The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 21: Frontal Clash

In an instant, Cain and Kali stimulated their Spirit Qi to their max potential. Waves of power filled the sibling duo’s bodies, pushing them well beyond the limits of an average 4th and 3rd level Spirit Opening Cultivator.

At that moment, the two black fur bears were only fifty feet away from them.

And right then, Cain and Kali tensed their bodies and blasted off towards the enormous bear beast!

‘Hua!’

From behind Cain and Kali, two small craters burst on the ground. Dust swayed in the wind in the wake of Cain and Kali’s immense speed.

Cain was undoubtedly faster, soaring right through the woods, nearing just fifteen feet away from the bear on the left within mere seconds.

In that instance, the black fur bear felt its survival instincts frantically roar like thunderous drums. Then, with only a split to react, the beast swung its enormous palm straight at the rapidly approaching Cain.

From all around Cain, he felt the air pressure increased as the bear’s Spirit Qi energy condensed and amplified inside its massive palm.

If this was any other fourth-level Spirit Opening cultivator, they wouldn’t even try getting close to this dangerous beast, much less rushing at it head-on.

Even for Cain, he could see there was another possibility he could have taken this battle.

However, charging head-on, clashing his strong body with this vicious beast was the only option that felt right to Cain.

Without any fear at all and indescribable power running through his body, Cain struck his fist out, directly clashing against the black fur bear’s palm!

‘Bang, Bang!’

Two ear-splitting impacts reverberated in the woods.

Blood, flesh, and black fur sprayed in the air as the two black fur bears were sent flying back like a cannonball. They soared thirty feet away, violently crashing onto the ground with mutilated palms.

‘Just as powerful….’ Cain slightly quirked his eyebrows at the other black fur bear’s state.

Even though she has a slower cultivation speed, it seems his dear sister’s strength is no less than his.

Smirking more to himself, Cain kept his eyes glued on the down black fur bears. And just when he was about to take a step forward, both bears immediately sprang back up to their massive hind legs.

Their crimson eyes were now wholly bloodshot, pools of foams streamed from their mouth, showcasing a furious state.

An overflow of feral Killing Intent locked on to Cain and Kali as the black fur bear forcefully pushed through the immense pain stinging their arms.

A wave of savage Killing Intent washed over Cain and Kali like a waterfall. But instead of worrying over this horrifying sensation, the smiles on the sibling duo faced only grew wider.

However, right as they were about to launch another crushing attack, the black fur bears snapped their terrifying mouths wide open.

“RWAA!!”

At the same time, both vicious beasts unleashed mighty roars!

The wind crazily picked up as if there was an approaching storm, trees were getting knocked over, and even slight cracks formed in the ground.

“Nng!! Good show! But not enough, let’s finish this, brother!” Kali’s excited voice cut through the ferocious wind.

In the face of both black fur bear’s powerful roars, Cain and Kali easily stood their ground.

At most, they only felt it was a little harder to breathe. But, with just this amount of air pressure, it couldn’t affect the sibling duo combat prowess at all.

Tensing his legs once again, Cain crouched before springing right off the ground. He once again left a crater and dust in the wake of his incredible speed.

Cain felt like he was in the clouds as his jumps quickly reached well over twenty feet in the air!

While in midair, Cain also correctly adjusted his body, pushing his knee out, aiming it directly at the beast he attacked before.

At the speed he was going, the black fur bear had no way to react.

The beast could only forcefully shut down its mighty roar and attempt to move its palms up to defend its face. However, the black fur bear was just a step too slow.

Right as its palm made it to its neck, Cain’s flying knee was mere inches from its massive skull.

‘Chi!’

Like the beast’s head was made up of fragile glass, Cain shattered it into gory bits and pieces. A fountain of blood gushed out of its’ mutilated flesh of a head, spraying high into the sky.

Now, the black fur bear’s head was just a mess of scattered flesh, brain matter, and shattered bones.

Cain landed a few feet on the other side of the bear, and as his feet touched the ground, he heard a loud, sickening thump from just behind him.

Then, only a couple seconds after he heard one sickening thump, another loudly echoed out in the woods.

Standing straight up, Cain slowly turned around to obverse the aftermath.

His gaze remained entirely indifferent at the spine-chilling sight before him. At his feet was the mutilated head of the black fur beast. No signs of life could be sensed from this vicious beast anymore.

Silence quickly returned to the woods.

Truthfully, for Cain, this is his very first time hunting animals and seeing a gory site in person.

Cain initially assumed he would’ve felt at least some type of way seeing so much blood and gore.

But as he stared at the bear’s corpse, Cain truly felt nothing. The only thing rummaging in his mind was seeing what other kinds of blood-pumping fights he could get into.

‘In any case, I will be seeing more bloodshed than this in my journey. Glad I don’t have to deal with anything unnecessary.’

Cain wasn’t sure if his line of thinking was falling under more cruelty, but he really didn’t care much. After all, the quicker he can adapt to this universe, the safer his….and his sister’s life would be.

Upon subconsciously thinking about her, Cain tossed his gaze over at the second black fur bear.

And instead of the abundance of gore he caused, Kali had decided to make her killing move simple.

A hand-shaped hole where the beast’s heart was exactly located had appeared. Blood continually flowed out of the hole and right on top of the bear’s corpse was its now dead heart.

“Ehh, hehe~.”

Kali’s slightly sheepish giggles attracted Cain’s attention back to her. She was rubbing her long luscious hair as she continued on to say, “Truly, we’re too powerful for anything in the early levels. Plus, our Spirit Qi control is basically perfect already. So I guess we should just focus on cultivating. To think, I’m already underestimating our talent and the Dragon Charms.”

“Well, at least this was a good fighting experience. I feel much refreshed after this fight.” Even after the fight, Cain still felt his blood pumping, roaring to fight once again.

The sentiment was shared with Kali as she stretched out her neck, popping a few slight kinks. “Indeed, that fight did get my blood running. Truly can’t wait to see what else this Mortal Planet has to offer. But for now, shall we just go back to cultivating? Cause honestly, we’re still very limited with what we can do while in the Spirit Opening realm.”

“Yea, we should. It’s always better to know when to stop.” Cain readily agreed.

Then, without any further delay, Cain and Kali began walking back towards their cave.

Because of their impeccable memory, the sibling duo had a smooth time navigating the woods.

A comfortable silence lingered between the sibling duo as they traversed the woods.

And soon enough, ten minutes passed.

At this point in their walk, neither Cain nor Kali thought some other beast would try to kill them.

But, right as they made it halfway towards their cave, the sibling duo abruptly stopped, their expressions morphing from relaxed to slightly serious.

Completely out of nowhere, they perceived a strange sensation from their Soul Sense. It felt like numerous eyes were watching them from afar.

‘So somebody is following us, huh?’ Cain and Kali had the exact same thoughts.

The sibling duo wasn’t naive enough to brush off this passing feeling. Not only do they not know anything about the place they’re in, but they also could fathom that any human or beast is hiddenly lying within these woods.

Unfortunately, though, neither Cain nor Kali had the ability to scout presences that far away from them.

At most, the range Cain’s Soul Senses could cover was up to 90 meters. While Kali was less, covering 70 meters. Still, even if they couldn’t precisely sense who’s there, they could detect hostility being directed on their backs.

At this moment, Cain quickly wrapped his mind on the options they should take.

Whoever that was watching gave Cain a better sense of danger than any of the previous vicious beasts. But it wasn’t to a point where he thinks they would need to run away.

Right as Cain balances the pro and cons of entering an unknown fight, Kali subtly nudges his shoulders. Then, looking over at her, Kali silently signals with her hands to just keep walking.

Her face had a calm, confident smile, as if she felt no danger at all.

Cain had a few questions pop into his mind. But, he didn’t choose to raise any disagreement or make any obvious actions.

He simply flashed the same kind of smile back to Kali, and then they continued back walking.

And as they continued to walk, the sensation of being gazed upon never let up.

Cain and Kali, however, never lost their calm stride. During their walk, they both came to two swift conclusions.

First, if the people following them were powerful, they wouldn’t choose to sneakily tail them at all. There wasn’t a law or rule holding people back from controlling the weak, so the possibility that this was someone overly powerful was nearly null.

And their other conclusion was that if it did come down to blows, the sibling duo had absolute faith in each other that they could win.

Their previous fights gave them both a massive load of confidence. If it’s someone on their level, neither Cain nor Kali believed they would lose.

But since it seemed like the ones following still had no intention to make themselves known, Cain and Kali leisurely continued on to their cave.
