Demonstration

"Stupid thief, how dare you come to Forget Worries Pavilion to steal things."

Hearing the angry shout, Black Shadow Leader raised his head in alarm. He saw Ye Hanxue and Ye Zifeng descending from the sky, terrifying auras radiating from their bodies. Five soul rings appeared around Ye Hanxue—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—and five appeared around Ye Zifeng as well—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

"Huayang Needle Technique."

"Departure—Meteor Shower."

Seeing the flying needles and flames filling the sky as they came toward him, Black Shadow Leader was startled. He hurriedly focused his strength and forced the silver needles from his body, allowing his Soul Power to recover slightly before swiftly dodging the siblings' attacks.

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

Black Shadow Leader looked back toward where he had been standing. A huge crater had suddenly appeared there, sending a shock through him.

"Could this really be the power of two Soul Kings?"

"Even an ordinary Soul Sage couldn't unleash this kind of power. This is terrifying!"

Thinking this, Black Shadow Leader forcibly calmed himself and looked up at the siblings.

"Both of you, I had no intention of offending you. I was merely entrusted by someone to retrieve something. This has nothing to do with us!"

Hearing this, Ye Hanxue said furiously, "Hmph, entrusted by someone? Here to retrieve something?"

"To call stealing something so shamelessly is truly unbelievable!"

"What do you take our Forget Worries Pavilion for?"

With that, Ye Hanxue flung out another volley of Huayang Needles at Black Shadow Leader.

Seeing this, Black Shadow Leader could only dodge the Huayang Needles once again. He then threatened Ye Hanxue.

"You little brat, I'm a powerful Soul Sage. If you force me into a corner, neither of you will get off easily. Why don't we each take a step back?"

"What do you say?"

Black Shadow Leader appeared calm as he issued his threat, but in reality, he had no other choice. He had been tormented for so long inside Forget Worries Pavilion and had just been poisoned.

Although the two opponents looked young, their combat strength was far from ordinary. The elder sister's poison and flying needles were too formidable. Based on what he had experienced inside Forget Worries Pavilion, the younger brother beside her definitely possessed the ability to control the elements. If the siblings joined forces, he certainly wouldn't be able to defeat them. Besides, he wasn't a combat-type soul master, but an agility-type soul master.

Hearing Black Shadow Leader's words, Ye Hanxue hesitated and carefully considered them. However, Ye Zifeng, the brains of the three siblings, analyzed the situation at a glance.

"Heh heh, you were toyed with by me in Forget Worries Pavilion for so long and were injured as well. Just now, you were struck by my sister's Huayang Needles. You must have been poisoned by now, and your Soul Power is probably almost unable to circulate, right?"

Hearing Ye Zifeng's words, Ye Hanxue immediately realized what was happening. She shouted furiously at Black Shadow Leader, "Damn it, you dared to trick me! Die!"

With that, she flung another volley of Huayang Needles toward Black Shadow Leader.

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Black Shadow Leader hurriedly circulated all the Soul Power he could still use. His fourth soul ring lit up.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

"Fourth Soul Skill—Dark Soul Devouring Claw!"

In an instant, countless enormous black claws appeared around Black Shadow Leader and reached toward Ye Hanxue.

Seeing Black Shadow Leader counterattack, Ye Zifeng feared that something might happen to his elder sister and immediately made his move.

"Zhen Character—Lightning Law!"

With that, a white bolt of lightning, charged with supreme yang and power, shot toward Black Shadow Leader ahead of the needles.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out in the air. All the black claws were shattered by the white lightning, which continued toward Black Shadow Leader.

In truth, with Ye Zifeng's current strength, his lightning shouldn't have been able to disperse Black Shadow Leader's Fourth Soul Skill so easily. However, Black Shadow Leader's skill was an evil technique, and his Soul Power was insufficient, preventing him from displaying its full power. Moreover, lightning was an object of supreme yang and power that drove away all evil. It happened to counter Black Shadow Leader's Fourth Soul Skill, which was why it was broken so easily.

The white lightning struck Black Shadow Leader, and the Huayang Needles followed close behind. An explosion erupted where Black Shadow Leader stood, accompanied by his agonized scream.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

"Ah!"

After the smoke cleared, Ye Hanxue and Ye Zifeng looked toward the center of the explosion.

Black Shadow Leader lay on the verge of death. Not a single part of his body was uninjured. His entire body had been charred black by the lightning, while three Huayang Needles had pierced vital acupoints. His life force was slowly fading away.

In the end, he could only swallow his final breath unwillingly before the siblings.

Seeing this, Ye Zifeng cupped his hands toward the surroundings and shouted,

"Neighbors, a thief broke into my Forget Worries Pavilion tonight, so we made a bit of noise. I'm sorry for disturbing everyone. Truly, I apologize!"

With that, Ye Zifeng gave his elder sister Ye Hanxue a meaningful look.

Seeing her younger brother Ye Zifeng's gaze, Ye Hanxue also stepped forward and shouted toward the surroundings,

"But our Forget Worries Pavilion isn't a place you can enter whenever you want and leave whenever you want. I hope none of you will cause trouble for no reason or come here looking for trouble just because you have nothing better to do. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."

"If this happens again, you'll end up just like these two!"

With that, Ye Hanxue flicked a drop of poison toward Black Shadow Leader's corpse and the Black Shadow subordinate in the distance. When the poison landed on the two of them, they instantly dissolved into pools of blood.

After finishing everything, the siblings exchanged a glance and walked back toward Forget Worries Pavilion together.

As soon as they returned to Forget Worries Pavilion, Ye Zifeng hurriedly found a stool and sat down, exhausted.

"I'm exhausted. I've used up all my Soul Power!"

Indeed, because he had been facing a powerful Soul Sage, Ye Zifeng had gone all-out with every attack, causing his Soul Power to be completely depleted.

Hearing this, Ye Hanxue quickly walked over and sat down opposite Ye Zifeng.

"I'm fine. I only used Soul Power when using the Huayang Needle Technique. I used medicine at all other times."

"By the way, how did you determine that someone was definitely watching everything outside?"

Faced with his elder sister Ye Hanxue's puzzled question, Ye Zifeng adjusted his posture, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly savored it. Drawing out his words, he said, "Of course..."

Hearing this, Ye Hanxue looked expectant. Then another voice came from him.

"Of course, I'm not sure."

Realizing that her good-for-nothing younger brother had been playing with her, Ye Hanxue's anger steadily rose as she sat there.

Immediately afterward, Ye Zifeng said leisurely, "We made such a huge commotion. Don't you think it's too quiet outside?"

"I only suspected it because, after we dealt with those two, I felt that everything was too quiet."

"Of course, if someone was watching, then this serves as a warning to them. If no one was watching, then that's even better."

"Anyway, it's always best to be careful. I'll handle the brainwork. Your walnut-sized brain is useless even when you use it, so you're not suited for this kind of high-IQ task."

"Also, I'm going to sleep. I'm too tired today, so I'm going to get a good night's sleep. Don't disturb me unless something happens."

After Ye Zifeng finished speaking, he walked toward his room.

He completely failed to notice that his elder sister's anger had already reached its peak. She slowly walked toward the idiot, placed a hand on his shoulder, and stopped Ye Zifeng from leaving.
