Chapter 1559: The Chaos

Like that on the first floor of Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect, there were thousands of totems of bizarre beasts on the metal walls of the second floor of Dongtian in this floor of Dongtian, most of which could fly. Not until these totems started to move did everyone realize that they were not just useless metal sculptures; they were also terrifying puppet fighters in the shape of various fierce beasts that none of people could have imagined.

At this moment, the walls were simply like dens from where puppet beast-shaped fighters flapped their wings and constantly charged out before fighting those human knights who were bumping around aimlessly, causing casualties among humans at once.

All the puppet beasts were close to black iron human knights in battle strength. Besides enormous in quantity, they almost remained alive forever. Even if they were shattered, for the time being, their broken metal pieces would also converge and recover their original complete forms in a split second before continuing their fight with human knights. Such a scene was as same as that Zhang Tie encountered in the lobby of puppets in the bloody sacrifice hieron.

However, what the puppet lobby that he saw before to this scene was what a guerrilla to a corps.

In a split second, the space of the second floor of Dongtian covering hundreds of thousands of square miles had been filled with roars, miserable shrieks, exclamations of human knights and the sonic booms caused by beast-shaped puppet fighters as well as various metallic growls and colorful battle qis. When all these were interwoven with each other, it was as earth-shaking as the battlefield at Weishui River between humans and demons.

As puppet beasts couldn't release battle qi; therefore, they could only carry out close combat. Although human knights could release battle qis and realize distance strike, most of them couldn't fight incessantly. Whereas, puppet beasts could realize endless fight in their territory once they were triggered.

Especially at this moment when they found their route of the retreat was cut off and they were enclosed in this space, all the knights became flurried as they didn't mean to fight at all. Even though they outnumbered puppet beasts, most of the human knights were in small teams and couldn't coordinate with each other in such a short period. In this case, they could only barely draw a tie with puppet beasts. In addition, their space was constantly narrowed by puppet beasts. When puppet beasts were shattered one after another, some low-rank black iron knights were also torn into pieces.

After being shattered, puppet beasts could still recover their original looks; however, dead human knights couldn't revive.

In the distance, Celestial Swords and Celestial Clouddragon were still fighting fiercely the two boas. Even though they felt having vantage points in battle strength as heavenly knights, they couldn't hurt the two boas substantially as the latter appeared being resistant to all strikes even from heavenly knights; instead, they could only cause them to fly away or stagnate their movements. The two boas' battle strength was too terrifying that any one of them would far surpass shadow knights.

Watching the result of the fight between the two heavenly knights and the two boas, all the others stayed far away in fear of being involved in it.

Conversely, more and more knights gathered around Zhang Tie.

With the help of Celestial Woodbuilding, Bai Runshan and that barbarian shadow knight Serila, Zhang Tie's combination could easily shatter all the puppet beasts that approached them.

Watching their excellent performance, all the other aimless knights instinctively approached Zhang Tie's group.

Zhang Tie's reputation, personality and moral standing automatically attracted the surrounding knights like a piece of magnet in this case.

Although Celestial Swords revealed Zhang Tie's "secret" in the public out of malicious intention——Zhang Tie had almost lost his battle strenghth, his words had long been forgotten by those knights on Zhang Tie's side when they saw Zhang Tie's valiant performance.

Zhang Tie's performance was so valiant that he was simply more reassuring than the two heavenly knights. As light appeared in Zhang Tie's hand constantly, Zhang Tie released spears one after another like lightning bolts, shattering all the grim puppet fighters within 10,000 m who were rushing over here in a split second as if they were toys. None of the puppet beasts could resist Zhang Tie's strike. Of course, such a scene strengthened the courage and confidence of those human knights. A great number of knights were constantly gathering around Zhang Tie for the sake of protection.

Watching a pterosaur-shaped metal bird flashing over here from over 7,000 m away who was going to break through a black iron knight's back using its meters long sharp peak, Zhang Tie squinted his eyes as a spear appeared in his hand before shooting it out.

After detouring some human knights like a lightning bolt by drawing some arcs in the air, the spear penetrated through that puppet bird before it was about to peck through the knight's back, shattering it into pieces before falling off with a boom.

The black iron knight who survived such a sneak attack realized that he was saved by Zhang Tie. After throwing an appreciative glance at Zhang Tie, he instantly flew towards the latter.

Zhang Tie launched another strike as another lightning bolt flew off and shot into the big mouth of a flying snake over thousands of meters away. With a loud boom, the snake collapsed into pieces and fell off too...

"Quick, quick, gather around Immortal Qianji..." those knights near the dead snake exclaimed as they rushed to Zhang Tie's side...
