Watching the bizarre rune composed of fresh blood returning to Sagus' body, Zhang Tie finally revealed a smile.
Today, Sagus had finally stepped into the biggest pit, one step after another.
This was what Zhang Tie wanted. Zhang Tie not only wanted to save over 200 million innocent commoners, but also didn't want to see the desperate and helpless Hua commoners in Taixia Country on the battlefields anymore. Otherwise, even if he saved 200 million people on the battlefields today, demons and Heavens Reaching Church of Three-eye Association would bring another 200 million innocent commoners here tomorrow. By then, he would never be able to play with them anymore.
It was easy to save 200 million people; however, it was not easy to prevent demons from doing the same thing in the future. Zhang Tie knew that if he asked Sagus to agree with such a condition, Sagus would definitely refuse it; at least, it would be hesitant. However, if such a condition was a wager, only if Zhang Tie defeated the heavenly demon knight would the demon army follow this rule. In this case, Sagus would have another chance to take a risk. As long as Zhang Tie was killed by the heavenly demon knight, Sagus would be able to exchange for his life at the cost of 200 million people; instead of being bound by the following rules. Even if Taixia Country handed over the 200 million people to Taixia Country, after a few days, Taixia Country's civilians who were also cannon fodders on the battlefield would also be sent to Taixia Country from the rear end constantly.
Additionally, Zhang Tie's other incarnation of Gorath the black-robe knight's moons demon miasma could frighten demons so that they wouldn't turn all the civilians in the theater of operations into demonized puppets. If they did that, demons would erect a dangerous barrier in front of their army, which was definitely more destructive than incendiary mines on the ground.
In Sagus' opinion, the heavenly demon knight had at least 60-70% chance to kill Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie had already used up all of his trump cards. No matter what, even if Zhang Tie had other trump cards, he could at most increase his possibility of escaping away. Zhang Tie could never kill the heavenly demon knight. The gap between a shadow demon knight and a heavenly demon knight was definitely many times greater than that between an earth demon knight and a shadow demon knight, not to mention that Zhang Tie had just promoted to a shadow knight. If Zhang Tie could really escape away, the prestige that Sagus had built in the battle for honor would collapse. Additionally, Sagus didn't need to abide by the wager and could also push Taixia civilians to the battlefield in the future.
As long as the heavenly demon knight was not killed by Zhang Tie in the battle for honor, Sagus would be invincible no matter what. That was why Sagus dared make a bloody pledge to the demon god.
As for all the demon knights, the bloody pledge to the demon god was very binding. This bloody pledge contained the strength of the rule that demons believed in. Unless Sagus would like to collapse its chakra and perish, this pledge would become the rule of war that all the demon armies in Taixia Country had to abide by in the future.
As the king of abyss, Sagus was not stupid; instead, it was far-sighted. However, it had not imagined that Zhang Tie could be a divine dominator.
What was the possibility for a demon knight to be a divine dominator? Since the Catastrophe almost 900 years ago, numerous human knights had been born. However, only one divine dominator had appeared in the second holy war — Lord Fairysea, who had become a legendary divine dominator.
The possibility for Zhang Tie to be a divine dominator was definitely lower than that of winning the lottery. It was normal that Sagus couldn't guess it. If Sagus could guess it, it would be a deity instead of a sage-level knight.
After killing the shadow demon knight in its 9 change realm, Zhang Tie had been moving towards the track that he had imagined. All of Zhang Tie's designs and combats today were aimed at this ultimate target.
If Sagus agreed with Zhang Tie's condition, Zhang Tie had to expose his ability as a divine dominator to fight the heavenly demon knight.
If Sagus didn't agree with Zhang Tie's condition and wanted to fight the heavenly demon knight by force, Zhang Tie would expose his ability as a divine dominator on the battlefield and give an unforgettable lesson to the demon knights and the demon armies. Because Zhang Tie had to let all the demon knights and Sagus know that it was not a common knight but a divine dominator who threatened them to go to the demon realm to avenge them for killing innocent people in Taixia Country.
Death could be as light as a goose feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. Each person's life was priceless; however, the value of each person's life could also be measured. So was the secret.
If the secret of divine dominator was always hidden, this trump card might save Zhang Tie's life or bring him great benefits in another place at another time. Zhang Tie had struggled to expose the secret of divine dominator at this moment. However, whenever he recalled the mother and her son who were burnt into ashes by incendiary mines and the miserable shrieks of over 10 million people, Zhang Tie's struggle and selfishness would vanish. As a result, Zhang Tie's determination could not be shaken anymore.
As for the future, Zhang Tie didn't think about it at all. He didn't think about how many troubles and fatal disasters would he face after exposing this secret.
This was the destiny of knights in troubled times.
Zhang Tie remained calm at this moment. He didn't feel intense or restless about the coming large-scale battle at all. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of human and demon knights, Zhang Tie took out that string of remote-sensing finger rings and sent a message to his family members in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory, his elder brother, Bai Suxian, Yan Feiqing and the other members of his family.
After doing all this, Zhang Tie watched Antorier the heavenly wing demon prince who had already flown over 10,000 m away calmly as he said with a smile, "Come on …"
…
The value of a heavenly knight could be discerned from the name of the knight before it.
What was a heavenly knight? That was the firmament of knights, the sky that knights had to look up to!
Antorier released a strong killing qi while all the snowflakes above Weishui River disappeared at this moment.
Soon after Zhang Tie's words, Antorier's strike had broken through 10,000 m in the air and struck towards Zhang Tie's head like an overwhelming Mount Tai.
When attacking Zhang Tie, Antorier moved as fast as a lightning bolt as if he was moving in the air in a split second. Each time he flashed, he would advance 1,000 m forward as he rushed towards Zhang Tie in an overwhelming manner.
The Five-elements Ring which was like a tortoise's iron shell facing the strike of the shadow demon knight in its 9 change realm only lasted a short while before being broken by Antorier's strike.
The strike of the heavenly knight had already surpassed the limit that the Five-elements Ring could bear at this stage. In front of the absolute strength, the mutual restraint of the five elements would be broken.
After the Five-elements Ring was broken, Zhang Tie's protective sword wind was also broken. However, Antorier's overwhelming strike still didn't hit Zhang Tie.
Because Zhang Tie had already disappeared; instead, he was rushing towards Antorier.
A shadow knight was charging towards a heavenly knight.
As Zhang Tie had fought Yan Feiqing, he knew the terror of a heavenly knight. As for a heavenly knight, the threat of his golden spear as a divine dominator was limited. At this moment, his golden spear was only equal to one strike of a heavenly knight. Of course, a heavenly knight couldn't be killed by another heavenly knight by one strike. It was a long-lasting contest of wills and battle strength between heavenly knights. In such a battle, even if Zhang Tie threw out all the golden spears that he had made in Castle of Black Iron in one day, he might still not be able to defeat Antorier. Therefore, if Zhang Tie really wanted to kill Antorier and win the bet with Sagus, he could only use the constant kinetic strikes of super heavy weapons in close combat. Only in close combat could Zhang Tie have a chance to kill the heavenly demon knight.
After that strike, Zhang Tie had been wounded. After breaking his Five-elements Ring and protective sword wind, Antorier's sharp and fierce battle qi could penetrate into his protective battle qi like needles and blades, causing over 20 fine wounds on Zhang Tie's body in a split second while his blood sprayed in the air …
Zhang Tie didn't feel that at all as he kept his eyes on Antorier's figure.
Of course, Antorier didn't jump in space or move in a flash. Because Antorier's movement speed was too fast and weird, which was over 7 times that of the speed of sound. Additionally, it was silent.
Common wing demons used light weapons such as thorns or forks; however, Antorier used a pair of golden heavy hammers with flowing runes.
In a split second, they were only 1,000 m away from each other.
"Go die …" Antorier revealed a grim smile when he saw Zhang Tie rushing towards him. Closely after that, he shook his hammers and launched a more powerful battle qi strike towards Zhang Tie's head.
At this moment, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes …
When Antorier's second strike was about to fall onto Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie disappeared in front of Antorier in a split second, causing Antorier's strike in the air like how Antorier disappeared in the eyes of others.
In a split second, Zhang Tie's flight speed increased by over 20 times as he reached over 8,000 m per second from the speed of sound.
At the same time, the 18.8-ton huge rod that Sagus gifted to Zhang Tie just now appeared in Zhang Tie's hand …
"Go die …" Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes as he waved his huge rod, blood flowing out of his body.
"Boom …"
The energy of hundreds of billions of Joules broke out in an instant. Like dominoes, the low-hanging dense clouds in the sky of the battlefield were swept into strange shapes by the violent shock wave …
One strike shocked the world!
On the battlefield, numerous human and demon knights were startled …
