Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1976 - Overwhelming Strikes (VI)
The giant image of six-wing kin roc appeared above clouds, facing towards the ground. Under such a giant frame, all the demon knights were escaping in all directions with fear like insects…
“Ah…” Before a shadow wing demon who was flying tens of thousands of meters high in the air under clouds made any response, Zhang Tie’s image of king roc had approached it. The six-wing king roc then broke through the clouds with its over 10,000 m long huge claw and crushed the shadow wing demon like how an eagle caught an insect.
The shadow wing demon’s miserable shrieks rocked the air zone. All the wing demons were afraid of king rock instinctively.
The clouds as long as hundreds of miles were instantly smashed as the powerful image of king roc finally approached those demon knights with destructive momentum.
At this moment, besides demon knights, even thousands of wing demons were escaping as fast as they could. When Zhang Tie’s virtual image of king roc covered the sky, many ordinary wing demons instantly felt soft all over as they all fell off the sky like how weak animals saw terrifying natural enemies.
When king roc’s virtual image flapped its wings, the wind element surged out of Elements Realm at once and attacked those demons in terms of two heavenly cyan tornadoes. In an instant, thousands of wing demons had been involved in. Even ordinary black iron demon knights could barely survive it in the air. On the ground, whenever Fuyao passed, it would devastate those ground demon forces like how hurricanes killed ants. When the two tornadoes passed by, they instantly collapsed some demon armies. As a result, a greater part of ground demon forces disappeared in such a short period of time.

The cyan tornadoes were called Fuyao, which was a powerful, wide-range lethal skill carried by the virtual image of king roc.
“Boom…” When the virtual image of king roc reached out its claw again, it instantly broke a moving air-borne beehive-sized battle fortress into pieces.
“Sagus…” Zhang Tie shouted as his virtual image of king roc disappeared, revealing his original look.
As an abyss monarch of demons, when the army of demons evacuated from the encampment in Anzhou Province, of course, Sagus was not good enough to bring up the rear for the demon army by blocking the pursuing troops of Taixia Country. Additionally, as the situation in the direction of Force Province was unclear, Sagus was not foolish enough to rush to the front of the evacuating demon army and explore the way forward for its team. It just hid in the middle of the evacuating demon army together with more than 10 senior demon knights. They were leaving for the northwest of Anzhou Province. Given their route, they appeared to want to enter Pingzhou Province and Xianzhou Province before evacuating from Dingzhou Province or Tongzhou Province. In this way, they could make a detour around Force Province.
Of course, Zhang Tie would not allow Sagus to leave. When the virtual image of six-wing king roc passed through the clouds, Zhang Tie had blocked the way of Sagus’ team.
When the powerful virtual image of king roc descended, it greatly frightened Sagus and its core subordinates. However, Sagus didn’t imagine that it was a “familiar person” in front after the disappearance of the virtual image of king roc.
Compared to that person at the bank of Weishui River, Zhang Tie’s look almost remained unchanged. He was still like a teenager. However, his qi had been different than before.
“Zhang Tie…” Sagus screamed while it spotted Zhang Tie who was over 50,000 m away in front, eyes red.
“It’s me, Sagus…” Zhang Tie replied as he watched Sagus calmly.
“Impossible. Didn’t you die at Yinhai Desert in Shazhou Province?” Nobody else would bring Sagus greater shock than Zhang Tie; because it could never forget the lesson that Zhang Tie gave it at the bank of Weishui River. Given Sagus’ words, it didn’t know that Zhang Tie had already returned to Youzhou yet or the news from demons’ encampment in Force Province had been discontinued before reaching him.
“Of course, it’s me!” Zhang Tie lowered his tone, “You’re still alive. So were those demon knights who’re encroaching Taixia Country and human territory. How could I die? If I died in that way, who would pick your head and avenge the death of Crown Prince Changying?”
Zhang Tie said as Heavens-Separation Sword appeared in his hand.
He could choose to not kill Sagus with Heavens Separation Sword; however, if he wanted to kill more demon knights in the shortest period of time, Heavens Separation Sword was his best choice; because this weapon’s strike could cross 100,000 m in a split second; additionally, it could break silver secret items and break knights’ protective battle qi easily. As a golden secret item, Heavens Separation Sword was the natural enemy of silver secret items and protective battle qi. Additionally, there were very few golden secret items in this world. Therefore, Heavens Separation Sword’s sharpness appeared to be more brilliant.
It was Sagus who assassinated Crown Prince in Jinzhou Province. After knowing that Sagus was at demons’ encampment in Anzhou Province, Zhang Tie especially dealt with demons’ encampment in Anzhou Province in the end. He just wanted to chop off Sagus’ head himself to avenge the death of Crown Prince Changying, consoling his friend’s soul and boosting the morale of soldiers and commoners across Taixia Country. He wanted to show hope of victory to all the people in this holy war. That also explained why Zhang Tie showed the trump card Infinite King Roc Sutra; because Zhang Tie knew what a powerhouse who cultivated an emperor-level secret method and had promoted to a sage-level knight meant for Taixia Country and Hua people.
Although the emperor could die, people’s hearts shouldn’t!
“Kill him…” Sagus roared with fury as it pointed at Zhang Tie. Almost at the same time, over 10 demon knights above heavenly knights formed 4 three-in-one battle formation and rushed towards Zhang Tie with Sagus.
Zhang Tie slightly shook his head as the battle formation without formation beads was not a real battle formation at all. Previously, Zhang Tie felt that such a battle formation was great. However, when he came back from Motian Realm, he found such battle formations were rough, not to mention a battle formation composed of heavenly knights.
Before the 10-odd heavenly knights rushed to Zhang Tie’s front, Zhang Tie had already slashed his Heavens Separation Sword.
In an instant, an overwhelming sword qi had submerged those heavenly demon knights…
The battle formation of heavenly demon knights was shattered; their silver secret items’ material forms were crushed; their protective battle qi was smashed; closely after that, their bodies were shattered into pieces too.
The battle formation of more than 10 heavenly demon knights couldn’t even withstand Zhang Tie’s one sword strike.
Watching Zhang Tie rushing over there, Sagus almost cracked its eyes out of fury. Meanwhile, it emitted a purple-red light, involving Zhang Tie in his private territory immediately.
It was like a misty ocean inside Sagus’ private territory. It was covered with heavy black fog. Numerous demon knights appeared in the black fog and charged at Zhang Tie.
However, before those demon knights approached Zhang Tie, they had been crushed by the ubiquitous protective sword wind around Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie stepped in the air and flew towards Sagus at lightning speed.
Meanwhile, the black fog turned into towering billows and charged at Zhang Tie from all directions.
Sagus roared as he took out an odd-looking black saber. He then slashed towards Zhang Tie with the huge saber. The surging saber qi then turned into a black boa with a horn on its head before lurking in the billows, arousing heavier wind and greater billows. Meanwhile, it widely opened its mouth and bared its sharp fangs before charging at Zhang Tie…
Zhang Tie slashed his sword, filling the entire private territory of Sagus with his surging sword qi at once just like how a hot sun broke out of the clouds…
The towering billows were instantly shattered. The black boa was beheaded too.
At this moment, Zhang Tie had already come to Sagus’ front. Before Sagus launched a second strike, its head had been chopped off and was caught by Zhang Tie’s hand.
“Zhang Tie, even though you could kill me, you can not change the fate that Taixia Country is destined to die.”
Although its head had been chopped off and was in Zhang Tie’s hand, Sagus still spoke with a faint, weird and grim smile. It didn’t close its eyes until it finished these words.
“Boom…” Sagus’ body and private territory were crushed in a split second. Lifting Sagus’ head, Zhang Tie reappeared on the battlefield.
Sagus’ last words and grim and weird expression caused Zhang Tie’s heart to palpitate once. However, on this occasion, Zhang Tie didn’t think too much about that. After teleporting Sagus’ head into his portable space-teleportation equipment, Zhang Tie looked around and spotted a shadow iron-armored demon knight who was escaping in a flurried manner over hundreds of miles away. Zhang Tie then darted towards that demon knight.
A shadow demon knight was as weak as an insect in Zhang Tie’s eyes. However, Zhang Tie knew that this shadow demon knight was an insurmountable mountain in front of black iron human knights and earth human knights, not to mention those ordinary human fighters. If he killed that shadow demon knight, he probably would save a lot of people’s lives.
In less than 10 seconds, Zhang Tie had narrowed the distance between him and that shadow demon knight to tens of thousands of meters. With a flash of his Heavens Separation Sword, that shadow demon knight’s body had been smashed by his sword qi…
After that, Zhang Tie spotted another shadow demon knight who was escaping over 250 miles away. Zhang Tie then chased after it…
Half a minute later, after killing two more black iron demon knights and one earth demon knight, Zhang Tie shattered the second shadow demon knight with his Heavens Separation Sword.
In this way, Zhang Tie alone chased after tens of thousands of demon knights like how a fierce tiger chased after a pack of rabbits, causing those demon knights to wail like ghosts as they were almost scared sh*t out of them…
Not knowing how long had passed, after shattering the last shadow wing demon knight, Zhang Tie looked around as he found that he had already left Anzhou Province and entered Pingzhou Province. He couldn’t even see any more shadow demon knights within 600 miles. Only some small fishes and shrimps were fleeing in a flurried way.
After feeling something abnormal behind him, Zhang Tie turned around as he saw a streak of white light shooting towards him.
In the direction of Anzhou Province, he saw tens of thousands of Taixia knights’ battle qi rushing into the sky. It meant that Taixia knights had already arrived and were chasing after those demon knights. As a result, those air-borne demon battle fortresses were smashed into pieces by Taixia powerhouses with booms or falling to the ground…
That streak of white light stopped 1,000 m away in front of Zhang Tie, revealing Zuoqiu Mingyue’s original look, sword in hand.
“Hahaha, Lord Military God, long time no see…” Zhang Tie laughed as he greeted Zuoqiu Mingyue.
“It’s really you!” When he confirmed that was Zhang Tie, Zuoqiu Mingyue sighed with gratification; especially shock. “Where’s Sagus?”
“I’ve already killed Sagus. As for the rest things, it’s your job, lord. I will not scramble for meritorious deeds with your subordinates. I have to return to Youzhou Province to reunite with my family…” Zhang Tie hid his Heavens Separation Sword as he cupped his hands towards Zuoqiu Mingyue with a smile. After that, he rushed into the sky and revealed his virtual image of king roc. He then flapped his feathered wings and flew towards Youzhou Province…
On August 17, the 932th year of Black Iron Calendar, Zhang Tie returned to Taixia Country. On the same day, he destroyed three demons’ encampments in the collapsed territory of Taixia Country; killed four sage-level knights and over 100,000 demon knights alone and destroyed thousands of demon corps. The turning point of the third holy war between humans and demons arrived…
