It's unclear when it started, but within a two-meter radius of Zhang Tie, not only the soldiers of the Sun God Dynasty, but even the soldiers of the Iron-Blood Battalion dared not approach.
The fierce fighting continued, and after the failed raid, soldiers from the Sun God Dynasty, who had charged out of Sorane in large numbers, continued to join the battle.
Zhang Tie was still fighting, and the battle between the two men with the most eye-catching Battle Qi Totem of a giant fire Giant Serpent Mercenary Corps and an ice-blue giant scorpion was still going on.
That was a collision between level eight Iron-Blood Battle Qi and level nine Sky Battle Qi. Compared to Zhang Tie, no one was willing to approach within a ten-meter radius of that collision zone. After each violent collision within that zone, a loud, excited, and tireless roar of anger from Reinhardt would resound.
On this battlefield, Reinhardt's roar completely drowned out the sounds of the others fighting.
"Again..."
"Again..."
"Again..."
The entire battlefield resounded with Battalion Commander Reinhardt's lion-like roar.
The Iron-Blood Battalion soldiers gained strength from this roar, while the soldiers of the Sun God Dynasty began to turn pale. At this point, it seemed that no explanation was needed; the Sun God Dynasty soldiers knew what kind of force they were facing. This force was more than twice as strong as the one they had annihilated the day before.
Most soldiers in ordinary units are Battle Soldier of level one to five, while the most ordinary soldiers in the Iron-Blood Battalion are veterans of level three or above. The difference is obvious.
Several more spears thrust forward simultaneously. Zhang Tie swept his greatsword out again, snapping several spears in two. Before the Sun God Dynasty soldiers, whose expressions had changed drastically, could retreat, Zhang Tie darted forward. His greatsword swept out once more, and the four Sun God Dynasty soldiers standing in front of Zhang Tie fell to the ground, blood spurting from their waists.
After countless swings of the greatsword, Zhang Tie's calm mind began to adjust Zhang Tie tactics. While cleaving an enemy in two was certainly satisfying, it required greater strength and involved breaking through more armor. Normally, given the size and sharpness of the greatsword's blade, a cut of 3.5 to 5 centimeters deep was enough to be fatal, because any cut made by a greatsword would be exceptionally long. Such a cut, anywhere on a person's upper body, whether horizontal or vertical, would be deadly.
You don't need to cut someone in two; just one-third to one-fifth of the force required to cut them in two is enough to kill an enemy.
After changing his tactics, Zhang Tie rarely encountered anyone who could be cut in two with a single strike anymore. However, Zhang Tie's combat efficiency and the speed at which he took down enemies increased, and he also conserved more of his physical strength.
Zhang Tie had never learned any swordsmanship, so he instinctively treated the giant sword as an extension of his own hand, wielding it to perform the moves known as " Sword Palm " in the Iron-Blood Divine Fist style of martial arts.
Besides being used for running, wolves can also use their stamina for fighting.
Perhaps it was a consequence of his sudden surge in mental power, but Zhang Tie Zhang Tie sensed that the movements of the Sun God Dynasty soldiers on the battlefield were not fast enough, not nimble enough, and somewhat sluggish. He could clearly see the trajectory of the soldiers' weapons, and he had enough time to react to their attacks—to block, counterattack, or jump away. Zhang Tie had never felt this way before, but for some reason, this feeling became much more pronounced after he went to the battlefield.
These soldiers were much faster and stronger than Gelis back then, and their attacks were more powerful and imposing. However, in Zhang Tie's mind, these soldiers did not have the same impact on him as Gelis had on the school playground.
Zhang Tie was unaware that, at this moment on the battlefield, besides Reinhardt, his performance was almost the most outstanding.
At a young age, with a handsome appearance, a massive sword, terrifying strength, ruthless and sharp combat skills, and his initial javelin technique that was as dazzling as a rainbow after the rain, all of these combined made it impossible for him not to attract attention.
After Zhang Tie killed another Black Spider that jumped in front of him and three ordinary soldiers, a tall figure appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
He was an officer of the Sun God Dynasty, over two meters tall, with a body as thick as an iron tower, and holding a huge spiked club almost as tall as himself. The rolling Centipede Beast Battle Qi Totem behind him proclaimed to everyone that he was a level seven Warrior.
The man was covered in blood, and the terrifying spiked club in his hand was almost entirely stained red, with bits and pieces of meat still clinging to it. These bits and pieces of meat were, without a doubt, not from the soldiers of the Sun God Dynasty.
In their first clash, devoid of any fancy moves, the greatsword met the spiked club, and both men grunted and staggered back two steps.
"You will be the 116th Norman Empire red-skinned dog I kill in this war. I like to skin you red-skinned dogs, bury you in the ground, and then smash your bald heads with my spiked club, just like I used to smash tomatoes in the field when I was a kid..." The terrifying giant said as he cruelly licked the blood off his terrifying spiked club.
"You want to compete with me in strength? You monster, a bear reincarnated! I am the true king of strength..." Zhang Tie roared angrily. "Then let's go! Let's see who can't hold their weapon first, and who's the real bear!"
Zhang Tie charged forward, swinging his greatsword at the terrifying giant's head. The giant grinned, roared, and swung his spiked club to clash with Zhang Tie's greatsword.
once...
twice...
three times...
Ten times
The deafening sound of the two heavy weapons clashing echoed throughout the entire arena...
This was the first time Zhang Tie had encountered someone on the battlefield with innate superhuman strength who could rival him. The Battle Qi this person cultivated seemed to greatly enhance his power. This was a truly formidable opponent.
After countless head-on collisions, Zhang Tie, pretending to be about to vomit blood, still gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat as he continued to clash with the giant.
Aside from strength, this terrifying giant's fighting skills were in no way inferior to Zhang Tie's. Seeing that Zhang Tie was already "out of control" but still trying his best, the expression on the Sun God Dynasty giant's face became even more ferocious.
Finally, when the towering giant's spiked club struck the greatsword again, he found that the sword received no resistance and was sent flying far away. The greatsword had already slipped from Zhang Tie's grasp the moment it came crashing down, as if it had been tossed to him. Seeing the greatsword flying towards him, the giant merely swung his club out of habit. Before he could even rejoice, Zhang Tie's Iron-Blood Divine Fist fists slammed into his lower back. As the giant knocked the sword away, the Iron-Blood Dark Force erupted instantly within him. Almost instantly, Zhang Tie unleashed over ten punches with this burst of Iron-Blood Dark Force.
The giant's face turned pale, and his hand went limp. The spiked club fell to the ground. Instantly, a mouthful of blood gushed from his throat like a high-pressure water pipe.
The giant man suddenly knelt on the ground, glaring angrily at Zhang Tie. The Iron-Blood Dark Force within him instantly made his eyes bloodshot, as red as a rabbit's. Blood trickled from the corner of the giant man's mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
"I know what you're trying to say, fine. I'll cheat, I'm a bear..." Zhang Tie said, but quickly pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist and plunged it into the giant's neck without hesitation. He even twisted it hard once.
The giant fell to the ground, eyes wide with resentment. Zhang Tie spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the giant, yelling, "Idiot! Such a simple trick to fool a puppy—I haven't used it in fights with my friends since I was seven..."
This was the first time Zhang Tie had encountered someone with such superhuman strength, whose physical power surpassed that of someone who had consumed nine Wild Wolf Seven-Power Fruit. However, this time, Zhang Tie proved a truth: those smarter than him were not as strong, and those stronger than him were not as smart. After "training" this giant to develop a habitual fighting style, Zhang Tie used a simple trick to defeat his most formidable opponent.
Sensing something arose within his body, Zhang Tie slightly shifted his body, dodging a spear thrusting from behind. With a swift movement, he snatched the spear from his grasp. The man trying to take advantage of the situation was thrown off balance by Zhang Tie Zhang Tie's attack, staggering towards him. Zhang Tie kicked out, unleashing a burst of internal energy, sending the man flying ten meters away. He then swept the spear again, knocking away another man. Finally, he hurled the spear, piercing through a man twenty meters away who was about to ambush Beckham from behind.
Then Zhang Tie picked up the super spiked club on the ground, which was about the same weight as his giant sword, and looked at the soldiers of the Sun God Dynasty around him. When those guys saw Zhang Tie charging towards them with the spiked club, their faces turned pale and they immediately turned and ran.
At this moment, the battle on Reinhardt's side was also decided. With Reinhardt's angry roar of "Die!", Zhang Tie turned his head and saw Reinhardt's iron fist break through the ice-blue Blood Scorpion's body defense and directly hit the man's head. The man's head and body turned into a colorful mess and exploded.
The morale of everyone in the Iron-Blood Battalion soared.
Seeing this, more soldiers from the Sun God Dynasty turned and ran, many not even knowing which way to go, as long as they got away from these killing gods of the Iron-Blood Battalion.
"Kill!" the Iron-Blood Battalion brothers shouted, and they gave chase.
Ten minutes later, the Sun God Dynasty's Radiant Feather Legion's organized resistance in Sorane collapsed, and all the Sun God Dynasty soldiers began to flee for their lives. The Iron-Blood Battalion, like chasing rabbits, spread out a net from south to north, pursuing and killing the Sun God Dynasty soldiers who were only concerned with escaping along the main road of Sorane.
Throughout the small mountain village, the screams of the Sun God Dynasty soldiers and the sounds of weapons slicing into necks echoed everywhere.
Led by Battalion Commander Reinhardt, a portion of the Iron-Blood Battalion completed a tactical breach into Sorane with speed even faster than the fleeing soldiers. After completing this breach, Battalion Commander Reinhardt led his troops back, and the Iron-Blood Battalion surrounded the entire Sorane.
"Kill them all! Avenge our brothers!" Reinhardt's cold command echoed throughout the small mountain village.
The entire Sorane was immediately filled with people...
