Chapter 138: The Geared Immortal Versus Zombie Cultivator XV

The Necromancer: Chapter 3

/*unedited*/

The huge giant bat-like creature descended upon the town in a rapid manner that caught off guard all the cultivators in the area. It actually crashed directly towards the town hall where the formation was arranged. Upon seeing this, the people inside the town hall began to panic except for a few people who are already prepared to face this. But when they saw the size of the bat that descended rapidly as it fell from the sky, they were flabbergasted. None of them expected it to be this huge and the level of the undead bat is a little high, it's actually a level 5 undead beast.

Shin Jiao himself was shocked but reacted immediately as he dashed towards Ling Ya and Jin Fu's side. And with a flick of his sleeve, he took out a shield-like object in his hand and immediately held it high. Everyone in the hall immediately reacted by activating the trap formation. They are confident of the effect of the formation and that it could withstand the blow from the undead beast.

But Shin Jiao didn't think so, as an array formation expert and a scientist. He can calculate the weight and mass plus the velocity of the beast and compare it with the strength of the trap formation, and the result is a whapping failure.

"Everyone focuses your Qi in the formation, we can trap this foul beast. Go!" the leader of their group shouted.

"Yes, follow the elder! Give it our best shot!" Everyone shouted as they push their Qi to the limits.

When Shin Jiao saw this he just shook his head, but he didn't move. He didn't want Jin Fu and Ling Ya to get hurt because of little Hao'er. So he stood beside them as he adjusted the radius of the shield protection to cover the three of them.

Crash!!! Bang!!!

As the beast fell on the town hall the building broke and rubbles came flying everywhere. The formation that they have set up was miraculously not broken completely, but it now has a huge gaping hole. The undead bat slowly picks itself up and turns its gaze into a room where half of the walls were collapsed and there its amber eyes met with the scared expression of the person inside the room.

Without a word, the undead bat suddenly opens its mouth and a long slimy tongue darted towards the young man who is shaking in fear.

"No! Get away from me! You cannot get me! Father! Father!" the young man shouted hysterically as his eyes are glued to the foul mouth of the undead beast which is slowly opening.

The fear in the young man's heart was too intense making him shiver uncontrollably. Then suddenly a hot stream of liquid drips down his trousers.

This young man is Long Xilong the rotten son of the mayor. In the town of Snowpeach, he is a well-known silk pant who would always try to lord over others along with his cronies. The town's mayor would always pay for compensations to those families that his son has offended and would always clean after his son's mess. He would always scold his son, but since Long Xilong is his only son. Lubo Xilong the mayor would always dote on him.

But before these events started, the mayor's house received a letter which stated the crime of Long Xilong, and how he was defended by the mayor. When they receive that letter, they just shrugged it off as this is a natural occurrence in their household. They didn't bother with those empty threats.

And not long later they started hearing news of people being missing, then attacks of a weird beast which never dies and some assaults on the villages. As time goes by these things started to get worse by the day until one day, they heard the destruction of a small village just on the outskirts of the town. The village is called Yong village.

When the soldiers of the town arrive in the village they saw that the houses have been burned to the ground and corpses littered all over the place. But the bizarre thing is that no corpse of a cultivator is in the area. Only those mortals and children who were badly mutilated are strewn on the ground. Their innocent blood soaked the ground red while their incomplete bodies are all over.

This horrific scenery made the hair on the soldiers' skin stand on end as cold sweat covered their backs. After they reported this to the town, the mayor started a man-hunt for the culprit but those who are sent never came back. And so the horror started…

As the undead beast in a blink of an eye wrapped its tongue towards Long Xilong's body, the young man froze in fear and forgot to use his cultivation to resist.

And in one fell swoop, he was taken by the beast. But it didn't eat him as one would thin, instead, it put the fear frozen young man under its claws as it slowly turns around to fly away.

Shin Jiao saw the whole thing but felt a little hesitant to help. If he moves he might have a chance to kill the undead beast, but the destruction their fight would result is a little unbearable for him. So he just stood there and protected the couple as they were under the rubbles.

"I guess we can't protect the mayor's son." Jin Fu said but his expression betrays his words.

"I myself am reluctant to protect that scum bag." Ling Ya said anger clearly written on her face.

"Let me guess, did he made a move on you Sister Ling?" Shin Jiao asked with a smile.

"That bastard touches my butt when we were summoned by the mayor as I pass beside him. If I never stopped Jin Fu, that scum bag would have already died in the hands of my husband." She replied with a frown.

"Well, anyway... this is a real mess." Shin Jiao said as he spread his spiritual sense outside of the debris covering them.

The dead bodies of the cultivators who set up the arrays are being swallowed whole one by one by the undead bat; even those who are still alive are included. Upon seeing this Shin Jiao wanted to make his move because they might face bigger problems if those cultivators would turn into zombies. But then a hand suddenly held him back.

"Young lad, don't be too impulsive. We have already survived thanks to your shield. If you attack that beast then there would be more casualties in this town. I think its only target is the mayor's son. Those cultivators on the ground are just collateral damage." Ling Ya said calmly.

 But Shin Jiao can clearly see that she too is trying to control her impulse to help. Meanwhile, Jin Fu on the side also didn't move as his fist is closed tightly.

"I guess that beast would be too much for us to handle. Though it is an undead beast however its power is that of an infant soul cultivator a level 5 beast. I might have a way to hurt it, but what about these two." Shin Jiao thought.

After some time, true to his conjecture, the undead bat left the town as it flew up. And after that, no undead horde attacked the town that night. Everyone in town heaves a sigh of relief as tonight they can rest well after such a long time.

As the people in town celebrated in their sleep, a person from a mansion has his face turned solemn. Beads of tears trickle down his face as he drank glass after glass of wine.

When the mayor receives the news that the trap was unsuccessful and instead turn into a tragedy, he lamented at agreeing with the decision of one of the town's elders. But who can he blame now? As even the town's elder, who is also the formation expert of the town, is missing. Many witnesses have said that he died in that clash as he suffers the brunt of the array formation backlash. Then his body was swallowed whole by the giant undead bat.

"Damn it! When… when will the help arrive from the city of Wu?" Lubo Xilong muttered as anger, depression, anxiety, and fear are all etched in his heart.

Then he threw and shattered the cup on his hand to the wall. And then chug down a bottle of wine directly, as if the cup is not enough to quench his thirst.

"My son… My son… I'm sorry… I… I was not able to protect you. I swore that I would kill that necromancer!" he muttered under his gritted teeth.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Then suddenly a banging sound knocks on his chamber door. From outside he suddenly heard a servant's voice.

"My Lord we have a message for you from… from… from a man named… Su Aw."
