Chapter 1420: The Bloody Pledge of the Demon God

Sagus’ eyes turned completely red. Even his mask couldn’t cover his burning eyes and anger.
In the fight for honor, Zhang Tie won all the three rounds and killed 3 shadow demon knights above Weishui River in the public. Demon army had not experienced such a huge strike and frustration since they started this invasion.
Of course, this frustration was caused by Zhang Tie.
Even a shadow iron-armored demon knight in its 9 change realm, a reliable subordinate of Sagus had been beheaded by Zhang Tie. The only thing that Sagus wanted to do at this moment was to kill Zhang Tie at any price. The later it got, the harder it would be to kill him. Because Zhang Tie’s overall strength was strengthening day by day; additionally, Zhang Tie might not appear at battlefield any more from today on. If it let Zhang Tie go today, it would mean a great loss for all the demon knights.
Sagus’ mentality at this moment was like those gamblers who had lost their mind after losing many rounds in the gambling house.
“Do you want to continue? Now that you’re already able to kill our shadow knight in its 9 change realm who couldn’t even break your safety cover, I’ve got some heavenly knights for your choice. What about your condition…”
Sagus’ words, which were full of killing intent, could be heard by everyone at present. This time, Sagus put it straightforwardly without even civilities.
Zhang Tie didn’t speak; instead, he took out a colorful vial of medicament from his portable space-teleportation equipment and bottomed it up under the furious gaze of Sagus.
“I’ve already got space-teleportation equipment, silver secret items and rarities that demons could discover in the Earth-elements Realm, what else do you have that is worth my life?” Zhang Tie asked calmly.
“Even though you’ve got so many rewards, you could get more. Go ahead, what’s your condition?”
“I wanna know which heavenly demon knight tried to assassinate me outside Anxi City, Xinglin Prefecture, Military Province?”
Soon after Zhang Tie’s words, an over 4 m high heavenly wing-demon knight who was purple-gold all over with a longhorn in demon lord crown flew out as it gazed at Zhang Tie above the main nestle-shaped demon battlefortress while its magisterial qi rushed into the heavens.
“It’s me, Prince Antorier from the Department I of wing demons under the affiliation of abyss king who tried to assassinate you outside Anxi City!” That heavenly wing-demon knight watched Zhang Tie icily as it said in a pretty pretentious way, “Pitifully, you escaped away. I just killed your substitute. You should really take a look at how I shattered your substitute into foams, hahahaha! Do you want to avenge on your substitute? I’m here. It feels so bad that you escaped away last time, let me smash you here today…”
Antorier knew what Sagus was thinking about. Therefore, he started to stimulate Zhang Tie. Additionally, Antorier had already located Zhang Tie spiritually. Because all the heavenly demon knights had already received Sagus’ order just now. If Zhang Tie didn’t accept the challenge, demon knights would launch an all-out assault. In the coming dogfight, they had to kill Zhang Tie; they could never let that human knight who had killed three shadow demon knights become a hero among humans.
If Zhang Tie agreed, Antorier would kill Him in the coming fight for honor; if Zhang Tie didn’t agree, Antorier would also kill him in the dogfight among human knights and demon knights——heavenly wing demon knights excelled at flight. As long as Antorier kept its eyes on Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie could never escape today.
After Zhang Tie won the third round, another large-scale battle between human and demon knights had been brewing above Weishui River.
On the side of Xuanyuan Fortress, Zuoqiu Mingyue had already issued an order to his heavenly knights and shadow knights to be ready for the coming large-scale battle through secret means.
“As long as the large-scale battle breaks out, save Zhang Tie and cover him so that he could evacuate from the battlefield. As long as Zhang Tie could survive today, demons would not take too much advantage today, and we would be the final winner…”
“Is it necessary for us to have over 100,000 human knights of Taixia Country fight demon knights only to save one human knight?” Ning Taisheng asked as his eyes sparkled.
After hearing Ning Taisheng’s words, Zuoqiu Mingyue was driven mad as he pointed at Ning Taisheng with shiny eyes and said icily, “If I heard similar words again from you, I will behead you here in the crime of vilifying general. Even if you escaped to the imperial palace, I could also bring your head out of there. Do you want a try?”
Ning Taisheng changed his face abruptly as he had not imagined that Zuoqiu Mingyue who used to treat him politely could be so merciless at this moment.
Ning Taisheng didn’t know that his words had already touched the commander-in-chief’s bottomline. Zuoqiu Mingyue would never be hesitant on this issue, neither would he care about Ning Taisheng’s identity as the the employed elder of imperial households.
When Zuoqiu Mingyue spoke to Ning Taisheng, he had already isolated the region where those heavenly human knights were using his battle qi. Therefore, only some heavenly knights on his side could hear the dialogue between the two people.
“Zhang Tie is fighting for the country. Without his efforts, demons would also fight us. If we want to drive demons out of Taixia Country, we should also carry out an all-out battle with demons. How could you say that we are fighting demons only for Zhang Tie? If Zhang Tie was killed and we stayed still today, the morale of over 100,000 human knights of Xuanyuan Fortress would wane. Taixia Country would lose the war for sure. Elder Ning, what you said just now is really improper…” A heavenly knight on Zuoqiu Mingyue remined Ning Taisheng.
Seeing that all the surrounding heavenly human knights were watching him unsatisfactorily, Ning Taisheng’s face turned gloomy. He remained silent and watched Zhang Tie in the center of the battlefield without emotion.
However, it appeared that Zhang Tie had already made his decision.
“Fine, I agree to start a fight for honor with Antorier!” Zhang Tie’s words drifted across the battlefield, “However, I don’t need your rarities this time. I have another condition.”
“Go ahead!” Sagus replied with an amazement.
“If you want me to agree with you, you have to make a bloody pledge of the demon god. Demon army have to retreat 300 miles after this battle, allowing over 200 million Hua civilians to return to Taixia Country safe and sound…”
“Hahaha, anything more?” Sagus burst out into laughter. The lives of over 200 million Hua civilians couldn’t even match a space-teleportation equipment in its eyes. Sagus felt that Zhang Tie must be foolish or insane. It thought such a condition was extremely preposterous for a powerful human knight.
“One more. If I defeat Antorier, I hope demon army not to force Taixia civilians to die for demons in any corner and nook of Taixia Country. Even in the holy war, each party should have its own bottomline and rules to comply with. If I lose the battle, the second condition would be ineffective…”
Sagus felt like listening to something unlikely just as all the other demon knights. A human knight wanted to make a rule for the demon army? That’s ridiculous!
“Are you making a rule for the demon army?”
“Yes, I’m making a rule for the demon army at the cost of my life, do you dare to accept?” Zhang Tie put it straightforwardly.
“What if I disagree?” Sagus said icily.
Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile, “I know you’ve already had Antorier keep its eyes on me. You could try whether I have other secret sauces or could survive this battlefield. If you disagree, I swear to intrude your territory and pay back you with 10 times more what you’ve done to Taixia civilians after I leave out of here. If you kill 200 million civilians here today, I will slaughter 2 billion demon civilians in your territory one day…”
Pay back demons with 10 times more what they had done to Taixia civilians? All the human and demon knights on both banks of the Weishui River were shocked by Zhang Tie’s heroic promise.
Sagus kept its eyes on Zhang Tie. Nobody else knew what it was scheming at this moment. The battlefield recovered its silence for 2 mintues.
Zhang Tie just waited for Sagus’ reply, standing arrogantly at the battlefield.
“Okay, I agree!” Sagus replied. Closely after that, Sagus took off its gloves as it cut a wound on its palm using its fingernail, sending some blood flying in the air in front of Sagus. The blood gave out a weird glow, forming a rune in the shape of a strange devil face. “I, Sagus makes my pledge of honor in the name of the demon god and my bloodline. In the following fight for honor, if Zhang Tie the human knight of Taixia Country undergoes a fight for honor with Antorier face-to-face, as Zhang Tie has said, I will comply with the agreement between him and I; If I violate this agreement, the demon god will deprive all of my glory, having my chakras collapse in the void along with my life…”
After making this bloody pledge, the strange rune composed of blood turned brighter abruptly, covering Sagus and finally entering Sagus’ body…
