Phase 3 (6)

"Damn, if a territory Lord is coming this way… I'll have to focus on him. But… I'm actually running low now. I'd need some time to recover and be able to gain the upper hand." I thought. 

"Young master, If we can't do anything about it just leave it to your father. I'm sure he can handle it. Though I'm not sure what gave it the chance to escape from that Ding Yao guy." Fang Qing said, stretching with a yawn. 

"I've already informed him of the matter. The problem is that I can't spare any more energy for whispering across that kind of distance. And the others need to be warned." I said. 

"Then how about you try this…? That should be enough to warn others something different is going on. Right?" Fang Qing suggested. 

"Good, good, good, let's do that. I'm sure the attack array operators on Daybreak could use a little bit of time to shine. And mothers should know that something is up as well then act accordingly. The enemy barely numbers in the few tens of thousands. Once this is over victory will be had and we can then pillage their treasuries." I replied. 

The Rendering Claw Territory Lord continued to make progress forward. "This damn brat has hit me over a dozen times by now. Does it ever relent?" He thought to himself. 

"Senior! Allow us to travel with you! You must have a method to deal with this damned Lightning. We are all high ranks so we should be safe from the purple colored lightning. And the Silverish blue one can't harm us much." A high rank ink clan said flying over to try and meet up with the disguised Territory Lord. 

"Hmm… there is such a thing… I didn't realize there were so many different types. Have you seen what the Gold lightning does? I haven't seen much of it by comparison." Rendering Claw Territory Lord asked. "Damn why did these idiots have to join up with me. This was supposed to be a sneak attack. Now it looks like I'm marching an army. What kind of sneak attack is this?" He cursed in his heart. 

"If Senior wishes, I can explain what I have seen as we walk. Firstly, the Purple Lightning is able to kill our higher end Low ranks and lower end high ranks in one shot. Occasionally there will be a not so lucky one that escapes instant death to suffer another one. Mid tier high ranks can usually survive 2 shots. And the Higher end can survive the shots 5 times so far… that is, until Senior came along. You've survived 14 shots now after that last one…" The high rank explained. 

"Go on…" Rendering Claw Territory Lord said. "DAMN IT! That means this brat knows I'm not a high rank! He might even think I'm one of the two remaining Territory Lords. My cover has been ruined and now I have to handle dealing with these wastes slowing me down!" 

"The Silverish blue lightning is considerably weaker but arcs from clansman to clansman. Low ranks have a hard time with this. But we should be fine. And so far I've only ever seen it drop when there were many close to each other. It's much better for us since we can bear it more easily. But… the Golden lightning… I've rarely seen hit clansmen. It seems to prioritize the Ink Disciples. But I get an eerie feeling from it… I'd rather get hit with the purple lightning than with the gold lightning." The High rank finished explaining. 

"Damn! That must be a means of knocking them out cold or even purifying them in some way! That's really bad!" Rendering Claw Territory Lord freaked out. 

"Oh no it's happening again!" The High rank said, sweating. 

Another loud Dragon Roar, boomed through the battlefield. The wind raced and the Territory Lord looked up… His face filled with a rare moment of terror. What stared back at him was the image of a dragon. And three different colors gathering and getting closer. The Lightning fell, striking Rending Claw Territory Lord square in the face. 

"AHHHH! BRAT I'LL KILL YOU DEAD!" Rendering Claw Territory Lord Yelled out in anger and abject agony. An agony that one could understand just by the tone of his voice. A crazed look came over him and then began his mad dash towards me. "BASTARD!" He yelled occasionally as he kept getting hit by the Lightning.

"AHAHAHA! A Territory Lord is just this? A coward who can't face his opponent so he goes and attacks the young. Taste the heavens fury!" I laughed loudly. "Shit, I thought there would be more time… I hope my father can get over in time… This could be bad otherwise." I thought. 

"YOU DARE TO LAUGH AT ME! TAKE MY ATTACK AND GO TO HELL!!!" Rendering Claw Territory Lord yelled out firing off an Ink Palm attack he had been charging up for the last several hours of endurance. And it began its journey. 

"LEIJI GET AWAY FROM THERE!" Feng Ying yelled. 

"Oh no! He can't move!" Miao Fei Ping said, after he noticed that there was something else wrong. 

The lightning from all over the battlefield stopped and was redirected. The three colored Lightning began falling onto the palm gradually degrading its power. The attack had been a high 7th rank attack, but it had rapidly declined in strength mid 7th… low 7th… high 6th… mid 6th… And then… 

"Blurg! Fuck… that hurt!" I thought, coughing up a massive amount of blood. Falling to the ship. 

Miao Fei Ping flew up to catch me before I landed hard on the deck. "Young Master! Take this, eat it quickly!" He said, feeding me a potent healing pill. 

"Miao Fei Ping… Do your best to help him recover… I have some business… to take care of." Feng Ying said, with a seething anger and blood lust. 

"Mind if I join you… Sister Feng… I have some… matters to take care of as well it seems. Perhaps we can take care of these at once?" Bai Yi said, with a similar bloodlust oozing out from her body. 

"Oh shit! Everyone get back to the ship!" Yang Kai ordered, knowing what was about to happen.
