Chapter 473 - Out of the frying pan and into the fire (1)

Chapter 466

/*unedited*/

The burden of killing a person and the shadows of death that lingers within one's conscience would almost always break a man's sense of morality and mind. However, it would soon fade as time goes by… that's what they said.

The truth is killing is not the thing that drives a person mad or would have a twisted sense of morality. It is the fear of death itself. Dying the way one has killed another. That is what makes one grows fear, it's all because of the sense of powerlessness.

Then it would develop into a rage that would eat one's soul, and then the senses of morality and justice would go blurry and would turn men cruel.

War has its own way of molding a person; they are either broken or fortified. In Shin Jiao's case, he experienced both he was broken and was fortified at the same time. As he experiences a lot of things in his life he has grown into a warrior that would fight for what he thinks is right and nothing else would matter.

He would kill if he wanted or if deemed necessary and would spare one's life as he believed. He didn't care about any other thoughts only his own.

This is what he has learned as he travels from earth to the world of Gaeus Ro.

And right now, his sense of morality and justice is once again being tested as he involves himself in a war that is stopping him to reach his goal of reuniting with his woman. And though he wanted to immediately finish this, his conscience is once again acting up after seeing the carnage he just did. But it seems that the people around him don't seem worthy of mercy after seeing the blood on their weapons and the crazy look in his eyes.

"Will this lighten my conscience?" he asked himself as he looks at the crazily charging people coming towards him.

"Sigh… I got no time to think. Ending this battle would be the best for everyone." He thought as he once again did the same pose to do the moonshine cut.

Then another silver flashes appear and the mercenaries within 50 meters in radius were all chopped in different pieces. And then the figure of Shin Jiao this time returns to where he was as if he didn't make a move.

These casual movements are terrifying and are now easy for Shin Jiao to do because of his high cultivation level. Although he is only in the 60th sphere, he already feels his power has increased by many folds than before. However, he also discovers that the needed Qi to develop further is truly huge.

He has been absorbing spirit stones and beast core while traveling and no matter how much he tries to absorb it seems like they are just a drop of water in a vast ocean. This only means that to advance further it's either he would absorb a large amount of Qi at one time or just do it little by little every day and let time develop his cultivation level.

Either way, he already has enough time in his hand. In fact, upon reaching the nascent realm his lifespan has already reached more or less 1,000 years.

Hence he can already be called demi-god or half immortal.

The battlefield has suddenly stopped as the people from the mercenary clan saw what is happening behind the lines. Even the cultivator army of the city also saw the situation and the pressure they are facing suddenly turned light.

"Who is that guy?!" shouted the clan head of the Lao clan.

"That… that is the guy who is new in the city and has caused many of my guards to be turned into trash. He was the one I was talking about." Fifi Lao said while there is a clear fear in her eyes.

"Yes... Father that was the guy who eliminated our troops back at the portal area. He is very strong, father. I think we have to attack with all our might to take him down." Jianguo Lao said as he also recognized Shin Jiao's figure.

"Hmm… this would be troublesome." Ming Lao said as he thinks for a while.

"Ming Lao, continue the assault in the city. I will take that man down." Suddenly a cold tone beside him said.

The voice came from a man who looks like he is in his 30's with a long black beard. But in truth, he is far older than the clan head of the Lao clan. It is because he is a nascent realm expert that was sent by the prince. His name is Huabei Chan.

Huabei Chan is one of the personal guards of Prince Linque Ding that he sent to the city of Dongxi. He was sent in this place to prevent the clans and the academies from acting up. With his cultivation at the 3rd level, even if the leaders of the clan and the academies would combine he is able to handle them all.

But the person they are worried about is the headmaster of the Xilu academy. This is because, although the old man is only an infant soul realm late stage, he has the ability and skill to fight against nascent realm experts. This is because his true cultivation is actually in the nascent realms, but due to some circ.u.mstances, his cultivation fell.

The man strode forward and arrives outside of the 50 meters radius of Shin Jiao's attacking range.

Huabei Chan is not stupid. He has seen the power of the skill and dare not to underestimate his opponent.

"Young man, it seems that you have the skill and the power to fight against us… I am here to stop you. So why not we take this to another place, and not involve the innocent?" Huabei Chan suggested with a calm smile.

Upon hearing his words, Shin Jiao suddenly could not hold his laughter.

Pfft!

"Sorry… sorry about that, I'm not used to listening to bullshit…"

Hearing Shin Jiao's words the face of Huabei Chan turn cold.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, your sight is a bit clouded… you call these bloodthirsty, twisted, and perverted people innocent. Then are you trying to say that those people just living their own lives which they have killed are the ones who are guilty? What a twisted person…" Shin Jiao jeered while standing in his place mocking the man.

"Haha… in war there is no such thing as right or wrong. Only the winner is right and those weak and the loser are wrong." Huabei Chan laughed loudly.

Hearing his words, Shin Jiao showed a smirk in his eyes. He suddenly took a quick stance and without another word, did a swipe of his blade to his right side. Doing this just took him one second. Shin Jiao's movements made Huabei suddenly draw his sword. But upon seeing that he was not the target, his vigilance lightened a bit. But he still didn't lower his guard.

However, what happened next made the man's eye turn cold.

This is because a large Qi wave blasted out from Shin Jiao's position. The wave quickly spreads and turns into sharp blades that sweep to Shin Jiao's side clearing almost one-fourth of the whole army. This one move of his immediately shows his cultivation level to the rest of the people watching this scene.

"I knew it! He truly is a nascent realm expert…"

"Che, I already knew that back there when we were fighting at the portal area."

"Haha… these mercenaries have met their match, we can now get rid of these menaces."

"We can now avenge our brother and our families!"

"These evil beings should die! Kill them all!"

The white robe people and the cultivator army from the city exclaimed as they saw what Shin Jiao did. Everyone was elated to have another nascent realm on their side. It is known that the nascent realm expert protecting the city was wounded in a fight after facing the clan head of the Lao and the mysterious man.

"You! You're despicable being! I will kill you!" shouted Huabei Chan as he suddenly dashed towards Shin Jiao in a blink of an eye.

Shin Jiao has been expecting this attack and his heart feels elated. He wanted to see how powerful this enemy is, and from the Qi undulation from the man's body, he can already deduce that the man is a 3rd level nascent realm expert. So he didn't want to underestimate the guy.

Boom!!!

And the two forces clashed a loud explosion rocks the whole area. Everyone within 100 meters in radius was thrown backward as if being hit by a strong gush of wind.

This situation immediately garnered the vigilance of everyone as the fighting have already fully stopped. The people from the city council and their armies took this chance to enter the protective dome and recuperate while watching the two clashing forces. Meanwhile, the mercenary group began retreating as they also didn't want to be a casualty of the two powerful beings clashing together.

"Captain we should retreat!" shouted one of the youth in a white robe.

"Yes, we should go to that place! We can watch this fight over there." One of them suddenly pointed out a tall spire which is overlooking the whole city.

The captain nodded and the group immediately departed to that area.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and Huabei Chan have already exchanged a few blows and clashes of their swords. The area around them is already in a mess.

This is the true strength of nascent realm cultivators, as the starting point of true immortal cultivation. Each nascent realm cultivator can already be considered as a god by mere mortals. With their strength alone they are already this terrifying.
