DEATH… AND ME

lm. ’ However, Roan seemed pretty confident in his words, so they decided to do as he said.

Rean, on the other hand, understood what Roan wanted to do.

’Who are you trying to deceive here? I can totally tell that you want to fight that guy alone.
Or could it be that you thought I wouldn ’t notice, uh? ’

Roan narrowed his eyes but didn ’t refute Rean ’s words.
Roan really wanted to see if he alone was enough to fight a Core Formation Realm enemy.
After all, he was sure that their twin combo could efficiently deal with the enemy.
However, this would not be considered a challenge at all.

Noticing his silence, Rean laughed out loud in their soul connection.

’Hahaha! Don ’t worry.
As long as you use my Life Style First Form to attack, that will be enough for me.
It is an excellent opportunity to see how well it will perform when there is only one of us.
Of course, if you see that you are dying, you can implore for my help.
Your grandfather, I, will definitely offer a helping hand. ’

Roan ’s mouth twitched.

’Hmph! I would rather die and bring the two of us down together than implore for your help.
I ’ll leave it at your own discernment if I need help or not. ’

The reason Roan wasn ’t so sure about his strength alone was that he can ’t use the Fifth Form of the Death Style alone.
The Mirage Assault skill needed both of them to work.
After all, it required a much higher control of Light Element than he can do alone with just their Soul Connection.
It was the same thing for Rean.
Without Roan ’s Dark Element control, the Mirage Assault skill wouldn ’t work either.

Rean then laughed once more and didn ’t say anything else.

Although they talked a lot, the fact is that they used Spiritual Sense or the Soul Connection to talk.
Because of that, just a few seconds passed outside.

Okrin also gave his orders to the subordinates he brought along.
However, he told them to leave both Rean and Roan for himself to deal with.
Their objective was to take care of the couple at the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment. 

After that, he promptly dashed in Rean and Roan ’s direction.

However…

’Life Style, First Form, Enhancement. ’

’Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer! ’

The twins ’ hairs changed into black and white colors.
Right after, Roan shot in Okrian ’s direction! Rean, of course, went after the Foundation Establishment guys.

”Fast! ”

Okrin was taken aback.
The ray of black and white energy made all the hairs in his body stand up.
Every single pore screamed danger, making him understand that Roan alone is already strong enough to threaten his life!

’Sword Wind Blade! ’

Without wasting any time, Okrin attacked with one of his own skills.
Spiritual Energy and Wind Element acc.u.mulated in his sword as he slashed the air in front of him.

As a Core Formation Realm, he obviously could use skills as well.
Fortunately for him, he was an agility type cultivator.
Thanks to that, he had faster reactions and attacks than other types.
Otherwise, he wouldn ’t have been able to counter-attack Roan ’s Stellar Piercer fast enough.
Not that he was weaker, but that he underestimated Roan, which delayed his reaction.

*Boom!*

Both the Stellar Piercer and the Wind Blade clashed and disappeared.
However, Okrin wasn ’t the least bit happy.
He is a Core Formation Realm cultivator while Roan is a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment one.
Still, Roan ’s attack had enough power to nullify his Wind Blade.

Nevertheless, he didn ’t have time to think or stop Rean, who was moving away.
That ’s because Roan had already appeared right in front of him.
At the same time, he received a Spiritual Sense message.

”I hope you don ’t disappoint me. ”
