Chapter 1642: Don’t Fear Vision being Blinded by Clouds

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The feeling of killing himself using the secret skill of Bloody Soul Sutra was a bit like the feeling of death in trouble-reappearance situations although it was not as strong as the latter.

Zhang Tie almost exerted his full efforts to kill Xuanyuan Wuji by using the great strength of divine dominator, lotus-flower eyes and the secret skills ofGreat Wilderness Sutra and Bloody Soul Sutra ; through a considerate plan, he finally figured out the maze and avoided the traps and killed Xuanyuan Wuji by hammer despite the protection of a semi-sage knight.

In fact, before that bloody figure broke out from the belly of the iron-claw tiger under the control of Bloody Devil Enlightenment Method, Zhang Tie was not sure that the role of Xuanyuan Wuji in the prince’s mansion was his substitute. When two shadow knights escorted Xuanyuan Wuji’s substitute away and Xue Fucius stood in front of “Jiang Ming”, Zhang Tie finally affirmed his judgment and fixed the real target in a split second.

When the bloody figure broke out, nobody knew that the bloody figure was used to finding the real Xuanyuan Wuji at the critical moment instead of killing people.

That original body of the bloody figure was the animal controller in the prince’s mansion whom Zhang Tie had replaced with his substitute.

It was Xue Fucius who protected Xuanyuan Wuji for real. The real third prince was with him in the identity of one of four King Kongs. The other three of four King Kongs and Xuanyuan Wuji’s substitute were charge in covering the trace of real Xuanyuan Wuji and attract others’ attention on this occasion. This was a perfect layout and protection. Even Xuanyuan Changying the royal prince might not need such considerate protection when he left the imperial palace and Xuanyuan Hill.

As a prince, Xuanyuan Wuji shouldn’t leave his bounty prefecture. However, as the core figure of the Imperial Alliance, Xuanyuan Wuji was vital in the organization as he was responsible for contacting all parties. It was almost impossible for such a person to work out major events without leaving his bounty prefecture.

However, if not Zhang Tie had observed so long in the prince’s mansion and discovered the details, anyone else would be attracted by the fake Xuanyuan Wui when the two shadow knights escorted him away.

It was a face-to-face collision between Zhang Tie and the Imperial Alliance and Zhang Tie’s first time to experience the great power of Xuanyuan Deity Sutra . Although he didn’t know how many secret skills were there in the complete version of Xuanyuan Deity Sutra , Zhang Tie thought the Xuanyuan Golden Body that Xuanyuan Wuji revealed at the critical moment and the ability to disguise as an earth knight although being a black iron knight probably was the secret skills of Xuanyuan Deity Sutra . To be honest, even Zhang Tie couldn’t see through these secret skills even by lotus-flower eyes.

However, Xuanyuan Wuji died; he must die. Even if he cultivated an emperor-level secret method, given his ability as a black iron knight, no matter how powerful was Xuanyuan Deity Sutra, he could do nothing but being defeated by Zhang Tie who also cultivated an emperor-level secret method and had promoted to a shadow knight.

In the three change realm of shadow knight, even though Zhang Tie’s substitute’s battle strength was 80-90 percent of his original body in Weishui Battle. No matter what, there was such a sharp gap between the two parties.

By killing Xuanyuan Wuji and inflicting Jiang Clan of Heavenly Stars Palace, Zhang Tie broke the core bond and figures of Imperial Alliance and avenged Huaiyuan Palace’s destroyer. What was more, this assassination greatly undermined the risks of domestic war and internal frictions of Taixia Country and preserved the aura of the country.

According to Zhang Tie’s thought, if he could save hundreds of millions of people by killing one person, he would do it even if he was a son of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Even though hundreds of millions of civilians could die, why couldn’t a son of Emperor Xuanyuan?

Zhang Tie didn’t think that a son of Emperor Xuanyuan was more valuable than hundreds of millions of people in Taixia Country.

Besides time, Zhang Tie only cost a substitute, an abyss iron battle hammer lighter than 10 tons and space-teleportation equipment. Such a loss was nothing serious for Zhang Tie.

It was an economical trade!

With a smile, Zhang Tie watched the location of the airboats of the three top sects. After a short while, Zhang Tie had seen some shadow knights including Feng Yexiao hurriedly flying into the airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect as if they were called for a meeting in an emergency. From over 10,000 m away, Heavenly Hunyuan who used to close his eyes also revealed a shocking look as he opened his eyes.

Needless to say, Heavenly Hunyuan had already known the death of Xuanyuan Wuji. Those who received the news in Imperial Alliance must mention that the assassin used the ability of divine dominator to kill Xuanyuan Wuji and the shriek of Xue Fucius on revealing the identity of the assassin.

If Zhang Tie was not in Yinhai at this moment, he would definitely be accused of killing Xuanyuan Wuji. However, he was just sitting there and taking a rest under the gaze of the public and waiting for the coming combat. Who would say the assassination being hundreds of thousands of miles away was done by him?

Additionally, the one who killed Xuanyuan Wuji committed suicide in bloody devil separation skill above Dragon-Tiger Mountain after having a fight with Xue Fucius, leaving bloody clouds over there, which could be seen from 60 miles away. With such firm evidence that Heavens Reaching Church or the remains of Bloody-Soul Temple killed the third prince, who could say that it was related to Zhang Tie only by a battle hammer which was available to everyone?

A divine dominator who excelled at the secret skills of Bloody Soul Sutra committed suicide after killing the third prince Xuanyuan Wuji. All the clues then came to an end. This event would become a pending criminal case forever.

Heavenly Hunyuan took a look at Zhang Tie when he found Zhang Tie was also looking at him…

“Heavenly Hunyuan, why do you look surprised?” Zhang Tie asked Heavenly Hunyuan with a serious smile; instead of using his large trumpets.

Zhang Tie had already been completely relaxed and pleasant. Because he knew that he had already defeat Imperial Alliance before the start of this combat.

The fact of Xuanyuan Wuji’s being killed was a strategical failure for Imperial Alliance. Even though Zhang Tie lost this combat, the Imperial Alliance could only gain a tactical victory. No matter what, tactical victory couldn’t cover strategical failure.

With this attitude, Zhang Tie had recovered his composure and didn’t even care about the result of this combat any more even if he was killed.

After being told that Xuanyuan Wuji was assassinated, Heavenly Hunyuan had been restless. ‘Now that Zhang Tie is in front of me, the assassin must be someone else. However, besides Immortal Fairysea and Immortal Qianji, he is the third divine dominator. Additionally, this one is proficient in secret skills ofBloody Soul Method . Is there any other people or force being involved in scrambling for the throne? Additionally, that person and force must be hostile against the Imperial Alliance…

After the death of Xuanyuan Wuji, Imperial Alliance might fall apart as the three top sects’ conspiracy would fail.

Besides being restless, Heavenly Hunyuan looked bad too.

No matter what, after hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Heavenly Hunyuan instantly recovered his composure as he replied using battle strength, “Immortal, why don’t you continue your rest?”

“I was told that we should live up to drinks, beauties and beautiful sceneries. Just now, I didn’t feel like enjoying such scenery. When I stay calm, I find the scenery in the Gobi Desert special! Oh, I remember a poem——straight smokes rose in the desert; the sun falls in the long river. Good poem! Good poem! After we start our combat, we will make straight smokes. Oh, there’re two more——don’t fear vision being blinded by clouds; because we’re at the highest point. I feel the latter lines are better. Look at where we are, we’re almost at the highest place. We could watch the scenery. As it’s open, even if there’re some clouds, they couldn’t blind our eyes at all. Everything is clear. Isn’t it cool…”

Shaking his head, Zhang Tie started to assess a poem. Heavenly Hunyuan gritted his teeth as he said gloomily, “Immortal, don’t you worry about the result of this combat?”

“Worry? Worry what?” Zhang Tie burst out laughing, “A person’s life varies from dozens of years to hundreds of years. I’ve already lived up to nature and the hundreds of millions of people in Taixia Country. Although I have regrets, I don’t feel sorry about myself. As I’ve killed powerful enemies, enjoyed sceneries and best, hottest drinks and slept with the most beautiful women; I’ve got the best brothers and friends. Therefore, I don’t fear nothing. Even if I were killed, it was just like having a dream…”

Watching Zhang Tie, Heavenly Hunyuan started to feel a bit scared. If Immortal Qianji promoted to a heavenly knight, semi-sage knight or sage-level knight, he would be unrivaled. Therefore, they had to kill Zhang Tie.

——No matter what, we have to kill Immortal Qianji in this combat. Never let him leave here alive.

Taixia Old Man sent a message to Heavenly Hunyuan by remote-sensing finger ring.

Heavenly Hunyuan recovered his composure at once as he took a look at the sundial on the ground and revealed a smile, saying, “Now that Immortal is so heroic, why not start it now…”

“Fine…” Zhang Tie replied with a smile.

Soon after his words, Zhang Tie had put on his Chaos Outfit within 0.001 seconds as he held a battle hammer weighing 36.6 tons. Zhang Tie and Heavenly Hunyuan disappeared almost at the same time.

With a thunder-like boom, a strong impact wave appeared in the center of Yinhai in a split second, which swept over hundreds of meters high sandstorm, changing the color of the region at once.

Not until then did the onlooking knights realize that the combat had already come to a start.
