When the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast declared its intention, Logan knew that negotiations had failed. The urgent matter at hand was to pre-emptively strike. However, the gap in power was too vast. To defeat it, he had to use desperate measures and cunning to kill the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast.

Logan moved his hands in a technique, and in the next moment, he drew runes in the air using a hundred Spirit Stones to set up an array. The Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast noticed this and immediately attacked to prevent Logan’s plan.

Bart Cloud rushed forward to block the attack, facing off against the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast. Despite his breakthrough to the throne realm, theoretically making him as strong as a Perfect King’s Seat, Bart never had a serious duel. In his battle with the Saint Seat, he was not confident at all. He was pushed back a hundred steps in an instant, his arm felt as if it were shattered, twisting his face in horrendous fear.

Despite this, he stood his ground. He was willing to risk his life to protect Logan’s array construction. To him, his life was owed to Logan. Now, if it was for Logan, even dying was acceptable. The heavy gratitude he owed Logan was thus repaid. He is Logan’s guard. If anything happened to Logan, Bart would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

At this moment, another figure appeared. It was Lowen Shingo who had previously left. he unexpectedly returned: “We’re all companions. It wasn’t right for me to leave alone. After I ensured the Daoist’s safety, I had to return to lend Logan my support.”

He had thought it through before. Logan had asked him to return to his sect because they knew they were outmatched and wanted to keep him safe. But as a comrade, he couldn’t comfortably abandon them to leave. They had all been through a lot together. Logan was alone, bearing the wrath of the Beast King. That went against everything he stood for.

Lowen Shingo acted all of sudden, easing a significant portion of the pressure on Bart Cloud. However, the current situation was still far from optimistic. After all, Lowen Shingo was in the Throne Realm too and the two of them together could still not fight back against the domineering Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast.

Bart Cloud chuckled bitterly, full of deep emotion: “You could have left, but you chose to stay. Just like us, you are now caught in this situation. It won’t be easy to leave now. Perhaps today, we will all die at the hands of the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast. However, we should still fight with everything we have. It’s a rarity to be able to fight a Half-Step Saint Seat.”

“Don’t be too pessimistic. It’s still uncertain who will survive in the end. After all, Logan is still constructing that terrifying array. He always makes miracles. If he can construct the array successfully, we might stand a chance to kill the Half-Step Saint Seat, even though there’s a big difference in our realms. Miraculous events like this have happened before.”

Lowen Shingo, who was fighting the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast, replied: “Besides, the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast is fighting at reduced strength because it’s distracted with saving the Beast King. As long as there are no issues with the Heavenly Saint Daoist, it will be easy for us to hold on for an hour. In short, as long as we fight with all our might, even if our chances of survival are slim, there’s still a glimmer of hope, right?”

“None of you three can escape!” The Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast was utterly incensed. It could have killed Bart Cloud with a single strike earlier, but Lowen Shingo had popped out of nowhere, completely derailing its plan. However, this didn’t change the inevitable outcome. Over the years, the number of Kings who have died at its hands were at least in the dozens if not hundreds.

Enraged, it increased its combat power by ten times, summoning the Heavenly and Earthly Laws with the power of its bloodline. It seemed as if even the land lent its support. Millions of demon beasts from the mountains kept rushing over, boosting the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast’s momentum to the extreme. On the other hand, Logan and his companions were in a precarious state, seemingly on the brink of death.

Facing such dire straits, Bart Cloud didn’t have the slightest hint of hesitation or fear. After glancing at Logan, he immediately launched an attack on the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast. Even though he was gravely injured and thrown a hundred meters back with a single blow, he gathered all his remaining strength and rushed over again. He knew that as long as he was still breathing, he would do his utmost to buy time for the battle.

Seeing this made Logan anxious, but he was helpless as the array was only half-constructed. It needed at least three more minutes to be completed. So all he could do was watch and hope that Bart Cloud and Lowen Shingo remained safe. Once the array was active, it would create a barrier that would decrease the power of the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast by 70%.

Three minutes passed in an instant, and Bart Cloud and Lowen Shingo were hanging on by a thread. At this moment, Logan was burning with rage, glaring at the arrogant Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast, wishing he could swallow it whole.

As soon as the array was completed, a sudden barrier enveloped everyone. An oppressive force made its presence known, weakening the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast constantly, rendering its techniques and Beast power useless. It wanted to escape the barrier, but it was all too late.

It fell from being a Half-Step Saint Seat to being a Dominator in an instant, giving birth to a sense of crisis. After all, it had to face three enemies alone who were all Perfect Kings Seats. Moreover, their rage seemed to have swelled to its peak, as if they wanted to devour him.

Logan threw two Elixirs their way. After Bart Cloud and Lowen Shingo caught and ingested them, he said: “Take these. Your injuries should heal quickly. I’ll fight the enemy first. Once you’ve recovered, the three of us will kill the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast together. Let’s get back everything we lost before.”

Logan brandished his weapon. Terrifying Divine Skills flew through the air at that moment, suppressing the enemy. At this moment, it felt like it was being oppressed by an ancient powerhouse, paralyzed with fear and helplessness. His strike hit the beast, leaving a wound on its body.

The Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast was driven to fury but was helpless. At that moment, Bart Cloud and Lowen Shingo recovered and surrounded the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast. The beast felt despair and was resigned to the fact that it was going to fall here today.

Bart Cloud, having received the brunt of the beast’s attacks, was eager for revenge. He executed his three strongest moves, leaving three more wounds on the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast. The bloody wounds were an unnerving sight. It hadn’t been beaten this badly in a hundred years, but it still refused to admit defeat.

It didn’t mind its death, but the thought that the Beast King was still trapped, filled it with regrets. If it had used all its strength to kill Logan, wouldn’t have it already rescued the Beast King by now? Possessed by this thought, the Half-Step Saint Seat Demon Beast chose to self-destruct.

“With the power of my origin, I not only want to break your array, but also shatter the barrier trapping the Beast King. It’s the least I can do. I hope the Beast King will be safe and continue to lead the rise of the Beast Clan.”
