Chapter 94: Information, City Lord’s intentions (1)
The Second Ranker stumbled back step by step, gritting his teeth in pain. The more he tried to cleanse the energy from his body, the more violently the Heavenly Tribulation reacted.
Meiling saw this and didn’t waste any time. She glanced at the cat with grateful eyes and rushed forward, grey energy swirling around her fist.
With cold eyes, she closed the distance in an instant and then her spatial ring flashed and a talisman popped out of it.
"Augmentation array!"
The talisman flashed and covered her body for a second as she punched forward.
Bang!
The air around them distorted, and the sound of bones shattering echoed through the field.
In the very next moment, the force of her blow sent the man flying backward, his ribs crushed into pieces.
The Second Rank Evolver of the High Order’s eyes dimmed, and all strength drained from his body as he fell lifeless.
One dead!
But it wasn’t over yet. Meiling turned toward the knight she had stunned a few moments ago.
He was fully recovered now and charged toward her with an enraged expression.
"How dare you kill him! You’ll pay for this!" he roared, bringing his spear down with great momentum.
Clang!
However, it was all for nothing.
Mimi appeared in time, blocking the attack, but the Second Ranker poured more power into his weapon, overpowering Mimi and striking at its legs.
Bang!
Mimi immediately fell to the ground. Though its legs were gone, there were no other injuries.
"Mimi!" Meiling shouted in worry.
The very next moment, Mimi’s legs grew back instantly.
It was Grey’s ability. As long as he didn’t run out of psionic energy, Mimi wouldn’t die—it would simply regenerate.
Mimi stood up energetically with a grumpy expression.
"Mimi! Mimi! Mimi! Mimi! Mimi!" It began cursing the man who had sliced off its legs, and a powerful lethal energy erupted from its body.
Sword Energy!
"Mimi!" The cat flew into the air, shaping the lethal energy into a sword with an angered expression. Its figure blurred as it shot toward the man.
"The cat is flying!" Meiling said with a dumbfounded expression. And it’s using sword energy?!
However, now wasn’t the time to think about that!
She charged forward alongside the cat.
Swish! Swish! Swoosh!
Mimi spun through the air, its body rotating faster and faster. Bit by bit, it gained momentum until a terrifying whirlpool of sword energy formed around it as it rushed toward the Second Rank High Order member.
The man was alarmed, but the storm of sword energy reached him faster than he expected and swallowed him whole.
Srkkr! Slish! Splat!
Lethal energy slashed down on the grey-robed High Order member, his body tearing open as cracks and wounds appeared everywhere.
Mimi stopped spinning midair and sent another bolt of Heavenly Tribulation toward the man.
With his body covered in wounds, it took less than a second for the Heavenly Tribulation to enter him.
The Law Power immediately paralyzed him as the Heavenly Tribulation wreaked havoc inside his body.
"Now!" Seeing the opening, Meiling didn’t hesitate. She instantly appeared next to the man and punched forward just like before.
Bang!
Her punch connected, and the man was sent flying. The moment he hit the ground, he was already dead.
The other man was also dead—but it still wasn’t over.
Meiling turned her head toward her sister. Meiying was still fighting. Her movements were fast and precise as she dodged and countered, but she was being besieged by two Second Rankers at once, barely holding on.
"Let’s go, Mimi!" Meiling shouted.
Mimi nodded and leapt onto Meiling’s shoulder as she rushed forward. The air cracked beneath her feet as she appeared beside her sister in an instant. Just as one of the men was about to land a heavy punch on Meiying, Mimi shot forward from Meiling’s shoulder and blocked it with its tiny paw.
Boom!
The air distorted as the two forces clashed, but the one who emerged victorious was the Second Ranker. Mimi was blasted backward with a hole in its chest—yet, in the same instant, it regenerated and shot forward again.
"What?" The Second Rankers were stunned as he blocked the incoming paw attack from Mimi.
"Meiying, let’s use the technique! We can finish them in one hit!" Meiling said quickly.
Meiying nodded firmly, and the other twin, Meiling, grabbed her hand.
The air around them shifted abruptly. They both raised their free hands, forming fists. Immediately, a powerful surge of Aetheric energy erupted from their bodies, intertwining together. Grey light swirled around their arms like mirrored streams.
"Twin Fist!" they shouted in unison. "Heaven Shattering!"
They stepped forward and punched simultaneously at the two Second Rankers.
Seeing this, Mimi joined in. Its body floated up, fur bristling with lightning and dense sword energy. It waved its paws, sending waves of sword energy and Heavenly Tribulation forward.
Boom!
The world flashed black and white for an instant as a terrifying blast of Aetheric energy shot forward. The sword energy and Heavenly Tribulation merged with it, vaporizing everything in its path.
The Two 2nd rank evolvers couldn’t tell what killed them.
"That’s all of them." Grey clapped his hands, smiling. "Good work, everyone."
"Grandmaster!" both twins called out respectfully as he strode over.
He had been observing from the side, and honestly speaking, he was impressed.
These two grand-disciples of his were truly exceptional and highly talented. After all, they had reached the peak of First Rank at just eighteen years old, and their combined technique was fascinating.
He had seen it in action before, and its power never failed to impress him. The Twin Fist: Heaven Shattering was a unique combined attack only these two could perform.
Once energy is refined, it’s tainted by one’s life force, creating slight variations between individuals. Normally, this causes resistance when two energies are combined, but because these two were twins, they could merge their energies perfectly.
This amplified their power severalfold, allowing them to instantly vaporize the two remaining Second Rankers.
These two were geniuses in formation mastery, and according to what Werner told him, they formed this technique after witnessing the functioning of the Dual Convergence Formation and gaining useful insights from it.
That formation allowed one to act as a substitute source of energy, transferring their power to the designated individual. In essence, it ensured that the target would never run out of energy. as the formation converted the supporter’s power into raw cosmic energy, which was then processed through the Cosmic Energy Conversion Diagram.
As he was musing, Werner descended back to the ground, his appearance returning to normal.
"Great. Everyone’s here." Grey nodded. "Then let’s get to treasure hunting."
As he said that, he turned his attention to the crater where the abandoned building stood, the same place the High Order members had emerged from.
The structure was completely destroyed by Werner’s earlier attack. Now, only an entrance remained at the center, and right above it shimmered a faint barrier.
