The big fire was still burning in the city. Those airships had already assembled in the distance and started to fly towards the east once again. A new airboat was suspending above the burning city. All the demons had disappeared. The three earth knights of Taixia Country had returned. The moment Zhang Tie arrived here from afar, he had seen many knights flying towards him.
The bloody head of the earth demon knight in Zhang Tie's hand had already indicated Zhang Tie's achievement. Watching Zhang Tie flying back with the head of the earth demon knight, all the other knights looked at Zhang Tie with undisguisable respect and admiration.
If not Zhang Tie's timely arrival, it was hard to say how many of these knights of Taixia Country could still be standing here intact.
Zhang Tie's young look shocked all the knights in Taixia Country as they couldn't imagine how could there be such a young shadow knight in Taixia Country. What a marvelous young man! Of course, a shadow knight might have taken a heavenly rarity after reaching a certain level in battle strength. Most of the knights thought that the latter was more possible. Although they had heard about such a heavenly rarity, they had not seen it. Because such a rarity would only be collected by a few top major clans or powerhouses. As for all the female knights, it was an unrivaled rarity. Nobody would sell it at auction. Only a few knights could see Zhang Tie's look carefully with a dubious look. Although they felt familiar with Zhang Tie's look, they didn't believe in it.
"May I know your name, immortal?" An old man among the three earth knights who fought the demon knight just now bowed towards Zhang Tie.
Immortal was the respectful appellation of shadow knights in Taixia Country. Until then, these knights still thought that Zhang Tie was a shadow knight of Taixia Country.
"I'm Zhang Tie of Huaiyuan Palace in Youzhou Province!"
"Qianji Hermit …" Even knights couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Zhang Tie's introduction.
Zhang Tie's name was Qianji Hermit. Everybody had heard about him. However, they had not imagined that Zhang Tie's battle force could be so powerful. Just now, he killed the black earth iron demon as easily as killing a chicken or a cow.
Under the amazed gaze of the others, Zhang Tie flew over there and gave the head of the earth wing demon knight to a middle-aged man with red eyes and a sad look, saying, "This is the head of the demon knight who killed your elder brother just now. I've already brought it to you. It's a comfort for your elder brother. Regretfully, I couldn't save your elder brother at that time. Your elder brother's heroic deed is admirable as he could fight earth demons to death here. The dead couldn't come back to life. Please accept my condolences …"
One of Zhang Tie's elder brother fought to death on the battlefield. This event was always a hurdle in the hearts of Zhang Tie's parents and Zhang brothers. Therefore, when Zhang Tie saw this man's elder brother being killed on the battlefield, Zhang Tie sympathized with him. Therefore, he determined to kill this earth demon knight to avenge the death of his elder brother.
At the sight of the head of the earth wing demon knight, the middle-aged knight dropped off tears at once. After taking the head of the earth wing demon knight with quivering hands, he instantly knelt down in front of Zhang Tie, saying, "Zhang Yushan of Qingxi Palace in Wuzhou Province thanks Qianji Hermit for your great kindness. Qianji Hermit, you've saved Qingxi Palace from the crisis and avenged my elder brother. As long as there's one descendant of Qingxi Palace in the world, none of us would forget about your great kindness …"
"No!" Zhang Tie stopped the middle-aged man who was going to kneel down.
Feeling the great strength in Zhang Tie's hand, the middle-aged knight couldn't bear to kneel down anymore. Therefore, he picked himself up as he untied a jade plate which was carved with some words from his waist and gave it to Zhang Tie, saying, "This is my token. Please take it, Qianji Hermit. Later on, if Qianji Hermit has any request, just have someone bring this token to Qingxi Palace. Zhang Yushan would definitely do anything for you …"
After feeling Zhang Yushan's solemn look, Zhang Tie realized that he might feel that he was belittling Zhang Yushan's family if he didn't take it. Therefore, Zhang Tie took it solemnly.
Watching Zhang Tie taking the jade plate, Zhang Yushan appeared to be reassured as he said sadly and resolutely, "My elder brother has just fought to death. I need to deal with his funeral affairs. Additionally, our clan has suffered a great loss. Some of our airships have just been lost. I have to take charge of the airship troop of Qingxi Palace. I have to go …"
After saying that, Zhang Yushan thanked Zhang Tie and those knights who fought together with him just now one more time before flying far away.
Not until then did Zhang Tie understand that those airships that he saw being attacked by wing demons just now were the evacuating troops of Qingxi Palace in Wuzhou Province.
After Zhang Yushan left, Zhang Tie had known what had happened from the others in a few words.
Xiangshan City in Xiangshan Prefecture, Wuzhou Province was a standard Class A city in Taixia Country. Xiangshan City was also one of the transit bases between Xiangshan Prefecture and Helan Prefecture in Wuzhou Province. Yesterday, the airship fleet of Qingxi Palace was still repairing in Xiangshan City; unexpectedly, when they were going to evacuate, a vanguard of wing demons suddenly arrived here, catching one earth knight and three black iron knights off guard. As a result, Xiangshan City and Qingxi Palace who were going to evacuate suffered a great loss at once. Thankfully, Xu Baoan the Cheji General of Wuzhou Province was patrolling nearby by airboat with a team of knights. At the sight of the battle qi smokes and tornadoes rising into the sky from Xiangshan City, he hurriedly came over here and resisted the strike of demon knights. Overall, they were still in a disadvantageous position …
When they were in a fierce battle and the knights of Taixia Country were in danger, Zhang Tie suddenly arrived and reversed the crisis at a stroke.
In this battle, besides one knight of Qingxi Palace, one knight in Xiangshan City was also killed before Zhang Tie arrived. As for demons, Zhang Tie alone killed 2 earth knights and 2 black iron knights. Additionally, he killed 4 more black iron wing demons. Given the casualty ratio, Taixia Country gained a great victory …
After hearing that he was already in Xiangshan City, Zhang Tie realized that Gao Tianzhao had already flown over 2,000 miles westward from the mountainous area of Helan Mountain Range after a few hours' flight. He had directly passed Helan Prefecture which bordered Helan Mountain Range in Wuzhou Province and arrived at Xiangshan Prefecture …
This was already the frontline of the battle against the Devil Race … (To be continued.)
