Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 360

Chapter 360
　　


Kneeling down on the floor, Zhang Tie coughed out several mouths of blood and panted for about half a minute before picking himself up .

Although it was a short fight, it was the most dangerous among all the fights that Zhang Tie had experienced . Before breaking open the door of the conference room, he didn't know if there was a powerhouse above LV 10 in here . He didn't know the outcome of this battle until he finished the battle at the risk of his own life .

Fortunately, there were no powerhouses above LV 10 in the conference room . Those who could pose threats to him were two LV 8 powerhouses and one LV 9 powerhouse . It was already a high configuration with two LV 8 powerhouses and one LV 9 powerhouse in a clan mansion . In an army, only troops above regiments could enjoy such a high configuration .

Over the intense ten seconds, Zhang Tie had used all of his top fighting skills — rapid moving skill, binding skill, Iron-Blood Fist, precise throwing, space teleportation function of the Castle of Black Iron . Additionally, he had become very strike-resistant as he had eaten a lot of iron-body fruits; plus his fast recovery ability with the help of preliminary recovery body . Therefore, he was able to kill the two LV 8 guys and one LV 9 guy in a short period .

At this moment, although Zhang Tie won the fight, he had also suffered severe inner wounds as he had chosen to resist the LV 9 powerhouse's smack face to face despite the great number of iron-body fruits that he had eaten .

However, compared to the wounds that Zhang Tie had suffered, that LV 9 guy was much more miserable after being hit by Zhang Tie's unrivaled, ferocious Iron-Blood Battle Qi and Iron-Blood Fist . The fight had come to an end after Zhang Tie's fist smashed into that man's body . If that man knew that Zhang Tie was practicing Iron-Blood Fist and had already formed his Iron-Blood Battle Qi, he would have never allowed Zhang Tie's punch to touch him .

Due to his blind confidence and lack of intel on Zhang Tie, the LV 9 powerhouse lost the battle in the shortest period .

Wound for wound, life for life and gain the advantage by the terrifying power of his Iron-Blood Fist and his great strike-resistant body — that was the best way to kill that LV 9 powerhouse in the shortest period .

Zhang Tie finally succeeded .

Not until then did Zhang Tie pick up his sword and walk towards the remaining five people who were still bound .



Zhang Tie didn't explain anything; he directly ignored the shocking and fearful looks of the five people who didn't even know what had happened to their bodies . With one slash per person, Zhang Tie finished the final clean-up of the Zhen Clan Mansion in Heavens Cold City within several seconds just like killing chickens .

A dense, bloody smell drifted out of the conference room; nobody in the Zhen Clan Mansion of Heavens Cold City was left alive .

As Zhang Tie had become accustomed to collecting spoils of war since he was in the Iron-Blood Camp; of course, he planned to grab such a great chance .

Zhang Tie didn't know why these b*stards held a conference here at midnight . But, obviously, those present were the management of the Zhen Clan, at least with a high status . Because Zhen Clan Mansion was also a trade base, they were definitely rich guys .

After taking a round in the conference room for a circle leisurely, Zhang Tie had collected a lot of "spoils of war" — eight purses, six rings, various high-end wristwatches, and pocket watches, etc . .

Although there were a few gold coins in the purses, there were a lot of papernotes, which were worth more than 30,000 gold coins in total . Five of the six finger rings were inlaid with valuable jewelries and diamonds, while the remaining one had an eccentric but simple shape .

The eccentric one was not made of gold, neither was it laid with glamorous jewelries . Besides, there were not too many grains on it . However, three pieces of a pale blue metal, the size of little finger, were inlaid in three places of the ring . They were on the same level with the ring on the surface . If one did not observe it carefully, one might not easily notice the metal inside .

Although it looked simple, when Zhang Tie held it, he felt weird .

This ring was from that LV 9 guy's finger . Given that guy's position in the conference room, he should be the master of this Mansion . Of course, his ring was not average .

Zhang Tie weighed that ring while the same familiar sense reappeared . It reminded Zhang Tie of that rune equipment that he had sold in the auction house of Kalur City — Ring of Vitality .



'What a great fortune!' Zhang Tie yelled inside as he injected his spiritual energy into the ring .

— Ring of Land Protection . With this ring, the wearer can survive greater attacks and possess greater strength . The attributes of this rune equipment were as follows:

— Reduce physical harm by 6% .

— Increase physical explosive power by 145 kg .
　
— Made by Zhang Dingfang, the rune manufacturer of Huaiyuan Palace .

'Hahaha, good item!' Taking off his mask, Zhang Tie grinned . As this item could not be exposed to the public, he directly threw this ring and the other "spoils" into the Castle of Black Iron .

For Zhang Tie, the gold coins and papernotes worth more than 30,000 gold coins really helped Zhang Tie a lot at a moment when his disposable income was running low .

Several days ago, Zhang Tie bought slaves and made preparations for this action; later on, he added some necessary items for his castle on Yunju Mountain . As a result, he'd almost used up all the money from selling all-purpose medicament .

Those vials of all-purpose medicament that Zhang Tie moved out of the Castle of Black Iron had almost all been sold out . Therefore, he could only sell a very limited number of vials each day . However, the latest all-purpose medicament had not been well-fermented yet; therefore, he'd lacked money recently . He had to wait at least twenty days before he turned the latest all-purpose medicament into gold coins, namely, late July or early August .

What was more, Zhang Tie still owed 460,000 gold coins to Long Wind Business Group for building the castle . Although the 30,000-odd gold coins were not too much for Zhang Tie, it could still relieve Zhang Tie's current problem . Actually, for more than 99% of people, they might not be able to make 30,000 gold coins over their whole lives .

After gaining more than 30,000 gold coins and a rune equipment, Zhang Tie became excited once again; even his wounds were not that painful anymore .

After circling around the conference room, Zhang Tie collected all the valuable items; he then left .

There was a door inside the conference room . Being driven by curiosity, Zhang Tie opened that door and found it led to a study room .

When he remembered that woman downstairs said that there was a hidden room in the study room, Zhang Tie started to look for it carefully in the study room .

Except for Zhang Tie, nobody else was alive in the whole building; additionally, it was midnight . Zhang Tie didn't worry about making noises at all; therefore, he started to search the room incautiously .

Taking apart the sofa, moving away the desk, pushing away the furniture in the study, and pushing off all the books on the bookcase one row by another . When Zhang Tie pushed off the book from the bookcase next to one wall of the study room and was going to push down the bookcase, he finally saw a handle-like switch on the wall behind the books .

Zhang Tie lightly pulled the handle . As a result, the whole bookcase slid away, exposing a narrow entrance . A sword in hand and an armor-breaking bolt in another hand, Zhang Tie carefully walked in that entrance . . .

There was a same narrow and dim passageway inside the entrance which only allowed one person in . It felt like that in the apartment left by Donder to him . On both sides of the passageway were the walls of the building . Hidden between those walls, this passageway was really secret .

The passageway was paved with a thick carpet . Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't make any sound as he walked on it . Green flourite lamps were hanging on the walls every several meters which made the whole passageway extremely gloomy .

Without encountering any attack, Zhang Tie walked dozens of meters and made two turns before entering a hidden room .

The area of this hidden room was less than twenty square meters . The moment Zhang Tie entered this hidden room, he had glanced at the statue on the sacrificial altar of the hidden room .

The major part of that status was a monster covered with crocodile-like scales with a unicorn on its head and a tail . In the middle of its forehead was a slim eye .

The monster was standing like a person while hugging a naked woman with miserable look; additionally, it entwined that woman tightly using its tail with its huge genital into the vagina of the woman .

This statue was pretty weird, evil, lascivious, and dark .

Staring at that statue, Zhang Tie was shocked both physically and mentally . He didn't understand its meaning, but the unicorn, the tail, and the three eyes indicated its status instantly — demon! Only evil demons looked like that!

A faint bloody smell drifted from the sacrificial altar under the statue . Smelling it, Zhang Tie then glanced at the shape of the altar and the brown stains on the altar; he instantly imagined how a live person was killed in the dark manner in front of that statue—

Zhen Clan truly colluded with demons!

Besides this sacrificial altar and this statue, there was a cabinet beside the altar . After glancing at that statue, Zhang Tie directly walked in front of the cabinet and opened it .

At the sight of the items in the cabinet, Zhang Tie's heart started to pound ferociously at once . . .
