Chapter 91: Lazy Silver
Chapter 91: Lazy Silver
At this time within the Demonic Area, violent tremors occasionally quiver the earth. Strong shockwaves ripple the air, significantly raising the temperature and wreaking havoc in the environment.
The energy recklessly blaring out was exceedingly powerful.
If any average Mid-rank Nascent Formation cultivator were to accidentally get close here, the mere shockwaves would brutally crash into their bodies, knocking them right off their feet.
Any Spirit Opening cultivator wouldn’t be able to put a single bit of defense. The shockwaves would drill into their internal bodies and split their organs apart.
As of now, this part of the Demonic Area has become utterly terrifying.
Even the Vicious Beasts dared not to tread this area. One would expect that any sane weaker cultivator would already flee far away from here.
However, two shadows fearlessly zigzagged through the trees.
These two barely made any noise as they ran. Their steps almost seem weightless, calculating how much force they should apply to their feet.
With precise movement like this, it was a surprise to see their speed was still at a constant rate.
This duo was like breezeless shadows soaring right with the chaotic current of the winds.
Of course, this daring pair was none other than Cain and Kali. As of now, Cain has already applied Chaotic Concealment on himself and Kali.
They had no fear about getting sensed at all from either Profound Soul experts. Although, this didn’t mean it negated the considerable amount of pressure they had to bear with.
Though their abilities grant them partial immunity, neither Cain nor Kali got overconfident for even a moment.
Their expression retained the utmost focus as they perceived the Profound Soul experts’ every movement.
They didn’t need to put their concentration on anywhere else. The energy ripples shockwaves couldn’t affect them at all. Cain and Kali simply stimulated their Qi Sea into a passive state, allowing their body defenses to enhance significantly.
All shockwaves simply bounced off their incomparably tough bodies.
Soon enough, Cain and Kali arrived several dozens of meters from the center of the shockwaves.
In that instance, Cain promptly grasps Kali’s shoulder, slowing their speed down to a crawl.
As they slowed down, the sibling duo didn’t even have to look at each other. Their thoughts were in complete tune with each other.
Simultaneously, their eyes snapped over to large blossoming bushes, rushing over to it with swift speeds.
Upon entering the bush, Cain and Kali calmed their breathings. They virtually became invisible, emitting zero noises, perfectly resembling statues.
At that moment, Cain and Kali were planning to obverse the action.
However, right as their eyes peaked out of the bushes, a shadow suddenly flew right over them!
‘What?’
Both Cain and Kali nearly muttered their confusions. They didn’t even have a chance to perceive that Profound Soul expert sailing to them!
Before they could think further, a loud impact struck right into their ears. And along with noise, a voice suddenly spoke out.
‘Bang!’
“Nn….what a stubborn little beast. Hah~. How troublesome.”
A soft woman’s voice sounded into the area as she violently struck the tree.
The tone of this woman confused Cain and Kali. Wasn’t she just heavily struck and is currently in a life-or-death battle?
Shouldn’t there be far more urgency in her voice or at least some kind of worry?
Cain and Kali believed that would be the appropriate reaction. However, all the sibling duo could hear in that tone was laziness, bordering near on lethargicness.
Her tone sounded so casual, as if she was either entirely in control of this situation or genuinely didn’t care about her life at all.
Their journey hasn’t been long, but the sibling duo has already witnessed various personality types and mannerisms.
Barely were there one that could even spark a faint interest for them.
That is until now.
Cain and even the ordinarily indifferent Kali felt a rise of genuine interest on who could be so lazy about facing death.
This couldn’t count as simply being calm. Calmness is about accessing a situation with no way of emotions, having the ability to choose the perfect option.
Laziness just shows this person doesn’t care in the slightest. No fear, no panic, or even an eager motivation to face a tough battle for the thrill of a fight.
Such a person, Cain, and Kali just had to see who it was.
In that instance, the sibling duo shifted their position and peek out on the other side of the bush.
Upon doing so, their eyes immediately narrowed on a lone figure slumped against a tree just dozens of meters away from them.
Most cultivators can craft an innate beauty because of the Heaven and Earth energy infused into the various forms of Qi energy. Seeing any type of decently looking person was a basic norm in this universe.
But even considering this, the young woman slumped against the tree held a striking appearance that Cain and Kali genuinely admitted was slightly distinct.
This young woman was in a slightly battered state; several patches of blood stained her Crimson Sea Academy uniform, and there were a few tears in her fabric.
However, her slightly damaged state only added to her unique charm.
Down to her beautiful face that emitted a captivating, bewitching aura that’s similar to staring into a rising moon. It held a naturally calming grace.
Her eyes were a sparkling ruby-red, shining more brilliantly than even the most lustrous of finely crafted jewels. Matching the sparkling hue of her eyes was her flowingly long silver hair that neatly swept right down to her curvaceous waist.
Her silvery hair carried a hypnotic glow, emitting a lustrous charm.
Perfectly accentuating all of her beauty was the near lethargic expression plastering her entire face. She seemed so casual and tired, almost like a graceful sleeping princess.
Her beauty was evidently distinct but wasn’t overbearing at all. Her expression inscribed all those looking at her with a sense of incomparable ease, making her seem easy to approach.
Gazing upon this young maiden, neither Cain nor Kali felt enraptured or star-struck like many others would feel upon first looks.
But they did feel a legitimate interest to talk to her purely out of that lazy expression.
Before Cain or Kali could think of their next moves, another presence rapidly approached their area.
‘Rwaa!!’
A bestial roar blared out. This roar was virtually demonic. It could easily shake the flimsy will of any weak Martial Hearts.
“Oh, hum~. You’ve finally got to me.” The silver-haired beauty only tossed a casual gaze at a rapidly approaching beast.
The beast in question was nearly over fifteen feet tall, had putrid green skin coloring, a ferocious-looking face, and two long sharp teeth protruding out from its mouth.
In its right hand was an enormous club over seven feet long. The club seemed like it was made up of the antique trees around this jungle and was stained with fresh crimson blood.
When Cain snapped his gaze over to this beast, he widened his eyes in surprise.
‘To think I would see it in real life. An actual orge! And they looked even more disgusting than anything over the internet. Still, at least this will be easy for us.’
Barring past the Demonic Orge rancid look, Cain took particular notice of the beast’s battle damage. It was far more battered up than the silver-haired beauty.
Dark red blood continuously flowed out of numerous large gashes, showcasing its putrid flesh and organs to the world.
Its eyes glossed over in feral rage, having zero semblance of any sanity. All that on its mind was pure Killing Intent.
The Demonic Orge was ignoring all of its injuries as it crazily barrelled down towards the silver-haired beauty.
In this instance, the silver-haired beauty only slowly stood up. She moved so slow that it appeared like the act of having to stand was a bit troublesome to do.
Not because she was injured. But rather, she preferred to sit as it was a bit more comfortable than standing.
“Let’s see….running low on energy. Probably have enough for a couple attacks. Gotta make this count then….”
The silvery-haired beauty casually leaned back on the tree. It was finally then that her eyes flashed with a rare instance of serious Killing Intent. At that moment, she was just about to unleash one of her final moves.
But before she could even gather her energy, two shockingly powerful auras swept through the entire area!
“Wh-what?” A change of expression finally crossed the silver-haired beauty’s face.
She was shocked to her core, unintentionally staying rooted in her spot. But the beauty had no time to register anything.
Streaks of blue Lightning energy whirled, and a freezing atmosphere dramatically dropped the temperature.
“Draconic Lightning Claw!”
“Draconic Ice Claw!”
Cain and Kali raised guttural battle cries at the same time. Immense power overflowed through their bodies as Qi, Astral, and Spirit Energy gathered into a single point in their palms.
Then, within the split moment their powerful Auras swept out, Cain and Kali attack!
‘Ca!’
An enormous Draconinc Lightning Claw blasted out from Cain’s palm. While a massive Draconinc Ice Claw gushed out from Kali’s palm.
All in an instant, double powerful Draconic might spread out and locked right onto the Demonic Orge!
The Demonic Orge froze in utter shock. Even in its feral state, it could sense power like no other soar straight at it. The beast snapped its head to its right side, wanting to dodge out of the way.
However, upon immediately turning around, it was already too late.
A majestic Draconinc Lightning Claw and a majestic Draconinc Ice Claw crashed right onto its enormous body!
‘Bang!’
‘Arrg!!’
The Demonic Orge released a wailing cry of anguish as the dual Draconinc Lightning, and Ice Claw blasted it faraway.
Powerful energy recklessly tore into its body, shredding its innate defense and protective Profound Soul Aura!
This was an attack full of Cain and Kali’s full strength. They used everything in their arsenal, empowering their Martial Skills by several times.
And attacking together, the density of their prowess managed to eclipse a weak Early Stage Profound Soul Powerhouse!
Furthermore, as the Demonic Orge was caught entirely off-guard, it had no way to put up any proper defense.
Its blood flowed out like a fountain, its organs splattered out, and its large bones spread all out as it was sent flying like a withered leaf.
“Huu~?”
The silver-haired beauty blinks her eyes once. Then instantly afterward, her expression settled back into her previous lethargic face. Evidently, she can get over shock within a flash.
Her eyes then snapped over to her right and caught the forms of Cain and Kali leaving out of their bush.
As their eyes locked, a moment of silence fell between them. Within this moment, their gazes intently locked on to each other. Or more specifically, Cain and the silver-haired girl locked eyes.
However, the silence didn’t last for even another moment when the silver-haired beauty called out to them.
“Hey….you save me. Thanks a lot. I’m just getting so many surprises today.”
This young woman’s tone was sweet, almost melodically calming to listen to. At the same time, she still sounded so causal, having zero traces of shock or surprise.
Cain and Kali curled their brows. With intrigue filling his own tone, Cain said, “Don’t mention it. Though, aren’t you a little bit too calm for your current situation?”
“Mnh? Am I? Maybe….but I like being like this. It’s too troublesome to stress out anyways.” The silver-haired girl lazily shrugged.
Before she could continue talking, a slight tremor shook the ground.
“Gaa!!”
The Demonic Orge bestial roar cut through the air once again. Even after taking tremendous damage, the beast was back on its feet, killing intent ferociously blazing in its eyes.
“My, my. This thing is so persistent, right?” The silver-haired girl wryly shook her head.
“But with that attack, at least now, I can easily finish it off. Say, you two can still shoot out for another attack, right? If not, then it’s fine.”
