On the night of July 18, the 932th year of Black Iron Calendar, in the lofty mountains 300 miles away from Coldwater City in Hicks Peninsula …
"Whoosh …" In the darkness, a crossbow bolt flew out like lightning from a red pine tree that was more than 50 meters tall at the side of a valley. In an instant, it hit the person at the front of a group of people who were groping their way through the rocks on the hillside.
The lightning bolt instantly pierced through the soft armor in front of that person's chest. Amidst the blazing flames, the bolt exploded and engulfed that person in a flash …
The bolt hit the target.
The flame was especially eye-catching in the dark. When the flame broke out, it instantly illuminated thousands of square meters' space in the dark valley.
The ambushed team consisted of five members. The instant the frontmost member was struck by the arrow, the remaining three reacted immediately. The three of them dove in different directions to avoid becoming the second target. While they dove, one of the three held a metal crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger. Amidst the soft sound of the bowstring, the three crossbow bolts shot out in a triangular formation and shot into the leaves of the red pine tree from which the bolts were shot.
With a muffled harrumph, a black shadow fell off the high red pine tree and fell onto the ground heavily.
"Crewe …" With muffled roars, 7 fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire with snake scale tattoos on their faces suddenly rushed out of a shrub. Like a pack of wild wolves, they darted towards the other 3 people who were ambushed by them with red eyes.
At this moment, at least 5 of the 10-odd people released different battle qi responses as they revealed their battle qi totems — — 2 black spiders, 1 centipede, 1 king snake and 1 huge bloody scorpion.
In the language of Sacred Alliance Empire, "Crewe" meant kill.
"Sacred Light Forever …"
The 3 people in the team who had just jumped away roared at the same time as they showed their weapons. At the same time, a bloody battle qi rose from their bodies. Closely after that, the 3 people rushed towards the 7 fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire at the same time.
The battle was short, fierce and bloody. It lasted less than 2 minutes. With the spurting blood and muffled harrumphs and roars caused by sabers and swords piercing into people's bodies, both parties were losing members rapidly. The team of 3 people was soon reduced to 1 person while the 7 fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire were reduced to 3 in the blink of an eye …
At the last moment, the one who had just shot out a bolt at the risk of his life. When three long swords pierced into his body, his long sword also pierced into the chest of the most powerful bloody scorpion fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire. Closely after that, they rolled down the hillside and fell into the pitch-dark valley silently.
Only 2 fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire survived. The two fighters didn't waste time; instead, they gritted their teeth and cleaned up the battlefield rapidly. After chopping off the heads of the two enemies who had already fallen onto the ground, they looked at the deep valley and the steep cliff. After murmuring and negotiating with each other for a short while, they rapidly disappeared into the darkness.
Only blood and corpses were left on the hillside …
…
10 minutes later, Zhang Tie came here in the invisible state. After taking a look at the corpses and the blood stains on the ground, he flew down the steep hillside and the cliff along the blood stains. Finally, he came to the deep and tranquil valley.
In the valley, the two corpses had been badly mutilated. They had lost their breath completely. However, Zhang Tie could still identify their identities from the two corpses.
The fighter who perished together with the fighter of Sacred Alliance Empire was still widely opening his eyes with fury all over his bloody face until his death.
Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and lightly closed this fighter's eyes. Closely after that, he put his hand on this fighter's head. In less than half a minute, he had already read all the memories of this fighter since he was born.
With the secret method of Bloody Soul Sutra, one could still read the contents of his memory soon after his death.
This fighter was indeed a LV 9 member of the corps of Sword of Brilliance of Sacred Light Empire. His name was Fred.
"Later on, I will live in your identity and name for a period. In return, I will avenge you and bury you …" Zhang Tie let out a sigh as he took off a metal plate from the neck of the corpse and told the corpse. Closely after that, he waved his hand, causing a 2-m deep pit on the ground beside that fighter of Sacred Light Empire. After that, Zhang Tie put the corpse into the pit and covered the ground with soil and rocks. Closely after that, he exited the invisible state of the invisible shen bead.
After exiting the invisible state, Zhang Tie's outfit was as same as that fighter of Sacred Light Empire.
Black field boots, leather belt, sharp fine steel long sword, short blade, tight soft armor, a leather field waist bag of the corps of Sword of Brilliance of Sacred Light Empire, field camouflage clothes and a color-changing field cloak of the elite corps of allied human forces on the Western Continent. Besides his look, Zhang Tie was absolutely a member of the corps of Sword of Brilliance of Sacred Light Empire.
Zhang Tie hung that plate over his neck. Closely after that, his body rippled like water. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had changed into Fred's look — — a 20-odd year old man with light brown hair, light green eyes, a low nose, thin lips, slender fingers, prominent palms and a 1-cm long scar below his left ear.
Fred was neither handsome nor ugly. He was just a common youth on the Western Continent. Perhaps because he was born in the corps of Sword of Brilliance of Sacred Light Empire and had many experiences that outsiders didn't know about, his face looked a bit cold and solemn.
Besides his look, Zhang Tie also changed his cultivation method and level in a split second.
When Zhang Tie changed into Fred, he heard running footsteps from afar. The two surviving fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire had already come to the deep valley from another gentle slope and were running towards here. The moment they turned around from behind a huge rock in the valley, they had caught sight of Zhang Tie.
Tonight, there was moonlight and starlight in the sky. Although the valley was dark, there was still some visibility. Especially for these warriors, they could still see clearly what was within a few dozen meters.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, the two fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire were petrified as if they had seen a ghost. Closely after that, their brains froze for 2 seconds.
The enemy who had been hit by three swords and rolled down together with their team leader was standing in front of them safe and sound. On Zhang Tie's side was the corpse of their team leader.
Fighters didn't think too much at this moment. After seeing Zhang Tie standing still, after being stunned for a second, the two fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire roared, "Crewe …" as they rushed towards Zhang Tie while brandishing their long swords.
Zhang Tie drew out his long sword from his waist. Without using any powerful secret method or battle skill, he just charged at them like a cheetah.
Zhang Tie waved his long sword, sending one person's head flying off. Closely after that, he dodged the other person's strike by one step. Closely after that, he stabbed his long sword into the second person's chest like a snake. In the blink of an eye, the battle had come to an end.
After putting away his long sword, Zhang Tie fumbled over the two corpses for a short while and put away the two inflammable grenades. After throwing a glance at this place for the last time, Zhang Tie leaped and disappeared in the dense woods on one side of the valley …
After Zhang Tie left for a few minutes, a pack of huge wolves with green eyes appeared in the valley. After that, the corpses in the valley were left with broken bones …
