 5 more spheres. However, this black-cloaked person is interrupting his plans and he didn't like it.

But he could not make a move as he is currently at the top of the wall. If he scaled the wall and jump down, then that would attract more attention. So he decided to run back and would try to find another way out.

Meanwhile, the angered Wolf Fang Sect member has already prepared their weapons to fight against the black-cloaked man.

His eyes roam around the villagers and wanted to make another move but he suddenly felt a sharp object coming towards him. After absorbing enough Dark Qi, Jiangxi Do's senses have been sharpened as if he came back to being a human and more. Hence he is able to feel the incoming weapon. With a simple raise of his hand, he let that blade hit his arm.

The blade penetrated the black sleeves, but no blood was spilled. Plus it's like the blade just penetrated a dried wood from the sound it produces.

With a sneer in his mouth, Jiangxi Do suddenly grabs the blade's handle and with a quick flick threw the blade back. The member of the Wolf Fang Bandit Sect who threw the blade also smirked and prepares to catch the blade. However, as soon as his hand was about to catch it, he felt a strange sensation and froze. He could not do anything as he watches the blade penetrated through the armor and the skin of his chest.

The man then slowly lifted his gaze to the dark-cloaked man and with a disbelief expression, his lifeless body fell to the ground with a loud, thud.

Everyone in the sect was surprised as they all take a step back. Their vigilance is already high as they prepare their weapons. Although they seem to be in disbelief, their vigilance is still there and everyone now wanted to attack the man.

Meanwhile, the sick villagers just ran to their city walls shed away from the battle, while the guards also ran towards the gate. Since these guards are mixed with the villagers, some of them knew that they are already infected, but they didn't care. They knew that inside the city, they could still be healed as long as it didn't last for 1 day, their bodies would be fine.

Now a strange silence pervades the air as a large group of Wolf Fang Bandit Sect began to encircle the black-cloaked man.

Meanwhile, a figure suddenly appears from out of nowhere among the villagers. This figure began to check the pulse of those who are sick. And as soon as he did that he didn't waste his time and just move from one person to another in a quick manner.

This figure is Shin Jiao. He decided to forgo the formalities and just absorb the remaining Qi while the black-cloaked man is busy.

Suddenly, a loud commotion and battle cries can be heard from not too far. Shin Jiao knew that the fight has started and he needs to be quick about his action. He could not delay it anymore and waste some precious Qi.

He acted like a money-hungry businessman not wanting to share his money with others. While he is doing this, with his face covered, the villagers just stood agape unable to digest this strange situation. However, those who have been touched by him felt their body became better. Though the pain is still there, their bodies are already feeling fine.

Boom!!!

Another explosion happened and Shin Jiao saw the black-cloaked man flying towards the forest. With his cloak and robe torn, Shin Jiao saw the small figure with a darkened body.. Then from his contact lenses, he could read the words, 'corpse body'.
