Chapter 57: A Test Concerning Life and Death
Although this was a test, for Zhang Tie, it was not an impossible task. On the way back to the
hotel, Zhang Tie realized that it was possible to lock onto the marvelous arched door between
his eyebrows. That meant that once he was given a couple of seconds, he could disappear from
their clutches and seek refuge in the Castle of Black Iron. However, once he did this, although
he would be able to rid himself of the immediate danger, he could potentially bring a greater
and more dangerous dilemma to his family. The secret of the Castle of Black Iron was
something so great that once it was exposed, nobody related to him would be able to survive, be
it his family, the members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood, and perhaps even Donder. In the eyes
of those great figures, the lives of dozens meant nothing when compared to the secret of the
Castle of Black Iron.
Returning to their room, they closed the door and Huck and Snade immediately showed their
ruthlessness.
“Bang!” Zhang Tie was almost thrown onto the ground while his neck was still gripped by Huck.
As a result, the bones all over his body almost broke, and as he couldn’t stand the pain, he cried
out miserably.
“Quiet! That might be heard by others!” Snade told Huck. Hearing his words, Huck reluctantly
pulled back his foot, which he had wanted to use to kick Zhang Tie. Squatting in front of Zhang
Tie, Snade patted Zhang Tie’s face. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Du Shaofeng…”
“What’s your elder brother’s name?”
“Du Shaowu!”
“What’s his position in the City Guard Army of Blackhot City?”
“Major commander of the 3rd Battalion, 4th Regiment of the City Guard Army of Blackhot
City…” Zhang Tie responded miserably, “That piece of wood was truly thrown to my nephew as
a building block, I swear! Once you let me go back, I will bring it back to you. Why don’t you
Half an hour later, Snade returned again.
“How about it?” Huck hurriedly asked as Snade closed the door from the inside.
Snade looked really gloomy. “It took me 1 gold coin to verify that all the kid’s words were true.
There really is a major battalion commander by the name of Du Shaowu in the 3rd Battalion,
4th Regiment in the City Guard Army of Blackhot City. Du Shaowu has a younger brother called
Du Shaofeng, who’s as old as this kid. They live in B301 in that community. In addition, Du
Shaowu has a 2-year son…”
Hearing Snade’s words, Zhang Tie started to twist on the ground again.
“That’s impossible! I feel there is something wrong with what he has said…” Huck said
furiously, “I should have kicked him to death!”
“I have also felt that there was something off about him, but I couldn’t figure it out. We have no
other ways now. If the kid is still telling a lie, we have to kill him!” saying this, Snade moved in
front of Zhang Tie. Squatting down, he patted Zhang Tie’s face with his hand before saying, “I
have known since the beginning that you might be cheating us. I simply wanted to see what
First he felt pain, then it was followed by weakness, and finally, he felt cold. As more and more
blood had flowed out, he gradually became more afraid…
“We have already lost patience! We will give you several minutes to tell us the truth. Once you
do that, we’ll stop the bleeding and let you live…” Hearing the alluring words of Snade, Zhang
Tie suddenly realized that how happy he was when he wasn't bleeding.
Blood continued to trickle down into the toilet bowl from Zhang Tie’s hand, turning the
originally white toilet bowl into a pool of blood. Looking at the bloody toilet bowl, Zhang Tie
suddenly remembered the topic that he and Donder were talking about, “Blood Sense”. He was
truly amazed at how women didn’t feel pain when they bled every month… At that moment,
Zhang Tie started to admire women… Gradually, he felt cold and weak. He forced a smile and
muttered inside, “What mother*cking blood sense!? I really don’t understand it at all, but I am
curious…”
Time slowly passed by as more and more blood trickled down from his right wrist.
He then felt dazed and could hardly lock onto that arched door in his mind. “Should I enter the
Castle of Black Iron?” Zhang Tie asked himself. He wished to survive a bit longer; however, he
didn’t want to bring a greater and more dangerous crisis to his family members and the
members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood.
During that period, the rags inside Zhang Tie’s mouth were pulled out one more time.
Afterwards, Snade asked the same question, yet he received the same answer. Thus, the rags
were stuffed back into Zhang Tie’s mouth…
Zhang Tie started to think of his mom’s plump shadow… the increasing white hair on his dad’s
head… the pair of leather shoes and the underwear gifted by his elder brother… and Fatty
Barley’s suggestion of getting circumcised…
“F*ck! I haven’t even been circumcised yet and am going to die a virgin. It truly is shameful to
With the artery on his right wrist being pressed down, the blood stopped flowing out. At the
same time, Zhang Tie saw a bright light before his eyes among the endless darkness. A line of
words appeared in his mind:
——The Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree has detected that the body energy, Qi, and blood of the
lord is approaching a dangerous, minimum level. Do you want to begin recovery and invert the
flow of blood and Qi through the Leakless Fruit ?
——Yes…No
Zhang Tie spent his last effort to click “Yes” in his mind…
