Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 578 - 364: Kill_2

Chapter 578: Chapter 364: Kill_2

However, less is more. If they started a massacre here, it would only draw more people from the Demonic Sky Gate to hunt them down. Logan wanted to help the Lords, not to put himself in the center of the storm, that would be a loss.

The man coughed after receiving a hundred Spirit Stones: “You guys don’t seem suspicious. If you come across any injured people on your way, be sure to report it. You should move along now!”

The trio hastily proceeded forward. Yet, they were stopped by another group only ten minutes later. They were once again interrogated about their identities.

Logan and his companions employed the same ruse to pass this checkpoint successfully. However, the continuous interruptions were making Logan increasingly uneasy: “The journey ahead will surely be more dangerous. What if there’s a portrait of you at the next checkpoint?”

Since things had already come to this point, Logan decided to use his skill of disguise on Tanner Scarlet. Unless one was a powerful being above the Dominator level, normal Kings or even those at the Perfect King’s Seat would not be able to see through the disguise. Logan was pretty confident in his disguising skills.

“I wonder if we’ll be able to return to the Scarlet Clan at all!” As security kept tightening, almost every thousand meters there was someone from the Demonic Sky Gate checking. Tanner Scarlet felt his heart hanging by a thread. His own death didn’t matter, but he was concerned that he wouldn’t be able to inform the Scarlet Clan about the Demonic Sky Gate’s plans.

Tanner Scarlet looked at Logan and handed him a letter: “I wrote this letter with a few spies under the Lords. It is about the plot of the Demonic Sky Gate. I’m a burden now, but you two can stay out of this. I want you to take the letter back to the Scarlet Clan.”

“No need.” Logan did not take the letter. Now that his strength had improved, he could fight against a Quasi-Saint without losing a step. Couldn’t he protect Tanner Scarlet? As long as no powerful individual from the Sanctuary emerges, Tanner Scarlet would certainly be safe and sound.

Tanner Scarlet looked heavy-hearted. He couldn’t understand why Logan was so calm and composed. Perhaps he didn’t realize the terror of the Demonic Sky Gate. Two casual cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance against it. Even if the powerhouses from the sects didn’t act, many of the ordinary disciples were Perfect Kings.

As the group continued forward, suddenly a man like a skeleton appeared. After taking a look at Tanner Scarlet, a playful smirk appeared on his face: “Where do you think you’re going? Just obediently come back with me to the Demonic Sky Gate.”

“It’s the Fifth Elder, Skull Elder, of the Demonic Sky Gate.” Tanner Scarlet was shaken by the new arrival. He trembled as he explained to Logan and the others who this was, almost fainting from fear. He knew all too well the ruthlessness of the Skull Elder.

The man had achieved the Dominator Realm and once single-handedly slaughtered ten small sects. That scene was still vivid in Tanner Scarlet’s mind. And his only mistake was speaking a word against the Demonic Sky Gate, which resulted in the Skull Elder’s retaliation.

Logan, however, appeared unbothered. He glanced at the Skull Elder without interest. A mere Strong Dominator was not worth his attention. Bart Cloud, who was a Half-Step Sovereign, could handle this without any effort.

The Skull Elder walked towards them like a grim reaper: “Tanner Scarlet, you hid yourself in the Demonic Sky Gate for ten years. You fooled everyone. But now, all the spies of the Lords have been eradicated, leaving only you alive. Do you still intend to inform others of our plans?”

“I didn’t…” Tanner Scarlet stammered. He was immersed in despair, losing all hope of escaping. He figured even if Logan and the other were dauntless, they wouldn’t be able to beat the Skull Elder.

“If you escape, it will affect the entire Sect’s plan. Do you think you can run away?” The Skull Elder was less than three meters away from Tanner Scarlet. His chilling aura hit them like a blizzard, even making Bart Cloud shiver.

Then, the Skull Elder shifted his gaze to Logan and his companion: “No wonder you could hold on for so long despite being on your last breath, you found two big fools to help you. But how can they fight against the Demonic Sky Gate? You’re too na?ve. I’ll have two more lives to reap!”

Logan remained calm, laughing leisurely at this moment, “I’m not Tanner Scarlet’s henchman, but the way you’re talking to me is beginning to irritate me. What if I have to meddle in this? Do you really believe that you’re the God of Death just because you’re some skull elder?”

“You wouldn’t win,” Tanner Scarlet whispered, “We should all run in different directions in a moment. The Skull Elder would definitely target me, you two might still have a slim chance to survive. I hope you can expose the Demonic Sky Gate’s conspiracy to the Scarlet Clan.”

Logan shook his head. He was only facing a minor Strong Dominator, there was no reason to fear. If Tanner did not trust him, despite promising to ensure each other’s safe return to the Scarlet Clan, Logan would certainly honor his promise.

The Skull Elder began to take interest, giving a strange smile, “Interesting. Two arrogant youngsters who seem to have never heard of me. It’s a pity that by the time you understand the intensity of my power, it may be too late with only hell as your avenue for repentance.”

The immense aura of the Dominator Realm followed, applying an even heavier pressure onto Tanner Scarlet, as if a mountain was suspended over his head. The Skull Elder attempted to intimidate Logan with this move, but he realized he was wrong. Logan remained nonchalant.

The Skull Elder was astounded. Could it be that Logan’s strength was on par with his own, and he was unaffected by his aura? Of course, he didn’t want to admit this fact. He assumed Logan was pretending to be unaffected while likely being consumed by fear on the inside.

The Skull Elder was ablaze with anger, cursing, “Damn!” Suddenly, he made his move, swinging his claws that looked like white bones. In the mid-air, it was as sharp as the finest blade, the sheer force seemed to tear the entire space apart.

Bart Cloud made his move with a nonchalant smile. He blocked the blow with his big sword, then swiftly chopped down again, narrowly severing the skeleton claw. This swift strike brought intense pain to the Skull Elder, who immediately withdrew his claw.

As the Skull Elder’s first attack was unsuccessful, he launched another attack with his claw. This time, his claw was wrapped with countless spirit energy forming a massive phantom. On the other hand, Bart Cloud’s giant sword also slashed out a phantom blade. The two powerful moves collided.

Bart Cloud didn’t give an inch, and the Skull Elder also remained immovable like a mountain, seemingly a standoff. However, only the Skull Elder truly understood how weak he was, that fending off this attack had taken half his life. His Dantian was still churning with turmoil.

“You cannot handle it,” Bart Cloud leapt forward, continuously swinging his broadsword. Each strike overwhelmed the Skull Elder and came with a terrifying strength that puzzled the Skull Elder, who despite being a Dominator, was left clueless as to why his attacks were so powerful. freeweɓnovel.cøm

If he had underestimated his opponent initially, but after seven or eight rounds, he could feel the substantial gap in their powers. Even though he unleashed the strongest attack of a Dominator, he not only failed to suppress Bart Cloud but was continuously counteracted by him.

“Could it be, is he beyond a true Dominator?” The Skull Elder was reluctant to think so, but he had to admit that Bart Cloud was far stronger than him. Now he had only two options – either die in combat or flee from this place as quickly as possible.

Being a person who cared about his reputation, if word got out that he had run away in fear, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock within his sect? The Skull Elder had always been known for his ruthlessness and fearlessness. To have his reputation destroyed in an instant, he might as well bang his head against a wall.

Bart Cloud was slowly closing the distance, he sneered, “Why has the Skull Elder gone silent? Weren’t you arrogant just now? Continue if you dare.”

“My friend, the Demonic Sky Gate is not something you can handle. I’m just a minor elder, above there are Half-Step Saints and Quasi-Saints. How about you give up Tanner Scarlet, we can forget all that happened earlier as a misunderstanding. Otherwise, if I return empty-handed, our Sect Leader will undoubtedly make a personal appearance.”
