Death... and me
chapter-1437

The twins’ clones quickly appeared as their forces tried to encircle the enemy.

‘Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!’

‘Life Fire, Flaming Blade Arc!’

However, the enemy didn’t let that happen. “Hmph! What is this? Some petty tricks?”

‘Blazing Ring!’

A ring of fire suddenly appeared around him before it spread in all directions. In the end, two realms still made a huge difference as the attack was able to negate all of the twins’ moves while still keeping up the momentum.

Rean and Roan jumped out of the way of the Blazing Ring, as did their clones. However, it was then that the enemy used his fire spears once again.

‘Myriad Heaven Spears!’

Surprisingly though, he didn’t attack the twins. Instead, the fire spears aimed at the twins’ clones, hitting them at the exact moment they were at the peak of their jump. And just like that, the twins’ clones were gone up in smoke. The worst part was that the clones used up quite a bit of their Divine Soul Power, so it could be said that they wasted their energy for naught.

Yet, that’s not what Roan cared about. Instead, it was how easy the enemy identified which ones were clones and which ones were the real twins. ‘Sure enough, our clones are getting weaker the higher our cultivation level gets. I guess that’s how far clones made out of energy can go. It seems like his spatial senses can also tell which ones are real or not.’

The twins immediately gave up creating more clones as they were easy targets for the man. Instead, they attacked together, trying to overpower the man with sheer raw power.

‘Death Style, Death Scythe!’

‘Life Fire, Flame Emperor Slash!’

Naturally, the man didn’t hold back either.

‘Scorching Field!’

‘Triple Solar Collision!’

The ground under the twins suddenly lit up in flames while three massive fireballs headed in their direction. At the same time, the twins’ attack also appeared with flashes of black and white light.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom…*

Rean and Roan were forced back by the strength of the attack once again. Then again, the enemy wasn’t any better as he couldn’t gain an edge over the twins. Worse than that, the six cuts that the twins left behind in their first attack had Dark Element in them. With that said, the Dark Element was constantly rampaging in his wounds, trying to eat at his life force. Normally, he would be able to get rid of the Dark Element without much difficulty. But because the twins didn’t give him any time to breathe, he could only hold it back, trying to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

In any case, neither the twins nor the man found themselves in a critical condition. Both sides kept exchanging attacks but always had the power to resist the other.

Eventually, the man finally couldn’t hold back the Dark Element anymore. Spatial power gathered around him before his body quickly headed to the skies. The twins hadn’t reached the Transition Realm yet, so they obviously couldn’t fly and chase them.

With that, the man distanced himself from the twins and used his power to get rid of the Dark Element in his wounds while looking at the twins on the ground. “You two are not normal. From which power are you from? There’s no way some nobodies could fight a Void Tempering Realm cultivator while still being in the Elemental Transformation Realm.”

He wasn’t the only one surprised, though. Rean and Roan thought they could easily defeat the man after what they saw in the first attack. Not to mention that they could tell that he wasn’t any kind of genius. If the man was at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, the twins would have stomped him like an ant. However, that single stage that separated the man from the Transition Realm from the Void Tempering Realm increased his power several times.

“Even though you say such a thing, the fact still stands that we can’t defeat you. That natural spatial perception of yours makes hidden attacks pretty much useless. You can also tell which of our clones are real with a glance. Last but not least, I didn’t expect such a common cultivator could even hold the power of my Death Scythe,” Roan said in response.

The man narrowed his eyes as it was not an answer to his question. “I’m Foliel from the Citaxin Sect. I admit I’m not anything compared to real geniuses like you two. If you were in the Transition Realm, perhaps I would have died already. Fortunately, that’s not the case. Then again, it seems like you don’t want to talk about your origins, right?”

Rean nodded in response. “We have no choice. It goes against the rules to use our background to scare others. If our elders find out that we did such a thing, we would be cast out of there.” Of course, that was basically a lie as the twins didn’t really have any background.

The man believed Rean’s words, though. “Hmph! If I was your elder, I also wouldn’t want you to do such a thing. Very well, you two. I’m leaving now. I will simply count it as an unlucky day to have bumped into you two.”

Rean and Roan weren’t against it. “That’s fine. It’s pretty obvious that neither side can kill the other. If we really push it to the extreme, there will be some price to pay to take the other’s life. We both know that some Molten Divine Rock Flowers aren’t worth such a thing.”

Foliel agreed with the twins. “You aren’t as immature as I thought.” Foliel then looked at the Molten Divine Rock Flower and saw that Kentucky was protecting it. “So, what do you need those flowers for? Unlike me, you two obviously aren’t Fire Element cultivators.”

Rean answered truthfully, “Our body cultivation technique requires a material with a lot of Fire Element in it.”

Foliel wasn’t surprised by that. “No wonder you’re this strong. You even cultivate a body cultivation technique.. Now I understand why my domain had little effect on your bodies.” Foliel then pondered a bit before asking, “How many flowers do you need?”
