The Geared Immortal

Chapter 136 - The Geared Immortal Versus Zombie Cultivator XIV



The Necromancer: Chapter 2

Two weeks have passed since then and a festive celebration can be felt all over the village. A loving couple is currently standing together in an altar wearing red as they made their solemn vows to each other. All the village people are having a merry time as they laugh and enjoy the wedding celebration.

In a hilltop overlooking the small village stood a simple-looking hut, with a simple fence surrounding it and a small garden where vegetables and herbs are planted. On the window of the hut stood two figures, they are Su Aw and Lingling.

"Ling\'er… I\'m sorry that I cannot give you that kind of marriage. But I swear to improve my cultivation and then we will travel around the world. I will give you more than what we have in this village." Su Aw said as he carefully hugs the petite and tender body of the woman he loves.

"Brother Su, I don\'t care about these things. Just having you beside me is already the greatest thing I can ask. As long as we are together, no matter where we are, our love will stay strong." Lingling said as she leaned her back on the broad chest of Su Aw.

Feeling the tenderness of his wife and her sweet words, Su Aw suddenly feels a sudden surge of happiness swelling within his heart. He can say that he is already contented with his life and his only goal now is to become strong and be able to protect the woman he loves and their future family.

Two months later…

Su Aw and a group of villagers were suddenly summoned by the village chief because near the boundary of the village deep within the forest, the scouts have reported an unusual phenomenon that\'s happening in that place. They say that many beasts in the area are still walking even after they have delivered fatal hits. This is truly a great danger in their village if not taken care of as early as possible.

Ten young male cultivators including Su Aw and six females are sent by the village to stop the anomaly.  One of the female cultivators that were sent in this mission is Mer Li who is currently showing a happy expression upon seeing Su Aw.

"Brother Su, I missed you a lot. You and sister Lingling didn\'t visit the village for a long time. I guess you don\'t want to see me anymore." Mer Li suddenly said playfully while tugging Su Aw\'s robe.

"You know that me and your sister Lingling has moved out of the village for some time now. So I\'m sorry that we could not visit you." Su Aw replied while patting Mer Li\'s head.

When she felt his gentle hand on her head, Mer Li suddenly felt elated, so she just stood close to Su Aw. Then her eyes suddenly turn towards the small hut at the top of the hill in the outskirts of the village and an evil glint appears in her eyes. But suddenly, she saw Lingling\'s happy expression when she is talking to her and when they were together and her expression suddenly changes. Though she is angry that Lingling stole Su Aw from her, her mind is not yet clouded as she knows that Lingling is just a mortal and when she grows old and dies. Then she can have Su Aw\'s heart for herself. And thus she must continue to wait patiently.

As the group set out towards the inner forest, Lingling waved goodbye from the fence as she watched her husband\'s figure disappear through the grooves of trees.

"Take care of yourself, my love." She said as she slowly strokes her stomach.

Then she recalls in her memory how Su Aw fought for her against the village chief\'s command. He decided to live outside the protection of the village and build his own hut. And from then on the two of them live their lives outside the village for a month. She remembers the first night they had together and suddenly a pink blush appears on her cheek.

"Maybe you were made that day," Lingling said with a sweet chuckle while stroking her stomach.

She noticed that her mood has changed lately, but she didn\'t tell it to Su Aw. Today she was planning to tell him that she thinks she is pregnant but she hesitated because it might cause some mental burden for him during his assignment. So she decided to wait and tell him when he comes back home.

Two days later…

The sound of battle can be heard deep within the forest. The group has found the anomaly and is trying to destroy it. It is actually coming from a cave covered in the dark miasma. The leader of their group which is a gold core realm expert and an elder of the village rushed inside to destroy it. But it has already taken him too much time, so the group became anxious.

"Brother Su, I… I think that there is something wrong with this cave. We should go back now and tell the village chief!" Mer Li said as her face shows fear in them.

"Don\'t worry Sister Mer, I will protect you." Su Aw said as he held the small fist of Mer Li in his hands.

This made Mer Li feel warm, as they fought against tide after tide of creatures which smells rotten and should have been dead already, they felt desperation inside their hearts but they push through and never gave up.

As they rushed through the cave while fighting against many undead creatures they finally arrive at the end of the end it. Su Aw saw the standing figure of their group leader and immediately ran towards him. But then he noticed his bloody appearance. It seems that something has bitten their leader and took a large chunk of meat from his neck that it barely stood still.

Seeing this scenario, Su Aw was dumbstruck. He didn\'t expect that they would encounter something like this. Something so strong that even a gold core realm expert is unable to handle it himself. But before Su Aw could think he suddenly saw their leader flashed and appear right in front of his eyes. Then a vicious-looking claw immediately outstretched towards his neck. When Mer Li saw this she immediately shouted in concern.

"No!!!" then she just let her body move on their own and dashed towards their leader who looks like a walking corpse.

She immediately swings her sword towards their leader\'s torso. This attack of her is without killing intent and her purpose is to disable the halt the attack of the creature which was once their leader. But before her sword could touch his body, he swings his arm towards her sword and parries it with his claws.

Meanwhile, Su Aw tilted his neck and evaded a fatal strike, but was still wounded.

When their leader saw the blood on its claws it slowly move it closer to its mouth and slowly licks the blood which came from Su Aw. Then it closes its eyes as if trying to savor the taste of the blood.

Seeing this, Su Aw didn\'t stop but instead quickly brandish his sword and swings it towards the neck of their leader.

Before his sword could touch the neck of the creature, it suddenly in a blink of an eye stretches forth his clawed fingers and dug in deep in Su Aw\'s chest.

"Brother Su! No! No!" Mer Li suddenly became hysterical upon seeing the situation.

But then Su Aw\'s sword was able to cut the creature\'s head and it rolled off the ground. Then he heaves a sigh of relief although the claws are still stuck in his chest. Before he could move, he suddenly felt something moving from the claws towards his body. He wanted to move but it was already too late as his consciousness was suddenly assaulted by darkness.

In his subconscious mind, he saw Mer Li trying to help him get up. But suddenly he felt his body in a complete mess and in heat. Without a word, Su Aw actually ravages Mer Li right there and then. She wanted to struggle but a strong power overcame him. Though she was unwilling at first however Su Aw saw her tear-filled eyes and smile at him as she accepted him inside her.

Then suddenly his vision darkens once again. But when it once again comes through, he saw himself running. But it was not his body as it is the body of a woman, it was Mer Li.

"How come I am in Mer Li\'s mind?" Su Aw asked but no one answered as only darkness surrounds him in this space.

The only light he can see is the scenery right in front of him.

But what he saw next made him almost lost his mind.

Mer Li actually went directly to his and LingLing\'s hut. Then she suddenly stops as three figures stood in the garden and the half-naked body of a woman lay in the middle of them, it was his wife Lingling.

The faces of the men surrounding her and their sinister expression were etched in his mind forever. He wanted to shout but no words came out of his mouth. All he can do is cry his heart out as he watches the scene in front of him. Then one of them seems to saw Mer Li and immediately dashed towards her. That day, Mer Li and his wife was ravage and killed by these people. And he could not do anything as he is trapped within this darkness.

And now…

And right now, in front of his eyes, the same young man who has assaulted his wife and led the group many months ago appears. But this time the tables have changed, this time he watches the terrified expression on his once haughty face.

And an evil grin suddenly appears on his face. He now can exact his revenge, he can now kill the people who ravaged and killed his wife and Mer Li.

Su Aw stood from his seat which is made of bones and slowly stretched forth his now decrepit hands and then said in an eerie voice.

"Come now my prey.. Let me taste the bittersweet nectar of revenge."
