The Geared Immortal

Facing the demon queen

/*unedited*/

The force that the demon queen used was enough to pull the rocks in the place. If this strong suction force is this strong, how much resistance can a mere floating pill resist?

However, this is not the situation at hand. This is because the small pill suddenly vanished.

This made the demon queen a little agitated and confused.

So she shouted.

"Find that pill!"

Whoosh!

With this command, the three demons beside her immediately moved and directly flew towards the rocky place where Shin Jiao and Qian Li are hiding.

Unknown to them 'the pill' which is Hun Jingan has already escaped and entered Shin Jiao's pocket.

But right now, Shin Jiao and Qian Li are feeling anxious; this is because the three demons are fast approaching their location.

And in the blink of an eye, the demons have already appeared right in front of the rocky place they are hiding.

"Damn it!" Shin Jiao cursed as his mind immediately think of a way for them to escape.

But suddenly a dangerous thought has entered into his mind.

"Since the demon queen is here, why drag this war too long? If she dies these demons would become a headless dragon and infighting would ensue between them. Then they would destroy each other in the process." Shin Jiao thought.

A while ago, because of a bit of fear of seeing powerful demons and his anxiety for Qian Li's safety made him think of escaping. But now that his mind suddenly clears up, a dangerous plan inside was immediately concocted.

It should be known that the three demons that are approaching him are no more powerful or even more powerful than the demon general he killed a while ago.

From the looks of it, two of them are Grand Knights or equal to a late-stage infant soul forming realm and the one who looks really powerful is a Paladin which is already equal to the nascent realm cultivator.

Unlike mages, the demons are more of a warrior type and it is rare to find someone who can control the elements like mages. The demon king and the demon queen are two of those few demons who can control mana. And there are also some demon generals and necromancers who have these kinds of abilities and they are harder to control.

Although they treat the demon queen as a supreme leader, they still command their own forces within the demon army.

The demon queen which is already an Elemental Lord just stood there nonchalantly as she observes the surroundings. She has received news that there is a place in this land which is full of death Qi, and death Qi is something that demons really wants and can boost their power significantly.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao already took out two pills.

He gave one to Qian Li and took one for himself.

"This is a defensive pill that I have refined. Just hold it in your hands and it can preserve your life three times. If you are hit, try to act like you were blown away and escape. Here, this is a long-range teleportation scroll. It would take time to activate which depends on the range… I will distract them while you escape, okay… Don't worry, I have a plan." Shin Jiao whispered.

A complicated look on Qian Li's eyes appears, but she still nods her head and follows.

As soon as the three demons were about to lift their hands and attack the rocky area, Shin Jiao's figure suddenly flashed towards them.

The three were taken aback and one of them didn't even manage to rise up his guard as Shin Jiao has already sliced up its body in half.

This scene made everyone dumbfounded, even Shin Jiao did not expect that his physique would reach a qualitative leap in terms of power and speed. Right now, his quick movements and shadow steps have become like a flash of lightning and he could appear and disappear in a blink of an eye.

GROWWLLL!!!

The two demons immediately recovered and growled as they quickly attacked Shin Jiao. One of them uses a dual ax and the other one is using a large hammer.

When Shin Jiao saw the two's speed a sneer appear on his face. He is actually not mocking his opponent but himself for being a scaredy-cat. Although he has stayed in this place for a long time and has his fair share of killings just like in the old days, he still could not deny that he has now abhorred those days and now just wanted to live a free life. If he can escape he would and if he could not then he would fight.

But of course, he would still have his old bloodlust and cruelty, which is the reason why he lasted that long as a spy.

The three fought with each other and Shin Jiao slowly adjusted himself to his new strength as he quickly overcame the two with his speed.

In a blink of an eye, they have already fought for an hour and the two demons are already riddled with wounds. But of course, Shin Jiao was not spared as he too has his fair share of wounds in his body.

"You are pretty strong for a human… Serve me and I can spare you." suddenly the cold and ethereal voice of a woman echoed through the air.

Those ghosts in the area who heard this shivered and hid deeper in the cold purplish ground.

The face of the demon queen has a confident look on them as her beautiful cat-like eyes are directed towards Shin Jiao's figure. She has noticed that the human-like any other cultivators have an impeccable beauty of a young man. This has already attracted her attention as in the demon realm she would always be surrounded by the demon brutes that look like a bloodthirsty beast.

She didn't know why when she saw the young man it reminds her of her peaceful days as a human.

"Serve you? Why are you a queen or something?" Shin Jiao asked while chuckling.

He then pops a pill into his mouth as he began to relax, then visible to the naked eye his wounds began to recover.

When the demons saw this their eyes went wide in realization.

In their fight in the front lines, they haven't seen anyone who uses such a medicine. Only their queen insisted that there is such medicine and if they can get someone to concoct it for the demon race, then they would become unstoppable.

Now upon seeing the miraculous effect of the pill, they threw greedy looks on Shin Jiao and the pouch he had hanging on his waist.

"Haha… that's right I'm a queen… I am the demon queen. Now I command you to be a good boy and become my servant!" the demon queen shouted with a sinister smile.

"Hmm… If you want my service then I want an exchange."

"I will let that little girl escape in exchange for your service and life. That would be a great trade right?" she sneered.

When Shin Jiao heard this, his expression changed, as fear suddenly showed in his face.

The demon queen grinned at this time as she already knew that the human is in her hands. Then she flew down to the ground and walked confidently towards Shin Jiao.

When she stood in front of him along with the two remaining demons, she extended her hand and asked.

"Give me the same pill that you just took. I want my men to recover from their wounds quickly."

Seeing the situation, Shin Jiao showed reluctance as his gaze turned towards Qian Li who is still in the process of activating the teleportation scroll. He didn't know why she has not yet teleported to the safety zone in the Dark forest near Crow Town.

What Shin Jiao didn't know is that Qian Li hesitated to activate the scroll while he was fighting because she was too reluctant to leave him. But when she saw that Shin Jiao can take care of himself against the demons, she immediately activated the scroll with confidence in her heart.

But now that Shin Jiao is being threatened by the demon queen because of her, deep regret entered her heart, but it was too late to regret her action. So she can only grit her teeth and wait, hoping that she would not be a hindrance to her man.

"Here… there are five pills in this bottle. That is all I have left for this kind of pill." Shin Jiao said with a great and heavy tone of loss as he handed the pills.

When the demons saw this, they showed excited looks on their faces.

The demon queen showed some doubts in her expression, but upon seeing the ugly look on Shin Jiao's face, she grinned.

The two demons didn't hesitate and extended their hand towards the demon queen.

However, she didn't give them the pills. Instead, she took one and gave it to Shin Jiao.

"Eat it!" she commanded.

"This woman is really shrewd and not trusting others. I guess that's the reason why she is the demon queen." Shin Jiao thought without changing his expression.

He didn't think twice and immediately takes the pill from her hand and eat it.

His body has still not fully recovered and the pill is very effective for him.

As soon as he ate the pill, his body immediately reacted and his wounds fully healed themselves.

When the demons saw this, they didn't hesitate and takes the pills on their hands, and waited for the effect to set in.

The demon queen was a bit hesitant and waited.

When she saw the expression of her two guards, she immediately showed delight. This is because their wounds began to recover.

She then didn't hesitate and also took a pill. Unknown to Shin Jiao, the demon queen is actually wounded, but her wounds are covered by her thick armor. And after taking the pill, she immediately felt its effect which is very soothing for her.

However, their expressions suddenly change.
