The Geared Immortal

Heroes and Villains: Chapter 8

/*unedited*/

The three figures in the arena started a no hold barred and vicious battle. Jing Do gave it his all in this fight as he rampages in the arena causing it to break apart little by little. And not only his power was strong, but also the power used by Bai Do who is bigger than himself. The twin sisters beside Bai Do also used their Yin and Yang prison which is now more powerful and is able to cause Jing Do damage.

After a long while, a figure suddenly flew out of the arena and into the village wall. Since in the arena only the Qi are blocked from flying outside its boundary, the person which flew out like a cannonball has a sorry figure.

It was Jing Do.

When he hit the wall, he spews out a mouthful of blood and it seems that both of his arms were broken. This is because he forcefully blocks the punch from Bai Do which almost has the power of a nascent realm cultivator.

"Shit, they are done fighting! Are we finished with the preparation?" seeing the pitiful figure of Jing Do Xinge Lee became anxious and worried.

"Yes! We\'re done!" Shadow Ang suddenly shouted with excitement in his voice.

"Do it now!" Jin Fu shouted as he took out a circular object from his hand and activated it.

Along with his activation, Shadow Ang also activated an array on the ground which started to suck in the Qi in the surrounding rapidly. It didn\'t take a few seconds before the array became active.

The portal appears in front of Jin Fu and the rest of the people immediately jumped in. Jin Fu remained to hold the portal active; he is supposed to be the last to enter. When it was only him and Xinge Lee was left she suddenly turns her gaze towards the place where Jing Do is and saw a contented smile on the man\'s face. His figure has now returned to the pudgy yet bulky young man he is, but it seems that his breathing is getting fainter.

When this plan was concocted by Jin Fu, they already knew what the result would be. The people in this group already accepted that they might have to sacrifice themselves in this fight. But if they win then the benefit they would have would be given to the families of their clan. For the first middle-aged man who fought they are going to give his sect and his family which he worked hard to protect and serve a great benefit and reward. This condition also goes with the others.

But right now, Xinge Lee has a complicated expression and feeling within her eyes.

"We know the sacrifice we have to do when we decided to fight this battle. They made their choices, we must honor them." Jin Fu said as he looks at her.

When their eyes met, a sparkle suddenly appears on Xinge Lee\'s eyes then she nods. She quickly enters the portal followed by Jin Fu. When the portal closes, the array suddenly activated.

What they set up in their side of the arena is a wide range explosive array which would cause the Qi in the area to become unstable and chaotic. Then a chain reaction would happen, Ling Ya was able to calculate how the array can be formed and how it would destroy the arena, turning it into a huge bomb. Now kind of array is not cheap as it needed high-grade fire crystals and mid-grade spirit stones. Without those materials, they would not get the best result.

And so, without a choice, they all put out their resources and gather them to make the array. And this is hidden from the eyes of Su Aw because of the formation they set up in their side. What Su Aw and his group can see is actually a recording of the action of Jin Fu and others. They didn\'t discover the creation of the array and how it was set up. Even the opening of the portal was hidden from under his eyes because he was truly confident that those ten people are playing under his hands.

This is true except for one person, Mer Li.

Her instinct is telling her of the great danger that her master would be facing. And without a second thought, she immediately grabs Su Aw and wanted to run. But before she can reach him…

KABOOM!!!

A loud explosion suddenly burst forth from the arena which destroyed it turning it into huge rubble which flew in all directions. Like huge shrapnel pieces, the debris from the arena causes huge casualties in Su Aw\'s group. As it was a sudden occurrence, no one was able to escape.

The red hulking brute Bai Do was hit by huge debris and only his torso was left on the ground which was later incinerated by the high temperature bursting flame. The twins were blown out by the force of the explosion and their bodies were riddled with holes by the flying debris and were also later turned into dust.

From the mansion, when Xinge Lee and Jin Fu exited the portal, they saw the huge mushroom-shaped clouds. Luckily Ling Ya and the other cultivators were able to set up a powerful protective dome. But it was not still strong enough to resist the power of the explosion because many holes can be seen from the flickering golden dome. The mansion itself was not spared and was riddled with far too many debris.

Some cultivators were also hit, but luckily for them, they were prepared and suffered light wounds.

The whole village was suddenly cleared of the dark green fog which surrounded it and from the sky, the golden light of the sun can finally be seen.

"Did… did we win?"

"We won right!"

"That explosion was too powerful. Nobody can escape that."

"Yeah!"

"This is great! We can go home now!"

Some people began to cheer, but some stayed vigilant. They would not put their guards down until they can see what the result is.

Currently, the whole village is already in ruins and the only building standing and almost intact is the huge mansion. They can even feel the extreme heatwave in the surroundings and the mist was replaced by the thick dust clouds which now covered the whole village.

…

Meanwhile, in the Snowpeach town.

The people in the town began to panic that night when a huge number of undead beasts began to once again surround the town. Even flying creatures appear which made everything hopeless. The mayor without a choice immediately activated the array. But they discovered that it was actually sabotaged by some men wearing a dark cloak.

A fierce battle began inside and on the walls of the town as it was siege on both sides.

The people began to feel despair as they know that once the walls are breached then even hiding within their homes would be futile. Yet no one wanted to give up, mortals and cultivators armies began fighting back, the 200 cultivator armies which the five representatives of the city of Wu brought along was of great help in pushing back the assault.

As time went by many has already fallen on both sides but it seems that the undead beast\'s horde is endless. This time they never retreated even after a long time has passed.

"This is the end right?"

"Maybe, but before I die I would give those creatures a piece of my mind!"

"Haha… yeah, they would really love that. They like eating brain the most I heard."

"Brothers, it\'s an honor to fight with you. Though you are mere mortals yet you fight bravely and I respect you all for that."

The soldiers on the wall started to talk as if there would be no tomorrow. Yet instead of being helpless they turn their despair into something else making them fight more fearlessly.

Then it happened…

The undead beasts were able to breach the walls of the town and countless concourses of vile creatures rushed in, in droves. They began to cause huge chaos within the town where cries of anguish and pain can be heard all over.

Meanwhile, in this chaotic situation, an inconspicuous house stayed quiet. The house has an underground basement which is divided into three rooms. In this well-lit underground basement are four people, a woman in her 30\'s and three children. The woman is currently sitting comfortably on a mat in one room while the three children are playing on another. They seem to be oblivious of the chaos outside which is currently happening, these are Jei Ye and the children.

Shin Jiao has already sent Jei Ye a message via a simple communication link and gave her his strict instruction. After she received it, she immediately followed his order and activated the house protection array and took the children underground.

"Will my mom and dad be alright?" suddenly little Hao\'er asked.

"Don\'t worry! With Big brother Shin in there, they won\'t be harmed." The little girl Hauyin Fu replied.

"Yeah, that\'s right! Big brother Shin is really powerful." Bao Fung added while proudly waving his fist.

"I think my dad if more powerful than Big brother Shin." Little Hao\'er mumbled.

Though he knows how strong Shin Jiao is, however, in his heart, his father is still the best.

And so the chaos ensues where many have already fallen and now threatens to annihilate the town of Snowpeach.

No one can stop the seemingly inevitable end of the town which was once very rich and prosperous.
