The Geared Immortal

The war part 7

/*unedited*/

Shin Jiao saw one of the people chasing after him took out a small pouch from his side pocket. What surprised Shin Jiao not the pouch but the way it was taken out. That is because the pouch is not inside a spatial tool. This only means one thing, the pouch has a living creature inside it. What kind of animal was it, Shin Jiao has no idea. Spatial tools won't store living creatures which is bigger than a thumb. This is because, inside the space, the air is not present. Although cultivators can hold their breaths for a long time and also other small creatures, if they stay inside a spatial tool for a long time, then only death would await them.

Plus the owner would be able to detect such presence of creatures once inside the pouch. Only those with small worlds can contain living beings, however, these kinds of spatial tools are far too rare. If it is discovered then those big clans and even the imperial family would mobilize to have that tool.

And so Shin Jiao feels that the two are acting too weird. So he just continues watching them.

"Let's track him, big brother." The man holding the pouch said with a smile.

Then with a wave of his hand, something came out of the pouch and formed the figure of a large wolf with black fur.

When Shin Jiao saw this, his heartfelt elated.

"Beast tamers!" Shin Jiao thought in excitement.

He has heard of these kinds of people in the cultivation land. They can cultivate beast and as the beast grew stronger so will the cultivator, hence when fighting against a beast tamer you should expect to fight against two people with the same cultivation level.

Although beast tamers are strong, their cultivation speed is slower than normal cultivators. This is because of the time they spend cultivating.

Plus being a beast tamer is very costly due to the food consumption of the beast. So almost no one would bother being one. Although some rich young men would try it because of the cool mounts they can have as beast tamers, yet in the long run many have given up on this cultivation path.

Seeing the huge black wolf, Shin Jiao's eye shone with expectance. Though the two are his enemies, his goal is to test out some skills and at the same time gain information about the Nian clan.

"I think it's time for me to deal with them." Shin Jiao said as he looks at his armband where a digital modern mapping system can be seen.

Shin Jiao pressed a point in the mapping system and in that area a weird smell was produced. This is one of the byproducts that Ai Ji's experiments have produced. When Shin Jiao was about to go out for the mission, he passed by Ai Ji and saw many byproducts of her experiments. Hence he decided to take some of it because he can actually recognize many of the byproducts that are on the jars.

On Shin Jiao's hand right now, are twenty bottles. They are the extracts of some of the poisonous plants which Ai Ji used so that she can create some antidotes and some medicine. With her experiments, she was able to create tons of things with thousands of combination possibilities. Hence many dangerous byproducts were produced.

As Shin Jiao presses the blinking icon, he actually releases a faint smell of blood. When the beast picked up the smell of blood, it immediately ran towards the area.

When Shin Jiao saw this he flashed a smile on his face.

"Let's watch the show." He muttered as he follows the group in secret.

The wolf ran like the wind and soon arrived in the area. On the ground, blood can be seen everywhere. It looks like there was a fight in the area.

When the two men arrived, they immediately scanned the surroundings and found that there is something wrong with it.

Although the place looks like a battlefield, yet, there is no evidence that a battle has happened.

So they carefully approached the place.

However, the two were suddenly stunned, because they soon found out that the wolf suddenly stopped moving. Then after a while, it suddenly fell to the ground.

From where the wolf stood, Shin Jiao smear the ground with a combination of poisonous materials.

Although these materials are extracted from plants when they are combined it becomes more poisonous.

Hence when the wolf's foot came in contact with the odorless liquid, the poison immediately took effect.

When the wolf fell, blisters slowly spread through its body while foam started to form from its mouth.

After the two people saw this, they immediately took a step back.

"No! No!" the man who released the wolf howled in pain as he watches his beast companion slowly died while twitching all over its body can be seen.

"I will kill that bastard!" the man shouted.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao didn't mind the two and continue watching the effect of the poison.

After seeing the gruesome effect of it, Shin Jiao can't wait to control the poison essence inside his body and absorbed the combination of that poison. That way, he can control its destructive effect in his body so that he can strengthen his physique to another level.

Although this is very dangerous, yet, Shin Jiao is confident of the poison essence in his mind dantian. He may not be able to control it, but it would automatically save him in crucial times. That is what he had learned from his experience so far.

After the experiment, Shin Jiao decided to take care of the two men and be on his way.

"You two are members of the Nian clan right?" Shin Jiao asked as he slowly lifted the camouflage effect of his cloak.

When the two men heard him, they were startled.

This is because they have already scanned the area for a presence yet they discovered none.

So, when Shin Jiao suddenly appears like a ghost they were startled. Yet, the two immediately took out their weapons and prepare for a fight.

The younger one of the two showed a fierce expression. This is because he blames Shin Jiao for the death of his beloved wolf.

While the older one didn't do anything as he just did a defensive stance. They are wary of Shin Jiao's poison ability. From what had happened to the wolf, they are aware that as humans their poison resistance is very low. Hence they are vigilant in this fight.

"I guess the two of you are afraid. But I want to know from you about the Nian clan. Mind if I ask you nicely? If you can answer me, I can spare your lives." Shin Jiao said with a hint of a sinister smile on his face.

This made the two feel crept out. But none of them replied.

Gritting his teeth the younger one could not hold it anymore especially when he saw the sinister look on Shin Jiao's face. So he erupted in rage and immediately rushed to attack.

"I guess you don't want to talk about it nicely." Shin Jiao said as he quickly moves.

The man swung his hand towards Shin Jiao. While swinging his arm, there is a long Tang blade that appears suddenly appear on his hand.

This kind of attack is like a sudden punch, but before the fist, the sharp end of the blade has already reached his target.

Then the man saw that the tip of his blade pierced through Shin Jiao's head, making him showed an evil smile on his face.

He had implored such tactics from before and is already proficient in doing this. Those who became victim to his surprise attack have always died through impalement.

But before he can be happy, his smile suddenly froze.

This is because what he pierce is actually air.

As the afterimage of Shin Jiao disappears so did the man's tang blade.

With a quick turn, he immediately scanned his surroundings and found that Shin Jiao is already behind him.

Shin Jiao directed a punch towards the man's center spine. His fist is already covered in Qi to counter the Qi field of the man. But before his fist could reach the man's back, the tang blade suddenly appears and blocked his fist.

"This guy is proficient in using his spatial tool and uses it to hide and displace his weapon no matter what angle he wants… what a nice skill. I think he made that himself." Shin Jiao thought as he admired the man's ingenuity in fights.

In these two exchanges they both saw their opponent's prowess.

But for Shin Jiao the man is still weak and his weapon subpar. This is because the guy didn't notice that with Shin Jiao's punch his weapon is already about to break as he hid it in his spatial tool.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao felt strong killing intent from behind him and immediately took a simple sidestep. He then let a large Guandao blade or glaive pole pass through inches away from him. With his physique, the Qi energy on the blade was unable to affect him.

After the Guandao blade pass, Shin Jiao made a move and quickly grab the arm of the guy. Using his raw strength he broke the Qi field protecting his arm and immediately twisted it.

The large guy didn't expect this to happen as it happened too fast. But before he could scream in pain, he felt something passing through his neck.

Using the same technique as the first guy he fought, Shin Jiao was able to do a sneak attack on the large man.

Seeing his older brother getting attacked the other guy immediately rushed in to attack Shin Jiao. But before he could go near, Shin Jiao used his feet to kick the Guandao blade and sent it flying towards the rushing man.

With a quick movement, the man twisted his body sideways to dodge the long sharp edge of the Guandao blade.

But before he can recover, he felt that something cold touched his neck.

This is because Shin Jiao has already appeared beside him and using the same skill, did a sneak attack on the man.

The two have died with two simple wounds on their necks, which made Shin Jiao felt a little elated at his newfound technique.

Though this technique does not use Qi or natural energy, in a close battle it is very effective in sneak attacking an opponent.

After the fight, Shin Jiao cleaned up the place and immediately took the belongings of his victims.. When he checked them out he suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face.
