Chapter 191: Solo Battle

Rean and Roan continued their way to the Sun Streak mountain. On the route, Roan stopped showing mercy for any enemy. Of course, that was good news for the couple who didn't want to leave anyone out to start with.

Suddenly, Rean and Roan's vision turned red.

'Killing Intent!'

The two of them immediately raised their hand for Westren and Lana to stop as well.

"What is it?"

The twins didn't answer his question. Instead, Rean began to accumulate Light Energy around himself. A few seconds later, he looked in a certain direction in the forest before laughing. Doesn't matter how well hidden they are; all living beings have a life force. With Rean's affinity with Light Element, he could feel their presence in the distance as long as he put enough effort into it.

"Since the six of you already came, why don't you show yourselves?"

After saying that, another laugh came from behind the trees that Rean was looking at.

"Hahaha! Indeed, the reports were true. The first two guys you let go told me about some kind of demon twins. At first, I thought it was bullshit. However, seeing how you found our location this easily, I can't help but feel that there is a hint of truth behind our disciples' words."

A man using a black robe then appeared in their vision. Right after, another five cultivators appeared behind him. The five cultivators didn't seem much of a threat. After all, Rean and Roan's Spiritual Sense could tell that they were all in the peak of the Foundation Establishment. However, the man in black was a little different since he was in the Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Obviously, he was Okrin, the cultivator that Buran sent to hunt Rean's group.

Nevertheless, Roan seemed a little disappointed. With Rean's new skill and their increase in cultivation, Roan didn't think that the guy would cause much trouble. Unless...

Okrin didn't notice it. Instead, he asked Rean something else.

"By the way, how did you find us? I'm pretty confident in my concealing technique. Even those in the same realm as me would have some difficulty noticing my presence with Spiritual Sense alone."

Rean smiled before saying.

"Haha! Who knows? Maybe I thought that it was already time for someone to appear, so I decided to try my luck and say a few words in empty air."

Obviously, Rean wouldn't talk about Roan's ability to see killing intent through colors. Much less about his own capability of noticing Life Force.

As one can imagine, Okrin didn't believe a single word from Rean. How lucky would Rean need to be to stop and look right in his direction when talking? There is no way that it was just a coincidence.

"Well, I can ask you later after I capture you four."

Roan then thought about an idea. Since it would be much of a challenge, he would create one. Roan then looked at the couple before sending a Spiritual Sense Message.

"Westren and Lana will give support to Rean while he gets rid of the Foundation Establishment enemies. Rean will try to finish it as fast as possible. As for me, I'll hold the Core Formation Guy."

Westren and Lana were taken aback. Their Spiritual Senses couldn't go as far as the twins, so they didn't know that the cultivation of the leader of the enemy's group. Obviously, they felt nervous when Roan said the words 'Core Formation Realm.' 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 accumulated 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."
