Phase 3 (8 Fin)
The three furious parents continued to beat the Territory Lord. Being very careful in how strong their blows were to avoid ending the torment too early. While they tormented the Rending Claw Territory Lord, Ding Yao finally reemerged with the dead Vengeful Claw in his hand.
"Yikes! What happened up here? Oh well, I'll bring this corpse to my Martial Grandson as a gift. He's probably exhausted. It should cheer him up. But where is the other…" Ding Yao said, scanning the battlefield, until he saw the scene of three figures purposely beating a high rank ink clan. "Oh, I'll ask the others on the ship about what happened. I'm not going near that place right now." He thought, flying off towards the ship.
Once Ding Yao landed on the ship, he didn't need to ask much. The situation was quite bad. And then a few seconds later the Ink Nest fully collapsed in on itself. Which gave Ding Yao a much better understanding of why his fight ended up being so difficult.
"Martial Uncle, the situation here happened like this…" Ning Qi Zhi explained, making sure not to show too much annoyance.
"I see, Martial Grandson has suffered greatly. I shouldn't have gone into that damn hole." Ding Yao cursed, annoyed with himself.
"Why would that matter?" Qi Tai Chu asked, curiously. Not offering any respectful terms of address in regards to the age difference and the fact that right now, no one felt great about this.
"Once I dove into the hole to finish the two of them off, Vengeful Claw here used the roots of the Ink Nest to form a powerful barrier that kept me in place. It wasn't until I killed him that I could destroy the barrier and break out of the trap. It took me a while to break out. It felt nearly endless. If I was without the token I Leiji made… I'd still be stuck down there." Ding Yao explained.
"Such a thing can happen! This good information…" I said just before coughing up a small amount of blood. "Ugh, disgusting. Anyways, don't blame yourself for this. Once that bastard dies this battle will be over." I added wearily. Controlling my coughed up blood into bottles.
"What's the point of storing your blood away?" Shen Ao asked, with a curious face.
"My blood is filled with the power of my Dao. So it in and of itself can be considered a bane to the Ink Clan." I said, slowly standing up and cracking my neck. "The attack I was hit with wasn't too strong but it was definitely enough to deal with me in such a situation. I really do need to advance more before I can fully compete on this battlefield." I added, stumbling slightly as I stood up.
"You should let your parents know that you're awake now. They've been worried sick about you." Ren Zhi Bai reminded me.
"A trivial matter." I said, creating a bolt of lightning to send down on top of the Territory Lord.
Yang Kai, Feng Ying and Bai Yi sensed the incoming bolt of lightning and backed up to avoid being accidentally hit. The bolt struck down, with a purple color brightening up the area.
"AHHH! FUCKING BRAT! HOW DID YOU NOT DIE! I SWEAR HERE AND NOW! YOU WILL DIE A PAINFUL DEATH!" Rendering Claw Territory Lord screamed in fury.
"YOU DARE SAY THAT IN FRONT OF THIS KING!" Yang Kai roared with a torrent of Qi.
The image of a sun and moon spinning around in a circle above Yang Kai's head appeared. A wildly powerful space fluctuation fueled the two to spin faster and faster. The surrounding space became chaotic and unstable. The power of time principles joined the circulating sun and moon, Increasing the violent intensity of this image. The void felt… nearly absent.
Feng Ying and Bai Yi had retreated to the ship during this time. Each only calming down after smothering me in their arms. Then, a spear appeared in Yang Kai's hand. The Spear released a roar as if the dragon's soul was finally ready to devour the enemy. Once again, spilling the Ink Clan's disgusting blood. Yank Kai's left eye filled with a brilliant golden aura, the Demon Eye of Annihilation! His right eye filled with a deep abyssal black aura of destruction, the Purgatory Black Eye!
A pair of yellow and blue crystals appeared in Yang Kai's other hand. The crystals seemingly melted and fused together to form the light of purification. And with a flick of the wrist the light was sealed inside the Azure Dragon Spear. The void itself trembled as a result of this.
"YOU DARE TO CURSE THIS KING'S SON TO DEATH IN FRONT OF THIS KING! NOW FACE JUDGMENT! OBLITERATION!" Yang Kai yelled with a Dragon's Roar behind his voice.
And then the mixture of attacks seemingly fused into one. Yang Kai flew forward unaffected by the trembling torrent in the void. A fish in water. No… A chef in the kitchen! He was cooking up a fine punishment. Once Yang Kai's spear made contact with Rendering Claw Territory Lord time seemed to stop and space seemingly became nonexistent. But time was still flowing freely and space still existed.
"If I had known that this… that this… would be my end… I would have stayed to fight Ding Yao instead. My Ink Clan… a 750 thousand strong army… fell just like this… Even if I don't want to accept this result… I must, as I am powerless in front of these humans… The future looks grim for my Ink Clan. Hopefully someone can kill that brat before he grows." Rendering Claw thought as he experienced an infinite pain over eternity compressed into the span of a breath.
The void was a flurry of powerful after effects from the presence of such overwhelming force. And Rendering Claw Territory Lord died. His soul went to hell, and he stood in front of a figure.
"How dare you curse my future son in law to death! Into the worst torture pit for you no exceptions!" The King of Hell's voice boomed throughout the hall. And the soul of Rendering Claw Territory Lord shook with an intense fear. If souls could piss themselves, he would have done so just now.
