Death… and me

Chapter 526: Almost Crying

It was then that Jana thought about something.

“Wait! Are you doing this so that the distance between both races becomes smaller?”

Rean grinned after hearing that.

“It’s a good thing that you understand! Aren’t you guys looking to negotiate? Obviously, you’ll have to get used to living with them sooner or later. This natural formation here wherein both sides can’t go out just so happens to be an incredibly beneficial opportunity.”

Xila immediately shook his head in response. He obviously didn’t want the two sides to be amicable with each other at all.

“Totally out of the question. You will heal everyone while we keep your friends over there locked somewhere far away from us.”

Roan glanced at Xila and said.

“You’re quite annoying, aren’t you? Can’t you just shut your fucking mouth for a bit? It’s not like no one will forget you’re here.”

Xila almost exploded when he heard that.

“You…! Do you wanna die?!”

However, the harsh words weren’t over.

“Roan, don’t say something like that. When you get as old as poor elder Xila, your mind starts to become muddled. It’s not his fault that he keeps acting like a crippled old man. You need to be more respectful in front of the elderly.”

Roan pretended to think about Rean’s words before nodding.

“Indeed. At the old geezer’s age, it wouldn’t be a good thing to make his mood go all over the place that often. I don’t want to be held responsible if he gets a stroke.”

“Exactly! He probably can’t even get his little friend up anymore, so acting like that is the only thing he can do now. It’s totally understandable. I would also be mad all the time if I couldn’t do that anymore.”

*pffft*

Several small chuckles came from everywhere. Some felt that it was ridiculous how Rean and Roan dared to say that in front of Elder Xila’s face. However, it was that courage that made things look funny. Even Elder Xila’s own race members, including a few of the high-level cultivators, had to do their best to try and not laugh there.

Xila, of course, couldn’t take it anymore.

“Aggghhhhh! I’ll kill you!”

He charged at the twins at full speed, his killing intent at its peak.

‘Titan Strike!’

Seeing that attack coming in her direction made Jana bitterly smile in response. However, she didn’t try to protect the twins as she immediately jumped back. After all, Xila was truly going all out to get rid of the twins. Trying to stop that attack would be dangerous, even for her.

Naturally, anyone close to them also got as far away from the two as possible. However, Xila was a Saint Realm expert. Those low-level cultivators from the Lakure Race weren’t as fast as Jana.

*Boom!*

Everyone close to the strike was sent flying with varying degrees of injuries on their bodies. Nevertheless, they were pretty lucky to survive since Xila had only targeted the twins.

Jana, obviously, had an ugly expression when she looked at the aftermath.

“Xila! Is that how an elder of the Lakure Race should act?”

“Shut up! They deserve it!”

However, Rean and Roan’s body, which Xila struck, began to turn into specks of White and Dark light. Sure enough, those were just clones they had created. At the same time, the twins’ voice came from another area filled with the Lakure Race members.

“See? I told you to be more respectable in front of poor Elder Xila. Look at what you’ve done. Even their fellow Lakure Race members got involved in it.”

In an instant, everyone looked in the direction of the voices. Once again, the Lakure Race members walked out of the group as they looked at Xila and Jana. Not long after, their bodies began to transform once again until finally, they returned to their original appearances.

“How is that even possible?!”

Xila couldn’t believe it. This time, he made sure to lock his Spiritual Sense on the twins. As far as he could see, they were the real deal. However, it was obvious that what he attacked just now were clones again. The twins’ clones were simply perfect! 

In actuality, that Rean and Roan had never been the real ones to start with. They used Mirage Assault and controlled the clones from inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. With Sister Orb’s help, it wasn’t anything hard to do. Of course, they wouldn’t be able to do things like a battle with their clones alone. That’s because their connection with the clones was very faint. After all, they weren’t in the same dimension. Not to mention that there was a delay in their response when communicating with them from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If Rean and Roan really tried to fight someone like that, their clones would be wiped out before they even found out they were attacked.

Jana then arrived beside Xila before saying.

“They’re purposely provoking you. However, you’re also at fault here since you always refuse everything. I guess even those kids began to become annoyed with your attitude. Look around.”

Xila was taken aback and finally paid attention to the Lakure Race members that he had injured. Of course, that only made him hate the twins even more. However, just as he was about to accuse the twins that he was being forced to do that, Rean and Roan’s voice came from another direction once more. This time, they were with the injured members of the Lakure Race.

“Sorry, everyone. That was our fault. We didn’t expect that a Saint Realm expert would act like that. Of course, you don’t need to worry. We will heal you up right away.”

Roan snorted in response to Rean’s words.

“What are you talking about? We didn’t attack at all. If the old geezer can’t endure a few jokes, how is that our fault?”

Rean and Roan then put their hands on the shoulders of the Lakure Race members.

‘Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.’

“Of course, it’s our fault. We should have counted Elder Xila’s power before saying that. He’s old. We need to be careful.”

‘Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.’

“Hmph! Then they shouldn’t have made him an elder to start with.”

‘Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.’

“Now, now. That’s not something we can decide on. That’s something for the Lakure Race members to discuss.”

‘Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.’

Rean and Roan walked from member to member while talking with each other. However, they weren’t silent at all, so everyone could hear the content. By now, Elder Xila was already on the verge of crying.
