"Now that my opponent is a LV 3 shadow knight, I'll give you 30,000 earth, water, wind and fire element crystals and a space-teleportation equipment. Put them in the space-teleportation equipment and take them to me as the price for fighting a higher-level battle …"
Zhang Tie quoted a price the moment Sagus finished his words.
After hearing Zhang Tie's offer, all the knights in Xuanyuan Fortress became dumbfounded.
As for common knights, this price was an astronomical figure; however, Zhang Tie knew that now that Sagus dispatched a heavenly knight to assassinate him, Sagus would never miss such a good opportunity to kill him in the public.
In the eyes of demons, an earth knight was not worth so much; however, a human knight who could comprehend sword song on the battlefield, invent fiery oil, all-purpose medicament and various incendiary weapons and solve the food crisis in the theater of operations was definitely a major threat to demons in the holy war. As long as he could kill Zhang Tie, such a small price was nothing. This was the insight and judgment of a commander.
As demons lived underground, they had more ways to acquire element crystals and silver secret items than humans. Demon knights definitely had more silver secret items than human knights. Given the demon general that had been killed by Zhang Tie, it could be seen that the number of silver secret items owned by demon knights was absolutely greater than that of human knights.
A LV 3 shadow knight was just a side dish for Zhang Tie. However, the most important thing for Zhang Tie was to consume the overall strength of demons and make Sagus gamble with him step by step like a gambler who had lost a lot.
As the large-scale battle was coming, Sagus would definitely not agree to exchange over 200 million civilians with him. Even if it agreed, demons and Three-eye Association could still transport more civilians to the frontline from the rear. Zhang Tie was risking a great risk by using himself as the bait. He wanted to completely eradicate demons' similar behaviors in the war on the Eastern Continent so as to prevent innocent civilians in Taixia Country from being driven away as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
"Fine, I agree …"
As was imagined, the moment Zhang Tie put forward his condition, Sagus had agreed to it without any hesitation.
Sagus waved its hand and called the shadow demon knight in its three change realm who fought Zhang Tie fiercely that day. Closely after that, it told a knight attendant on its side something. Closely after that, the knight attendant entered the demon's lair battlefortress. After a short while, he came out with a bloody finger ring on a tray.
The shadow wing demon knight in its 3 change realm flew towards Zhang Tie with that bloody finger ring.
When the shadow demon knight was 1,000 m away from Zhang Tie, it stopped as it threw that bloody finger ring towards Zhang Tie with grim, bloody eyes. After licking its lips, it directly threw that bloody finger ring towards Zhang Tie.
The bloody finger ring flew towards Zhang Tie in a streak of light. Zhang Tie caught it at once and checked it. This finger ring was definitely a top-notch item among space-teleportation finger rings. After that, he saw 30,000 earth, water, wind and fire element crystals in each of the four elements neatly.
In a split second, many knights were gazing at the finger ring in Zhang Tie's hand.
"Lord, please keep this item for me. If I'm killed in a battle, hand everything in this item to my family members in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory!"
If Zhang Tie took the finger ring with him, it would arouse people's suspicion. If Zhang Tie was killed in a battle, these items would become the booties of the opponents. As Zhang Tie was not sure that he could win the battle, of course, he had to hand these precious items to reliable people. Otherwise, he would die in vain.
Zhang Tie said with a solemn look. He even made it clear how to deal with these items if he was killed in a battle. Therefore, the others knew Zhang Tie's determination. Of course, after hearing Zhang Tie's words, those demon knights and Sagus wouldn't feel that they were fools. Instead, they were gifting the heads and element crystals of human knights to Zhang Tie.
Closely after Zhang Tie's words, a shadow knight had flown out of Zuoqiu Mingyue's side. When the shadow knight was 1,000 m away from Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie threw that finger ring towards him. After taking the finger ring, the shadow knight threw a deep glance at Zhang Tie before returning to Zuoqiu Mingyue's side.
At this moment, there were only Zhang Tie and the shadow demon knight who had fought Zhang Tie in the center of the battlefield.
"Brat, I will twist your head back today. Can you fight me now?" The shadow demon knight had long been eager to have a try as he rubbed his palms on one side with a long spear which had just manifested a silver secret item.
The Devouring Dragon flew out of Zhang Tie's sleeve and turned into a long sword in a split second. Zhang Tie then pointed his sword at the shadow wing demon knight as he entered the combat-ready state in a split second with a solemn look, "Come on …"
The shadow wing demon knight's eyes flickered. In the next second, Zhang Tie and the shadow wing demon knight disappeared almost at the same time and collided fiercely in the center of the battlefield.
The moment the duel broke out, a golden halo had risen over Zhang Tie's body with the aiding strength of supreme protection.
"It's gentleman's light …"
"Ahh, aiding strength, Qianji Hermit's aiding strength …"
The golden halo of aiding strength over Zhang Tie immediately aroused exclamations from many knights of Taixia Country on the side of Xuanyuan Fortress. It was the first time for most of those knights to see Zhang Tie's gentleman's light and aiding strength.
The shadow wing demon knight's body and battle qi were both purplish red. From afar, a golden light and a purplish red light were fighting each other like two evil dragons. In the center of the battlefield, battle qis were radiating in all directions while sword lights were as fast as lightning bolts. The collision sounds were as loud as thunders. Almost the moment the duel broke out, it had entered the most dangerous close combat …
The shadow wing demon knight almost wanted to kill Zhang Tie. The moment it attacked Zhang Tie, it had exerted its full efforts to kill Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also "exerted his full efforts" …
The strength, speed, defensive power, endurance and battle qi of shadow knights couldn't be matched by earth knights. Over these days, Zhang Tie had been cultivating Big Sword Sutra and making further progress in swordsmanship; especially after the bloody sacrifice of those b * stards of Three-eye Association a couple of days ago, besides helping Ockham recover his water chakra, Zhang Tie used the greater part of the energy of the bloody sacrifice to improve his swordsmanship and break through those bottlenecks. Therefore, although it had only been a short time, Zhang Tie had made further progress in swordsmanship, which was even greater than that when he got the essence of sword song …
Watching Zhang Tie being attacked by shadow wing demon knights, Zhang Tie's sword light, sword qi, sword intent like a waterfall in the starry sky, which was as light as cicada's wings, as heavy as a mountain, as hot sun in the sky and as elusive as an immortal dragon in the clouds, all the knights who cultivated swordsmanship in Xuanyuan Fortress were dazzled as they felt thirsty. Even Zuoqiu Mingyue's snow-white long eyebrows quivered as he had not imagined that Zhang Tie could reach such a high realm in only 2 months.
Wing demons excelled in speed in the sky, especially shadow wing demons. However, Zhang Tie's supreme protection offset the advantage of speed in the sky. Although wing demons' protective battle qi was powerful, Zhang Tie's Devouring Dragon couldn't be borne by common knights. Although wing demons' strike power was great, the protective sword wind outside Zhang Tie's protective battle qi would always be shattered by Zhang Tie's protective sword wind before the attacks of shadow wing demons fell onto Zhang Tie's body …
Previously, Zhang Tie didn't even know the name of this powerful skill that he had gained when he got the essence of sword song. After reading Big Sword Sutra, Zhang Tie knew that this extremely powerful skill was called protective sword wind.
The longer Zhang Tie fought, the more he understood the power of the protective sword wind.
Protective sword wind couldn't reach far. Like Zhang Tie's shadow, it could at most appear within 10 m. However, protective sword wind could be hard or soft, attack or defend. It could come and go from the void to the void. It was invisible. It had already become a part of Zhang Tie's body and instinct. As long as Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy, protective sword wind would appear. Sometimes, protective sword wind could even appear automatically when it sensed the opponent's attack. It was harder and sharper than sword qi like the blade of Devouring Dragon; it could be as soft as protective battle qi. All the attacks of shadow wing demon knight had to penetrate through Zhang Tie's protective sword wind before falling onto Zhang Tie's protective battle qi.
Supreme protection, protective sword wind, protective battle qi, Zhang Tie's powerful body which was made of numerous iron-body fruits, Zhang Tie's recovery body and great vitality after promoting to a shadow knight, Zhang Tie's body and defensive power were unimaginable by anyone else except Zhang Tie.
In this case, the shadow wing demon knight was so depressed that it almost spurted out blood. Because the greater part of its attacks towards Zhang Tie had been defused by Zhang Tie's protective sword wind before falling onto Zhang Tie's body. As for the rest attacks, even though they could penetrate through or break the protective sword wind and fall onto Zhang Tie's protective battle qi, they were much weaker …
However, the shadow wing demon knight's battle strength was also not to be underestimated. The gap between the two parties was evident; especially the long spear in the hand of the shadow wing demon knight, which was also a silver secret item. Each time it stabbed out, a scorching fire snake would fly out of the spear, which could melt gold and iron. In the hand of the shadow wing demon knight, this long spear was also very powerful. In the sky, Zhang Tie would be surrounded by thousands of fire snakes at any time as if they were going to burn Zhang Tie into ashes in a split second …
When Zhang Tie didn't use his trump cards, such a battle was also very tough for him. However, this was the result that Zhang Tie wanted.
…
The dazzling, fierce battle lasted over 2 hours under the gaze of over 200,000 human and demon knights …
At the fiercest moment, the long spear in the hand of the shadow wing demon knight penetrated through Zhang Tie's protective battle qi and came out of Zhang Tie's left shoulder. At the same time, Zhang Tie's Devouring Dragon chopped off the arm of the shadow wing demon knight which was holding the long spear. The shadow wing demon knight flew backward as it roared. At the same time, its virtual image turned into a huge bizarre bird which was hundreds of meters in length and was covered in flames. At the same time, it stabbed towards Zhang Tie with its sharp claws and beak in a more destructive manner than before …
Zhang Tie roared as he combined with his sword and penetrated through the virtual image of the shadow wing demon knight in a 100-m long silver sword light together with his Devouring Dragon.
The battlefield was in silence as over 200,000 human knights forgot to breathe at this moment.
Zhang Tie and the shadow wing demon knight froze in the air. Zhang Tie didn't move at all. The shadow wing demon knight struggled to turn around as it flapped its wings and threw a glance at Zhang Tie …
With a loud sound "bang", the shadow wing demon knight's body exploded in the air in a split second, turning into blood foam which covered the sky and dying the snowflakes red. Closely after that, it fell down together with the snowflakes.
Zhang Tie then pulled out the long spear from his shoulder. At the same time, blood covered half of Zhang Tie's body. When he pulled out the long spear, Zhang Tie swayed once in the air as he spurted out a mouth of blood, looking "pretty miserable" …
'Zhang Tie won. Qianji Hermit killed a shadow demon knight!'
All the human knights in Xuanyuan Fortress were in an uproar at once. It was always a legend that a knight could kill a knight on a higher level in a battle for honor. Nobody had imagined that they could witness this legend come true today …
Feng Yexiao's face turned pale in a split second …
