MARTIAL PEAK 5022

As far as Zha Hu was concerned, even if he couldn’t kill this Black Ink Clan Territory Lord this time, he would at least have him return to the Black Ink Nest to recuperate for several hundred years.

As time passed, the battle continued.

The Black Ink Clan army was defeated.

Originally, there had been nearly twenty thousand people from the Black Ink Clan gathered in this region, but at this moment, their numbers had been reduced by more than half. Although most of the dead are Low Rank and High Rank Black Ink Clans, the losses suffered in the Feudal Lord level were not too great, but the Human Race’s victory was already unstoppable.

What was even more unbearable to them was that after paying such a painful price, the results of the battle were actually quite poor.

Not only had they failed to convert any Black Ink Disciples, but they had also failed to kill many of the Human Race cultivators.

The palace artifact were simply too useful on such a battlefield. All of the Fifth Order and Sixth Order Open Heaven cultivators were under the protection of their respective Battleships, and only Seventh Order cultivators would appear outside to kill their enemies.

If they didn’t destroy these Battleships, they wouldn’t be able to kill anyone from the Human Race.

However, the defensive power of the palace artifact was extremely strong, so how could it be easy to destroy it?

After half a day of fierce fighting, although more than thirty Human Race Battleships had been destroyed by the Black Ink Clan, with the help of the nearby teams, these teams that had lost their Battleships still had the strength to fight, and less than a hundred Human Race cultivators had fallen, not even a single Seventh Order amongst them.

This was also the reason why the Black Ink Clan hated and coveted the treasures of the Human Race’s Palace Artifact. If it weren’t for the Palace Artifact, the Human Race would have long since been conquered by the Black Ink Clan. How could the Human Race have the ability to resist the Black Ink Clan for so many years?

It wasn’t that the Black Ink Clan hadn’t thought about refining their own Palace Artifact. If the Black Ink Clan also had their own Palace Artifact, then the Low Rank and High Rank Black Ink Clans would be able to display strength far beyond their own. For countless years, the Black Ink Clan had been working hard towards this direction.

However, the Human Race was very strict about the Palace Artifact. All Artifact Refiners who participated in refining the Palace Artifact were not allowed to enter the battlefield and were carefully protected, so even if the Black Ink Clan wanted to convert a few Artifact Refining Grandmasters into Black Ink Disciple, they were powerless.

Even now, the Black Ink Clan didn’t have their own palace artifacts, and although they could refine some of the ordinary flying artifacts, they could only serve as a stepping stone and were useless in battle.

The Black Ink Clan’s army was defeated, and the three Territory Lords were also in a bad situation.

There was no need to mention Zha Hu’s opponent, he is not an opponent at all and could only hold on bitterly. Xie Xiuping and Lu An’s opponents were able to fight back and forth with them, but they were unable to control the situation and could only watch as their army was defeated.

Under Zha Hu’s deliberate action, the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord’s body was covered in several large wounds, each one so deep that his bones could be seen and his black blood flowed freely. His aura had long since lost its peak.

Seeing that it was only a matter of time before the army was defeated, the Territory Lord no longer had any intention of staying. With a fierce strike, he took Zha Hu’s blow and forced him back, taking the opportunity to escape.

However, at this moment, an aura suddenly locked onto him and a beam of light shot out from the void like a bolt of lightning.

The Territory Lord couldn’t help feeling his skin tighten as he turned his head in horror, only to see an attack rapidly expanding like a pair of wings.

On the Breaking Dawn deck, Bai Yi’s eyes flashed with a strange light as she stared at the Territory Lord’s figure. The longbow in her hand slowly lowered as she gasped for breath, her face as pale as paper.

This sudden attack was obviously her doing.

Although she didn’t participate in the battle like Yang Kai and the others and only stood on Breaking Dawn's bow to support them with her exquisite archery, after half a day of fierce fighting, more than a dozen of the Black Ink Clan Feudal Lords had died at her hands, and with her archery assistance, Yang Kai and the others were able to kill their enemies without hesitation.

It could be said that although Bai Yi is only one person, with her addition, the overall combat strength of Dawn had increased by more than thirty percent.

Activating the archery technique for a long time had consumed a great deal of Bai Yi’s energy, especially since this last attack was clearly a powerful Secret Technique.

Even Xu Boliang hadn’t been able to defend against such an attack and was injured by it, so the heavily injured Territory Lord was unable to resist.

The pair of spreading wings instantly sank into the Territory Lord’s chest, causing the Territory Lord to roar, unable to conceal the anger in his voice, causing his already weakened aura to drop a few degrees.

At this moment, he finally understood why Chasing Wind regarded this human race Black Ink Disciple so highly. This human race Black Ink Disciple truly had extraordinary abilities and was worthy of being regarded highly.

Although he wanted nothing more than to kill this woman who had ambushed him on the spot to appease his anger, the Territory Lord also knew that escaping at this moment was of the utmost importance, so after being hit, his speed didn’t decrease but instead increased as he rapidly flew towards the depths of the void.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him and blocked his path.

In the Territory Lord’s perception, he discovered that the one blocking his path was clearly a Seventh Order Human Race master!

He flew into a rage, he was seriously injured by Xu Boliang’s sneak attack. He couldn't beat Zha Hu, then that human race woman had used her archery skills to launch a sneak attack on him from a distance, but there was nothing he could do about it. But now a Seventh Order had appeared and blocked his path, how could he let others bully him like this?

The Territory Lord’s hand spread out and condensed a thick Black Ink Force into a giant black palm print that slammed towards the man.

Zha Hu, who was chasing after the Territory Lord, saw this and shouted, “Yang Kai, dodge!”

He hadn’t expected that at such a critical moment, Yang Kai would come from the battlefield below and even block the escape route of a Black Ink Clan Territory Lord.

Right now, this Territory Lord was at the peak of his viciousness, so even he had to be careful, let alone a mere Seventh Order.

If something were to happen to him, how would he explain himself to the Regiment Commanders and Old Ancestor?

In his shock, a blood mist burst out from his body. Obviously, he had burned his own Blood Essence to increase his speed, wanting to block this attack before the Territory Lord attacked.

However, no matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than the Territory Lord's attack?

Facing this attack, Yang Kai didn’t even try to dodge, simply performing a series of hand seals with a solemn look on his face as he shouted, “Garrison Chief Zha, let me help you!”

As the incantation changed, the Golden Crow let out a cry and the Great Sun leapt out, following closely behind the Great Sun. A round moon rose into the sky, its cold moonlight shining down the sky.

Under the manipulation of the Space Law, the sun and moon shone brilliantly, as the Time Laws filled the air.

As the sun and moon revolved, a mysterious power surged out.

The sun and moon intertwined, transforming into a divine wheel that slashed towards the Territory Lord.

At this moment, whether it was the Territory Lord or Zha Hu behind him, both of them felt the space and time become chaotic, their minds involuntarily freezing for a moment.

Although it was only for a brief moment, both the Territory Lord and Zha Hu were shocked.

In the next moment, the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel ruthlessly slashed towards the Territory Lord’s body. There was no violent explosion of energy, but the Territory Lord seemed to have passed through thousands of years in an instant, his aura rapidly weakening, and tiny cracks appeared on his exposed skin. These cracks flickered with a strange light, hindering the healing of his wounds and causing his vitality to continuously leak away.

At the same time, the Territory Lord's fierce attack slammed into Yang Kai.

The sound of bones breaking rang out as Yang Kai was sent tumbling through the air like an arrow released from a bow, unable to stop as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Puff…

The Territory Lord also spat out a mouthful of black blood and stopped.

Zha Hu appeared above his head like a ghost, covering his head with one hand as he coldly shouted, “Die!”

A look of horror appeared on the Territory Lord’s face as he no longer had time to suppress his injuries and instead used all his strength to raise his hand and smash upwards.

A violent power burst out from Zha Hu’s hand, and with a loud bang, the Territory Lord’s head exploded. The thick Ink Force gushing out from his neck, causing Zha Hu to let out a muffled groan as his face paled slightly.

Although he had managed to kill the Territory Lord, the other party’s desperate attack before his death had also caused his blood to churn violently.

A trace of Black Ink Force entered his Small Universe and under the nourishment of the World Force, it continued to expand.

In the past, this kind of situation would have been extremely troublesome for the Eighth Order Open Heaven cultivator, and he would have had to quickly cut off his Small Universe's territory in order to protect himself, otherwise there would be a hidden danger of becoming a Black Ink Disciple. However, now that they had the Purification Light, this was no longer something he needed to fear. All he needed to do was wait for the battle to end and use the Purification Light to dispel the Ink Force.

To be honest, in this battle with the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lord, whether it was Zha Hu or Xu Boliang who had launched a sneak attack, neither of them had any intention of taking his life. If not for this, Xu Boliang would not have immediately fled back to the base after launching a sneak attack and could have stayed behind to join forces with Zha Hu.

Because both of them knew that even if the two of them joined forces, they might not have a chance to kill this Territory Lord. Even if they succeeded, the price they would have to pay would not be small.

Severely wounding him was the best option.

However, at this critical moment, Bai Yi and Yang Kai’s actions had made it possible for them to kill him. Whether it was Bai Yi’s arrow or Yang Kai’s Secret Technique, both of them were extremely powerful, causing the Territory Lord’s aura to fall and his injuries to worsen.

Two Seventh Order had given him such a good opportunity, if Zha Hu still couldn’t succeed, he would be letting down the two of them.

Even so, he had still been injured by his opponent’s counterattack before his death, a testament to how dangerous this battle between masters was.

Turning his head to look at Yang Kai, he was somewhat worried.

This little brat had taken a blow from the Territory Lord, so it would be best if nothing happened to him.

At this moment, Feng Ying had already rushed over to support Yang Kai and was stuffing healing pills into his mouth. Zha Hu’s figure flashed as he arrived beside the two and asked, “How is it?”

Feng Ying’s face was filled with panic as she shook her head, “Not good, he fainted.”

Zha Hu stretched out his hand and placed it on Yang Kai’s wrist, using his Divine Sense to investigate the situation. He couldn’t help frowning. Yang Kai’s situation was far from good, it was simply terrible.

Countless bones in his body had been broken, and his five viscera and six organs were all damaged. Even his vitality was extremely weak, like a flickering candle in the wind.

Anyone who suffered such an injury would not be far from death.

Fortunately, Yang Kai possessed the World Spring, so his Small Universe’s physique was flawless and could not be invaded by any external force. Otherwise, the attack just now would have caused some damage to his Small Universe.
