Knights' vitality was very strong. Sometimes, commoners would feel it was unimaginable.
Even a commoner fighter might not die right away even if his head was chopped off. In many cases, a commoner fighter might still be conscious for dozens of seconds or a few minutes on the battlefield. He might blink his eyes and attempt to shriek miserably or say something. Even if he suffered an unimaginably fatal wound, a fighter might stand a few more hours in the seemingly impossible situation based on his great willpower. Zhang Tie had seen and encountered the above two situations after experiencing so many battles, big or small.
Commoners could have a great vitality in some situations, not to mention an earth knight.
When the gold-eaten dagger penetrated into Han Yuanhong's body, Han Yuanhong's heart had been broken. Closely after that, Zhang Tie released his battle qi, shattering Han Yuanhong's heart. At the same time, Zhang Tie made a terrifying wound from Han Yuanhong's chest to his lower abdomen with a long sword controlled by divine dominator. As a result, many of Han Yuanhong's guts were broken.
Although suffering such a heavy wound, Han Yuanhong still didn't die at once; instead, he contracted his muscles in a split second and closed the wound. Meanwhile, he released his battle qi tornado and wanted to counterattack...
Of course, Han Yuanhong's counterattack would not succeed. If Zhang Tie still failed in such an easy task, Zhang Tie could just buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Han Yuanhong tried his best to bump against Zhang Tie's face with his head. Zhang Tie ferociously bumped against the back of Han Yuanhong's head with his own forehead, showing Han Yuanhong's iron-body bone which was strengthened by iron-body fruits. Zhang Tie was fine; however, Han Yuanhong spurted out a mouth of blood as he saw stars before his eyes.
Almost at the same time, Han Yuanhong ferociously bumped against Zhang Tie's chest with his right elbow. Zhang Tie calmly endured it without losing a hair. At the same time, a snake-shaped dagger appeared in Han Yuanhong's left hand and stabbed towards his back without even looking at it. However, it was caught by Zhang Tie at once.
Before Han Yuanhong launched the fourth strike, Zhang Tie had heavily bumped against Han Yuanhong's tailbone with his knee. In a split second, Han Yuanhong's pelvis and spine were shattered. At the same time, the long sword controlled by Zhang Tie stabbed into Han Yuanhong's lower abdomen for hundreds of times, shattering Han Yuanhong's qi sea and smashing his lower abdomen.
In a split second, the soul-stirring, cruel and bloody close combat came to an end. Han Yuanhong's final struggle was also collapsed by Zhang Tie.
Although Han Yuanhong's counterattack didn't succeed, Zhang Tie had known that his and Han Yuanhong's location had been definitely exposed during the few seconds when his battle qi tornado rose and disappeared. There were a lot of knights outside Xuanyuan Hill. As long as they caught sight of the battle qi tornado here, the powerhouses of the Supreme Court and knights would definitely rush over here.
The bloody smell drifted in the water.
Zhang Tie instantly moved his feet, causing a large area of mud and sand to fly out of the bottom of the pothole. Closely after that, he activated his ability in water, causing the siphon tunnel of Castle of Black Iron to appear. Zhang Tie and Han Yuanhong instantly escaped far away in water at a speed faster than that of knights.
When Zhang Tie escaped far away in water, he activated his Purgatory Samsara Method. Before Han Yuanhong died and his water chakra dissipated, he started to refine and extract Han Yuanhong's water chakra.
When Fang Xinyi, Beverly and Fiona arrived at the scene, as Zhang Tie had predicted, the knight had been attracted by the mud and sand that Zhang Tie had stirred up at the bottom of the water. At the same time, Zhang Tie and Han Yuanhong had long escaped 60 miles away and stopped among the rocks at the bottom of the water. Nobody could imagine that someone could move so fast in water.
...
Given the battle strength of an earth knight, Han Yuanhong was the most powerful earth knight that Zhang Tie had ever met.
Zhang Tie estimated that Han Yuanhong's battle strength was even greater than that of Old Monster Qi, the demon knight who had been sacrificed by Zhang Tie and Mountain Lifting Hermit.
Pitifully, Han Yuanhong encountered Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's ambush plus the strike of a divine dominator was equal to 2 Zhang Tie in terms of striking power. No matter how powerful an earth knight was, he could only suffer a tragedy facing such a sudden strike.
What was more tragic was that Han Yuanhong didn't know who killed him until his death. He always wanted to turn around and look at Zhang Tie's face; however, when his eyes reflected Zhang Tie's face, his eyes had already lost all the brilliance as if he had died with a grievance.
Before his death, Han Yuanhong felt too depressed and puzzled. He couldn't figure out why he was still ambushed at the exit of the escape tunnel. Additionally, the one who ambushed him was so terrifying. For a split second, Han Yuanhong even thought that the one who ambushed him was a shadow knight. As a shadow knight who had formed his water chakra, he would have a great battle strength in water. Additionally, shadow knights were good at hiding themselves. All these characteristics matched the situation very well.
Han Yuanhong could only see that the arm which was strangling his neck was very young. Given the skin on the arm, it was excessively young. It belonged to a teenager at 16 years old. It didn't even look as thick as the arms of Hercules who were famous for their physique and strength. However, the strength from such an arm made Han Yuanhong despairing. The pure physical strength from that arm made Han Yuanhong feel that there were some earth dragons pulling capstans inside instead of muscles. What made him despairing was that he knew that the one who ambushed him was not a shadow knight, but an earth knight. When he felt that his water chakra had been shattered and drawn away by a powerful external strength, he had heard about such a secret method. It was the secret method of the alchemist demon on the wanted list of Taixia Country who had dominated two human and demon realms — — Purgatory Samsara Method.
Purgatory Samsara Method pushed Han Yuanhong into the purgatory.
Everything that happened in Xuanyuan Hill today was related to the alchemist demon. The one who ambushed Han Yuanhong must be the alchemist demon's disciple or someone close to him. As the alchemist demon had already promoted to a heavenly knight, he would not absorb water-element crystals anymore. Only earth knights could absorb water-element crystals by Purgatory Samsara Method. This person must have met Han Yuanhong before. Han Yuanhong was affected by this person's secret method unconsciously. The effect of this person's secret method might be similar to that of soul-chasing spiritual butterfly. Therefore, this person could track Han Yuanhong's trace. Additionally, this person also knew the secret identity of his father. At the last moment of his life, Han Yuanhong suddenly became clear-minded as he figured out many things at once. If possible, he would definitely send a message to his father by remote-sensing crystal. Pitifully, since he lost his ability to counterattack, all of his remote-sensing finger rings had been taken away by the one who ambushed him. Besides ambushing him, that person was very meticulous and didn't leave any chance for Han Yuanhong to reverse the situation or leave any clue to him.
At the last moment of his life, Han Yuanhong exerted all his strength and uttered, "Who... are... you?"
"Guess..."
The person behind Han Yuanhong replied calmly with a young voice. At this moment, the two simple words carried a bit dark sense of humor more or less.
Han Yuanhong couldn't guess it; neither did he laugh out. Instead, he died with open eyes.
...
In the water, Zhang Tie watched Han Yuanhong who was like a dead fish. Watching Han Yuanhong's dim eyes and the faint shock and painful twist on his face, Zhang Tie's heart became as calm as still water.
"Hehe, how about it? In the end, I still killed you. I forgot to tell you, your brother also died by my hands. Your father wanted to kill me and my family, so I had no choice but to kill you all first." Zhang Tie replied with a faint smile, "You're the second of the three consecutive killings that I've prepared for your family. There's only one left!"
If he was holding a kitten or puppy which was run over by a passing vehicle on the highway, Zhang Tie might feel a bit sad. However, since he witnessed how demons and Three-eye Association turned hundreds of millions of living people into demonized puppets in Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie's heart had already turned cold towards all the lackeys of demons and Three-eye Association. As for Zhang Tie, demons and Heavens Reaching Church of Three-eye Association were like dry firewood without spirituality in front of him. Even if he chopped them into pieces and burned them as firewood, he would not feel any emotional fluctuation at all.
If it was in another place, Zhang Tie would have more time to kill Han Yuanhong without arousing the attention of others. In that case, Han Yuanhong might still be alive. After refining his water chakra using Purgatory Samsara Method, Zhang Tie would really throw him into the bloody sacrifice furnace to burn him as firewood. However, at this critical moment, Zhang Tie didn't have any fluke thought when he ambushed and killed a powerful earth knight in the shortest period. He had to finish the battle as soon as possible in the most vicious and fatal means. The difficulty of catching an earth knight alive was absolutely different than that of killing an earth knight. When Zhang Tie broke Han Yuanhong's heart, Han Yuanhong had already been doomed to die. It just depended on how long he could survive.
Han Yuanhong could survive such a short period was what Zhang Tie needed. The tenacious vitality of an earth knight could provide Zhang Tie with enough time to use Purgatory Samsara Method.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could have a chance to fully refine and absorb Han Yuanhong's water chakra. In Zhang Tie's opinion, he would be lucky if he could refine and absorb half of Han Yuanhong's water chakra.
Han Yuanhong and Han Yuanhong might have taken too many rare tonics. Their vitality is really strong, hahaha... '
If Han Yuanhong had long known this, he might have regretted that he didn't commit suicide at the beginning. (To be continued.)
