The Geared Immortal

Chapter 956

(Unedited)

…

That night, after the whole day of commotion in the city, the soldiers were feeling a bit tired after checking the houses and the streets of the Capital city. Although there are more than 2,000 soldiers that were rallied, the number is not enough to cover every house in the capital.

Hence, they decided to employ the city rats and underground forces to scour the city streets trying to find the person in the wanted poster.

However, it was already in the middle of the night that the search stopped and the commotion slowly died down.

At this time, atop a two-story building, a shadow is carefully watching the scene below him.

In front of him is a large courtyard with many people walking roundabout. Inside that courtyard, there are many servants and armed guards patrolling the area.

The shadow closely watches this scene with a sharp eye observing every movement of the people below him.

After a while, he took out a pair of red lenses binocular and uses them to watch the houses in the large courtyard.

Upon doing so, the infrared images of people came to his view. And from where he is he saw more people inside the houses. In the largest building in the large courtyard, he noticed a few people inside. They seem to be in a meeting.

Shin Jiao found this house after following a group of soldiers when he noticed that they are protecting a noble house.

He did not know if this noble house is also hunting him, so he quietly observed.

After following this group, he saw the man entering a tea shop and meeting another person. From their conversation, he knew that this person is the uncle of one of the young nobles he killed at that time, and the one he is talking to is the father.

Shin Jiao marked the face of the father and followed him to this place.

"Alright, the players are set. Let the terror begin…" Shin Jiao muttered as he turns towards the tallest tree around 500 meters away from the large courtyard.

With a flash of his body, he disappears and quickly appears atop that tree from one of its large branches. Upon leaving the rooftop, he left a thermal imaging device in that place so that he could clearly see the people inside the house as he could not see any people with a distance of 500 meters with the thermal imaging of his rifle. Plus his spiritual and absolute senses only have 100 meters range.

After arriving at the top of the tree, Shin Jiao took out a long-barreled sniper rifle and carefully installed a suppressor.

He then looks at the scope as the computer array connected his vision to the thermal imaging device. He could see those people inside the house but then suddenly when he was about to take a shot one of them waved his hand and a barrier was suddenly erected inside that place.

"Damn, did they notice me?" Shin Jiao muttered.

"No, these people might be doing a secretive meeting and erected an anti-spying barrier. It seems that one of them is a high-level mage… This would not be easy…" Shin Jiao thought as he mulled about what to do next since sniping is not an option at this point in time.

"Let's just do it the old ways…" Shin Jiao said as he hides his rifle and then came back to the roof and take back the thermal imaging camera.

After that, he appears near the side of the wall of the courtyard and saw that there are guards patrolling.

He saw one of the guards walking behind and without hesitation quickly grabs the guard and quietly drags him to the side. With a snap of his hand, the guard lost his life, and Shin Jiao hid that person inside his dimension.

He then takes his armor and puts it in then appears behind the group of patrolling soldiers.

The person in front took a quick glance but did not say anything as he just marches along with the group.

Using his spiritual sense, Shin Jiao found something strange in the courtyard.

"There is a protective barrier…" he thought to himself.

Luckily he did not shot at that time. Because if he did, then his plot would be foiled and there is a chance that his target could escape with the help of the mages in this place.

He did not know if it is luck or providence when Shin Jiao noticed that their group is actually walking towards the large building in the manor. With a wicked smile on his face, he suddenly disappears from behind the patrolling guards.

He has already scanned the whole interior of the building and already saw the group. He appears inside the building without anyone noticing.

As Shin Jiao crept inside he made sure to dodge the maidservants walking and his figure quickly reaches the 2nd floor where the group is having a meeting inside a large hall.

Once inside, he could see two guards standing by the door of the hall. Without hesitation, he quickly controlled two sharp needles using his psychokinesis and made them flew towards the two guards which were unable to react as it pierces their heads.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate to flash in front of the two guards before they fell to the ground. With a wave of his hand, two bodies were absorbed inside his dimension.

While listening inside he showed a faint smile on his face.

"It seems that these people are going to destroy a couple of villages just to make sure to find me. They truly think that people are just ants under their feet…" Shin Jiao muttered to himself with a slightly angry expression.

How could he not be angry when these villagers do not have that much karma as they would just spend their lives in the farms and would only have some bit of karma when casually interacting with their fellow villagers and nothing more?

In fact, if any one of the people inside this room dies, then that would be more than enough karma combined for a whole village.

As he was thinking to this point, a slight smile appears on Shin Jiao's face as he takes out several needles inside his dimension.

In the gap under the door, the needles flew inside the room.

It was no suspense when the room suddenly fell in silence.

Shin Jiao carefully opens the door and in front of him on the table, several people are already lying lifelessly with horrified expressions on their faces.

Upon thinking to this point, Shin Jiao beheaded the leader of this group; he seems to be the patriarch of this noble clan. A level 40 warrior, but was unable to make his move as the needle penetrated his brain.

Shin Jiao severed the head of the patriarch and quickly disappear from the room.

As he walks outside, he noticed that the guards are already running roundabout as if they are looking for someone. With a slight smile on his face, he knew that they have noticed his movement. This is because the patrolling guard he was following noticed his disappearance and because of the tightness of the security, they immediately recognize the threat.

Suddenly, five guards appear in front of Shin Jiao wielding their weapons. Shin Jiao did not hesitate to take out a common sword from his dimension and fought with the guards.

The guards at this time noticed that the person they are fighting is holding a severed head. Shin Jiao deliberately did not hide this as this is part of his plan.

After defeating the guards, he quickly rushes to the front door and meets many more guards blocking his path. A bloodbath ensues and this time more eyes have already noticed Shin Jiao's appearance which has reverted back to his original appearance.

Those witnesses knew that this is the person who killed their young master and the person the royal court wanted to capture.

But they could not do anything as the guards of the courtyard fell one after another in this onslaught of a single man fighting against many soldiers.

When Shin Jiao reaches the front door, he did not hesitate to cover the severed head with an array and threw it on the nameplate of the noble house. The noble house name is Farson and in the middle of that name is the severed bloody head of their patriarch.

Those who could see this thing felt their body tingling with fear. But what everybody fears are the words written below it.

'The Farson family is the first… Let's proceed to the next noble family.'

When those who read these words knew of the underlying meaning they knew that the capital will be drench in blood this evening. The onlookers now knew that the noble houses have offended someone that they should not have offended.

…

Meanwhile, while Shin Jiao is leisurely walking down the street a figure suddenly blocks his path. This figure is holding a long spear scimitar spear in his hand and a malicious grin on his face.

"You are Si Ji, right? I am Grim, the hunter… You should feel honored to die by my hands…"
