Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan heard the commotion from beyond the valley, exchanged a glance, and a flicker of wariness flashed in their eyes. They quickly rose and headed toward the valley entrance. Just as they reached the mouth, they saw a group of Cultivators in strange, exotic attire advancing aggressively toward the valley. At the lead was a middle-aged man with a grim expression, his gaze fixed fiercely on the siblings, exuding an overwhelming pressure.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in our valley!" Chen Siyu demanded loudly, showing no fear. The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Little brats, if you know what's good for you, hand over what you got from the Mysterious Ruins. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" It turned out they had learned of the siblings' gains from the Mysterious Ruins and had hatched a scheme to snatch the treasures.
Chen Ruixuan's small face flushed with anger as he shouted, "You bad people! You couldn't get the treasures yourselves, so now you want to steal ours? Shameless!" Enraged by Chen Ruixuan's words, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the Cultivators behind him surged forward. Chen Siyu quickly shielded Chen Ruixuan behind her, her hands forming seals at lightning speed as she unleashed the Five-Colored Ribbon Technique. The ribbons shot out like agile flood dragons, charging at the enemies, their brilliance dazzling as they coiled around the foremost Cultivators, trapping them in place.
Chen Ruixuan didn't idle either. He pulled out his slingshot again, condensed Spirit Power Pellets one after another, and fired them at the foes. Wherever the pellets struck, the enemies scrambled to dodge. However, the attackers were numerous and formidable, and they soon broke through the Five-Colored Ribbon's barrier, closing in on the siblings.
Chen Siyu's brow furrowed deeply. She knew that relying solely on her current techniques wouldn't be enough to repel this group. In this critical moment, she suddenly recalled a basic spell recorded in the Chaos Spirit Rhinoceros Technique—Chaos Impact. Though they hadn't fully mastered the technique yet, she had no choice but to risk it.
Chen Siyu focused her mind, channeling the Chaos Qi she had just sensed, and condensed it into a faintly glowing energy sphere in her hands. With a sharp cry, she hurled the sphere at the enemies. The energy sphere rapidly expanded midair, crashing into the enemy ranks like a small meteor, unleashing a powerful shockwave. Dust and debris flew everywhere, and many Cultivators were knocked to the ground by the impact.
The middle-aged man's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected these two little brats to have such tricks up their sleeves. With a cold snort, he stepped in personally. A Black Long Sword appeared in his hand, its blade wreathed in eerie Black Mist, and he thrust it toward Chen Siyu. Chen Siyu sidestepped to evade while directing the Five-Colored Ribbon to attack him. The man's swordsmanship was sharp; he easily dodged the ribbons' assault and pressed his attack on Chen Siyu.
Seeing his sister in danger, Chen Ruixuan's heart raced with panic. Ignoring his own safety, he charged at the middle-aged man, hoping to disrupt his attack with the slingshot. The man caught sight of Chen Ruixuan rushing toward him and curled his lips in a disdainful smirk. He swung his blade, sending a burst of Sword Qi flying at Chen Ruixuan. Unable to dodge in time, Chen Ruixuan was struck and fell to the ground.
"Younger brother!" Chen Siyu's heart burned with desperation, and a surge of fierce rage welled up inside her. In that split second, her understanding of Chaos Qi deepened abruptly, and a more powerful Chaos Power erupted within her. Chen Siyu waved her hands, and the Chaos Power swept toward the middle-aged man and his underlings like raging torrents...
