Chapter 1164: Second Kill

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Knights had very strong vitality, which commoners might find unimaginable.

Even a common fighter would not die right away after his head was chopped off on the battlefield. Actually, after an ordinary knight’s head was chopped off, he would still be clear-minded for dozens of seconds, even a few minutes. Sometimes, he could still blink his eyes while trying to shriek miserably or say something. Even if one fighter suffered from an unimaginable, fatal wound, he might also stick to a few hours in a miraculous way. After experiencing so many battles, whether large or small, Zhang Tie had witnessed and encountered such similar occasions.

Even commoners could display a strong vitality in emergencies, not to mention an earth knight.

When the gold-eaten dagger entered Han Yuanhong’s body, it broke Han Yuanhong’s heart. Closely after that, Zhang Tie released his battle qi and shattered his heart into pieces. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie manipulated a longsword to open a terrifying wound from Han Yuanhong’s chest to his lower abdomen, breaking Han Yuanhong’s guts severely.

Although suffering such severe wounds, Han Yuanhong didn’t die immediately; instead, his muscles all over shrunk and closed the wounds in a split second. Meanwhile, Han Yuanhong released his battle qi tornado and was going to launch a counter-attack...

Of course, Han Yuanhong would not succeed his counter-attack. If Zhang Tie lost this battle when he had taken the initiative, he deserved the death.

Han Yuanhong exerted his full efforts to hit Zhang Tie’s face using the rear of his head; however, Zhang Tie directly crashed his face against Han Yuanhong’s rear of head forcefully. This time, Han Yuanhong further tasted Zhang Tie’s iron body which was benefited by iron-body fruits. As a result, Zhang Tie was firm; however, sparkles flew before Han Yuanhong’s eyes as he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Almost at the same time, Han Yuanhong thrust his right elbow against Zhang Tie’s chest ferociously. Zhang Tie accepted it frankly safe and sound; at the same time, one snake-shaped short dagger suddenly appeared in Han Yuanhong’s right hand as it was stabbed against Zhang Tie’s back. However, Zhang Tie nipped it between his arm and his body.

Before Han Yuanhong made his 4th counter-attack, Zhang Tie had already thrust onto Han Yuanhong’s tailbone forcefully using his knee. In a split second, Han Yuanhong’s pelvic bone was shattered. At the same time, the longsword under Zhang Tie’s spiritual control stabbed against Han Yuanhong’s lower abdomen for hundreds of times, messing up his qi sea.

When two earth knights started a close combat, they would always risk their lives. In only a few seconds, the breathtaking, cruel and bloody close combat had come to an end. Han Yuanhong’s final struggles were collapsed by Zhang Tie.

Although Han Yuanhong failed in his counter-attack, since his battle qi tornado rose up a few seconds ago, Zhang Tie had known that this location had been exposed. As there were so many knights outside Xuanyuan Hill, as long as they caught sight of this battle qi tornado, knight-level powerhouses of Supreme Court and the other onlookers would arrive here.

As the water smelt bloody.

Zhang Tie immediately stomped onto the mud at the bottom of the lake, causing a large amount of mud to mix with water. Closely after that, Zhang Tie sped up as he opened the siphon tunnel connecting Castle of Black Iron. Together with Han Yuanhong in his hand, Zhang Tie flashed far away in water at a speed faster than knight’s flight speed in the sky.

When Zhang Tie flashed far away in water, he triggered his purgatory samsara method. Before Han Yuanhong died, Zhang Tie started to refine Han Yuanhong’s water chakra.

When Fang Xinyi and her partners arrived at the spot, as was predicted by Zhang Tie, they were attracted by the muddy water immediately. However, at that time, Zhang Tie had already arrived at 60 miles away and stopped in a riprap at the bottom of the lake. Nobody could imagine that anyone could move so fast in water.

...

Han Yuanhong was the most powerful earth knight that Zhang Tie had ever seen.

Zhang Tie estimated that Han Yuanhong’s battle strength was even higher than that of Old Monster Qi, that demon knight who had been sacrificed in the bloody sacrifice furnace and Mountain Lifting Hermit.

Pitifully, Han Yuanhong met Zhang Tie. An ambush plus the strike of a divine dominator, Han Yuanhong actually faced the attack of more than two Zhang Tie. Any earth knight would be killed facing such a powerful raid.

What was more pessimistic was that Han Yuanhong didn’t know who killed him until death. He always wanted to turn around to see Zhang Tie’s face; however, before Zhang Tie’s face reflected in Han Yuanhong’s eyes, his eyes had completely lost brilliance as he widely opened his eyes unwillingly.

Before death, Han Yuanhong felt too depressed and confused. He couldn’t think through how he was ambushed at the exit of the escape passage although he behaved so mysteriously; additionally, the one who ambushed him was too terrifying. There was one moment that Han Yuanhong even thought that he was ambushed by a shadow knight. Because shadow knights who had formed water chakra could have a powerful battle strength in water; additionally, shadow knights excelled at concealing themselves in water. All these features fit the situation.

Han Yuanhong could only see the excessively young arm over his neck. Given the skin on the arm, it should belong to a teenager. Although it didn’t look as sturdy as that of Hercules, the strength of this arm made him despaired. The pure physical strength from that arm made Han Yuanhong think that it was not muscles in the arm, but some underground dragons who were drawing a capstan. What was more despairing was that the one who ambushed him was not a shadow knight, but an earth knight who was refining his water chakra with a powerful external strength in a secret method in which the alchemist demon ranked first on the wanted list of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country and was unrivaled among humans and demons ——Purgatory Samsara Method.

Han Yuanhong was pushed into the hell by Purgatory Samsara Method.

‘Everything in Xuanyuan Hill today is related to alchemist demon. It must be alchemist demon’s disciple or subordinate who ambushes me. As alchemist demon is already a heavenly knight, he would not absorb water-element crystals anymore. Only earth knight would absorb water elements in Purgatory Samsara Method. I must have seen this person. I’ve been trapped by this guy’s secret method unconsciously. This person’s secret method might be similar to the soul-chasing spiritual butterfly. Therefore, he could get hang of my trace; additionally, this person also knows the secret identity of my father.’ Han Yuanhong suddenly became clear-minded at the end of his life while his face turned brilliant once again. He had figured out many questions in a split second. If possible, he would send a message to his father using remote-sensing crystal at this moment; pitifully, all of his remote-sensing crystals had been taken away since he lost his ability to launch a counter-attack. Besides ambushing him, that person was also very meticulous and spared no chance for Han Yuanhong to reverse the result of the battle.

At the end of his life, Han Yuanhong exerted his full strength as he uttered, “Who...are...you?”

“Guess...”

After being silent for a second, the one on his back replied which sounded pretty young. At this moment, the two words sounded a bit humorous more or less.

Han Yuanhong couldn’t guess it; neither could he laugh out; he just widely opened his eyes until death.

...

Being in water, Zhang Tie just watched Han Yuanhong as if he was looking at a dead fish. When he found Han Yuanhong’s eyes faded brilliance and the faint shocked expression and anguished twist on Han Yuanhong’s face, Zhang Tie felt calm as if nothing had happened.

“Hoho, how about that? I killed you. Forgot to tell you, I also killed your young brother. As you father wants to kill me and all of my family members, I could only kill you.” Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile as he said, “You’re the second kill that I prepared for your family; there’s only one left!”

If it was a kittie or a puppy that had just been flattened to death by a car on the road, Zhang Tie might feel a bit sympathetic or a bit sad; however, since he witnessed how demons and Three-eye Association turned hundreds of millions of alive people into demonized puppets in Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie’s heart had turned extremely cold towards demons and all the lackeys of demons. He would never pity any of those sons of btches. As for Zhang Tie, even though these bstards were alive, they were just dried, spiritless firewoods. He would not have any mood swings even if he split these b*stards into pieces and burned them like burning firewoods.

If it were in another place, Zhang Tie could have more time to deal with Han Yuanhong without arousing the attention of anyone else. If so, Han Yuanhong might still be alive at this moment. After refining his water chakra in Purgatory Samsara Method, Zhang Tie would really throw this b*stard into bloody sacrifice furnace and burn it like burning firewood. He would only regard it as recycling wastes. However, at the critical moment, he had to kill the powerful earth knight in the shortest period in terms of ambush. He was not allowed to have any fluke mind when in the fight. He had to end the battle as fast as possible in the most ferocious way. To capture an earth knight alive was not as difficult as killing an earth knight. When he shattered Han Yuanhong’s heart into pieces, Han Yuanhong had been destined to die; it was just a matter of time.

The short period that Han Yuanhong could stand based on his tenacious vitality was also required by Zhang Tie as he could refine Han Yuanhong’s water chakra Purgatory Samsara Method during this period.

It was out of Zhang Tie’s imagination that he could refine Han Yuanhong’s water chakra completely in such a short period. At such a critical moment, Zhang Tie thought that he was lucky enough if he could refine half of Han Yuanhong’s water chakra.

‘He must have taken too many rare tonics. What a strong vitality! Hahaha...’ Zhang Tie laughed out.

If he knew this result, Han Yuanhong might be regretful that he didn’t choose to commit suicide at the beginning.
