Chapter 1639: Stay Calm
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Nobody could imagine that the combat would start from a quarrel, including those knights of Iron-Dragon Sect and the three sects. In the beginning, Taiyi Old Man’s words sounded a bit reasonable; however, after a few rounds of verbal argument, Zhang Tie had peeled off the fake face of the three sects and trod it on the ground.
Under the gaze of so many knights, the faces of Taiyi Old Man, Heavenly Hunyuan and Shenkong Old Man turned black. They had not imagined that they could be fooled by Zhang Tie in this case.
The onlooking knights were in hot discussions, some of whom became restless. By contrast, the Knights of the three sects remained silent.
“Immortal Qianji, you’re really tricky. If Immortal thinks that you could evade our black invitation cards in this way, you’re too naive!” Taiyi Old Man put it straight as he ignored all the other onlooking knights’ opinions, wiping out what happened just now as if it had not happened at all.
“If I wanted to escape, I would not be here!” Zhang Tie refuted with a solemn look, “As a knight, if you want a fight, do it. Why do you fabricate such an excuse? In this age, force talks. As you’ve got greater battle strength, you want to kill me by sending black invitation cards to me. But why do you find such a ridiculous, disgusting excuse?”
“It appears that Immortal Qianji has long been dissatisfied with our three sects. No wonder Immortal went against the deputy heads of our sects in the Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect for a few times.” Taiyi Old Man said distantly, “It seems that this duel becomes inevitable for hostility and reason. However, in order to show our frankness, only one of us would fight you. If Immortal could defeat one of us, you would win us three. We will then call it an end!”
“Really? Is that you who will fight me on behalf of the three sects?”
“Hahaha...” Taiyi Old Man finally revealed a smile as his voice turned righteous again, “My aiding strength is Real Sun Flames. I could kill a heavenly knight from 60 miles away. If I fight you, it would be unfair. Therefore, Heavenly Hunyuan would fight Immortal on behalf of us!”
‘What? It’s Heavenly Hunyuan, instead of Taiyi Old Man?’
Zhang Tie was shocked as he felt missing a punch.
The noise in the surroundings lowered at a stroke. Those of Iron-Dragon Sect exchanged a glance with each other. Previously, everyone felt that Zhang Tie would have the greatest probability to win the combat if the opponent was Taiyi Old Man, including Iron-Dragon Sect and Gold and Power Law. However, none of them could imagine that the opponents would dispatch Heavenly Hunyuan to fight Zhang Tie.
Were the three sects really merciful by making such an arrangement as was told by Taiyi Old Man?
Many knights who despised the deed of the three sects wavered their mind again. If the three sects determined to kill Zhang Tie, they would dispatch Taiyi Old Man. Because everyone across the country knew that Taiyi Old Man was the number one sage-level knight among the six top sects. Besides Emperor Xuanyuan, none of the sage-level knights could defeat him in the world.
‘Why?’
‘The top sects are really tricky. Soon after I got the upper hand, they have got the upper hand back by disguising to be merciful.’
Zhang Tie couldn’t figure out why Heavenly Hunyuan was dispatched to fight him on behalf of the three sects. However, there was one point that he was sure that the three top sects were not showing their mercy to him; instead, they must play a secret trick. They must be pretending to be gentlemen although being whores. Superficially, they treated me mercifully and righteously; in fact, they must have evil intentions.
After Taiyi Old Man finished his words, Taiyi Old Man and Shenkong Old Man exchanged a glance with each other and didn’t say anything to Zhang Tie any more as if they were afraid that their Achilles heels were caught by Zhang Tie. Taiyi Old Man and Shenkong Old Man then flew back into their own airboats, leaving Heavenly Hunyuan and Zhang Tie face to face with a distance of 10,000 m in the center of Yinhai.
The atmosphere grew intense at once.
“Immortal Qianji, are you ready?” Heavenly Hunyuan frowned his black eyebrows as he looked straight into Zhang Tie’s eyes. A strong qi field charged at Zhang Tie at a stroke.
‘No matter what, now that Heavenly Hunyuan couldn’t match Taiyi Old Man, it’s good news for me. I will break his strikes one after another.’
With a lazy smile, Zhang Tie suddenly held a golden spear. Squinting his eyes, Heavenly Hunyuan appeared being ready to fight. Those who knew Zhang Tie were clear about the destructive power of his golden spear, which could kill low-level knights like killing dogs and cats.
“Heavenly Hunyuan, take easy. It’s not for you. It’s used for timing!” Zhang Tie bantered as he shot his golden spear towards a hillside.
The golden spear didn’t fully enter a huge piece of rock; instead, it only entered 3 cm. At the same time, it caused a huge platform whose diameter was a few meters with round scales on it. As the sun had just risen, the shadow of the spear rightly fell on a round scale of the boulder.
In a split second, Zhang Tie had created a huge sundial.
“Our duel will start at 3 pm. It’s just 9 am. Are you that anxious? Heavenly Hunyuan could launch a strike at 3 pm. Now, I’m going to take a rest!” Zhang Tie said as a small cloud of moisture formed above his head which covered sunshine, despite Heavenly Huyuan’s bad look. After that, Zhang Tie sat in the air, legs crossed, eyes closed as if he was really taking a rest.
Zhang Tie’s calmness facing the duel won the admiration of many onlooking knights.
Heavenly Hunyuan sneered as he was not afraid that Zhang Tie would play any trick. It was just a few hours’ rest, which would pass in the blink of an eye as for high-level knights like them.
When Heavenly Hunyuan thought this, he sat in the air, legs crossed and eyes closed too...
...
In Datang City, it was a sunny day after the snow. Accompanied by Elder Muyu, Lan Yunxi entered the third prince’s mansion again. She would go for hunting at the invitation of the third prince...
