Death… And Me

Chapter 1317 - Dodge!

Of course, Reanʼs group knew that even though they were at the outskirts of the Lost Star Realm, they shouldnʼt let their guards down. Thatʼs especially because this was the place with the most cultivators. They passed by many groups and lonely cultivators along the way during the next few days, and they would definitely come across many more.

Also, Rean and Roan werenʼt using their Light and Divine Sense bending skill as they preferred to spend their time cultivating. With that being said, those cultivators obviously saw the big black and white demon beast flying past them. Most of them simply ignored Kentucky since the majority were in the same realm or below Reanʼs group.

However, there was bound to be someone who didnʼt, and that someone appeared not too long after.

Kentucky was flying at his normal speed when suddenly, a streak of red light came from below, aiming to strike his belly.

*Creee!*

Kentuckyʼs Divine Energy immediately spread through his feathers, turning then as hard as metal. At the same time, he spun his body, throwing Reanʼs group off his back while using his wings to deflect the incoming attack.

*Bang!*

The strength of the attack made Kentucky lose some of his balance, which forced him to land. After all, he was flying very close to the ground.

As Rean, Roan, and Hurio were flying on his back, they landed somewhat close to where Kentucky did. When Kentucky spun his body, he purposely threw Reanʼs group off where he believed he would be stopping. Itʼs just that he didnʼt expect the attack to be strong enough to make him land there. Well, Kentucky didnʼt suffer any damage, though. ʼRean, Roan, this guy is definitely in the Elemental Transformation Realm.ʼ

The twins nodded as they waited to see who attacked them. Sure enough, a group of five cultivators appeared a moment later as one of them laughed out loud. ”Hahaha! See? I told you we would find one very quickly.”

The leader of the group was a big man with some scales on his arm. Obviously, not human. The other people in his group had the same feature, showing that they came from the same race. ”Indeed. Who was it that said we should travel by foot so that we could look for medicines? After two months, we found next to nothing in this place. We need to head in much deeper. It was you, wasnʼt it, Tuke?”

”Did I say something like that?” The guy who was mentioned pretended to be surprised. ”I donʼt remember anything at all.”

It was obvious that no one in that group took Reanʼs team seriously. However, even though they were talking to each other in such a careless manner, their eyes were totally fixed on Kentucky, the twins, and Hurio. They werenʼt about to let them flee anytime soon. Eventually, the leader of their group, a guy in the Late Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm, redirected his voice to them.

”Whoʼs the master of this flying demon beast?”

Rean smiled as if he didnʼt care. ”That would be me. Why?” In fact, neither Rean nor Roan could be said to be Kentuckyʼs master. But for all intents and purposes, they decided to do it that way a long time ago. If anyone asked, Rean would answer.

Seeing that Rean didnʼt look the least bit scared surprised the guy. In fact, Roan also looked at them in a nonchalant manner. As for the twins, the surprising thing was that Hurio, who was in the Late Stage of the Saint Realm, didnʼt seem too worried about the situation either.

Nevertheless, the big man recomposed himself. He was an entire realm above the twins and Hurio. The same could be said about Kentucky. Besides, he wasnʼt the only Elemental Transformation Realm in his group. The other four were also in the same realm, albeit in the Initial Stage. ”So youʼre the master, huh? Very well. Iʼm Caras. Weʼre traveling deeper into the Lost Star Realm. We will be borrowing your flying demon beast, and you will control it for us. If you play nicely, we will let you go in the end.”

Rean laughed out loud in response. ”Hahaha! Me, bring you together? If you had asked nicely, I might have thought about your proposal. But now, you can forget about it.” Rean then turned around, preparing to head back to Kentucky. At the same time, he warned the guyʼs group, saying, ”For your own good, you and your friends will leave this place now. Donʼt say I didnʼt tell you later.”

”Tch...” Roan didnʼt like Reanʼs words. It was obvious that he wanted the guys to attack. But since Rean already said that, Roan also turned around, preparing to leave with Kentucky. Hurio did the same thing as the two, also surprised that the twins didnʼt seem concerned with the situation, just like himself.

Caras was taken aback after hearing that. He didnʼt expect that some Saint Realm ants would treat him as if he was nothing. ”Courting death!”

Fire Element gathered around his body as his sword flashed with red light for a moment.

ʼFlying Ardent Blade!ʼ

That was the same attack that forced Kentucky to land. It traveled quickly, aiming to take Roanʼs life. Since Rean was the master, he had no need for Roan, so his death would serve as a warning to Rean.

However, Roan faintly smiled as his White Scythe appeared in his hand. ”Playing with flying attacks? Great! I can play like that as well!”

ʼLife Style, Enhancement!ʼ

ʼDeath Style, Crescent Moon!ʼ

Roanʼs hair didnʼt even change. However, a flying white and black wave of energy was sent against the guyʼs Flying Ardent Blade.

Both attacks were sent almost at the same time. However, the Flying Ardent Blade was a vertical attack, while Roanʼs Crescent Moon was horizontal. Of course, the white spots in Roanʼs Crescent Moon were the Light Element gathered with the scytheʼs Light Element Gathering ability.

What happened next left Caras dumbstruck. He expected his attack to destroyʼs Roanʼs attack and pass right through. At the very least, an explosion of Divine Energy and Soul Power should have come out, eliminating both attacks. However, Roanʼs Crescent Moon cut through his Flying Ardent Blade like a hot knife cutting through butter.

”What?!”

They werenʼt at the same level at all. Caras was very experienced, though, so he immediately gave the order when he saw that he had lost in that exchange. ”Dodge!”
