The Geared Immortal

Chapter 654

(Unedited)

…

Everyone was hoping that the ancestor of the Si clan would help with this fight. If he is able to free the ancestor of the Xian clan, then the two could work together to fight against the giant. Their hope and feeling of reliance on the strong and powerful ancestors of the clans were suddenly dashed.

A figure suddenly materialized out of thin air behind the ancestor of the Si clan. A young man who looks not older than the already unconscious young master of the Xian, Mengyao Xian, suddenly appears behind the ancestor of the Si clan.

Shin Jiao immediately chase after the old man from the Si clan. With his speed, it was easy for him to catch the old man. And with his quick movement, he appears behind the old man. He was thinking of not killing the old guy because the two didn't have enmity with each other, but he suddenly remembers the attitude of the old man and the way the Si clan threatened the Jin Tong and his family.

Since he is not staying in this place for long it would be better to illuminate any threat to his benefactors in advance.

Hence with quick strikes, Shin Jiao sent the old man plummeting to the ground. And before the cauldron could do anything else, Shin Jiao has already grabbed it and put it inside his ring in one quick move.

Everyone who saw this was dumbfounded.

Gaeus Ro who is also floating in the air has a look of interest in his eyes. He could feel that the aura of this human is different. It's like he is surrounded by different energies and should be turned chaotic. However, for some unknown reason, those energies are coexisting inside his soul.

A desire to fight suddenly envelops Gaeus Ro's heart. He wanted to kill and destroy, but his sole desire more is to fight against a powerful foe.

Hence without thinking he suddenly discarded the half-conscious old man in his hand and threw him like he was nothing to the ground.

This casual throw actually sent the old man plummeting to the ground like a cannonball.

Bang!

A loud explosion could be seen as desert sand flying all over the place.

Shin Jiao looks at Gaeus Ro and the sword on his stomach. But Shin Jiao did not show interest in that weapon. That is because that weapon contains the power of Gaeus Ro which is also present in the black and white stone, the yin and yang Energy Void technique.

"Gaeus Ro…" Shin Jiao said as he tried to test if this is the same person.

But the giant did not say anything and just looks at Shin Jiao with a burning gaze.

"Guess not, these fools have awakened a terrible being… What stupid and ignorant fools." Shin Jiao said while shaking his head.

He then stretched his hands and cracked his neck in preparation to fight another powerful opponent.

"Well, since I can't let you destroy this world, I will have to fight you then."

After saying that, as if with tacit understanding Shin Jiao and Gaeus Ro's figure suddenly disappear and reappear only to be already in contact with each other.

Boom!

A loud and powerful force exploded from that contact which sent all the debris and sand near them flying all over the place.

Shin Jiao's eyes suddenly saw the direction of the town, so he decided to take the battle elsewhere.

The two exchange multiple strikes as they test out each other's strength, well, for Shin Jiao that is. Meanwhile, Gaeus Ro who is being controlled by his own instinct is already giving everything in this fight.

Shin Jiao could feel a slight painful feeling in his arms in every strike he would defend from the giant. And each of their exchange would cause sonic booms like thunder in the skies.

Shin Jiao could still feel the strong pressure when flying too high at this time hence he could not fly high up beyond 40 meters. And their fighting has already caused that a sandstorm has already built all around them.

On the ground, a young man is standing on the side with a gaping expression.

Ling Hu Yu immediately recognized Shin Jiao when he appears. However, what Shin Jiao did next thoroughly dumbfounded him. With quick strikes, the young man who looks younger than himself actually sent a nascent realm expert to the ground half dead.

Those who tried to help the old man noticed that the old man's back is filled with wounds and the spiritual undulation in his body is already diminishing.

This only means one thing, the old man is already a cripple. They didn't know how could a nascent realm be turned into a cripple?

A nascent realm cultivator could form an infant soul in their dantian that could fly out of their bodies when they are in danger of dying. To cause one to be unable to make this happen is unheard of. Hence everyone was still shuddering upon noticing this scene.

The rest of the people began helping the others from the Xian clan who have fallen especially the old ancestor of the Xian clan.

Ling Hu Yu on the other hand just stood on his spot and his eye did not leave the figure from afar still battling with the giant as their distance increases. Mixed emotions flooded his heart as he recalled the young man who is silently following behind his cousin.

Then he recalled his small interaction with the silent young man. He didn't know back then that he is already facing a very strong person. How much tolerance and temperance would a person have to keep himself quiet after having such strong power? Ling Hu Yu couldn't imagine himself doing the same thing. However, he truly admires the young man deep in his heart.

With a firm determination in his heart and now a standing role model, Ling Hu Yu squinted while looking at the direction of Shin Jiao.

"Brother Si Ji… Thank you… thank you for taking that monster away here. I will work hard to become strong and protect the people in silence just like you. I just hope that one day we would see each other again." he muttered to himself as he turns around and left.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and Gaeus Ro have been exchanging blows and Shin Jiao would always fly from each of Gaeus Ro's strikes. This made the giant feel a bit discontent.

This human has riled up his fighting spirit and thirst for blood, but just like the rest of the weak and pathetic humans, he could not take his strikes.

Suddenly, he saw the young man suddenly change his expression.

"I guess this is already far enough." Shin Jiao suddenly said as he wipes the trickle of blood seeping at the side of his mouth.

When Gaeus Ro heard the human talking, he suddenly showed surprise in his expressionless face. He didn't know why but it seems that the human is actually not giving it his all in this fight. This notion made Gaeus Ro a little angry.

Roar!

Suddenly he roared in the air then flew directly towards Shin Jiao's location.

With a smirk on his mouth, Shin Jiao activated his domain and then prepare a skill on his fist. When Gaeus Ro enters the limited domain space, he immediately realized that the human knew some skill. He immediately activated his own domain. But before he could do that a fist came flying towards his face.

Bam!

The giant figure of Gaeus Ro was sent flying a couple of meters back and ringing could be heard in his ears as he unconsciously shakes his head to stabilize his condition.

But how could Shin Jiao let him recover, with a flash he appear in front of the giant and then sent another punch using the little knowledge he has gained with the Energy Void technique from his enemy himself from the Samsara Chamber.

This time, the figure of Gaeus Ro was sent tumbling to the ground like a meteorite.

Boom!

Thick clouds of sand fly high up in the air as a huge crater was formed. But Shin Jiao did not stop. He immediately flew towards the location of Gaeus Ro. Then he sent multiple punches towards the giant's body and face burying both of them deeper into the desert sand.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao noticed that his punches are becoming less effective. He then notices that the bruises on his opponent's face and body are starting to heal.

"That what tenacity." Shin Jiao thought as he immediately stopped.

Then before he could do anything Gaeus Ro sent his a swift punch. This time, in that short distance, the fist flying towards him contains a vast amount of energy.

Ka-Boom!

The dust in the air was immediately dissipated as if they were disintegrated by the energy in that simple punch.

That strike was so powerful that even if a cultivator has a nascent realm body and has already formed a nascent infant soul, he could die once hit by that powerful energy blast. This is because his body along with his infant soul would be disintegrated once hit by it.

These kinds of powerful techniques are rare to encounter and Shin Jiao knew that this move from Gaeus Ro is very dangerous. Disintegrating even the sands with just a force is something only those with power above the nascent realm could do. And Shin Jiao now knew that Gaeus Ro not only woke up with a strong body but also with a killer battle instinct without any sense of morality.

If he is defeated in this battle, he already could foresee what would happen in this world. If this homicidal fallen god runs amok, then this planet would surely be obliterated. But of course, Shin Jiao did not count on those aloft cultivators in the higher realms to help, because for him most of them are very selfish and narrow-minded.

Although Shin Jiao was not hurt that badly, he could still hear a slight ringing sound on his left ear after dodging that powerful strike. He didn't know why but in this counter from Gaeus Ro something woke up inside of him.. It was some desire that he has been keeping in control for a long time now, the desire to unleash his full strength.
