The powerful blow of the Phantom Nine Transformations Ironclad Devil Knight came crashing through the air. The fire-element ring among the Five Elements Rings spinning around Zhang Tie like dancing flames blocked it like a shield, dissipating more than half of the Phantom Nine Transformations Knight's attack.
This attack from the Ironclad Devil Knight carried a powerful, razor-sharp aura. Sharpness belonged to metal, and fire overcame metal, so the one that met the Ironclad Devil Knight's attack was the fire ring among the Five Elements Rings.

At the same time, the green wood ring spun rapidly, using wood to generate fire and stabilizing the fire ring. The water ring then injected a powerful force into the wood ring, replenishing the energy it had expended. At the same time, the water ring received replenishment from the metal ring. By the time that razor-sharp aura and energy had passed through the interlocking chain of rings to the metal ring, it had been completely dissipated. Not only dissipated—the metal ring even seemed to grow slightly stronger, thoroughly absorbing the energy passed along from before and completing one defensive cycle of the Five Elements Rings...
