None of the knights of Iron-Dragon Sect and the three major sects could imagine that the duel between the two parties was not about punches, sabers and swords, but words. When Taiyi Old Man opened his mouth, some people felt that it was reasonable for the three major sects to send out black invitation cards. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie tore off the faces of the three major sects and trampled them onto the ground.
Under the gaze of so many knights of Taixia Country, Taiyi Old Man, Heavenly Hunyuan and Shenkong Old Man's faces turned black as they had not imagined that they could be fooled by Zhang Tie on this occasion. They almost felt embarrassed.
The onlookers were in a heated discussion; however, the knights of the three major sects remained silent.
"Immortal Qianji is really cunning. If immortal thinks that he could escape from the black invitation cards with such a trivial ability, he's too naive!" Taiyi Old Man directly ignored the onlookers' thoughts as he opened his mouth and erased what had happened just now as if nothing had happened.
"If I wanted to escape, I would not have come here today!" Zhang Tie turned solemn as he said, "As a knight, if you want to fight, just fight. Why don't you be straightforward? Why do you need to find excuses? In this world, the one with the bigger fist is always the truth. Today, the three major sects could send black invitation cards to me and want to kill me in such a dignified way. That's disgusting!"
"It seems that Immortal Qianji really has a lot of prejudice against the three major sects. No wonder immortal would be hostile to the teams of the deputy heads of the three major sects for many times in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect." Taiyi Old Man's voice turned cold as he continued, "It seems that this duel is inevitable for both revenge and reason. However, in order to show the selflessness of the three major sects, only one of us will fight this duel. If immortal could defeat one of us, it means that you've defeated the three major sects. By then, we'll call off the black invitation cards!"
"Is that so? Are you representing the three sects to fight me?"
"Hahaha …" Taiyi Old Man finally revealed a faint smile as his tone turned righteous again, "My aiding skill is Real Sun Fire, which could kill a heavenly knight from 60 miles away. If I fight you, it would be too unfair to you. Therefore, Heavenly Hunyuan will fight you fairly on behalf of us three sects!"
'What? It's Heavenly Hunyuan instead of Taiyi Old Man?'
Hearing this news, Zhang Tie's heart raced at once. It was completely out of his expectation. He felt like punching the air.
The surrounding knights lowered their hubbub in a split second. All the members of Iron-Dragon Sect exchanged glances with each other. Previously, all of them felt that Taiyi Old Man had the biggest chance to win the bet. However, they had not imagined that it was Heavenly Hunyuan who represented the three major sects this time.
'Is it really like what Taiyi Old Man said? The three major sects are really magnanimous when confronting Zhang Tie?'
Many knights who were indignant and disdainful about what the three top sects did just now started to waver. If the three top sects only wanted to kill Zhang Tie, Taiyi Old Man would be the most reliable one. Because everyone in Taixia Country knew that Taiyi Old Man was the No. 1 sage-level knight among the top six sects. Besides Emperor Xuanyuan, no other sage-level knight in the world could match him.
What were the three sects trying to do?
The top sects in Taixia Country were really tricky to deal with. In a split second, Zhang Tie had gained a bit advantage in the confrontation of public opinions; however, in a split second, the top three sects had changed their attitude towards Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie couldn't figure out why Heavenly Hunyuan chose to fight Zhang Tie on behalf of the three top sects. However, he was sure that the three top sects didn't let him go; instead, it meant that the three top sects must have a plan that Zhang Tie didn't know about. They were definitely playing the role of a prostitute and establishing a chastity. Superficially, they treated Zhang Tie leniently and presented a righteous image to the public; however, their real intention might not be simple.
After hearing Taiyi Old Man's words, Taiyi Old Man and Shenkong Old Man exchanged a glance with each other. Closely after that, they didn't say anything else to Zhang Tie as if they were afraid of being caught by Zhang Tie again. Therefore, the two people directly flew back to where the airboats of the three top sects were. Only Heavenly Hunyuan and Zhang Tie were confronting each other in the center of Yinhai with a distance of 10,000 m.
The atmosphere of the battle became intense at once.
"Immortal Qianji, are you ready?" Heavenly Lord Hunyuan frowned and stared straight at Zhang Tie. At the same time, a powerful momentum enveloped Zhang Tie.
'No matter what, now that Heavenly Hunyuan is not more powerful than Taiyi Old Man, it's also a good thing for me. I'll deal with it when it comes.'
Zhang Tie revealed a lazy smile as a golden spear appeared in his hand at once. Heavenly Hunyuan narrowed his eyes as if he was ready to launch a strike. Anyone who knew Zhang Tie knew that his golden spear was extremely powerful and could easily kill low-level knights.
"Don't worry, Heavenly Hunyuan. This spear is not for you; it's just for the convenience of recording time!" Zhang Tie joked as he threw the golden spear towards a hillside on the ground.
The golden spear fell on a huge rock on the hillside. It didn't completely sink in; instead, it only sank in about 30 cm. Additionally, when the golden spear sank in, its battle qi created a huge plane with a diameter of several meters and a circular mark on the surface of the huge rock. The moment the sun rose in the morning, the shadow of the golden spear had fallen on a circular mark on the huge rock.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had created a huge sundial.
"Our duel starts at 3 pm today. It's not even past 3 pm. Can't the three sects wait to launch a strike? When it's 3 pm, Heavenly Hunyuan could launch a strike for sure. As for now, I'm going to take a rest before the duel!" As Zhang Tie said that, regardless of how bad Heavenly Hunyuan's look was, he ran his spiritual energy and formed a small cloud composed of water mist above his head, which covered the sunlight like an umbrella. Closely after that, he sat in the air with crossed legs and closed his eyes as if he was really going to take a rest and adjust his breath.
Zhang Tie's calmness before the duel won the admiration of many onlooking knights.
Immortal Hunyuan sneered as he was not afraid of Zhang Tie's trick anymore. It was just a few hours, which would pass in the blink of an eye for knights on their level.
When Heavenly Hunyuan thought about this, he also sat in the air with crossed legs as he closed his eyes and started to take a rest …
…
In Datang City, it was the first sunny day after the snow. Accompanied by Elder Muyu, Lan Yunxi entered the third prince's mansion once again for hunting at the invitation of the third prince …
