Translator: 549690339

In order to save the Beast King, the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast launched a full-force attack on the array barrier. However, not a crack could be found. This made him frown as he suddenly thought of the array that Logan had used before. Could it be based on the same principle?

If that were the case, by his own power he definitely couldn’t break the array. After all, his last attack had been futile even after a full hour, and he himself had been trapped inside. If not for Logan’s act of kindness, he would have completely lost his way.

The Beast King saw that the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast’s efforts were fruitless and urgently said, “If you can’t break the array, then go and capture Logan and his companion, torture them to reveal the secret to breaking the array. Hurry, I can’t withstand Heavenly Saint Daoist for more than an hour, the hope of the entire demon beast clan relies on you, Half-step Saint Seat. Once we survive this calamity, you will be handsomely rewarded.”

“I understand, my king.” The Half-step Saint Seat demon beast turned around to face Logan and his companion, his ferocious killing intent exploding in that moment, causing Bart Cloud to continually retreat in fear. After all, this Half-step Saint Seat was no match for their insignificant Throne, with a full two realms of disparity between the two,

Panic washed over the Heavenly Saint Daoist as he viewed the scene. Logan and his companion were too weak; they were clearly not match for the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast and might not even survive three rounds. Once they were killed, he would be caught between attacks. His most urgent priority was to kill the Beast King swiftly, ensuring his victory before advancing unscathed.

If the Heavenly Saint Daoist had been holding back before, he now attacked as if insane, deploying various killing moves and Divine Skills one after another. Because the Beast King’s focus was outside, he was caught off guard and hit multiple times. However, with hope restored, the Beast King renewed his fighting spirit.

Even as the Beast King watched the frenzied Heavenly Saint Daoist, he parried and responded in mockery, “Are you getting impatient? Your little victories were fleeting. How much time can your two helpers buy you? I am in no hurry at all – I could fight for another year or so without any problems. Logan and his companion, on the other hand, will be nothing but skeletons.”

“Enough with the nonsense.” The Beast King’s words struck a nerve with the Heavenly Saint Daoist, who in his moment of murderous rage dismissed the idea of small talk. He hoped that Logan and his companion were not as useless as they seemed. If they were easily killed by the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast, well, all three of them could go to hell together. He himself already had a foot in the grave, this was the final glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Logan stared at the approaching Half-step Saint Seat demon beast. Understanding that a major battle was imminent, he recalled his previous encounter. He wouldn’t last ten rounds. This time, the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast was more ruthless than ever, sure to deploy lethal moves at first strike. Logan had no plan, his only choice was to take it one step at a time.

Meanwhile, the cowardly Bart Cloud suggested in a whisper, “Should we run for it, let the Heavenly Saint Daoist deal with them on his own? In the meantime, we flee several thousand miles. Even if the Beast King recovers, where in the vast world is he going to find us? Staying here leaves us with no chance of survival, all things considered… it’s the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast, and we are all alone.”

Logan merely gave Bart Cloud a glance, wondering why his morale was breaking at this critical point. Fight they must at this point – the enemy wouldn’t let them escape. Logan was the key to unlocking the array barrier, so the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast had to capture him. The only reasonable strategy was to drag out as much time as possible. Once the Beast King fell, Half-step Saint Seat would no longer pose a threat.

“Half-step Saint Seat demon beast, you have been the master of the mountain range for a hundred years. Are you not at all dissatisfied about the Beast King usurping your position the moment he woke up? Isn’t it the dream of many beasts to become the new Beast King? We can work together, kill the Beast King, and I will support your control over the entire mountain range.”

Logan said with a playful smile, feigning calm, “Moreover, even if you fight it out, it will take a while to determine a victor. If Heavenly Saint Daoist wins, you will join the Beast King in hell. Weigh your options carefully, whether you want to rule above all as the Beast King, or serve the most humble servant under the Beast King, as I will certainly choose to rule.”

“Think about it, the Beast King is nothing more than a man of treachery. Logan once saved the Beast King, but he turned his back in the blink of an eye. Same goes for you, you’re risking your life to save the Beast King, but now, while the Beast King talks sweetly, will he truly reward you? Once you’re no longer of use, you’ll be discarded or secretly killed by him.”

Despite his fear, Bart Cloud joined in on the conversation. The Half-step Saint Seat demon beast paused in his tracks at this point. As much as he begrudgingly listened to the duo’s discussion, he had to admit they made a fair deal. The Beast King’s character was increasingly opaque, not a man of his word, but a sneaky trickster.

Whether he would end up like Logan was constantly on the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast’s mind, it was why he had been merciful towards Logan several times before. He was afraid, afraid that one day he might find himself in Logan’s shoes. However, he was still a part of the demon beast clan, and couldn’t defy the decree of the king, so he continued to serve the Beast King wholeheartedly.

The Beast King became restless within the array, shouting out urgently, “This is a scheme set up by them! I have always served the demon beast clan to the best of my abilities. If you listen to their nonsense, and I get killed, they will come after you next. And forget about helping you ascend the Beast King’s throne, the millions of demon beasts in the entire mountain range will disappear in an instant.”

“I swear right here, I will surrender half of my territory to you. From here on out, we will rule the demon beast clan together! If I, the Beast King, break this promise, may the Heavenly Dao smite me. Humans are known to be treacherous and cunning, you mustn’t fall for their tricks. If you turn against us now, you’ll be scorned by generations of demon beast successors.”

Watching the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast seemingly moved, the Heavenly Saint Daoist knew he couldn’t let the Beast King continue talking. He therefore intensified his attack, leaving the Beast King with no room to speak to the outside. The Beast King was desperate and helpless. Everything now depended on the choices made by the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast. If he sided with Logan, the Beast King would surely lose everything.

After a long bout of consideration, the Half-step Saint Seat demon beast finally spoke, “Logan, I must say, your persuasive words are indeed powerful. Anyone else might have fallen for your tricks, but you seem to have forgotten something crucial. I am, after all, of the demon beast clan. Why should I cooperate with the human race?”

“If I craved the Beast King’s throne, I could have killed him during his hundred-year slumber. Then why am I still here, faithfully guarding after a hundred years? Because I am ready to sacrifice everything for my demon beast clan, to rebuild its glory, for the Beast King.”
