Chapter 1291: Being Trapped (I)

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

Zhang Tie’s incarnation and the little black beetle in the sleeve of Zhang Tie’s incarnation were inter-dependent as well as independent. Nobody else could reach such a mysterious realm by combining the top-secret animal controlling skill of “Great Wilderness Sutra” with the master-level body separation skill with the effect of multi-tasking skill except for Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie’s incarnation moved forward rapidly. When it was approaching the winding and narrow tunnel, it purposefully slowed down and looked a bit meticulous. Because even an idiot would know that he was easily ambushed when he entered a vast space from a relatively, hidden space.

Being less than 100 m away from the other end of the tunnel, the little black beetle quietly flew out of the sleeve of Zhang Tie’s incarnation and combined with the surrounding palisades in a remote place.

When Zhang Tie’s incarnation reached the other end of the tunnel, it stopped at once out of the instinct and meticulousness of an earth knight in this case as if it didn’t know there was an ambush in the spacious space. It just stood at the edge of the end and looked around this underground space with shiny eyes.

Under the gaze of lotus-flower eyes whose effect had declined by half, Zhang Tie’s incarnation found Gao Tianzhao and those demon wing knights held their breaths at once as they became more careful in case of failing this task. Zhang Tie knew that Gao Tianzhao was still observing his incarnation in the dark. As a shadow knight, Gao Tianzhao was confident to observe Zhang Tie’s incarnation without being noticed. Gao Tianzhao was less than 3,000 m away from Zhang Tie’s incarnation, who was observing Zhang Tie’s movements behind a stalactite on the top of the spacious underground space. Meanwhile, Gao Tianzhao was waiting for the right chance to launch a strike towards Zhang Tie’s incarnation.

The two wing demon knights were “performing” good. The moment Zhang Tie came to the edge of this space underground space, the two “baits” had been “shocked”. The two wing demon knights then rushed towards Zhang Tie with bloody eyes while uttering weird sounds, one after another, which looked normal in this case.

The two wing demon knights were both black iron knights. As for Zhang Tie, he could catch them alive only after a short while; however, if they were two earth demon knights or one earth demon knight and one black iron demon knight, they might scare Zhang Tie away as they almost had the same battle strength as Zhang Tie superficially. Given this point, the one who set the trap was really considerate.

However, no matter what, the one who screwed up Zhang Tie had not imagined that Zhang Tie had lotus-flower eyes and had already seen through everything in this underground space from 10,000 m away.

“You’re really dauntless…” Zhang Tie sneered as he punched towards the two wing demons as fast as lightning bolts. As a result, the two grim wing demons were sent flying backward in a pretty embarrassing way from 100 m away.

“Earth knight…” The two wing demon knights screamed as they turned evidently flurried after realizing that Zhang Tie was an earth knight through “probe”. After knowing that they couldn’t defeat Zhang Tie, they hurriedly flew back towards the entrance of another tunnel in the far…

In their script, when Zhang Tie saw two wing demon knights escaping away in front of him, he would definitely fly out of the mountain cave and chase after them. After Zhang Tie left the other end of the winding, narrow tunnel for a distance, Gao Tianzhao and the other demon knights would show up and block Zhang Tie’s route of retreat. Being dominated by a shadow human knight, the 8 demon knights would kill Zhang Tie in this spacious underground space for sure…

They were confident about their trap. As long as Zhang Tie left the other end of the winding, narrow tunnel, he would be killed by them in this spacious underground space no matter how powerful was this earth knight.

Zhang Tie flew out of the other end of the tunnel; however, soon after he left there for less than 200 m when Gao Tianzhao had just revealed a faint fleer, Zhang Tie had moved back at the other end of the tunnel. He threw a dubious and meticulous glance at the tunnel behind him, then this spacious underground space, then the two escaping wing demon knights. He looked hesitated…

After seeing Zhang Tie moving back, Gao Tianzhao’s fleer instantly froze as he continued to hide there. If Zhang Tie flew hundreds of meters more and was over 1,000 m away from the other end of the winding, narrow tunnel, Gao Tianzhao would be confident to kill Zhang Tie in this spacious underground space. He had not imagined that Zhang Tie could be so careful.

The two wing knights continued to escape towards the entrance of another tunnel in the distance. Right under Zhang Tie’s eyes, they entered the other tunnel and disappeared…

At the sight of this scene, most of the earth knights would probably chase after them, except for Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was still standing at the end of the winding, narrow tunnel as he gazed at this underground space inch by inch. Meanwhile, a steel spear appeared in Zhang Tie’s hand. When he saw a riprap over 800 m away, Zhang Tie directly threw his spear over there.

The spear drew a fiery line in the air and caused a thunder like how it was called Bolt-in-Palm.

With a “boom…”, the riprap over 500 m away was shattered at once, exposing a hidden place.

Another spear appeared in Zhang Tie’s hand. With another boom, a cave on the top of the underground space over 800 m away was blown up.

As more and more steel spears were thrown away, all the places which might contain enemies had been broken or laid flat by Zhang Tie’s Bolt-in-Palm.

Watching what Zhang Tie was doing, Gao Tianzhao became dumbfounded as he wondered whether they had left any loophole…

The latest spear blew up a stalactite over 400 m away from Gao Tianzhao on the top of the underground space.

Gao Tianzhao struggled inside. If he just stayed here, he would be discovered by Zhang Tie’s incarnation sooner or later. But Zhang Tie might just be probing and would stop…

When Gao Tianzhao was struggling, Zhang Tie threw out something once again…

‘Wait…’

Gao Tianzhao was shocked as this time it sounded evidently different than those in earlier times. Additionally, it might be flying towards Gao Tianzhao.

…

Whereas, before Gao Tianzhao left those stalactites, one thing had arrived at the place above Gao Tianzhao’s head. Before Gao Tianzhao fully released his protective qi, that thing had exploded…

“Boom…” With explosive flames, a sound which was much louder than Zhang Tie’s thunder-in-palm rocked the entire underground space as numerous spalls and broken stalactites fell off the top of the spacious underground space…

A figure rushed out of the explosive flames. Although he had released his brilliant protective battle qi, he looked pretty embarrassed. Besides losing half of his hair, his clothes turned into rags. Additionally, there were some bloody bruises on his face. He was like a beggar…

“Gao Tianzhao the founder of Gao Clan!” Zhang Tie “exclaimed” as if he had just discovered Gao Tianzhao. However, soon after that, he burst out into laughter as he said, “You look really special. Why do Heavens Reaching Church become so poor? Look at you, you don’t even have complete clothes. That’s too excessive. That’s the outcome of becoming a lackey of demons. Hahaha…”

Not until then did Gao Tianzhao believe that such a trap would fail. However, the small bruises over his body reminded him that the last thing that Zhang Tie threw must be an alchemist’s bomb. As the alchemist’ bomb exploded too close to him, he didn’t even have time to hide from it. As a result, Gao Tianzhao suffered a bit loss. He was ambushing Zhang Tie; however, he was ambushed by Zhang Tie. What a shameful thing it would be if it was exposed to the public! Gao Tianzhao would not be reconciled to that if he didn’t figure out how his trap was recognized by Zhan Tie. Gritting his teeth, he watched Zhang Tie in the far instead of charging at the latter immediately, “Junior, how did you find me here?”

“I just felt that this place is a bit dangerous. After leaving the end of this tunnel, as long as the tunnel was blocked by someone, I would barely escape away. I’ve not imagined that you’re really ambushing here. Additionally, you’re a shadow knight…” Zhang Tie replied as he slowly moved backward.

“I’m a shadow knight, it’s impossible for you to find me.” Gao Tianzhao shouted as he didn’t believe in Zhang Tie’s words.

“Hehe, don’t be overconfident. It’s true that I could not find you, but my spears could find you!”

“Impossible!” Gao Tianzhao roared, “Bolt-in-Palm is nothing but sh*t in front of me…”

“Bolt-in-Palm is indeed nothing but sh*t in the eyes of a shadow knight; however, I could find you based on the sound of the spear. No matter where you hide and how great your hiding skill is, your body’s resonance would not be as same as that of the stalactites in this underground space. I’ve got a secret skill to test where there were human bodies in this closed space through constant resonances…” Virtual was real; real was virtual. Zhang Tie didn’t mind making up a lie at this moment. After all, his byname Qianji Hermit was used to frighten people.

“It seems that I have to kill you…” After hearing Zhang Tie’s explanation, Gao Tianzhao’s eyes turned solemn at once as he charged at Zhang Tie…

Zhang Tie escaped away instantly…

In front of a shadow knight, unless he wanted to die, Zhang Tie could only escape…

Watching Gao Tianzhao following Zhang Tie into the winding, narrow tunnel, all the other hiding demon knights including the two “baits” showed up as they entered the same tunnel…
