The Geared Immortal

Chapter 148 - The Geared Immortal Versus Zombie Cultivator XXVI

Human versus Zombie cultivators: Chapter 8

/*unedited*/

The many groups of cultivators who have retreated are being surrounded by many undead beasts. They didn't know from whence these creatures appear, but they are sure that this is one of the traps set up by the necromancer.

While the group is escaping they were led by the chasing undead beasts to an open area of the forest. Now they are trapped by countless undead creatures that surrounded them.

With horror in their eyes, those groups who got the palm-size wooden slab and wanted to return to town are now regretting their decision. They thought that they would be able to escape safely but they had underestimated the cruelty and slyness of the necromancer.

"This is bad, what should we do?"

"Do we have array formation experts here?"

"We need to start forming a defensive array."

"Stupid! Do you think it's easy to make a defensive formation in an open space? Before we finish it all of us would have already been dead."

As some people began to clamor in fear and anxiety, some kept their cool and analyze the situation. They are trying to weigh their options of whether to use their trump card or not.

But before they can make a decision a person suddenly appears from within the midst of the undead beasts. The man looks thin as he wore tight-fitting leather armor. On both sides of his waist hang two bone swords which emit a sinister and cold aura.

"Hello! I am the Jester. And I will be your host today… Kekeke… You see, my master has given you a chance to enter our domain, but you lot disrespect him by leaving. So now, my master wanted me to bring back all of your corpses! Kekeke…" the man said in a playful but sinister high pitched tone.

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the crowd became angry. But when they noticed his cultivation, all of them immediately turned quiet. The thin tall man is actually a primary stage infant soul forming realm cultivator, and by the looks of it, he is not an undead cultivator or a zombie.

"You're… you're a devil cultivator!" suddenly someone from the crowd shouted.

When they heard this, everyone unconsciously took a step back.

Devil cultivators are cultivators who practice cultivation without morals or principles. They would randomly massacre hundreds or thousands just to attain their cultivation. And just like normal cultivators they also cultivate Qi, but the difference is that, when they reach the nascent realm, they are called devil born.

It is said that devil cultivators are stronger than normal cultivators, but before they can become strong, they needed to collect souls. The more soul they corrupt and sacrifice, the powerful they become. Plus their bodies are like that of demon beasts, which is stronger than that of a human.

After reaching the Devil born realm, they can now manifest wings on their backs. Their wings are like bat wings, which they can use to fly even without using Qi. The next stage is the World demon, which makes a devil cultivator stronger and is now able to wield dark Qi weapons and armor. But reaching this stage is like one in a million chances, because of the number of souls one would collect.

Then there is the sky demon, which can make a demon cultivator control almost all the elements just like a heavenly nascent realm cultivator. And then there is the high demon realm, which is equal to that of a saint immortal. And last would be the Demon God realm, which is the opposite of the Deity realm. One is in the darkness and the other one is in the light.

Because of the common knowledge of the cruelty of devil cultivators, they would always be hunted down almost immediately upon knowing is there exist one. Well, it could not be helped as being a devil cultivator means that you would turn your back against morals just to attain immortality.

Although everyone is afraid, however, none wanted to surrender as they know the outcome already. So instead of surrendering, they would rather fight.

"Do you think you have the ability to take our corpses? Then come and get it, demon!" A man suddenly shouted as he raised his ax high up in the air.

Upon seeing this, everyone shouted.

Yaahhh!!!

Fight!!!

Then as one body, they began to charge towards the undead beasts, which upon seeing the charging cultivators, immediately charges forward too.

"This… master… why are the undead beasts attacking this early?" suddenly Jester asked through telepathic communication with Su Aw.

"They are enraged… Just kill all the cultivators now." Su Aw commanded on the other side.

"As you wish my lord," Jester muttered as he bowed his head slightly.

Then he turns his head to the side while looking at the incoming cultivators upfront. Then an evil grin appears on his face. It has been a long time since he killed many. So this time he would harvest some of the soul in this area as his compensation.

Immediately the whole place turned into chaos as the undead beast and cultivators clashed. Although outnumbered, the cultivators use their own skills and abilities to get the upper hand in the battle. So slowly but surely they started to show that they are winning against the undead beasts whose movements are simple and sluggish.

"Ohhh… they are killing masters pets. This is bad… this is bad… I think I need to take action now." Jester suddenly muttered as he looks around the whole area while floating above.

Then upon seeing a cultivator, he immediately lifted his hand and a small pebble suddenly floated towards his hand. Then with a flick of his finger, the pebble flew like a bullet towards the young cultivator. Although it's just a simple pebble, nevertheless it's already infused with his dark Qi so it flew directly towards his target breaking the young cultivator's Qi field.

Puchi!!!

The pebble enters Jester's target's head and went through the back exploding his skull. Red and white brain matters immediately scattered through the surroundings.

Those who saw this immediately had their knees go weak. They can feel the cold sweat covering their back and a tingling sensation at the back of their heads. They almost could not believe that a simple pebble can kill a gold core realm cultivator.

But Jester didn't stop there; he began to throw out rapid and random pebbles on the ground towards the cultivators. Those lucky enough to activate their shields were able to preserve their lives, but those who didn't fall lifeless on the ground with either their heart or head being punctured by the pebbles.

Because Jester felt elated and indulge himself in killing he didn't know how many he has already killed. But suddenly his eyes caught a figure lurking in the shadows. He was astonished as he didn't expect to see from his spiritual sense that the figure is a woman. What astonished him more is that the woman doesn't have any arms, or rather her arms were recently cut off judging from the cloth wrapping each of her them.

If the woman didn't move, then he would have missed her presence. But since he already found her, he decided to check her out. And so with a flicker, Jester's figure suddenly disappears from the place he floating and suddenly appear high atop the tree where the young woman is hiding.

"Kekeke… a small pretty rat. Interesting… hmmm… you're… there is something strange with your body… could it be that… You! You have a dual soul vessel body. Kekeke… If master knows about this then he would be happy. With you, our mistress can once again revive in this world." Jester said in glee.

He didn't treat the woman as a threat to him as he started to dance awkwardly in the air.

"Come little beauty, let me take you to master now. Kekeke…" Jester said as he extended his hand towards Jiyi who is now petrified in fear.

She now hated her decision to follow the handsome young man who is currently standing next to her. What she didn't understand is that the man they called a devil cultivator seem to not see the young man standing beside her?

Before Jester's hand could reach, Jiyi, a sword with its scabbard on slowly extended and tapped his wrist.

This made Jester almost jump in fright. Though he practices soul corruption and ghost manipulation as a devil cultivator, his spiritual eyes are well developed and can always detect ghosts or apparitions. But what he realized is that the person, who suddenly appears beside the young woman, is a young man wearing a cloak with colored patterns on them.

"Who?!" Jester unconsciously asked.

"You cannot touch her. She is mine." The young man who is Shin Jiao said in a serious tone.

When the young woman heard Shin Jiao's words, she immediately blushed.

She didn't know if she is very lucky to find a guy as kind and as handsome as Shin Jiao is and suddenly claiming her to be his, or unlucky in her situation.

But right now her heart was touched by his gallant behavior.

Unknown to Shin Jiao he has once again involved himself in a messy situation.

"Kekeke… what an audacious fellow. With your low cultivation, do you think you can defeat me?" Jester suddenly laughs as he slowly lifted his hand and sharp claws slowly extended out of his nails.

"Let me show you the difference between our powers. I will take your heart out and eat it in front of her. Kekeke…" Jester said sinisterly.

He is already annoyed at the young man and himself for not seeing him while standing beside the woman. So now he plans to kill the young man to appease his heart.

With a swoosh!!!

Jester immediately attacks Shin Jiao who also made his move.

Arrrggghhh!!!

A cry suddenly broke through the air which made the chaotic battle down below stopped.. Then everyone's gaze turns towards a direction.
