Chapter 21 - How's That Possible?

Ignoring his injuries, the assassin stomped forward. He already didn't care that such actions would only cause even more damage to his organs. Holding nothing back, he once again sent a blast of Spiritual Energy. Even though Opril knew that it was coming, he couldn't help but take several steps back. The difference in cultivation between him and the assassin was too big, after all.

Diakar once again tried a counter-attack. But to his surprise, the assassin didn't dodge. Their fists hit each other. Not surprisingly, Diakar lost in this exchange, and a few bones of his hand broke straight away. But the assassin wasn't much better. Even though he was able to push Diakar back, he overexerted himself, taking severe damage on his own arm. But that didn't matter, Opril was pushed back with the first wave of Spiritual Energy, and Diakar was out of the way as well. All he needed to do and to kill the babies in front of him and his mission would be over successfully.??

Rean and Roan didn't have time to react before a kick embued with Spiritual Energy of a peak Energy Gathering Realm cultivator came flying in their direction. No doubt, they would die straight away.

But it was at this moment that everyone heard a snort.

"Hmph! Sure enough, that Trank guy sent someone behind our backs."

Boom!

A wave of dust and stone spread after the impact. But surprisingly, Rean and Roan were fine. Right in front of them, an elder they had never seen before was looking at the assassin with a cold expression. As for the kick, it seemed to have encountered a steel wall on the elder's leg. It didn't make the elder even flinch.

"Impossible!"

Roan looked away and pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Hamarlia obviously didn't hear the twins' Soul Link conversation. At the moment, she was shocked to see that assassin, and especially the Vice Tribe Leader in front of him. It didn't take long for her to understand that it was Alanda Ial who saved Rean and Roan.

Alanda then returned his attention to the assassin and asked with a sharp voice.

"Do you wish to surrender peacefully, or should I force you to do so? Personally, I would prefer the latter option since it would be a lot more fun. I have a lot of questions waiting for you after this as well."

The assassin laughed coldly.

"Hehe, as if!"

The assassin knew that there was no path to survival anymore, so he decisively bit a sack of poison that was hidden in his mouth. The poison quickly spread through his body. Suddenly, foam started to come out of his mouth. Not long after, he vomited black blood and fell on the ground.

In his last moments, the assassin glared at the babies. If not for the twins appearing in the wrong place and time, he might have had a chance to escape. But it was this moment that he noticed that the babies were also looking at him. On their lips, he could see a complacent and disdainful smile. Immediately, he understood. As hard as it is to believe, he was sure that they did that on purpose!

"How's that possible...?"

His vision finally went black, and he died. In the end, he was the only one who noticed the truth.
