Chapter 310 - Counter Attack
Both Rean and Latalia's group were taken aback by the newcors. Latalia was surprised to see Roan's group there, but she at least knew that they would be eting. However, the Umbral Sect group was not part of her plan. Naturally, she thought about the possibility that this was a trap against her.
However, she imdiately noticed Rean's group entering a guarding stance. Just as she was about to say sothing, Rean sent her a Spiritual Sense ssage.
'Senior Latalia, be careful. Those guys are part of the Umbral Sect.'
The Umbral Sect mbers were also surprised to find Rean and Roan here. They had noticed that the maze would change as well. However, they really arrived at this place by re coincidence. When they saw the maze changing once more, they decided to stay put to see where the room would connect them. Finding Rean and Roan here was not what they expected. This group had Vio and Sas, two Middle Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators.
'Vio, it's the twins!'
'I know, but they aren't alone.'
'So what? There are only one Middle and one Initial Core and Soul Fusion Realm in their group. We, on the other hand, have two Middle Stages and one Initial Stage cultivators.'
They weren't the only ones talking through Spiritual Sense ssage, though.
'Rovan, Rean, be ready for battle. If they attack, we will use the sa strategy as before. Let Rovan take one of their Core and Soul Fusion Realms cultivators' attention. Latalia will hold one of them as well. They will definitely send the last one to deal with us. If we play it right, we can get rid of the guy straight away.
Unfortunately, Latalia wasn't in the mood to participate.
'What are you talking about? Why should I get involved in your battle against the Umbral Sect? I don't know how you pissed them off, but I'm out.'
Roan snorted in response.
'Too bad that it won't be possible. The mont Rean said Umbral Sect, they already marked you as a target to be eliminated as well. They will not let you leave this easily.'
Roan was right. Suddenly, Vio took several Flags from his bag and threw them at all the exits. Latalia saw that and imdiately used her Wind Elent and tried to stop it.
'Wind Blade!'
However, Sas appeared in front of her attack.
*Clang!*
His sword, covered in Spiritual Energy and Fire Elent, blocked the wind blade attack.
"Old lady, why don't you spend so ti talking with ?"
Latalia gritted her teeth as she looked hatefully at Roan. She really didn't want to get dragged into this ss.
Rovan knew that a battle was inevitable, so he imdiately contacted Ervan and Sian. As for why he couldn't see Luo, he would ask about it later if they survived.
'Erva, Sian, don't hold back!'
Rovan then charged into the Umbral Sect ranks. He wasn't trying to attack the Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators, but the Core Formation ones.
As ntioned before, each group of the Umbral Sect had five or six mbers. Sas and Vio were two different groups that joined together, so they had a total of eight Core Formation Realm cultivators other than the three Core and Soul Fusion Realm ones. As for his side, it only had five. Not to ntion they had one extra Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator.
"Old geezer, do you really think you can do that with your miser Initial Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivation? What about asking
first?"
Vio, who had just set up the Flag Protection Formation, imdiately intercepted. At the sa ti, Vio sent a Spiritual Sense ssage to the rest of his group.
'Beal, you go ahead and kill the twins while we hold their Core and Soul Fusion Realm mbers. With your Core and Soul Fusion Realm, it shouldn't be hard for you. As for the rest of you, go and get rid of their Core Formation Realm ones.'
Beal was the na of the third Core and Soul Fusion Realm guy. He and the others imdiately acknowledged the orders and charged against Rean, Roan, and the others.
Rean and Roan then showed a panicked expression and imdiately retreated. Kentucky, Ervan, and Sian were then left to deal with the remaining forces. Obviously, they would be able to do that against the sheer numbers' disadvantage.
But at this mont, Roan sent them a Spiritual Sense ssage. His voice cold, totally different from how he acted in front of that Core and Soul Fusion Realm guy.
'Retreat! Don't engage in battle. All you need to do is to hold for a few seconds. Although all paths are sealed, you should still have enough space to do so. If things get dangerous, use the idiot bird as cover.'
Ervan and Sian nodded straight away, and soon, they began to retreat with Kentucky.
Beal quickly reached the twins' side even though they tried to escape. Naturally, he attributed that to his advantage in speed and cultivation. Besides, seeing how the twins were young and how they were panicking made Beal even more confident of his 'superiority.'
One couldn't bla Beal for that. It was not that he was dropping his guard or underestimating the twins. The issue was that the twins were an entire realm below in cultivation. He simply didn't believe that they could pose any threat.
Beal then pulled his sword out, quickly gathering Spiritual Energy gathering around it. At the sa ti, purple energy seed to appear in the middle of the Spiritual Energy. Sure enough, Beal also had the Umbral Energy Cultivation Technique of his sect.
'Purple Extermination!'
An arc of purple energy ca at the twins, aiming to cut them in half. Even if it didn't, the Umbral Energy would still enter their bodies once they got injured. Rean and Roan panicked even more and quickly turned back, trying to use their White and Dark Stars to block the attack.
*Boom, Boom!*
However, they could not hold the attack due to the difference in cultivation and were blasted backward.
"Arrghhh!"
Their bodies were hit by the Umbral Energy, receiving quite a few cuts even after parrying it with their swords.
Beal smiled coldly after seeing that. Without giving the chance to recover, he pounced forward, determined to finish the two teenagers.
Rovan saw that and also panicked.
"Stop!"
He turned around and tried to help the twins, but Vio once again appeared in his path.
"Hahaha! Why are you bothering with others when you can't even take care of yourself?!"
Latalia, who was in a stalemate against Sa, also narrowed her eyes when she saw that. However, she didn't lose her calm or tried to help the twins. Instead, she focused on her own battle. Sas then tried to provoke her with a Spiritual Sense ssage.
'Aren't you going to save the two kids? Well, not that you could do it anyway.'
However, Latalias' dark expression suddenly changed. A cold smile appeared on her lips as she answered back.
'Don't worry, the one who needs help isn't the twins.'
Sas was taken aback by those words. Latalia's cold smile made him feel a foreboding sensation. Unfortunately, it was too late already.
Vio also saw sothing strange. Just a split-second ago, Rovan had a panicked look at the twins' situation. Since the very start of the battle, Rovan had been at a disadvantage against Vio. After all, Vio was in the Middle Stage while Rovan was in the Initial Stage. However, Rovan's panicked expression suddenly disappeared just as he tried to block his path.
'Rise of the Fla!'
'Emperor Fla Slash!'
Rovan totally changed his stance and attacked Vio with all his might.
"What?!"
*Boom!*
Vio was taken aback. Out of nowhere, Rovan's attack power jumped to the sa level as his own! No, at the mont, Rovan was a little bit stronger!
Vio was forced to retreat, not understanding from where Rovan got that strength all of a sudden.
However, the main event was not happening here.
A mont ago, when Vio and Sas were unaware of what was about to happen, Beal was sure that he would kill the twins in the next attack.
'Purple Extermination!'
"Die, brats!"
However...
*Boom!*
The Purple Extermination hit the twins. However, Beal didn't feel the list bit happy. That's because the attack feeling was not the sa as when you hit a living body!
Sure enough, Rean and Roan's bodies suddenly dissipated into specks of White and Dark Light.
'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'
"Not good!"
Unfortunately for Beal, Rean and Roan had done all of this so that Beal would not escape. Not that he noticed the change, but it was already too late.
'Life Style, Firm Form, Enhancent!'
'Death Style, First Movent Form, Shadow Steps!'
'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
With two clones destroyed, only two remained. However, those two, together with the real twins, suddenly erged from the shadow from all sides! Together with them, nine swords materialized, giving him no chance to escape!
"Fuck!"
Beal panicked and imdiately tried to stop his advance by using a movent skill technique.
'Purple Glimpse!'
Umbral Energy and Spiritual Energy gathered around his legs, quickly increasing his mobility. The attacks were too close, but he at least intended to move fast enough to prevent a fatal injury.
Unfortunately, one of the four figures that appeared from the shadows didn't attack. Instead, he had his hand extended in Beal's direction.
'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!'
Obviously, it was Roan. Even before he erged from the shadows, his Shadow Bind Technique was ready to be cast. He just waited for the perfect mont to release it.
Shadow-like vines appeared from the surroundings, quickly entangling Beal's legs before he could even react. In the end, he only heard a Spiritual Sense ssage.
'Do you even know what death really ans?'
