The Geared Immortal

Chapter 690

(Unedited)

…

On another lifeless planet, two figures suddenly appear at a distance of around 100 meters from each other. The planet seems to have no atmosphere as one can see the darkness of the universe and the millions of stars in the cosmos.

With a long spear in hand, Gerard Hung sneered at his opponent and slowly approaches with confidence in his stride.

He has seen the footage and saw how his opponent destroys his enemy. And as he looks at the body of Shin Jiao, Gerard Hung is sure that the young man standing not too far from him uses artifacts. In this battle, it is not forbidden to use artifacts. Everyone knew that artifacts are not easily obtained and their strength is only comparable to the user.

This only means that the artifacts of a silver armored protector could not overwhelm a gold armor protector just by using artifacts. That\'s why he is confident that the artifacts in his opponent\'s hand would not be able to harm him.

As he draws closer, Shin Jiao\'s eyes squinted as he observes his opponent.

Then when Gerard Hung is around 10 meters away from him, Shin Jiao suddenly draws a small dagger from his sleeve.

The silvery dagger made Gerard Hung almost burst out laughing. But he did not relax his vigilance. In reply to Shin Jiao\'s action, he waves his spear into an arc then a gust of wind suddenly covers his body like a tornado.

This in turn made the dirt around him suddenly flew up and a cloud of dust was formed concealing the two of them inside of it.

A small arc appears on Gerard Hung\'s mouth as if challenging Shin Jiao to show him his tricks. Shin Jiao on the other hand just shakes his head at his opponent who seems to have deliberately kicked up a dust cloud.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate and suddenly launch an attack. Using the dagger in his hand, he suddenly infuses it with the energy in his dantian. The small dagger suddenly turned into a long needle. The transformation was too quick that it looks like the dagger suddenly flew out of his hand.

In response to his action, Gerard Hung activated his armor\'s special feature.

"Giant Turtle Iron Shell…" he thought as his body was immediately covered in silvery gleam.

He waited for the attack but nothing appears, and this made him a bit confused. But he did not have time to think as he suddenly brandished his spear.

"This is one of my skilling skills… those who have seen it did not know what hits them. I hope that you are ready." He said with a sarcastic tone.

Then suddenly his body was surrounded with seemingly thousands of spears rotating along with the whirlwind covering his body. Then he suddenly extended his right hand holding the long spear and thrust it towards Shin Jiao\'s direction.

With his movement, the dust cloud around them was suddenly blown away by the extreme force and a drill-like attack composed of thousands of spears flew towards Shin Jiao kicking up the air and clearing the view for everyone to see.

"Now die!!!" Gerard Hung shouted with a sinister grin.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion and the cloud of dust which is already covering the place now covered around 100 meters radius of the area.

Everyone who is watching their fight was craned their necks with eyes squinted as if trying to see what is inside the thick dust cloud. However, no matter how hard they try they could not see anything.

Suddenly, everyone saw two shadows darting from one place to another kicking up dust clouds in the air. It looks like an intense battle is happening.

Shin Jiao was not hit by the attack launched by Gerard Hung; instead, he was able to dodge it. Gerard Hung then discovered that someone was standing behind him. But thanks to the whirlpool surrounding his body, he is able to detect his opponent.

And from there, the two began throwing blows against each other.

But what baffled, Gerard Hung was that his opponent is not using any weapons but only his bare fist.

However, there is something wrong with those bare fists. Every time he tries to block them, he could feel a slight stinging sensation in his arms.

As they exchange blows after blows, Gerard Hung suddenly feels his body getting weaker and weaker by the moment.

And this frightened him. His confidence was immediately destroyed and he decided to not play the game that Shin Jiao is playing.

After another collision, he suddenly jumps in the air and with a wave of his hand uses his long spear and sends hundreds of wind blades towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao on the other hand dare not face the wind blades as he knew of their destructive ability.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two to three meters wide and one meter deep craters began to appear on the ground\'s surface. As someone who is able to enter the top 100 fighters, Gerard Hung has the strength and the ability to back his rank.

One of those strengths is his defensive ability. However, that was already compromised since the two have exchanged blows. Now he is going to rely on the power of his spear.

He has a friend in the craftsman association and has requested to have a special armor and a special spear to enhance his fighting prowess. His friend worked for more than a year to craft him the armor and the spear.

Though his friend has a low standing in the craftsman\'s association, he is still able to craft him good artifacts.

"You have shown me your ability… but I think it still lacking compare to mine." Gerard Hung said in a provocation.

However, his opponent did not say anything.

Shin Jiao just runs around and did not take action as if he is waiting for something.

Suddenly, using his psychokinesis, he noticed that change in his opponent\'s body. With that, his eyes lit up. When he dodges the last wind blade, Shin Jiao suddenly changes direction. From running all over the place, he suddenly vanished from his position and appears behind Gerard Hung.

The later suddenly found his body feeling a bit stiff and immediately circulated the universe energy to counteract this strange thing that is happening in his body.

But then before he could do anything else, he felt a pain in his neck.

Then he noticed a figure standing behind him, and also learned that the whirlwind surrounding his body has already dispersed.

"H… H… How… How did…" before he could finish his words Gerard Hung\'s body fell limply to the ground and his vision went dark.

This time, everyone in the audience saw what happened. In their fight, although there is still the presence of dust clouds, they have already noticed the two silhouettes. And after a few exchanges, the dust cloud was thinned and the two figures were seen.

In that last attack, they saw Shin Jiao moving really fast as if he suddenly teleported behind his opponent and then he backstabbed Gerard Hung with his small dagger on the neck area.

Everything happened too fast that the audience was stunned.

It was a good fight, and they saw that the simple-looking young man with a weird silver armor won his fight using some weird tactics which have rendered the supposed strong defensive ability of Gerard Hung useless.

"This young man is weird…" someone from the upper stand who is watching Shin Jiao\'s fight said.

"Yes, I agree… He is from Vitol town, right?" the one who is standing next to that man asked while his eyes shifted to an area where there are some people wearing monk clothes are seated.

His eyes landed on a particular bald lady, Nun Biyu Long.

"Is he their secret ace?"

"I think so… I found it weird that this young fellow did not receive any wounds from his opponent so far."

"Let\'s just see if he can still survive in the next rounds…"

The high lords who are watching Shin Jiao and Gerard Hung\'s fight began discussing amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, three High Lords look at each other, and a knowing smile appears on their faces. In fact, they too are shocked at what Shin Jiao did and how he won against one of the top 100 fighters who are always in the rankings.

While this is happening, a figure has already exited a platform and his eyes saw what happened in Shin Jiao\'s viewing sphere. This made him show an interested gleam in his eyes. He looks at the two silver spears at the top of the audience stand and focused his mind on them.

He wanted to retract those spears, yet, he found that he is unable to control them. It was as if something is holding those things in place. So, this time he focused and turns them into their original shape.

While he is doing this, Shin Jiao has already returned and appeared on the platform. His psychokinesis immediately covered the two spears as if by reflex. Then he found that the two spears suddenly went back to being 2 small balls.

Le\'as wanted to retract the balls, but then he discovers that he could not as the strong blocking force seem to still be holding them into position.

This time, he is now afraid. Those two balls are his assassination equipment and are connected to his mind. If he loses control of those things, then he would suffer a drawback and just like what had happened to Lord Ming\'sel who suddenly lost her spirit needle. Until now she is still unconscious.

His eyes darted all over the place trying to figure out who is trying to take control of the two balls. But he did not notice anyone concentrating. Then his eyes landed on Shin Jiao who is walking down from the stage.

He feels that this young man is the cause, but he is not sure as he seems to be casual in his movement and is not trying to do anything but just walking towards their booth.

But he feels that his conjecture is not wrong. Hence with an angry stare, he suddenly controlled the two balls hidden above and turns them into spheres.

Then he launched an attack.. He would risk everything rather than suffer the drawback.
