Blood Crow tried to struggle his way out but he was unable to break free from Yang Kai’s grasp. His face immediately became ugly as he shouted, “Let me go!”
No matter what, he was still a Senior to Yang Kai, so he found it disgraceful to be hauled around by the neck by a Junior.
“You’re courting death!” Yang Kai shouted, gnashing his teeth, “Do you know what you’re doing?”
Blood Crow gave a lackadaisical smile, “What do you think I’m doing?”
As he spoke, Bai Yi and the others also rushed over and came to the deck in succession, staring at Blood Crow silently.
As if he sensed everyone’s attitude, Blood Crow lightly chuckled, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling disgusted just because I ate a few Black Ink Clansmen?”
Shen Ao corrected, furrowing his brow, “Brother Xue, it’s not like that, but…”
“There’s no need to explain,” Yang Kai glared at Blood Crow, “I know you cultivate the Great Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture and can refine the Blood Essence of others to increase your cultivation, but the Black Ink Clan!? You’ve been on the Black Ink Battlefield for so many years, so I don’t think that you need me to explain it to you. If you refine the Black Ink Clan’s Blood Essence, can you stomach it?”
Blood Crow indifferently replied, “If I can’t stomach it, what would I have eaten all these years?”
Yang Kai’s expression changed, “This isn’t the first time?”
Blood Crow lightly chuckled as a sliver of Black Ink Strength surged in between his brows.
The Black Ink Clan had Blood Essence which could be refined, but that was naturally filled with Black Ink Strength. Refining Blood Essence also meant being contaminated by Black Ink Strength. On the battlefield, the slightest mistake would lead to horrendous consequences; he could be corrupted by Black Ink Strength and become a Black Ink Disciple.
Blood Crow indifferently rebuked, “Don’t speak to me about the Grand Dao. This King resurrected for the sake of greater strength; otherwise, this King wouldn’t have died back then. The Great Evolution Immoral Blood Light Scripture is a wondrous Secret Art, and not nearly as simple as you think. It’s not a problem to refine the Blood Essence from the Black Ink Clan, and as for the Black Ink Strength, there is naturally a way to resolve it now.”
The method he was referring to was none other than the Purifying Light. Not to mention that Yang Kai was right next to him. If Yang Kai noticed something was amiss, he would naturally be able to purify the Black Ink Strength in his body.
Even if there was no Yang Kai, the purifying light sealed inside the Black Ink Purifying Battleships would work just fine.
This was not the first time Blood Crow had refined the Black Ink Clan’s Blood Essence; in fact, he had done so many times on the battlefield. Each time, he would find an opportunity to use the Universe Transference Law to return to the Purifying Black Ink Battleship.
Yang Kai asked in a serious voice, “Are you sure there is no problem?”
Although the Purifying Light could purify and expel Black Ink Strength, it was only effective against the Black Ink Disciples who had been corrupted by the Black Ink Strength. As for Blood Crow, he was actively refining it. Yang Kai couldn’t be certain if there was any Black Ink Strength hidden in him.
“There’s no problem, for now,” Blood Crow slowly shook his head in response, “If some problem really does present itself, just kill me.”
Yang Kai stared deeply at him, “I won’t show any mercy.”
If it really reached a point where even the Purifying Light couldn’t save him, Yang Kai would have no choice but to take his life. This was the path that Blood Crow had chosen, so he couldn’t blame others.
Blood Crow went around Yang Kai and headed for the cabin, wearing an indifferent expression on his face.
Currently, apart from Dawning Light, there were only four Purifying Black Ink Battleships that had Purifying Light in the entire Great Evolution Army. If Blood Crow wanted to safely refine the Black Ink Clan’s Blood Essence, he had to do it in an environment filled with Purifying Light.
Watching him leave, Yang Kai secretly heaved a helpless sigh.
He had also mulled over this before. The Great Evolution Immortal Blood Light Scripture that Blood Crow was cultivating after returning from the dead was indeed a wondrous Secret Art, but it was equally evil. The user of this technique could only improve their strength by relying on their own cultivation technique, which was quite a slow and tedious process, or by devouring and refining the Blood Essence of the others, which was by far the best option for the users of Blood Light Scripture.
On the Black Ink Battlefield, whether it was the Black Ink Clansmen or the Black Ink Disciples, both possessed quite a lot of Black Ink Strength in their bodies, so refining their Blood Essence was quite a risky process.
Yang Kai thought that Blood Crow wouldn’t be so bold, but by the looks of it, he had underestimated his determination to pursue greater strength.
But who did not pursue greater strength in this miserable era? Yang Kai was also like that, so were the members of Dawn, and so was the entire Great Evolution Army.
Only with greater strength could one play a greater role in the battle against the Black Ink Clan.
Be that as it may, Blood Crow’s method of increasing his strength was somewhat different from others.
Now that it was already a done deed, Yang Kai couldn’t possibly ask Blood Crow to spit out the Black Ink Clansmen, it simply didn’t work like that.
“Have you tidied up things outside?” Yang Kai asked.
Shen Ao reported with a nod, “It’s all cleaned up, but this way, it’ll be easy for us to expose ourselves.”
There should be Black Ink Clansmen outside the Black Ink Nest, defending it. When Yang Kai used the Demon Eye of Annihilation to observe them, he saw that every Black Ink Nest was guarded by the Black Ink Clan.
Now though, this Black Ink Nest was completely undefended. If a Black Ink Clan patrol were to pass by, they would definitely become suspicious.
“Should we put on a disguise?” Shen Ao asked.
Yang Kai refused, shaking his head, “No need. If the Black Ink Clansmen really come to investigate, putting on a disguise would be pointless. Furthermore, we don’t have to maintain this position for long. Great Evolution Pass will arrive in half a month at most, so we just need to hold out until then.”
It shouldn’t be a problem to hold out for half a month. What they needed to do now was to quickly take down the other two nearby Black Ink Nests.
When Yang Kai observed from the periphery of the Black Ink Clan’s defence line, he noticed that as long as he could take down these three neighbouring Black Ink Nests, an exploitable gap would appear.
As long as Great Evolution Pass disguised itself a little and entered through this gap, they would be able to completely avoid the eyes and ears of the Black Ink Clan and make it to the Royal City, catching the Black Ink Clan off guard.
Since everything had gone smoothly when they launched a surprise attack using the Black Ink Clan’s ship. Yang Kai planned to simply use the same method to capture the other two Black Ink Nests.
