Before Zhang Tie even reached Black Armor Battle Fortress, he encountered a knight patrol from the Black Armor Army outside the fortress.
Over the past two months, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian, that male-and-female pair of Baleful Intents, had risen to fame within Black Armor Battle Fortress. Thus, even those Black Armor Army knights guarding the fortress who had never met Zhang Tie in person had heard of him. In particular, Zhang Tie's bald head and iron-tower-like burly build after disguising himself as Cui Li were practically his unmistakable trademark within Black Armor Battle Fortress.
The knight patrol flew over from afar. When they clearly saw Zhang Tie and the Shadow Demon corpse slung across his back, the three Black Armor Army knights were instantly startled.
One knight could not help crying out, "That's the Shadow Demon Earth Knight!"
"Hehehe, ran into some Black Armor Army brothers again. Old Cui got lucky this time. I went out for a few days and happened to run into this fellow trying to ambush me. After a fierce battle, I luckily managed to kill this Shadow Demon!" Zhang Tie laughed heartily.
The three Black Armor Army knights did not believe a word about luck. This was an Earth Knight—who could kill an Earth Knight by luck? And this Earth Knight was no ordinary Devil Race member, but a Shadow Demon. Everyone in the world knew how troublesome Shadow Demons were.
Since the Battle of Iron Enclosure Mountain began, very few Earth Knights of the Devil Race had been slain by humans in the outer regions of Iron Enclosure Mountain. The human side had also suffered losses, though not many. Killing an Earth Knight was an extraordinary feat. Among humans, Earth Knights were already high-ranking officials on the level of Great Xia provincial governors
