Chapter 44 - Ambush

n

n

nIn the southern part of the Tribal's Domain Misty Wilderness, there was many Liang Trib's army campsites.

nEach army campsites at least holds peak Spirit Opening captains, though many simply had Nascent Formations powerhouses.

nThis was a testament to their strength and showcasing their control over all of their rivaling powers.

nNo rouge cultivator would ever be foolish to tread around here. Nor would any members from rivaling powers dare to start an attack unless they had absolute confidence. Such reckless actions would only lead to either death or cruel enslavement.

nWithin one of these Liang Trib's army campsites, the powerhouses here outstrips most other bases.

nThis particular army campsite is very important to the Liang Tribe. For as they hold the Kong Clan's leader one and only son!

nUndoubtedly, if this news were to leak out, the war would erupt into complete chaos.

nEven as the Kong Clan is slightly weaker, the Liang Tribe were more than aware to not chase down a cornered rat. Some small creatures can combust with incredible strength if pushed too far.

nIt's why as of now, the Kong Clan's genius is tightly secured away with several powerful Nascent Formations masters.

nInside a specific tent within the campsite, the Captain and vice-captain gathered here.

nThese were two men who emitted a natural aura far superior to any other previous Nascent Formations members Cain and Kali faced.

nBoth men were dressed in the Liang Tribe signature brown leather outfits as well. Although, there were some distinct small changes between them.

nThe head Captian's armors were of the utmost high quality. Compared to most low-level armors, the leader had natural energies coursing through it. Thus, even if a first-level Nascent Formation cultivator were to strike him, that armor would greatly help fend off damage.

nAs for the vice-captain, his armor was at slightly lower quality. While not on a great level like the Captain, it was certainly better than any other armor a first-level Nascent Formation captain can get.

nJust from appearances alone, anyone can guess their status. And within both men's eyes, there was a stringing air of absolute arrogance, boldly displaying their might to anyone that would interact with them.

nCurrently, the Captain and vice-captain were overlooking a detailed map on a desk.

nInitially, they didn't have much thought about it after their subordinates came running in with news to report.

nBut seconds after reading, the disdain in their eyes grew even more.

n

"What utter rubbish! How could any mere Kong Clan's squadron wipe off any of our campsites.

" The Captain was furious.

nAfter all, it was utterly ridiculous to hear that a squadron of powerful Nascent Formations was wiped off so easily!

nNo matter if the Kong Clan were to mobilize a large group, it was absolutely impossible to kill several Nascent Formations masters all at once.

nWith their repeated clashes against that clan, the Liang Tribe's captains had a decent estimate of the Kong Clan's strength.

nAnd this showcase of power goes far beyond their intel.

n

"No, I doubt that this is the Kong Clan doing at all. My guess is that those rats are finally paying a great deal of wealth to enlist help from Azure Lightning City. In there, powerhouses are common as cabbages.

"

nThe Vice-captain assumed, already believing his guess to be correct. Besides this explanation, he saw no other reasonable excuse.

nA slight shudder streaked his body at this thought. If people really from that place come, it'll be a whole new can of worms for them to worry about.

nEven for as arrogant the Captain was, he also couldn't suppress the twinge of bubbling fear.

nA cold glint flashed within his eyes as his mind quickly worked for a solution.

"This most likely, no, it has to be true. And if it's like this, then we'll need to speed up our plans to take everything from there.

"

n

"Hmph. It was inevitable anyway, no point in delaying things anymore.

" The vice-captain quickly agreed, his killing intent slowly surging like a cold stream.

nAt that moment, both captains were just about to contact their higher-ups.

nBut suddenly, a bright green flash engulfed their entire tent!

n

"What?!

"

nBoth Captains were immensely shocked. They tried to take out their weapons for battle but abruptly froze midway.

nTheir breathings hitched as a sense of crisis erupted within them.

nIn the exact same moment the green flash appeared, two overwhelming energies released like a chaotic vortex of powers, locking right on to them!

nFurthermore, the temperature dropped to bone-piercing level, and streaks of brilliant blue lightning flashed out of the bright green flash.

nAnd the nightmarish surprise wasn't done there.

nAlong with all of this, an indescribable aura pressure crushed both Captains!

nJust by this aura pressure, they both felt tremendously suppressed. It was like getting abruptly sucked into a wildly powerful hurricane.

nBefore either the Captain or Vice-captain can even begin to comprehend anything that's happening, their danger instinctive explodes even higher!

nA lightning-covered fist and an ice-covered fist flew out from the green flash, soaring straight at each Captain's face!

n

"Ahh!!

"

nThe Captain and Vice-Captain could only unleash a hasty counterattack. With a shocked yelp, they mustered as much Nascent Qi they could, swiping out silvery swords, and hastily swung it down.

n'Bang!'

nNascent Qi exploded into the air, shattering everything in the tent from the intense shockwaves.

nOut from the shock waves, two miserable wails were accompanied by two bodies soaring like speeding bullets.

nIn this hasty collision, the Captain and Vice-Captain could at most gather only 15% of their full Nascent Qi. Everything just happened far too fast.

nCaught entirely unprepared, both Captains were unable to match Cain and Kali's full-powered strike.

nBerserk energies brazenly rampaged in their bodies, quickly rupturing their organs, destroying their special brown leather armors, and suppressing the Nascent Qi within them.

nIn just a single exchange, the Captains suffered severe injuries, and their combat prowess took a nosedive.

nAt the same time the Captains were sent flying, the green flash finally cleared up, revealing Cain and Kali.

nImmediately when they appeared, the sibling duo narrowed their eyes on the flying Captains.

nIntense killing intent surged within them as they felt a slight burning sting on their knuckles. Though they seemingly effortlessly clashed with the Captains, the truth was, their attacks still stung them.

nAfter all, Cain and Kali were fighting numerous levels far above their boundary. And Kali's combat prowess is overall weaker than Cain's.

nEven with 15% of energy used, it was a bit rough to engage in a frontal collision. Although it was already amazing enough that Cain and Kali could cause such damages at a far lower boundary.

nStill, if they were to fight the captains at full power, the results would be heavily swayed.

nHowever, neither Cain nor Kali would let the Captains gain even a chance to breathe.

nAt the very instance the sibling sent the Captains flying, they burst forward like ravenous beasts!

nAs he burst forward, Cain surged all of his strength. His Draconic Lightning Aura intensely shimmered, howling with power as his lightning spark frantically crackled.

nAll of his powerful Nascent Aura came crashing down on the Captain, who was at the fifth level, sweeping him up in a chaotic storm.

nSimultaneously, Kali erupted with all of her strength, causing her Ice Draconic Aura to sparkle and her Ice spark to tremble.

nBut right before the sibling duo could get too far, the Captain and Vice-Captain suddenly snapped their eyes open. Their bloodshot eyes glared with intense hatred as they came upon a decisive decision.

n

"You'll die with us!!

"

nBoth Captains forcefully suppressed their injuries, halting their soaring momentum. In that instance, they both unhesitantly bit their tongues, combusting nearly all of their blood essence!

n'Hua~!'

nThe Captain's auras instantly rose, breaking past new heights!

nDarkish blue Nascent Qi swirled around their blades, causing ripples of energy to tear in the air just around them.

n

"Mn?

"

nThe power emanating from the Captains certainly surprised Cain and Kali. Even under their Draconic energies auras, the sibling duo felt considerably pressured.

nHowever, this change matters very little to them. Cain and Kali acted like the captains didn't even combust their blood essence.

nCain opened his palm, bursting out a billowing energy stream of Draconic Lightning straight towards the Captain's chest.

nAs he did so, the Captain similarly didn't care for Cain's sudden attack. His armor was destroyed, and he has forgone any attempt at defense, only wanting to take Cain down.

nWith a crazed grin, he swung down with all of his might!

nAt the same time, Kali unleashed a freezing energy stream of Draconic Ice straight towards the Vice Captain's chest.

nAnd she as well had to face off against the desperate final strike of a crazed Liang Tribe member.

n'Bang!!'

nDraconic Lightning and Ice energy exploded out, razing the entire tent to bits and pieces!

n

"Ahh! What the hell is going on?!

"

nSeveral other Liang tribe members were finally aware of the chaotic battle. They all rushed out of their tents, heading straight for their Captains' tent.

nHowever, midway in their rush, they all froze dead.

n

"Ca-captains!!

"

nEveryone was staring bugged eyes at the destructive scenery.

nStanding right before them were two beautiful youths who both had large horrifying gashes splitting their hands open.

nBut compared to their injuries, that had nothing on the Captain and Vice-Captain.

nBoth Captains laid motionless at Cain and Kali's feet. The head Captain had a steaming charred hole where his heart should be.

nWhile the Vice-Captain had a large hole covered in a chilling layer of frost where his heart should be.

nFrom that chaotic collision, a fifth level and fourth level Nascent Formations powerhouses died.

nEven in death, neither of them understood just how they died.

n
