　　By the time Yang Kai emerged from the chaotic cloud of energy, the attacker had already escaped far away, as he had antic.i.p.ated. Only, they left behind a clear trail this time that was not as indistinct as before.

　　Yang Kai coldly snorted. That strike from his Azure Dragon Spear was not easy to take. Even if his spear did not give his attacker a severe injury, it would still dampen their performance.

　　[One arrow for one spear, that makes it even!]

　　The biggest difference between them was the strength of their physiques. So, when it came to trading wounds like this, Yang Kai had the advantage no matter how one saw it.

　　Without dallying in place, Yang Kai pursued his attacker in the direction they left.

　　The fact that he was unable to catch this guy even after the plot he set up earlier showed just how difficult this ambusher was to manage.

　　Among Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters, Yang Kai had never met one of this calibre before. Even if Feng Ying were to face this person, she would not be their opponent if they were facing off at a distance.

　　But with this, the boiling anger inside Yang Kai finally eased down. The more difficult his opponent was, the calmer he had to be. This was not an enemy he could take down simply, so he had no choice but to be patient. He believed that if he kept on going, then an opportunity would come to him eventually.

　　While chasing after that person by constant use of s.p.a.ce Principles, Yang Kai gradually shortened the distance between them.

　　It seemed that his attacker was now much slower after suffering a hit from his Azure Dragon Spear and also having exhausted their strength during this long chase.

　　They were both similarly in the Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm, and Yang Kai had not advanced into this realm for long, but he had an abnormally strong heritage. So, despite not having broken through for many years, his Small Universe’s stamina was not something that an ordinary Seventh-Order Master could compare with. What was more, he was raising many living beings inside of his body and time flowed differently in his Small Universe, so even if he did not put effort into restoring his World Force, it would recover on its own at a steady rate.

　　That gave him the advantage when it came to a drawn-out fight.

　　On the other hand, even if his opponent was a veteran Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, they would still not be able to withstand such intense consumption for such a long period of time, and that was also the reason why his attacker was slowing down.

　　Just as Yang Kai saw that he was about to catch up with his opponent, a large s.h.i.+p suddenly appeared in his range of vision.

　　It was a Black Ink Clan s.h.i.+p, which was easily distinguishable on the battlefield due to its strange shape, its large-bodied crew, and the s.h.i.+p’s own bulky size.

　　Naturally, Yang Kai would have no fear of facing this kind of large s.h.i.+p from the Black Ink Clan. As long as there was no Territory Lord standing by on the s.h.i.+p, then it was impossible for these scattered Black Ink Clansmen to do anything to him. And, even if he did b.u.mp into a Territory Lord, he was currently in the Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm. If he could not fight, then he could just run away.

　　The sudden appearance of a Black Ink Clan s.h.i.+p was a headache for him.

　　His fleeing attacker was headed straight for the large s.h.i.+p, and in a few moments, joined up with them, boarding the s.h.i.+p and disappearing.

　　The large s.h.i.+p was heading straight for Yang Kai, with many large Black Ink Clansmen standing on the deck.
