Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan heard the clamor coming from outside the valley. They exchanged a glance, vigilance flashing in their eyes. They quickly rose and headed for the valley entrance. As soon as they arrived, they saw a group of cultivators in strange clothing advancing menacingly toward the valley. At their head stood a gloomy-faced middle-aged man, glaring viciously at the siblings with a powerful oppressive aura radiating from him.
"Who are you? Why have you barged into our valley?" Chen Siyu demanded fearlessly. The middle-aged man sneered. "Little brats, hand over what you obtained in the Mysterious Ruins if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!" They had learned of the siblings' gains in the Mysterious Ruins and had come with greedy intentions, hoping to seize their treasures.
Chen Ruixuan's little face flushed red with anger as he shouted, "You bad people! You couldn't get the treasures yourselves, so you want to steal ours. How shameless!" Enraged by his words, the middle-aged man waved a hand, and the cultivators behind him rushed forward as one. Chen Siyu swiftly shielded Chen Ruixuan behind her and formed hand seals at high speed, unleashing the Five-Colored Ribbon Technique. The Five-Colored Ribbon spiraled out like nimble dragons and charged at the enemies. Light flashed brilliantly as it entangled several cultivators at the front, leaving them unable to move.
Chen Ruixuan did not stay idle either. He pulled out his Slingshot again, condensed Spirit Power Pellets one after another, and fired them at the enemy. Wherever the pellets flew, the enemies scattered to avoid them. However, there were too many intruders, and their strength was considerable. They soon broke through the Five-Colored Ribbon's blockade and closed in on the siblings.
Chen Siyu frowned deeply. She knew that her current techniques alone would make it difficult to repel this group of enemies. At the critical moment, she suddenly recalled a basic spell recorded in the Chaos Spirit Rhinoceros Technique—Chaos Impact. Although they had not yet fully mastered the technique, they could only take the risk and try it now.
Chen Siyu focused her mind and guided the Chaos Qi she had just comprehended, condensing it into a faintly glowing sphere of energy in her hand. With a loud cry, she hurled it at the enemy. The energy sphere rapidly expanded in midair, smashing into the crowd like a miniature meteor and unleashing a powerful shockwave. Dust filled the air, and many cultivators were thrown to the ground by the impact.
The middle-aged man's expression shifted slightly. He had not expected these two little brats to possess such methods. He snorted coldly and acted personally, a Black Long Sword appearing in his hand. Eerie Black Mist coiled around its blade as he thrust it toward Chen Siyu. Chen Siyu twisted aside to evade it while directing the Five-Colored Ribbon to attack him. The man's swordsmanship was fierce and sharp; he easily dodged the Five-Colored Ribbon's attack and continued his relentless assault on Chen Siyu.
Seeing his sister in danger, Chen Ruixuan was frantic with worry. Disregarding his own safety, he charged toward the middle-aged man, intending to use his Slingshot to disrupt the attack. When the man saw Chen Ruixuan rushing over, a scornful smile curled across his lips. He swung his sword, sending a streak of sword qi shooting toward Chen Ruixuan. Chen Ruixuan could not dodge in time and was struck by it, falling to the ground.
"Brother!" Chen Siyu cried, frantic with worry as fierce rage surged within her. At that life-or-death moment, her understanding of Chaos Qi suddenly deepened, and an even more powerful force of Chaos Power erupted from within her body. Chen Siyu moved both hands, and Chaos Power swept toward the middle-aged man and his subordinates like raging waves...
