Ockham was cunning because he could discover the truth of Zhang Tie's so-called "God's will" in the relics through the clues. Additionally, he was good at forbearance and judging the situation. When he knew that Zhang Tie still had the trump card of "heavenly knight", he dared seize the opportunity to launch a strike.
Perhaps, the so-called "God's will" demonstrated by the charlatans of Sacred Light Empire was just a trick that they used space-teleportation equipment as a prop. Therefore, they thought that all the "God's will" were tricks. Additionally, each trick would be supported by a space-teleportation equipment. The greater the trick, the more shocking it was, the more powerful the space-teleportation equipment would be.
Of course, the use of Castle of Black Iron was utterly different than that of common space-teleportation equipment. Zhang Tie had to at least take out the space-teleportation equipment, which existed in the form of an entity. However, Zhang Tie had integrated with Castle of Black Iron. Castle of Black Iron didn't exist in this world. Zhang Tie only needed to use Castle of Black Iron at his whim. Ockham thought that he had accomplished the so-called "God's will" performance with an immortal-level space-teleportation equipment. However, he had already approached the truth by accident.
Zhang Tie was stupid because he believed in his judgment based on his experience too much. Additionally, he believed in his battle strength as a shadow knight. Not to mention that Zhang Tie would never hand Castle of Black Iron to him, what was more, he had forgotten that the world would never revolve around one person. Even heavenly knights or sage-level knights would fall into trouble, not to mention a shadow knight like him. If the more powerful one was, his master would not become a terrifying alchemist demon; Han Zhengfang would still be alive; Emperor Xuanyuan would not be missing. Even these people who were much more powerful than him would fall into trouble. Did he really think that he was unrivaled in Ice and Snow Wilderness and could do whatever he wanted here?
Of course, it was a joke.
However, Ockham's appearance was a generous reward from the God for Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie watched Ockham as he slightly narrowed his eyes, which were as same as Ockham's eyes.
Ockham thought that he had caught a fat sheep; however, he didn't know that he was the fat sheep that Zhang Tie had caught.
After Ockham finished his words, Zhang Tie didn't speak; instead, he just watched him quietly. Zhang Tie's calmness and eye light made Ockham a bit restless.
"In front of me, you're nothing but lowly ants. Don't waste my kindness and the chance I've given you. This is the last chance for you heretics to redeem yourselves. If you don't hand over the item within ten breaths, I'll have no choice but to do it myself. Within ten breaths, you can decide whether you want to live or be destroyed!" Ockham released a powerful aura as he stared at Zhang Tie with his pair of sharp eagle eyes. He would never give Zhang Tie any chance to stall for time and wait for reinforcements to arrive. In case anything unexpected happened, he began to count. "One … two …"
As this powerful shadow knight started to count down without sparing any time for Zhang Tie to make any response or preparation, many people in the palace became intense. At this moment, only the most pious followers of Ancient God Church were watching Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes. These people's confidence in Zhang Tie couldn't be shaken anymore. In their opinion, as the incarnation of ancient god, how could Zhang Tie be baffled by a shadow knight?
The truth of Ockham's so-called God's will was absolutely a joke for Maxim and the other followers of Ancient God Church. Because Zhang Tie performed the God's will under the eyes of over 100,000 people in a desperate situation, it was impossible for him to fake it with space-teleportation equipment. The holy bottle that Zhang Tie used to perform the God's will was still enshrined in the grey palace. How could such a God's will be as same as that of those fakes of Sacred Light Empire?
"Three …" Ockham's icy voice sounded like a judgment of a deity standing in the clouds towards a bunch of commoners.
"In the world of knights, strength is everything. Now that we're both knights, let's decide the result of this dispute!" Watching Ockham's powerful qi, Zhang Tie said calmly, "Even if it's a bet between knights, as long as you could stand there and stay safe and sound, I will give you whatever you want. The entire Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Ancient God Church could also be incorporated into Sacred Light Empire according to your request …" After hearing Ockham's words, Ockham burst out into laughter arrogantly.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Ockham burst out into laughter arrogantly. In Ockham's opinion, Zhang Tie was just finding an excuse for himself. If he could end the current situation through a bet, it would be better than being forced to make a choice. Additionally, it would also benefit Ockham. No matter what, Ockham was still afraid of that heavenly knight. If he really killed Zhang Tie, Ockham didn't know how the heavenly knight would respond. If Zhang Tie and that heavenly knight were just business partners, that heavenly knight might be indifferent; however, if there was some other friendship between them, that heavenly knight might find trouble for Ockham. Being targeted by a heavenly knight, even though Ockham had the protection of Sacred Light Empire, it was definitely not a comfortable thing.
Zhang Tie was so famous that even Ockham knew the power of Zhang Tie's javelin. However, no matter how powerful an earth knight's javelin was, it could only reach the level of thunder-in-palm, which could easily kill a LV 15 battle spirit. If it was a higher level, it might pose a threat to common black iron knights; however, it was just a joke for a shadow knight. Even a heavenly knight dared not threaten a shadow knight by javelin, not to mention an earth knight.
When each knight formed a chakra, he or she would have a very rare chance to strengthen his body from battle spirit to black iron knight; from black iron knight to earth knight. However, the most powerful strengthening happened when an earth knight promoted to a shadow knight. When he formed his water chakra, his water tissue, which accounted for over 70% of the composition of human body, would experience a cleansing and resonance of water elements in the Elements Realm through his water chakra. As a result, the physical strengthening brought by this cleansing and resonance could directly strengthen the body of a shadow knight to an unimaginable realm. In this realm, even if a shadow knight didn't release his protective battle qi, his body would still be as powerful as that of a black iron knight who had fully released his protective battle qi. This was also the origin of the power and confidence of shadow knights.
"Fine, I will bet with you. I'm right here. You can attack me with your javelin. There's a saying among Hua people — — be sincerely convinced. I will make you sincerely convinced this time!" Standing in the air outside the gate of the palace, Ockham crossed his arms. He didn't even release his protective battle qi as he just watched Zhang Tie like watching a joke.
At this moment, Ockham was fighting at the gate of the palace. The nearest seats in the banquet hall were all over 50 m away from him. The guards in the banquet hall were tightly surrounding him over 50 m away with a row of heavy tower shields in hands.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as a golden javelin appeared in his hand. At the sight of the golden javelin in Zhang Tie's hand, Maxim and the others held their breath at once.
"Move aside, in case of being hurt!" Zhang Tie said calmly.
After hearing Ockham's words, those people who were closest to the gate hurriedly moved back towards the center of the palace, including those guards who were holding heavy tower shields. Even Thor's Hammer which was surrounding Ockham outside the palace dispersed at the same time.
Ockham revealed a faint, disdainful smile. The reactions of the surrounding people were just a joke for him. When he caught sight of the golden javelin in Zhang Tie's hand, he revealed a more sarcastic look as he realized that Zhang Tie was just making a show so as to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
Golden weapons were used by deities in myths and legends. There were a lot of such weapons in Sacred Light Empire. However, they were all sacrificial utensils and religious articles. As one of the three halos chief priests of Sacred Light Empire, Ockham had a team of subordinates who used golden weapons to decorate his appearance on some special occasions. To be honest, gold was not a good material for making weapons. Although gold had a good ductility, it was not suitable to be made into weapons. Even though K-gold mixed with some silver-copper ratio could not match some senior alloys, not to mention precious metals such as abyss iron.
Weapons made of gold were used to deceive those fools so as to make them revere them. Gold was not precious for knights; however, no knight used golden weapons in this world. Zhang Tie was the first knight that Ockham saw using a golden weapon.
Watching Zhang Tie holding a golden javelin, Ockham felt that this famous Hua knight was very similar to those subordinates on his side. Therefore, he burst out into laughter as he watched Zhang Tie arrogantly, "You're very smart. As long as you surrender to me, I will allow you to rule all the halos servants in the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire …"
Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "Are you ready? I'm going to launch a strike …"
"Come on, I …"
The halos chief priest of Sacred Light Empire didn't finish his words; because Zhang Tie had launched a strike …
…
Along with the deafening boom, an invisible shock wave swept through the heavy tower shields standing on the ground in the hall, causing the heavy metal tower shields to make loud noises as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer ….
