Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 732: Chapter 441: Demon Buddha, Quickly Put on This Saddle_2

Watching as the situation suddenly ground to a halt, Holy Daoist intervened in haste, attempting to smooth things over, “As for the others, when Daoist Wen Chen took action, they were not there, and they also rushed over at the earliest opportunity, guarding loyally for several hours. Even if they made no contribution, they also did no wrong.”

“You haven’t lied, but you’ve glossed over some matters. At that time, there were nine others here who were tempted by Daoist Wen Chen to strike against me. Just because you let them off the hook doesn’t mean I am so forgiving. If you make mistakes, you must pay the price.”

Logan’s gaze swept around, his voice cold, “These nine must die. If they don’t pay the price, I definitely won’t hand over the Holy Life Elixir, and all of you will bear the consequences together.”

Upon hearing this, the dozens of Sanctuary Powerhouses panicked. They urgently needed the Holy Life Elixir to extend their lifespans, but now the elixir was in Logan’s hands, leaving them helpless.

Consequently, these dozens of people erupted in fury, “Where are those nine just now? Stand up yourselves; don’t jeopardize us all. Having chosen to side with Daoist Wen Chen, you still want Logan’s Holy Life Elixir at this point?”

“We nine have indeed erred, but it was a momentary lapse. Besides, we haven’t caused a disastrous outcome. Hasn’t Logan come out of this unscathed?”

After much hesitation, the nine had no choice but to step forward as they certainly couldn’t hide; the dozens of people probably would have unearthed them in minutes.

“The reason I remain unharmed is partly due to Holy Daoist’s intervention, and partly because of Mountain Saint Taoist’s arrival. Had it not been for Holy Daoist and Mountain Saint Taoist, would you possibly have had a change of heart?”

Logan took a step forward, and the Emperor Weapon in Holy Daoist’s hand flew towards him, “I’ve always been one to avenge wrongs. The nine of you have indeed chilled my heart. Does crafting the Holy Life Elixir benefit me in the slightest? I don’t need to increase my lifespan; I am painstakingly dedicated to all of you Sanctuary Powerhouses.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With one strike of the Emperor Weapon, Logan unleashed a terrifying blow that split the sky and shattered the earth. The nine hastily used their Divine Skills to defend themselves and barely managed to withstand the attack, which was only because Logan was exhausted and could only exert half his usual power; otherwise, the nine would have surely been injured.

Seeing Logan truly enraged, Holy Daoist once again interjected, “Can you spare their lives? As members of the Human race, they are an indispensable force against the Monster Beast Clan. There are only this handful of Sanctuary Powerhouses among the Human race, losing even one is a pity; to say nothing of losing nine at once.”

Counting on them?” Logan scoffed. If these nine could be easily misled by Daoist Wen Chen with a few words, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t betray again in the future. Better to kill them now once and for all. As for the threat of the Monster Beast Clan, were we really depending on these few dozen Sanctuary Powerhouses?

While Logan didn’t want to cause a massacre, he was also unwilling to compromise for the sake of appeasement. Whether these nine were bewitched or it was indeed a fleeting lapse of judgment, having harbored the intent to kill him and chosen to side with Daoist Wen Chen and his five confederates, Logan couldn’t afford to give in today.

Then, he turned to the remaining two dozen or so Sanctuary Powerhouses, “If you desire the Holy Life Elixir, then come and lend me your strength. I aim to slay these nine; this matter must be resolved. Only one victor will stand between me and them, and if I lose, the Holy Life Elixir will be destroyed alongside.”

Upon hearing this, what was there to hesitate about for the more than twenty people? Matters of life and longevity were at stake for everyone, so naturally, they flocked to support Logan. They were already extremely displeased with these nine or, more accurately, felt that these nine were idiotic, nearly causing the Holy Life Elixir to be unattainable.

Watching this scene, the most troubled was Holy Daoist. He was inclined to save these nine, but with the current situation out of his control and Logan clearly resolute, particularly with over twenty people aiding him, the nine were undoubtedly doomed today.

Having formed a relationship with these dozens of people since the Ancient Secret Realm, Logan had demonstrated exceptional intelligence, a cultivation speed seen only once in a century, and, in addition to that, leniency. All along, it was Logan who had assisted these dozens of people, accruing several debts of gratitude owed to him.

But this time, Logan was determined to show everyone that he was a man with a temper, and that choosing to be his enemy would only lead to Hell, driving the lesson home to the remaining twenty-plus people so that in the future, they would shudder at the mere mention of today’s events when faced with someone else’s seduction.

The nine people’s faces were ashen; fighting Logan alone offered them a sliver of a chance at victory, but when facing over twenty Holy Sees, they were naturally as insignificant as ants. Now the only thing they could do was to try and grab the Holy Life Elixir and flee.

But grabbing the Elixir meant they first had to defeat Logan, yet with an Emperor Weapon in Logan’s hands and over twenty people not giving them a chance, it was clearly an inescapable death trap.

Logan had wielded the Emperor Weapon and struck again, with more than twenty Holy Sees assisting on the side. Their combined Divine Skills rained down like a storm, leaving the nine in complete disarray. In just under three rounds, all were gravely injured. They exchanged glances and decided to go all out, even going so far as to sacrifice their own Dantian bloodlines.

Once matters had escalated to this point, even if Holy Daoist did not wish for the nine to perish, he knew he could not change the outcome. He was on Logan’s side to begin with, so he used his Divine Skills to suppress the combat power of the nine, but even with their Dantian bloodlines sacrificed, they were no match for Logan.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and in the end, the nine fell one by one. With Logan’s final move, everything came to an end. Looking at the nine corpses on the ground, Holy Daoist sighed deeply, waved his hand to erase all traces, and prepared to bury the bodies later.

All grudges had come to an end, and Logan put away the Emperor Weapon, “Now to divide the Holy Life Elixir. There is only one, so to ensure that each person gets an equal share, it will be divided into thirty parts. There are twenty-six of us present, plus Cloud Sky Taoist who’s in the Eastern Territory—I will keep three parts for myself.”

No one present objected. The Holy Life Elixir belonged to Logan to begin with, and having a share that could extend their lifespan satisfied them completely. After all, the Holy Life Elixir could only be used once; even if they were given an extra portion, it wouldn’t multiply their lifespan, so they harbored no excessive desire for it.

Logan divided the single Holy Life Elixir into thirty portions and distributed one to each person. Those who received their share were overjoyed; their lifespans were only about a year or so long, but now they suddenly had an extra hundred years ahead, which was exhilarating to contemplate.

“If you hadn’t appeared all of a sudden, the Demon Clan Envoy would have certainly succeeded. I cannot thank you enough. If you ever find yourself in trouble, I, Logan, will definitely lend a hand.”

Logan approached Mountain Saint Taoist and offered him a portion too. The Taoist had previously borrowed the Qian Kun Bead from him due to his short lifespan, so he definitely needed the Holy Life Elixir. Besides, he had stood by Logan’s side in the battle, a favor that Logan remembered!

Mountain Saint Taoist was astonished. He had originally come to return the Qian Kun Bead, fulfilling the promise made half a year earlier, but he had not expected such a tremendous stroke of luck.

“I have used the Qian Kun Bead over the past half year to add more than a decade to my lifespan. Now with the Holy Life Elixir, I am truly overwhelmed. Half a year ago, you were not yet in the Dominator Realm, and you were so weak in front of me. Now that you’ve reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, it truly shocks me.”

Mountain Saint Taoist took out the Qian Kun Bead and solemnly returned it to Logan. Logan had transformed drastically, especially with the Emperor Weapon he had just wielded. If the two were to battle now, Mountain Saint Taoist didn’t stand much of a chance, despite being at the fifth level of the Holy See.

Logan accepted the Qian Kun Bead. He was in urgent need of it since advancing from Quasi-Saint to Holy See typically required hundreds of years. With the altered time flow provided by the Qian Kun Bead, he could significantly shorten his cultivation time and break through to the Holy See sooner.

“After taking the Holy Life Elixir, you’ll need at least seven days to refine it. Let’s not rush; we must first ensure safety. If, for example, someone from the Monster Beast Clan attacks while you are in the midst of refinement, you won’t have any ability to defend yourselves at that time.”

Just as the people were about to take their portions, Logan suddenly spoke up, prompting everyone to pause and feel relieved that they had hesitated, for the consequences could have been unthinkable.
