Chapter 45: Total Destruction
Chapter 45: Total Destruction
The silence was utterly suffocating. It was like time itself stopped and the world completely frozen over.
None of the Liang Tribe members could believe their eyes. Each of them stared wide eyes with a horrifying rigid expression.
Just right ahead was their invincible Captain and Vice Captain’s corpses? The Captains whose prowess seems utterly unfathomable to all of them?
Yet they were somehow killed by these random youths….just how can anyone accept such a reality?!
Everyone thought it was just bad to some cruel joke or ludicrous nightmare.
However, no matter what they thought, the reality couldn’t be changed. Right under their noses, their almighty captains died within mere seconds. The Liang Tribe members had no other options but to accept this.
At the same time the Liang Tribe members tried to force past their shocks, Cain and Kali were quickly accessing the situation.
Great pain was stinging their hands, feeling like they had just dipped it into molten lava.
Any normal cultivator wouldn’t be able to keep their minds straight. Hell, any normal cultivator would’ve had their entire arms blown off from the blood essence attacks of a fifth and fourth-level Nascent Formation Master.
However, Cain and Kali were anything but average cultivators.
With their mighty Dragon Bodies, their physical defenses could forcefully tank that massive attack, leaving them with only a gash!
This also means Cain and Kali naturally had a higher pain tolerance. Both of them forcefully suppressed, focusing on the pain. With their adrenaline vigorously pumping, they know the battle isn’t over yet.
Doing an instant inspection over themselves, Cain and Kali sense they had around 70% left of their Nascent Qi.
They could also feel the drainage of Qi within their Qi Seed and Elemental sparks. Both were causing their bodies to feel slightly sluggish, and a bit strained.
Still, with what they had left, Cain and Kali had complete assurance in finishing this battle off.
Right then, their expressions turned deathly cold.
Their Killing intent once again erupted, permeating into the atmosphere, causing the air to plunge to the depths of a frosty hell.
“We already used so much energy; let’s finish this now!” As Cain spoke, his Draconic Lightning howled like a beast rising from its slumber!
Harsh streaks of Draconic Lightning flashed in the area, striking the ground and trees, burning anything it touched into crips.
“Right behind you, brother!” Precisely at the exact same time, Kali musters all of her strength as well.
Her Draconinc Ice aura emitted a freezing atmosphere that was almost as dangerous as Cain’s overwhelming power.
“What?!”
The rest of the Liang Tribe members were struck silly. All at once, this sudden crushing pressure warped their entire bodies!
Among the remaining members, there were three at the third level and only two at the second level of the Nascent Formation realm.
This line-up would typically be a tremendous force that no average duo of Nascent Formation cultivator can contend against.
However, against Cain and Kali, the powerful Draconic sibling duo, each Liang Tribe member felt tremendously sluggish.
They all could barely breathe, much less having the clear thoughts to calmly surge their Nascent Qi.
On pure fear instinctive alone, the Liang Tribe members all bellowed out, hastily gathering as much Nascent Qi they could within this split second.
However, just as they started to gather energy, the cold increased even more!
As if she was a ghost, Kali appeared right in the middle of the remaining Liang Tribe members.
Before anyone could react, her lips curved into a cold grin as she gathered all of her energy into a single point.
The center of her right palm!
A blinding Icy blue light sparkled from her palm, and Kali shouted out,
“Qi release!”
‘Hua~!’
In an instant, Kali’s Darconinc Ice Aura combusted into a Qi release explosion! The whole area was drowned in a blue flash as if the arctic had suddenly appeared.
A Qi release is one of the most barbaric moves any cultivator can do. It’s simply overloading one’s Qi energy at a single point in the body until it overflows, exploding into a chaotic energy blast!
While this move is incredibly destructive, it lacks true striking power compared to a singular concentrated attack.
However, what Kali desired wasn’t the killing off the Liang Tribe members in a single blow.
But to freeze them all because of the unique properties of her Draconic Ice energy! Compared to mere regular Ice energy, Kali’s Draconic Ice was at a level no one weaker on her level could ever hope to handle.
Such as with the case with remaining Liang Tribe members.
Draconic Ice energy wildly sprayed, engulfing trees in a layer of frost, and covered the remaining Liang Tribe members, almost immediately encasing them in blocks of Ice.
None of them even had a chance to shout.
And immediately when the Liang Tribe members were nearly entirely encased in blocks of Ice, Cain perfectly followed up, flashing right next to Kali.
In completely perfect sync, Kali crouched down while Cain raised his hands, forming a connecting Draconinc Lightning stream between them.
“Haah!”
Then, with a mighty battle cry, Cain swerves his body in a smooth 360 motion, unleashing a circular wave Draconinc Lightning stream!
‘Chi!’
Five beheaded heads covered in chilling frost soared high into the skies.
With absolute ease, Cain’s circular Draconinc Lightning energy wave tore through the Liang Tribe necks, killing them on the spot.
Because their bodies were already mostly frozen by Kali’s Draconic Ice, there wasn’t any glorifying sight of fresh blood or guts.
As the heads crashed to the ground with a soft thud, Cain and Kali finally took a breather.
“Huu….”
They both quietly sighed while recalling their Draconic Aura states. Upon doing so, a large wave of exhaustion overtook the sibling duo.
Sweat continually poured down their foreheads, and they felt a more significant strain slug their bodies.
“Now that….that was a battle. Those guys may not have thrown a clear strike, but we for sure had to use so much energy.” Kali spoke in little pants. At this point, she had around 20% of Qi energy left in her dantian.
This was the greatest exhaustion she ever felt in her life so far. Although, she also couldn’t keep off a satisfied grin from forming on her face.
“Indeed. Really, that could’ve been dangerous if we didn’t have the element of surprise.” Cain was already analyzing their fight. He had around 30% of Qi energy left, slightly more than Kali but still pretty tiring.
For a brief moment, Cain thought about the potential danger that could’ve happened during that fight.
‘Still, the main trouble would’ve come from those Captains. No way we could’ve killed them so quickly without the Emerald. As for those others….maybe if they were prepared, they could’ve drawn things out. But overall not really a threat to us. So at full capacity, I’m around fifth level prowess while Kali is at fourth.’
Throughout the entire time Cain was thinking to himself, his and Kali’s large bloody gash was regenerating at an amazingly quick pace. The searing pain from just minutes ago was already clearing up.
Kali was just about to bring up her own thoughts over the battle when suddenly her senses alerted to another presence within the campsite. Her attention quickly shifted to one of the smaller army tents.
Tilting her head at the tent, Kali began nudging Cain, breaking him from his thoughts and telling him,
“Say, you sense that too, right? I do believe that the supposed Kong Clan’s proud son.”
Turning his attention to the smaller army tent as well, Cain indeed perceived a weaker presence inside there.
Compared to the last Liang Tribe squadron they destroyed, the Kong Clan’s son was far weaker.
He wasn’t even a Nascent Formation master, only just at the peak of the Spirit Opening realm.
To nearly everyone inside the Kong Clan, a 15-year-old peak Spirit Opening genius would undoubtedly be their pride.
This kind of Martial Talent would allow him to quickly break through to the Nascent Formation realm in the near future.
But to Cain and Kali, they felt this Martial Talent was barely average.
Kali simply had a far better grasp over cultivation as a whole to know, while Cain simply went off Kali’s explanation.
At that moment, Cain could truly see a substantial difference between God Galaxies cultivators and Lower realm cultivators.
Still, despite their own thoughts, Cain shrugged while saying, “Come on, let’s go and greet the one this brazen tribe attached so much importance to. Perhaps we can find something useful.”
When he finished speaking, Cain began walking over. Kali only gave a similar causal shrug before following behind him.
Soon enough, the sibling duo swiftly entered the tent.
Once inside, Cain and Kali immediately spotted the Kong Clan’s son. He was chained up to the nearby chest as if he was truly a dog slave. His clothes were tattered, and grotesque scars were running down his face.
If one looks closely, they would be able to spot the remnants of a once young handsome youth. But the damage he suffered left him far too disfigured to say so.
And at the very instance, Cain and Kali stepped into the tent, the Kong Clan’s son immediately became incredibly tensed.
His eyes snapped over to the sibling duo, fear instantly surging within them.
Of course, he heard all of the commotion going outside, and he knows these two youths were the cause of all the Nascent Formations master deaths!
Even for how brave he is, the Kong Clan’s son shudders with absolute fear in the face of these two monsters in beautiful human clothes.
“Ju-just who are you two?! You-you can’t be from my Kong Clan!” The Kong Clan’s son spoke through his gritted teeth.
He, of course, recognized the sibling duo clothes. But he also couldn’t believe such monstrous powerhouses came from his clan.
At that moment, Cain stepped up to answer the Kong Clan’s son’s answer.
