A month later, at the entrance to a certain hall on the lower level of the Realm of Light within Incomplete Mountain...
Boom... Amid the thunderous crash of Battle Qi bombardment, the already damaged and lusterless doors at the hall entrance shattered in an instant, exploding into hundreds and thousands of fragments. Faster than those flying shards, however, was Zhang Tie's sprinting form. Mixed among the debris, he spat blood as he smashed through the doors with his back and burst out of the hall.
A blood-red Gods' War Puppet pursued Zhang Tie without letting up. Holding a spear in its hand, it hurled the weapon at him the instant Zhang Tie flew out through the hall entrance.
Like a trail of fire streaking through the sky, the spear shot toward Zhang Tie's chest like lightning...
Seeing the spear streak toward him, Zhang Tie twisted sideways, and it skimmed past his chest. Yet just as half the spear shaft passed him, Zhang Tie suddenly thrust out both hands and seized it at two points along its middle. In an instant, his entire body seemed to hang from the spear. Then he spun one hundred and eighty degrees, turning the spear along with him. With an angry roar from Zhang Tie, the incoming spear borrowed force to return force, changing direction with uncanny precision and shooting back at the Gods' War Puppet. Its power was several times greater than before, and it punched straight through the puppet's chest, nailing it to the wall beside the hall entrance.
"Trying to play Flying Spear with your grandpa? You're still too green. Pah..." Even as he sprinted away, Zhang Tie spat at the Gods' War Puppet he had pinned to the wall, his contempt and provocation taken to the extreme.
