Before Zhang Tie arrived at Xuanyuan Fortress, he had already felt the heavy wind and snow while the strong north wind blew towards his face with large snowflakes …
Knights were not afraid of cold or heat. Such a heavy wind and snow could barely affect knights, not to mention Zhang Tie.
Flying in the sky, Zhang Tie watched the ground and the long Weishui River being gradually covered by the heavy wind and snow as his heart slightly sank. Although the weather didn't affect knights, it greatly influenced common corps on the ground; especially Weishui River. The first heavy wind and snow in this winter indicated that Weishui River would soon be frozen.
It only took Zhang Tie a short while to cover less than 300 miles faster than driving a plane. The huge figure of Xuanyuan Fortress had already appeared in the sky in front of him.
In the heavy wind and snow, Xuanyuan Fortress and the surrounding battle fortresses were still standing loftily in the sky, confronting the demon army and the demon battle fortresses in the sky indifferently. On the battlefield over 200 miles away, the battle qi tornadoes and battle qi smokes were stirring the heavy wind and snow in the sky while the battle didn't stop …
Teams of knights were patrolling in the sky and gazing at the demons' encampment with covetous eyes. More knights were entering and exiting Xuanyuan Fortress and some battle fortresses nearby Xuanyuan Fortress. If fighters' encampment was on the ground, knights' encampment was in the sky.
When he was close to Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie had already taken off his military uniform of air cavalries' major and put on a boa silk robe rapidly. After all, it was too eye-catching for a knight in the military uniform of air cavalries' major to appear in Xuanyuan Fortress. It might be suspected that he was fishing for compliments.
"The news that the general was assassinated has just reached Xuanyuan Fortress, which shocked all the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress a lot. Now, various gossips are flying all over Xuanyuan Fortress. Many knights are restless. General, you'd better make some news so as to let everyone know about it …" that shadow knight who flew back to Xuanyuan Fortress with Zhang Tie reminded Zhang Tie when he saw that they were about to arrive at Xuanyuan Fortress.
"It's easy to make a noise. Wait for a second, commander-in-chief …" Zhang Tie replied as he released his battle qi tornado. Closely after that, a huge fiery dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky. With a roar, it rocked 60 miles …
In Taixia Country, the virtual image of a fire dragon had almost become Zhang Tie's trademark. Besides Zhang Tie who could "simulate" the cultivation of "Fire Dragon Sutra" with his fabricated "Chaotic Treasure Body", nobody else could manifest the virtual image of a fire dragon across Taixia Country.
The moment this image appeared, everyone knew that Zhang Tie had returned.
The moment the virtual image of fiery dragon appeared, it had almost attracted the attention of all the knights nearby Xuanyuan Fortress.
Zhang Tie didn't enter Xuanyuan Fortress right away; instead, he watched the battlefield in the distance. After squinting his eyes, he rushed over there as fast as a lightning bolt.
However, Zhang Tie didn't rush towards the sky; instead, he rushed towards the ground. After flying dozens of miles away, the Devouring Dragon flew out of Zhang Tie's sleeve and enlarged in the air. In a split second, it turned into a berserk dragon in the sky. Closely after that, the berserk dragon turned into an immortal weapon and fell into Zhang Tie's hand. With the Devouring Dragon in hand, Zhang Tie slashed towards the ground from over 500 m high above the ground.
The berserk and sharp sword qi fell from the sky and entered the ground in a split second, causing a huge pit whose diameter was dozens of meters. Right in the huge pit, an earth spider demon knight rushed into the sky while spurting out blood. Its skin and flesh were broken. 3 of its 8 limbs were chopped off by Zhang Tie's sword. After being severely wounded, the spider demon was going to escape towards the camp of demons; however, only after hundreds of meters away, it had been split into pieces by a sword light. Zhang Tie then flew back with the head of the spider demon which was spitting out its bloody fangs.
Under the gaze of everyone else, Zhang Tie killed an earth demon knight lurking on the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The shadow knight watched Zhang Tie with widely opened eyes. It was not surprising that Zhang Tie could kill an earth spider demon knight. Because Zhang Tie had already shown his ability to fight a shadow knight after getting the essence of sword song in the last war. What really surprised him was how Zhang Tie knew that there was a spider demon hiding underground.
"How did you know that there was a spider demon hiding there?" The shadow knight asked.
"No matter how stealthily it hides underground, it would always leave some loopholes. As long as you observe it carefully, you would find it!"
Zhang Tie said it in a simple way. However, this simple answer shocked the shadow knight as he felt that Zhang Tie was profound.
Holding the bloody head of the earth spider demon knight, Zhang Tie directly flew back to Xuanyuan Fortress with that shadow knight.
"Qianji Hermit, Qianji Hermit is back …"
"Ahh, wasn't Qianji Hermit assassinated …"
"It must be. The virtual image of fire dragon is Qianji Hermit …"
At the entrance of the fortress, watching Zhang Tie coming back with a demon knight's head in hand, a group of strange knights hurriedly gave way to him as they watched Zhang Tie with an admiring look and let Zhang Tie enter first.
After coming here, Zhang Tie put away his virtual image of fire dragon.
After entering Xuanyuan Fortress, Zhang Tie found more knights inside. Right at the entrance of Xuanyuan Fortress, there was a square. Many knights on the square saw Zhang Tie coming in with the head of a spider demon knight. Since Zhang Tie showed his great battle prowess in the recent war and got the essence of sword song, very few people in Xuanyuan Fortress didn't know him even if he didn't use the virtual image of fire dragon. A handsome 17-year old earth knight formed a sharp contrast with his great battle strength. Zhang Tie was the only earth knight in Xuanyuan Fortress.
The bloody head of the earth spider demon knight in Zhang Tie's hand made it more convincing.
"Ahh, Zhang Mushen is back …"
"According to the news from Xinglin Prefecture, Military Province, Zhang Tie was ambushed and killed by a heavenly demon knight …"
"Damn it, I've just sent the news back to my clan. Who's spreading the rumor …"
…
Spider demons were a kind of demon race that could secrete venom glands; especially those above LV 10, they could cause extra damage to human fighters by their venom. The venom of spider demons could barely be detoxified by common medicament. The best antidote was a gland in the mouth of senior spider demons. The more advanced a spider demon was, the more effective its detoxification would be and the more precious it would be. The detoxification gland of earth-level spider demons was a precious war material.
Under the gaze of all the others, Zhang Tie came to a counter which was used to collect booty of knights. After throwing the head of the spider demon onto the counter, he went to meet Zuoqiu Mingyue …
Only after a short while, the news that Zhang Tie had returned to Xuanyuan Fortress had spread over. As a result, the turmoil in Xuanyuan Fortress died down in a split second. Additionally, the news from Xuanyuan Fortress soon spread over the other provinces in the theater of operations. As a result, the turmoil caused by Zhang Tie's "death" gradually died down …
