Castle of Black Iron

Watching Tang Mei flashing inside ahead of him, of course, Zhang Tie, as a man, was unwilling to lag behind. He followed Tang Mei in closely through the gap of the gate.

There was a long tunnel higher than 100 m behind the gate. It was a bit dim inside the tunnel. There were evident damages and collapses inside it. In the well-preserved places, gloomy odd rune light was flowing over the ground. The entire tunnel was in dead silence just like a tunnel in an underground grave. They felt restless.

Watching those broken places in the tunnel, Zhang Tie took in a deep breath.

If they were broken rocks or metals, Zhang Tie wouldn’t feel strange about them; however, all the broken places were made of a special material being neither stone nor metal. It was similar to the material of time tower that he once saw in Earth-Element Realm in Taixia Country. In Zhang Tie’s eyes, this material was almost as indestructible as Infinite Immortal Prison. However, there was many damages inside this tunnel. Therefore, Zhang Tie wondered what sort of force could destroy this material.

Zhang Tie instantly felt something was wrong with the qi. His Heavens-Separation Sword also appeared in his hand at once.

He couldn’t fly in Buzhou Mountain; additionally, as it was relatively narrow here, he couldn’t give full play to his black huge tower. By contrast, this shorter saber or sword would be much proper.

Although walking on the ground, they didn’t make any sound.

After walking about 3 miles, they turned a corner. Closely after that, Zhang Tie saw a corpse lying there.

It was a human powerhouse’s corpse leaning against the corner between the two walls. Zhang Tie didn’t know how many years it had lain there. The corpse was in a set of completely broken immortal outfit. However, that corpse’s head almost touched its back. What was strange, the corpse appeared to have not rotten; instead, it was still well-preserved. Additionally, the corpse’s surface looked dark gold. It was a bit weird.

When the two people passed by it, the corpse instantly opened its eyes. Closely after that, it stood up and charged at Zhang Tie and Tang Mei. Before it touched them, it had already released a dense mass of dark gold battle qi towards Zhang Tie through its fist.

The dense mass of battle qi strike was as powerful as that of a top supreme-level immortal general although it couldn’t match that of an immortal emperor or demon emperor.

Zhang Tie was startled as he jumped up and avoided that battle qi strike at once. Closely after that, he charged at the corpse at lightning speed and waved his Heavens-Separation Sword. Then, its head which was half connected to its neck was chopped off and sent flying far away. After that, a sharper and more powerful sword qi arrived from Zhang Tie’s back, chopping that headless corpse into pieces before falling to the ground.

The noise here appeared to be able to arouse the attention of the other things. Soon after they smashed the corpse, they had heard rustles at the end of the tunnel, which caused them to break out gooseflesh all over.

“Hurry, go. Otherwise, we will be blocked in this tunnel…” Tang Mei who behaved meticulously just now instantly darted forward at lightning speed, closely followed by Zhang Tie. When he passed by a piece of the corpse, he even took off a finger ring from its finger. Almost at the same time, he teleported the finger ring into Castle of Black Iron.

Zhang Tie and Tang Mei both moved very fast. Even though they were running on the ground, they could still reach over 10,000 m per second. They didn’t even leave any shadow. Before they rushed out of this long tunnel, they had seen a dense mass of bloody deities’ battle puppets charging at them from the end of the tunnel.

“Rush over…”Zhang Tie quivered once his Heavens-Separation Sword as a swirling tornado of dense sword qi swept over those deities’ battle puppets.

The first deities’ battle puppet was instantly shattered into pieces by the sword qi of Zhang Tie’s Heavens-Separation Sword.

As a golden secret item, Heavens-Separation Sword could finally give full play to its power in Zhang Tie’s hand at this moment.

After smashing some deities’ battle puppets, Heavens-Separation Sword started to reduce its power. At the same time, Tang Mei’s sharper and more powerful sword qi turned into a streak of golden light and smashed those deities’ battle puppets in front at once.

Zhang Tie and Tang Mei instantly broke out of this tunnel with a sword.

It was a colossal space in the hinterland of Buzhou Mountain outside the tunnel. It was even larger than the former palace. The space in the hinterland had many portals in different directions. Additionally, there were three stairs upwards. One was facing Zhang Tie, the other two were on his two sides.

There were more deities’ battle puppets here, over 500 in total. Besides those bloody battle puppets, Zhang Tie even found a dark blue deities’ battle puppet among them.

The dark blue deities’ battle puppet was 20 cm higher than those bloody battle puppets. It looked stronger. When it pointed at Zhang Tie and Tang Mei who had just rushed into the lobby with a spear in his hand, all the other deities’ battle puppets had rushed towards Zhang Tie and Tang Mei like a tide.

“The dark blue deities’ battle puppet is as powerful as immortal emperor. I will deal with it. The exit is above the stairs on the left…”

The stairs on the left were behind these deities’ battle puppets. If they wanted to reach there, they must pass through these deities’ battle puppets.

After communicating with Zhang Tie rapidly, Tang Mei jumped up like a snow-white lotus flower and charged at that dark blue deities’ battle puppet by stepping on the heads of those bloody deities’ battle puppets and those sabers and swords in terms of a streak of white light.

Tang Mei blew up all the heads that she stepped on by her foot. Meanwhile, all the sabers and swords that she stepped on would blow up together with deities’ battle puppets’ arms. All the deities’ battle puppets that she had passed by would reel right and left like being plowed…

It was Zhang Tie’s first time to witness Tang Mei’s battle force. He admired her to the extreme. Without exaggeration, Tang Mei was absolutely the most powerful woman that he had ever met.

With a growl, Zhang Tie rushed towards those deities’ battle puppets. Meanwhile, the sword qi of his Heavens-Separation Sword in his right hand surged 10 times in an instant, covering the space within 100 m. At the same time, he punched out his left fist as a huge hot sun with the light&shade of spike shrimp jumped out of the billows of the sword qi and shew up in the space of the hinterland, brightly lighting everything in the surroundings…

Facing Zhang Tie’s punches and slashes, those deities’ battle puppets were shattered.

When deities’ battle puppets were approaching Zhang Tie, they would face his heavy protective sword wind and Pupil Swordsmanship strike.

Facing this strike, Zhang Tie killed all the deities’ battle puppets who dared block him and marched forward rapidly along the way that Tang Mei had just created…

…

A few minutes later…

With a loud boom, the dark blue deities’ battle puppets were broken into pieces by Tang Mei while they were sent flying in all directions. Those bloody deities’ battle puppets became temporarily stunned. At this moment, Tang Mei turned around and slashed some deities’ battle puppets into pieces in front of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie stamped to the ground and instantly darted forward. Meanwhile, he inserted his Heavens-Separation Sword into the chest of deities’ battle puppet on his way. Before the deities’ battle puppet slashed its saber towards Zhang Tie, it had been shattered into pieces and turned into a bloody rain by the sword qi of Heavens-Separation Sword.

In the end, Zhang Tie punched backward and broke over 10 deities’ battle puppets into pieces as if they were toys. Meanwhile, he moved backwards and broke out of the encirclement of the deities’ battle puppets and reached the stairs on the left of the space together with Tang Mei. Closely after that, they rushed upwards.

Zhang Tie thought those deities’ battle puppets wouldn’t follow them just like those outside. Unexpectedly, even though Tang Mei and Zhang Tie had rushed onto the stairs, those deities’ battle puppets also followed them up as if they wouldn’t stop until they caught up with them.

Zhang Tie was startled.

However, those deities’ battle puppets couldn’t move as fast as Zhang Tie and Tang Mei. When they sped up, they instantly expanded the distance between them and those deities’ battle puppets.

The winding stairs appeared to have no ends. When he and Tang Mei rushed upwards rapidly, Zhang Tie asked her with his battle qi, “Will those deities’ battle puppets stop chasing us?”

“No! These deities’ battle puppets inside Buzhou Mountain shoulder different duties than those outside. Those deities’ battle puppets would not follow you in; however, these deities’ battle puppets would follow you up all the way!”

‘F*ck!’

‘If we continue like this, we would die sooner or later no matter.’

“Is there any solution?”

“Yes, there is!”

“What?”

“When they think that they cannot find us, they will return to the original places!” Tang Mei replied when they had rushed out of the winding stairs and entered a bigger space. When they didn’t see any deities’ battle puppet here, they instantly became relaxed. However, before Zhang Tie asked where they were heading for, Tang Mei suddenly caught his hand and jumped off the huge pond being circled with white fog in the middle of the space. When they entered the water, Tang Mei pointed at the water. At the same time, the water in the pond separated itself and didn’t arouse any wave.

After entering the water, the two people released their protective battle qi and drove to the bottom of the pond where was deeper than 100 m in an instant.

Tang Mei made a hand gesture “hush”. She and Zhang Tie then waited there patiently silently…

After a short while, they heard footsteps passing the ground rapidly. After a short while, they heard footsteps again. After more than 10 minutes, Tang Mei pointed at a black tunnel at the bottom of the pond which was higher than 2 m. Zhang Tie then nodded at her. After that, the two people sneaked into the tunnel and swam towards afar…
