The deity-killing sword arrived at the central forehead of Versatile Demon Emperor as fast as a lightning bolt. Versatile Demon Emperor revealed a faint smile as he reached out his hand and pinched the deity-killing sword immediately.

The Versatile Demon Emperor’s speed was indescribably high, but it appeared extremely slow. Such extremely contradictory impressions made Zhang Tie feel his head numb.

Zhang Tie had never imagined that his deity-killing sword could be pinched easily by someone like an arrow. The deity-killing sword was composed of Zhang Tie’s spiritual energy like a beam of light. It was virtual. Otherwise, it could not enter one’s mind sea.

‘How could Versatile Demon Emperor pinch a virtual thing? How could he pinch a beam of light?’

This whim occurred to Zhang Tie. With a scream, his huge mace had already arrived at the Versatile Demon Emperor’s side.

Versatile Demon Emperor used his strength and cracked the shiny deity-killing swords in a split second. Almost at the same time, he lightly patted Zhang Tie’s mace using the same hand.

With a bang, Zhang Tie released his kinetic strike in a split second. However, its power didn’t expand as Zhang Tie had expected; instead, like a directional blasting, the great energy of his kinetic strike bounced back towards Zhang Tie when it reached Versatile Demon Emperor’s hand. Precisely, the great power was more like being released by that hand; instead of Zhang Tie. More precisely, all the energy of Zhang Tie’s kinetic strike had been controlled as it bounced back the moment it was released.

Facing the great impact wave, Zhang Tie was sent flying backward to 1,000 m away.

Versatile Demon Emperor didn’t even lose a fine hair. By contrast, Zhang Tie’s mouth corners had started to bleed. Zhang Tie could always control the great strength of the kinetic strike. However, this time, the great strength of his kinetic strike was controlled by Versatile Demon Emperor and reacted onto Zhang Tie. As a result, Zhang Tie was injured.

“You’re powerful. You’re very powerful. I’ve never seen such an attack mode before. You’re really something to reach such an amazing effect by combining your speed and the weight of your weapon…” Versatile Demon Emperor praised Zhang Tie’s kinetic strike without changing his face, “Given your current ability, none of the water immortal generals or fire immortal generals across Motian Realm could defeat you. You’re unrivaled among those below supreme-level immortal generals. However, your strike is useless for emperor-level powers. You could not imagine the realm of immortal emperors and demon emperors. However, there’s not been such a person like you in Motian Realm for thousands of years. Now that you could realize the secret methods left by Dragon Emperor, you’re almost qualified to be his disciple. Given the face of Dragon Emperor, I won’t launch a counterattack for 3 movements. If you couldn’t defeat me, you will have no opportunity to defeat me anymore. Just be my puppet then…”

Wiping the blood off his mouth corners, Zhang Tie looked very decisive. In a split second, he rushed towards Versatile Demon Emperor again. This time, Zhang Tie had already taken out a hammer which weighed thousands of kgs by another hand. Zhang Tie brandished his huge hammer towards Versatile Demon Emperor ferociously as fast as a lightning bolt.

When Zhang Tie approached Versatile Demon Emperor, Zhang Tie spun rapidly as he roared, “Double-Dragon Kill”——Zhang Tie then brandished the two heavy weapons towards Versatile Demon Emperor’s head…

Double-Dragon Kill was a fatal skill that Zhang Tie had comprehended after the Battle at Weishui River. When he used this skill, he would hold two heavy weapons and brandished them towards the same target with the same rhythm. With Zhang Tie’s delicate movements, the two weapons’ weights could be integrated. If his weapons could be two times heavier, his kinetic strike would also be two times more powerful too. Additionally, as he spun rapidly, due to the great centrifugal force, the two weapons’ speed could increase by more than 20% before hitting their common target.

Zhang Tie had not displayed this fatal skill before. However, at this moment, he used it without demur.

The power of the second kinetic strike was 2 times more than that of the first kinetic strike.

However, Versatile Demon Emperor just raised his same hand lightly like lifting a mountain, a city and an insurmountable city wall facing the second kinetic strike which was two times more powerful than that of last time. As a result, Zhang Tie’s kinetic strike was blocked completely. Almost at the same time, the great impact wave rolled back and sent Zhang Tie flying backward. Spurting out blood, Zhang Tie’s injuries aggravated.

Before the second round of impact wave disappeared, Zhang Tie, with blood all over his face, had already gone against the impact wave as he lifted his two weapons and roared, “Go to hell…”

It was Double-Dragon Kill again. Versatile Demon Emperor raised the same hand with a glassy-eyed look.

However, this time, it was different than before. When the two heavy weapons approached Versatile Demon Emperor, Zhang Tie allowed them to go, letting them fly over Versatile Demon Emperor. Even Versatile Demon Emperor was shortly stunned by this trick.

At the same time, Zhang Tie caught Versatile Demon Emperor’s wrist and moved to the latter’s back. Closely after that, Zhang Tie strangled Versatile Demon Emperor’s neck as fast as a lightning bolt in an overwhelming manner by another arm.

The two secret weapons were as light as straws. As a result, Zhang Tie couldn’t give play to his terrifying strength at all. If the two weapons could be 10 times or 20 times heavier, their kinetic strikes would be 10 times or 20 times more lethal. However, Zhang Tie was unable to increase the weights of the two weapons at this moment. Therefore, he could only exert his utmost effort to fight Versatile Demon Emperor by taking advantage of the latter’s arrogance and his great strength.

Zhang Tie didn’t know whether an immortal emperor-level power could have greater strength than him. However, at this moment, as his kinetic strike couldn’t hurt the opponent even a bit, Zhang Tie could only have a try…

Zhang Tie’s arm really had terrifying strength. Before his arm approached Versatile Demon Emperor’s neck, it had caused sonic booms and terrifying cracks.

A shocked look flashed across Versatile Demon Emperor’s face. However, it was just a little shock. “What a nice trick! But it’s still useless to me…”

Zhang Tie’s arm finally touched Versatile Demon Emperor’s neck as his two arms formed a solid triangular shackle. At this moment, Zhang Tie exerted his utmost effort, causing his blood vessels, meridians and muscles to bulge out. Each muscle reflected terrifying power; blood boiling all over, Zhang Tie could even hear the sound of surging rivers.

“Go die…” When Zhang Tie locked Versatile Demon Emperor’s neck, he roared and hit his forehead against the backside of Versatile Demon Emperor.

Feeling Zhang Tie’s terrifying force, Versatile Demon Emperor’s face turned a bit pale; however, he still didn’t move; instead, he just released a golden flame all over.

Zhang Tie was instantly heavily injured by the great force from the golden flame as he spurted out blood through his eyes, ears, mouth and nose at the same time.

The great force was out of Zhang Tie’s imagination. It seemed to be a protective battle qi of Versatile Demon Emperor which could realize negative protection. The defensive force of an immortal-emperor level power was too great. Zhang Tie felt like being run over by a tank or an armored vehicle.

However, Zhang Tie still didn’t loosen his grip. As it was his first time to be so close to Versatile Demon Emperor, Zhang Tie knew that as long as he loosened his grip, he would not have an opportunity to approach and kill this top power anymore.

“Let go of your hands…” Versatile Demon Emperor screamed icily. Being strangled by Zhang Tie, even this top power felt restless. Closely after his words, his golden flame had rocked again, breaking some of Zhang Tie’s bones and ribs at the same time.

Zhang Tie didn’t loosen his grip at all; instead, gnashing his teeth, Zhang Tie used more force. Like iron being just forged, his hands turned hot while his eyes turned bloody. When Versatile Demon Emperor’s golden flame hit against Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie kept hitting against the backside of the former’s head using his forehead.

Even Zhang Tie’s skull was almost cracked. Each time he hit against the backside of Versatile Demon Emperor’s head, he would spurt out blood through his nose, eyes and eyes. As a result, his clothes also had been tinted with blood, making him a bloody person. However, Zhang Tie still didn’t give it up. He just strangled Versatile Demon Emperor’s neck and hit against the backside of the latter’s head using his forehead time and time again.

Zhang Tie’s decisiveness and persistence made Versatile Demon Emperor’s face turn paler. Not until then did Versatile Demon Emperor feel Zhang Tie’s strong will and decisiveness. Zhang Tie was not just fighting him or lingering on with his last breath of life; instead, Zhang Tie wanted to… kill him.

“Let go of your hands…” Versatile Demon Emperor sounded a bit furious. Closely after that, his golden flame rocked again, shattering Zhang Tie’s bones and ribs immediately. At the same time, the golden flame became terrifyingly hot. In a split second, Zhang Tie felt like embracing a red-hot copper pillar and a burning flame.

At such a high temperature, Zhang Tie’s clothes started to burn together with his hair and eyebrows. Although being burned, Zhang Tie still didn’t loosen his grip; instead, he used more force.

Versatile Demon Emperor was shocked. He had not imagined that Zhang Tie still didn’t let go of his hand on this occasion. It was nothing different than jumping into the furnace. Almost nobody could sustain such great pain. It was more like corporal punishment in hell. The pain could not be described in words. Versatile Demon Emperor found that Zhang Tie might be extremely resistant to high temperature. However, his immortal protective flame was also special.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie’s arm, face and skin close to Versatile Demon Emperor started to emit smoke. His hands’ skin in contact with Versatile Demon Emperor’s body started to carbonize, crack and break up in high temperature, exposing his muscles, blood vessels and meridians. Zhang Tie’s hand muscles and blood vessels were taut like steel, which soon started to emit smoke like fresh flesh being put on red-hot searing iron…

Versatile Demon Emperor finally became a bit scared. He wondered what made Zhang Tie’s will so strong. At this moment, Zhang Tie was more like a terrifying lunatic than a human fighter. An immortal general could cut off his nerves causing pain when necessary. Meanwhile, it meant that immortal general gave up controlling his own body. However, Zhang Tie’s arm and hand were as powerful as before. Additionally, he continued to hit against the backside of Versatile Demon Emperor Demon’s head using his forehead. It indicated that Zhang Tie didn’t cut off his nerves at all. With what a strong will could a person sustain such terrifying pain?

‘This person has to die! If such a person promotes to an immortal emperor, it would be doomsday of demons in Motian Realm…’

This whim occurred to Versatile Demon Emperor. At the same time, his immortal protective flame changed into tens of thousands of spines and sharp edges as they hit against Zhang Tie once again. In a split second, Zhang Tie who was burning all over felt being penetrated through by dozens of sabers and swords while blood sprayed out of his back through numerous wounds. All of a sudden, Zhang Tie’s hands were full of bloody wounds, through some of which, Zhang Tie could even see his bones. Additionally, a sharp flame penetrated through Zhang Tie’s left eye, blowing up and causing his pupils to fly out of his eye sockets.

“Hoho… it’s fewer than three movements…you couldn’t stand it anymore?” Zhang Tie said as he gnashed his teeth with a miserable smile. In the fierce flame, he watched his enemy with his right eye as his hands were still locking the neck of Versatile Demon Emperor like an iron shackle.

“It’s the natural response of my immortal protective flame. If I wanted to launch a countermeasure, do you think you could still speak…” Versatile Demon Emperor replied icily, “Let go of your hands, it’s meaningless for you to do that…”

“It’s meaningful; of course, it’s meaningful…”

“What else besides bitterness…”

“It means that I could die together with you…” Zhang Tie said as his sound turned abruptly heroic, “Xing Tian brandishes his axes with his fierce strong will forever…”

Closely after Zhang Tie’s words, a beam of light had risen up. And Zhang Tie’s weak qi became terrifying once again. In the beam of light, a giant appeared behind Zhang Tie with endless and overwhelming qi. That giant was bloody all over with naked upper body. There were strange tattoos on his body. His head had been chopped off. There were new eyes on his chests. His navel became his new huge mouth. The giant was holding two huge towering axes and patting his own chests with them, causing thunders time and time again, rocking the entire space.

At the critical moment, Zhang Tie activated his Xingtian Bloodline, which was one of the most powerful battle-god heavenly-level bloodlines among Hua people. It was always activated in heavy injuries. The heavier the injuries were, the more terrifying its power would be.

In a split second, Zhang Tie’s arms had increased their force for more than 10 times. Versatile Demon Emperor’s face turned purple at once as his eyes almost popped out of his eyesockets——At this critical moment, the force of Zhang Tie’s hands had already surpassed the upper limit of Versatile Demon Emperor.

Previously, Zhang Tie had already acquired 1

/2 immortal strength body; plus the force of Xingtian Bloodline, his force became more terrifying.

More than that. When Zhang Tie triggered his Xingtian Bloodline and made Versatile Demon Emperor suffocate, another beam of light rose up from Zhang Tie. In this beam of light, a magnificent and muscular immortal being hefting a mountain appeared behind Zhang Tie, right behind Xingtian.

This immortal being was Kua’e of Hua people. Kua’e was known as a Hercules, one of the immortal beings of Hua people. It was said that people who had activated Kua’e Bloodline could heft a mountain. Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain in the fable——Silly Old Man Removes Mountains were removed by Kua’e. Kua’e Bloodline represented the top force among all the bloodlines of Hua people. It was the topmost heavenly-level bloodline. Zhang Tie had not heard that anyone could awaken this bloodline over the past hundreds of years in Taixia Country.

Soon after he awakened the two bloodlines, Zhang Tie had felt endless force converging at him from the air.

“Go die…” Zhang Tie roared as loudly as thunders as he hit against the backside of Versatile Demon Emperor’s head with his forehead again.

“Puffff…” Versatile Demon Emperor spurted out blood as his face turned purple.

Versatile Demon Emperor’s face turned dreadfully pale. At this moment, due to his great perception, Versatile Demon Emperor felt that another force was converging in Zhang Tie’s body which meant Zhang Tie was going to awaken the third bloodline. With a perilous qi, the third bloodline gradually boiled Zhang Tie’s battle qi, bloodline and mind sea all over… it… seems to be a bloodline which could enhance the power of Zhang Tie’s self-destruct… this bloodline was strengthening the effect of Xingtian Bloodline simultaneously…

Versatile Demon Emperor’s golden flame became more brilliant as he thrust his left elbow backward. Meanwhile, his right hand cut Zhang Tie’s left arm like a saber…

With a bang, Zhang Tie was sent flying 10,000 m away like a cannonball, meridians and bones broken all over. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie spurted out blood like rain.

…

Zhang Tie picked himself up as he wobbled. His left arm had been broken while the broken part was instantly burned into ashes by the golden flame of Versatile Demon Emperor after losing its link with Zhang Tie.

“Did you say 3 movements… it seems that …ahem, ahem… Versatile Demon Emperor …is just a pile of rubbish who talks like breaking wind. Peh… ahem, ahem, ahem…” None of Zhang Tie’s body parts were complete at this moment. However, he was still smiling with arrogance like a triumphant monarch. He watched Versatile Demon Emperor with the right eye in a disdainful way from over 10,000 m away.

Closely after saying that, Zhang Tie spurted out the broken pieces of his guts through his mouth.

“You’re indeed out of my imagination. I’ve really underestimated you. You should die. Previously, I planned to let you be my puppet; now, I don’t feel reassured making you my puppet with the control of Golden-Soul Rune Virus…” Versatile Demon Emperor said as he watched Zhang Tie icily.

“Even if I fight to death…you’re still a loser in front of me… ahem, ahem… you’re still a pile of rubbish… ahem, ahem…” Zhang Tie covered his mouth using the only hand as his blood was flowing out of his fingers.

“No matter what, I will live and you will die today. In the future, it will be only related to me, not you. Nobody would know what I’m I doing here today…” Versatile Demon Emperor said with a distant look…

“Go die…” Zhang Tie roared again as he rushed towards Versatile Demon Emperor with his incomplete body again. Meanwhile, the huge mace and heavy hammer flew towards Versatile Demon Emperor as fast as lightning bolts under Zhang Tie’s control.

Versatile Demon Emperor sneered as he raised one hand. Zhang Tie felt numerous mountains moving towards him. The air in the space froze at a stroke and turned as hard as steel as if it was not air in front of Zhang Tie, but layers of invisible steel plates and mountains. As a result, it became much more difficult for Zhang Tie to march ahead one more inch…

The speed of Zhang Tie and the two heavy weapons immediately slowed down. Finally, they were squeezed and stayed still in the air. Even though Zhang Tie gnashed his teeth, he could hardly march even an inch forward.

“This is immortal emperor’s fatal formation, also the realm that you’ve mentioned. In this space, all the rules are determined by me. Therefore, it’s time for you to…”

Before Versatile Demon Emperor finished his words, the entire immortal emperor’s fatal formation suddenly rocked heavily like experiencing an earthquake of Richter scale magnitude 10. At the same time, the stress and resistance facing Zhang Tie became very volatile.

An abrupt and playful voice suddenly sounded in the fatal formation, “It turns out to be a demon b*stard who’s applying his fatal battle formation secretly here. Hahaha, coincidentally, this grandpa has just acquired a rarity from Mountain Ruins. I will gift it to you. Take my Formating-Breaking Thunder…”

The voice sounded very strange. When it appeared in the fatal formation, it entered Zhang Tie’s consciousness at the same time. Although the words sounded lengthy, actually it had been finished in 0.001 s.

Soon after the words, Zhang Tie had found that Versatile Demon Emperor’s face turned pale as his fatal formation rocked heavily. In a split second, Versatile Demon Emperor rushed towards Zhang Tie as he pointed out at Zhang Tie by one finger, shooting one terrifying beam of light towards Zhang Tie’s head in an overwhelming way. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie felt that the forces around him had increased greatly again as numerous strong qi hit against him from all directions like thunders.

Zhang Tie knew that he might directly disappear in this world as long as he was hit by it.

Zhang Tie immediately released all the silver secret shields from his mind sea to protect his body…

With a bang, Zhang Tie heard a loud explosion right beside him and outside the fatal formation at the same time. In the heavy rocks and impacts, Zhang Tie spurted out blood again as he felt his guts burning heavily. After that, he felt being involved in a destructive hurricane like a tiny leaf in a split second as his wounds all over crack again. As a result, Zhang Tie felt falling in the dark as he lost his consciousness completely…

…
