Castle of Black Iron Chapter 1419 - The Rainbow

Chapter 1419: The Rainbow

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

The shadow iron-armored demon knight launched its powerful battle qi towards Zhang Tie, breaking the greater part of the fiery halos which was flying around Zhang Tie.

Its strike carried a strong, sharp sense, which belonged to the attribute of gold. Fire was contradictory to gold. Therefore, it was the fiery halos that Zhang Tie used to defend the iron-armored demon knight's strike.

Bearing the iron-armored demon knight's battle qi strike, Zhang Tie's fiery halos rocked, yet not collapsed. At the same time, the green wood halos sped up to generate fire so as to stabilize the fire halos. The water halos then injected great energy into the wood halos in order to offset the missing energy in the wood halos. At the same time, the water halos gained energy from the gold halos. Therefore, when the sharp qi and energy pa.s.sed to Zhang Tie's gold halos, step by step, it had been completely diffused. Not only that, Zhang Tie's gold halos even expanded a bit, further strengthening the defense of the Five-elements Rings…

All this happened within a millisecond. In the principle of mutual promotion and restraint between the five elements, the Five-elements Rings could well protect Zhang Tie in terms of 5 s.h.i.+elds around Zhang Tie. It was a complex process. In a split second, they might have attacked and defended for dozens of times as the Five-elements Rings had adjusted for dozens of times too.

For now, the most peripheral part of Zhang Tie was the five colorful rings. Being close to the Five-elements Rings was the invisible protective sword wind, followed by Zhang Tie's s.h.i.+eld and protective battle. Such an amazing defensive power would disappoint any opponent in the combat, including that shadow iron-armored demon knight. Before Zhang Tie “promoted to a shadow knight”, the shadow iron-armored demon knight's battle qi could still reach Zhang Tie's protective battle qi and might break it. However, after Zhang Tie aided the Five-elements Rings, the strikes of that shadow iron-armored demon knight could almost reach Zhang Tie's s.h.i.+eld.

With the appearance of the Five-elements Rings, Zhang Tie immediately took the wind.

Gradually, those Taixia knights above Xuanyuan Fortress started to shout in unison, “Zhang Tie”, “Zhang Tie”, “Zhang Tie” as loud as battle drumbeats. In such exclamations, the Devour Dragon incarnated into a huge sword in Zhang Tie's hand once again while much more powerful sword qi involved that iron-armored demon knight in like a great river in the air.

Previously, Zhang Tie had already exerted the power of his sword to its utmost on the level of earth knight after getting the essence of sword song, swordsmans.h.i.+p and awakening the ancestral blood concerning blood when he could already kill a shadow demon knight in its 6 change realm, not to mention now; after promoting to a shadow knight, of course, Zhang Tie's swordsmans.h.i.+p had also promoted to the shadow knight level. On that level, Zhang Tie's swordsmans.h.i.+p improved at least two times in power and change.

The moment Zhang Tie lashed his sword, the surging sword qi had reached over 10,000 m away. It shattered the clouds, causing moisture to rise in the air. As a result, wind, frost, rain and snow appeared alternatively. When the sword qi fell onto the ground, it caused a trench which lasted hundreds of meters long. The power of this swordsmans.h.i.+p was absolutely out of the imagination of commoners.

At this moment, in the eyes of all the onlookers, Zhang Tie's sword was not releasing sword qi or light, but stars over the sky, rising and falling sun and moons, vicissitudes of the fortune and the picturesque landscape…

All the human knights who were obsessed with swordsmans.h.i.+p above Xuanyuan Fortress were fascinated by this scene.

Facing such a powerful change, the shadow iron-armored demon knight in its 9 change realm who was oppressing Zhang Tie just now in an overbearing manner had lost its popularity as it had already declined to a common meteor among the other bright stars over the sky, the shadow of the rising or falling sun and moons, the aging one as time went by and a gloomy corner in the picturesque landscape…

It was not because the shadow iron-armored demon knight who was in its 9 change realm was not powerful, but because its opponent was so unrivaled that made it dwarfed.

When all the onlookers were obsessed with the combat, the fight abruptly ceased while all the sword qi and light disappeared in a split second. As a result, the “vast landscape” faded away. Zhang Tie was standing still arrogantly in the air with the b.l.o.o.d.y head of the shadow iron-armored demon knight in hand.

The body of the shadow iron-armored demon knight had long been shattered.

At this moment, Zhang Tie broke the dense dark clouds where they fought, causing a crack. The sunlight then penetrated through the crack, casting onto Zhang Tie. A beautiful rainbow that should never manifest in this season appeared in the rising, changeable vapor above the west bank of Weishui River.

Standing below the rainbow and holding the b.l.o.o.d.y head of the shadow demon knight, Zhang Tie was like a deity.

…

At the same time, the sunlight which had broken through the clouds also cast onto a corner in the demon camp.

“Mom, look, rainbow…” An 8-9-year-old Hua boy who was withstanding the cold in his mother's arm raised his faint hand and pointed at the rainbow while a hopeful light flashed across his eyes which were full of despair.

“Yes, that's rainbow, that's rainbow…” The mother who was emaciated and had a sallow expression raised her head and threw a hard glance at the sky in daze.

The wisp of warm light that penetrated through clouds also attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of Hua captives in demon camp. They looked up at the rainbow which could never happen in winter.

‘Is that the comfort from the deity or the collective illusion before death?'

Some Hua civilians started to kneel down and pray…

“Mom, can…can we survive?” The little boy asked hesitantly.

“Yes, we can. Have you seen that rainbow? We will survive on…” The mother tightly huddled up her boy as she burst out tears of hards.h.i.+p.

…

With eyes closed, Zhang Tie was quietly absorbing the wind chakra of the shadow iron-armored demon knight which was about to collapse. After quite a few minutes, Zhang Tie opened his eyes and threw a glance at the demon camp. Closely after that, a sadness appeared in his eyes. Zhang Tie closed his eyes once again. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again and peered at the demon camp, roaring, “Who else?”

Zhang Tie crumbed the demon knight's head as his sound drifted across the air like a dull thunder. Over 100,000 demon knights became pretty quiet at this moment…
