MARTIAL PEAK 5636

Hearing Di Wu’s orders, the four Territory Lords braced themselves and rushed towards Yang Kai. Before they even arrived, a series of Secret Techniques burst out. Not only that, but the auras of these four Territory Lords instantly linked together and quickly formed a battle formation.

At this time, Yang Kai had already exchanged three moves with the fourth Territory Lord whose Soul had been injured by the Soul Shattering Spike.

The Azure Dragon Spear attack was fiercer than the other. There was no fancy technique to it, only a burst of violent energy.

The pain from his Soul caused Yang Kai’s face to become twisted and his expression to become extremely fierce.

Since he had launched his attack and used his Purgatory Black Pupil to interfere with Di Wu’s perception, he had used five Soul Shattering Spike to kill only three Territory Lords, but it had only been three breaths.

Everything happened so fast that it was difficult to describe.

Only by being faster would he be able to maximize his advantage.

The fourth Territory Lord barely managed to block three of Yang Kai’s spear strikes, but by the time he reached the fourth spear strike, he was no longer able to block it. The ink cloud condensed in front of him had already dissipated, revealing his defenseless body.

It wasn’t that he was stronger than the other three Territory Lords, it was just that Yang Kai had killed his enemies one after another. The first one to be killed was always caught off guard, so the fourth one had at least made some preparations before being able to block three shots.

Three hundred years ago, when Yang Kai first arrived at the Ancestral Land, he had killed an Innate Territory Lord in three moves. Although it was a bit of a trick and a bit of verbal persuasion, it was enough to show his strength.

Compared to three hundred years ago, Yang Kai’s current realm had not changed much. Although the Small Universe's foundation had improved, it was still limited.

However, with the enhancement of the Dragon Vein’s power and the increase in his mastery of the Dao of Time, he was now much stronger than he was three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago, Yang Kai was confident he could kill an Innate Territory Lord within ten moves without resorting to trickery, let alone now.

Moreover, the Territory Lord had also suffered a Soul Shattering Spike, so he was unable to display his full strength.

When the fourth spear thrust out, the Territory Lord could no longer avoid it and only felt a deathly aura envelop him, filling his heart with a great sense of fear. Even the pain he felt in his Soul dissipated greatly.

He had never felt so close to death.

“Save…” As he opened his mouth to spit out a word, the Azure Dragon Spear had already broken through the Ink Force barrier he had hastily set up and directly pierced through his mouth, blocking the remaining word in his throat. With the Space Principle binding him, he had no hope of escaping.

The long spear pierced through the back of the Territory Lord’s head and created a huge hole. The Territory Lord’s aura immediately began to melt like a snowflake under the sun.

Yang Kai didn’t have time to draw his spear before four powerful Secret Techniques flew towards him, the Secret Techniques of the other four Territory Lords has come.

Under such circumstances, even if he was at his peak, he might not be able to avoid such an attack, let alone now.

At this moment, Yang Kai’s head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to burst. His consciousness began to fade and his thoughts became sluggish. On his face, there was a fierce look of pain, but his eyes were dull.

The damage to his Soul was too severe, and many cultivators who injured their Soul would lose their spirituality or even become stupid.

Fortunately, Yang Kai’s instincts were still intact. The moment the four Secret Techniques arrived, he circulated his Dragon Vein’s power, causing a fine layer of dragon scales to appear on his skin, causing his exposed skin to suddenly become golden, as if it was covered in a layer of golden clothes.

The next moment, Yang Kai was enveloped by the four Secret Techniques.

As the Ink Force burst forth, a loud rumbling sound rang out, causing the ground to shake and Yang Kai to groan.

Before the Territory Lords could fully unleash their Secret Techniques, Di Wu’s enraged figure had already rushed towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai had already used that strange Secret Technique that could harm one’s Soul, so this was the best opportunity to kill him. Di Wu was well aware of this. He had always been wary of Yang Kai’s methods, but now, Yang Kai was like a toothless tiger to him, so he naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

The four Territory Lords who had already formed a formation glanced at each other before hastily setting up a battle formation. Since Di Wu had already made his move, there was nothing for them to do. All they needed to do was form a Four Directions Array and stand guard to prevent Yang Kai from escaping.

In fact, this was something they were more than happy to see. Facing Yang Kai, they were still somewhat nervous, afraid that if they were not careful, they would be killed by this killing star. Now that Di Wu had come forward, it was best.

Rumbling sounds rang out incessantly as a figure seemed to be flying through the thick Ink Force.

Soon, a figure shot out like an arrow from a bow, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood in midair. It was Yang Kai who was sent flying, unable to stop himself.

At this moment, Yang Kai was in an extremely miserable state. Not only was his hair disheveled, but the dragon scales covering his body were also torn and tattered, many of which had been sent flying.

With the help of a treasure like the Soul Shattering Spike, although it was easy for Yang Kai to kill an Innate Territory Lord, it didn’t mean that the Innate Territory Lord was a pushover. Every Innate Territory Lord’s attack was extremely terrifying, and after taking on the combined attacks of four Innate Territory Lords, Yang Kai didn’t feel any better. Immediately after, Di Wu rushed over and beat him senseless.

The benefits of the Dragon Vein’s powerful physique were fully displayed at this moment. If Yang Kai was still a seven thousand zhang long Ancient Dragon, after suffering such a violent storm of attacks, it would be hard to say if he would be able to stand up again. But now, although he was injured, at least he had not lost his combat strength.

The power of the Dragon Vein was apparent in these two words.

All of these attacks had been weakened by the Dragon Scale, but now that they had been added to his body, their power had naturally been greatly reduced, especially the Secret Techniques of the four Territory Lords, which had clearly been weakened by the Dragon Scale. On the other hand, in close combat like Di Wu’s, the defensive effects of the Dragon Scale had been greatly reduced.

Following Yang Kai’s miserable figure, Di Wu’s burly figure also stepped out of the range of the Ink Force and stared coldly at the pale Yang Kai, his aura surging, “Yang Kai, your death is here!”

Yang Kai’s expression became more ferocious, the veins on his forehead bulging as he was obviously extremely angry.

Originally, he had planned to use the Soul Shattering Spike to kill the four Innate Territory Lords and immediately escape from the Confinement Array to enter the Ancestral Land to heal himself.

After two or three years, when his Soul was healed, he would launch a sneak attack.

[MSN: It says two or three hundred years in the raw, but i think it should be 2/3 years, since that's the pattern in the past.]

Since he couldn’t kill the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord, he could always kill the other four Territory Lords. As long as he acted appropriately and found a good opportunity, he could kill as many Territory Lords from the Black Ink Clan that came, just like he had done in the Mysterious Nether Battlefield all those years ago.

In a battle with an enemy, Yang Kai was willing to resort to any means necessary to display his strength. The Soul Shattering Spike was now Yang Kai’s trump card against the Black Ink Clan masters.

As the saying goes, one move is enough to eat the whole world.

At that time, he would have to fight with all his patience. One day, the Black Ink Clan would not be able to bear such losses and would take the initiative to retreat, or perhaps they would no longer send a Territory Lord.

In any case, he wouldn’t lose anything.

The original plan was like this…

However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and man’s calculations couldn’t keep up with fate.

In the end, Yang Kai had overestimated his Soul’s ability to endure.

He had thought that after activating five Soul Shattering Spike in a short period of time, he would be able to barely maintain his consciousness and firmly carry out his secret plan.

However, after using five Soul Shattering Spike, although he wasn’t completely unconscious, he wasn’t able to maintain his calm state of mind.

In short, although he could still think at this moment, he was acting purely out of instinct and was showing signs of dementia.

If someone like this was bullied, they would either ignore it or retaliate fiercely…

There was no doubt that Yang Kai belonged to the latter. This was something he had proven when he killed the Royal Lord outside the Celestial Phenomenon Sea. If he didn’t belong to the latter, he would have definitely fled after losing his mind.

Therefore, after enduring the ferocious Secret Techniques of the four Territory Lords and being ruthlessly beaten up by Di Wu, Yang Kai dragged his wounded body and stared fiercely at Di Wu below him, the veins on his forehead bulging, his eyes widening as he gnashed his teeth, “You dare hit me?”

Di Wu’s murderous intent was nearly extinguished by these words, thinking to himself, 'What nonsense are you spouting? In a life or death battle, if you don’t fight, who do you fight?'

“You actually dared to hit me!” Yang Kai gnashed his teeth and asked, like a child who had been wronged, enduring the grievance in his heart as he questioned the culprit.

“Enough nonsense, hurry up and die!” Di Wu shouted angrily and rushed towards Yang Kai in a flash. In the exchange just now, he had already determined that Yang Kai was not his opponent. Although killing him would take some effort, this place was destined to be Yang Kai’s burial ground today, and in the future, the Black Ink Clan would no longer have to fear this man, which was a great achievement.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Di Wu’s expression suddenly changed. Because, Yang Kai’s aura, which had fallen greatly, began to rapidly recover and rise.

“If you dare hit me, I’ll hit you too!” The aggrieved child finally decided to fight back.

“Heaven and Earth become one with me!”

Although the injury to his Soul had caused Yang Kai’s mind to become unstable and his mind to be affected by the endless rage, he had abandoned all of his original plans.

However, his instincts were still there. Facing such a powerful enemy like the Royal Lord, he naturally had to use his full strength.

If one’s strength was insufficient to deal with a Black Ink Clan Royal Lord, then they could use external force!

Borrowing the power of this Ancestral Land.

His actions three hundred years ago had allowed him to rise from the awkward position stepson to the level of beloved son, and after three hundred years of merging his Qi with the heaven and earth, he had been able to witness the various changes in the Ancestral Land. The massive influx of Ancestral Qi had allowed his Dragon Vein to grow from seven thousand zhang to 9999 zhang. Even cultivating in the Dragon Pond for three hundred years might not have such an effect.

The entire Ancestral Land had long since opened its arms to him and given him everything he wanted.

Under these circumstances, borrowing the power of the Ancestral Land was naturally not difficult.
