Death... and me

Rean and Roan then followed the path that Westren showed for them. On the way, they encountered another two groups of their own sect. From the looks of it, the attack they suffered was made while still inside the Sky Piercing Territory. However, there was nothing wrong with it. After all, both the Heaven's Might Sect and the Sky Piercing Sect are at war. Their own sect also constantly enters their enemies' territory to attack them.

"Alright, from this point onwards, it's the territory of the Heaven's Might Sect. Let's go."

Rean, Roan, and Lana nodded. Westren then changed direction and began to proceed to the Sun Streak Mountain.

As one can expect, it didn't take long for them to find the first group of the Heaven's Might Sect. Sure enough, as soon as they saw the yellow robes of their enemies, they immediately attacked.

This group had a total of four members. Three at the Middle and Late Stages of the Foundation Establishment while the last one was at the peak. They couldn't blame for attacking, though. After all, there were two kids and two adults. They obviously thought that they held the advantage. Not only that, but they even sent a single member of their own group to attack Rean and Roan, thinking that it would be more than enough to hold the two Middle Stage Twins.

Rean and Roan didn't even use the Life Style first form. After all, there was simply no need for that.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

The guy who came to attack Rean and Roan was shocked. Out of no were, six Black and White Swords appeared in his field of vision. He tried to block one of the swords. Still, the other five were also real ones.

*Clang! Swich, swich, swich, swich, swich!*

In a moment, the guy was cut to pieces.

The other cultivators were frightened by that scene. They haven't even arrived at Westren and Lana yet, and they already turned around to run.

"Going somewhere?"

Westren and Lana laughed and charged at one enemy each, delaying their escaping. Rean and Roan then switched targets and dashed straight at the guy who was still free.

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercing!'

*Puchi, Puchi!*

Unfortunately for him, he died even faster than the two who were held back by Westren and Lana. Seeing how their companion was killed so fast, the two guys immediately understood that they had no way to escape. Just as Rean and Roan were about to join the couple to deal with the last two, they dropped their weapons and kneeled on the ground.

"W-We Surrender!"

Rean immediately stopped his attack, and so did Roan. Rean simply didn't want to attack someone who posed no threat to them anymore. As for Roan, he felt that it was an excellent opportunity.

"Let them go."

Westren and Lana were taken aback. However, since Roan said so, they stopped attacking too. Those two guys couldn't believe their ears. They were almost sure that they would die. Still, trying to escape was certain death too. That's why they tried a one in a million chance of their enemies accepting their surrender. Who could have thought that they really got pardoned?

Roan noticed their shocked eyes and began to lose his patience.

"Scram!"

There was no need for Roan to say that twice. They immediately got up and disappeared as fast as they could. If anything, they couldn't help but curse the fact that they didn't have another pair of legs.

Westren then looked at the twins before asking.

"Why did you let them go?"

Rean smiled after hearing that question.

"If we continue like this, those groups will keep appearing in small numbers and with weak cultivations. By letting them go, they will probably call for reinforcements. Only then can the two of us get some challenge. Otherwise, it will be far from enough to test our skills."

Westren felt helpless. That's because he really wanted to get rid of all of them before they could do what Rean said. He was even ready to completely eliminate their bodies to not leave any clue behind. Too bad, though. Rean and Roan don't want to hide their presence.

"Sigh... Whatever. Let's go."

Westren and Lana collected the enemies' Sect badges and then left with the twins.

Exactly as Rean and Roan predicted, those two guys went straight back to their camps. Right after, they reported to the elder about this new group with two demon-like kids in between.

"Hum? Two Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Kids did that to your group? Do you think I'll believe it?"

One of the guys insisted.

"Elder Buran, we are talking the truth. Not only were they extremely strong, but they could also use skills!"

Elder Buran was obviously the name of the elder in charge of their camp. Seeing how insistent those two guys looked, he began to think that something wasn't right.

"Very well, I'll send another squad to look at this group. Do you know which direction they were going to?"

The two guys nodded.

"They were moving in the Sun Streak Mountain Range direction."

Buran then looked behind himself.

"Okrin, come forward."

Suddenly, a man appeared in the room like a ghost.

"Yes, elder Buran."

"Take five more members and get rid of this new group. Don't look down on them just because they have kids, understood?"

"Yes."

"Good, you can go now. Considering their distance from our encampment and the direction they were going, I'll give you two hours to find and finish them. Otherwise, be ready for punishment."

Okrin smiled and answered straight away.

"Don't worry, Elder Buran, I'll be back in half of that time."

The man then disappeared once more.

Back on the twins' side, they just finished another small group before letting one of them escape on purpose.

"This should be enough, right?"

Roan pondered a bit and nodded.

"I believe so. We are not moving fast on purpose, nor are we changing direction. If those guys we let escape made their part, we should see someone coming at us in at most one hour. This one will probably give us some challenges too."

Rean and Roan seemed to not mind it. However, poor Lana and Westren felt more nervous as time passed. They even began to wonder if it was a good idea to do this travel.
