Being blocked by the endless iron wires, the flames caused by exploding mines and the flames falling from the sky, the iron-armored demons gradually shrunk and jumped like ice cubes falling into hot water. After rushing dozens of miles forward tenaciously and bravely, only 10-odd fighters of the entire demon corps survived.
These 10 iron-armored demons were the highest-level ones in the demon corps. The most powerful ones were battle spirits.
In the last desperation, these 10-odd iron-armored demons were still charging forward bravely. Their dauntless behavior was moving. However, their dauntless behavior couldn't change their final fate.
A flame fell onto the last high-level iron-armored demon fighter, turning thousands of square meters into a sea of flames in a split second, covering the demon fighter. The most powerful iron-armored demon didn't break out of the sea of flames with its powerful protective battle qi like before. When the flame died out, the wire netting on the ground had been melted and the ground was scorched black. The last iron-armored demon fighter's body had also been scorched. It could barely be found on the ground …
Protective battle qi could resist common physical strikes; however, it couldn't resist high temperature. Only knight-level protective battle qi could penetrate into magma. However, the temperature of incendiary bombs and incendiary mines was above 1,500 degrees Celsius, which was even higher than that of many magma. Even battle spirits couldn't protect themselves from such a high temperature with their protective battle qi …
Sagus the Monarch Abyss of demons was watching the extermination of the iron-armored demon corps above Weishui River quietly from the air battle fortress in the distance. In the whole process, Sagus tightly clenched its fist. When the last iron-armored demon was exterminated, Sagus loosened its fist while its scorching qi turned chaotic and still, which was daunting.
After taking a last glance at the wing demons and human air cavalries above Weishui River and the knights of both parties who were still fighting fiercely in the sky above the bank of Weishui River, especially the light and shadow where Zhang Tie was fighting the shadow demon knight, Sagus finally uttered in a muffled voice from his mask. "You're right.
"Let the army camp here and let the knights and warriors come back …"
When a heavenly knight moved one step forward and wanted to say something, Sagus had waved its hand, saying, "The holy war has just broken out. The combat between us and Taixia Country could not be determined in one day even one year. If Taixia Country could be easily exterminated, it would not be our turn to do this …"
After slightly bowing, the heavenly demon knight returned to its original position.
Sagus' order was quickly passed down.
The Devil Race was worthy of being called the Devil Race. Before the entire army completely collapsed, even though they were retreating, they were still orderly and not chaotic at all.
Another 20,000 wing demon fighters flew out of the demon army. With the increase of wing demon fighters, the second batch of air cavalries also took off from the airport of Taixia Country on the east bank of Weishui River for the battle.
However, the second batch of wing demon fighters didn't rush across Weishui River; instead, they stopped in the sky above the west bank of Weishui River. As the rear army, they covered those wing demons who were fighting the air cavalries of Taixia Country to evacuate from the battlefield.
Watching the wing demons evacuate, the first batch of air cavalries of Taixia Country just chased after them for a short while. They didn't rush across Weishui River; instead, they returned to the ground airport on the east bank of Weishui River. The second batch of air cavalries started to patrol in the sky above the east bank of Weishui River in case of demons' tricks.
After the wing demon troop evacuated, black iron demon knights started to leave the battle, followed by earth knights. Only shadow demon knights persisted until the end.
…
"Bang …" Before the shadow demon knight's battle qi strike fell onto Zhang Tie's body or his protective battle qi, it had been minced into pieces by a light and shadow around Zhang Tie's protective battle qi. The light and shadow that minced the shadow demon knight's battle qi strike was not Zhang Tie's Devouring Dragon, but a natural response of Zhang Tie's body in the realm of swordsmanship. It was a powerful skill that Zhang Tie had just comprehended and consolidated.
At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't even know the name of the powerful skill that he had just comprehended and consolidated. He only felt that a powerful strength was gathering around him. As long as he ran his mind, that strength would burst out in a terrifying way. Sometimes, that strength didn't even need Zhang Tie to run his mind. When it sensed a threatening attack on Zhang Tie, it would burst out automatically and eliminate the threat to Zhang Tie.
The strength around Zhang Tie was a bit like sword qi; however, it was more powerful than sword qi. Additionally, it could be hard or soft. It came from the void and disappeared in the void. Like an invisible shadow and magnetic field, it had already become a part of Zhang Tie's body. When this strength broke out outside his protective battle qi, it was equal to one more powerful protection for Zhang Tie outside his protective battle qi. Compared to protective battle qi, protective battle qi could only bear the enemy's strike passively and improve one's anti-strike ability. By contrast, this strength could bear the enemy's strike and eliminate the enemy's strike actively.
Zhang Tie didn't know what kind of strength it was; however, it reminded Zhang Tie of the active reactive armor on tanks that humans invented before the Catastrophe. Before the Catastrophe, the active reactive armor on tanks could sense the enemy's strike and detonate the enemy's strike in a short distance.
If the protective battle qi of knights was compared to the armor of traditional tanks, this new skill was Zhang Tie's active reactive armor to a certain degree. Of course, it was much more powerful than the so-called active reactive armor.
The moment Zhang Tie stretched out his hand, the sword qi of Devouring Dragon had turned into a 100-m long light sword. Closely after that, it slashed towards the shadow demon knight in an overwhelming manner.
When the light sword slashed onto the shadow demon knight, its protective battle qi quivered and broke into half in a split second. At the same time, the shadow demon knight escaped away from Zhang Tie and flew towards the demon army. Before leaving, the shadow demon knight even turned around and glared at Zhang Tie with full killing qi.
Zhang Tie didn't chase after it; instead, he stopped in the sky and watched the shadow demon knight and the other demon knights returning to the demon army. The other four heavenly knights also returned to their camps. Such a short battle was just like a warm-up for heavenly knights. In the 2nd holy war, the battle between human and demon heavenly knights would last at most 47 days and at least one week. The world of heavenly knights was out of the imagination of common knights.
Zhang Tie knew that this battle had come to an end for the time being.
The virtual image of Devouring Dragon was a silver dragon which was dozens of meters long. It was swimming beside Zhang Tie in a brilliant and majestic way. Each scale, antlers, long whiskers and fishtail were vivid as if it was a real body. Standing in the sky, the black dragon circled around Zhang Tie and protected him. If this virtual image of Devouring Dragon appeared in front of ordinary Hua commoners, it would arouse the worship of many people. Because dragon was always the totem immortal beast that Hua people worshipped. Since ancient times, many Hua legends were related to this dragon. Before the Catastrophe, Hua people were even called the descendants of dragons. In Hua people, dragons represented power, majesty, mystery and strength.
At the same time, Zhang Tie received the order to return to Xuanyuan Fortress through his Xuanyuan token.
"Let's go …" The knight of Taixia Country who blocked the next shadow demon knight with Zhang Tie at the critical moment flew over here. After throwing an extremely bizarre look at Zhang Tie and the virtual image of Devouring Dragon, he told Zhang Tie to return together with him.
The moment this shadow knight arrived, even though he was not hostile to Zhang Tie, the virtual image of Devouring Dragon had already responded to the virtual image of Devouring Dragon by baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. At the same time, it had already aimed at this shadow knight and was ready to launch an attack.
Even the shadow knight of Taixia Country was a bit scared of the Devouring Dragon as he didn't approach it too closely.
Zhang Tie's heart raced as the virtual image of Devouring Dragon gradually shrank from dozens of meters to about 30 cm long. Closely after that, it drilled into Zhang Tie's sleeve like a snake …
Previously, Zhang Tie didn't know that the virtual image of a silver secret item could have so many wonderful changes. However, through this battle, Zhang Tie understood a bit of the mystery of a silver secret item and opened a wholly new gate in front of Zhang Tie. The virtual images of secret items in silver secret items were varied. Additionally, they were all strange animals and immortal beasts. These virtual images of secret items were definitely not for being beautiful or seeking novelty. Zhang Tie had just comprehended something; however, he had not delved into it yet. However, this bit of knowledge had already made him pretty spirited inside.
In the sky, Zhang Tie was as handsome as a jade tree in the wind and a hidden dragon in his sleeve. This scene couldn't be more handsome.
Zhang Tie flew back to Xuanyuan Fortress with the other shadow knights at the same time. When he was close to Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie finally experienced the attention of the public …
