Castle of Black Iron

“Brother Cangwu…” Zhang Tie stopped as he revealed a surprised smile. Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could meet Feng Cangwu here. It was really thrilling for friends and brothers to meet on the battlefield. It felt even better than meeting a fellow-townsman in a foreign country. Before Feng Cangwu responded, Zhang Tie had given a bearhug to him as he fervently and forcefully patted Feng Cangwu’s back and said, “I’ve not imagined that I could meet you here. Does Tianji Sect assign people here too…”

As Zhang Tie grew up in Waii Subcontinent, his deeds and temperaments were always similar to the customs of people in Waii Subcontinent. In Waii Subcontinent, if good brothers met each other somewhere, they couldn’t help but give a bearhug to each other to express that they were kind. However, in Taixia Country, people’s etiquettes would be more implicit.

“Ahem..ahem…I’ve not imagined that I could meet…meet you here…” Feng Cangwu who was always distant might have not been hugged by a male on this occasion. Therefore, being hugged by Zhang Tie, he didn’t know where to put his arms as he said, “Erm…can you release me first?”

“Hahaha…” Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he felt much better at once. After patting Feng Cangwu’s back for 2 more times, he moved a few steps backward. He then looked at Feng Cangwu from his foot to his head while his smile grew bigger, “8 change black iron realm. Congratulations. You will promote to an earth knight in a few years. When you promote to an earth knight, I will gift you a big red packet…”

“You, feel…” Feng Cangwu looked at Zhang Tie as his heart pounded.

Less than 1 year ago, Feng Cangwu could still sense Zhang Tie’s cultivation base to a certain degree when in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory; however, this time, Feng Cangwu felt that Zhang Tie’s qi was as profound as the sea. If not being familiar with Zhang Tie, Feng Cangwu couldn’t sense the trivial change of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie reminded Feng Cangwu of those senior fellow apprentices and uncle masters of Feng Cangwu who would soon promote to shadow knights after long-term seclusion that Feng Cangwu saw a few years ago. Zhang Tie slightly felt as flexible as shadow knights…

‘No, Zhang Tie is even more powerful than those senior fellow apprentices and uncle masters in Heavens Fortune Sect.’ Feng Cangwu’s heart palpitated; because he faintly felt the indifferent look of ignoring everything that would be owned by real powerhouses. It was not because of arrogance or disguise; but a unique temperament that a person would have on a certain level. It was a kind of high realm that a person would enter after standing on the top of the mountain peak. Even though Zhang Tie behaved fervently and modestly, his unique temperament would never disappear.

As Feng Cangwu was familiar with Zhang Tie and had seen the world, he could sense the indifferent temperament of Zhang Tie. Commoners could never sense it.

“Well, I was almost ambushed by some b*stards when I went out for a mission 2 months ago. After 2 months’ recuperation, the moment I came out, I’ve received a task to convoy two corps of Wuzhou Provincial Army to evacuate to Huanzhou Province from Xiangshan City. I’m heading for Blackwater Base to report on my mission!”

Even though it was an earth-shaking dangerous experience, Zhang Tie would describe it casually like buying vegetables in a marketplace. As Zhang Tie said it, he blinked his eyes towards Feng Cangwu. Feng Cangwu understood that it was not the proper place for a chat.

However, someone caught the loophole from Zhang Tie’s words at once.

“Hehheh, I’ve not imagined that the famous Qianji Hermit is just so-so in the holy war…” One of the young knights who flew towards here together with Feng Cangwu immediately satirized Zhang Tie with a sneer, “After being ambushed by demons, you recuperated for 2 months; you missed the toughest counterattack under the leadership of Commander Zuoqiu. Finally, you came back after completing an easy mission, haha…”

Feng Cangwu had 5 partners, 4 males and 1 female. All of them were black iron human knights. The 6 people were all very young and had a special qi field. At the sight of the 5 knights, Zhang Tie had guessed that they came from the top 7 clans of Taixia Country.

Zhang Tie threw a glance at that knight who made impertinent remarks. At the 20s, he had thin lips and an oval face, which didn’t look bad. Some women might like him. However, this man’s eye light contained some jealousy and defiance.

In front of Zhang Tie, who dared say that they were geniuses, even the most excellent and youngest elites among the top 7 sects? Zhang Tie’s reputation in the Western Continent and Eastern Continent were much better than these people. It could be said that Zhang Tie made these so-called geniuses too ashamed to show their faces.

“Who’s this idiot?” Zhang Tie asked Feng Cangwu straightforwardly.

“Ahem…ahem…” Feng Cangwu became speechless. He knew Zhang Tie’s temperament. If the others didn’t offend him, Zhang Tie would not offend them; if the others offended him, they had to be ready for being trampled. Zhang Tie didn’t treat everyone modestly, enthusiastically and kindly…

“Zhang Tie, you…” The knight’s sarcastic sneer disappeared at once as his face turned red. If it was someone else, the young knight might have long launched a strike; he was not even afraid of ordinary earth knights. However, as Zhang Tie was too prestigious, the young knight really dared not fight Zhang Tie. Additionally, the young knight looked around and found that none of the rest 5 knights would like to stand on his side as all of them just watched aside with a distant look…

Feng Cangwu pretended to cough twice once again as he answered Zhang Tie, “This one is Wen Qingkong, one of the 9 young elites in Taiyi Fantasy Sect…”

“Oh, I see!” Zhang Tie looked as if he had long known that. Even if Zhang Tie didn’t say it, his words between lines had made all the other 4 young knights look serious as they suppressed a smile. Feng Cangwu also resisted the impulse to laugh. Not until now did Feng Cangwu sense that Zhang Tie’s words were even more destructive than his. Only by opening his mouth, Zhang Tie would be able to kill someone. “I see” sounded even more destructive than stabbing blades into people’s body.

Wen Qingkong’s face turned purple as he quivered all over. Since he joined Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Wen Qingkong had not imagined that he could meet someone who dared not give him a face in the public.

“Zhang Tie, don’t be too excessive. As an earth demon knight, my senior fellow apprentice Liu of Taiyi Fantasy Sect killed 1 earth demon knight and 4 black iron demon knight alone a few days ago. With his military exploits, he could rank top 3 on the List of Earth Knights in the Western Theater of Operations. I also killed a black iron wing demon knight. At that time, everybody was fighting demon knights. Where were you?” Wen Qingkong asked with a twisted, arrogant and vicious look.

“I will report in Blackwater Base. Let’s have a drink somewhere after a while…” Zhang Tie told Feng Cangwu before flying towards the Blackwater Base.

Since the beginning, Zhang Tie just treated Wen Qingkong as nothing. He didn’t even talk with Wen Qingkong; neither did he turn his face towards Wen Qingkong. That was the real defiance! Zhang Tie told Wen Qingkong with practical actions that Wen Qingkong was not even qualified to talk to him.

Watching Zhang Tie flying away, Wen Qingkong’s face turned blue at once. Closely after that, he shook his body in the sky and spurted out a mouth of blood…
