The Geared Immortal

Chapter 714

(Unedited)

…

The eyes of Shin Jiao and Alea Zin met, and he just flashed her, a smile, in greetings. When Alea saw what the young man named Si Ji gestured, she heaves a sigh of relief. This is because she knew that the situation is not yet irreversible.

Actually, Alea has already noticed that Si Ji is a bit distant and did not bother with any small trifles. As long as he is not offended and it is not in dire need he would not act and would just brush things through.

However, if these two stupid brothers would be dumb enough to offend him, then she would not be able to stop what would happen next.

She saw how easily this young man which seems to have a lower cultivation level than hers easily killed those high elves with a higher power level. And this knowledge thoroughly scared her.

A sneer appears on Alea\'s beautiful face.

"I clearly heard that the lords in the town commanded you, people, to keep a low profile. What is the meaning of this?"

"Haha… Miss Zin, we are just having friendly banter, why so serious. Am I right young man…" Holstein Mills said as he lifted his chin towards Shin Jiao\'s direction with a provocation on his face. 

Shin Jiao did not dodge his gaze and also nodded his head.

"Let\'s do it somewhere we can fight without any hindrance." Shin Jiao said with a smirk.

Seeing the confident look on Shin Jiao\'s face plus him doing the challenging, Alea heaves a sigh of relief. It seems that the young man would not cause too much trouble.

"I want this to be official. If Holstein loses, you and your family stay away from the blacksmith shop. If not, then don\'t blame me for the consequence of your action." Alea Zin said with a serious expression.

"Then what if he loses?" Holstein Mills sneered.

"Then I will move out of town…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Hearing those words, Holstein Mills frowns, he is not contented with the condition.

"No… if you lose, then you will be imprisoned in our family dungeon. This is the punishment for challenging the Mills…" Holstein said with a sinister grin.

Hearing those sinister words from Holstein, Alea suddenly frowns but did not reply. She knew how overbearing the 2nd generation immortals are. Even she herself has that kind of disposition before. But now, she has changed. Plus she did not want to be noticed too much by the higher-ups.

She didn\'t want her family to come and take her away and be used as a bargaining chip.

Shin Jiao did not reply and just showed a sneer on his face.

"Then I will do that same to you two then… Let\'s start…" he said nonchalantly as he walked out of the shop.

The group arrives on a platform where there are also many people who are fighting against each other. This place is somewhere where people from the town would either practice or settle their scores with each other.

The group settles the condition of the battle and signs it with their blood. After that Shin Jiao and Holstein Mills went up to the fighting ring and face each other.

Many onlookers have already noticed this side as they recognize the Mills. As Holstein Mills is somewhat famous in town many have decided to watch this fight. They wanted to see who is audacious enough to challenge the genius of the Mills family.

On the stage, Holstein Mills is showing a proud look on his face while looking at Shin Jiao who is standing opposite him.

His eyes suddenly caught a figure standing on the judge\'s seat. It was his uncle one of the city Lords, Geland Mills.

Seeing his nephew challenging an unknown person, Geland Mills whisper to the young man beside him some words and that young man immediately nodded his head and left.

Geland Mills has a power level of 83 and is one of the lords under the Mills family in the town. The Mills is not that big of a family, but due to them having two lords in the town, they hold a somewhat strong footing in it.

As Geland saw his talented nephew challenging an unknown person, he feels a bit confused. But seeing the young man under the stage, he somewhat could tell what is happening. This nephew of his truly pampers his brother, and this might be the reason for this conflict.

He just shook his head and decided to deal with the consequence later.

On the stage, Shin Jiao did not take out any weapon and just stood calmly while facing Holstein.

Then suddenly the figure of Holstein Mills flashed and then with a quick speed, he appears in front of Shin Jiao. This speedy movement of his is followed by a powerful punch towards Shin Jiao\'s face.

Holstein\'s hand is covered with lightning Dao energy which crackled as it appears in thin air.

Shin Jiao\'s eyes squint and without hesitation moves a step to the side dodging the punch. But Holstein did not stop with just one attack, he suddenly used a skill that made his movement a bit faster, and the number of lightning fists in the air multiplies.

Hundreds of lightning-covered fists began to attack Shin Jiao who keeps on dodging from side to side creating a lot of afterimages.

This scene dumbfounded the onlookers as they have not seen such exquisite dodging technique before. In fact, not even those lightning bolts were able to touch Shin Jiao\'s clothes.

As the two continuously fight, one attacking and one dodging of defending, the scene in front of them now look like a dance presentation on the stage. Though it caused too much destruction, yet none could help but feel that the fight is a great piece of dance presentation.

"Is that all you\'ve got? All you know is to dodge! Coward!" shouted Holstein who is not ticked with annoyance as his attacks were all rendered useless against his opponent.

"Haha… You can\'t even hit me. I\'m just giving you a chance to attack… Come! Come!" Shin Jiao said with provocation.

His challenge made everyone laugh below the stage, and this made Holstein seething in anger.

He suddenly waves his hand and a long blade appears on his hand. The shimmering light produced by the long blade made everyone dazzled.

"That\'s the \'Demon Vanquisher\', the signature weapon of Holstein Mills… that young man is too unlucky." Someone from the crowd exclaimed and the crowd nodded their heads in agreement.

Who did not know how Holstein would use that sword to fight against those demon beasts in the forest? And he is also able to kill many High Elves and Zith\'ra people using that blade.

Everyone now felt sorry for the youth. When Holstein Mills stood on the stage, they already expected such an outcome, so they did not even think that the young man could really win against a powerful gold armored protector like Holstein Mills.

However, the audience could still feel that the young man before them is truly brave or just brazen enough to face such a foe.

Without warning, Holstein\'s speed suddenly increased as he flashed suddenly behind his opponent. 

When the crowd saw this everyone was silent. They did not expect that Holstein would really end the fight in a flash. They are expecting the torso of the young man would be cut in half.

However, Holstein suddenly feels a bit weak, and then before he would fall; his head suddenly disappears from his body.

The supposedly bisected body of his opponent suddenly disappears from the spot like a thin smoke and a figure is actually standing beside Holstein.

Then a headless body fell to the ground with a puddle of golden blood pouring out of its severed neck.

Everyone gasps in disbelief at this scene as they did not actually saw what had happened. For some unknown reason, Holstein Mills the genius swordsman of the mills family was actually defeated in one move.

They did not know what had happened so everyone began to discuss below the stage.

However, they have not recovered yet when suddenly another head disappears and that is the head of Grim Mills.

"Yaahhh!!!" a woman\'s cry reverberated through the air which stunned everyone in the crowd.

They all separated and saw the now fallen body of Grim Mills with a pool of golden blood coming out of his also severed head.

"How dare you!" someone on the stage suddenly shouted as the figure of Geland Mills appear on the stage while looking at the figure of Shin Jiao who is now standing next to Grim Mills\' body.

"Do you think the Mills family is easy to be bullied? Do you think that attacking my nephews would not have consequences… well let me tell you…" Geland Mills\'s aura suddenly rises.

However, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder as a young woman stood beside him.

"Lord Mills… this is an agreement between two parties. The Mills family is not the law in the town…" she said with a calm voice.

When Gelan Mills saw who the woman is, his body was shaken. This woman is a well-known figure in the town. She is in charge of the town\'s inner security and laws. She is one of the most powerful lords in the town which many are afraid of, Lord Ryoko Kiwazo.

"Haha… What an interesting lad… he looks weak, but his technique is not reliant on power. He executes his skills with minimal use of power yet each move of his is a killing blow… what a dangerous fellow." Ryujin Osmond who is sitting calmly inside the second floor of a restaurant muttered while watching the scene below.

He dined in this place to meet someone but did not expect to see such a spectacle.

His eyes suddenly landed on the young woman who walked near the young man who took down those two from the Mills family.

"So she is here…" Ryujin Osmond said with a contemplative look on his face.

"What is her connection with that guy?" he thought as he suddenly gestured at the youth behind him.

He whispers some words to that fellow and then looks back at the event happening below.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Geland Mills clenches his fist and glared at Shin Jiao who just showed a calm expression on his face.

He then turns around and was about to leave the stage, when Geland Mills suddenly shouted.

"I will give 500 energy cores, to anyone who can defeat him in a challenge!"

With that shout, he looks at the woman beside him and sneered.
