After moving his eyes away from the plaque, Zhang Tie moved a few steps forward and stood in front of the two gates. After putting his hand on the gates, Zhang Tie sensed that the two 10-m higher metal gates were made of abyss iron, which could even match his Chaos. Even in the Lion Fortress, the equipment and weapons made of abyss iron were supplied to knights.
The two metal gates were tightly closed and locked. There was even a manual bolt behind the gates. When Han Zhengfang entered it just now, the gates had been completely locked by Han Zhengfang. Basically, nobody else could enter it from the outside.
However, Zhang Tie was definitely not one of them. With lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie could clearly see the structure of the internal lock of the abyss iron gates.
The lock of the gate was a 7-star interlocking lock, which was exclusive to Taixia Country. Even if you had the key, you could not open the gate without knowing how to use it. Because the same key could be inserted into the 7-star interlocking lock at 7 different depths. In each depth, the key should be rotated in a very precise direction, degree and number of laps. Only after 7 times could the lock be opened. Just now, Han Zhengfang used the key to open the gate.
Only after observing it for a short while, Zhang Tie had already known this 7-star interlocking lock very well. However, Zhang Tie didn't start it right away; instead, he took in a deep and slow breath and started to prepare for launching the attack.
He took out a gold-eaten dagger from Castle of Black Iron, a long sword which had long been a real silver secret item, a heavy hammer which he gained from the Earth-elements Realm. After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie took out a dagger which was a silver secret item. After having the four weapons float on his side, Zhang Tie prepared to open the gate.
The moment Zhang Tie ran his ability as a divine dominator, the 7-star interlocking lock of the gate of Canglan Palace of Bloody Soul Temple had been opened at an extremely low speed. After the lock was opened, a metal manual bolt behind the gate floated up silently.
The two gates slowly opened like two feathers, revealing the interior of the Canglan Palace of Bloody Soul Temple in front of Zhang Tie.
The inside of the temporary imperial residence was ten times more luxurious than the outside. The entire surface of the temporary imperial residence was paved with top-quality ninth-grade crystals. There were several buildings made of gold. The entire temporary imperial residence was as big as a football field. It was not the Eternal Fluorite that illuminated the temporary imperial residence, but the luminous pearls that were inlaid everywhere. Behind the square of the temporary imperial residence, there was a huge blood pool with a diameter of 10 meters. In the middle of the blood pool, there was a huge black crystal coffin. Around the blood pool and the huge black crystal coffin, there was a layer of golden runes that were flickering with a strange brilliance.
At the sight of this place, Zhang Tie thought of bloody sea. However, this place was much smaller than bloody sea. Additionally, there was only one person in the crystal coffin.
Han Zhengfang was lying in the black crystal coffin. His entire body was soaked in a thick layer of blood, as if he was asleep.
The distance between the gate and the black crystal coffin was about 70 m. Zhang Tie didn't enter it right away; instead, he just stood at the gate. It was a risk. Zhang Tie didn't know Han Zhengfang's current situation; however, he had witnessed Han Zhengfang's battle strength in Xuanyuan Hill. Han Zhengfang's battle strength was far greater than that of a shadow knight. At the sight of Han Zhengfang's performance, Zhang Tie instantly recalled his master Zhao Yuan. Han Zhengfang must have concealed his battle strength as the finance minister. This master of Heavens Reaching Church might have long promoted to a heavenly knight.
Usually, an earth knight could never defeat a heavenly knight even though Zhang Tie had the ability of divine dominator. Zhang Tie would not hit a rock with an egg. However, it was special this time. When Han Zhengfang fought Meng Shidao; especially when he escaped from the grey mist and Xuanyuan Hill, he had used secret methods consecutively. As a result, Han Zhengfang was definitely in his weakest and most defenseless state.
Facing such a terrifying enemy, Han Zhengfang was a rare opportunity. As long as he missed it, he would not have the second chance. Even though he had to take a risk, Zhang Tie had to have a try. If he dared not launch a strike at this moment, he would be too cowardly.
Zhang Tie had already determined that he would kill Han Zhengfang at the cost of his life. If he didn't kill this enemy who had framed him and intended to hurt his family members time and time again, Zhang Tie would not be able to sleep well.
Finally, all the thoughts in his mind turned into a strong killing intent as Zhang Tie roared, "Go to hell …" as he launched a strike.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The distance of 70 m was equal to face-to-face for knights and divine dominators. After Zhang Tie uttered the word "kill", his sound spread 340 m per second in the air. Zhang Tie's first wave of attack reached Han Zhengfang's bloody pool earlier than this roar.
A grim hammer weighing several tons, which was a silver secret item, descended from the sky and heavily hit the black crystal coffin where Han Zhengfang was lying like a lightning bolt.
This heavy hammer was acquired by Zhang Tie from the demon knight of Augulas Clan in the Earth-elements Realm. As a silver secret item, this heavy hammer was naturally attached with two powerful striking skills which could even frighten knights. Its first striking skill was shattering strike. Zhang Tie had tried the shattering strike ability of this huge hammer. In Castle of Black Iron, he forcefully smashed a gold brick with this huge hammer. Being struck by this heavy hammer, the gold brick was broken into pieces.
Gold was the most ductile metal. One gram of gold could be extended into a large piece of gold foil by a craftsman. Now that this secret heavy hammer could break a gold brick into pieces, it was not hard to imagine how powerful it was when it hit a human body.
The second striking skill of the heavy hammer was lightning damage. As long as it hit a living being, besides the physical damage of the shattering strike, it would also cause lightning damage, which would numb all over and slow down one's movement. Zhang Tie tried it on himself. Of course, he didn't use his full strength; however, the shattering strike effect of the huge hammer still broke his shield into pieces. Closely after that, the lightning damage passed to his body through the shield, causing his hair to stand up and his body to be numb for quite a while.
The terrifying shattering strike plus the lightning damage effect which could slow down one's movement was definitely a perfect match for this silver secret item.
The real weight of the huge hammer was 6.8 tons. The length of the huge hammer was longer than 3 m, which was a bit taller and sturdier than Zhang Tie's incarnation. As a result, Zhang Tie felt a bit strenuous to manipulate it with the ability of divine dominator. The consumption of such a huge hammer was almost 100 times that of common weapons. Although Zhang Tie had gained many silver secret items in the Weapons Mountain in hieron ruins, none of them could match this silver secret item that he got from the knight of Augulas Clan which was inherited by an ancient demon prince in terms of striking ability.
Zhang Tie had seen this virtual image of a silver secret item before. It was hundreds of meters high with two huge tusks longer than 10 m. Being covered with scales, it looked like a far-ancient mammoth beast. Each of its four feet was like a huge pillar supporting the sky. When it stomped down, it would cause an earthshaking and a mountain shaking.
The surface of this huge hammer was similar to the footprint of the virtual image of a silver secret item. The two tusks of the virtual image of a silver secret item seemed to have turned into two spikes on the top of the huge hammer.
This huge hammer was the real Thor's Hammer.
When Zhang Tie's huge hammer was less than 1 m away from the coffin, Han Zhengfang abruptly opened his eyes with a dumbfounded look. Han Zhengfang had not imagined that he could be raided here even in his dream.
However, it was too late. Given the striking speed of a divine dominator, Han Zhengfang couldn't escape at all on this occasion …
The black crystal coffin was shattered into ashes in a split second like a matchbox being put under a forging press in a factory. When the crystal coffin was shattered, the red liquid in the bloody pool flew into the air and turned into numerous round liquid particles due to the great pressure …
The heavy hammer hit Han Zhengfang's chest without any fancy moves. If there was a big rock on Han Zhengfang's chest, it would be a standard Jianghu performance of breaking a big rock on the chest.
Han Zhengfang was directly pushed into the ground while the crystal bricks on the ground of the Canglan Palace of Bloody Soul Temple cracked and shattered at the same time …
At the same time, the gold-eaten dagger and the other two silver secret items firmly locked onto Han Zhengfang's body. Less than 1/100th of a second later than the huge hammer, two of the three weapons had penetrated through Han Zhengfang's heart and lower abdomen.
Zhang Tie's third strike arrived in the next hundredth of a second. A berserk dragon in the shape of battle qi directly hit the deep pit caused by the huge hammer.
The entire Canglan Palace of Bloody Soul Temple quaked in a split second as it was suffused with smoke and dust.
In the suffusing smoke and dust, naked Han Zhengfang slowly floated up from the bottom of the huge pit in the bloody light of a red protective battle qi.
With disheveled hair, Han Zhengfang was covered with blood all over. A large part of his chest had collapsed. His skin was covered with dense cracks and blood wisps which could only be seen on tortoise shells. Like a ferocious ghost, he was still holding Zhang Tie's gold-eaten dagger.
The gold-eaten dagger was pointing at Han Zhengfang's right eyeball, which was quivering and struggling like a terrifying poisonous snake being pinched by Han Zhengfang. Just now, if Han Zhengfang didn't hold the gold-eaten dagger, it would have penetrated through his eyeball and broken his brain.
At this moment, Zhang Tie had already entered the Canglan Palace. Han Zhengfang watched Zhang Tie in grim black battle armor with bloody eyes as he roared, "Who are you … who the hell are you …"
It seemed that Zhang Tie didn't hear Han Zhengfang's words. He just watched the gold-eaten dagger in Han Zhengfang's hand and his body as his pupils shrunk abruptly.
Han Zhengfang's situation was out of Zhang Tie's imagination. The dagger didn't penetrate through Han Zhengfang's heart. At the most critical moment, Han Zhengfang forced his heart to contract and tilted to one side. Therefore, he avoided the strike that penetrated through his heart. So did the wound on his lower abdomen. Although Han Zhengfang's body was penetrated through twice, the two wounds were not severe for a knight. At least, they wouldn't kill him.
In just the blink of an eye, Han Zhengfang controlled his muscles, meridians, and skin, causing the two wounds to close up tightly, and there was no more bleeding.
Even the most lethal gold-eaten dagger was tightly held by Han Zhengfang; therefore, it failed to penetrate into Han Zhengfang's brain.
It was Zhang Tie's first strike that caused the greatest harm to Han Zhengfang. With that strike, Han Zhengfang's skin, bones and guts had been cracked.
At this moment, Han Zhengfang's qi was that of a shadow knight. Compared to what Zhang Tie saw and sensed in Xuanyuan Hill, Han Zhengfang's overall battle strength seemed to have declined by one realm. This might be the price that Han Zhengfang had to pay for breaking through to Xuanyuan Hill.
Zhang Tie felt that Han Zhengfang was right. At this moment, Han Zhengfang had indeed declined from a heavenly knight. Although the secret method of Bloody Soul Temple was extremely powerful, all the secret methods had a price. A heavenly knight who had not completely formed his fire chakra pushed himself to a semi-sage level knight by using a secret method. As a result, his wind chakra which he had already formed collapsed.
It was like taking an overbearing aphrodisiac. In a short period of time, you might become a mutated beast; however, after the effect of the aphrodisiac, you would have to pay a great price. The fiercer the aphrodisiac was, the greater the sequela would be and the greater the compensation would be. Especially when Han Zhengfang escaped from Xuanyuan Hill, he suffered a great loss of his vitality. He almost couldn't fly to Canglan Palace. However, in that kind of situation, Han Zhengfang had no other choice than to lose his life, even if the price of the secret technique was a drop in rank and a great loss of vitality.
Han Zhengfang had not imagined that he could be raided in Canglan Palace.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that Han Zhengfang still had the great battle strength of a shadow knight. As a result, he could only achieve half of the effect of the first round of attack.
The current situation was somewhat out of the expectations of the two of them.
"Who're you?" Han Zhengfang glared at Zhang Tie as he roared for the second time. At the same time, his battle qi of a shadow knight expanded in a split second.
No matter how weak a shadow knight was, he was still a shadow knight. His battle strength and dignity couldn't be profaned by common knights.
"Go to hell …"
Zhang Tie's boiling killing intent condensed into a decisive battle intent. Han Zhengfang's battle qi didn't scare him; instead, Zhang Tie became boiling all over. 'Shadow knight? So what? This father will kill a shadow knight today.' In Han Zhengfang's roar, Zhang Tie roared as he rushed towards Han Zhengfang like a fighter who was fighting with bayonets. At the same time, he launched an attack, punched out and drew out his sword …
'When enemies meet on a narrow road, the braver one wins!'
This was Zhang Tie's firm belief, which had been engraved in Zhang Tie's mind since he joined Iron-Blood Camp …
