Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Gradually, those demon knights on Zhang Tie's side disappeared one after another...

In the sky of the simulated earth-elements realm, the total points of Zhang Clan reached 373, which had surpassed 369, the total points of Lu Clan.

With his own efforts, on the premise that Zhang Clan's points lagged behind that of Lu Clan, Zhang Tie constantly killed 10 demon knights in the earth-elements realm and increased the points of Zhang Clan to 373 from 323 and finally fixed the winner of this competition.

Nobody could have imagined such a reversal.

If this competition was a black casework, nobody would be convinced by this result. However, this competition happened under the gaze of all the major clans across Youzhou Province. They were participants and witnesses. The whole process was transparent. Especially in the end, when the last human knight fought demon knights in the Heavens Ball, his movements became the focus of onlookers in White Tiger Complex and across Youzhou Province.

It was really the very moment to witness marvels.

Since the guy landed on the ground and started to run, he had been creating marvels.

Being chased by 11 powerful demon knights, that man ran for over 2 hours. In running, he gradually reversed the course of action and took the initiative of the entire battlefield.

It was not a pure fight, but had sublimed to a wholly new realm.

The dialogue between the elder of Heavens Fortune Sect and his disciple brought an insight to a lot of people in the White Tiger Complex.

However, it had not come to an end yet. When that man had the initiative, his longsword and shield shocked onlookers once again.

That man was a sword sage. However, after being shocked so many times, the status sword sage could not shock people too much.

What shocked people more than his status as a sword sage was his shield. Before watching Zhang Tie's performance, none of the knights across Youzhou Province had imagined that a knight could use a shield so brilliantly. The shield seemed like it possessed its own consciousness and was alive. When in a fight, that shield could automatically block all the attacks as if it was not under Zhang Tie's control.

At the same time, Zhang Tie kept fighting at his will. Watching such a splendid fight, all the onlookers had an illusion. It seemed that Zhang Tie separated into two people in the fight. One was attacking demon knights in a dedicated way while the other was defending demon knights in a single-minded way.

Attack and defense worked independently and combined with each other perfectly, greatly widening onlookers' horizon.

With a shield in hand, Zhang Tie's battle strength increased by at least 50% at once.

Such a skill combining shield and longsword was really a marvel. It was all the onlookers' first time to watch it, including Commander Cheng.

There were shield powerhouses; however, nobody else could turn a shield into a living being across Youzhou Province, even the entire Northeast Military Region.

When Zhang Tie's shield was broken due to excessive defense, those in the White Tiger Complex felt like watching a beautiful flower withering as they were sighing for not being able to enjoy such a unique skill anymore.

Closely after that, everyone witnessed how a powerful demon knight was strangled by a man...

Being strangled? Such a death method was humiliating even for a common fighter, not to mention a demon knight. Because only the emaciated ones might be strangled.

In front of Zhang Mushen, the youngest elder of Zhang Clan, even a powerful demon knight would be strangled like a woman being strangled by a robust thug.

The onlookers were really stimulated at that moment.

"F*ck! Is he even a human?" Many people exclaimed inside when they watched Zhang Tie standing still in the air while being covered with blood, broken innards and intestines, even the demon general's eyes were stuck to his shoulder.

After losing his weapon, Zhang Tie manifested his bolder and fiercer side. When he released his iron-blood fist with full killing intent which had been quenched by numerous deaths and countless blood, Zhang Tie turned more terrifying like a mad lion.

The next two demon knights were torn apart by Zhang Tie alive...

When he tore apart the second demon knight, he bore other demon knights' attack and broke through the protective battle qi of the demon knight. At the same time, he inserted his hands into its chest. Closely after that, he tore it apart like tearing a roasted chicken. With a crash, blood rain sprayed everywhere...

Zhang Clan's points rose once again, calming down the entire world, including the White Tiger Complex.

Even being older, the elders of Zhang Clan couldn't help but quiver due to extreme excitement. They were even in tears...

This was the tear of pleasure and excitement, which witnessed that Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace created a marvel out of impossibility——From today on, Zhang Clan would be the first clan in Youzhou Province, Taixia Country to root in Taxia Country completely and proudly...

By contrast, Lu elders became silent, Lu Dingzhi let out a sigh inside, 'Lu Clan didn't fail due to our poor battle skills, but because of such a weirdo in Zhang Clan, who turned the tide at the final moment. With such a great figure in Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Clan in Yanghe Prefecture is destined to flourish!'

'What a figure! What a figure...'

"Brother Taixuan, congratulations!" After recovering his composure, Lu Dingzhi cupped his hands towards Zhang Taixuan with a generous smile.

Zhang Taixuan took a deep breath as he cupped towards Lu Dingzhi with a glassy-eyed look.

When Zhang Tie tore apart the 10th demon knight, Gu Qingyun's face turned pale once again. Like being punched forcefully by someone, Gu Qingyun felt that his pride and reputation was destroyed together with that demon knight...

Gu Dashou threw a worried look at Gu Qingyun.

...

In the Heavens Ball, after the final result came out, all the remaining demon knights had disappeared, except for one, who was standing on the opposite of Zhang Tie in the distance. Outsiders seemingly felt that something special at the end of the battle was normal. Therefore, they just waited for the coming battle.

...

Zhang Tie was also very amazed at this moment. When all the demon knights disappeared, he thought that he could also leave. However, after waiting for a short while, when he wondered whether he could not leave until committing suicide, he felt a hot flow inside his body. Like having drunk a vial of advanced recovery medicament, he felt that his physical strength and spirit had rapidly recovered to the highest level when he entered the Heavens Ball.

'What happened?' Zhang Tie was shocked as he felt being locked by one eye light. Zhang Tie looked along the eye light and found the last demon knight was gazing at him while its battle intention was gradually rising up...

Zhang Tie realized that the last battle was waiting for him here...

'F*ck!' At such a critical moment, Zhang Tie would never waste time on this demon knight; therefore, he instantly darted towards it...

The moment Zhang Tie moved, that demon knight also moved.

Their fierce battle qis collided from over 200 m away, causing a big earthquake over hundreds of square meters.

The moment he collided with that demon knight, Zhang Tie had felt that this one was different than the former demon knights, 'This one is definitely not common...'

In a split second, the demon knight flashed through their collision region and came to Zhang Tie's side. He ferociously punched Zhang Tie's protective battle qi and sent Zhang Tie flying backward...

"Ho..." The demon knight roared as it rubbed its hands. Closely after that, a strong light beam appeared in its hands and fell onto Zhang Tie's body directly, sending Zhang Tie flying backward like a shell once again...

Closely after that, the demon knight moved like a ghost and appeared on Zhang Tie's side once again. It then directly kicked Zhang Tie's chest in an overwhelming way from above Zhang Tie, smashing Zhang Tie onto the ground like a meteor, causing a huge pit with a diameter of dozens of meters...

Being shocked by this, the air above the ground was covered with dust while those huge, white dandelion fine hair within hundreds of meters was floating...

...

Those people in and out of Youzhou City who thought that the battle would soon come to an end in the Heavens Ball became stunned. The last fight had made everyone spirited once again. They had not imagined that the last fight in the Heavens Ball could be more splendid at the last critical moment.

Zhang Taixuan slightly frowned as he threw a glance at Commander Cheng. He then found the disciple of Heavens Fortune Sect had disappeared...

The elder of Heavens Fortune Sect revealed a sudden smile at Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Taixuan then understood something; he became silent and continued to watch the fight in the Heavens Ball.

Since the last fight broke out, the onlookers in the White Tiger Complex who had just become relaxed turned solemn gradually...

Although there was only one demon knight left, the fight became 10 times fiercer than that just now...

'Did Zhang Mushen meet a powerful opponent in the Heavens Ball?'

...

That demon knight just stood still in the sky and waited for the dust to fade away.

Zhang Tie spat out dust as he picked himself up from the ground. After that, the moment he raised his head and saw that demon knight, Zhang Tie's eyes had turned red, "D*mn, you want a real fight, right..."

"Boom", Zhang Tie stomped onto the ground, making a crack on the ground. At the same time, he shot himself into the sky and collided with the demon knight.

...

After fighting the demon general, Zhang Tie had not experienced such a miserable battle for a long time. 'This demon knight is just a bit weaker than the demon general. Among black iron knights, this one is definitely a powerhouse. It might soon promote to an earth knight.'

Not only that, Zhang Tie found that this demon knight had rich battle experiences, which could even match his battle skills which he had formed due to rich experiences in the trouble-reappearance situations.

'This is a powerful enemy, a real enemy!' Zhang Tie exerted his utmost efforts since they collided with each other.

...

1 hour later, the two knight's protective battle qis were both collapsed. Zhang Tie and that demon knight then rolled, wrestled and fell onto the ground forcefully, causing another huge pit...

Zhang Tie broke its right arm while Zhang Tie's left arm was smashed into pieces.

The moment they fell onto the ground, the demon knight hit Zhang Tie's lower abdomen with its left knee, causing a severe damage to Zhang Tie's body; closely after that, he swept his leg towards Zhang Tie's leg, breaking Zhang Tie's left leg at once.

With bloody eyes, Zhang Tie hit onto its lower abdomen with his right knee ferociously. Closely after that, he butted onto the demon knight's face with his head, causing its head to raise up.

They then spat out blood at the same time...

The demon knight's one hand got rid of Zhang Tie's wrestle and gave a severe blow to Zhang Tie's heart, although having not penetrated the latter's body.

Watching that demon knight's raised face, Zhang Tie roared and ferociously bit its throat.

Being benefited from so many seven-strength fruits and fruit of source, Zhang Tie's teeth, which represented the strength of marrow, was as firm as blades made up of polished diamonds.

The moment he put forth his strength, Zhang Tie had penetrated through the fine scales over the demon knight's neck and cut through its windpipe...

Zhang Tie ferociously tore it with his teeth, causing its blood to spray over Zhang Tie's face. Some blood even entered Zhang Tie's mouth...

This time, Zhang Tie sensed the "quiver" of this demon knight due to fear...

"Ahh..." In crazy cries, that demon knight started to attack Zhang Tie more ferociously. Spitting out a mouth of blood, Zhang Tie tightly seized this demon knight. Closely after that, like a fierce animal, he bit its main blood vessel on the side of its windpipe and cut through it with his sharp teeth. He then tore off a large piece of bloody flesh and broke its main blood vessel on its neck. Meanwhile, he swallowed its flesh...

3 minutes later, only half of the demon knight's neck was stuck to its head. Before death, the demon knight still looked scared.

"Pah..." Zhang Tie spat out the blood and dogmeat of the demon knight and roared as he stood up in the huge pit in a groggy way with blood stains all over his face, "Who else?"

378, Zhang Clan's points rose once again and fixed there.

In the next second, Zhang Tie felt that he exited the Heavens Ball and returned to his own body...
