The Geared Immortal

The gate part 3

/*unedited*/

While fighting the demon, Shin Jiao has only one goal in his mind. And that is to finish everything as quickly as he can after assessing the real strength of the demons in from the other side. This is because Shin Jiao needs to know about the other continent. One of his goals, when he was accidentally transported to this land, is to explore the planet and know everything about it.

When he discovers the existence of the mages, he really wanted to go and visit that continent and know about it firsthand.

While on Earth he has seen movies and books about mages and their peculiar abilities which made Shin Jiao feel interested in that kind of civilization. So now that he has a chance to open a gate towards that place, he would grab this chance. Although the alternative is to travel by sea, yet that alternative is too dangerous as the vast ocean of this planet is as chaotic as the planet itself.

The fight became messy as ruins and debris of the stage were scattered everywhere. Even the cultivators have already jumped out of the stage and the figure of Shin Jiao and the huge demon are the only ones on it. The demon has already jumped on the stage and had made a huge mess out of it.

But suddenly Shin Jiao's figure disappears and suddenly appears on the demon's shoulder.

Then it suddenly tried to swat him like a fly.

But to everyone's surprise, the demon's hand was actually blocked. Shin Jiao decided to fight back as he has already assessed the strength of his opponent. Although its strength is greater than Shin Jiao's by a whole realm, however, this is due to the innate ability of the demons to quickly grow and never needed to exert too much of an effort just to be strong.

"It's time to end this." Shin Jiao muttered to himself.

Then he quickly stretches forth his hand and a long black katana sword appears on his hand.

When the demon saw this, its face suddenly contorted in anger.

It could not believe that the human whom it was fighting is actually not being serious. This made it mad and all the reasoning that it gained was immediately replaced by its demonic nature.

Growl!!!

The demon growled as its body suddenly changes in size. Smoke began to rise from its body as its physique slowly becomes shorter and thinner.

This made every cultivator in the stadium who is watching this fight immediately look in attention and began to move in a defensive stance. Although they are not sure what the demon is doing however if there is a chance that it would try to escape then everyone would immediately band together to attack it.

Right now, every one of them already knew the strength of the demon. So they are not going to look down on it.

As the demon steadily transforms into something more sleek and thin, Shin Jiao observes the changes in its body's mana flow. He can see that the natural energy or mana inside the demon's body is rapidly changing and it seems that it is trying to compress its power from inside it.

"This is thing is going to do a fast battle with me with a backup." Shin Jiao thought as he can see the changes inside the demon's body.

It didn't know that Shin Jiao can see everything clearly and that he can already know what it is trying to do. With the help of the glasses, Shin Jiao immediately decided on a plan to finish this opponent of his.

"Human, I will show you the power of what we demons can do." The demon said with a clear and crisp voice.

The change in its voice seems to indicate that its physique has already shrunk to half its size.

Then Shin Jiao saw the demon suddenly vanishing from its current position leaving only the smoke which only shows the path it has taken.

Upon seeing this Shin Jiao showed a sneer on his face.

"This demon is trying to fight me in a contest of speed." Shin Jiao though as he suddenly lifted on if his hands and parried something from the air.

Then the demon suddenly appears in front of him with a wide grin on its fanged mouth.

"Keke… you seem to be really good at speed. Then let's see who's faster." The demon said with a sinister grin on its face.

Shin Jiao was bombarded with hundreds of fist-like shadows as he tried to dodge and parry each one of the demon's fist. Because of the difference of their strength, Shin Jiao was forced back a couple of times as they fought back and forth.

"Shit, this thing is really fast and strong. I need to get an upper hand." Shin Jiao thought as he tried to think of a way to subdue his opponent.

Meanwhile, the people on the side were all dumbfounded in this situation. They are clear that each one of them is not a match to the demon. When it comes to strength the demon is truly stronger, but as cultivators, they don't have just strength but also the use of Qi and magic.

Upon seeing this situation, Fey Ouyang could not hold it anymore and decided to join the fight. She immediately strung back the silver bow on her hand and suddenly chanted some words while focusing on the figure of the demon from afar.

But what made her helpless is that the figure of the demon and Shin Jiao are hard to catch as they can only see flashes of them every now and then. And the sounds of rolling thunder from the punches and kicks are making the whole stadium shake.

"This fight is getting out of hand. I didn't expect that youngster to be this strong although he is only a gold core realm."

"Senior Ouyang, what should we do now?"

Some of the infant soul realm cultivators asked Gu Ouyang who is currently trying to recover his strength while sitting in a lotus position.

Then Gu Ouyang looks at the main judge of the tournament and with a tacit understanding the two nods their head and slowly stood up.

Although they have recovered part of their Qi and strength they are not sure if it would be enough to face the demon.

But then suddenly they saw a figure appearing from out of nowhere, thrown like a cannonball to the stage.

Although the stage was reinforced with an array, it was still damaged at that figure crashes on it.

As the smoke died down, they saw a small figure on the ground covered in blood.

It seems that it is already not breathing and there is a large hole on its forehead between its two longhorns.

"That's the… the demon. How? How was it defeated?" suddenly the crowd gasped in disbelief.

They didn't know what had just happened as everyone was just watching the two exchange blows after blows. But then suddenly in just an instant, the demon was dead just like that?

In this situation, no one could believe that a powerful figure like that could be killed by a mere gold core realm cultivator.

Gu Ouyang and the old man beside him have a look of disbelief clearly written of their faces.

"This… How can that young man defeat something like this?" the old man said as he scanned the figure of the demon lying on the stage.

"I don't know, maybe the demon is just really weak." Gu Ouyang said trying to justify what just happened.

"Teacher Ouyang, you might have said that, but we both know the strength that this demon possesses. If any of us could fight this thing with our full strength we might be able to defeat it, but with our condition now, it is hard to tell who would lose." The old man said while shaking his head.

"You are right, but still we must investigate this matter I think this demon is something that we need to be careful of. We might be facing too great of a problem. According to my daughter, behind that gate from before is a horde of millions of those things." Gu Ouyang said while trying to think of the situation.

"Let's just grab the corpse of this demon and study it. Maybe we can find a way to defeat it," the old man said.

Then he signaled the others who are part of the tournament committee who didn't escape to get the corpse. But the cultivators seem to be a little bit fearful of the creature. This is because they did not understand it.

They could not believe that the demon would be able to move and fights like a cultivator even without the use of Qi or even any Qi undulation on its body. This is really making them lift their guard against the demon even though it is already dead.

Upon seeing this, the old man and Gu Ouyang heave a heavy sigh towards the cultivators. They can understand this as the notion of a demon is really new in their eyes. They have encountered demon beasts, but they can gauge those using the Qi undulation on their bodies, but demons are different. They did not know how to see its true power or potential, hence it is making them feel scared and uneasy. So at this time they carefully approached the demon's corpse and slowly wrapped it with a restraining talisman so that no accident would happen to them just in case.

"Sigh, let's just leave it at that then… hmmm… Where… where is the young man?" the old man sighs again as he tried to find Shin Jiao who seems to have vanished.
