Castle of Black Iron

Even if Zhang Tie had preserved his complete battle strength, it was almost impossible for him to defeat a sage-level knight. Zhang Tie had been deeply impressed by the great power of Immortal Heavenly Chaos in the air territory of Yinhai Desert. Zhang Tie knew that even sage-level knight’s protective battle qi alone was disappointing.

The protective battle qi of a sage-level knight combined some power of realm which had nothing to do with space. Any strike on any point of a sage-level knight’s protective battle qi would be easily transferred to the other point and finally be dissolved. This feature alone had already made Zhang Tie’s most powerful kinetic strike ineffective. In such a combat, the mere protective battle qi of the enemy had already dissolved all of his strikes. Zhang Tie couldn’t even approach his enemy; nor could he do any harm to his enemy. What else could he do?

When in Yinhai Desert, Zhang Tie couldn’t even break the protective battle qi of Immortal Heavenly Chaos by his 36.6-ton hammer, not to mention that he was severely injured and had no weapon at this moment.

However, Zhang Tie could defeat a sage-level knight to a certain degree; because he believed in that there was an upper limit for a sage-level knight’s protective battle qi to resist and transfer energy. As long as Zhang Tie’s kinetic energy could break the upper limit of the tolerance of the sage-level knight’s protective battle qi, he would be able to win the combat.

However, it was not easy for him to break this upper limit. If Zhang Tie had a silver secret weapon weighing more than 50 tons and preserved his complete power, he could have a try by clashing against this sage-level knight.

However, at this moment, Zhang Tie could only try his best to escape.

A few days ago, Zhang Tie was chasing after Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu all the way from Dragon Emperor Big Domain to Brokenstars Ocean. In the blink of an eye, the case had been reversed...

’F*ck! This father has been crippled and blind. However, you’re still chasing after me. Don’t you have even a bit of mercy?’ Zhang Tie swore inside, ’These b*stards of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace would never know the meaning ofgreen seats1on railed buses in Class-A cities in Taixia Country. Well, it’s a lame joke. I gotta escape as fast as possible...’

Sage-level knights could fly over 700 miles per hour. It was just a few minutes’ journey for a sage-level knight. As long as Si Dan arrived, Zhang Tie could never escape away from him.

Therefore, Zhang Tie only had a few minutes to escape. At the critical moment, Zhang Tie didn’t even have time to watch his wounds and complain about it; instead, he could only continue to escape...

Thankfully, after over half an hour’s rest on the island and enjoying some coconut meat and juice, Zhang Tie had already recovered his physical strength to a certain degree although there was still no battle qi in his qi sea. What was more, some spiritual energy had already come into being in his mind sea despite the existence of the grey fog. Zhang Tie could already use some spiritual tricks, which were also what Zhang Tie depended on at this moment.

What was more, it was a vast ocean right in front of him. As for Zhang Tie, the ocean to him was what a forest to a fierce tiger and what sky to a hawk.

As a disabled person, Zhang Tie triggered his Kuafu Bloodline and rushed out of the woods in only 3-5 strides. He then came to the beach which was opposite to Si Dan’s flight direction. Closely after that, he rushed into the ocean like a bird, leaving over 100 m long sprays on the surface of the ocean, before diving into the billowy ocean...

In only a few minutes, with a thunder-like sound in the sky, a middle-aged man with a stereotyped face had already arrived above the waters. Gazing at the waters with shiny eyes, he revealed a scornful sneer. Closely after that, he dove into the ocean over 70 miles away from the point where Zhang Tie entered the water like a lightning bolt...

The billows covered the two people absolutely.

...

4 hours later, with a sudden bang, numerous water columns spurted out of the ocean within 1000 m at over 2,000 miles away and reached 100 m high. Before the water columns fell, a shadow had rushed into the sky and fled away as fast as a lightning bolt.

At this moment, being awkward and naked all over, Zhang Tie spurted out blood in the sky the moment he left the water.

2 minutes later, the middle-aged man with a stereotyped look also came out of the water with a long sword in hand as he chased closely after Zhang Tie. Like playing hide-and-seek, soon after this man got out of the water, Zhang Tie had entered the water again. Zhang Tie just didn’t mean to stay with this man in the same medium for too long...

...

At dawn, Zhang Tie flew out of the water where some submerged reefs could be seen above the water for the 8th time.

However, 10 seconds later, the shadow who chased after him had come out of the water too, narrowing the distance to 10,000 m.

Bleeding heavily all over, Zhang Tie who had been exhausted didn’t enter water anymore; instead, he suspended in the air. Panting heavily, he watched that calm middle-aged man with a dreadful pale look. Of course, this middle-aged man was Si Dan the ancestor of Si Clan. However, he wore a mask.

Si Dan also knew that Zhang Tie didn’t have the strength to escape anymore. When he arrived at 1,000 m in front of Zhang Tie, Si Dan stopped as this distance was equal to none for a sage-level knight. Actually, Zhang Tie’s ability to escape overnight when being heavily wounded had already shocked Si Dan.

”Don’t waste time anymore...” Si Dan watched those submerged reefs above the water with a sneer as he said, ”His Majesty said you’ve suffered heavy injuries. Unexpectedly, you could still escape overnight...”

”Who are you?” Zhang Tie asked him while panting heavily.

”Haha, you’ve almost destroyed Si Clan. Don’t you know who I am?” Si Dan looked straight into Zhang Tie’s eyes with a brutal look.

”You’re Si Dan?”

”I will take your head back right now. If you have any will, just let me know...”

”To be honest, I could detoxify the Golden-Soul Rune Virus in your mind. This is also the major reason that your His Majesty wants to kill me. Don’t you want to detoxify it?” Zhang Tie asked Si Dan as he said seriously.

Si Dan became slightly stunned as he asked, ”You know how to detoxify Golden-Soul Rune Virus?”

”Of course...”

”How?”

Zhang Tie panted heavily as he spurted out blood again, ”Let... let me take a short rest first...”

Si Dan watched Zhang Tie with a slight frown. However, 10 seconds later, he changed his face all of a sudden as he slashed his long sword towards Zhang Tie.

What was absolutely out of Si Dan’s imagination was that his long sword penetrated through Zhang Tie’s chest easily. It seemed that Zhang Tie didn’t mean to dodge it at all. When the long sword penetrated through his chest, Zhang Tie opened his arms and caught Si Dan’s arms in a split second as he revealed an odd smile...

Before Si Dan figured out Zhang Tie’s odd smile, all of a sudden, a white light flashed across the sky while a dazzling sun rose up, which was even more brilliant than the real sun which had just come out of the sea level.

In a split second, clouds and mist in the air had disappeared while a huge pit whose diameter was thousands of meters was caused in the ocean by the great pressure in the air. Closely after that, the overwhelming impact wave struck the waters...
