Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 1292: Being Trapped (II)

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

In the loud sound caused by Zhang Tie’s spears, the little black beetle had long drilled out of the winding, narrow tunnel and hid behind a rock in the spacious underground space near the other end of the tunnel...

After the 8 demon knights rushed into the winding, narrow tunnel, the little black beetle immediately entered Castle of Black Iron. Closely after that, Zhang Tie’s original body appeared near the other end of the tunnel quietly.

Watching that deep and narrow tunnel, Zhang Tie sneered. Closely after that, he wrapped up his whole body by Chaos. From then on, the hunter and the prey alternated...

At this moment, the fierce chase was happening in the winding, narrow tunnel.

Zhang Tie’s incarnation was flying backward rapidly, closely followed by Gao Tianzhao who was full of killing intent. The 8 demon knights were closely following Gao Tianzhao. The three forces were over 1,000 m away from each other. As Gao Tianzhao was a powerful shadow knight, he was constantly approaching Zhang Tie while extending the distance between him and the other 8 demon knights.

“Shii...” A sharp shiny battle qi shot into the palisades of the narrow tunnel after rubbing the edge of Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi, leaving a 20-m deeper hole as thick as one’s thumb on the palisades. The spalls were easily blocked by Zhang Tie’s protective battle qi.

It was Gao Tianzhao’s blow by his finger from over 1,000 m away. In the rugged winding, narrow tunnel, this distance was relatively linear. As Zhang Tie appeared in Gao Tianzhao’s sight, the latter immediately launched a strike towards Zhang Tie.

“Hahaha, are you getting old? You cannot even target me precisely...” Zhang Tie’s heart pounded as he sighed with feeling inside, ‘Gao Tianzhao is really something. Even if an earth knight who has reached the 9 change realm couldn’t reach the effect of Gao Tianzhao from over 1,000 m. It’s just Gao Tianzhao’s finger skill; it could be imagined that Gao Tianzhao’s battle strength must be very powerful when in real face-to-face battle. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had realized that Gao Tianzhao was more powerful than Ockham. Therefore, Zhang Tie became more meticulous as he sped up a bit and moved as fast as a lightning bolt. Even so, he still burst out into laughter in a pretty heroic way.

“Zhang Tie, this day next year will be your death anniversary. This old man will slag you with my Unrivaled Bolt Finger!” Gao Tianzhao roared.

“Haha, even Han Zhengfang failed to do it. How could you think that you would do it? I also have an earth-shaking finger skill called F*ck You Finger Skill. What do you think about that...” Zhang Tie erected his middle finger when flying backward.

After that, Zhang Tie came to a turn. Almost the moment Zhang Tie made a turn, Gao Tianzhao’s second battle qi-strike had penetrated through the heart of Zhang Tie’s shadow on the palisades, causing another small hole on the palisades.

After seeing Zhang Tie escaping away from his sight once again, Gao Tianzhao roared as he hurriedly caught up with Zhang Tie.

The part of the tunnel where Gao Tianzhao attacked Zhang Tie was the only linear distance in the winding, narrow tunnel where Gao Tianzhao could attack his target from over 1,000 m away. After making a turn, the tunnel had become winding as there would be a turn in each dozen of meters or over 100 meters. In this case, unless narrowing the distance between him and Zhang Tie’s incarnation to 100 m, Gao Tianchao could barely hit Zhang Tie even if he was a powerful shadow knight. When he couldn’t see Zhang Tie, no matter how powerful his off-hand strike was, it would be blocked by the palisades of the winding, narrow tunnel.

8 demon knights closely followed Gao Tianzhao into the next curve.

Almost 2 minutes later, Zhang Tie entered the part of the tunnel where he had buried alchemist’s bombs in advance. During the past 2 minutes, Gao Tianzhao had been hundreds of meters closer to Zhang Tie; however, he still couldn’t catch up with Zhang Tie...

When Zhang Tie entered this part of the tunnel, Gao Tianzhao had been over 2,000 m away from the 8 demon knights. Given that he only buried the alchemist’s bombs in 1,000 m long in the tunnel, Zhang Tie could only choose one of them, Gao Tianzhao or those wing demons behind him.

Only after thinking about considering it for less than 0.1 seconds, Zhang Tie had made a decision——I will let go Gao Tianzhao first and keep those wing demon knights in the spacious underground space...

Gao Tianzhao closely followed Zhang Tie into the part of the tunnel which was full of alchemist’s bombs as he didn’t discover anything abnormal over there. When all the wing demon knights entered the middle of that part of tunnel, all the alchemist’s bombs were detonated by Zhang Tie at the same time...

The earth-shaking bombs drifted from the winding, narrow tunnel as the entire underground space started to rock like a small-scale earthquake. The spalls also fell off the top of the tunnel like raindrops. A fierce flame caught up with Gao Tianzhao rapidly in the tunnel with a strong impact wave, rocking the protective battle qi of Gao Tianzhao. Closely after that, Gao Tianzhao changed his face greatly. In the loud explosive sounds, Gao Tianzhao felt that a part of the tunnel over 1,000 m long had collapsed behind him. However, those 8 demon knights were right in that explosive region. After the explosions, they must have been buried by numerous spalls; even if they were not killed, they might have been severely injured...

At this moment, it would be hard for Gao Tianzhao to clear out that section of the collapsed tunnel even if he wanted.

“Alchemist’s bombs? You buried alchemist’s bombs in the tunnel...” Gao Tianzhao exclaimed as he was driven mad like a rat whose tail had been stomped by someone.

“Hahaha, just a preventive measure. Even a human earth knight scout has disappeared in this region, how could I not make any preventive measure in this region? Otherwise, I would have long been killed by Han Zhengfang...”

“Damn it...”

Zhang Tie was so cunning that even Gao Tianzhao was scared by his deed. The fatal trap that they made must have killed the target if it were someone else. However, in front of Zhang Tie, the fatal trap made by 1 shadow knight and 8 black iron demon knights could not gain any extra advantage at all from the beginning. Although Zhang Tie’s countermeasure had not severely injured Gao Tianzhao until now, the sense of frustration made Gao Tianzhao more uncomfortable as he determined his mind to kill Zhang Tie...

With a shrill roar, Gao Tianzhao’s eyes suddenly turned red as his body turned into a bloody shiny fog with moisture. Right in the bloody shiny fog, numerous runes were flying. Closely after that, the shiny fog suddenly turned into a 3-eye huge boa with two wings, which chased after Zhang Tie at a greater speed with a pretty grim look...

This time, Zhang Tie was really startled. It was Zhang Tie’s first time to see the real body of a shadow knight’s virtual image. That process was too amazing. Zhang Tie could only change into another person with the help of his body changing immortal bloodline; however, the process that a shadow knight transformed into the real body of his virtual image was like how a person transformed into a powerful monster.

In the tunnel, the giant boa was as free as fish in water. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had felt that the real body of Gao Tianzhao’s virtual image was rapidly narrowing the distance between them. At the same time, the bloody and grim qi of the giant boa became hot at once...

‘Mamma Mia.’ Thankfully, Zhang Tie’s incarnation was carrying a portable space-teleportation equipment which contained something; otherwise, Zhang Tie’s incarnation would be killed in such a case.

The giant boa crashed here and there in the tunnel at a great speed. After feeling that it turned increasingly noisier behind him, Zhang Tie swore. Closely after that, an alchemist’s bomb appeared in his hand. Zhang Tie instantly threw it backward. When the real body of Gao Tianzhao’s virtual image approached him, it was exploded.

However, the explosion of the alchemist’s bomb didn’t hurt the real body of Gao Tianzhao’s virtual image at all. It only slightly slowed it down. Although the tunnel was blocked by the boulders that fell off the top of the tunnel, the giant boa directly break them up and passed by.

Before Gao Tianzhao was driven furious, the second alchemist’s bomb arrived. Flames, impact waves and the boulders slowed it down once again.

In the following explosions, the advantage of the giant boa in speed was gradually offset by Zhang Tie’s alchemist’s bombs...

Gao Tianzhao had never imagined that Zhang Tie could have so many alchemist’s bombs.

...

6 minutes after the consecutive explosions, 8 injured wing demon knights flew out of the other end of the tunnel and returned to where they ambushed Zhang Tie just now; they were wounded all over their bodies as their wings were broken.

Among those 8 wing demon knights, 3 black iron knights were severely injured as they were covered with blood; they couldn’t fly anymore. Although the other 5 earth wing demon knights were also injured and some had holes on their wings, they were not that severely injured like the 3 black iron wing demon knights due to their powerful protective battle qi.

Soon after they returned to this spacious underground space, all the wing demons had become relaxed. However, the moment they stopped releasing their protective battle qi, Zhang Tie had launched a strike towards them. At the speed of over 10 times the speed of sound, Zhang Tie charged at them from the dark in Chaos. Almost at the same time, the strong qi of Three-Kill Punch and the gloomy cutting edges of Gold-Eaten Dagger had covered all the wing demon knights at present...
