After a few moments, Roan asked Rean through their Soul Connection.

'By the way, how did you know they were not attacking us?'

​​

Rean smiled.

'Instinct.'

Roan almost vomited blood!

'You bet our lives on your instincts? What if they had attacked at that last moment?'

Rean laughed after hearing that.

'Hahaha! Come on, you also saw that they did not bring any weapon out at all. That meant they could at most use some naked hands attack. Don't forget that almost no Foundation Establishment in this world knows how to use skills. We are basically exceptions.'

Rean continued.

'Also, they are nothing more than a single-stage above us in cultivation. With the actual power of our bodies and bones, plus the Spiritual Energy that you and I used to reinforce them, there wouldn't be much damage even if it was an attack.'

Roan still didn't let go.

'That's assuming they were really only going to use a common attack and nothing more, but what if they had some lethal way of dealing with us in that second?'

Rean shook his head.

'You forgot about our appearances. We look just like kids. Would you go all out like that against two kids from the get-go?'

Roan immediately nodded.

'Yes! I would make sure to kill in a single strike.'

Rean's mouth twitched. He noticed that he forgot a very important detail.

'Cough, cough... I was wrong. I forgot that common sense doesn't work with you. What I meant is that those who are not 'mindless-killing machines-who-worked-as-death-spirits-in-previous-lives-and-didn't-know-how-to-hear-their-targets'-plight' like you wouldn't act that the way you described.'

Roan's expression darkened.

'What the hell was that description?!'

Rean totally ignored him, though.

The twins' conversation seemed to have lasted long. However, through their soul connection, it only took a few seconds at most.

It was then that Rean and Roan saw the red color of killing intent coming from up ahead.

'We have company.'

Roan nodded.

'I wouldn't let her carrying me forever anyway, so it is quite convenient.'

Suddenly, four daggers came from behind the trees, aiming directly at the couple and the twins.

It was too abrupt! Because the couple was paying attention to their pursues on the back, they weren't paying much attention ahead. They simply had no time to bring out their weapons to block the attack, either. However, that was not the case for the twins.

*Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang!*

One White-light and one Pitch-black sword suddenly appeared in front of the couple at the last moment, sending those four daggers flying. Not only that, all those four daggers cracked, almost breaking after the collision.

Right after, two shadows came out from the trees and attacked the couple straight away. The attacks were very well timed, using the daggers to bring the attention away from the real danger. If the daggers didn't work, the next attack surely would.

Too bad, though. Rean and Roan didn't feel the least bit of danger from those two incoming enemies. However, the couple was still moving forward due to the inertia. So instead of trying to finish the attackers, Rean and Roan kicked the couple at the last moment, sending themselves and the couple flying in two different directions.

Obviously, the income attacks missed.

The couple finally regained their bearings. Only then did they noticed that their lives were saved by the kids that they had just saved.

The couple then unsheathed their own weapons, quickly defending against the next attacks. It turns out that the two enemies were at the same level as the couple, Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now that they lost the surprise element, they clearly wouldn't be able to finish the couple in a single move.

However, they were okay with it. That's because the five other cultivators behind could use that chance to catch up. Just a few seconds and the couple and the twin's fate would be decided. As for the twins, they didn't know if what they did was planned or just a reaction. But because Rean and Roan had cultivations one stage below their own, they didn't put too much importance on them.

The enemies immediately unleashed a barrage of relentless attacks against the couple. In a certain way, it would be reckless to use so much energy at once, but the couple immediately understood that they were just trying to buy time for the rest of the group to arrive.

In the end, the man gritted his teeth and shouted at Rean and Roan.

"You two, run away now!"

This time, even Roan was taken aback by his words. This is the cultivation word. These guys are in the middle of a war too. So how come they were still worried about Rean and himself? Considering the situation and the fact that they had absolutely no relation to the couple, Roan couldn't understand why the couple wanted to help them so badly.

Rean noticed Roan's confusion and sighed.

'You are right. This is the cultivation world. We have seen hundreds of times how the strong prey on the weak. Be it in the Varen Tribe war against the other tribes or during the bandits' mission, that's how it always worked. However, it doesn't mean that every single cultivator in this world is selfish or evil. At this moment, it just so happens that we found two of them, nothing more, nothing less.'

Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that.

'Fine!'

Rean smiled as they turned in the direction of the incoming group.

'Hey, are you ready to try one of the skills I came up with?'

Roan nodded.

'Although the first part of their names was obviously made to bother me, I have to admit you created something interesting.'

Suddenly, their hair colors changed into white and dark. Then, Light Element gathered inside Rean and Roan's bodies. However, they didn't focus on just one part of their bodies like they did in the past. Instead, the Light Element increased the power of their entire bodies as a whole!

The twins' bodies then began to glow with gently white light, a stark contrast from the bright light that what they did in the past. It was proof that most of the Light Element was being held inside their bodies instead of leaking without stop.

Rean and Roan then looked ahead and dashed forward!

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'
