Sagus' eyes turned completely red. Even though he was wearing a mask, the blazing flames and invisible blood qi in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
In the battle for honor between humans and demons, Zhang Tie had won three out of three battles and killed three shadow demon knights above Weishui River in the public. Such a great strike was the unprecedented setback that the demon army had encountered since they invaded Taixia Country.
This setback was brought by Zhang Tie.
Even shadow demon knights in their 9 change realm and fierce generals of Sagus had been killed by Zhang Tie. At this moment, the only thing that Sagus wanted to do was to kill Zhang Tie at all costs. If it didn't kill Zhang Tie at this moment, it would be more difficult for it to kill Zhang Tie in the future. Because Zhang Tie's battle strength was growing day by day; additionally, Zhang Tie might not appear on the battlefield again. If Zhang Tie could leave here alive, it would be a great strike for all the demon knights.
Sagus was in the same state of mind as those gamblers who had lost all their money in the casino.
"Do you want to continue? Now that you could kill our shadow demon knights in their 9 change realm and couldn't break your protective circle, I could dispatch a heavenly demon knight. What's your condition …"
Sagus' voice which was full of killing intent drifted into everyone's ears. At this moment, Sagus straightforwardly didn't even feel polite.
Zhang Tie didn't speak; instead, under the furious eyes of Sagus, he took out a vial of colorful medicament from his portable space-teleportation equipment and drank it in front of everyone else.
"I've got space-teleportation equipment, silver secret items and all the rarities that demons could find in the Earth-elements Realm. What else do you think is worth my life?" Zhang Tie asked calmly. "What else do you have that is worth my life?"
"Even if I have, I could have more. What's your condition?"
"I really want to know who was the heavenly demon knight who assassinated me outside Anxi City, Xinglin Prefecture, Military Province?"
Soon after Zhang Tie asked that heavenly wing demon knight on Sagus' side, the 4-m higher purple-golden one with a long horn on its head and a crown on its head which represented a demon lord and 6 wings on its back had flown out of the nest of demons. At the same time, it watched Zhang Tie from above the nest of demons while releasing its qi field which could cover the entire heavens.
"It's me, Antorier, the prince of the first troop of wing demons under the command of abyss monarch!" The heavenly wing demon knight watched Zhang Tie coldly as it said in an arrogant tone, "Pitifully, you escaped away. I only killed your substitute. You should really see how your substitute was minced into meat paste by me. Hahahaha, do you want to avenge your substitute? Come on, I let you escape that day. Today, I will smash you into pieces once again …"
Antorier knew what Sagus was thinking about. Therefore, it stimulated Zhang Tie the moment it opened its mouth. Additionally, Antorier had already locked onto Zhang Tie. Just now, all the heavenly demon knights had received the order of Sagus. If Zhang Tie didn't accept the challenge, demon knights would launch an all-out attack. They had to kill Zhang Tie in the melee. They could never let the one who killed three wing demon knights become a human hero.
If Zhang Tie agreed, Antorier would kill Zhang Tie in the battle for honor; if Zhang Tie disagreed, Antorier would also kill Zhang Tie in the melee. The most outstanding ability of heavenly wing demon knights was its flight ability. As long as Antorier kept a close eye on Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would never slip away today.
After Zhang Tie won the third duel, the gloomy clouds of the large-scale battle between human knights and demon knights had already covered the sky above Weishui River.
On the side of Xuanyuan Fortress, Zuoqiu Mingyue also told his heavenly demon knights and shadow knights to prepare for the large-scale battle.
"As long as the large-scale battle breaks out, we have to save Zhang Tie first and cover him to evacuate from the battlefield. As long as Zhang Tie is alive today, demons would not gain a great advantage. We would win …"
"Is it necessary to have over 100,000 human knights in Xuanyuan Fortress fight demons for the sake of one knight?" Ning Taisheng asked as his eyes flickered.
After hearing Ning Taisheng's words, Zuoqiu Mingyue became infuriated as he glared at Ning Taisheng as he pointed at Ning Taisheng with one finger and said icily, "If I hear such words for the second time, I will kill you here for the crime of slandering the army. Even if you escape to the imperial palace and the crown prince wants to protect you, I could also take your head out. Do you want to have a try …"
Ning Taisheng changed his face at once as he had not imagined that Zuoqiu Mingyue who always treated him politely dared say that he would kill him.
Ning Taisheng didn't know that his words had already crossed the bottom line of Zuoqiu Mingyue as the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country. Zuoqiu Mingyue would never negotiate with him on this issue, not to mention his identity as a royal elder.
When Zuoqiu Mingyue talked with Ning Taisheng, he had already isolated the region where those heavenly knights were by battle qi. Therefore, the dialogue between Zuoqiu Mingyue and Ning Taisheng could only be heard by those heavenly knights on their side.
"Zhang Tie fights for the country and Taixia Country. Without him, demons would also fight us. We have to expel demons out of Taixia Country and fight demons too. Taixia Country and demons are already irreconcilable. How could we fight demons for Zhang Tie? If Zhang Tie was killed by demons today, the over 100,000 human knights in Xuanyuan Fortress would lose their morale and collapse in a split second. By then, Taixia Country would perish. Elder Ning's words are really inappropriate …" a heavenly knight on one side of Zuoqiu Mingyue said icily.
After finding that all the other heavenly knights were watching him discontentedly, Ning Taisheng's face turned gloomy at once. He didn't speak; instead, he just watched Zhang Tie who was in the middle of the battlefield with an emotionless look.
However, Zhang Tie seemed to have made a decision at this moment.
"Fine, I agree to have a fight for honor with Antorier!" Zhang Tie's voice drifted, "However, I don't need your rarity. I only need you to promise me one condition."
"What condition?" Sagus was also stunned by Zhang Tie's words as it had not imagined that Zhang Tie could say such a thing at this moment.
"If you want me to promise you, Sagus, you have to make a bloody pledge to the demon god. No matter whether I win or lose, the demon army has to retreat 300 miles after the duel so as to let over 200 million civilians in the demon army return to Taixia Country safe and sound …"
"Hahaha, that's all?" Sagus burst out into laughter. In Sagus' eyes, over 200 million Hua civilians might not even match a space-teleportation equipment. Sagus felt that Zhang Tie was either silly or insane to exchange the lives of these people for Zhang Tie. Such a condition was extremely ridiculous for a powerful knight.
"Additionally, if I win the duel with Antorier, from then on, the demon army is not allowed to drive Taixia civilians to the battlefield to die for no reason. Even in the holy war, both parties have their bottom lines and rules. If I lose the duel, of course, the latter condition will not apply to me …"
Sagus felt like hearing something unimaginable. Not only Sagus, all the other demon knights had the same feeling. 'How could a human knight tell the demon army what they could do and what they couldn't do? Isn't that ridiculous?'
"You want to set a rule for the demon army?"
"Yes, I will set such a rule for the demon army at the cost of my life. Do you dare to bet with me?" Zhang Tie said loudly and firmly.
"What if I don't agree?" Sagus asked icily.
Zhang Tie replied with a faint smile, "I know that you've already had Antorier keep an eye on me; however, you could have a bet whether I have trump cards or not and whether I could leave the battlefield today. If you don't agree with me, after I leave here, I swear that I will pay back what you've done to the commoners of Taixia Country 10 times in your territory by all means. As you've killed 200 million commoners of Taixia Country here, I will definitely slaughter 2 billion demon civilians in your territory one day …"
'Return what demons have done to Taixia civilians 10 times more?' All the human and demon knights on the two banks of Weishui River were stunned by Zhang Tie's heroic words.
Sagus gazed at Zhang Tie. Nobody knew what Sagus was thinking about at this moment. The battlefield became silent for almost 2 minutes.
During this period, Zhang Tie stood on the battlefield proudly and waited for Sagus' reply distantly.
"Fine, I agree!" Sagus' voice drifted into Zhang Tie's ears. Closely after that, Sagus had taken off his glove in the public. Closely after that, he cut a wound on his palm with his fingernail. Closely after that, some blood flew into the sky in front of Sagus as if it was weightless. Giving out weird red light, it formed a bizarre rune which looked like a devil's face. "I, Sagus, swear by the honor of the Demon Overlord and my bloodline that if Zhang Tie, the knight of Taixia Country, fights Antorier for honor instead of escaping, I will abide by the agreement between us. If I violate this agreement, I will be deprived of all my glory by the Demon Overlord and have my chakra perish in the void in a split second …"
After Sagus said that, the strange rune light composed of its blood shone brightly. Closely after that, it enveloped Sagus and returned to its body …
