Chapter 40 - Nascent Missions

nA light smile crossed Cain's face watching Kali's overt eagerness. She always seems to have the most intriguing reactions.
nAt times she could be frighteningly mature and scheming. But at other times, she could display the pure sunshine a young maiden at her age could have.
nWith her bright, enchanting smile, shimmering eyes, and radiant aura, nobody would ever think this young girl wanted nothing more than to tear her beastly claws into any and all foes.
nHonestly, if this was before his transmigration, even Cain would've felt somewhat threaten by Kali's eager yet arrogant nature.
nBut as of now, he was only basking the heavenly feeling of power. As well as turning increasingly excited to test his limits in bloodshed combat.
nIt's been only days since his new life started, yet Cain realized he changed so much already.
nAnd really, he wouldn't have it any other way.
nAfter a few short moments, Cain and Kali simultaneously stood up. For a brief second, Cain thought about how technically, neither he nor Kali properly slept for hours.
nHowever, that truly didn't matter much since they were full of vibrant energy.
nLooking past any needs for rest, Cain then told Kali,
"Let's gather up what we can from this scatter room and then head out. Where we go doesn't matter as long we head directly into the Liang Tribe territory.
"
n
"Of course, of course….say, looking at the room now….
"
nAs Cain brought it to attention, Kali finally realized the damage caused to their room. Nearly everything was in a ruined, tattered state, looking as if two Spirit Opening cultivators fought here.
nBut among all the damage, Kali still spotted the essential items they needed.
n
"Who would've thought just our natural aura release would be so powerful? Or should I say, this is only to be expected from us? In any case, let's quickly clear this room out, brother.
"
n….
nHundred of miles deep within the far west side of the Misty Wilderness's Tribal Domain.
nIn this region, there was a noticeable lack of any life. Sparsely any cultivator came through here, and the ones who did soon made a heel turn out of this region.
nAs for the vicious beasts, barely any roamed about here. The only prominent beasts were of the smaller kind that wouldn't warrant any attention from most cultivators.
nThis specific region has one tremendous reason for its far eerie, quiet atmosphere.
nThat is, most everything here is controlled or related to the Liang Tribe!
nFor any rouge cultivator, this is terrifying news.
nUnless one's strength is sufficient and they have a party backing them up, nobody rouge dared to come here. After all, those cultivators would consider this a death decision or, worse, signing up for slavery.
nEven if one's a Nascent Formation master, it would still be considered foolish to come here.
nHowever, none of that haunting background intimidated two extraordinarily looking youths.
nThese two walk with an unfathomable air of confidence, as if they could handle any situation. Their eyes surged with a blazing fighting spirit, and yet, their natural auras were heavily restrained.
nOf course, these two youths could only be Cain and Kali. The sibling duo left the Kong Clan a while ago after collecting their mission.
nContrary to what Cain and Kali expected, the process went incredibly smooth.
nDespite being cooped in their room for hours, nobody bothers to question or get in their way. A few other Captains tossed their gazes on them in slight intrigue, but that was the extent it went.
nAlthough they had no reaction then, Cain was more than certain things would've significantly gone differently if he didn't conceal his and Kali's cultivation.
nWith each passing day, Cain's control over Chaos Energy grows. Even though he still couldn't advance from the 5% stage, he still refined his control over the smaller technique.
nNow, Cain could control their concealment to the point where he and Kali exuded a general strong Spirit Opening aura.
nNobody even considered the possibility they were hidden, Nascent Formation masters.
nAnd under this disguised, the sibling duo traveled far out into the Tribal Domain.
nWith their new powers, Cain and Kali's speed was monstrous. They effortlessly crossed dozens of miles of distance in no time.
nOnly when they were closely approaching their mission point, the sibling duo transition to only walking speed.
nEven as they approached so close to one of Liang Tribes' numerous campsites, no other cultivators or beast entered into their Qi Sense range.
nThe only presences Cain and Kali had detected for a few miles now were five powerful cultivators.
nAnd considering the route from their map, most obviously, this was a Liang Tribal group.
n
"Ok… .let's stop here for a moment.
"
nWhen Cain and Kali reached about half a mile from the group, Cain suddenly started to speak.
nAt his words, the sibling duo stopped and hid behind a relatively large tree. Kali then furrows her eyebrows, specifically concentrating on the varying powers of that Liang Tribe group.
nHer eyes lit up with a devious light after her senses swept through.
nShe then told Cain,
"So it seems like we were right about choosing this spot. One fourth level, one third level, and three first levels as our starting challenges for the Nascent Formation realm.
"
nSuddenly, Kali's slight grin quickly morphed into a full-on broad smile. Her smile was unnaturally wide, showcasing some of her pearly white yet dangerously sharp teeth.
nIt truly bears resemblances to a dangerous beast about to prey on its targets. This made for a direct enchanting contrast to Kali's naturally gorgeous, innocent looks.
n
"So, Cain, are you ready?
"
nSeeing Kali's intense expression didn't put off Cain at all.
nInitially, he wanted to stay calm and collected for their first Nascent Formation battle. After all, they are going against numerous foes at the same time.
nPlus, two of the men were above their levels!
nHowever, despite the apparent danger, the Dragon blood flowing through Cain couldn't be suppressed.
nHis whole bloodline rumbled with volcanic intensity, desperately wanting to be released from the shackles of his mortal body.
nAnd then, from purely on Cain's natural born instincts, a maddening wide grin, only equal towards Kali, split across his entire face. He simply said,
n
"Of course.
"
nThose words were all that needed to be said.
nAt the same time then, Cain and Kali rushed towards the Liang Tribe group, making sure to keep themselves hidden by dashing from large tree to large tree.
nWhen they were three hundred feet closer, the sibling duo stopped again.
nSneakingly peeking their heads out from the train they hid behind, Cain and Kali spotted two first-level Nascent Formation Liang Tribe members making rounds on the dirt round.
nThese Liang Tribe members wore their signature brown leather armor getup and also carried long silver swords strapped to their backs.
nEven though Cain and Kali were at such a close distance, neither Liang Tribe members took even a passing glance in their directions.
nRight then, Cain and Kali tossed a brief look at each other. An unspoken message was shared between them as their eyes exuded a chilling glow.
nAs if their minds were connected, Cain and Kali instantly circulated their Draconic Arts.
nBright Draconinc Lightning energy covered Cain's hand and chilling Draconinc Ice energy shrouded Kali's hand.
nMoving in perfect sync, the sibling duo then aimed their hands at the two Liang Tribe members and blasted two energy beams!
n'Hua!'
nDraconic Lightning and Draconic Ice shredded through the woods, emitting a profoundly dense aura wherever it traveled.
nA sudden increased spike of power burst throughout the area, alerting the Liang Tribe group.
nBut no matter how fast their senses were, Cain and Kali's energy beams were much faster.
n
"What?!?
"
nThe two first-level Liang Tribe members were utterly bewildered. Completely out of nowhere, a massively powerful aura locked right onto them!
nUnder this sudden power, both men felt tremendously suffocated. Cold sweat streamed down their foreheads as bone-chilling fear shivered up their spines.
nWithin that instance, the first-level Liang Tribe members only had a second to snap their attention to where this tremendous power was coming from.
nAnd as they did so, their pupils heavily dilated.
nThe last thing the two men would ever see was blinding flashes of intense blue rays.
n'Bang!'
nTwo loud, sickening bangs shook the entire area. Blood erupted like a fountain as two beheaded heads were tossed high into the air.
nIn just one sneak attack, Cain and Kali easily killed off two first-level Nascent Formations masters.
nImmediately, the ground shook as several booming voices shouted out into the area.
n
"An attack?! Has the Kong Clan finally lost?!
"
n
"It may be an attack but….where there hell are they?! I can't sense anyone else?!
"
n
"Wait-wait! Mo and Da?! They've both been killed!!
"
nAt this point, the remaining Liang Tribe members appeared just several feet away from Mo and Da's beheaded corpse.
nInitially, they heavily focused on finding the sudden attack culprit. But as the other first-level pointed out, the other Liang Tribe members concentrate on the corpses.
nSeeing their corpses, more specifically their beheaded heads, the Liang Tribe members felt goosebumps rise on their skins.
nWhatever hit Mo and Da wasn't any ordinary energy beam.
nMo's head was burnt to a horrifying crisp, showcasing charred meat, flesh, and bones. While Da's head was covered in a layer of chilling frost, looking like he was brutally frozen to death.
n
"This….
"
nNone of the Liang Tribe members knew what to say. Something that can instantly kill two Nascent Formation masters, even if they're only at the first level without being sensed, is no joke at all.
nAt that moment, their guards began to rapidly rise.
nHowever, before they could properly recovering from this shock, two dangerously powerful auras locked right onto them!
n
"Hm?!
"
nThe Liang Tribe members instinctively swiped out their swords, narrowing their gazes on their sudden attackers.
nBut as they tried to do so, the Liang Tribe member's eyes slightly widened.
nWhoever was coming was just too fast!
nThey could only catch a glimpse of a blinding blue flash before two figures suddenly appeared before them.
n
