"Courting death!"

The leader of this group immediately shot forward, aiming his attack at the twins.

​​

'Splitting Wind!'

Wind Element and Spiritual Energy gathered in an instant before wind blades were shot out at Rean and Roan. With his cultivation, he could definitely kill the twins with that attack. However, Wano wasn't any slower.

'Myriad Flame Blades!'

Wano's sword moved at breakneck speeds, cutting all the wind blades apart. Soon after, he turned in the enemy's direction. Of course, the leader of the group wasn't any slower either. While Wano cut his wind blade, he already prepared his next attack. Wind Element flowed around his body, increasing his speed. At the very next moment, he darted in Wano's direction.

While Wano fought that guy, Rean and Roan didn't waste time and attacked the next Core Formation Realm enemy. However, just as they were about to land a killing blow, the woman Wano told them to be aware of appeared in front of them in a flash.

"Your opponent is me, brats!"

'Dancing Lightning!'

Arcs of lightning came out of the girl's body, aiming at the twins simultaneously. Sure enough, she was in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm as well.

The twins understood that they should go all out, so they didn't hold back.

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

Four clones immediately appeared around them as quickly as the woman attacked. They quickly dodged the attack and circled around her. Of course, she wouldn't just look at it. If she didn't stop the two, they would definitely kill more of their Core Formation Realm cultivators.

"Do you think I will let you do as you please?"

Lightning Element continued to dance around her as more and more of it spread out, immediately covering several meters around her.

'Rampaging Lightning Impact!'

*Kabrum!*

Lightning exploded all around her, enveloping the twins and their clones. Without any other choice, Rean and Roan could only retreat. Sure enough, she wouldn't let them get close to the other Core Formation enemies. However, they faintly smiled as they looked at the sky.

Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes wide and immediately looked back. Just now, a meteor covered in black and white flames appeared in her Spiritual Sense, dropping from the skies.

*Creeeeeee!*

Malaka and Calina were already fighting the Core Formation enemies and were being pushed back by the number difference. That's why the Core and Soul Fusion Realm woman tried to stop the twins so that the others could get rid of the rest sooner. Once that was done, they could join forces to finish the rest.

She immediately turned around and prepared to attack Kentucky, trying to disrupt his descent. If it continued like that, he would fall right in the middle of her subordinates. She could tell that the power in that attack wasn't something a Core Formation Realm cultivator could stop without preparation.

However, how could the twins let her do that?

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!'

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

The twins and their clones' speed increased as they all used Roan's movement technique. At the same time, they used Stellar Piercer as they shot forward.

The woman noticed six rays of Dark and Light Element coming at her and was taken aback. The twins' speed just now went far above what she thought they could achieve in the Middle Stage of the Core Formation Realm. If she continued her attack against Kentucky, she would be the one to pay the price. Without any choice, she turned around to defend.

'Devouring Thunder Wall!'

Her lightning arcs changed shape before creating a barrier of pure Lightning Element.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!*

All six attacks hit it. Because of her quick shift in Spiritual Energy, Rean and Roan could finally tell her cultivation level. She was in the Middle Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Thanks to that, her Devouring Thunder Wall had enough power to stop the twin's attack long enough for her to use her movement skill.

'Divine Lightning Path!'

Her body flashed away from the position she was in before the Stellar Piercers were able to break through her protection.

Unfortunately for her, she now had no time to help her subordinates.

*Boom!*

*Aaargh!*

Kentucky's attack blasted three more Core Formation Realm enemies away. In the end, only five remained. It turned out that a few were also at the Core Formation Realm between those there were not using Spiritual Sense, just like Rean had predicted.

Malaka and Calina didn't let the chance slip and immediately counterattacked.

'Tidal Staff Wave!'

'Hydro Blast!'

Malaka immediately used one of Mia's skills as Calina supported her from behind. Kentucky's attack had forced the survivors to defend against his flames, which gave her the necessary opening for the attack.

*Bang! Splash!*

In the next second, two more Core Formation Realm cultivators were sent flying. It was hard to tell whether they survived or not.

Nevertheless, the rest of them quickly recovered and attacked. Malaka, Calina, and Kentucky focused on the low-level ones first. The remaining ones were all at the Late and Peak Stage of the Core Formation Realm. However, their numbers were around the same.

The woman fighting Rean and Roan gritted her teeth in anger. Even if their side won, their losses would have been terrible. Not to mention that they hadn't even taken down a single one from Rean's group yet. Of course, she couldn't believe the twin's strength when they worked together. She was literally one entire realm above them, but they could fight against her on equal terms. That was ridiculous!

"Now you've done it! Zuo, let's go!"

Zuo was the name of the guy fighting Wano. He immediately understood what she meant.

"Alright!"

Soon after, their red meridians over their bodies began to shine brightly as Spiritual Energy gathered around the two like torrents.

'Lightning Incarnation!'

'Flame Incarnation!'

Their power began to increase at an alarming rate, breaking the limits of what they could do before.

Rean and Roan looked at that and understood that the battle had more or less entered the harder second phase.
