Chapter 704: The Borderland Skirmish (2)

(Unedited)

…

While stealthily following the young woman in tattered clothing and the blue figure from the Zith'ra race, Shin Jiao has already noticed the young woman sneakily holding something in her hand. To those who are not familiar with it, they would just assume that the thing she is holding is her weapon.

However, Shin Jiao could clearly see the liquid substance inside of the syringe. As he calmly watches the chase until the blue being caught the woman he saw a determined look on the woman's face. Then he saw her giving it all her strength and plunge that syringe in the blue being's leg when it suddenly turns its attention towards him.

Using his acute vision, Shin Jiao could not see the energy fluctuation in the body of that blue being. From having the power of a lord, it suddenly plummeted down to level 79 which is equal to a peak gold armored protector's power.

Yet it didn't stop there. The power level of the blue being with a lizard's face continues plummeting until it reaches level 77, according to Shin Jiao's estimation.

This event made Leth panic a little as he could feel the strength in his body leaving him.

He suddenly glared at the young woman on the ground that is already unconscious. Due to the poison from his tongue, the woman has already fallen unconscious.

However, he still has another opponent, and that is the handsome young man above the tree.

"Who are you and why are you here?" asked Leth in a runic language while calmly looking directly at Shin Jiao.

"…"

Shin Jiao did not answer him and just jumps down from the tree. He then calmly observes the blue being and a smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing the smile of the handsome man, Leth's eyes glowed with interest. He suddenly wanted to get this young man. From his experience in catching human immortals, he has already had a taste of their flesh. He knew that they tasted wonderful. However, the scent that he could smell from the young human in front of him is different. The aroma is a bit intoxicating.

Suddenly as if by impulse, Leth pushes the ground and his figure dashed towards Shin Jiao. He extended his hand wanting to grab him in one go.

As his figure drew closer, Shin Jiao suddenly moved and disappear from his spot. This made Leth stopped from his tracks.

He looks to his left and right but saw no one.

"Tsk… This poison is not that fatal… you wanted to capture her?…" a voice coming from behind him suddenly made Leth a bit surprised.

Shin Jiao is also talking in a runic language.

"How?... You… you are a strong warrior from the human race… Hehe… I want to duel with you. Winner takes all… I will have you if I win." Leth suddenly said with a sinister smile on his ugly face.

"All right, there is no use giving out rules in this place…" Shin Jiao said as a long black katana suddenly appear on his hand.

Seeing the appearance of the weapon, Leth's eyes glowed in surprise and interest. He knew that humans have a lot of novel things, curious artifacts, and unique weapons that look ordinary but contains great power.

Hence he now wanted to capture this human to get his secret. If he could get the things this human has, then he would surely become stronger.

"I am Leth, one of the minor demi-gods in Zith'ra clan. You have piqued my interest, I will now fight you seriously."

"I am Si Ji of the human race…" Shin Jiao said with a smirk.

He is not that stupid to tell his opponent his name. Not unless he wanted to expose himself for his entire possible enemy to see. As a former spy along with his now vast experience in another world, he has now become cautious of his opponent.

The hand of Leth suddenly transformed into a weapon. His fingers turned into claws with a silver metallic gleam.

Then the bluish smooth skin on his body suddenly turned into blue scales which serve at Leth's armor.

Though he is a bit worried that his power level has suddenly dropped down, he is still confident to fight against the human as they seem to be on the same level judging from the human's physique. As his usual attitude in a fight, he would not underestimate his opponent.

With his preparation complete, Leth suddenly dashed and appear in front of Shin Jiao. With a swipe of his sharp claws, he wanted to directly hit Shin Jiao's vital spot.

Clang!

His claws hit a metallic object and his attack was parried.

Before he could regain, he saw the gleaming blade rushing towards his neck. Leth immediately feels the danger and subconsciously shifted his head while raising his other hand to block the weapon.

However, he suddenly feels that something is wrong when the sharp edge of his enemy's blade touches his claws. Although the enemy is just using a simple strike to attack him, he could feel it. Even without the Dao laws incorporation into this simple attack, he feels his claws are actually being sliced.

Swoosh!!!

With the sound of a blade going straight towards the side of his face, Leth feels an ominous feeling in his heart. But before he could recover, he suddenly feels a stinging pain in his left ear. Then bluish blood suddenly spurted out of his severed ear.

Aaarrgghhh…

Leth cried in pain as he put his left hand to cover the severed ear. On the ground, a bluish sharp scaled ear lay on a small pool of blood.

Before Leth could recover, Shin Jiao did not hesitate and directly attack him once again. But this time, Leth jumps back.

This made Shin Jiao heaves a sigh of relief. This is because the two are fighting close to the woman and he subconsciously did not want the unconscious woman to be hurt.

In the forest, a bluish scaled figure is being chased by a human wielding a black katana. Each clash the two made would flatten the ground and turn their surroundings into ruins of broken trees and rocks.

Although Leth is powerful, yet due to his wound and being weakened he was not a match for Shin Jiao.

Soon, Leth suddenly found his surrounding rolling and saw a headless body standing behind a young man wielding a black weapon. Before he could react, he soon found his consciousness fading.

After taking care of the enemy, Shin Jiao immediately went back to the unconscious woman. He could see that Leth has poisoned her body with a compound that has a paralyzing agent and more. He could even feel his temperature rising.

Shin Jiao right at this moment, did not hesitate and immediately accessed his poison essence and quickly unlocks it.

With his poison essence unlocked, it immediately works by absorbing the new and unique compound on the woman's body.

It took him around 5 minutes before the absorption and refining were finished. It took a bit of time because, in the immortal land, Shin Jiao should not be able to use any of his power. But ever since reading the books that Geun Man left him, he has learned a lot in these two years of constant study and learning.

He even learned how to control the universal energy in the air and did not have to consume food any more due to this discovery.

But the greatest thing he has learned is the unlocking of his potential and the things inside his body. He has discovered that he could now use the essences he has obtained. However, he also discovered that the black dragon staying inside his dantian is already gone, which is truly baffling to him as he remembers hearing that damnable being's voice once before.

After absorbing the poison on the woman's body and healing her wounds, Shin Jiao stayed with her and waited. If he wanted to learn about the place he is in right now, he needed to ask her for some information.

While waiting, he took out a pair of glasses and put them on.

With the glasses on, he could see an interface in front of him.

'Initializing…'

'Central is now online… checking status…'

'Status is… perfect.'

After seeing his status and the program he has installed in the glasses finished initializing, Shin Jiao then proceed to test the glasses and their capability.

With the woman lying on the ground, he began scanning her for possible internal wounds. But as soon as he did so, he suddenly saw the pale white skin in front of him. Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback but did not linger as he began scanning inside her body.

Using the glasses, he was astonished to see what's inside an immortal's body. The woman's body looks like a normal human body with veins and muscles, but instead of blood, a glowing golden light travels all over her veins.

He was thoroughly immersed in studying her physique that Shin Jiao did not notice the young woman's long eyelashes suddenly fluttering. He was truly interested in seeing an immortal's body for the first time. Though he has tested the glasses in the forest before as he looks at the beasts and those shadow creatures, yet it is different when looking at another human.

So he was thoroughly engrossed at the scene in front of him and as usual, he has suddenly forgotten his surroundings once again.

With an expression of studying her physique, Shin Jiao suddenly noticed the young woman's heart beating a bit faster. As the golden energy flow faster in her body and they even gather towards her head, he was a bit surprised with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

But then something dawned into him. The energy flow in the woman's body, it was as if she is… nervous.

Upon realizing this, Shin Jiao turned off the glasses function, and then he saw a pair of beautiful deep brown eyes staring directly at him. Although, the expression on the woman is a bit attractive, yet he knew that she is very angry.

And upon seeing this, Shin Jiao subconsciously gulped.
