I can find treasures in my dreams.

In the past, Yang Fan would have interpreted the Guardian's words literally, believing that among the demons invading the Iron Fist Civilization, one demon had been fortunate enough to break through the bottleneck and become a powerful knight.

Now that Yang Fan has obtained the Holy Son's memories, he is all too familiar with the various tricks of the Green Sheep Demon Clan.

Within the world cluster to which the Iron Fist Civilization belongs, and even in a larger world domain, there is no one who understands demons better than him.

Yang Fan glanced at the guardian a hundred meters away and said with absolute certainty, "What you are seeing must be an illusion shown to you by the demons. There are most likely more than three demon knights appearing in the Iron Fist world."

He paused, then emphasized, "You and the other guardian are both in danger."

The guardian's metallic pupils contracted sharply, revealing a glimpse into the knight's inner emotions: "No wonder I've been feeling uneasy these past few days."

No knight is a fool. The Guardians had already been suspicious, but now that Yang Fan had pointed this out, they were even more convinced of their judgment.

Yang Fan added a reminder: "If you two guardians go to wipe out the demon knights, then the hidden demon knights will take the opportunity to seize the world gate that you are guarding."

"In the words of the Azure people, this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. At that time, the gatekeeper of the demons will definitely open the gate to the world, and the demon army will swarm into the Iron Fist world. The Iron Fist people will face a huge disaster."

The guardian recited "luring the tiger away from the mountain" once, and felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

His intuition told him that what Azure Ghost said was most likely true.

The demons' treachery and cunning far exceeded his imagination.

The knight gave a salute and said earnestly, "Thank you very much for your reminder! This suggestion saved the Iron Fist civilization."

If the Gate of the World were truly taken over by demons, the knight could hardly believe the immense tragedy that would befall the Ironfist civilization.

It's safe to say that the chances of the Tekken world continuing to exist are no more than 5%.

Yang Fan then answered the other party's previous request: "The Azure Civilization is willing to help the Iron Fist Civilization seal the two Yang Flame Spears. I can also send out a clone to help the nobles deal with the demon knights."

In his eyes, the demon knight was just a True Source Value with legs, so how could he miss it now that he had encountered it?
The guardian was taken aback: "You've mastered the secret technique of soul splitting?"

For any civilization, it is extremely rare for a knight to possess the secret technique of soul splitting.

You might not find even one among a hundred powerful knights, and these knights are all members of powerful civilized worlds, with strength at least at a high level.

The guardians never expected that, in just over five years since the Azure Civilization descended, Azure You had already mastered this ability.

Yang Fan nodded and added, "I also know a secret technique that specifically counters demons, which should be of help."

The guardian immediately promised the reward: "For sealing two Yangyan Spears, Iron Fist Civilization is willing to pay ten kinds of level-three exotic materials as a reward."

"If you help the Ironfist Civilization defeat the Demon Knight, the Ironfist people will pay at least ten Level 3 Exotic Materials and at most twenty Level 3 Exotic Materials."

The latter compensation adopts a floating mechanism, which clearly has a bit of a "performance evaluation" feel to it. If the help is very significant, twenty types will be paid; if the help is relatively minor, ten types will be paid.

To this day, the highest-grade exotic material that Iron Fist Civilization has obtained is only level three. Their willingness to give so much can be considered quite sincere.

Yang Fan agreed to the plan: "It's a deal!"

With a thought, he took out an intelligent incubation pod from the spirit beast space right in front of the guardian.

"Crack!"

The hatch opened automatically.

Another Yang Fan sat up from inside.

This was not a clone created by the Supreme Treasure Doll, but rather an experimental clone he created by drawing on the blood sacrifice techniques of demons.

In other words, first quickly create a body, then use a treasure to separate a fragment of the soul and fuse it with the life imprint in the body, thus obtaining an avatar.

This is also the traditional way that various civilizations create clones.

Having witnessed this scene firsthand, the Guardian's opinion of the Azure Ghost and the Azure Civilization quietly rose a notch.

However, the clone's strength was only at the level of a mid-level warrior, which filled the guardian with doubt.

With such weak strength, I could crush it with a single finger. Could it really be enough to deal with the demon knight?
However, the Guardian did not say it aloud, but simply nodded to the clone: ​​"Mr. Ghost, thank you for staying in the Ironfist Civilization for a while."

after one day.

The guardian felt like he had been slapped in the face.

Inside an underground cave complex in the world of Tekken.

The temperature here is extremely high, estimated to be over 50 degrees Celsius, and the air carries a strong smell of sulfur.

This is because there is a large volcanic cluster nearby, and a lava river flows through it, which makes the environment so harsh.

Even Iron Fist Man would find it difficult to survive in such an environment.

Therefore, the nearest Ironfist dungeon is more than 300 kilometers away.

The guardian quickly explained the situation: "A group of warriors from the Moda clan were searching for demons in the vicinity ten days ago when they unexpectedly discovered a group of clansmen who had been sacrificed here."

"The Morda clan immediately dispatched a battle group to seal off the cave complex, intending to completely annihilate the demons inside, but the entire battle group was wiped out."

"Before they died, several warriors used the communication helmets of your Azure Civilization to shout 'Demon Knight,' and that's how we learned that a Demon Knight was hiding here."

"The other guardian, 'Qiai,' swiftly assembled thirty elite legions and several powerful treasures to deal with the demon knights."

"But Qi'ai did not find the demon knight in the cave. We tried many tracking methods, but we still could not find out where the demon knight went."

The Iron Fist warriors around them were all wearing their tribe's traditional "tin can" armor.

But compared to before, there has been a very obvious change.

A very faint buzzing sound emanated from each of the "tin cans".

This is the sound of a miniature compressor running.

The compressor is the core component of an air conditioner.

In previous trades between civilizations, the Iron Fist Clan purchased customized miniature air conditioners from the Great Xia Dynasty, with quantities measured in "hundreds of millions," and distributed them to various clans.

This customized miniature air conditioner has an "indoor unit" that is a disc, which can be installed inside the armor on the chest or back.

The cool air blowing out keeps the inside of the armor cool, greatly improving comfort.

The miniature "external unit," including the compressor, can be placed in other parts of the armor, such as the waist or the hindquarters.

As for the power source, it is a supercrystal battery with a battery life of over 24 hours.

For Iron Fist Man, one mission is enough. If the mission is longer, he can bring several supercrystal batteries for replacement.

Although Iron Fist is very heat-resistant, who likes to wear a stuffy and hot suit of armor for a long time?

Therefore, this thing was extremely popular with the Ironfist people. Later, the Ironfist Civilization placed several more orders, and the total number has long exceeded one billion sets.

According to Canglan's estimates, with the continued development of trade, it is only a matter of time before the number of orders exceeds 10 billion sets.

Even if the Guardians want to reduce orders, they will probably have to consider the opinions of the vast majority of Ironfist players.

at this time.

Yang Fan surveyed the dimly lit cave, a clear cross mark flashing in his pupils.

This scene was witnessed by the guardian.

The knight keenly sensed that this seemed to be a power of an extremely high level.

He simply couldn't understand how Azure Ghost, who had only been a knight for a few years, could master so many powerful secret techniques.

Looking at himself, he had cultivated for decades, but the number of secret techniques he had mastered was far less than that of Azure Ghost.

One second later.

The cross in Yang Fan's pupils disappeared, and he said, "I sensed the aura of four demon knights."

The guardian paused for a moment, a hint of surprise in his heart.

How can there be so many?!
Although the Ironfist Clan cannot track the Demon Knights, they have a way of identifying the remaining supernatural power.

The guardian Qi Ai personally searched every corner of the cave, but only found traces of a demon knight.

Yang Fan didn't explain much, but simply took a few steps forward and reached out to make a grabbing motion.

A strange sight immediately appeared.

Many dim points of light appeared out of thin air.

The guardian's eyes flickered, a hint of surprise flashing within them.

He could tell at a glance that Azure Ghost had manifested the residual supernatural power through some means.

For a knight of such strength, achieving this wouldn't be too difficult. The problem is, the Azure Ghost only sent a clone at the mid-level warrior level, which is quite remarkable.

A breath passed.

A patch of light began to wriggle, quickly forming a blurry pattern.

It can be roughly identified that this is a battle scene.

A monster with a pair of curved horns on its head extended a sharp claw and pierced the chest of a metal can.

The tin can's head was raised with all its might, and it held a heavy battle axe in its right hand, wanting to slash at the monster.

But the monster merely moved its claws, and the Iron Can's right arm seemed to be cut by a sharp weapon, instantly detaching from its body, and the battle axe fell to the ground.

The monster retracted its claws, revealing a beating heart on one of them.

It placed its heart near its mouth and took a big bite.

At this moment, Tin Can was lying on the ground, not yet dead. He struggled to reach for the battle axe, seemingly wanting to continue fighting.

The monster's body twitched slightly, and a tail as long as a whip lashed out.

The spikes at the tip of its tail, shaped like daggers, stabbed the tin can hundreds of times at an extremely fast speed.

Each thrust easily pierced the armor, and a spurt of blood would spurt out after the spike was pulled out.

There is no doubt that the monster was not in a hurry to kill the tin can; it was doing so to deliberately torture its prey.

The group of Iron Fist fighters watched with immense anger, many of them grinding their teeth.

The guardian, however, calmly observed this scene.

The monster tormented the tin can for several seconds before swinging its tail and piercing his skull with spikes, finally killing its prey.

This is the end.

The dim light dissipated.

Yang Fan then spoke up, "This is the place with the strongest aura, so I traced it back to the battle seven days ago."

The guardian nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, the knight was now basically convinced of the truth of the matter.

He hadn't specified the exact date of the battle, but Azure Ghost blurted it out.

The Guardian turned to look at the Ironfist behind him and asked, "Can anyone tell me who the slain warrior was?"

Immediately, a warrior provided the answer: "Your Excellency, the warrior who was killed should be the twelfth elder of the Moda clan, whose strength reached the level of a high-ranking warrior. I remember the style of this elder's armor."

The guardian's gaze flickered again.

This is even stronger evidence.

Because the Azure Ghost could not have met the Twelfth Elder.

Even the Guardian Qiai hadn't traced it back to this extent; this Azure Ghost is indeed formidable.

A commotion immediately broke out among the other Iron Fist fighters.

Even a fool could see that if high-level warriors were killed without any resistance, the monster must be the terrifying Demon Knight.

The guardian then looked at Yang Fan, his tone now more respectful: "Mr. Ghost, could you please trace back to the other demon knights?"

The knight had completely believed Yang Fan's words and accepted the conclusion that "four demon knights had appeared here."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "No problem."

Two minutes later.

Inside another cave.

Large patches of dried blood remained on the ground. Yang Fan used the power of the Demon-Suppressing Cross Eye, along with the power of past celestial phenomena, to trace back the source of the blood.

The images that appeared this time were fragmented, but the content was extremely horrifying.

A dozen or so living Ironfist warriors were seen with their bodies pierced by countless bright red blood vessels, their flesh and blood gradually merging together until they became a ball of flesh.

The limbs and other body parts were not completely fused in and were still moving, indicating that they were not dead but were enduring great pain.

This was truly a nightmare scene.

Many Iron Fist fighters turned pale upon seeing this.

The guardian's brow furrowed deeply.

On one hand, the knight was furious about the tragic plight of his people; on the other hand, he was also very surprised because the guardian, Qi'ai, had not discovered such a crucial clue.

Yang Fan noticed the guardian's question and explained, "The demon knights have concealed this place, but I have mastered a secret technique to restrain demons, so I can penetrate their concealment."

The guardian nodded: "I see."

The knight remained calm, but inwardly he was increasingly astonished.

Previously, the Azure Ghost had said that he had "mastered the secret method to subdue demons," and the knight was half-believing and half-doubting. Now that the traced images were right in front of him, he finally believed it completely.

soon.

The large fleshy ball suddenly burst open.

A demon covered in blood emerged from the ball of flesh.

The image then collapsed.

The guardian murmured, "As expected, it's a demon knight."

The knight had another question: "How exactly did the Demon Knight enter the world of Tekken?"

Yang Fan explained, "The demons sent the knight's soul over and then reshaped the knight's body through a blood sacrifice. This can bypass the world barrier's interception, but the downside is that the demon knight will be weak for a period of time."

He paused for a moment, then emphasized, "This is also an opportunity for the Iron Fist Civilization to defeat the Demon Knights."

The guardian sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much for your guidance."

The knight understood Yang Fan's meaning—the battle had to be won quickly; the longer it dragged on, the more combat power the demon knights would recover, and the more dangerous the Iron Fist Civilization's situation would become.

Ten minutes passed.

Yang Fan then traced back twice more, showcasing the birth process of the other two demon knights.

The four retracings perfectly confirmed what I had said before—I sensed the aura of four demon knights.

The guardians were completely convinced.

He began to feel deeply fortunate that Iron Fist Civilization had brought in such a powerful ally; otherwise, his civilization would have had a hard time surviving this calamity.

The guardian earnestly sought advice: "Mr. Ghost, do you have any suggestions for the upcoming encirclement?"

Yang Fan immediately said, "The secret bloodline technique used by demon knights to cultivate their bodies is a 'blood fusion soul sacrifice' at the knight level. This blood sacrifice method allows demon knights to obtain some of the victim's memories."

The guardian's expression changed: "So, the Morda clan may have been secretly infiltrated by demons?"

Yang Fan nodded emphatically: "It's very likely! The three demon knights that just arrived need a lot of nourishment to recover their strength, and they are unlikely to let the Moda clan go."

The guardian's expression grew even uglier.

Several days have passed, and something terrible may have happened within the Morda clan.

Yang Fan bluntly stated, "I also have a hunch that the chieftain of the Moda clan might be in trouble."

Although there was no evidence, the Guardian believed this judgment without reservation: "I understand."

The Guardian gritted his teeth and decisively issued an order: "Mobilize the most elite Ironfist Guard to completely seal off the Morda clan!"

"Yes!"

Given the uncertainty of the extent of infiltration, sealing off the Morda clan is the wisest option.

The Guardian then issued an even colder order: "Lock the 'Scepter of Heavenly Fire' onto the Morda clan!"

"Yes!"

The so-called "Heavenly Fire Scepter" is undoubtedly a civilization-level weapon of the Iron Fist Civilization. (End of Chapter)
