Death… And Me

Chapter 1525 - Tea

At first, only the members of the Tranquio Sect knew about the change in the roster. However, everyone watching was obviously caught by surprise when only Rean and Roan entered the field sometime later.

”Whatʼs happening there?”

”Could it be a mistake?”

”That canʼt be, right? Iʼm pretty sure there are more Core and Soul Fusion Realm disciples in Tranquio Sect.”

”If thatʼs the case, why are they sending only two members?”

”Youʼre asking the wrong person here.”

Such conversations and more went all around. Naturally, the Hura Clan also noticed the change and asked the judges, ”Whatʼs happening here?”

The old woman nodded and looked at Ormo, asking, ”Where are the rest of your disciples, Sect Master Ormo? We need ten participants to start the next challenge.”

Ormo shook his head in response, replying, ”There are no rules saying that one side canʼt send a smaller number of cultivators. For this test, those twins are more than enough to deal with the Hura Clan.”

”You!” The Hura Clan Headʼs expression went dark as everyone was taken aback by that response. Wasnʼt that the same as throwing dirt on the Hura Clanʼs face?

However, Ormo couldnʼt care less. ”These are the members who are taking part in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm level challenge. If you donʼt want to accept it, just surrender and give my sect the victory.”

The judges looked at each other and nodded in the end, saying, ”Sect Master Ormo isnʼt wrong. There are no rules regarding fewer members during a test. As long as the limit in cultivation is met, the number of participants doesnʼt matter. Clan Head Zosviei, what are you going to do?”

Zosviei was obviously the name of the Hura Clanʼs head. ”Hmph! Theyʼre just acting tough. Itʼs obvious that they simply gave up on this contest and are focusing on the next ones. Very well then. Donʼt blame me if I get rid of your little twins over there.”

Zosviei then gave the order to his Core and Soul Fusion Realm disciples. ”All of you, get rid of those twins. My Hura Clan chooses a group battle!”

Immediately, everyone sighed after hearing that, thinking there wasnʼt anything else to be seen anymore. After all, how could the twins win against ten enemies? They all thought Ormo was giving up on this challenge as well.

”Theyʼre totally dead.”

”He could have just given up, no?”

”Why waste everyoneʼs time?”

Nevertheless, the judges didnʼt budge. If the Tranquio Sect wanted to use only two disciples, then they wouldnʼt stop them. ”The Hura Clan has selected a group battle for this test. We will now raise the protection formation so that you can fight. The battle will be over as long as one side gives up or gets defeated. There are no rules for the fight itself. Killing or just beating the other side is up to the disciples participating.”

*Zunnnnn...*

Suddenly, a protection formation below the field activated, followed by a Divine Energy shield that covered the whole area. The judges confirmed that the formation was working just fine. They were just about to start the battle when suddenly, something caught their attention.

Out of nowhere, there was a table on the field. Not only that, but Roan was sitting on the chair in front of it while sipping on some tea.

That, of course, bothered Rean. ”Are you going to leave all the work for me to take care of?”

Roan didnʼt even look in Reanʼs direction as he replied, ”It was your idea to help them, so you deal with it. Donʼt worry. If things go south, Iʼll give you some help. Iʼm here, am I not?”

Rean couldnʼt help but sigh after hearing that. ”Fine... itʼs not like I needed your help anyway.”

The faces of the disciples, the elders, and the clan head of the Hura Clan went red with anger. It was one thing for Ormo to disregard them, but even those two disciples were making fun of their faces.

Ormo, Xuve, Glasita, and everyone else from the Tranquio Sect were even more baffled. Surely that was way too much confidence, wasnʼt it? Ormo even wondered if he had made the wrong decision.

It caught so much attention that even the judges, including the old woman in charge of them, didnʼt know what to do.

Zosviei couldnʼt hold that back anymore before he shouted, ”Whatʼs taking you so long? Just start this challenge already! I want those twins dead!”

The old woman finally came back to herself and sighed after that. ʼWell, whatever happens to them has nothing to do with me,ʼ she thought.

”The group battle starts now!”

Immediately, all ten Peak Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators of the Hura Clan charged forward. Swords, spears, skills, and abilities. All kinds of attacks materialized in Reanʼs direction. Why Reanʼs direction? Thatʼs because Rean put himself in the middle of the path between Roan and the Hura Clan disciples.

ʼDeath Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!ʼ

Immediately, Reanʼs hair changed into a mix of black and white as two clones of himself appeared by his side. The clones began to turn too weak to be used in fights at the Elemental Transformation Realm and above. However, for fights at this level? They were pretty much as good as average Peak Stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

ʼDeath Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!ʼ

*Zush!*

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

All the attacks hit the place where Rean had just been a moment ago. However, Rean himself and his clones disappeared from the Hura Clanʼs cultivatorsʼ eyes in a flash. Not only did Rean have Shadow Steps and Enhancement, but he also had the Third Grade Star Body. Only those at the Soul Transformation Realm and above could possibly follow his movements. For those disciples, he truly disappeared from their sight.

ʼLife Fire, First Form, Flame Emperor Slash!ʼ

ʼLife Fire, Second Form, White Stellar Explosion!ʼ

ʼLife Fire, Third Form, Flaming Blade Arc!ʼ

*Slash!*

*Swish!*

*Bang!*

Before the disciples could even react, Rean and his two clones appeared behind the furthest Hura Clanʼs disciple and struck them head-on!

Roan immediately thought as he saw that, ʼNaive as always.ʼ

Why? Because Rean didnʼt kill them. He only used enough power to defeat those disciples.
