Lust, Like Vengeance, Demands Red

Shaking his head Rubble sighed. "It"s incredible how blind a person can be when she thinks so highly of themselves. Zhi Rui, The slave mark had disappeared with our breakthrough. And in the first time we fought, we broke your shoulder and left ribcage completely. And we did that when we were at the second level.

Now we"re both at the third level, with a new ability. While you is still the same. Isn"t it better to just give up? If you promise to teach the army with your new war tactics and swear allegiance to the barbarian people then I"m sure you"ll be allowed to live here."

Ignoring their words Zhi Rui caught the wound on their writs and smiled
"So it"s like that." She muttered to herself.

Rubble" face scrunched up.

Crystal came to his side and patted his shoulder."You shouldn"t expect her to be reasonable"

Zhi Rui finally looked in their eyes.
"You don"t need to offer me a place here, I"m leaving soon." Zhi Rui said.

Her malicious smirk ingrained taking root on their eye

"And I"m taking you with me. For the first time after I came back, I was blindsided in such way. I need to keep you both by my side to punish you, and remind myself to not become complacent."

She said it out loud, but the word was for herself.

It was obvious for the sibling and the old steward that whatever she did, the sibling"s actions had no influence in it. It was questionable if she even reiterated their voices. They were like air.

Now both siblings had scrunched faces.

They positioned their feet one behind and another forward. Their torso was lowered, they were ready to Sprung on Zhi Rui with a combined attack.
A layer of gold color enveloped their body. and the muscle in their bodies became more defined,

Zhi Rui watched as they activated their abilities and synchronized.

"One ability is defense, another is some kind of physical enhancement. But there"s still one left."

Zhi Rui smiled at them. She opened her arms wide shaking the fur cape behind "Come."

The siblings moved.

Zhi Rui recognized they got stronger than her. But they forgot some simple facts. On their first fight, they had taken her completely by surprise. Not leaving a chance to prepare to receive attacks. And even like that Zhi Rui put them down in less than six moves.

The siblings moved as one, they approached, Zhi Rui"d bloodthirsty eyes shone and her savage smile threatened to tear her face apart.

She caught a golden aura condensing on the sibling"s fists. "The third ability" Zhi Rui thought.

The Sheer pressure of the fit made her heart tremble with excitement.

"A level fourth strength!" She barely managed to observe before jerking her upper body backward

The fist almost grazed her nose, her training of the basic high-quality body cultivation showed its effects.

Zhi Rui rolled forward. SHe didn"t need to look around she could feel their movements. she stepped on her materialized energy and jumped through the air.

She jumped two more steps and stood there looking down at the siblings

Their might destroyed the wall. It burst into dust.

The difference in physical strength was clear, and Zi Rui was on the losing end.

The old man stood to the side, not minding the fight, he just watched as if he was a bystander.

Crystal looked at the old man with sympathy.

"Mr Ho, your sacrifice won"t be in vain, after this I"ll make sure your tribe will thrive, they"ll be one of the n.o.ble tribes."

The old man looked at her with the same deadpan expression.

Rubble focused on Zhi Rui standing on air as if she was on solid ground.

"For a body cultivator to choose a utility type of ability instead of one to enhance the body, is a pure form of foolishness," He said.

He said and jumped and

Zhi Rui didn"t move and accompanied him with her eyes. He stepped on the wall beside him aimed up at Zhi Rui and launched himself tearing through the air.

Zhi Rui shooks her head. "Pride is harmful to those without any ability."

He aimed directly at her face the golden energy enveloping his hand. it emanated astounding pressure. Any animal would have its basic instincts woken by its might.

But Zhi Rui smiled. she leaned her head down on her left shoulder and put her foot to the front s.h.i.+fting her position to her left.

Zhi Rui looked into his eyes his fist pa.s.sed by her. and now his momentum brought his exposed torso right in front of her.

His face paled. His first wasn"t the main attack. It was a distraction. Crystal attacking from the back was the main move.

Crystal"s knee didn"t even graze Zhi Rui"s back. and her momentum carried her forward.

Feeling the air pa.s.sing behind her and seeing the panic on Rubble"s face made Zhi Rui smiled

"Engage someone in the air without having the ability to maneuver yourself, is suicide."

Zhi Rui shoved her knee into Rubble"s exposed stomach.

While doing o, he materialized her energy into a wall to halt Crystal in place

While Rubble flew away coughing blood Zhi Rui turned to Crystal.
She had smashed into the materialized energy wall. the impact broke the wall but her momentum stopped.

On the moment the energy wall broke and before she could start falling. Zhi Rui" eyes shone. She pulled her left leg from behind and brought her knee to her chest. With all the weight and strength of her body, her leg launched the sole of her feet struck firmly on Crystal"s chest.

A dull sound echoed through the room. The air was forced out of Crystal"s lung. Her eyes went blank.

Rubble watched in horror as his sister smashed into the wall behind.

Zhi Rui turned to him, and he knew he couldn"t afford to help her right now. He looked a the soulless old man beside the smashed wall

"Help Her!, help her and you won"t die!" He yelled in despair.

The old man just stood there "I already served my purpose." He said.

Rubble eye" went red. "If you don"t, I"ll kill all your d.a.m.n tribe!"

"An oath was made by the leaders. No harm from the upper echelons or the commoners will be tolerated against my family." The old man smirked feeling good at getting petty revenge.

Rubble clenched his teeth, he was ready to pounce on the man. But Zhi Rui" smiling face stood on the side just watching if he did any thoughtless move.

He circulated his own energy and stood ready, his sister was unconscious.
fighting by himself he could only muster the strength of a common level three.

His face froze sternly, He stood like rock attentively observing Zhi Rui"s every move.

She just stood there, seeing the drops of sweat forming on him Zhi Rui relaxed her body and looked a the sand stele, completely ignoring Rubble.

His nervousness increased by several levels, drops of sweat drip down his forehead

Zhi Rui walked to the stele, she cut the tip of her finger and swung it. A drop of blood fell on the stele it slowly disappeared as if the and swallowed it.

But nothing happened.

Zhi Rui abruptly looked back, Rubble jumped backward.

The old man laughed.

"Old man, you"re part of the main bloodline, right? come. bleed on it."

The old man walked slowly toward her his eyes mocking Rubble"s nervousness.

"Boy, if you"re so afraid just stand still. Even if you had a chance, now your mental state won"t let you win." The old man said. Not caring that he was talking to the royalty he once served.

Zhi Rui cut his hand and smeared it on the stele.

A small bright golden light shone. Zhi Rui felt it. a remnant spirit with a conscience was inside the stele.

She felt that it was similar to the one on the paG.o.da its only power is to mess with souls if Zhi Rui could bait it out. Then she could trap it.

Remember the number of enemies waiting for her Zhi Rui ignored any possible loss.

She could feel the conscience inside it looking at her haughtily. it grew agitated by the second. But the light started to dim.

It was the same as the last time in the paG.o.da, that woman from the chaste church.

Except this spirit is weaker and needs blood to keep itself awake.

The light dimmed completely.

Zhi Rui stopped and looked pensive. Suddenly she felt an overly agitated mood on the corner of the room. She smiled.

With a sonic boom, Rubble swung a palm attack at Zhi Rui"s nape.

The steward sighed.

Zhi Rui"s sensory skill and awareness of the people" feeling around of her make it so that even if she didn"t have eyes. Everything would be as clear as day.

Zhi Rui sidestepped like it was nothing and rubble smashed on the stele

it didn"t even tremble but The level two rubble had his arms and face broken.

Casually She held the unconscious rubble"s hand and gave it to the steward.

"Open a wound in him enough for his blood to flow continuously but not enough to kill him."

The old man looked flabbergasted as Zhi Rui sat down crosslegged and waited.

The old man looked back at Crystal but the girl was unconscious.

The cultivation method of the royal sibling"s basic requirement was that they had to use the same beast cores and abilities so they could synchronize. This way their abilities power multiplies.

Yet Zhi Rui crushed their defensive ability like it was nothing. their enhanced agility and attack powers meant nothing to her.

"But to have that much awareness of the surroundings and of the enemy"s movements, and even more. to be able to react accordingly..." the old man looked at Zhi Rui with dread. "What a monster."

"Hurry." Zh Rui said.

The man fl.u.s.tered, he cut a small incision on the wrist artery of rubble and put his hands on the stele to slowly be absorbed.

The stele shone brightly blinding the old man.

Zhi Rui" with her eyes closed felt the consciousness inside immediately ignore the blood and lock its attention on her.

"How dare you harm a member of my pureblood sun family you filthy mixed!?"

Zhi Rui heard the voice, The first impression was that it sounded haughty and temperamental even dumb.

Zhi Rui sighed.

"Was the original Pride like this too?"
