Chapter 828: 489 Chapter: Divine Taia_2

Snow Wood’s strength was greater, and his reaction speed was also faster; he vanished from his spot in an instant.

Logan did not dodge, but instead stood his ground with a solemn expression.

He had already realized that under normal circumstances, Luke Skyward would not have been able to evade their previous attack, yet he did. This meant that he must have had an ace up his sleeve that they had not anticipated.

Massive black whirlwinds stirred up behind Luke Skyward’s wings, causing the flames that were meant to restrain the battlefield to flicker in and out of visibility, unstable within the wind filled with Demonic Qi.

Logan’s array was also forcefully breached by Luke Skyward, and the unexpected backlash caused Logan to bleed a few drops of bright red blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Interesting.”

Spiritual Power once again surged around Logan as he fed an Elixir given to him by Nineteen into his mouth while burning 20 million Spirit Stones. With a 20-fold amplification plus the boost from the Elixir, he refused to believe that Luke Skyward could withstand this strike that even Little Three couldn’t completely endure.

With a 20-fold increase in power, Logan was confident that he could contend with the Saint Emperor.

Luke Skyward could never have imagined that the Spiritual Power within Logan’s body seemed endless, impossible to exhaust no matter how much he used.

Importantly, he was able to unleash two punches that surpassed the limit of his own physical capabilities!

When the impact of Spiritual Power approached, his wings instinctively wrapped around his body. Luke Skyward clenched his teeth but still felt the shake of heaven and earth despite the heavy protection.

One could say that an ordinary person may have been blasted into a meat patty by such a strike, but not only did the Sect Leader of Sky Demon Sect remain unmoved, even Luke Skyward himself did not budge.

As the dust settled, Logan saw a huge black protective barrier at the center of the battlefield, a pity that it was now riddled with cracks, a clear sign that the previous strike was not something an average person could stop.

Luke Skyward coughed up blood, his wings already scarred and battered. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Logan as if he was looking at an archenemy.

“Logan! I must admit, I underestimated you!”

Logan remained silent; by now he had only 10 million Spirit Stones left. If Snow Wood continued to stand by and watch, then Logan feared he alone would not be able to win.

So Logan immediately looked in the direction of Snow Wood.

Snow Wood, suspended in mid-air, was mumbling to himself.

What had resembled flames in the clouds now seemed like a holy white light slowly descending from the sky.

The complexion of everyone who saw this white light changed.

The reaction was even more intense among those Cultivators who practiced the Demon Path.

“This is simply too despicable, knowing we Demon Cultivators don’t have much of an advantage in this competition, and now they even resort to using the Light of Extinguish Demon. Isn’t this a sign that they don’t intend to leave us any way to survive?”

“Damn it, I’m going to fight those organizers!”

“Well said, brother, using the Light of Extinguish Demon to insult us is just unbearable!”

The halo descended from the sky, slowly lowering, and with each fraction it dropped, the light cluster became brighter.

Luke Skyward had never expected such an accident to occur; he immediately started to spew Demonic Qi from the Demon Realm, enveloping himself in darkness.

Having never learned about the Light of Extinguish Demon without a system, the Sect Elders had only hoped Snow Wood could use this method to temporarily contain Luke Skyward; they did not truly plan to fall out with the Demon Cultivators in this competition, therefore the power of the Light of Extinguish Demon was not very great.

Unfortunately, the suppression effect was indeed too strong, and despite being laden with countless treasures and vitality, Luke Skyward still instinctively dove into the Demonic Qi.

Logan prepared to launch another attack, with Spiritual Power already gathering around his fist.

If Snow Wood exerted pressure, then he could hold back a little, only using 10 million Spirit Stones to attack Luke Skyward.

However, before his attack could land on Luke Skyward, a nimble figure overtook her, brandishing a Longsword as it rapidly navigated through the dark purple Demonic Qi.

Snow Wood’s entire presence was sharp and severe, as if Logan had never known the person before him at all.

In his heart, Logan was still somewhat surprised. He had thought that during their brief encounter, he had come to know what kind of person Snow Wood was, but he felt estranged from this side of her.

Before Logan could continue to marvel, Snow Wood had already taken advantage of the distraction caused by the Light of Extinguish Demon to silently move right in front of him.

The beautiful longsword, red as the morning glow, was pressed against Luke Skyward’s chest, which was swirling with Demonic Qi, in just an instant.

Snow Wood did not deliver a killing blow because she knew this was just a match, and it was enough to stop when a point was made. If she truly went too far, it would likely be difficult to bring the match to a close.

Her longsword shifted downward by two inches and she thrust it fiercely.

It was this sword thrust, taken unawares, that caused Luke Skyward to spit out a mouthful of dark red blood, and only then did he notice Snow Wood, who had stealthily appeared before him like an apparition.

He had initially been on guard primarily against Logan, believing that Snow Wood would likely want to conserve her energy.

Now it seemed, Snow Wood was not the kind of person who would only sit back and reap the benefits of others’ work.

Logan had rarely seen cultivators of the present engage in close-quarters combat, especially since the moment he first saw Snow Wood, he was convinced that she was a long-range fighter. This move truly opened Logan’s eyes.

This kind of close-quarters combat was a surprise for both Luke Skyward and Logan, though it was enough to catch Luke Skyward off guard, Logan was not so easily surprised.

Although Logan was an Array Master, he had also shown close-quarters combat skills in previous matches.

So even if Snow Wood had kept her close-quarters combat as her trump card for their later showdown, Logan believed he would be able to react in time.

The host, seeing the outcome was decided, immediately began to announce that Luke Skyward had lost.

Luke Skyward had never imagined that, with Logan’s attack seemingly more ferocious and drawing more of his vigilance, Snow Wood’s feint attack would catch him completely off guard.

Spitting blood, Luke Skyward’s face was still full of scorn; he had not expected that the cultivators, who prided themselves on their righteousness, would stoop to a sneak attack akin to the techniques used by demon cultivators.

“To think I believed I could have a fair fight with you. Now it seems you’re just thieving mice who would use sneak attacks. The day we meet on the battlefield, I shall spare no expense.”

Luke Skyward’s words were spoken through clenched teeth, unable to believe how easily and carelessly he had been defeated.

Logan had also not expected this, originally thinking that Snow Wood planned to reap the benefits from the sidelines, but instead, she switched to close-quarters combat without hesitation after Logan had drawn out Luke Skyward’s trump card.

There were probably no more astonishing moves left for Snow Wood now.

“Now, there are only two contestants left on stage. What kind of performance will they bring us? Let’s wait and see.”

After the host announced this, the atmosphere in the arena spiked once again.

Luke Skyward still stood on the stage without descending, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes clearly showing his unwillingness to accept defeat.

After all, losing to a tactic he deemed despicable was undoubtedly displeasing to him.

In his mind, he repeatedly replayed the moment when his body was pierced by the longsword, feeling not just the pain but endless humiliation.

He dared not imagine how his master would humiliate him should he step down like this.

So, just as he was about to leave the battlefield, he turned around, his eyes unabashedly filled with hatred, and threw a spherical object onto the stage.

All of Snow Wood’s attention was focused on Logan, contemplating her strategy for the upcoming fight with him, and she did not hear the sound of the small sphere landing.

Logan, on the other hand, had always suspected that Luke Skywalker would pull a trick, so he watched his every move and caught this one in his sights.

While he didn’t understand what the small sphere was, his instinct told him it was certainly not anything good.

The next moment the sphere burst into an extremely dazzling light, causing everyone present to involuntarily close their eyes.
