Chapter 736: Chapter 443: Undefeated_2
As for what to do after the Spirit Stones were exhausted, Logan felt like he was between a rock and a hard place. He thought that if he could delay even a moment, and once the Holy Daoist along with others refined the Holy Life Elixir and joined forces with him, they would still possess the strength to fight when facing the sudden onslaught of a formidable enemy.
Ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones were infused into the array, and the cracked array was instantly repaired. This took the Demon Race General by surprise. Not only did the other party have powerful array setting skills, but they also had so many Top-Grade Spirit Stones? Top-Grade Spirit Stones were incredibly rare; even he had only about a dozen.
Of course, it was just a fleeting surprise. How many Top-Grade Spirit Stones could the other side have? Strike after strike, he refused to believe the barrier could be endlessly reinforced.
Logan was in quite an awkward position now. The situation absolutely could not continue to deteriorate. If the array could not last an hour, when the time came, everyone on his side would suffer.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He suddenly made a decision. Since the battle was inevitable, why should he hide behind the barrier? He decided to go out and confront the Demon Race General, to show his own mettle.
Even though he only had the power of a Quasi-Saint, and even with an Emperor Weapon in hand, he could at most handle up to the fourth level of the Holy See. As for the Strong Ones of the eighth and ninth levels of the Holy See, he definitely could not beat them. However, things had come to this point, and he had no choice but to fight if there was even the slightest chance of victory.
With a flash, Logan appeared outside the Barrier. The Demon Race General attacking the Barrier was taken aback for a moment, then a look of contempt showed on his face. If Logan had continued to hide inside the Barrier, he might have survived a few more hours. Coming out like this, was he not simply seeking death?
The Demon Race General laughed out loud and said, “So you’re the Array Master of this barrier? Indeed, you have my respect. It’s a pity that you’re a Human and not one of our Monster Beast Clan. Today, you can only die.”
“We have no grudges between us, yet your Monster Beast Clan targets me time and again. Do you really think I’m without anger?”
Logan revealed the Emperor Weapon. He was not intimidated by the Demon Race General’s imposing aura. Although he could sense that the General’s power was at least at the eighth level of the Holy See, far beyond what he could handle, Logan would not lose his stance, at least not in front of his enemy.
At this moment, Daoist Ask-the-Dust was smugly triumphant, loudly saying, “Sir, quickly execute Logan. It was he who refined the Holy Life Elixir allowing the Holy See to refine it. If you do not eliminate him early, our enemy will refine even more Holy Life Elixir in the future, making it hard for the Holy See to simply wither and die.”
“You refined the Holy Life Elixir?” The Demon Race General was immediately shocked. He knew too well the importance of the Holy Life Elixir; every Star of the Holy See faced the time when their life span would be exhausted and needed the Holy Life Elixir to extend it. Logan’s importance was self-evident.
Although there were other Elixirs within the Monster Beast Clan that could extend life span, when compared to the Holy Life Elixir, they clearly paled in significance. It was just a shame that Logan was an Alchemist of the Human race. If he were of the Monster Beast Clan, wouldn’t that be delightful?
In the past hundred years, the Monster Beast Clan had lost quite a few Strong Ones of the Holy See, which was why they were always slightly inferior to the Immortal Realm. With Logan, however, everything would be completely different.
Furthermore, Logan was not only an Alchemist but also an Array Master. Judging from this Barrier, his array skills were no less than his alchemy skills. If such talent could be recruited into the Monster Beast Clan, it would be a significant boost in a future battle against the Immortal Realm.
“Young friend, the Human race is too weak. With your capabilities, why lower yourself? Why not join the Monster Beast Clan? We have abundant resources to nurture you. You are currently at the Quasi-Saint Realm, but with the support of the Monster Beast Clan, you will reach the Holy See within ten years.”
“Whether it’s alchemy or array setting, both require a grand amount of resources. The Sects of the Human race are insufficient, and they even harbor jealousy towards geniuses. Our Monster Beast Clan, on the other hand, is completely different; we would support you wholeheartedly, and seeking a good path for oneself is the right way.”
“Why not speak openly today? The Monster Beast Clan wants to take over the Ancient World, and the Human race does not have much time left. The Immortal Realm on the other side won’t possibly help the Human race. Only by joining the Monster Beast Clan can you survive. If you stand with the Holy See, you are doomed to have no good end.”
The Demon Race General, having taken a liking to talent, did not immediately make a move to kill. Instead, his demeanor changed as he offered his conditions to Logan.
Logan feigned contemplation as if he were tempted but in reality, he was just trying to buy time. It was naturally impossible for him to join the Monster Beast Clan. Logan had always been accustomed to his freedom, and once he joined the Monster Beast Clan, he would undoubtedly be closely guarded.
The moment the Holy Daoist saw Logan hesitate, he quickly said, “My lord, Logan cannot be trusted, allowing him into the Monster Beast Clan will surely lead to trouble in the future. He must be eliminated as soon as possible.”
On one hand, he bore a grudge against Logan, and if Logan joined the Monster Beast Clan, and should Logan convince the Demon King to kill him, the latter would definitely take action without hesitation, the thought alone sent chills down his spine.
On the other hand, it was envy; when the Monster Beast Clan came to tempt him, they did not offer him such substantial incentives, and even had an indifferent attitude, as if joining the Monster Beast Clan was a great honor for him, a stark contrast to the current treatment of Logan.
“Who are you to question my decisions?” the Demon Race General said, highly displeased, “You are nothing but a jumping clown, do you really consider yourself part of the Monster Beast Clan? If not for the fact that you still have some utility, I would have already crushed you with a palm of my hand.”
The Holy Daoist trembled and hastily stepped back several paces, “I dare not, my lord is just jesting, I only have the best interests of the Monster Beast Clan in mind, please do not blame me.”
“Logan, have you made your decision?” The Demon Race General ignored the Holy Daoist and turned to Logan, wanting to hear his decision. In truth, it didn’t require much consideration of the pros and cons, any normal Human would be able to tell which side was better.
Logan shook his head and refused, “I’m sorry, but I won’t be joining the Monster Beast Clan. It’s not that I have a strong attachment to the Human race, but why would I, Logan, stoop so low to live among others? It doesn’t matter if you came to recruit me, or even if the Demon King himself came, it also wouldn’t work.”
“Are you truly declining?” the Demon Race General’s expression changed, unable to believe the outcome. The offer he had made should have been enough to sway anyone, even considered a windfall from the heavens, yet Logan had refused? This was a direct slap to his face.
He couldn’t understand it; this kind of opportunity should be immediately accepted, without even a moment’s hesitation. As the Monster Beast Clan’s General, this was his first time recruiting talent, and to end in failure was a scenario that would surely invite ridicule from others.
Logan, appearing unperturbed, then spoke up, “Actually, I could join the Monster Beast Clan. I have just one condition, which you can surely meet a hundred percent. May I know if it is possible?”
“I knew it, you were just feigning rejection,” laughed the Demon Race General with a wave of his hand, “just say it, I hold a significant position within the Monster Beast Clan. Not just one, but I could accept a hundred conditions.”
Even in his heart, he was already thinking that having established such a significant achievement, the Demon King would certainly lavish him with praise and perhaps even provide him with more resources for cultivation.
“It’s quite simple; you and I are naturally incompatible. So, as long as you commit suicide right in front of my eyes, I’ll immediately report to the Monster Beast Clan,” Logan coughed and stated his condition, leaving the Demon Race General with a grim expression. The Holy Daoist and others could not help but snicker internally. Logan was truly a fool, not only outrightly rejecting the Demon Race General but also uttering such a statement to mock others.
Before, the Demon Race General and his ilk were anxious, fearing that if Logan truly joined the Monster Beast Clan, they would be in a dire situation. Thankfully, the situation had turned in their favor.
A formidable pressure erupted from the Demon Race General, and the surrounding area dimmed, “You little wretch, you are doomed today, I will ensure you die a thousand deaths.”
At this moment, Logan’s expression was equally grave, and as he held the Emperor Weapon in his hand, he too was gathering power. Should the other party attack, he was ready to counter at the first opportunity.
