Who’s that?
Roslav, a bodyguard of Zhang Tie roared as he threw his spear towards the source of the sound outside the palace.
As Roslav was not a knight, his sense about the qi outside the gate was not as sensitive as that of those elders of Cardinal Elders Committee. As Zhang Tie’s bodyguard, of course, he should launch an attack on the uninvited guest firstly in this case.
As a great battle master, although Roslav’s blow was powerful, his spear suspended outside the gate of the palace in the air. Closely after that, the steel spear gradually turned into pieces like sands being blown over by the wind. All the people in the palace were shocked by this weird scene.
When the spear only had a 30 cm longer handle left, the stranger uttered a cold harrumph suddenly as he said,
Ant, how dare you fight me? Take it back…
Closely after that, the spear’s handle suddenly flew back towards the chest of Roslav with a shrill sonic boom with a much greater destructive power.
It happened as fast as a lightning bolt. The moment he finished his last word, the remaining handle had arrived at the chest of Roslav after drawing a fine fiery line in the air with a shrill sonic boom. Even though Roslav wore a heavy armor, his chest could still be penetrated through with an explosion.
Roslav didn’t have time to dodge away. Even a LV 15 battle spirit would be killed by such a blow. This strike could match Zhang Tie’s palm bolt.
However, when the short handle was about 16 cm away from Roslav, a clean and delicate hand stretched over here and pinched that handle steadily like pinching a bug.
The shrill sound and flame in the palace disappeared in a split second. Roslav who was saved changed his face greatly.
Zhang Tie watched the outside of the gate with a glassy-eyed look as he sneered,
A powerful shadow knight fought a fighter who’s only a bit higher than LV 10, is that the demeanor of a halo pastor of Sacred Light Empire?
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, all the others at present understood what happened as they all changed their faces greatly.
If an earth knight was unrivaled over Ice and Snow Wilderness; a shadow knight was definitely a deity for these people in Ice and Snow Wilderness. Before the Catastrophe, shadow knights were at the top of the food chain. Shadow knight would disdain to come to Waii Subcontinent, not to mention Ice and Snow Wilderness.
The air outside the gate of the palace was covered with mist in a split second. As the mist twisted, a human suddenly appeared and stood in the air outside the gate of the palace.
That stranger was tall and thin in a bizarre golden religious crown and a set of extremely brilliant religious boa silk robe which was covered with thin diamon and gem pies. Additionally, there were patterns of suns, moons and stars on the robe. Under the reflection of lamplight, his robe gleamed all over. Furthermore, it might have a runed effect as a brilliant halos which was similar to the cat eye effect covered his body, which looked pretty sacred and frightening.
That man overlooked those people at present like looking down at a cluster of ants. However, when he caught sight of Zhang Tie, his eye light changed greatly.
The tidy footsteps of guards in heavy armors and the scurries of xiphodons drew closer from all directions, causing ripples in the glasses on the tables. All the guards in the palace drew out their weapons immediately while rows of guards soon stood in front of Zhang Tie with heavy shields and spears.
Facing such a powerful opponent, neither the fighters of Thor’s Hammer nor the imperial guards in the Summer Palace were scared away; instead, they all fully released their battle qis as they were gazing at that powerful knight who was suspending in the air outside the gate of the palace with fiery eyes and waiting for Zhang Tie’s command. As long as Zhang Tie gave them a sign, they would rush forwards dauntlessly.
Fighters of Thor’s Hammer could only fight to death; instead of being scared of death over Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Those junior fighters among tribes who were displaying their battle skills in front of Zhang Tie had also drawn their sabers and swords out of their sheaths and targeted at that stranger.
Bishop Maxim and the other clergies of Ancient God Church had stood up and glared at that shadow knight.
By contrast, those elders of Cardinal Elders Committee didn’t make too excessive responses. They just watched Zhang Tie calmly because they all knew that nobody across the Summer Palace might survive on if Zhang Tie really wanted to fight that shadow knight here. These people at the banquet could barely survive themselves as long as they were affected by the impact wave of the two knights.
The distant shadow knight revealed a sneer. In his eyes, the responses of those fighters of Thor’s Hammer and the other people in the banquet were nothing but sht. It seemed that a huge dragon was ridiculing the struggling ants.
Zhang Tie slightly raised his hand to stop the fighters of Thor’s Hammer and all the others from moving. He was relieved by the dubious and dauntless fighters of Thor’s Hammer. At this critical moment, Zhang Tie who knew clearly about the power of shadow knight understood that these fighters of Thor’s Hammer were just seeking for death. Even if the entire Thor’s Hammer was wiped out, that shadow knight would not lose one hair. This was the result of an absolute difference in power, which couldn’t be fixed by quantity.
As a powerful shadow knight, don’t you introduce yourself to us in this case?
Zhang Tie asked that stranger without any fear. Actually, Zhang Tie had already known that when he arrived here just now. What Zhang Tie had not imagined was this crisis brought by Sacred Light Empire was not relieved with the extermination of the entire expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire. Actually, this stranger came to Ice and Snow Wilderness even earlier than Zhang Tie. He just hid somewhere. This man was the absolute dominating power that Sacred Light Empire assigned to Ice and Snow Wilderness.
What made Zhang Tie puzzled was how could a shadow knight be attracted to Ice and Snow Wilderness? Did he know that the piece of God’s Star was in the huge bear tribe? Besides that reason, Zhang Tie really couldn’t think about another reason for the time being.
Zhang Tie, no wonder you’re the famous Hua knight in the knights’ world. It’s out of my imagination that you could still remain calm in front of a shadow knight. I’m Ockham, the halos pastor of the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire.
That man looked at Zhang Tie with shimmering and profound eye light. Although his eye light contained a sharp killing intent, it also contained a bit concern. The shadow knight continued,
You have one opportunity. As long as you and Ancient God Church join Sacred Light Church; pledge to be loyal to me and submit that immortal space-teleportation item, I will keep you alive; besides, I will let you be a throne pastor. It’s your last opportunity…
Zhang Tie’s heart pounded, ‘Does he know that I have Castle of Black Iron? That’s impossible!’
I indeed have one space-teleportation equipment; but what do you mean by that immortal space-teleportation item?
Zhang Tie asked calmly as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Do you want to waste time for the arrival of that heavenly knight?
Ockham’s eye light turned perilous at once as he revealed a sneer,
Although I don’t know how did you invite a mysterious heavenly knight to have him destroy the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire, I think that you must pay a lot for that. Additionally, that heavenly knight is not in Ice and Snow Wilderness. No matter how fast he could fly, he couldn’t appear here in half an hour. Before he arrives, I could kill all of you and turn the entire Saint Petersburg into ashes. That’s the price for you ants to offend Sacred Light Empire…
As a shadow knight who ruled a suburban area of Sacred Light Empire, although Ockham couldn’t match a heavenly knight in battle strength, he definitely knew the power of heavenly knight much better than commoners. Neither did he fear heavenly knight as much as commoners. Actually, Sacred Light Empire had heavenly knights too.
What was more, after Zhang Tie exposed his real identity, Ockham had known almost everything about Zhang Tie. He knew that Zhang Tie had no heavenly knight on his back whether in Huaiyuan Palace, among his friends or his masters. In this case, of course, that heavenly knight was invited from Taixia Country. That powerful heavenly knight probably had returned to Taixia Country. If not, the one on the highest seat in Summer Palace should not be Zhang Tie, but someone else. Additionally, it was not reasonable for a heavenly knight to hide somewhere to guard Zhang Tie who was just an earth knight. Zhang Tie was not the crown prince, he couldn’t enjoy such a special treatment.
After thinking through all this, Ockham showed up immediately. As the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire suffered a great loss; if he couldn’t achieve anything from the culprit of this event, it would be a laughingstock.
You’re causing me trouble only for that so-called immortal space-teleportation item? What if I tell you that I don’t have one?
Zhang Tie said calmly.
As for Ockham, Zhang Tie’s words sounded like the clumsiest lie. After bursting out into laughter, he said,
Don’t tell me that you could provide drinking water for over 100,000 people for a few months in the underground relics. The so-called manifestations of God’s will are just used to cheat those idiots. You’d better be smart in front of me. I’ve manifested the same God’s will for over 100 times…
Ockham licked his lips as his eye light turned greedy,
After calculating the amount of drinking water that you provided in the underground relics, I know that you must be carrying an immortal space-teleportation equipment. Nothing else is worth my visit to Ice and Snow Wilderness except for that equipment!
Zhang Tie saw a light suddenly as he finally understood the real purpose of Sacred Light Empire to launch a strike towards Ice and Snow Wilderness. The so-called revenge was just an excuse for cheating idiots. ‘The fact that I killed that unfortunate guy of Sacred Light Empire a few years ago served as an excuse for Sacred Light Empire to launch a strike towards Ice and Snow Wilderness. As for Ockham, land, gold coins and population were nothing but sht because he could have as many as he wants. A shadow knight only cast greedy eyes on available powerful secret items…’
In Zhang Tie’s eyes, Ockham was both extremely cunning and stupid…
