Death... and me

Suddenly, Rean and Roan appeared by the two guys’ sides in a flash, showing a speed that far surpassed what a Middle Stage Transition Realm cultivator should be capable of.

”Not good!”

They finally understood that the twins’ group wasn’t lying. They definitely had the power to defeat them even with the cultivation difference. There had never been any higher cultivation level expert to aid them as they first thought. However, that didn’t make things for them any less dangerous.

Immediately, the two of them used their own movement techniques, aided by the spatial power they could control. They definitely didn’t want to fight the twins head-on after what they saw Kentucky doing. It was better to retreat first.

*Rustle… rustle… rustle…*

Unfortunately, it was then that they heard some weird sound. Before they could react, the surrounding area had been enveloped in countless vines. There were several layers of them, forming a cage that was simply impossible to leave without getting rid of the vines first.

’Divine Energy Draining Prison!’

Celis didn’t give them any chance as his ability as a World Swallowing Cedar activated, robbing the entire area inside his vines of the Divine Energy it had. That made it impossible for the two Void Tempering Realm cultivators to recover any more Divine Energy. On top of that, if they stayed there for much longer, the Divine Energy in their own dantians would be emptied by Celis’ ability.

Well, they had no time to think about it at the moment. That’s because the twins were right above them.

”Don’t get ahead of yourselves, ants!”

Immediately, they gave up running away and attacked the twins instead. The demon beast was one thing, but the twins definitely wouldn’t be as resistant as that Demon Bird. Besides, their attacks on Kentucky earlier still sent him back several hundred meters, so he wasn’t going to participate in this attack with the twins.

’Saber Firestorm Congregation!’

A skill similar to Three Claws of the Dragon, creating several copies of his own saber imbued with Wind, Fire, and Space Power. The guy obviously couldn’t fuse his elements with Space Power, but he could definitely use them together as he attacked the twin closest to him, Rean.

’Thunderfire Spear Descending the Heavens!’

The other enemy’s spear was once again filled with Fire, Lightning, and Space Power as he attacked Roan from above. If it hit Roan’s body head-on, it definitely would do more than just leave a few light injuries.

It was obvious that both the enemies stopped underestimating the twins’ group. This time, they went all out, pouring all their strength into their strikes.

Though, Rean and Roan could only thank them for that. It was finally time to test their own strength at the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm, as well as their weapon intents!

’Death Style, Sword Intent!’

’Life Fire, Fifth Form, Myriad Fire Slash!’

Rean was especially happy as he could test out a new skill. Just like the Third Form of Death Style, this one also created copies of his sword. Back then, the twins recognized that Three Claws of the Dragon, as well as any energy copy of anything they made, were losing effect as their cultivation got higher. That included Three Claws of the Dragon and the Mirage Assault Clones.

However, Rean was able now to resolve the problem with the sword copies at the very least. That’s because sword intent increased the power of the energy blades to almost the same level as the real one. Thanks to that, it wasn’t wrong to say that the copies were as good as the original one. They only lacked a very small amount of power since there wasn’t a real sword there. Then again, Rean’s Myriad Fire Slash created not only two but nine copies! Nine copies with almost the same power as the main sword! How strong was that? Not to mention he was fusing Light and Fire Element in that attack.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…*

*Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter…*

Unsurprisingly, Rean’s Myriad Fire Slash broke right through all the saber copies from his opponent!

”What?!”

The enemy’s saber copies weren’t weak by no means, as they were all imbued with Space Power. Unfortunately, that couldn’t make up for the difference in strength. Third Grade Star Body, Third Stage Sword Intent, Rean’s own Dark Star Sword that was definitely better than his opponent’s saber, plus the fusion of Fire and Light Element with Yang Energy. Last but not least, Rean’s capability to at least feel the opponent’s spatial powers at close range. Let alone this guy, Rean would have won this exchange even if his opponent was at the peak of the Void Tempering Realm!

Of course, Roan wasn’t any slower.

’Death Style, Scythe Intent!’

’Death Style, Death Scythe!’

By far, this was Roan’s strongest attack up to this day. Death Scythe already had a cutting power that exceeded any single target attack that Roan had in his repertoire. Now that he had the Third Stage of the Scythe Intent added, one could only imagine just how ridiculous and powerful it became. Even Rean couldn’t launch an attack as powerful as that one.

*Swish!*

There was no explosion, no burst of Divine Energy, nothing! All that happened was Roan’s Death Scythe cutting the enemies’ Thunderfire Spear Descending the Heavens. Both the guy’s attack and spear were separated in two, opening a path for Roan’s scythe to reach his opponent. It was too late to dodge as the opponent had never thought Roan’s attack to be that powerful… he was slashed in half right there and then. Not even the armor he was wearing was able to stop Roan’s attack. He was as dead as he could be!
