Castle of Black Iron
Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1826: Burning

With over 100 needles over his body, Zhang Tie was like a hedgehog. However, it was not over yet. After doing that, Bian Heng started to brush over those needles like playing zither.

Those long needles seemed to be strings. Each of them was corresponding to a surging point or some meridian or an organ. When Bian Heng brushed over them, he would pass a special energy and battle qi to Zhang Tie’s body through the long needles, causing the latter’s surging points and meridians all over restless at once.

In Zhang Tie’s eyes, Bian Heng was just brushing over the needles disorderly. At first glance, he was just like an innocent kid who didn’t know how to play the piano casually. However, Zhang Tie felt his body, surging points and meridians were completely opened by Bian Heng’s long needles like a safe being input code.

With Bian Heng’s control, the strong heat from the fire-dragon qi-gathering pill started to travel across Zhang Tie’s meridians and surging points in a marvelous order before gathering in Zhang Tie’s qi sea repetitively…

The wisp of battle qi that Bian Heng injected into Zhang Tie’s body appeared to be the battle qi of Aimei and Aixue which was especially used to nourish others’ water and wood attributes; however, it was absolutely more advanced than the battle qi cultivated by Aimei and Aixue. After entering Zhang Tie’s body, the battle qi could nourish and smoothen one’s qi instead of destroying one’s qi.

Only after half an hour, Bian Heng had oozed fine sweat, given which, Zhang Tie realized the medical treatment of the disease caused by Versatile Demon Emperor was not as easy as Bian Heng had said.

Zhang Tie was really shocked by Bian Heng’s medical skill. Zhang Tie could only describe Bian Heng’s secret method of heavens-fixing immortal needles as extremely skillful! Perhaps, this term was improper, it was Zhang Tie’s true feeling at this moment.

In the circulation of that heat, Zhang Tie’s qi sea almost caught fire as his surging points and meridians all over started to boil. Lying on the stone bed, Zhang Tie was steaming through his red skin like a red sweet tomato whose skin was peeled off. The temperature in the cultivation backroom also rose a few degrees due to the rise of Zhang Tie’s body temperature. There seemed to be a furnace in the room.

The pain caused by internal combustion was too tortured. However, Zhang Tie just gritted his teeth and withstood it. Such a scorching feeling came from inside. Therefore, even though Zhang Tie had eaten so many fiery-lotus roots and was very resistant to fire and high temperature, it was still useless; because the fire came from Zhang Tie himself which burned internally. It was a sharp response of his battle qi to external stimulation; instead of being imposed externally.

Zhang Tie really felt like being burned as his surging points, meridians, blood, bones, battle qi even spiritual energy started to be restless under that special high temperature. Even those long needles on his body slowly turned hot and red…

Just now, Zhang Tie was talking to Bian Heng. At this moment, Zhang Tie could only withstand it at his full efforts. He even felt being burned into ashes in the next second.

After a few hours, Bian Heng suddenly thrust his hands in the air as over 100 long needles flew out of Zhang Tie’s body at the same time before being caught by Bian Heng.

“Hurry, jump into the sea and stay inside. Only water could help you dissipate the heat. If you keep burning up in this way, there must be some problem with your mind sea and brain…” After saying that, Bian Heng wiped off the sweat drops on his forehead before adding, “Don’t tell me that you cannot swim…”

At this moment, Zhang Tie felt that even the qi that he exhaled was going to burn; additionally, he started to feel dizzy. Zhang Tie didn’t care whether the last sentence of Bian Heng was just a joke or not, soon after Bian Heng’s words, Zhang Tie had sprung up from the bed as he strode out of the door of the cultivation backroom by one step. with the second step, Zhang Tie had jumped onto the roof; with the third step, Zhang Tie landed on the sand beach dozens of meters away; then, he sped up and rushed into the ocean, causing a white billow higher than 10 m, leaving shadows on the sand beach.

Zhang Tie was the king of ocean. It was not Zhang Tie’s first time to jump into the ocean; however, he had never felt that icy seawater could be so comfortable.

Zhang Tie instantly swam thousands of meters forth the moment he entered the ocean. Closely after that, he reached dozens of meters deep so as to cool himself down.

It was as effective as using ice water to dissipated heat for a patient. Zhang Tie felt a bit cold and comfortable the moment he reached that depth as he gradually became sober-minded.

Although being in the water, Zhang Tie was like a hot and red soldering iron, causing bubbles and vapor near him…

At this moment, Bian Heng flashed over here. The seawater of Whitedragon Gulf was transparent; especially being close to the seashore. Even though Zhang Tie stayed dozens of meters deep in the water, he could also see blue sky, white clouds and Bian Heng. Meanwhile, Bian Heng could also see Zhang Tie who was staying in the water comfortably. He could even see clearly the fine sands and seaweeds below Zhang Tie and those swimming fish around Zhang Tie.

Watching Zhang Tie staying there so leisurely, Bian Heng finally became reassured. Although it was almost impossible for Zhang Tie to not able to swim, Bian Heng was afraid that Zhang Tie was not good at swimming and directly lost his consciousness due to scorching heat. If Zhang Tie was drowned here, it would be a laughingstock and harm Bian Heng’s reputation.

“Hoho, you’re really good at swimming. That’s great!” Bian Heng spoke to Zhang Tie using his battle qi.

“I feel freer in water than on bank…” Zhang Tie replied secretly too. At the same time, Zhang Tie started to sit in water, legs crossed, revealing his superb swimming skill.

“Just stay in the water for a few more hours then. The heat won’t completely dissipate until the sunrise. Therefore, you have to stay in seawater in this period of time.

“Okay!”

“You could swim away from Emperor NvWa City through Whitedragon Gulf. You’d better not swim too far away though. Now that Versatile Demon Emperor wants to kill you, he will not give up. He couldn’t enter Emperor NvWa City. With the territory of Tigerback Mountain, I could protect you; but if you swim out of my territory, it would be hard to say…”

“Thanks for your concern, senior, I will take care of myself…”

“Humph…” Bian Heng replied with a cold harrumph, “I just feel you’re something as you could withstand so many needles without a cry. It would be pitiful if you die. Additionally, if you die here, you will ruin my reputation. Therefore, I warned you about that. When I cure your disease, if you really want to seek death, it’s none of my business…”

After saying these words, Bian Heng flashed away, leaving Zhang Tie at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing Bian Heng off, Zhang Tie revealed a smile at the bottom of the sea as he knew Bian Heng was kind-hearted despite being ruthless superficially. If it was the first time for Bian Heng to meet Zhang Tie, he would never say that…
