Castle of Black Iron

"Impossible..." Qi Tai, also known as Lord Lanling, turned such gloomy at once on the huge fleet as he instantly sprung up from his chair...

As a supreme-level immortal general, how could he be killed in such a short period of time?

In the beginning, the supreme-level demon general didn't express such an overwhelming advantage. However, all of a sudden, the wing demon's battle force surged. After launching some lightning attacks at Ye Guyu, it tore open his protective battle qi using its wings on its back which were as sharp as blades. Closely after that, it caught up with Ye Guyu. Before the latter released his protective battle qi, the wing demon had already torn apart Ye Guyu's body...

Ye Guyu didn't even have time to activate his battle formation.

As a supreme-level immortal general, his battle formation was even more powerful than his protective battle qi at the critical moment. In his battle formation, a supreme-level immortal general could control everything. Even if he met a more powerful opponent, with the protection of his battle formation, he could also use many times more tricks and counterattacks than common immortal generals. It was very difficult for supreme-level immortal generals to kill someone on the same level. That also explained why very few supreme-level immortal generals or demon generals could be killed by the opponent on the same level in combats.

The battle formation was the most powerful means that supreme-level immortal generals used to defend and attack at the same time which could be activated only by a whim. The activation of one's battle formation would not be considered as a cowardly performance even though in the process of combat between two generals. Why would Ye Guanyu give up using this means at that critical moment?

The exclamations of demons were earth-shaking. By contrast, humans became silent at a stroke. Just now, human immortal generals were excited that their wind immortal general killed a wind demon general. Unexpectedly, their supreme-level immortal general was killed by the opponent in such a short period of time. Therefore, many human immortal generals couldn't believe their own eyes.

It was a supreme-level immortal general, who could establish an immortal palace and might promote to an immortal emperor!

"Isn't there any human who could defeat me?" The wing demon's voice drifted to the humans' side from far away with the wave of air, which also declined the morale of all the human immortal generals.

Over 100,000 demon generals burst out laughing. Star Emperor and Force Emperor looked a bit gloomy.

The battle just now was a bit weird. If another human supreme-level immortal general was killed, it would be a greater loss for humans. Supreme-level immortal generals were not as cheap and common as white cabbages. Over so many years when humans and demons confronted each other in Nine Heavens Big Domain, humans barely lost two supreme-level immortal generals on the battlefield the same day.

"F*ck..." A person suddenly flashed by Star Emperor and Force Emperor. It was Qi Tai the Lord Lanling. Given Qi Tai's burning eyes, he might want to avenge Ye Guyu.

Star Emperor and Force Emperor just exchanged a glance with each other as they became silent at the same time.

Qi Tai had already established Lanling Immortal Palace for over 300 years. Undoubtedly, his battle force was great. Given his rank, although he was also a supreme-level immortal general, his battle force couldn't be matched by common supreme-level immortal generals. As long as a fire immortal general could completely realize the rules of forming his battle formation and the strength of the four elements, he or she would be able to promote to a supreme-level immortal general. In the eyes of most of the people, if a supreme-level immortal general didn't drink Nine Heavens Immortal Spring, he would not be able to form an immortal chakra. Even though that supreme-level immortal general could found an immortal palace, his road of cultivation would come to an end. There was only one rank for supreme-level immortal generals, namely supreme-level immortal generals couldn't be further divided in detail. Therefore, the difference between supreme-level immortal generals couldn't be too great.

In fact, even though supreme-level immortal generals didn't drink Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, there might still be a terrifyingly great difference between their battle forces. The difference mainly came from two aspects. First, spiritual energy and battle qi could increase limitlessly when a supreme-level immortal general was in ascetic cultivation. Although it would not enhance the stage of a supreme-level immortal general, it could lead to a qualitative effect and enable a supreme-level immortal general to output several times more even dozens of times more destructive ability than other supreme-level immortal generals in each strike and overwhelmed the other supreme-level immortal generals. Second, supreme-level immortal generals' realization about universal laws, which could be directly applied in a supreme-level immortal general's battle formation, enhancing his battle formation's destructive force greatly.

Therefore, although there were many supreme-level immortal generals in Motian Realm, very few of them could establish immortal palaces or promote to be immortal emperors. If they were almost the same on the battle force, how could a supreme-level immortal general conquer the other supreme-level immortal generals and declare to be immortal kings?

Qi Tai didn't attend the battle easily because his battle force ranked closely after Force Emperor and Star Emperor. Of course, such a powerhouse would not fight other supreme-level immortal generals at the risk of his life. Otherwise, the entire Lanling Immortal Palace might collapse once he was in danger.

However, watching a grand justice of Lanling Immortal Palace being killed by a demon general, Qi Tai finally couldn't wait to rush into the battlefield.

...

Hanging in the air, the wing demon who had killed Ye Guyu just watched Qi Tai approaching him with a cold grim smile without any fear on its face.

"Go die..." Qi Tai roared as he slashed his 2-m longer saber towards that wing demon from 10,000 m away with a saber light.

In a split second, the saber light charged at the wing demon, causing the entire sky above Deities Plain to change its color.

At this moment, a pair of spike suddenly appeared in the hand of the wing demon which appeared to able to absorb all the saber lights. Facing the surging saber lights, the wing demon didn't retreat at all; instead, it flapped its wings and shot towards Qi Tai like a black lightning bolt.

When they collided with each other, Qi Tai's saber light was split up by the wing demon's spike. Closely after that, they started fierce close combat between two sage-level knights.

...

At this moment, all the human immortal generals were gazing at Qi Tai with wide eyes. Many low-level immortal generals even held their breaths. The uproars on the demon's side also stopped the moment the combat started. Both parties were gazing at the combat on the battlefield.

As an immortal king of Lanling Immortal Palace, Qi Tai was indeed much greater than Ye Guyu in movement, speed, momentum and attacking force in the close combat.

The wing demon seemed to have hidden its battle force just now. When it fought Qi Tai, it became much more powerful than before. Actually, they were neck and neck.

The entire battlefield was filled with Qi Tai's roars and his surging battle qi and saber lights.

"You hid your battle force on purpose and induced weaker human immortal generals to fight you!"

The wing demon remained silent. It just fought and circled Qi Tai like a black vulture and was not inferior to Qi Tai's surging battle qi and saber lights.

Such high-level close combat was a rare opportunity for human immortal generals and demon generals to watch and learn. Therefore, over 200,000 powerhouses were watching it with wide eyes.

As for ordinary fierce immortal generals, earth immortal generals and water immortal generals, they couldn't completely catch up with the two lights&shades on the battlefield by eyes. Those who could see clearly or perceive the details of the close combat were at least wind immortal generals or demon generals.

Such fierce close combat between two high-level powerhouses soon lasted 2 hours.

The wing demon slightly took the upper hand in collisions with Qi Tai and was gradually able to suppress the latter. Qi Tai's protective battle qi was also fluctuating at an increasingly higher frequency.

...

'Something is not right...'

Watching that wing demon's performance, Star Emperor and Force Emperor felt something was wrong. Their hearts suddenly palpitated as a whim flashed by.

Force Emperor then looked at the army of demons when he found Versatile Demon Emperor who had revealed its original body as a disguised demon and Black Mountain Demon Emperor who was an iron-armored demon emperor were sitting at the stem of the huge fleet of demons with faint weird and brutal sneer from over 300 miles away in the air.

——It's too late for you to realize it!

...

"No, why I cannot activate my battle formation. It feels being locked..." Qi Tai who felt being in an inferior position roared again with great shock and faint imperceptible panic.

In the beginning, Qi Tai was pretty furious; after over 2 hours' battle, he gradually became shocked by the wing demon, even a bit flurried. Not until then did he understand why Ye Guyu didn't use his battle formation at the critical moment.

"Nothing is impossible. This is the dark aiding strength that His Highness Demon Prince has carried since he was born. It's able to seal all the four elements. Facing such great strength, any change of the four elements which could form battle formation would be locked in the space. Any supreme-level immortal general would not be able to use their battle formation once they were locked by Your Highness Demon Prince..." Versatile Demon Emperor said coldly as each of its words sounded like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of over 100,000 human immortal generals and Qi Tai at the same time.

'Demon prince. That wing demon is a demon prince...' At this moment, all the humans at present changed their faces, including Star Emperor and Force Emperor.

In the hearts of all the human immortal generals across Motian Realm, the two words demon prince was like magic, which could always make them feel cold deep in hearts out of control.
