Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 580: Chapter 365 Hundred_2

“Right, I’ve heard you took out a letter at the Demonic Sky Gate detailing their conspiracy. You can hand it over to me now with full confidence. Lord will definitely handle this impartially and join forces with other lords to deal with the Demonic Sky Gate; we won’t let them succeed.”

Tanner Scarlet chuckled and then replied, “The letter must be personally delivered to the Lord. I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but the matter involved is significant, and only the Lord should see it.”

“Why isn’t it appropriate for me as Vice Lord?” The elder seemed suddenly alarmed, and then promptly apologized. “Sorry, I got a little heated just now. What I mean is, shouldn’t I be allowed to check the letter first to ensure there are no issues before letting the Lord see it?”

Tanner Scarlet’s eyes shone with a hint of suspicion. He felt that this elder was acting strangely. Why would he apologize for a minor disagreement? He had never been treated this way, and the demand to hand over the letter upon their first meeting was peculiar.

“Stop pretending and show your true self!” Logan said. “There’s no need to put on a show in front of us at this point.” As Bart Cloud was poised with the divine weapon, ready to strike, Logan would be the first to attack if the enemy attempted to do so.

The elder laughed heartily and transformed back to his original form, saying, “Well, isn’t that a fine thing? You all are so clever that you saw through my flawless disguise.”

“The Grand Elder of the Demonic Sky Gate, Half-step Saint Seat.” Tanner Scarlet stammered on seeing the true face of the elder. “He’s also known as the Blood Butcher, having bled a thousand miles all by himself, leaving no survivors or greenery wherever he went, and is number one under the leadership of the Demonic Sky Gate.”

“Those are mere rumors. I have always been amiable and approachable.” The Blood Butcher responded with a smirk. “I am curious about how you found out it wasn’t right. I thought my act was flawless, fully tailored right down to my choice of words.”

“You were too amiable,” Tanner immediately replied. Although the Scarlet Clan does not bully the weak, how could a lord of such high stature be so amiable? The Demonic Sky Gate doesn’t understand the other lords and their power; they assumed that the two would directly oppose each other.

In reality, the major Lords and the Demonic Sky Gate are not so different. What sets them apart is their methods of cultivation, and if all the Lords were genuinely as amicable as they appear, there would be no discrepancies. Such a scenario only exists in their dreams.

Logan gave a faint smile and said, “To be honest, your disguise was good, but my abilities are above yours, so you can’t deceive me.”

“Your acting was abysmal,” Bart Cloud also chimed in. He considered himself rather dull but managed to sense something was off after the Blood Butcher spoke a few words. A Vice Lord would inherently question his identity, yet she did not harbor a hint of doubt.

It wasn’t strange for the Vice Lord of the Scarlet Clan to know Tanner Scarlet, but how could she know about Logan and himself? The first instinct upon meeting should be suspicion and interrogation. Only after confirming that they were not harboring dubious intentions would the Vice Lord discard any resentment toward them.

Without showing any frustration, the Blood Butcher accepted their views, “I understand. I will learn from this experience. Although I failed today, it doesn’t affect the big picture. I won’t let you three advance further. Your fate is to go to Hell.”

The Blood Butcher exuded an extreme level of confidence, boasting a name that sends chills down one’s spine. However, Logan remained unperturbed and even seemed amused by the Blood Butcher’s threats, who seemed to have not taken Logan’s words into account.

“Let’s get down to it!” Logan was ready to go. In the past, he could fight a Semi-Saint to a draw, but after his breakthrough to Dominator, he had yet to encounter a worthy opponent. He wanted to see how many moves it would take him to defeat a Semi-Saint.

From his calculations, considering this was a breakthrough to a higher realm, he was confident he could incapacitate the Blood Butcher in under ten moves. If it took more, it would indicate Logan’s recent promotion wasn’t a significant one, and he would need to exert more effort in the future.

Looking at Logan’s expression, the Blood Butcher felt an inexplicable sense of fear. “What’s going on? I saw no fear in his eyes, just excitement. Only those whose abilities far surpass mine would have such a reaction.”

However, he could not believe that Logan was stronger than him. He had always been confident in his own strength, the only ones with a higher cultivation realm being either the Sect Leaders of a Super First-class Sect or the several Lords nearby. But Logan did not seem to be from one of these forces no matter how he looked at it.

Logan unsheathed his divine weapon and with a single strike, he confronted the incoming attack. This scene left the Blood Knife in disarray, but he quickly launched a counterattack.

In less than three rounds, Blood Knife realized his grave mistake. Logan was too terrifying. Each of his moves, his rules and divine skills, were all devoured. Even when he used his strongest move, it was like a rock sinking into the sea.

“Above Half-step Saint Seat?” Blood Knife felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. Before this, he was so confident that he had promised the Sect Leader that he would certainly bring Tanner Scarlet back and also take revenge for the Skull Elder. At this moment, he regretted taking on this responsibility. Who was this backup that Tanner Scarlet found?

Usually, if one couldn’t win, they could retreat. But now, Blood Knife clearly had no such option. Once he left, Tanner Scarlet would return to the Scarlet Clan, and the plans of the Demonic Sky Gate would be known to the several Lords. They had been scheming for so many years, they couldn’t fail because of one person.

Every attack Logan made left a wound on Blood Knife. After reaching the Half-step Saint Seat, one’s body had an extremely strong self-healing ability, and ordinary wounds couldn’t harm him at all. However, Logan’s attacks were like enchanting rules, continuously nibbling away at the wound.

Blood Knife was scared, not just of Logan’s overpowering strength, but also the enigma that was Logan. What force could cultivate such a powerhouse like Logan? The Demonic Sky Gate had always cooperated with Sanctuary Powerhouses, but those stronger than a Sanctuary Powerhouse were at least three hundred years old.

Clearly, Logan must have a significant background. Crucially, after learning he was from the Demonic Sky Gate, he showed no concern at all. From this, Blood Knife had started to consider who the master behind Logan could be. Perhaps it was a Sanctuary Powerhouse, or perhaps even more than one Sanctuary Powerhouse as his escort.

But at this point, no matter who Logan was, the plan of the Demonic Sky Gate must not be leaked. Otherwise, once the several Lords were prepared, they would not be able to launch a surprise attack. Although this wouldn’t affect their subsequent plans, the Sect would suffer a significant loss.

Blood Knife took a deep breath and ignited his spirit: “In the Demon Path, there’s a unique skill which allows cultivators to sacrifice their soul to enhance their power. Today, let me show you a rise in power ten times over. None of the three of you can escape.”

Tanner Scarlet watched in shock. This technique could indeed forcibly enhance one’s power, but it would cause irreparable damage to one’s spirit sea, equivalent to halving one’s soul. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t worth it, but this also proved that Blood Knife was left with no choices.

Yet, Logan with a stern face walked over there, interrupting Blood Knife’s blood sacrifice with a casual strike. He sent his opponent flying several dozen meters away. He really thought that Logan would stand there like an idiot waiting for him.

Although Blood Knife was injured, the blood sacrifice was completed. After increasing his power tenfold, he charged again and clashed with Logan, but he was shocked to find that even though his power had increased, he still couldn’t gain any advantage over Logan. He was even full of wounds.

With a single blow, Logan sent Blood Knife to hell. Originally, he did not want to be a rampant killer, but Blood Knife’s repeated provoking greatly annoyed him. Naturally, he didn’t show any mercy. Even when faced with the Beast King and Heavenly Saint Daoist from the Saint Realm in the past, Logan had never been afraid.

Then, he turned back to Tanner Scarlet: “Let’s go. The Demonic Sky Gate won’t send anyone to intercept us anymore. We will soon reach the Scarlet Clan’s city!”

“Alright.” Tanner Scarlet was stunned for a moment, but immediately caught up. It all felt like a dream. Just like that, the Blood Knife of the Demonic Sky Gate was gone?

Thinking carefully about this day’s journey, the Demonic Sky Gate had sent two Grand Elders over. But without exception, all of them were eliminated. Their Sect had lost a third of its force. He had to say, he had really unintentionally walked into such a fortune.
