MARTIAL PEAK 5216

Occasionally, there would be human soldiers staggering out of the battlefield, some alone, some in groups of three or five, all of them covered in blood and their auras weak.

Attracted by the auras of Yang Kai and the others, these soldiers quickly gathered and quietly found a place to sit down and recuperate.

Yang Kai adjusted his breathing for a moment before standing up and rushing into the black ink cloud.

His Small Universe had raised countless living creatures and even had the World Tree Subtree, so the recovery speed of his World Force was much faster than an ordinary person's. Even if he didn't deliberately cultivate, his Small Universe's strength was constantly increasing.

The area covered by the black ink clouds was where the battle had just taken place. Although the two armies had already left, it was unknown if there were any survivors on the battlefield.

Perhaps there was still a chance for the Human Race's soldiers to survive, but because they had suffered heavy injuries, they had lost the ability to move. If there was no one to help them now, they would only be trapped.

Therefore, Yang Kai wanted to take a look.

The entire battlefield covered a radius of tens of millions of kilometers as Yang Kai shuttled through it, his Divine Sense searching for any signs of life.

He really did find some.

However, all of them were Black Ink Clan that's severely wounded, barely surviving.

Naturally, Yang Kai didn't hold back and casually activated his Space Law, sending out a series of Moon Blades to kill them. [MSN: Wow, haven't heard of this secret technique in a long time.]

After searching for about two hours.

When Yang Kai returned from the battlefield, he brought a Seventh Order woman with him.

Yang Kai didn't know what this woman's name was, but when he found her, she had already fallen into a coma and was crawling on the wreckage of a Battleship, her body covered in wounds and her clothes stained with blood.

In addition to this Seventh Order woman, he also saw the corpses of many Human Race soldiers, but most of them were the remains of the Black Ink Clan.

The entire battlefield was like a purgatory.

This was the only person he had found alive on the battlefield.

It had been several hundred years since Yang Kai had arrived at the Ink Battlefield. From the time he had first arrived at this place, he had been a Sixth Order Open Heaven cultivator, and now he was a Seventh Order. He had been to several war zones and had participated in countless battles, in terms of hardships, none of it can surpass this battle.

The reason for this was because the Great Evolution Army had travelled a long distance and had no barrier to rely on.

Compared to fighting near their respective mountain passes, in the Great Evolution War Zone, the Human Race's army was isolated and helpless. Even if they were injured, they couldn't go to any safe place to recuperate. The only way to continue recovering the Great Evolution War was to win.

It was foreseeable that in the coming days, there would be no shortage of such battles. How many Human Race soldiers would be buried in the Great Evolution War Zone and follow the glory of their ancestors?

After bringing the woman back to the place where everyone was gathered, the soldiers who were still recuperating opened their eyes and glanced at him, nodding slightly without saying anything.

There were less than thirty Human Race soldiers gathered here. Not to mention, after this battle, only these thirty had lost the ability to fight, but because they had been injured while the army was chasing after the Black Ink Clan, they had not been able to keep up.

Even if most of the soldiers were seriously injured, they had already left with the army.

Placing the woman next to him, Yang Kai once again sat down cross-legged and quietly adjusted his breathing.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the battlefield. There seemed to be some strange movement there.

However, after entering the battlefield and carefully searching for an hour, he found nothing worth paying attention to other than a Seventh Order woman who was still alive.

Where did this strange sound come from?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, the movement suddenly became obvious. It was actually a revival of vitality, and this vitality was extremely strong, causing the rate at which it was reviving to suddenly increase.

A tyrannical aura burst forth from the battlefield.

Yang Kai's expression suddenly changed as he quickly stood up and sent out a sound transmission to his surroundings, "Quickly use the Universe Escape Law and return to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship!"

The thirty or so Open Heaven Stage masters who were still in the midst of recovering themselves also felt the life force reviving, all of them staring at the battlefield in confusion. Listening to Yang Kai's voice transmission, all of their expressions became serious as they realized the seriousness of the situation.

As such, no one hesitated and quickly spread out, each of them changing their hand seals and activating the Universe Escape Law.

Although a few hours of recovery was not enough to completely heal these heavily injured cultivators, it was enough to allow them to use this Secret Technique that did not consume much energy.

The light from the various Spirit Arrays lit up beneath the thirty or so people's feet. These Spirit Arrays were the result of the activation of the Universe Escape Law, each of them showing signs of resonating with the Unvierse Formation set up on the Expelling Black Ink Battleship.

In just a few breaths of time, everyone would be able to use the Universe Escape Law to return to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship.

However, at this moment, perhaps attracted by the fluctuations of everyone activating the secret technique, a powerful Divine Sense suddenly swept across the battlefield.

Yang Kai's face suddenly became ashen.

The most worrying thing happened.

Previously, although he had sensed the tyrannical life force, he had been unable to determine the exact cultivation of the other party, so for safety's sake, he had immediately ordered everyone to flee. Now that the other party's Divine Sense had arrived, the strength of their cultivation was obvious.

Eighth Order! The vitality that had been restored in the battlefield belonged to an Eighth Order.

Moreover, Yang Kai was almost certain that this was not an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator from the North and South Army, but an Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple.

Although he didn't know if any Eighth Order Open Heaven from their side had fallen in this battle, even if some Eighth Order had fallen, if there were still intact corpses, the other Eighth Order wouldn't leave these corpses alone and would definitely take them away.

However, after those Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples died, the Black Ink Clan's Territory Lords would ignore them.

There was actually an Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple left on the battlefield! This was something no one had expected.

When Yang Kai had gone to search the battlefield, he hadn't noticed anything at all, but now it seemed that this Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple had most likely cultivated some kind of Secret Technique that allowed him to fake his death and escape, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to avoid the investigation of the Eighth Order Garrison Chiefs.

The Human Race army had already left, leaving behind only thirty weaken soldiers. Now that they were facing an Eighth Order, the situation was quite worrying.

Yang Kai's heart jumped to his throat.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

More than thirty Spirit Arrays lit up.

After the third breath, the light of a Spirit Array burst out and the figure shrouded in light disappeared.

Three out of the thirty people left.

After the fourth breath, more people left.

However, there were still a dozen or so of them remaining.

The Universe Escape Law was sometimes very useful and sometimes had great drawbacks.

With the help of the Universe Escape Law, the Human Race's soldiers could quickly return to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, but the difference in cultivation and distance would affect the time it took to teleport.

In general, the higher one's cultivation was and the closer they were to each other, the less time it would take to use the Universe Escape Law.

The three people who left in the third breath were all Seventh Order, so they left the fastest.

In the fourth breath of time, more than a dozen people had left, all of them at the Sixth Order. Their cultivations were one grade lower, so their speed of departure was also slower.

The remaining ones were mostly Fifth Order and a few Sixth Order. Because their cultivation was the lowest, their speed of teleportation was also the slowest.

Under normal circumstances, when the Human Race's soldiers used the Universe Escape Law, they would try their best to ensure that they would not be disturbed during the teleportation process, because once they were disturbed, the teleportation would inevitably fail.

However, at this time, the situation was quite urgent, so when everyone realized something was wrong, they could only leave as quickly as possible.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a figure suddenly rushed out from the battlefield and rushed towards the crowd.

Before he even arrived, a giant azure hand condensed from the World Force reached out towards them.

Affected by this tyrannical power, the spirit array under the feet of these dozen or so people began to twist and distort.

Once that giant hand descended, these dozen or so people would at least be interrupted, not to mention whether they would live or die. At that time, a group of Fifth and Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivators would definitely be unable to survive against an Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple.

Yang Kai had been vigilant all this time, so when he saw this scene, he let out a roar and leapt forward with his spear.

Spear images filled the sky as they shot towards the giant hand. At the same time, the Space Law were pushed to their limits, each images containing a powerful Space Force.

The spear images was destroyed and Yang Kai's entire body was grabbed by the giant hand.

However, in the next moment, his figure was wrapped in spear light as he rushed out from the giant hand, his figure flickering as he returned to his original position.

The numerous lights around them finally enveloped everyone's figures, and with the help of Yang Kai's efforts, more than a dozen or so Fifth Order and Sixth Order Open Heaven safely left.

Before leaving, every figure stared at Yang Kai in shock and worry.

They knew that without Yang Kai's momentary obstruction, they would definitely have been interrupted by the Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple, but now that everyone had left, how could Yang Kai alone be a match for that Eighth Order?

If they had known this would happen, they might as well have all stayed behind and fought with all their might. Although there were only about thirty weaken soldiers, if they worked together, they would still be able to display a great deal of strength.

However, there was no point in thinking about this now. When they discovered this Eighth Order vitality recovering, everyone had already prepared to leave. No one had expected this Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple to recover so quickly.

In the quiet void, Yang Kai held his Azure Dragon Spear and silently watched the figure walk out of the battlefield.

He was indeed an Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple.

Enveloped in the Ink Force, this Eighth Order Black Ink Disciple had a huge bulge on his shoulder, making it seem as if he had two heads. This bulge was filled with a thick Ink Force, making it seem extremely violent.

His previous attack had been interrupted by Yang Kai, causing him to be unable to accomplish anything. This obviously made him angry, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at Yang Kai, "You can save others, but can you save yourself?"

Yang Kai said lightly, "Then you have to try to know."

Saying so, he quietly took out a World Fruit and swallowed it.

Although he had recovered some of his strength, facing an Eighth Order, he still had to adjust his condition to its peak.

Although this Eighth Order... was nothing special.
