No one could have imagined that Zhang Tie's very first strike would break through the Devil Race knight's attack and drive the dagger in his hand straight into the Devil Race knight's body.
The Devil Race knight fighting Zhang Tie had not expected it.

Even Zhang Tie himself had not expected it.
For whether it was Zhang Tie breaking through the Devil Race knight's blade qi, the speed that followed, or even the sharpness of the dagger in his hand, all of it had exceeded everyone's expectations.
Without the formidable Gold-Eating Triangular Dagger, without the sensitivity to airflow and pressure honed over long periods beneath the water and in the sky, without being able to turn that sensitivity into his own advantage through exceptional technique and insight, and without that Devil Race knight happening to launch a long-range attack at him just as he charged over...
