Chapter 1170: Fighting a Powerful Enemy at Full Efforts (II)
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
With the ability of a divine dominator, Zhang Tie was tied with Han Zhengfang in this situation.
Shadow knights were very powerful; however, Han Zhengfang had been severely injured and suffered a great loss in vitality. Therefore, he could not respond to Zhang Tie’s strikes as easily as ordinary shadow knights.
Han Zhengfang’s shadow-knight level protective battle qi was like a thick alloy armor for Zhang Tie. It really had a great protective effect. Additionally, Han Zhengfang might cultivate a secret method of Bloody Soul Temple which could grant him with a super strong defensive power. This point could correspond to the thick shell of the immortal beast that Han Zhengfang manifested in Sincerity Garden.
The moment they started the fight, both Zhang Tie and Han Zhengfang were thinking about killing the opponent as fast as possible. Therefore, in a split second, they immediately entered the fiercest close combat.
Han Zhengfang’s shadow-knight level protective battle qi could not be broken through by Zhang Tie in a short period; however, Zhang Tie’s ability as a divine dominator also shocked Han Zhengfang too much.
Zhang Tie had already put away the silver secret heavy hammer into Castle of Black Iron. In this occasion, unless Han Zhengfang stood still and waited for Zhang Tie’s strike with the silver secret heavy hammer, it would be too hard for him to manipulate a weapon weighing tons to attack Han Zhengfang; additionally, it was almost in vain. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly put away the silver secret heavy hammer.
After realizing that he couldn’t teleport the gold-eaten dagger into his portable space-teleportation equipment and that he had to give up the attacking force of one hand by clutching that heavily struggling gold-eaten dagger, Han Zhengfang let go the gold-eaten dagger.
After the silver secret heavy hammer entered Castle of Black Iron, two silver secret shields came out of Castle of Black Iron and started to fly around Zhang Tie; plus the gold-eaten dagger and the other two silver secret weapons, Zhang Tie could manipulate the 5 weapons and equipment at the same time which combined both defensive and attacking effects. Plus Zhang Tie himself, Han Yuanhong felt like being besieged by more than 5 earth knights.
The aftermath of their collisions and the attached destructive effects of their battle skills messed up the entire Canglan Palace in only a few minutes. The entire underground space below Canglan Palace was rocking. Numerous boulders fell off the cliff above their heads; some boulders weighed hundreds even thousands of tons, smashing those terraces and open halls inside Canglan Palace.
Zhang Tie finally experienced the power of a shadow knight. Even in this situation, Han Zhengfang’s casual blow could be barely resisted by Zhang Tie’s silver secret shield. Only after colliding Han Zhengfang twice by force in the close combat, Zhang Tie had felt breathless and spurted out blood while being affected by the aftermath and shocks of Han Zhengfang’s strikes, although his protective battle qi was not broken.
A lean camel was bigger than a horse.
The speed, strength, defensive ability and battle consciousness of a shadow knight were not on the same order of magnitude with that of an earth knight. If not having rich battle experience and a much greater knight’s consciousness than the other earth knights and the multi-tasking ability as a divine dominator, he had long been severely injured or killed by Han Zhengfang after a few minutes of combat.
Zhang Tie also sensed what Han Zhengfang was thinking about——kill the opponent through close combat as fast as possible!
Han Zhengfang was even more urgently desiring for killing Zhang Tie.
‘Why Han Zhengfang was so urgent?’
Such a whim flashed through Zhang Tie’s mind in the close combat.
‘Because Han Zhengfang couldn’t bear a long time close combat like this. In another word, he couldn’t stand a long time high-intensity combat consumption anymore. Han Zhengfang is consuming his battle strength much faster than his recovering speed. The wounds that were left in Xuanyuan Hill and the wounds that were caused by me have almost made him exhausted. If he doesn’t kill me as fast as possible, as long as he reveals his fatigued look and couldn’t maintain his advantage in battle strength over me or I fetched a powerful assistant, he would die for sure. Additionally, there’s definitely not another palace of Bloody Soul Temple as secret as Canglan Palace near Xuanyuan Hill, where he could recover his wounds without any concern.
After thinking through this point, Zhang Tie immediately altered his combat strategy by extending the distance between him and Han Zhengfang.
‘Prevent your enemy from reaching his target.’ This was the essence of all the combats.
People required braveness and wisdom when in fight.
Zhang Tie soon got rid of the state of close combat. Because he was completely using his ability as a divine dominator to manipulate his battle armor to move in the air, he could move in an unimaginable traces and speed. Even Han Zhengfang could not catch up with him as a shadow knight.
“Who the hell are you? There are very few divine dominators in Taixia Country. Only Immortal Penglai Island could enlighten the ability of divine dominator secretly. Whether you’re dominating everything tonight in Xuanyuan Hill?” Han Zhengfang roared with bloody eyes as he chased closely after Zhang Tie. When he saw Zhang Tie leaving his combat circle, he sped up towards Zhang Tie; meanwhile, he shot a battle qi by fingers, which finally formed a bloody sword, towards Zhang Tie at a super high speed.
Being besieged by the three weapons, Han Zhengfang’s movement was greatly affected. At this moment, a silver secret shield crashed onto Han Zhengfang’s protective battle qi, slowed down Han Zhengfang’s chasing speed at once. At the same time, the virtual bloody sword that was shot from Han Zhengfang’s two fingers was blocked by another silver secret shield in a delicate way. Closely after that, the virtual bloody sword altered its direction and shot onto the earth, causing a bottomless hole as large as the rim of a bowl.
Zhang Tie expanded the distance between him and Han Zhengfang to over 70 m once again.
Han Zhengfang’s roar shocked Zhang Tie faintly, ‘Immortal Penglai Island in Taixia Country could enlighten the ability of divine dominator?’ That was a key information. After coming to Taixia Country, Zhang Tie had not gained any information about divine dominator. He just tapped the ability of divine dominator himself. That was why he didn’t figure out the flying ability of divine dominator until he promoted to an earth knight. If Zhang Tie had long known that there were divine dominators in Immortal Penglai Island, he might not need to take so many wrong ways; instead, he could visit Immortal Penglai Island and exchange with the divine dominators over there.
‘This might be the accidental achievement of this combat.’
When Zhang Tie thought about it, he didn’t slow down his movements; not to mention sparing any chance for Han Zhengfang to take a rest. Zhang Tie immediately ran his spirit while a row of sharp metal spikes on the back of his Chaos flew off and joined the combat.
This was an attached striking pattern that Edward especially designed for Zhang Tie as a divine dominator. There were totally 21 sharp spikes on the back of the Chaos. Besides being extremely sharp, their rims were like sawteeth. Such a design could grant these sharp spikes with a great destructive effect; additionally, they could cut knight’s protective battle qi like sawing wood when they move at a high speed, causing a great pressure to a knight’s protective battle qi.
Zhang Tie was manipulating 3 weapons, 2 shields and his Chaos using his ability as a divine dominator and his multi-tasking ability. Without exposing the secret of Castle of Black Iron, he had 14 sharp spikes fly off the back of his Chaos at once and join in the combat like a wolf pack which had smelt the blood.
Han Zhengfang’s protective battle qi formed an illuminant
Han Zhengfang’s illuminant protective battle qi had to sustain hundreds of times’ strikes in each second. Although these strikes could not break through Han Zhengfang’s protective battle qi at once, they caused Han Zhengfang’s protective battle qi to quiver constantly like ripples at such a high frequency…
Han Zhengfang wanted to involve Zhang Tie in this battle once again; he darted towards Zhang Tie many times; however, Zhang Tie always stayed 50 m away from Han Zhengfang while moving flexibly at the current speed.
A shield flew around Han Zhengfang which could stop him from moving freely and block the greater part of his strikes towards Zhang Tie; the other shield just stayed on Zhang Tie’s side so as to withstand the remaining strikes that escaped from the first shield.
Han Zhengfang roared out of fury as he hit left and right; however, he couldn’t break through this huge net made by Zhang Tie.
In the beginning, Zhang Tie was just thinking about consuming Han Zhengfang’s battle strength. Gradually, Zhang Tie found that he could use the same method to kill all the shadow knights step by step.
This was the method that he could use to deal with high-level shadow knights as an earth knight benefited from the object manipulation ability of a divine dominator, also the real reason that divine dominator was awe-inspiring…
Only after 5 minutes, Han Zhengfang had realized that he couldn’t keep going in this way; otherwise, he would be killed for sure by this divine dominator…
