The Geared Immortal

Chapter 581

(Unedited)

…

A young man running away from the battle while behind him is a fast-moving ferocious tiger. The beast is growling in anger as it chases after the young man in a frenzied manner. Those who stood in its way would die from its razor-sharp claws. No matter what piece of armor that person is wearing they would surely be sliced into pieces.

Shin Jiao has successfully attracted the beast\'s attention and ran away from the battlefield. And without the presence of the tiger, the beasts began to weaken on their resolve to fight. But the number of the beasts alone is already enough to drown the whole Mountain Beast sect.

In this desperate moment, a large number of martial cultivators began arriving in the forested battlefield. From the clothes, the people are wearing it is clear that they belong to the two other sects hidden inside the mountains.

Chang Song waves his weapon and sharp wind flew out of his sword and cut the beast in front of him in half. But it didn\'t fly that far as the force suddenly dissipates in the air.

"Haha… Brother Song is truly amazing to be able to produce such a skill…" a tall and handsome young man suddenly said as he suddenly brandished his spear and hundreds of spear shadow flew towards a number of beast piercing holes on their hide.

"Senior… you\'ve come. Thank you for the assistance…" Chang Song said and he cupped his hand in greeting.

"Haha… if we don\'t help you, then we would also be in trouble. Thank you for the message. If you didn\'t inform us, then it would have been too late."

The young man wielding a spear made of some animal\'s bones and hard shells is a member of the Jade Tortoise Sect. Since the two sects have close ties to each other, they would always inform each other in times of danger.

But then, beside the Jade Tortoise Sect, a large number of martial cultivators wearing beast\'s skin as their armor also came forward. It was the members of the Wolf Fang Bandit sect.

The Wolf Fang Bandit sect is actually a group of bandits. And they would sometimes terrorize the citizen of the Yun Ji City. However, since they declared themselves as a sect, they have stopped doing banditry and focus on cultivating assassination skills.

However, they never change their name and instead held it so that they can always remember their origin by heart.

It is also said that most of the women in the sect are beauties. This is because they use their beauty as their own weapon.

And so, the three large sects combined together to fight against the beast tide.

"Alright, we will follow the same old rule… you get what you killed." shouted an elder in a loud voice.

Then suddenly a jubilant cry reverberated as the sect disciples of the three large sects rush forward.

Meanwhile, is a far distance from the battlefield, Shin Jiao has already led the Bloody Bony Tiger in a small clearing. He wanted to test out his theory about using force to imitate magic and energy.

"You\'ve been leading me to this place… are you not afraid to die, young human?" suddenly the Bloody Bony Tiger talked in a low muscular tone.

"You… you can talk?!" Shin Jiao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph… I can feel that there is something different about you. Maybe if I eat you, I can gain your strength… Hehe… You are very foolish to challenge me."

"Umn… Maybe, but we can\'t know unless we both fight, right?"

Shin Jiao mysteriously said as he went on a fighting position.

Suddenly the tiger vanished from his position and appear in front of Shin Jiao in a blink of an eye. Then with a swing of its huge paw, it swipes towards Shin Jiao\'s head aiming for a sure kill blow.

Shrink!!! Screech!!!

Clang!

The sound of metal being hit and falling sounded in the air. The iron sword on Shin Jiao\'s hand is not cut in half.

"What a speed…" Shin Jiao muttered as he positions himself back with his fists still ready to fight.

"Haha… you have a very quick reaction there for a human… I think I\'m getting excited to devour you…"

The tiger said as he once again rushes towards Shin Jiao. This time its target is his body. However, right at this moment, Shin Jiao\'s contact lenses are showing him the speed that the tiger is currently moving.

\'190 kph\' is displayed on the upper right corner of his vision.

"Hmm… not bad for an animal… this is enough to be considered as really fast if you compare to a body refining realm cultivator." Shin Jiao thought.

However, in his view, the movement of the tiger is just normal. This only means that their speed is almost the same.

And so with a shift of his body and by lowering his stance, he is able to dodge that critical strike.

But the tiger didn\'t stop attacking. After it missed, it suddenly uses its hind legs and delivers a roundhouse kick with its claws extended.

Shin Jiao did not get distracted and immediately shifted his body to appear beside the tiger. Then with a quick jab, he delivers a simple punch at the side of the tiger\'s ribs.

Crack!!!

The simple punch made a cracking sound on the beast\'s rib bone. However, it was not enough to break them.

Growl!!!

The tiger roared in anger as it didn\'t expect the human to be as fast at itself and did something like that. The slight pain it felt on its side made it stop thinking and suddenly became enraged.

Without stopping, it began to deliver blow after blow of its paws.

Shin Jiao on the other hand was a bit surprised at the fighting style that the beast is showing. It looks like he is fighting against a beast martial artist.

As of now, the tiger is already standing on two legs while showing a martial arts fighting stance.

"That punch was not strong enough to send shock waves…" Shin Jiao thought as he recalled the only punch he sent to the beast.

"Then how about this…" he thought as he positioned himself.

The tiger is already rushing to send another barrage of attack towards Shin Jiao who seems to be only standing in his position.

It clawed towards him and then suddenly delivered a low sweep on Shin Jiao\'s legs.

Shin Jiao didn\'t have a choice but to slightly jump. But this is what the tiger is waiting for. In the memories of the people it has eaten and absorbed, it remembers a skill. Then recalling that skill, it suddenly positioned, its two paws to its side and as it twisted its large body it pushes its two paws to deliver a two fist punch towards Shin Jiao\'s falling body.

As the large paw filled with ten razor-sharp claws drew closer a smirk appears on the tiger\'s expression showing its razor-sharp teeth.

However, Shin Jiao who seem to be focusing more on his fist suddenly muttered.

"That\'s it… There…"

Then his right fist flew from his side towards the two incoming large paws of the tiger.

Bang!!!

A loud sound reverberates in the air as two strong forces collided with each other. Then suddenly a figure flew out from that clash and hit a nearby tree with a loud thud.

Shin Jiao\'s figure was the one who flew back as he has no footing and was in mid-air when they clashed. However, when he hit the tree, he suddenly spews a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, that was really powerful…" Shin Jiao muttered as he wipes the blood at the side of his mouth.

He then picks himself up as he dusted his clothes and the already torn leather armor. Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the tiger who stood in his position without moving.

"Hey, are you okay?" Shin Jiao shouted as he walked towards the tiger.

"You… what… what… did you… do… to my… body?" the tiger forced itself to ask.

"Oh? So… it worked? Haha… that was awesome…" Shin Jiao said as he checked the tiger\'s body that froze after that clash.

Shin Jiao carefully touches the paw of the beast and extended his absolute sense towards its whole body.

From his mind, he began seeing the condition inside the Bloody Bony Tiger\'s bones. He can see a lot of hairline cracks inside, but the worst condition is its two paws which held the brunt of the impact. In fact, the beast\'s bones are already in pieces and the shock wave seems to have triggered the energy in its muscles which causes them to tighten up.

It\'s not any different from being frozen.

"You lost…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"I will ask you a question. And if you answer me truthfully I might let you live."

The tiger didn\'t reply and just glared at Shin Jiao who is still holding one of its paws.

"Do you know how to get out of this world?" Shin Jiao asked in a low voice near the tiger\'s ears.

With this question, the beast suddenly had its eyes went wide as if the question that Shin Jiao asked is some taboo.

"Hmmm… judging from your reaction, it is possible then." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Haha… no matter how much you struggle. You cannot leave this… this prison. Hehe…" the tiger said with a grin.

It knew that it is already fated to die. So it didn\'t mind teasing the human and making him despair.

"Oh… so this place is a prison… Hmm… I wonder where the jail guards are. Haha…"

"You… you tricked me?... Well… no matter, you cannot escape this place. You can\'t even defeat the beasts in the mountains. You can only die in here." The tiger said with a sneer.

"Alright, I think I go it now. Beast and mountains… If I want to get out of here, I guess I have to traverse the forbidden mountains then. Thank you for that information…" Shin Jiao said as he suddenly squeezes the paw he is holding.

With that move, the tiger suddenly felt its body losing control and its consciousness fading.

Shin Jiao looks at the dead tiger on the ground with the bones of its body shattered in pieces.

However, before he could walk away his ears pick up a low gasping sound from the bushes.
