Chapter 1418: Five-Elements Rings
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
An earth human knight absorbed an element crystal when he fought a shadow demon knight in its 9 change realm. This was insane in the eyes of any knight. However, Zhang Tie was rational as he did all this fluently. Those who could see Zhang Tie’s movements clearly had already realized that Zhang Tie was doing three tasks at the same time in the fight.
Many people might have seen someone doing two tasks at the same time; however, it was their first time to see someone doing three tasks at the same time.
Zhang Tie was doing three tasks at the same time: blocking strikes from the demon knight, manipulating the true object of the silver secret item; absorbing wind elements.
Zhang Tie spent 70% of his energy on defense, 30% on attack. He was stifled by the shadow iron-armored demon knight, but the latter couldn’t hurt him at all; neither was Zhang Tie in a disadvantageous position.
Just now, Zhang Tie displayed his secret sauce of combining fist position with swordsmanship. This time, Zhang Tie displayed his secret sauce of combining fist position with a shield. Even in the eyes of Zuoqiu Mingyue, Zhang Tie’s defense was also consummated.
In the image of a silver dragon, the Devouring Dragon flew around Zhang Tie within 10-20 m, spilling sword qi in all directions.
It was Zhang Tie’s protective sword wind inside Devouring Dragon’s cover. The protective sword wind could be rigid or tender, whether attack or defend. Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi was closely inside his protective sword wind. Zhang Tie’s shield was inside his protective battle qi. His body was in the core.
Even though the shadow demon knight had a strong offensiveness, it couldn’t hurt Zhang Tie easily as it had to break the following layers one after another: the sword qi of Devouring Dragon, Zhang Tie’s protective sword wind, Zhang Tie’s shield which was a silver secret item, Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi, Zhang Tie’s iron body.
In this case, no matter what terrifying striking strength did that shadow demon knight have, those brilliant light would finally disappear in front of the shield.
Zhang Tie’s defense really broadened the vision of all the onlookers as they all lost in wonder.
The demon knight to Zhang Tie was what a wild wolf to a sliding weight of a steelyard full of steel spines. The demon knight could only use its last strength—endurance. When Zhang Tie couldn’t bear his fierce strike and ran out of his energy, it would be the end of this combat.
When Zhang Tie was defending the demon knight without any loophole, he was gradually refining water element under the gaze of the onlookers.
Zhang Tie absorbed water elements so fast that people could see the elapse of the water elements by naked eyes.
‘Does Zhang Tie want to promote to a shadow demon knight in the fight? That’s unlikely!’
Many human knights in Xuanyuan Fortress didn’t believe that Zhang Tie could promote to a shadow human knight in the fight; however, they had to think so as Zhang Tie was absorbing water elements from a water-element crystal at an abnormal speed.
“Ahh, how could Qianji Hermit absorb water elements so fast...”
“It’s said that Qianji Hermit’s secret sauce is called Thousands of Beads Multi-task Sutra. He won an airboat from Taiyi Fantasy Sect using this secret sauce...”
“How did you know that...”
“A friend in Earth-elements Realm told me about that. Almost all the knights in Lion Fortress know that...”
It seemed that those speakers didn’t notice that Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s disciples were not far from them or might have already noticed their talk. Feng Yexiao heard this dialogue as he slightly twisted his face and gazed at Zhang Tie on the battlefield with red eyes. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
In this case, after a knight mentioned the secret sauce Thousands of Beads Multi-tasking Sutra for a short while, over 100,000 human knights above Xuanyuan Fortress had already known it. From then on, that secret sauce of Zhang Tie’s spread over Taixia Country at an amazing speed.
Even though others mentioned the secret sauce for 10,000 times, it was still not as shocking or impressive as that of witnessing it oneself.
Only after one hour, Zhang Tie had already absorbed the greater part of that water-element crystal under the gaze of the public without leaking any loophole. After then, with a sudden, powerful wave of elements, a yellow halo appeared on Zhang Tie and gradually expanded, covering Zhang Tie.
When this yellow halo appeared, most of the shadow demon knight’s strike was collapsed by the wave of elements. When the halo expanded, even the demon knight had to move backwards as it felt the shock of its chakras. It moved out of the scope of effect of that yellow halo. Not until it reached 400-500 m away from Zhang Tie did he start to attack Zhang Tie once again.
Even if a person was cultivating the most average secret sauce, when he formed a new chakra, there would also be a special virtual image and abnormal phenomenon within a few meters, hundreds of meters even tens of thousands of meters, although there would not be such an exaggerated elements tide and wide-ranging abnormal phenomenon. With the new-born wave of chakra and strong vitality, such a new virtual image and abnormal phenomenon would affect the stability of the chakras of surrounding knights. Like how metal would be magnetized by rubbing with a magnet, although being not fatal, this influence could barely be eliminated and would last for a long time. It would cause greater influence to those knights on the same level. Therefore, every knight would stay away from those knights on their same level who had just formed their new chakra. Like how superstitious men would stay away from the delivery room, they would draw closer to him after his virtual image stabilized and the abnormal phenomenon waned even if they wanted to congratulate him on it.
From 400 m away, the shadow demon knight’s strike became much weaker than that before. Of course, Zhang Tie could respond to it easily.
The moment the yellow halo came into being, a silver halo had appeared on Zhang Tie which was thicker than the first one with a sharp metallic qi...
The information that Zhang Tie “promoted to a shadow demon knight” in fight shocked everybody else again...
Watching those halos of shadow-level virtual images on Zhang Tie, Sagus had long swore him numerous times inside.
Sagus believed that their party should at least have 70% odds to win the combat even if Zhang Tie had other secret sauces. Actually, Sagus didn’t believe that Zhang Tie could have any other trump card besides awakening another ancestral bloodline of Hua people in this case, which probably would not happen. Sagus thought that it had already been clear about all of Zhang Tie’s trump cards, but the current scene drove it mad once again...
It was similar to the following scene: a gambler who had got a good card and defeated two opponents thought that he was unrivaled in this round; right then, the last opponent presented a greater card, causing him breathless.
“No way!” Sagus couldn’t help but roar.
On the contrary, all the human knights almost cheered up at the same time at the sight of that colorful halo on Zhang Tie after a short pause out of shock.
“What’s that virtual image...”
“It’s the virtual image of Five-elements Earth-look Sutra. The first one was the halos of the earth; the second one was the halos of gold...”
“Ahh, isn’t Qianji Hermit cultivating Fire Dragon Sutra?”
“Idiot! That’s simulated by Qianji Hermit using his Chaotic Treasure Body. The fundamental secret sauce that Qianji Hermit cultivates for promotion is Five-elements Earth-look Sutra...”
This discussion had already spread across the knights’ camp of Taixia Country only after a short while.
At this moment, all the heavenly human knights raised their eyebrows as they gazed at Zhang Tie’s halos with eyes wide open.
“Good...” Ye Qingcheng couldn’t help but highly praise Zhang Tie, “Commander-in-chief, you’ve long known that General Mushen has his precautious measures?”
“Zhang is not rash. I could see that he has already been in his 9 change realm. However, I’ve not imagined that he could promote to a shadow knight at this moment. He deserves the reputation of Qianji Hermit...” Zuoqiu Mingyue revealed a faint smile.
...
‘Earth reinforces gold; gold reinforces water; water reinforces wood; wood reinforces fire; fire reinforces earth...’
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had formed 5 halos, which altogether was the virtual image of Five-elements Ground-look Sutra when Zhang Tie promoted to a shadow knight. The five halos were respectively yellow, silver, water blue, grass green and fiery. They covered Zhang Tie, all linked with one another. At the same time, they formed a new protective ring outside the protective sword wind.
Everything had its limits. Although Five-elements Ground-look Sutra was only the most average viscount-level secret sauce and would not bring people too much surprise until one promoted to a black iron knight, after promoting to a shadow knight, one would also have a virtual image——Five-elements Rings which he could be used to fight like all the others who cultivated other secret sauces.
Nevertheless, the Five-elements Rings were not used to attack but to defend...
