There were no pursuers behind them, and there were no obstacles in front of them. With Old Turtles Squad leading the way, these three Special Operations Squads rushed towards the Royal City at maximum speed. Before the Warships even arrived, lights from the arrays and artifacts started flickering.
Chai Fang’s laugh reverberated across the universe, “All of you can go to Hell!”
The instant he finished speaking, over 50 attacks were shot out from the three Warships towards the Royal City.
The Royal City was located on a Universe World. Previously, Great Evolution Pass crashed into it and smashed it into several fragments. Although these fragments had hastily been drawn together again, the city no longer looked as magnificent as it used to.
The attacks from the Warships of these three Special Operations Squads rained on the Black Ink Nests in the Royal City.
Every attack was equivalent to an all-out strike of a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. One or two such attacks might not bother the Territory Lords, but 50 all at once was intimidating enough.
With Che Kong leading the way, all six remaining Territory Lords made a move at the same time. As thick Black Ink Strength burst forth, they managed to intercept all the attacks.
However, the people on the Warships didn’t stop at one volley.
Although several dozen Mid-Rank Black Ink Nests and one High-Rank Black Ink Nest were located in the same city, due to their enormous size they were spread somewhat far apart from each other.
Therefore, these six Territory Lords had to protect a vast area.
The Humans took full advantage of this and dispersed their attacks over the widest range possible, forcing the Territory Lords to move around different parts of the Royal City to defend against them.
A while after the battle started, Che Kong turned furious and roared, “Impudent!”
Although these Territory Lords managed to work together and intercept all the attacks from the Warships to ensure that the Royal City remained unharmed, they couldn’t keep doing this forever.
Now, it seemed as though they were the puppets being pulled around by these Warships. The Humans could dictate which direction they had to go and any slight negligence might cause a Black Ink Nest or two to be destroyed.
There wasn’t even a single Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master on these Warships, but the Humans had the nerve to be so reckless. That was why Che Kong was infuriated.
Staring at the Warships, he squinted his eyes and ordered, “Kill them!”
All of these Territory Lords were equally vexed, so the instant Che Kong gave the order, three Territory Lords charged towards the Warships while withstanding the attacks.
Seeing that, Chai Fang, who was aboard the Old Turtles’ Warship, roared, “Scatter!”
Their main objective was to draw out and pin down the defending Territory Lords, not engaging in a life-and-death battle with them.
On any other battlefield, these Special Operations Squads might be able to put up a good fight against these Territory Lords; however, this place was too close to the Black Ink Nests which the Territory Lords could draw strength from, leaving these elite Squads at a serious disadvantage.
They could only try to persevere for as long as possible while withstanding the Territory Lords’ attacks.
Following Chai Fang’s order, the Warships dispersed in three different directions. Without any need for discussion, the three Territory Lords respectively selected a Warship and gave chase. As Black Ink Strength undulated, powerful Secret Techniques were cast at the Warships.
[Only three Territory Lords left!]
Yang Kai had been paying close attention to the Royal City. Seeing what was going on, he knew this was the best chance for him to make a move.
Unless the Black Ink Clansmen had gone mad, there would always be some Territory Lords left to protect the Royal City no matter how they were baited and taunted. In other words, Yang Kai had to break through their interception to destroy the Black Ink Nests.
It was just a matter of how many Black Ink Nests he could destroy.
There was no denying that he wasn’t a match for these three Territory Lords; however, the Special Operations Squads might not be able to persevere for long. Once that happened, all their efforts so far would go to waste.
There were still five Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters in Great Evolution Pass, but they most likely couldn’t leave.
If they could make a move, they would’ve done so instead of letting these Special Operations Squads launch an assault on the Royal City.
Although it would be difficult to achieve his goal, things had come to the point where Yang Kai had no other choice but to act. He just hoped that Xiang Shan had other arrangements to follow up.
Upon making up his mind, Yang Kai stopped hiding strength as he swept his Azure Dragon Spear across his opponents. Half of the Black Ink Clansmen that had been dealing with him were instantly slaughtered.
Yang Kai didn’t bother to kill the rest and instead, he manipulated Space Principles to arrive at the Royal City in the blink of an eye. Presently, he was hovering somewhere near three gigantic Mid-Rank Black Ink Nests.
He didn’t head straight to the High-Rank Black Ink Nest, even though that would be the ideal target. If he could destroy the High-Rank Black Ink Nest first, Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao would be able to kill the Royal Lord given their current conditions.
However, Che Kong was stubbornly protecting the High-Rank Black Ink Nest and had not moved away from it from the beginning of the battle. Therefore, Yang Kai might not be able to achieve his goal by targeting the High-Rank Black Ink Nest.
On the other hand, there were quite a number of Mid-Rank Black Ink Nests that were left unprotected. He planned to take advantage of the fact that the Territory Lords were spread too thin at this moment.
The instant Yang Kai appeared, Che Kong and the other two Territory Lords were stunned. None of them could have expected that a Human was able to enter the Royal City with such ease.
More importantly, they had not sensed this Human’s presence before his appearance.
The Territory Lord nearest to Yang Kai immediately pounced on him and barked, “Don’t you dare!”
Certainly, there was nothing in the world that Yang Kai wouldn’t dare to do.
The blood feud between the two Races was irresolvable. The Humans had been preparing for years, and they were determined to achieve their goal. Yang Kai definitely wouldn’t go easy on his opponents at this point.
The next moment, he swept out his Azure Dragon Spear as his World Force surged through it.
As he wielded the weapon, three Black Ink Nests were cut in half and collapsed to the ground.
The Territory Lord charging at Yang Kai widened his eyes in disbelief and before the Human could make another move, he pushed out his palm.
His Black Ink Strength formed into a colossal palm that engulfed Yang Kai.
On the other hand, somewhere on the battlefield, the moment the Black Ink Nests collapsed, a Territory Lord who had been dealing with an Eighth-Order Division Commander realised that his aura had plunged. With his heart pounding against his chest, he turned to look at the Royal City and saw his Black Ink Nest falling to the ground.
His heart sank.
