Death... and me

Rean checked the Divine Stones inside the spatial ring before nodding, satisfied. "It's good to make a deal with your Gromel Bank. I might come back here later to trade a few more times as I need a lot more of those."

Bigas obviously wouldn't refuse that. "Sure! We will welcome you at any time."

Rean and Kentucky then left the bank and began to make their way to the city's exit. At the same time, Roan and Celis followed from afar. Since Rean and Roan had their connection, there was no need for them to use Divine Sense to know where Kentucky and Rean were going.

Rean and Kentucky soon arrived at the city's exit. After all, their cultivation was very high. Covering a distance of a few hundred kilometers was basically nothing. However, they weren't paying attention to their speed. Instead, they had the Divine Sense bending skill active. It's just that it was set to a very weak level. Any Divine Sense could break through it.

One must remember that other than bending Divine Senses, it could be used to detect Divine Senses of other people and measure their cultivation. 'Hehe! To think they would come this fast.'

Roan, who was watching everything, nodded in response. 'Indeed. Whether it's the Gromel Bank's people who came or not matters little. What matters is that they sent someone at the Void Tempering Realm. Not only one but two of them.'

Kentucky and Celis could tell why that level of cultivation was used. Whoever was coming after them believed that this cultivation was too high for Rean and Kentucky to feel their Divine Sense.

Once outside the city, Kentucky reverted into his Minokawa form before Rean jumped on his back for them to fly away. To make things more believable, Kentucky flew quite fast, being only enough for Roan and Celis to follow from behind. That would give the impression that Rean wanted to get away with his fortune as quickly as possible.

They didn't have to travel for long for the enemies to show themselves, though. Just a few hundred kilometers away from the city, the two Void Tempering Realm cultivators already showed themselves, blocking Rean's path. They both used armor and helmets that made it impossible to tell what they looked like. Rean could tell that there were inscriptions on those armors capable of stopping Divine Sense from seeing inside.

Rean and Kentucky then stopped in mid-air with dark expressions. "What do you want?"

Both enemies had cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm, so they were very confident in their capabilities. They were sure Rean and Kentucky would have nowhere to run.

One of them smirked with a disdainful expression. "We've heard that you got quite a lot of Divine Stones. How about sharing some of them with poor people like us?"

The other guy laughed in response. "Hahaha! Some of them? No, no, brother! They're so rich, so they definitely won't mind giving all of their Divine Stones to us." He then looked at Rean and Kentucky before asking, "Isn't that right?"

However, Rean showed an even more disdainful expression, telling him, "Share with you? Hahaha! What a joke! I can't help but find it funny. I openly talked about my fortune, and soon, two fishes took the bait. I can't believe you didn't find it strange at all that I didn't try to conceal my deal with Gromel Bank. Are you two really that stupid?"

Of course, they weren't. Both experts only followed Rean and Kentucky this far to see if they had someone's protection. They also found it strange that Rean would be that open about his Divine Stones in the middle of the crowd back in the Gromel Bank. However, their Divine Senses and especially their natural spatial perception didn't pick anyone. That's why they decided to make a move. "Hmph! Who are you trying to fool here, brat? We know very well no one was following you."

"Then you two are truly terrible at detecting the presence of more enemies," said a voice from afar. A moment later, Roan and Celis appeared as well.

That shocked the two Void Tempering Realm guys. Only after Roan and Celis got close enough did they appear inside their Divine Senses. However, they didn't panic. They could see those two cultivations as well. As for avoiding their Divine Sense, they attributed that to some treasure they were carrying. "Hehe... Hahaha! You scared me for a moment there. In the end, two ants became four. Just a bunch of Middle Stage Transition Realm idiots."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "Is that so? Then why are you wasting so much time? Oh, right! You're still afraid there's a trap or something, right? Very well. Let us start this playtime."

Immediately, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis attacked.

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'

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

Sure enough, Rean's group launched themselves against the two enemies.

Seeing that they were really about to fight, the two guys didn't hold back as well. Immediately, they brought out their weapons, a saber and a spear. Divine Energy, Fire, Wind, and Lightning Elements gathered around them. After that, spatial powers joined together, increasing their strength even more.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, ants!"

'Thunderfire Thrust!'

'Saber Fire Storm!'

Their attacks charged head-on against the twins' group as they were sure their opponents wouldn't be able to fight against the difference in cultivation.

Unfortunately for them, a giant Minokawa suddenly appeared in front of their attacks!

'Dark and Light Divine Armor!'

Kentucky's feather blades and scales shone with Light and Dark Element as their own defensive powers increased several times. Yes, Kentucky decided to take both Void Tempering Realm attacks with his own body!

*Boom, boom!*

Kentucky's body was indeed hit as he was sent flying back. Lightning, Fire, and Wind elements raged around his body for a moment as well. However, that was all. Kentucky quickly stabilized himself in the air and used his Divine Energy to dispel all of that as he snorted at those two. "Hmph! So weak! Can't even break a single feather of my body."
