MARTIAL PEAK 5367

As a veteran Territory Lord, Che Kong was extremely sensitive to the situation.

His choice was correct.

It was also a choice Yang Kai was looking forward to see.

This fellow had been guarding the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest all this time, so he really didn’t have any good ideas. Now that he had actually rushed towards him, this was his chance.

In fact, to Yang Kai, no matter how he chose, it would not affect him.

If this fellow didn’t leave the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest, he would be able to wreak havoc in the King City and wait for an opportunity to destroy the Territory Lord-level Ink Nest. As long as the Territory Lord-level Ink Nest was destroyed enough, the situation with the Eighth Order Human Race would be resolved.

Although the gap between their strengths was quite large, Yang Kai’s Ancient Dragon body was able to act as he pleased in the King City, and there was no way to stop him.

Now that Che Kong was chasing after Yang Kai and had temporarily given up on guarding the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest, Yang Kai felt that he could give the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest a fatal blow!

The Black Ink Clan’s side had a strict hierarchy, and the relationship between the upper and lower ranks of the Ink Nest was extremely clear.

For example, if a Territory Lord-level Ink Nest was able to produce a hundred or so Feudal Lord-level Ink Nests, if these hundred or so Feudal Lord-level Ink Nests were destroyed, it wouldn’t affect the higher rank Territory Lord-level Ink Nest.

However, if the higher rank Territory Lord-level Ink Nest was destroyed, then the Feudal Lord-level Ink Nest born from it would be instantly destroyed.

It was impossible for the Child Nest to exist independently from it's higher rank Ink Nest.

The Human Race had confirmed this many times.

Yang Kai had wreaked havoc in the King City, and although he had destroyed many of the Territory Lord-level Ink Nest, only half of them remained intact.

It would take some effort to destroy them all.

However, if he could directly destroy the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest, then all of these Territory Lord-level Ink Nest would suffer.

If one’s skin was not preserved, one’s hair would not be attached. This was the best way to take drastic measures.

Therefore, when he saw Che Kong rush towards him, Yang Kai not only did not retreat, but took the initiative to lean towards him.

Seeing this, Che Kong raised his hand and summoned a long spear from the void, sending out his Ink Force towards Yang Kai.

This spear was obviously a treasure refined by Black Ink Disciple Artifact Refiner for him. Although its grade wasn’t too high, it still depended on who used it.

The prestige of such a peak Territory Lord, even Xiang Shan wouldn’t necessarily be able to resist this attack.

However, Yang Kai didn’t show any fear, as if he didn’t see anything, instead rushing forward.

In mid-air, a dragon roar rang out as Yang Kai once again transformed into a seven thousand zhang long Ancient Dragon, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

He had no choice but to transform into his Dragon Body to face this powerful enemy. With his Seventh Order Open Heaven, he was no match for this enemy, and only his Ancient Dragon Body could contend with him.

The huge Dragon Eye that was as bright as the sun stared at Che Kong, and the next moment, the majestic Dragon Eye suddenly reflected the figure of Che Kong.

The reflection suddenly distorted.

As Che Kong charged towards Yang Kai, he suddenly felt a strange force acting on his body, causing him to freeze slightly.

After all, Che Kong's strength was great, so he was able to instantly escape the influence of Yang Kai’s Eye Technique.

After his eye technique was broken, Yang Kai’s Dragon Eye began to bleed golden dragon blood.

However, what he wanted was that moment of delay.

The void trembled and the roar of a dragon rang out. In that instant, Yang Kai look like he was suffering a great deal of pain, and the sound of the Dragon Roar became heart-wrenching, causing people who heard it to feel sad.

At the same time as the Dragon Roar came out, Yang Kai’s aura suddenly weakened.

However, Che Kong is not happy by development instead frightened, he suddenly has a bad feeling.

Before he could figure out why, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if an invisible force had broken through his defences and torn apart his Soul, causing his brain to become a mess.

At this moment, his mind went blank, unable to think at all as he thrust his spear forward.

Dragon Roar rang out once more as Yang Kai’s abdomen was pierced by Che Kong's spear, causing a bloody hole to appear on his chest. Even the solid scales covering his body were unable to block this spear strike.

Of course, this was also related to Yang Kai’s current state of mind.

In that instant just now, he had torn apart his own Soul, abandoned a portion of it, and used his last Soul Shattering Spike!

After Smiles Old Ancestor had taught Yang Kai the refining method and control method of the Soul Shattering Spike, he had gone to find Troublesome Grandmaster to refine it.

Even with Troublesome Grandmaster’s proficiency in Artifact Refining, it still took him a year to create twelve Soul Shattering Spike.

Afterwards, Yang Kai’s Soul entered the Ink Nest’s space and fought against the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lords and Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples, using eleven Soul Shattering Spike in total. The Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lords and Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples he fought were either dead or injured.

Only then did Great Evolution Pass successfully capture the Territory Lord-level Ink Nest.

In the end, Yang Kai still had one left.

Today, he finally had a chance to use it.

The Soul Shattering Spike was extremely powerful and was a treasure specifically designed to target the Soul. Coupled with its special manipulation method, this was the reason why Yang Kai was able to rampage through the Ink Nest Space on his own. Back in the Ink Nest Space, all the masters who had been hit by the Soul Shattering Spike had suffered a tragic end.

Smiles Old Ancestor had also said that this artifact was specially made for Yang Kai.

Every time this artifact was used, one would have to sacrifice a part of their Soul to activate the power of the artifact. How many times could an ordinary cultivator, even an Old Ancestor, abandon their Soul?

One or two times might be enough, but if it happened too many times, even the Old Ancestor wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Once her Soul was damaged, she might lose her consciousness and become a living corpse.

Yang Kai was different. Under the nourishment of the Soul Warming Lotus, as long as his Soul wasn’t instantly destroyed, he could always recover.

However, even he could only use the Soul Shattering Spike once in this situation.

This place was different from the Ink Nest Space. Inside the Ink Nest Space, after Yang Kai used the Soul Shattering Spike, he could summon the Soul Warming Lotus and use it to heal his Soul slowly. Outsiders couldn’t do anything to him. This place was chaotic and filled with enemies, so where could he hide?

What’s more, the pain of his Soul being torn apart was not something anyone could bear. If he were to experience it a few more times, Yang Kai would have no choice but to resign himself to death.

As the caster of the Soul Shattering Spike, Yang Kai was in great pain.

As for Che Kong who had been struck by this Soul Shattering Spike, his Soul was also in extreme pain. The moment his Soul was torn apart, his expression became distorted and his eyes became somewhat unfocused as he let out a beast-like roar.

When the two figures, one big and one small, collided, both of them were stunned for a moment before roaring.

Yang Kai was experienced after all, so he quickly extricated himself from the pain and ruthlessly slapped his opponent away.

The power of the Ancient Dragon’s body was released, causing Territory Lord Che Kong’s bones to burst and his Ink Force to dissipate. Black blood spurted from his mouth as his massive body was sent flying like an arrow.

Yang Kai couldn’t care less about his injuries. He still had the long spear stuck in his abdomen, and his seven thousand zhang dragon body was inconvenient to move. While shooting Che Kong away, he activated the Space Principle, and he arrived at the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest in an instant.

This Ink Nest, which was larger than all of the Territory Lord-level Ink Nests, had stood tall in the King City for countless years, constantly giving birth to the Black Ink Clan with it's Ink Force.

It was the foundation of the entire Great Evolution War Zone’s Black Ink Clan!

But today, when Yang Kai’s dragon tail swept out, the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest collapsed!

There was still Black Ink Clan inside the Ink Nest, but under the violent assault of Yang Kai, their bodies had been torn to pieces. The strength of these Black Ink Clans wasn’t very high, so all they could do in the Ink Nest was constantly injecting resources into the Ink Pond and transforming them into the Ink Force to assist the Royal Lord in battle, so how could they resist his attacks?

It was only at this moment that Che Kong, who had been sent flying, finally managed to regain his senses. Enduring the pain in his Soul, he looked up and saw the collapse of the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest.

Che Kong was stunned!

The Royal Lord’s Ink Nest had been destroyed!

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

From the moment he rushed towards Yang Kai to the moment the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest was destroyed, only three breaths of time had passed. Three breaths of time was enough to determine the life and death of the entire Black Ink Clan.

Che Kong's heart sank. This time, they were truly doomed.

When Yang Kai had destroyed the Territory Lord-level Ink Nest, although he had been angry, he had never felt despair, because the Royal Lord was still fighting with the Human Race’s Old Ancestor and they still had the newly promoted Ninth Order Black Ink Disciple.

In this battle, it was not impossible to defeat the Human Race.

But now, the Royal Lord’s Ink Nest had collapsed…

His last hope had been destroyed along with the collapse of the Ink Nest, causing him to feel cold all over.

He silently regretted leaving the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest.

“Che Kong!” From somewhere in the void, the sound of the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord’s heart-wrenching roar rang out.

His Ink Nest had collapsed!

The twenty Territory Lords guarding the King City were actually unable to protect the Ink Nest. All the Territory Lords guarding the Ink Nest were trash!

How useless!

At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to withdraw and kill off all the Territory Lords and Che Kong who had remained in the King City to vent his anger.

However, he could not withdraw.

The moment the Royal Lord-level Ink Nest collapsed, he could no longer borrow strength from his own Ink Nest.

Originally, although he had been seriously injured, with the help of the Ink Nest, he was able to contend with Smiles Old Ancestor. Now, without this external force, how could he be Smiles Old Ancestor’s opponent?

Smiles Old Ancestor obviously knew that this opportunity was not to be missed. Sensing that her opponent’s momentum had greatly weakened, her attacks suddenly became much fiercer and she shouted, “Mo Zhao, this place will be your burial ground today!”

Mo Zhao was the name of the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord.

The Great Evolution Army didn’t know the name of the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord, but after fighting with him for so many years, how could Smiles Old Ancestor not know? During the countless times they had fought, they had also chatted casually and the other party had even shout his name.

It seemed that many of the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord were surnamed Mo. [MSN: Fun Fact, Mo is actually the direct translation of Black Ink, according to MT.]

So far, the names of the Royal Lord known to the Human Race are almost all like this.

On the other hand, the Territory Lords had all kinds of strange names.

He didn’t know if they would one day become Royal Lords and change their names.
