Chapter 203

He didn't think that kid would hold back such immense strength. In front of absolute brutal power, no tactic had any value.

"Has the backup plan been commenced?" the other twin asked her brother while she was fixing her eyes upon Ibro. 

She had a vague sense of danger towards this kid. She always trusted her inner feelings, so she asked her brother to set up a backup plan.

"Yes, big sis. Would we try to hold him back till our reinforcements arrive?"

"No, no one can stand against this kid now," she commented while turning around starting to leave.

"Then how could we kill this kid? These reinforcements aren't actually under our control. They might not kill him."

"Who said anything about killing him? This plan wasn't to kill him, it was to save our lives," she said while starting to move at a rapid pace towards the exit of this valley.

"What do you mean?"

"You are stupid like usual. Nothing could push me to lose my life, no matter what it is. Anything can be compensated except losing your life little bro."

"Then what about them?"

He pointed with his eyes towards the cultivators around them. His sister knew what he meant so she said in a whisper voice:

"It's their misfortune to come here in the first place. It's a huge mistake to just try to hunt a tiger with sheep. 

They will act as our shield to delay him till we return to the academy," she said while glancing upon that death knight who was moving his two swords killing all the cultivators in his way, 

" We also have something so important to report to our master. He will be shocked after he hears this piece of info."

The twins continued to retreat rapidly towards the exit of the valley. Ibro noticed this move from them. He just smiled. He knew that these two sneaky leaders weren't simple. 

They use their brains not their muscles. He loved those who used their brains in fighting him, as killing them was always a challenge to him. He had deep memories about multiple enemies slain under his hands. 

Although these memories were still a bit fuzzy but he began to capture the feeling he had at these times. It was similar to the one he had right now. He kept moving forward trailing the twins. 

Although they tried to move with their fastest speed, he was gradually catching up. Although they tried to throw as many cultivators as they could on his way, that wasn't effective.

"Where are the ones you send stupid?"

Before her brother could manage to reply to her, a loud noise came from the depth of the valley. 

Ibro looked like everyone else towards the source of that sound. There, on the horizon appeared massive numbers of monsters. They were moving in an obvious rage. 

They were like they had lost their brains. It was a great monster tide. In front of these mad monsters, a group of cultivators were running for their lives. 

These were the ones that were sent by the brother. This was the backup plan of the sister. Ibro guessed immediately their intentions. He smiled as he muttered:

"It seemed I wasn't the only one scheming here. That's interesting."

He then looked back as he ordered:

"Neglect the cultivators and move to the front now and block their escape route."

"Your wishes are my orders."

The death knight immediately executed Ibro's order. One of the two cards he kept hidden was the true speed of this death knight. 

It was a knight, no way its speed was comparable to the speed of a cultivator walking on his legs. The sudden increase of this death knight speed had panicked the twins at once. 

They thought they could escape safely while Ibro got busy trying to hold this monster's tide, but they were wrong. The incoming death knight had reached Ibro in no time. 

There was still some distance between them and the exit. The death knight didn't stop though; he continued to move towards the exit. In a few moments, it had also caught up with the twin. 

At once, that knight's two swords attacked the brother and sister at the same time. They had to stop to evade this incoming attack. The distance between them and Ibro was short from the beginning. 

By the appearance of this sudden annoyance, the distance became shorter. They tried to move at once to the front, to be interrupted again after a few meters only from this knight. 

The brother looked at Ibro in anger, while his sister looked at the exit. They were now so close to it, so she noticed the strangeness of that exit. It was blocked by huge rocks. 

On the sides of this narrow neck, there were marks of swords. She got everything at that moment. They weren't the ones who set a trap to this kid, it was this kid setting a trap for them. 

She glanced at this death knight. This knight appeared from their backs. It must have hidden well till all of them entered this valley then it destroyed their exit. 

Although she can fly now, she was still at the beginning of learning this technique. She could mostly fly for a few meters over the ground. She glanced again at the exit. 

She needed more time to reach the peak and manage to cross this obstacle. She looked back over her shoulders towards the incoming Ibro. 

This little kid had managed to be so close to them. He would never give her a chance to leave here.

"Little bro, you go and hold back that kid and I will hold back that knight," she commanded her brother while gritting her teeth. Her little brother immediately moved towards Ibro while saying:

"I will hold him in his place n"

His voice was interrupted by a sudden sound of thunder. He turned at once to look at his sister in disbelief. He muttered:

"The heart of a thunder pocket talisman. No, no stop rig"

He couldn't complete his words as her sister had put a single drop of blood over this old looking piece of paper. 

The sound of thunder had appeared from this small sheet of paper. Once this drop of blood dropped on this sheet of paper, it shone brightly by a huge flash of light. 

This light had created a ball around that girl. From that ball, a hand extended from it. It was like a lightning bolt that targeted his brother. 

Before this brother even screamed, this hand had held his whole body, turning him into ash at once. All the flesh, blood and cultivation base had been absorbed by this hand. 

That scene made Ibro stop immediately in his tracks. He also pointed to the knight to stop also. He didn't know if this strange technique could also attack him or the knight. 

This hand then retreated to the ball at once dying it completely red.

"One day I will come to settle this hatred with you. This is my, Somia, promise to you Ibro."

This voice which carried a lot of hate came from inside the ball. In a few moments, that ball began to shrink till nothing remained in its place. 

There was no trail of this girl. Ibro didn't know what exactly happened, but he was sure that the girl had escaped.

"What a loss. I lost two nascent souls just now."

He looked back towards those incoming huge herds of monsters as he muttered:

"Now I had to retreat first. When I meet with Sroki, I will ask him about this thunder talisman thing."

He began to move rapidly towards the exit. Although he ordered the knight to block the entrance, he also instructed him to leave a hidden exit between these huge rocks. 

He wouldn't trap himself here forever. The death knight had led the way towards these huge blocks of rocks. On the side of them, there were overlapping rocks that created a hidden opening. 

Ibro didn't hesitate to pass through here. Once he passed with his death knight this neck of the valley, he ordered the death knight to stand here in watch. He was escaping under the eyes of his enemies. 

Maybe some smart cultivators would find out the existence of this passage and pass through it. That was practically good for Ibro. He and his death knight needed to kill more people to get stronger.
