"Who's that?" Roslav the bodyguard on Zhang Tie's side roared as he picked up a spear and threw it towards the direction of the sound outside the gate.
As Roslav was not a knight, he couldn't sense the qi outside the gate as well as those elders in the Cardinal Elders Committee. As Zhang Tie's bodyguard, of course, he had to launch a counterattack at the sight of an uninvited guest.
Roslav's strike was powerful for a great battle master. However, the moment his spear was thrown out, it had stopped in the air outside the gate of the palace. Closely after that, the steel spear broke into pieces like sand being blown away by the wind under the gaze of everyone else. Everybody in the palace was shocked by this weird scene.
When the spear only had a 30 cm long handle left, the voice suddenly uttered a cold harrumph, "How dare you attack an ant? Here you go..."
All of a sudden, the handle of the spear flew back and darted towards Roslav's chest with a shrill sound. Given its momentum, its power was more than 10 times greater than that of Roslav's.
Everything happened so fast as a lightning bolt. The moment the voice uttered the word "you", the remaining spear handle had drawn a fine fiery line in the air with a sharp whistling sound and arrived at Roslav's chest. Even though Roslav was wearing a heavy armor, his chest could still be penetrated through by this strike and cause his body to explode.
Roslav had no time to dodge it at all. Anyone below knight level, even a LV 15 battle spirit would be killed by such a strike. The effect of this strike could match Zhang Tie's thunder-in-palm skill.
When the short handle was less than 15 cm away from Roslav's body and was about to penetrate through Roslav's body, a clean and delicate hand stretched out and pinched the handle like pinching a bug. Closely after that, the handle was as firm as a mountain.
The shrill sound and fiery light in the room disappeared in a split second. Roslav, who had escaped from the gate of hell, oozed sweat all over as he changed his face greatly.
Zhang Tie watched outside the gate of the palace with a glassy-eyed look as he sneered, "A powerful shadow knight launched a strike against a LV 10 fighter. Is this the demeanor and demeanor of the sacred light chief priest of Sacred Light Empire?"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the others in the palace understood what happened as they changed their faces greatly.
If an earth knight could suppress Ice and Snow Wilderness, a shadow knight was absolutely a deity for these people in Ice and Snow Wilderness. Before the Catastrophe, shadow knights on the top of the food chain of knights might not even come to Waii Sub-continent, not to mention Ice and Snow Wilderness. Because there was no reason for such a powerful being to come here.
In the blink of an eye, the air at the gate of the palace was covered with a misty mist. Closely after that, the misty mist twisted a bit while a figure suddenly appeared in the air at the gate of the palace.
That figure was tall and thin, wearing a bizarre crown-like golden bishop's crown on his head and a set of extremely gorgeous boa silk robe embroidered with countless brilliant diamonds and gems. There were patterns of the sun, the moon, and the stars on the robe. Under the illumination of the lamplight in the hall, the diamonds and gems on the robe flickered and reflected fiery light. It seemed that there was a rune effect on the robe, which formed a brilliant halo around him like the cat's eye effect in the gem, which looked extremely sacred and quite intimidating.
That person looked down at all the people in the palace distantly like how he looked down at a group of ants. However, when he caught sight of Zhang Tie, a strange light flashed across his eyes.
The tidy footsteps of guards in heavy armors and xiphodons drifted over from all directions, causing ripples on the glasses on the tables. All the guards in the palace drew out their weapons at once. Some rows of guards stood in front of Zhang Tie with heavy shields and long spears.
Facing such a powerful opponent, the fighters of Thor's Hammer didn't retreat; neither did the guards of Summer Palace. All the fighters were full of battle intent as they watched that powerful knight floating in the air at the gate of the palace with fiery eyes. They were waiting for Zhang Tie's order. As long as Zhang Tie waved his eyes, all of them would rush forward without any fear.
In Ice and Snow Wilderness, only Thor's Hammer would fight to death; instead of being afraid of death.
All the young fighters who had just displayed their bravery in front of Zhang Tie also drew out their sabers and swords and aimed at that person.
Bishop Maxim and the other clergymen of Ancient God Church also stood up and glared at that person.
By contrast, the elders of the Cardinal Elders Committee didn't respond too fiercely. They just watched Zhang Tie because they knew that if Zhang Tie really chose to fight a shadow knight here, nobody across Summer Palace might survive. As long as these people were swept by the aftermath of the collision between the two knights, very few of them could survive.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the indifferent mirage knight's mouth. The reaction of Mjolnir and the people in the banquet was like watching a farce or a dragon laughing at the struggle of a group of ants.
Zhang Tie slightly raised his hand to stop the fighters of Thor's Hammer and all the others in the banquet. He was reassured by the loyalty and bravery of Thor's Hammer very much. However, at this moment, as he knew the power of the shadow knight, he knew that these people were just seeking for death. Even if all the fighters of Thor's Hammer were killed, that person would not lose a hair. This was the absolute gap between different levels, which couldn't be made up by quantity.
"As a powerful shadow knight, shouldn't Your Excellency introduce yourself first?" Zhang Tie opened his mouth calmly. Actually, Zhang Tie had already known this person's arrival. However, it was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that the crisis brought by Sacred Light Empire didn't end with the extermination of the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire. This person even came to Ice and Snow Wilderness earlier than Zhang Tie. However, he always hid in the dark. This person was the absolute main force of Sacred Light Empire in this expedition to Ice and Snow Wilderness.
The only thing that made Zhang Tie puzzled was that he didn't know what could attract a shadow knight in Ice and Snow Wilderness at all. 'Has the huge bear tribe discovered the piece of God's Star? This shadow knight came here for the piece of God's Star?' Zhang Tie really couldn't think of any other reason in such a short period. '
"What a famous Hua knight Zhang Tie in the knights' world. You could still stay calm in front of a shadow knight at this critical moment. I'm Ockham, the sacred light chief pastor of the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire." That person watched Zhang Tie with sparkling and profound eyes, which contained a bit fierce killing intent and a bit scruple, "I'll give you a chance. As long as you lead Ancient God Church to join Sacred Light Church and pledge your loyalty to me and hand over that immortal space-teleportation equipment, I will not kill you; instead, I will give you the position of throne pastor. This is your last chance..."
Zhang Tie's heart raced, 'Does this person know that I have Castle of Black Iron? Impossible! How does he know that?'
"I indeed have that space-teleportation equipment; but I wonder what do you mean by immortal space-teleportation equipment?" Zhang Tie said calmly as various thoughts flashed across his mind.
"Are you still waiting for the arrival of that heavenly knight?" Ockham's eyes turned dangerous at once as he revealed an evident sneer, "Although I don't know how did you invite that mysterious heavenly knight to destroy the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire, I think that you must pay a high price for that. Additionally, that heavenly knight is not in Ice and Snow Wilderness. No matter how fast he is, he could not arrive here in half an hour. In this half an hour, I could kill all of you and turn the entire Saint Petersburg into a scorched land. This is the price that you ants have to pay for offending Sacred Light Empire..."
As a shadow knight who ruled a large suburb of Sacred Light Empire, although Ockham's battle strength couldn't match that of a heavenly knight, he definitely knew much more about heavenly knights than commoners. Additionally, he didn't fear heavenly knights as much as commoners did. In the final analysis, Sacred Light Empire also had heavenly knights.
What was more, after Zhang Tie exposed his real identity, given Zhang Tie's popularity in the knight's world and Zhang Tie's "family background" which had long been dug out by others, Ockham immediately knew that Zhang Tie didn't have a heavenly knight on his back, whether it was Huaiyuan Palace, his friends or his master. In this case, of course, the heavenly knight who destroyed the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire must be invited by Zhang Tie from Taixia Country. That powerful heavenly knight probably had already returned to Taixia Country. If that person was still in Ice and Snow Wilderness, it would definitely be someone else sitting on the highest seat of Summer Palace instead of Zhang Tie. Additionally, as a heavenly knight, it was not reasonable for him to be the bodyguard of an earth knight in the dark. Zhang Tie was not the crown prince of Taixia Country; therefore, he couldn't enjoy such a special treatment.
After thinking through all these, Ockham the Holy Light Muling chose to launch a strike without demur. This time, the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire suffered a great loss. If Ockham couldn't gain anything after encountering Zhang Tie, he would be a laughingstock.
"You're finding me trouble because of that so-called immortal space-teleportation item. What if I told you that I don't have it?" Zhang Tie remained calm.
Zhang Tie's words sounded like the worst lie to Ockham as he burst out into laughter, "Don't tell me that you could produce over 100,000 people's drinking water for a few months in the underground relics every day. The so-called manifestation of God's will could only cheat idiots. You'd better not do that in front of me. I've demonstrated the same God's will over 100 times in my life …" Ockham licked his lips as he watched Zhang Tie with greedy eyes, "As long as I calculate the quantity of drinking water that you produced through the so-called God's will, I will know that you're carrying an immortal-level space-teleportation equipment. Besides that, what else is worth me coming to Ice and Snow Wilderness?"
Zhang Tie was enlightened as he finally understood the real purpose of Sacred Light Empire by dispatching troops to Ice and Snow Wilderness. Of course, the so-called revenge was just a lie. However, the poor guy of Sacred Light Empire that was killed by Zhang Tie provided an excuse for Sacred Light Empire to dispatch troops to Ice and Snow Wilderness. As for Ockham, land, gold coins and population were all sh * t. He could get as many of the same things in Sacred Light Empire. What a shadow knight really cared about and attracted his greedy eyes were only powerful secret items that he could use...
In Zhang Tie's mind, Ockham the Holy Light Priest was both extremely cunning and extremely stupid … (To be continued)
