The Geared Immortal

Chapter 476

/*unedited*/

With this command, the whole fleet stops attacking the other ships in the fleet and turn their gaze towards the ship that Shin Jiao is in. This made the whole crew of that ship immediately be drenched in a cold sweat. They didn\'t expect that there would be a part of their crew that is this stupid as to attract the enemy towards them.

However, Shin Jiao didn\'t even bat an eye towards these ships. This is because he has already realized the strength of the people after shooting. They are not that strong and the shields in their ships are just mid-level defensive array.

In fact, every ship in this fleet has mid-level defensive arrays installed to them. Although it is able to block a gold core realm cultivator\'s elemental Qi attacks, it is not strong enough to withstand 5 blows from an infant soul realm cultivator\'s attack.

And that is the reason why it was not able to defend against Shin Jiao\'s single explosive bullet.

Suddenly, the enemy fleet fires their spells and the sky was suddenly littered with different elemental Qi targeting the ship where Shin Jiao is.

Seeing this scene everyone in the Si city fleet showed a pale expression on their faces. The nascent realm expert on another ship also showed a helpless look on his expression. He was trying to attract the enemy towards his location so that Madam Su Shanguang could have a chance to recuperate while they escape.

But who would have thought that in that ship there was a fool that did something unexpected? However, the nascent realm expert still feels that there is something wrong. This is because he too felt the strong Qi coming from the direction of the ship and knew that there is a nascent realm expert in that area.

Meanwhile, when Shin Jiao saw the projectiles flying in the air, he immediately lifted his hand and an array suddenly glows on the ground. Throwing some spirit stones into the slot of the array formation, every crew of the ship saw that a golden dome quickly envelops the ship.

"This… this is an array formation…"

"This defensive array formation is different from the ship\'s…"

"How is this possible… this person is actually a nascent realm…"

The crew began to discuss as they saw the Qi in that formation. This made them feel at ease as they now knew that they are being protected by a powerful cultivator. In truth, they are all in tenterhooks when they saw that their mistress was wounded. As part of the prestigious Shanguang clan, the crew of the ship is reliant on the power of their mistress.

But now that a person with equal power appears, then they are now confident of their safety.

When the elemental spells hit the golden dome covering the ship a loud explosion immediately happened and the whole area was covered in a dust and smoke cloud.

The enemy fleet immediately shouted with rejoices as they knew that no ship can escape the bombardment of their fleet. This is the reason why the Si city fleet was defeated by them and those who survive are now being hunted.

"Haha… Showing off your meager power could not compare with us."

"This is what you get for being a show-off… Die!"

"Haha… that\'s the ship with a nascent realm expert, right? They can\'t even stand against our mighty fleet even with that power? What weaklings."

The jeering tone of the crew coming from the enemy fleet was heard by those in the Si city fleet. And this made their emotion turned complicated and their hopes are now dashed by this scene. The death of a nascent realm is a big impact on their force.

It can be seen that a nascent realm is a huge contributor to power in the fight. It can tip the scale of the battle just by presence alone; hence losing one is a blow to their morale.

But then before the eyes of everyone, a couple of silver flashes appear and which was followed by a continuous explosion coming to the ranks of the enemy fleet. These explosions made the hearts of the once proud and cheerful bunch of cultivators turned ugly.

This is because, in that one moment, they saw at least four warships exploding and turning into wreckages and sinking down the river.

Everyone immediately paled and showed horrified looks on their faces.

Because it didn\'t stop there as another batch of silver flashes followed after and this time destroyed more than 5 ships. Now the huge enemy fleet was reduced to just a handful of ships which turned the three nascent realm experts dumbfounded.

"This… how could this happen?"

"This is the great Xu River… How… how could a nascent realm expert draw out such power?"

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"

The people on those destroyed ships could not even swim as they are already being devoured by the illusionary fishes that are swimming everywhere. These fishes would almost always be around ships. They seem to know that being near a human ship means something to eat even without any effort at all. And so the enemy fleet was wiped out with that move from Shin Jiao.

Seeing the retreating warships, the Si city fleet erupted in a cacophony of cheers. They didn\'t know what happened and didn\'t care. All they knew is that they have won and was able to survive this battle.

After that, the ships stopped and began to cluster together. They are not going to go ashore nor go to the docks. Their purpose now is to know who their savior is.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently checking the condition of the woman lying on the bed. He can see that she seems to have been poison. But with Shin Jiao\'s ability to absorb poison, he is not worried about it. That is not until he discovers the type of poison that the woman contracted.

"This is a very powerful and potent poison… it can actually seal off the cultivation energy of a nascent realm expert… What a unique poison." Shin Jiao said in amazement.

But he didn\'t let this chance go and immediately absorb the poison inside the woman\'s body. In doing so, Shin Jiao has expended a lot of time. It was already morning the next day when Shin Jiao got out of the room and stretches his body.

But then he noticed a couple of figures sitting on the table looking at him.

She saw Fifi Lao and two of her personal guards along with some middle-aged people. One of them is actually a nascent realm cultivator.

When Shin Jiao saw the group, he casually nodded his head in greetings.

"Master Ji… How… how is my grandmother?" Fifi asked with concern laden all over her face.

Shin Jiao can even see her eyes becoming a bit teary.

"Hey, stop being too depressed. She is recuperating now. Maybe later or tomorrow she can wake up… I have to go to the capital city and see the situation there." Shin Jiao said.

"Wait… Master Ji… About the capital, I already told them about where we are going. I think you should listen to them first."

When Fifi said this Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the men sitting on the table. Feeling Shin Jiao\'s gaze, the people in the table felt a bit taken aback. This is because Shin Jiao\'s gaze is not as domineering as they thought it would be.

They never have expected that a nascent realm expert could have such a simple aura that one can even mistake him to be a mere mortal.

"This one greets Master Ji…"

"This one greets the senior…"

The people said while cupping their hands in greeting Shin Jiao. This formal greeting from some people which is half of his age older than him, made Shin Jiao cringe deep in his heart.

He just nodded his head in reply to those people and also cupped his hand.

"Master Ji… I am General Long Cailong the navy general of the royal fleet." A middle-aged man wearing a blue and green robe introduced himself.

Shin Jiao already noticed the man because of his cultivation level. And he can feel the stately and respectable aura that soldiers carry from the man and knew that the guy is a soldier. From his own perspective as a fellow soldier, he can feel that the man is like the old general his own superior officer. This made Shin Jiao feel at ease with the middle-aged guy.

"I am honored and please to meet the general. General, if I\'ll be bold to ask, can you tell me the situation in the capital city?" Shin Jiao asked politely.

General Cailong heaves a deep sigh as he began to narrate to Shin Jiao what had happened and the status of the king of Si kingdom. From the narration of the general, Shin Jiao has now grasped the situation which if seems to be very dire.

However, he heard one good news about all of this, and that is the status of the portal. He actually didn\'t care about anything else but the portal as it is his way out of these troublesome matters. And so with a gleam of determination in his eyes, Shin Jiao gave his thanks to the general.

"Thank you for the information, general… But I still have to go to the capital as I have something very crucial to do… So I bade you farewell." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

That morning, Shin Jiao just took the warship he originally arrives and began sailing off on the horizon. He didn\'t take Fifi and her guards and maids with him as she has already seen her grandmother.

With the slowly sailing ship floating farther and farther away from the fleet, Fifi Lao had a strange feeling in her heart.. She didn\'t know why but she felt that she has lost something when Master Ji left.
