MARTIAL PEAK 5761

With their auras linked together, they quickly formed a Five Directions Array with Tian Xiuzhu, with a veteran Eighth Order master as the formation eye, the group of people prepared for battle!

With such a lineup, even if they encountered the Black Ink Clan’s Pseudo-Royal Lord, they would still be able to put up a fight, but if they faced a true Royal Lord, they would definitely not be an opponent.

Therefore, after setting up the battle formation, everyone secretly prayed that the one who came was not the Royal Lord, otherwise they would probably die here today.

Xiong Ji also comforted everyone, “Everyone, there’s no need to worry too much. The Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord is only the one we found earlier, but quite a few Pseudo-Royal Lords have entered. Logically speaking, the ones who came should be Pseudo-Royal Lords, so we shouldn’t be so unlucky as to encounter a real Royal Lord.”

Liu Feifei couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him, “Originally, I thought it was just a Pseudo-Royal Lord, but now that you mention it… it seems a bit ominous.”

“Calm your heart and focus!” Tian Xiuzhu shouted.

Liu Feifei and Xiong Ji quickly shut up.

While they were talking, a figure appeared in front of them from a distance. Looking around, they saw a vast black ink cloud rushing towards them.

“Xiong Ji, you jinx!” Zhan Tianhe’s expression changed drastically. What he was afraid of really came true. The one who had come was none other than the true Royal Lord of the Black Ink Clan.

Xiong Ji’s heart was filled with depression. He had just casually mentioned it, how did it become a jinx!

The others also couldn’t help feeling a bit bitter. Even if they had formed the Five Directions Array, if they were to encounter a Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord here, they wouldn’t have a good end, but facing such a powerful enemy, it was impossible for them to not resist.

He had made up his mind that even if he had to fight to the death here, he would eat a piece of the Royal Lord’s flesh!

“Fight!” Tian Xiuzhu was a veteran Eighth Order after all, and had experienced countless life and death battles in his life, so he quickly composed himself and shouted.

Circulating his Qi, Tian Xiuzhu was just about to lead his four Junior Brothers and Sister to fight the Royal Lord to the death when he suddenly stopped and turned around to flee.

His escape stunned Zhan Tian He and the others, but now that their battle formation had been activated, under the influence of their auras, the four of them could only follow Tian Xiuzhu.

Soon, they found out why this Senior Brother Tian had fled, because it wasn’t just a single Black Ink Clan Royal Lord that had arrived. Not far behind the Black Ink Clan Royal Lord, there was an even more powerful aura chasing after him. This aura was extremely strange, not like a Ninth Order Human Race or Black Ink Clan Royal Lord, but more like…

“The Chaos Spirit King?” Liu Feifei suddenly realized.

For example, how could the Black Ink Clan have so many Royal Lords? This Royal Lord who had come here was obviously the one everyone had sensed together with Yang Kai. It wasn’t that the Black Ink Clan had two Royal Lords, but it is the same one.

Previously, this Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord had fought with the Chaos Spirit King at the Chaos Spirit Race’s gathering place, but now, the Chaos Spirit King was chasing after the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord.

However, what everyone couldn’t understand was why the Chaos Spirit King had chased them all the way here. Did it not need to protect its own race or the Chaos Body that had swallowed the Best Quality Open Heaven Pill?

In a flash, everyone understood.

Most likely, Yang Kai had succeeded and escaped. The Chaos Spirit King had mistakenly thought that Yang Kai was in cahoots with the Black Ink Clan, so when he couldn’t find Yang Kai, he decided to vent his anger on the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord.

This explained why so many Black Ink Clan masters had gathered here these past few days. Obviously, the Black Ink Clan was investigating Yang Kai’s location.

After understanding this, Zhan Tianhe and the others glanced at each other, all of them filled with admiration.

As expected of Senior Brother Yang, he had actually succeeded in taking advantage of the situation, and now that he had obtained a Best Quality Open Heaven Pill, it meant that the Human Race would have another Ninth Order master! What was even rarer was that he had even brought disaster to the Black Ink Clan.

But now, their situation wasn’t looking good. Their speed couldn’t compare to the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord and the Chaos Spirit King, so it was only a matter of time before they were caught up, but they just couldn’t escape. The Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord was chasing after them like a maggot, obviously wanting to drag them into the fray and use this opportunity to restrain the Chaos Spirit King.

They had to think of a way, otherwise when the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord took action, they would be forced into a passive position.

“Everyone, can you trust this old master?” Tian Xiuzhu suddenly asked.

Zhan Tianhe and the others didn’t know what he meant, but they could vaguely guess what he wanted to do, so they quickly said, “Senior Brother Tian is too serious. Senior Brother, what are your intentions? Just do as you please!”

Tian Xiuzhu laughed loudly, “Since that’s the case, let’s fight the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and charged towards the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord.

Behind them, the fleeing Black Ink Clan Royal Lord had long since discovered Tian Xiuzhu and the others, and was indeed planning to use the strength of these Eighth Order Human Race masters to restrain the Chaos Spirit King chasing after them. He didn’t need to do too much, he just needed to stop these human race for a moment, and the Chaos Spirit King behind him would definitely not sit back and watch. When these Eighth Order Human Race masters fought with the Chaos Spirit King, he would be able to seize the opportunity to escape.

His plan was well thought out, but he had never imagined that these human race would have the courage to turn around and charge back, so when he saw this scene, the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord couldn’t help being stunned.

Immediately, he flew into a rage. It was one thing to be chased down by the Chaos Spirit King, the other party was strong, there was nothing he could do about it. How could a few Eighth Order Human Race masters not put him in their eyes?

“You’re courting death!” The Black Ink Clan’s newly promoted Royal Lord coldly snorted and raised his hand, sending out a palm strike towards Tian Xiuzhu and the others.

In the Five Directions Array, the five Eighth Order Human Race masters were arranged in a triangular formation. Tian Xiuzhu took the lead, and before the Black Ink Clan Royal Lord could even hit them, he spat out a mouthful of Blood Essence, which transformed into a thick blood mist that wrapped around the five of them, causing his already astonishing aura to rise yet again.

The World Force surged violently as everyone’s bodies began to glow.

The moment the two clashed, the void trembled and several muffled groans rang out.

The Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord’s figure paused for a moment before the black ink cloud was torn apart by a bloody line, leaving behind a large hole. The bloody line continued for a million kilometers before revealing five Eighth Order Human Race masters.

However, at this moment, the five of them were all pale, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, especially Tian Xiuzhu, who was leading the group. His face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, and his chest had even caved in.

Relying on the Five Directions Array, the five of them formed a battle formation to fight head-on with the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord, so it was destined to be difficult.

However, at this moment, Tian Xiuzhu burst out laughing, “Take your time, we’ll take our leave!”

Struggling to maintain their battle formation, he spat out another mouthful of Blood Essence, activated his Secret Technique, and led Zhan Tianhe and the others into the distance.

An earth-shattering shockwave of battle erupted from behind them, along with the indignant roar of the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord, “Human RAce, I will exterminate all of you!”

He had originally planned to stop the few Eighth Order Human Race masters for a moment and drag them into the fray, but before he could do anything, they had taken the initiative.

They were thinking the same thing!

Under the Five Directions Array, the joint attack of five Eighth Order masters did not result in any benefits, and all of them were even injured. Tian Xiuzhu, who was the formation eye, had even walked on the edge of life and death, but the result showed that it was undoubtedly the correct response.

Borrowing this brief moment of resistance, the Black Ink Clan Royal Lord’s figure suddenly froze as the Chaos Spirit King, who had been pursuing him from behind, arrived.

When these two masters fought, how could they have the energy to care about Tian Xiuzhu and the others?

This was a true battle of life and death. Without great courage, it would be difficult to achieve such a feat. Fortunately, the Human Race’s valiant soldiers were never lacking in courage, especially those like Tian Xiuzhu, who was a veteran Eighth Order.

Finding a chance to survive in a desperate situation had always been their forte.

Tian Xiuzhu and the other five had temporarily escaped from this crisis, but their injuries were quite severe and they urgently needed to recuperate.

The Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord and the Chaos Spirit King once again clashed, shattering the chaos and shattering the void. However, although there were differences in strength between peak masters like them, it wasn’t easy to determine who was stronger.

The final result of this battle was most likely that the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord had once again fled while the Chaos Spirit King continued to pursue him…

On the other side, Yang Kai felt like he was about to die.

After obtaining the Best Quality Open Heaven Pill, Yang Kai had fled with the Thunder Shadow. Along the way, although he had found some opportunities to heal his wounds, he had often been discovered by the Black Ink Clan’s masters, forcing him to flee again with very little healing effect.

He could already feel the momentum of the Black Ink Clan’s masters gathering in this region, and it seemed that losing a Best Quality Open Heaven Pill had greatly angered the Black Ink Clan.

Right now, his condition was not good, and the Thunder Shadow was even worse, unable to fight with the Black Ink Clan’s masters.

Yang Kai could only constantly shift his position and find time to recover.

But if this continued, it wouldn’t be long before he had nowhere to run and would have to fight to the death with the many masters of the Black Ink Clan.

He had to find a safe place to recuperate.

However, although this universe furnace world was vast and boundless, and the terrain was complex, it was extremely difficult to find a safe place, especially since the Black Ink Clan was currently searching for him.

As he fled, Yang Kai was also considering a countermeasure. After thinking about it, there was only one place he could hide.

The Endless River that was rumored to span the entire universe furnace world, if he was hiding in that river, no matter how many people the Black Ink Clan sent out, they might not be able to discover its whereabouts.

However, this river was condensed from the chaotic and broken Dao Mark, so if one were to hide inside it and be washed away by this Dao mark, there would be a great risk.

For a time, Yang Kai hesitated.

The most important reason was that he had no idea how far he was from the Endless River.

Regardless, this was a way out.

As Yang Kai fled, he searched for the location of the Endless River. During this time, he would occasionally encounter some Black Ink Clan masters who were trying to find his location, so he had no choice but to use his Space Ability to escape.
