Chapter 766 - Night Chase

Chapter 766

(Unedited)

…

Inside the cells, the dust from the crumbling rock wall was all over the place. The destroyed wall that Shin Jiao put up crumbled like mud as the multiple attacks from the gold and silver level soldiers bombarded it.

As soon as the dust cloud was cleared, everyone cautiously looks inside the cell.

But then everyone's expression changes as they noticed that inside the dungeon cell, they could not see anyone.

"What? How… how could this happen?!" Seven Osmond shouted as he pushed the soldiers blocking his sight.

"How could he escape?" Lomark Vale also shouted while looking at the soldiers as if trying to get some explanation.

Then on the wall, they saw traces of sands which made every one of them looking at this scene show an ugly expression.

How could they have let an enemy escape? And the most important target at that… How could they explain this to the high lord now?

In anger, Seven Osmond suddenly threw a powerful slash to the wall.

Bang!

The barrier absorbed his attack leaving Seven Osmond looking dejected. He truly wanted to kill that person and then capture his soul to torture him for eternity.

Suddenly a soldier noticed something on the ground.

"Master Seven, look! There's a trace of blood on the floor… But it's not golden… This is…" the soldier said as he pointed on the wall.

"This… Hahaha… That man is injured. And it seems that he has not received full immortality… Hahaha… this would be easier. If we capture him, then we can fully control him with this…." Lomark Vale said while laughing loudly.

"All of you go out there and chase after him! That guy is wounded and would not be able to run away that far! Go!" commanded Seven Osmond.

With that command, every soldier immediately runs outside and relays the command to the others.

As the night grows deeper, the soldiers of the town suddenly disperse to find the escaping Shin Jiao.

…

Meanwhile, not too far from the town of Gipard, two figures are currently hiding inside a large tree root. Shin Jiao received a strong backlash upon using his teleportation technique as soon as the barrier was suddenly set up.

The backlash made his energy become chaotic and broke a lot of his meridians. It was his own oversight why it happened. He was too confident of himself and looks down on his opponent, that's why this had happened.

Luckily for him, he did not suffer more than just some broken meridians.

The young woman he is carrying has already lost her consciousness as he laid her on the ground and took out some cloak to cover her body. Pity could be seen in his face while looking at her condition.

Shin Jiao took out a pill and immediately ate it while sitting cross-legged on the ground to stabilize his chaotic energy.

Not long later, he was able to somewhat stabilize his dantian and the rampaging energy in his body.

But before he could recover, he suddenly felt something in the air.

He immediately expanded his psychokinesis and 100 meters all around him was shown inside his mind. He could see around nine shadow creatures slowly crouching in his direction.

Shin Jiao's eyes turned into slits as he did not have time to think of any strategies. He immediately activated his armor and his body was immediately covered with his bio-exoskeleton suit.

Shin Jiao's body has not yet recovered, so he is going to rely on the bio-exoskeleton suit to fight and escape.

After activating his armor, Shin Jiao picks up the woman and dashes out of the tree roots.

As soon as his figure dashes out, large and powerful black claws suddenly came crushing the large roots.

Then a panther-like shadow creature's head forcefully enters the hole. However, its target has already left making the creature angry.

Roar! Roar!

It roared in anger as it forcefully tugged its head out of the hole. Then its glowing red eyes darted towards Shin Jiao's direction as it suddenly dashes to chase after its prey.

Shin Jiao on the other hand has already detected the nine shadow creatures coming towards him. He could feel this strong killing intent as they chase behind. Suddenly from the right bush, a large head of a snake pops out, and with its large jaws open wide, it pounces towards Shin Jiao's figure.

With a wave of his hand, a handgun appears and Shin Jiao did not hesitate to pull the trigger twice.

Bang! Bang!

The loud thunder-like sound echoed throughout the forest which woken some of the lumbering beasts.

The sound has attracted some of the shadow creatures which also came rushing towards the source.

The head of the shadow snake was blasted open, but Shin Jiao has no time to harvest the energy core as there are more shadow creatures chasing behind him.

Not long later, another one appears and he did the same, shooting the shadow creature to death while escaping. Shin Jiao could not feel that more and more shadow creatures are chasing behind him. He hid the gun in his ring and takes out his black katana.

As another shadow creature appears, Shin Jiao shifted the weight of the woman in his arms, and using his right hand, he swung towards that creature's neck.

With a slice, he severed its head with ease.

After killing another one, Shin Jiao did not stop running.

After an hour of running and killing, Shin Jiao suddenly found himself on a tall cliff. He could not even see the bottom of the cliff as stood near the edge.

He did not expect to reach this path as he was too busy to fend off the constant attacks from the shadow creatures, and when he noticed the cliff it was too late.

Shin Jiao could sense that more shadow creatures are coming near him. Looking at the pale-faced woman in his arms, he could just not help but heave a helpless sigh. He could not just let her die and be resurrected back into town. It would cause her another bout of torture and she might even break under that traumatic experience.

He did not have time to use the jade plate to reset her resurrection spot. So all he could do now is to escape while tagging her along.

Suddenly from the bushes, a large monster came pouncing out. The monster looks like a 3-meter giant with a head of a stag beetle. Its body also seems to be covered with a thick carapace making it looks like a giant wearing armor.

Its dark body and the gleaming carapace made it looks like a gigantic metal person.

When Shin Jiao saw the giant approaching him, he suddenly swung his blade without hesitation and performed the skill, Perfect Defense Sword.

He waves his katana blade in a very fast motion that it looks like a blade shield has begun to encircle his figure. After he was able to reach his top speed, he lets go of the sword handle as it flew out of his hand and began performing the skill without him holding the katana.

As soon as the giant made contact with the perfect defense sword, sparks immediately appear as its strong carapace tried to resist the slashing blade.

The giant was pushed back but it did not stop its attack as it tries to brandish its huge arms to smash towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao did not let this chance go as he suddenly stops the perfect defense sword and shifted to Moonshine Cut.

The creature was caught off-guard and its large head suddenly came rolling to the ground.

However, the attack did not stop there, that is because right now, Shin Jiao immediately takes out his shield while fending another attack from a large insect that looks like a giant wasp with a long bony tail.

While his sword continuously fends off and kill some of the shadow creature, his hand using his shield to defend against the attack from the other shadow creatures.

"Damn it! I can't hold on much longer if this continues further." He muttered as he began to think of any plans.

Suddenly, the shadow creatures stopped attacking him.

Shin Jiao was a bit surprised as the shadow creatures seem to have become obedient as they slowly parted.

When Shin Jiao saw a dark figure walking towards him and the figures following that guy, his eyes squinted.

He is not familiar with who these people are, but from the special badge they are wearing, he knew that these people are from the Osmond clan.

"Hihihi… You are one resilient being. It seems that you not willing to die… I wonder why that is… a false immortal, demi-god? Hihi… Hahaha…" Seven Osmond laughed with a sinister smile on his face.

"You cannot die… As a false immortal demi-god, your blood is not gold in color and still has impurities. Hence, we can kill you but you will not disappear. In fact, you will resurrect slowly on the spot. This is something that is not known by those who are false immortals demi-gods." Lomark Vale suddenly explained as he takes a step forward.

Shin Jiao truly did not know that this is his condition. In fact, in his time in the immortal land, he only knew one that's just like himself, and that is… his friend Frances Jill.

Now that his long question has been answered, Shin Jiao showed a perceptive look in his eyes. Then suddenly, he jumps down the cliff making the two showed a shocked expression.

"Damn it! Go! Chase after him!" Seven Osmond shouted in anger.
