Chapter 57 - Welcome Surprise
Chapter 57 - Welcome Surprise
Time serenely passed by. And soon enough, several hours already flashed by.
At this moment, for a couple of hundreds of meters around Cain and Kali, a tremendous aura momentum frantically gushed out of them.
The air kicked up into a crazy whirlwind, slicing apart the trees and razing parts of the grounds to hell. This was accompanied by an immense pressure of heavily dense Nascent Qi.
Any tier 2 vicious beast or Nascent Formation master unlucky enough to come here would've coughed up blood on the spot.
Just the mere aura breakthrough of Cain and Kali was that powerful.
This phenomenon lasted for a few seconds. Then, almost too abruptly, the whole area returned back to its calm state.
Cain and Kali perfectly controlled their dense auras, receding it back into their bodies.
At this moment, Cain and Kali's expressions were the epitome of glee. In just these hours, their cultivation has risen once again!
From consuming nearly everything from their enemies' spatial rings, Cain reached the sixth level while Kali reached the fifth level of the Nascent Formation realm.
Using so much pure Qi energy yet only achieving one and two levels may seem like a waste.
But for Cain and Kali, they knew they just shaved off days of regulating cultivating.
The density of their Nascent Qi wasn't anything other average or even talented cultivator could hope to match. It was truly the difference of night and day between them.
The only edge Cain and Kali have in terms of cultivation speed is their superior comprehension and perception abilities.
With each level of Nascent Qi, all of its perceptions' properties become perfectly record within the sibling duo's mental psyche.
Bottlenecks simply weren't a thing for them. Cain and Kali genuinely were fish in waters, absorbing everything they could until they evolved past a certain threshold.
Once Cain and Kali reached their new breakthrough, they didn't immediately get up. Instead, they diligently took the time to consolidate their current level.
One thing the sibling duo picked up on was the increasing time needed to consolidate their foundation.
While the Qi energies they absorbed have no impurities, Cain and Kali still needed to consolidate all the new abundance of energy into a perfect circulation cycle.
Not doing this would cause their Qi energy to run rampant in their Qi Seas and Qi veins.
And if that were to happen, attempting to make future breakthroughs would be immensely difficult.
No matter if Cain and Kali's talent is insanely high. The sibling duo still needs to properly take their steps in cultivation though they have massive shortcuts.
Time quickly passed again, and soon enough, three more hours passed by.
At that moment, Cain and Kali finally flung their eyes open.
Slight flashes of Draconic lightning dimmed within Cain's deep black eyes. Vague blue sparks of Draconic Ice twinkled within Kali's enchanting green spring eyes.
If anyone were to gaze into their radiant eyes, a mystified feeling would inevitably wash over them.
Although, despite their current charms, Cain and Kali's natural aura were entirely receded.
Nobody could ever tell this sibling duo has a slumbering raging power that can terrify any Nascent Formations masters.
"Ha! Get a loud of this, brother! With our realms, we can probably take on a peak Nascent in even combat. Even if we can't beat them, they won't be able to stop us. No mere Liang Tribe captain can ever hope to stop us."
Kali loudly boasted. As she spoke, she snapped up to her feet, her joints crackling with explosive power.
"Like I said, just stepping stones for us. Now then…." While Cain stood up, he took out a map from his spatial ring. "If we head down this route, it won't take too long to reach Azure Lightning City. Once we're there, we'll gather all the information we need before a proper plan."
"Mn. Sounds good to me." Kali readily agreed.
Neither of the Cain nor Kali even thought of the Kong Clan. As far they were concerned, their relations were cleared up when they stole the spirit key.
Any fights with the Liang Tribe from here own would only be their selfish desire for a great battle.
With their decision made, Cain took the lead, walking on a specific dirt path with Kali following close behind.
As they traveled, the sibling duo walked with a pep in their steps.
At this point, they were pretty tired of gazing around the wilderness scenery. They felt it becoming too dreary and samey.
Furthermore, Cain and Kali also just miss having a comfortable place to cultivate and other small valuable necessities.
Like this, the sibling duo traveled quite far out without any interruptions. There weren't any vicious beasts or other wandering rouge cultivators traveling about.
Considering it was the south side of the Tribal Domain, this wasn't anything new to Cain and Kali.
The thing they did find odd was the lack of any Liang Tribe members.
'It can't be because of luck again, right….? Oh? Wait….I spoke too soon.'
Suddenly Cain and Kali stopped walking. Their senses detected two powerful presences rapidly soaring right towards them.
"Hmph. About damn time." Kali was already bearing her fangs.
She needed something, anything, to salivate her thirst for action. And long and behold, it was people she has a slight enmity with.
Seconds later, a noisy whistling tore through the air.
The wind of high-speed movement swept past Cain and Kali, recklessly swaying their clothes and beautiful long hair.
A moment later, two people appear in front of the sibling duo, stopping a mere 100 feet away from them. These two were strong-looking men who both radiated a domineering air just by their natural auras.
They both wore the Liang Tribe high-quality Captains' brown leather armor and already had their silvery swords drawn in their hands. Their stature was proud and rigid, absolutely disdaining Cain and Kali.
"Hoh? Mere mid-level Nascents from the Kong Clan dares to tread in our territory, eh?" One of the captains spoke in a vicious tone.
And after he spoke, his and his partner's Nascent Aura wildly pulsated out of them.
Their powerful Nascent Auras crashed down on Cain and Kali in the hopes of drowning them in an unfathomable powerful suppression.
After all, with their pitiful Nascent levels far below them, how could they ever dream of matching them?
"Mn?"
However, instead of seeing Cain and Kali promptly clasped to their knees, the sibling duo stood tall and calm. They simply looked at the Liang Tribe captains with utter indifference, as if they were nothing special.
And this kind of boastful attitude only made the Liang Tribe captains crack a vicious smile.
The other captain even crackled a little bit, shaking his head while saying, "So you have this much false bravado? Maybe this will be a little more interesting than the last."
As the captain spoke, Cain and Kali didn't react again. In their minds, they were appraising these men's strength.
'One that is eighth while the other is seventh, huh? Alright, this shouldn't take too long.'
Cain already sentenced these two men to death. Even if they didn't have the Kong Clan clothes on, these men still would've attempted to kill or enslave them.
That is simply how the rules work around the path of cultivation. And one that Cain didn't mind in the slightest.
At this time, Kali's lips curved up into a seemingly innocent smile.
It was like she didn't at all hear the captain's overt malicious tones and spoke with a genuine, curious manner.
"Shall we not dilly daily anymore? Just what do you two want from us? I'm assuming you would've already killed or enslaved us if you didn't specifically want something from us."
"Oh? So one does have a brain. She'll be an enjoyable ride." One of the captains cruelly spoke while brazenly running his malicious eyes up and down Kali's face. Beauty like this is hard to pass up.
"Before taking you in, we want you two to tell us if you saw another pair of brats similar to yourself. And don't try to lie; it'll be useless."
Instead of replying, Cain and Kali briefly glanced at each other. So they really were looking, and they didn't capture their face or identity!
If that is the case, the sibling duo both quickly assumed this Liang Tribe might pull out some desperate means to accurately trace them if all other avenues fail.
With this information in mind, a harsh glint shimmered within their eyes as they brightly smiled.
Turning back over to the captains, Cain and Kali made their final decision.
Without waiting any longer, the sibling duo promptly linked to their Qi seas and erupted their Draconic Auras!
'Zzzt!'
Thunderous streaks of Draconic Lightning perfectly blended in with bone-piercing freezing energy.
All at once, Cain and Kali's heavily dense auras shredded the captain's auras and wrapped them up in a vortex of true power!
"Th-this?!" Both Liang Tribe captains went utterly rigid.
A painful suffocating feeling clawed at their throats, their bodies felt incredibly sluggish, and bursts of cold sweat drained down their faces.
Just what was going on?
One second these youths exuded such weak Nascent auras. And suddenly, their powers dramatically increased to a point where it formed immense pressure on them!
But this was only the beginning of the nightmare.
Immediately when erupting their Draconic Auras, Cain and Kali shot straight towards the captains. Their speeds were a mere blur.
In a second, they tore right over 50 feet!
"You! Fuck of!!"
The captains could only barely react to all of this, hastily gathering as much as Nascent Qi they could, causing their silvery swords to become enshrouded in a harsh blue glow.
Relying purely on their danger instincts, the captains frantically swung down at Cain and Kali's Draconic cover fists!
'Bang!'
Powerful energy shockwaves razed everything for hundreds of meters.
"Arrg!!"
Out from the shockwaves, both captains were sent flying back as their miserable cries filled the air, blood spraying into the air.
Both captains felt their arms completely ruptured, and savage Nascent Qi energy rampaged their internal bodies. In one exchange, these high-level Nascent Formations masters suffered a tremendous loss!
And Cain and Kali didn't spare a single moment.
Their feet split open the ground as they violently stomped and blasted towards the captains.
Seeing Cain and Kali pounced on them like relentless beasts, the captain's pupils contracted.
With a bellowing roar, both captains erupted with all of their strengths!
'Hu~!'
Sizzling orange fire energy coated their swords as both captains slammed their feet into the grounds, forcefully stopping their momentum.
Raising their fire-coated swords high, ripples of Nascent Qi energy tore into the air.
"Flash Fi-"
'Pu~!'
Before the captains could even unleash their martial skills, a deathly pain in their chests caused both of them to freeze.
Both captains slowly looked down, and their eyes gradually widened in absolute horror.
Blood leaked down the captain's bodies as Cain and Kali ruthlessly tore their Draconic hands straight through their chests, piercing their hearts.
