Chapter 590 - Pierce Thorugh

Rean and Roan were cultivating on top of Kentucky while the others stayed inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. In their eyes, they had already left the danger zone, so they weren't paying much attention. Especially since Rean's camouflage skill was active while they flew.

However, little did they know that danger was approaching them at high speeds. Kentucky was quick at flying, definitely faster than cultivators at his level. He was a demon bird, after all. However, that was far from enough to outrun Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Jamil and Lucas also refrained from using Spiritual Sense and kept on using their Soul Power instead.

Sometime later, Jamil looked at Lucas before saying.

"They're pretty close, just two kilometers ahead. From what I can feel, they're flying at the moment."

Lucas looked in the distance. The weather was quite clean at the moment, but he couldn't see anything in the skies. It was completely empty.

"Are you sure? I can't see anything."

Jamil nodded in response.

"Believe me, they're there. Focus your Soul Power with mine so that you will know where to strike."

Lucas nodded, and soon, the two combined their Soul Powers.

"Now!"

Not long after, they shot forward as fast as they could. 

On Rean and Roan's side, they were focused on cultivating, not seeing the enemies approaching. Usually, they would feel the killing intent when it was directed at the two. However, Lucas and Jamil had no intention of killing, just capturing them. 

*Creeeee!*

Suddenly, Kentucky's cry reverberated in the twins' ears, which immediately woke them up from their trance. Rean and Roan might not have been paying attention until now, but Kentucky very much was. Seeing the enemy flying in his direction faster than himself, Kentucky didn't waste time as he called the twins. The good thing was that Kentucky knew how to control it with his Spiritual Sense, so only Rean and Roan heard it.

"What is it, Kentucky?"

Rean and Roan then followed Kentucky's eyes, and sure enough, they saw the two rays of light coming at them.

"They can see us!"

"Yes. Also, judging by their speed, they're definitely Nascent Soul Realm cultivators."

Rean and Roan immediately got up and brandished their swords.

"Should we go into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?"

Roan narrowed his eyes as he replied.

"The problem is that we're together. Once we enter it, we can only leave in the same place. If they don't go anywhere, we'll be sitting ducks."

Rean shook his head, trying to convince Roan.

"But they don't know that. We can simply wait for them to go away."

"That's not a good idea. Can't you see? They already found where we are and are heading straight for us. They obviously have some way of tracking us down. Entering the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm right now is way too risky."

"Then, what do we do? Get killed by them?"

"No. Look around. Can you see killing intent? They're not coming to kill us but to capture us instead. We can use that to our advantage."

Rean understood where Roan was coming from and asked what was on his mind.

"You want to take them by surprise and launch an attack?"

Roan nodded.

"Correct. I'm already sick of running into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. I didn't even want to come out of Fhanzen City to start with. This time, I will leave the Dimensional Realm as my last choice."

Rean sighed before nodding after that. He had to admit that always counting on the Dimensional Realm wouldn't be good for their progress. Rean then pondered for a bit, and soon, a playful smile appeared on his face.

"I have an idea."

All their conversation went through their Soul Connection, so it only took a few seconds for them to finish it.

Jamil and Lucas quickly approached when suddenly, they noticed the light around them changing. Following that, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky's figures appeared in their eyes. However, Kentucky was calmly flying forward as the twins sat on the Minokawa's back. The twins seemed to be concentrated in cultivation and didn't notice their presence from what they could see.

Immediately, Jamil and Lucas understood. Their camouflage skills only worked after a certain distance. If you were too close, you would be able to see them.

'A good chance!'

Without slowing even for a fraction of a second, Lucas and Jamil attacked, aiming to knock out the twins.

'Pay attention. They have some kind of cloning technique as well. If you feel that you didn't hit a real body, immediately retreat.'

Lucas nodded as both of them released their attack. It wasn't any kind of skill, just a hit with Spiritual Energy infused in it. However, Rean and Roan seemed to have noticed something and quickly looked at their backs.

"Too late, brats!"

*Bang, bang!*

Immediately, Rean and Roan tried to defend. However, they were hit by that formidable difference in cultivation, which made them and Kentucky plummet from the skies like a rocket. Blood splurted out their mouths as a few bones were broken straight away. Even Kentucky, with his high defense, felt the impact and lost the ability to fly.

As for Lucas and Jamil, their eyes lit up.

'They're the real ones!'

As fast as the twins fell from the sky, so were Lucas and Jamil in following them. Before they could even hit the ground, the twins were already captured by the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

"Hahaha! I want to see how you will escape now."

Following that, Lucas and Jamil used their Spiritual Energy to seal the twins' cultivation.

Roan then glared at them before asking.

"How... did you find us?"

Jamil snorted as he replied haughtily.

"Hmph! Puny humans who don't have Soul Power would never understand."

However, Roan didn't need an answer. That's because the twins quickly felt the presence of their own Dark and Light Elements inside Jamil's head. It was extremely faint, but it was there.

"I see... you Zasfin Race can use some technique that can use our lingering power to track us. Clever."

Jamil and Lucas were surprised that the twins could tell that.

"So you can feel it. Well, it's still too late for you now anyway. From now on, you are our slaves."

Rean and Roan looked at those two with anger in their eyes, which delighted Lucas and Jamil. As for Kentucky, they didn't think that demon bird would be able to do much anyway.

"Now, then. If you know what's good for you, tell us where the rest of your group is."

Rean and Roan nodded.

"The victor is the king, after all. They're right behind you."

Suddenly, Lucas and Jamil's blood froze, and two swords came out of literally nowhere. They were only able to feel it because they kept their Soul Power spread all the time. Still, they couldn't tell where they came from.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Even if Lucas and Jamil were an entire cultivation realm above them, such a point-blank attack was impossible to dodge. All they could do was use the entirety of their power to create a Spiritual Energy barrier behind their backs.

Unfortunately for them, those swords were none other than Rean's swords. Two pieces of equipment that had the power to even contend against a piece of Heaven Low-Level Equipment. A Spiritual Energy Barrier was far from enough to stop them.

*Swish, swish!*

Immediately, those two swords pierced through Jamil and Lucas' bodies.
