Chapter 1090: Old Monster

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The real body of the virtual image of that shadow knight was dull blue and longer than 300 m. The 9 snakeheads were taking clouds and blowing out fog while moving ferociously in the sky. Additionally, the snake had a pair of wings. If not the special luster over the real body of the virtual image of a knight, anyone who caught sight of this terrifying 9-head snake would regard it as a far-ancient fierce beast.

Legends about 9-headed snake existed in both Western Continent and Eastern Continent. Zhang Tie had heard a 9-headed snake called Hydra in some myths and legends in Waii Subcontinent. In Taixia Country, the 9-headed snake was called Xiang Liu!

After considering the two names carefully, Zhang Tie suddenly had an insight.

Hydra and Xiang Liu existed in western myths and eastern myths respectively. After comparing the pronunciations of the two names in two different civilizations, everybody would have an amazing discovery, namely, Hy and Xiang, dra and Liu sounded similar to each other.

The same 9-headed monster shared almost the same name in two civilizations with different cultural backgrounds. What did this mean?

It was never a coincidence.

Before the Catastrophe, humans treated all the myths as fake stories and legends. After the Catastrophe, everybody knew that all the myths and legends in the Eastern Continent and Western Continent contained a lot of secrets about human history. Many myths were even real.

...

The gleaming 9-headed snake flew in the intermediate layer of atmosphere at a speed of higher than 800 miles per hour along with muffled thunders like a moving airboat. It was really f*cking something!

Zhang Tie was shocked a bit as it was his first time to see the real body of the virtual image of a shadow knight.

Zhang Tie heard that a shadow knight could form the real body of a virtual image. Actually, the controller of the real body of the virtual image was still the shadow knight himself. When the knight's body integrated with his virtual image, it would lead to the real body of his virtual image. Of course, the virtual image could not become alive. To put it simply, the real body of virtual image could be considered as a variant of shadow knight or a manipulable armored machine.

Shadow knight would form water chakra. Water was volatile, colorless and invisible. It could exist in the form of gas, liquid and solid. Therefore, after forming water chakra, the real body of the virtual image would be formed basically which had a great power.

Zhang Tie noticed this 9-headed snake flying towards him with strong wind and muffled thunders from hundreds of miles away.

Being evil or not, such a shadow knight must be very flamboyant and had a powerful battle strength. At the sight of him, Zhang Tie had known that he was tricky. Zhang Tie wanted to teleport the thunder hawk into Castle of Black Iron before making an arrangement in Pingsha Valley for the one who went there to take the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms in case of troubles. Therefore, before the 9-headed snake approached him, he had descended and entered the stratosphere so as to avoid from meeting that shadow knight.

Finally, the 9-headed snake crossed Zhang Tie from over 50 miles away above him.

When they crossed each other, Zhang Tie felt that one head of the snake turned around and threw a glance at him. However, they didn't communicate with each other.

The previous two waves of knights and this shadow knight flew towards the same direction. After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie felt that they might be heading for the Gold and Power Market. Zhang Tie remembered that Bai Suxian said that Gold and Power Market was going to hold a Treasures Meeting recently; therefore, powerhouses from all parties joined the fun.

'I wonder about the real body of the virtual image of king roc after promoting to a shadow knight.'

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Zhang Tie had forgotten about it. Unless he was not afraid of exposing the news that he was cultivating King Roc Sutra to the public, as long as he released the virtual image of king roc, he would become a target for all. He might not even know how he was killed. Therefore, he could only continue to be low-key even though he had promoted to a shadow knight.

Although he had a powerful virtual image, he could not release it. Because he could not grasp the corresponding secret skill of the King Roc Sutra , he couldn't exert his flight ability to the utmost...

'Alas, what a poor life I have!'

If Zhang Tie's plaint was heard by the public, he might be drowned by the saliva of people in the world in the blink of an eye.

Having Castle of Black Iron; promoting to an earth knight at his 30s; cultivating an emperor-level secret method King Roc Sutra ; If such a person still complained that he had a poor life, what about others' lives?

After seeing the real body of the virtual image of the 9-headed snake, Zhang Tie didn't continue to test his flight ability; instead, he just flew towards the thunder hawk in the stratosphere.

After another 2 hours, it was already dark while the sky was covered with sparkling stars. Zhang Tie didn't know where he was. He just saw undulating primitive woods on the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Tie sensed a shadow approaching him and already entering his vision.

Zhang Tie immediately suspended in the air while a golden lightning bolt was darting towards him from over 70 miles away. In the distance, that shadow which had been moving too fast accelerated once again. It took the shadow less than 2 minutes to fly over 70 miles.

'Almost 3 times that of the velocity of sound, f*ck!'

Zhang Tie was startled when he saw the golden light directly ramming towards his arms like how it always did when it was young.

Along with a strong wind and a golden light, before Zhang Tie responded to it, an extremely dignified bizarre huge golden bird whose wingspan was over 6 m had directly rammed into Zhang Tie's arms, sending him flying hundreds of meters backward.

The impact force brought by such a high speed, such a sturdy figure and such a weight was like that brought by a train at its high speed. Someone below knight level might have been severely injured. Zhang Tie suffered the impact force by flying backward hundreds of meters.

Hugging the bird's body, Zhang Tie suspended in the air while that bird's huge head was rubbing in his arms and uttering an exotic sound like a spoiled child as it usually did when it was young.

'But...but...how could this thunder hawk become so huge?'

Zhang Tie was really shocked by what he saw, 'It's too exaggerated. It's been only 4 years!'

However, before Zhang Tie greeted it, the huge bird chirped a few more times, pulling Zhang Tie out of his shock.

"What? You mean a bored old d**chebag met you in the sky and was chasing after you. That guy was flying only a bit slower than you? Even though he's far away from you, the light that he gave out had almost covered you a few times?"

The huge bird nodded.

Zhang Tie quivered all over. He knew the speed of this thunder hawk over the past hours, 'It flew about tens of thousands miles at a speed of above 2 times the velocity of sound. The shadow knight who released the real body of his virtual image could only reach a bit more than one times the velocity of sound. However, that old d**chebag could fly so many hours at a speed of 2 times the velocity of sound for tens of thousands miles after the thunder hawk?'

When Zhang Tie thought about this, he hurriedly started his lotus-flower eyes and looked in the direction where the thunder hawk came from.

A humanoid shadow being covered with purple light was flying towards here at an extremely high speed from hundreds of miles away.

In the purple light, there was an old guy in sackcloth and straw sandals with a huge silver gourd which was higher than 1 m. At the sight of this old guy, Zhang Tie had realized that he was an old monster above a heavenly knight. Only after looking at him for a few times from hundreds of miles away, Zhang Tie had found the old guy frowned as if he had sensed Zhang Tie's gaze. In a split second, the old guy's eyes flickered while shooting out two purple light towards Zhang Tie's direction.

'Damn!'

Zhang Tie was really startled as he felt goosebumps over his head. He immediately caught the thunder hawk and darted towards the ground.

After witnessing the ability of Zhao Yuan, his master, Zhang Tie could imagine how terrifying was a heavenly knight. A heavenly knight must have a lot of secret methods. If he played hide-and-seek with such an old guy in the sky, he was definitely seeking for death. Perhaps this old guy just wanted to catch the thunder hawk alive; therefore, he didn't kill it. Otherwise, the thunder hawk might have already been caught.

Zhang Tie and the thunder hawk penetrated through the stratosphere like meteors and entered the troposphere. The troposphere was covered with clouds. Zhang Tie used the same trick. When the cloud shaded all the downwards eye light, he entered Castle of Black Iron with the thunder hawk. After entering Castle of Black Iron, he incarnated into a small beetle at the fastest speed. At the same time, he activated a hiding skill for the little beetle and flew out of the clouds. Finally, he landed on a pine needle on the top of a mountain before looking up at the sky silently.

The fact proved that Zhang Tie's movements were not redundant.

Only after a few minutes, the purple light had entered the cloud where Zhang Tie and that thunder hawk had been in just now. Closely after that, the old guy swayed his sleeve, causing a LV 10 strong wind. In a split second, the cloud was broken apart and disappeared, revealing the empty sky...

Being shocked by this scene, the little beetle's claws slipped as it almost fell off the pine needle...

'F*ck, is that a human?'

Zhang Tie finally knew how terrifying were those people on the level of Zhao Yuan.

As the old guy didn't find the thunder hawk in the cloud, he flew around this air territory and swayed his sleeve constantly. Each time he swayed his sleeve, he would clean up a cloud. In only a few minutes, the sky had been very beautiful with bright moonlight and sparse sparkling stars...
