Chapter 172: Duel with Tie Kuangtu (Part 1)

A calm night passed, and in order not to alert the enemy,

neither Duan Fengyun's side nor Huaikong's side appeared outside; they both chose to wait silently in the inns for the arrival of night.

As the group waited anxiously, time finally crawled toward dusk.

At this moment, inside Tie Kuangtu's lair, a weary-looking Tie Kuangtu walked out.

Because he was wearing the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor and could not lie down to sleep, he could only rest by leaning in a corner; over time, his entire mental state had become increasingly poor.

And as his mental state worsened, he himself became increasingly twisted.

He decided that if Kongyun could not unlock his armor, he would first send Kongyun to the Yellow Springs to wait for him.

He was completely unaware that a powerful opponent and murderous intent were already waiting for him ahead.

Tie Kuangtu walked unscrupulously to Kongyun Suodian and, looking at Kongyun who was still wearing the iron head mask, said:

"Kongyun, you are truly incompetent; you can't even unlock a tiny iron head mask, you are truly a piece of trash.

Since you are such trash, this old man will send you down to reunite with your ancestors; this time, remember to learn a few more skills from your ancestors."

Just as Tie Kuangtu raised his right hand, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Kongyun, Kongyun's disciple spoke up.

"I can unlock my master's iron head mask!"

"You? Your master can't even unlock it, and you, a mere greenhorn, can?"

Tie Kuangtu mocked.

He did not believe that this greenhorn, not even twenty years old, could unlock his interlocking locks.

"Since you don't believe it, then I will unlock it for you to see."

Kongyun's disciple declared.

"Come, try as fast as you can; if you can't unlock it, I will send both of you master and disciple to the Western Heaven."

Tie Kuangtu looked skeptical, but he still stepped aside; he wanted to see how this greenhorn would unlock his interlocking locks.

Kongyun's disciple walked slowly behind Kongyun, then raised both hands, True Qi surging within them, and after a series of gestures, the interlocking locks Tie Kuangtu had placed on the iron head mask were undone.

Without the interlocking locks, the iron head mask was easily removed by Kongyun.

Tie Kuangtu was completely stunned; he stood rooted to the spot, stammering:

"How is it possible? How could you, a greenhorn, possibly unlock my interlocking locks?

No, someone must have taught you!

Speak quickly, where is the person who taught you to unlock my interlocking locks?"

Kongyun's disciple nodded and said:

"Yes, there is indeed an expert who taught me how to unlock these interlocking locks.

The expert also instructed me that if you asked, I should tell you to go to the Yuelai Inn ahead to find him; he is waiting for you in the Heaven-grade room of the inn."

"Yuelai Inn!

Heaven-grade room!"

Tie Kuangtu muttered to himself.

He then turned and walked out of Kongyun Suodian; his purpose in coming here was to find someone who could unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, and if someone could unlock his armor, he would be overjoyed.

He had no heart left to tangle with the master and disciple of Kongyun, so he headed straight for the Yuelai Inn.

What the anxious Tie Kuangtu did not know was that ahead lay a hell already designed specifically for him.

In the Pengke Kezhan opposite the Yuelai Inn, the four of Duan Fengyun sat at a table, leisurely drinking tea.

Long Er was secretly observing the surroundings of the inn through the window.

Seeing Tie Kuangtu rushing toward this side from afar, he shouted to the four of Duan Fengyun:

"Dad, Uncle Shuang, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yun, that iron-armored spider-man Tie Kuangtu is here."

"Oh, is that so?"

Duan Fengyun continued to drink the tea in his hand leisurely.

He was not in a hurry, and neither were Nie Feng and the others, because the protagonists of this battlefield tonight were not them; they only needed to observe from the shadows.

Long Er nodded obediently and continued to watch Tie Kuangtu's movements.

Tie Kuangtu strode into the Yuelai Inn; when the people in the inn saw the murderous Tie Kuangtu and thought of the recently notorious iron-armored man in the Jianghu, everyone scattered like mice seeing a cat.

Tie Kuangtu grabbed the waiter who was trying to escape and asked:

"Speak quickly, where is the Heaven-grade room?

And where is the person staying inside?"

The waiter, scared out of his wits, stammered in reply:

"The Heaven-grade room is at the end of the hallway on the right upstairs; the person staying inside has been in there and hasn't come out."

After confirming that the person in the Heaven-grade room had not left, Tie Kuangtu released the waiter and headed straight upstairs.

As he was about to reach the Heaven-grade room, Tie Kuangtu deliberately straightened his back.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Tie Kuangtu knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside the room.

Tie Kuangtu became a bit angry, thinking that the waiter had deceived him.

Just as he turned to pursue and kill the waiter who had deceived him, a deep, masculine voice finally came from inside the room.

"Since you have come, Excellency, why are you in such a hurry to leave?

If you wish to enter, just push the door and come in yourself."

Hearing someone speak, Tie Kuangtu instantly smiled.

He completely failed to realize that this deep voice was one he was extremely familiar with.

Full of anticipation, Tie Kuangtu pushed open the door, and inside the room, Bai Ling and Shenmu Luoxian were sitting on opposite sides of the table.

The two brothers, Huaikong and Huaimie, sat upright at the head of the table, their eyes fixed directly on Tie Kuangtu.

"It's you!"

Tie Kuangtu said in disbelief.

Only then did he realize that the deep, powerful voice that had sounded so familiar just now was none other than Huaikong's voice.

Preoccupied with the need to unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, he had failed to notice anything else, his mind entirely focused on the fact that someone in the room could unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor.

Huaikong smiled and said:

"Of course it's us. Under the heavens, besides us, who else could unlock your Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor!"

Tie Kuangtu stared at Huaikong; he did not believe that Huaikong would be so benevolent as to help him unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, nor did he believe that Huaikong would have a way to unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor when even he himself could not.

He asked tentatively:

"Do you truly have a way to unlock my Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor?"

Following this, he muttered to himself in contradiction:

"I don't believe it. I don't believe that with your ability, you can unlock my Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor."

It seemed that the mental exhaustion of this period had already caused Tie Kuangtu to fall into a state of obsession.

Huaikong teased:

"Didn't I already tell you the method to unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor long ago?

As long as you die, the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor will be unlocked."

Upon hearing this, Tie Kuangtu thought Huaikong was toying with him, and he said in a fit of shame and anger:

"Are you playing with me?"

Huaikong smiled, then stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and said angrily:

"I said, the way to unlock the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor is for you to die.

Today, I will send you to the Western Heaven and help you unlock this turtle shell of yours.

Tie Kuangtu, the life you owe my master must be repaid today!

Tie Kuangtu, return my master's life!"

After speaking, Huaikong pushed the table directly toward Tie Kuangtu, and Tie Kuangtu kicked the table away.

He laughed:

"You think you can kill me? Keep dreaming."

After saying this, Tie Kuangtu retreated directly and flew out.

He was not trying to escape; it was just that the inn was too cramped, and the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor could not be fully utilized.

"Tie Kuangtu, don't run."

The four of them, led by Huaikong, followed closely behind.

"Dad, Uncle Shuang, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yun, that iron-armored spider-man flew away, and Uncle Huaikong and the others are chasing after him."

At this moment, Long Er, who was observing from the shadows, saw the situation across the way and immediately spoke to Duan Fengyun and the others.

Duan Fengyun stood up and said:

"Let's go. The battle has already begun, let's follow them too.

Let's see if Huaikong can defeat Tie Kuangtu after mastering the Iron-Refining Hand."

Duan Fengyun grabbed Long Er with one hand, and the four of them quietly followed closely behind.

Arriving at an open, flat piece of land, Tie Kuangtu stopped.

He intended to finish off the Huai brothers right here today.

Huaikong and the others also followed Tie Kuangtu to this flat land.

Duan Fengyun and his group, who arrived later, hid secretly on a pile of rocks at the edge of the plain.

Tie Kuangtu laughed arrogantly:

"Huaikong, Huaimie, today I will send you down to see the Tieshen you have been longing for."

He then fixed his eyes on Shenmu Luoxian.

Shenmu Luoxian waved her hand and said:

"Tie Kuangtu, rest assured, your opponents today are Huaikong and Huaimie.

I will not intervene."

Having received the guarantee from Shenmu, Tie Kuangtu felt much more at ease; he did not care about Huaikong and Huaimie, but he was afraid that Shenmu on the sidelines would suddenly attack.
