Meng Qi had been worried that he might be corrupted by the ck Ink Strength again. If that were to happen, the secret of the Void Corridor would definitely be exposed and the 3,000 Worlds would be invaded by the ck Ink n army. He had not dared to take any chances so long as even the slightest possibility existed; thus, he had chosen to sacrifice his life instead.
Although Yang Kai understood the reason behind those actions, he could not help feeling regretful whenever he came across simr situations and remembered Meng Qi.
Other than Yang Kai, nobody else in this world knew that a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master from Exquisite Paradise had sacrificed his life in order to protect a secret rted to the safety of the 3,000 Worlds.
As a matter of fact, countless Human Masters had risked their lives on the ck Ink Battlefield since ancient times. Who among them had not given blood and life to stop the invasion of the ck Ink n? Be that as it may, with the exception of the Elders and elite disciples from the Cave Heavens and Paradises, most of the people in the 3,000 Worlds were not even aware of the ck Ink n’s existence.
The Cave Heavens and Paradises had contributed greatly 3,000 Worlds.
“We’ve got movement.” A low voice sounded inside the ck Ink Cloud.
The others who were resting nearby quickly opened their eyes and focused their senses outside. Sure enough, they discovered movement. Arge number of ck Ink nsmen suddenly entered the range of their perception. Not only were there as many as 500 people in the approaching group, several ck Ink Feudal Lords were leading it.
The High-Rank Open Heaven Realm Masters exchanged a nce with each other and noticed the eagerness in the other’s eyes.
During this period of time, everybody had carried out numerous acts of intercepting the enemy, so it could be said that they had long since gotten ustomed to such acts. In fact, thisrge group of ck Ink nsmen looked like nothing more than a delectable piece of meat in their eyes. With their current line-up, they were perfectly capable of destroying this enemy. Most importantly, there were many ck Ink Disciples among this group of enemies. If they could sessfully rescue these ck Ink Disciples, they would further increase their strength.
At the beginning, if they had encountered such a group of enemies, they could only choose to make a temporary retreat. There was no helping it as the difference in numbers was too great. In contrast, even though they currently only seemed to have five people on the surface, the truth was that they each contained many helpers in their respective Small Universes. It was only natural for them to eye these enemies with relish.
“Something is wrong,” Yang Kai suddenly scowled.
“What’s wrong?” The person who asked the question was an elderly looking man. He was one of the Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters who introduced himself as Qi Tai Chu of Yuan Origin Paradise.
“Their direction is wrong!” Yang Kai shook his head.
Upon hearing those words, another Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master called Ning Qi Zhi of Red Sun Paradise agreed, “That’s right. Why is a ck Ink armying from that direction?”
During this period, all the ck Ink nsmen they intercepted had been heading towards the front lines of the battlefield from the ck Ink n’s territory. However, this group of enemies came from the opposite direction. From the looks of it, they seemed to have retreated from the front lines of the battlefield.
“Did they finish fighting on the front lines?” Shen Ao raised an eyebrow. If that was the case, then it was good news. They would only need to wait for the ck Ink n army to retreat, then they could make the return trip. There was no need to continue hiding and sneaking around.
“It’s too quick.” Feng Ying slowly shook her head, “When has the ck Ink n’s attack notsted at least a decade or two? There are times when they even attack for hundreds of years without stopping. How could they possibly retreat so quickly?”
“Then why did this group return?”
“Could they be escorting something?”
They whispered among themselves, each expressing their own opinions. Even so, none of them could provide a reasonable answer.
The enemy was approaching closer and closer, so if they did not make a move now, they would miss the opportunity to do so. Seeing this, Ning Qi Zhi asked, “Are we attacking or not?”
All of them turned to look at Feng Ying. Although she was a woman, she was also the strongest among them. Moreover, all of them were jointly rescued by her and Yang Kai, so it was only natural for her to takemand.
Feng Ying turned towards Yang Kai with an inquiring nce.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment, “It’s probably okay to attack, but we should be extra careful. If you think that something is wrong, retreat immediately.”
She nodded in agreement, “In that case, let’s move!”
The moment the words left her mouth, she took the lead and rushed out of the ck Ink Cloud. Yang Kai and the others quickly followed suit.
As usual, when the five figures emerged from the ck Ink Cloud, the ck Ink n noticed them immediately and turned to look in their direction. The leading ck Ink Feudal Lords exchanged nces with each other, showing suspicious and puzzled expressions. One of them immediately raised his hand to stop the forward motion of the group they were leading; then, they quietly waited for the five figures to approach.
Although they did not seem to be on guard against the five approaching figures, it was not due to ack of vignce. The main reason was that no ordinary Human cultivator would conceal themselves inside a ck Ink Cloud. Those who dared to hide inside a ck Ink Cloud without fear of being corrupted by the ck Ink Strength were definitely already ck Ink Disciples. Besides, they had hundreds of people on their side while Yang Kai’s party only had five. The gap in their numbers was too great.
Those were the same reasons why Yang Kai and the others could repeatedly approach their enemies in such a bold fashion and seed in their sneak attacks.
The distance between both parties grew closer and closer, so much so that they could clearly see the expressions on each other’s faces.
Feng Ying, who was in the lead, suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed at something. A longsword appeared in her grip, and she immediately slid her finger across the de of her sword.
Following a surge of World Force, a crisp humming sound reverberated throughout the void. Thousands of sword waves appeared behind her, twisting and converging to form a 1,000 metres long Sword Dragon in an instant. At the same time, she concealed herself within the Dragon Head and vanished out of sight.
As soon as she attacked, she had unleashed her Divine Manifestation. It was obvious that she nned to end this battle as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, the ck Ink n clearly never expected this kind of thing to happen. They initially thought that these people were five ck Ink Disciples separated from their Masters; therefore, they had nned to wait for the other party to approach and enjoy some easy benefits. Who could have expected the other party to unleash a killing move instead? The sudden turn of events left the ck Ink nsmen reeling in confusion.
The expression of the leading Feudal Lord changed drastically and he shouted ferociously, “Enemy attack!” N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
For a time, the 500 men team was engulfed in chaos.
At the same time, the 1,000 metres long Sword Dragon lunged towards the ck Ink n army while shaking its head and flicking its tail. Nobody could halt its rampage. The sword waves that formed the body of the Sword Dragon vibrated with a humming sound, turning into unstoppable weapons. All the ck Ink nsmen who came into contact with the sword waves were either heavily injured or killed on the spot. In that way, the enormous Sword Dragon swept open an empty path through the ck Ink n army.
When Feng Ying made her move, Yang Kai and the others immediately opened the portals to their Small Universe. Numerous figures that had been prepared for a long time emerged from within.
In the blink of an eye, the seemingly lonesome five-men party expanded into a small army of over 200 people that charged towards the ck Ink n with a ferocious roar.
The ck Ink n was stunned by the attack. Targeted by Shen Ao and the others, the Feudal Lords were unable to issue effective orders. Consequently, the battlefield was soon split apart. The ck Ink n were separated into small groups that stuck together on the defensive.
Yang Kai ignored the Feudal Lords as his figure moved through the crowd as nimbly as a fish in water. Whenever he came across an opportunity to attack, he would not miss it.
The Azure Dragon Spear in his hand swept out left and right. Everywhere he passed, ck Ink nsmen erupted into blood mist in his wake. With his current strength, as long as he did not encounter a Feudal Lord, nobody beneath them could defend against his spear.
Be that as it may, his main task was not to ughter the ck Ink nsmen but to rescue the ck Ink Disciples. Purifying Light flickered here and there, following Yang Kai’s figure as he roamed the battlefield. The ck Ink Strength was dispelled from the bodies of the ck Ink Disciples, and they regained their rity one after another.
Although there were hundreds of people on both sides, the battle was an extremely one-sided ughter. Not to mention, it was the Human Race with fewer numbers who held the upper hand. It was very strange indeed; however, this result came from catching the ck Ink n by surprise.
The ck Ink n never expected the five Human cultivators who approached them to carry malicious intent; in addition, Feng Ying’s Divine Manifestation had caused great casualties and instilled panic among the ck Ink n army right at the outset of the battle.
If both sides could reconstruct their formation and fight on fair terms, the ck Ink n would not suffer so badly even if they were, ultimately, outmatched.
Many ck Ink nsmen tried to escape when they saw that the situation was not in their favour. Be that as it may, how could the Human cultivators allow these ck Ink nsmen to survive? The Human cultivators immediately gave pursuit and quickly ughtered the fleeing ck Ink nsmen.
The intense battle took less than an hour from the beginning to the end. All the ck Ink nsmen were eliminated, and the ck Ink Disciples were rescued. The Human cultivators also suffered some casualties, but their losses were within the eptable range.
“Martial Uncles and Martial Aunts, this Junior Brother has important information to report!” While they were counting their losses on the battlefield, somebody walked over to Feng Ying and the others with a young man in tow.
Yang Kai turned to look at the young man and recognised him as one of the ck Ink Disciples he rescued earlier.
Feng Ying looked at the young man and asked, “What information?”
The young man solemnly cupped his fist, “Martial Aunt, this is a trap. We cannot stay here for long.”
She frowned slightly, “What do you mean? Exin clearly.”
He thus exined, “I don’t know much, but the ck Ink n seems to have noticed something strange. They believe that a small team of Human cultivators are causing havoc in the rear, so they dispatched some people tounch a search. They intend to locate and eliminate the hidden team. We were merely one of the search teams. There are another seven or eight teams in the vicinity. As soon as they discover something, they will immediatelymunicate with each other to provide support. Although you moved very quickly just now, Martial Aunt, the reinforcements from the ck Ink n are probably on the way. Moreover, I overheard several ck Ink nsmen mention that this operation is being overseen by a Territory Lord.”
The expression of Feng Ying and the others immediately became grim. All the doubts and illogical urrences from before were rified at this moment.
Shen Ao pounded his fist against his palm and gritted his teeth, “I was wondering why this group was retreating from the front lines. It turns out that they have noticed our movements.”
Ning Qi Zi frowned, “Although we’ve always wiped out the enemy without fail, the ck Ink n has suffered quite a heavy loss recently. It was only a matter of time before we were discovered, but I never imagined that they would respond so quickly.”
The ck Ink nsmen who should have headed to the front lines had repeatedly failed to arrive on the battlefield. One or two people might have gone unnoticed, but it was impossible for thousands to simply be overlooked.
This war began because the Human Masters had raided the ck Ink n’s domain and destroyed a number of the ck Ink n’s territories along the way; therefore, it was not strange for the ck Ink n to suspect that a small team of Human Masters were causing havoc in the rear.
This particr ck Ink n team had been ordered to perform a search of this region. Under normal circumstances, they would have been on guard when they encountered these five people, but Feng Ying and the others had emerged from within the ck Ink Cloud, which caused the ck Ink nsmen to mistakenly assume that they were ck Ink Disciples. For that reason, the ck Ink nsmen had lowered their guard and given Feng Ying’s party the opportunity tounch a sneak attack.
Everybody began moving swiftly. Although they ughtered all the ck Ink nsmen, the information would have leaked out by now. The other ck Ink n search teams in the vicinity would surely be on their way to provide support.
