Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 786: Chapter 468: Peaceful Sky_2

The danger was immense, the slightest misstep could lead to my own demise. But for the moment, this was the only way. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to break out of this predicament, let alone be Wyatt Nango’s opponent.

Watching Logan stand still, Wyatt Nango sneered and stepped forward, unleashing his divine skill. Thousands of Great Laws and spells shone as bright as flames, causing Logan to feel like his body was about to explode. Fortunately, his consciousness was still somewhat clear, and he took this opportunity to strike back.

The next moment, Wyatt Nango was sent flying, unable to believe that Logan would rather suffer a loss of a thousand to harm the enemy by eight hundred. Did he really have to fight to the death with me? That’s just too terrifying. Such a person is very difficult to deal with because, even if you have the power to crush your opponent, a great battle will still leave you with a splitting headache.

As Wyatt Nango tried to stand up, he discovered over a dozen wounds on his body eating away at him. Logan’s Thunder and Lightning Laws were far too terrifying, and the damage from that one hit left Wyatt Nango unable to mount an attack, looking as though he would faint at any moment.

At this time, Logan’s state was similar. Wyatt Nago’s attack had left him without the strength to fight. He was also barely holding on but knew he couldn’t fall. The moment now was about who could keep up their momentum. Once one party even slightly lowered their head, they would be the loser of this battle.

Logan walked over step by step, roaring as he grabbed Wyatt Nango, “So what if you’re at the Saint Seat Seventh Level? In the end, you lost. Weren’t you asking me to kneel and apologize just now? Now, with a single thought, I can erase you.”

“You wouldn’t dare,” Wyatt Nango, now in panic, was running out of strength and terrified that Logan might act on his threat, leaving him truly dead.

He glanced at a few of his minions and barked, “You all just stand there and watch? Come over here and save me, or I’ll annihilate all of you.”

Hearing Wyatt Nango’s order, the guards looked at each other, naturally wanting to save him, but Logan was too frightening. Even the young master was no match for him. Wouldn’t they be going to their deaths? So, none of them moved, hesitating, which truly infuriated Wyatt Nango.

“What a bunch of fools!” Wyatt Nango cursed continuously, not understanding what they were afraid of. Logan was seriously injured, and his own subordinates could easily kill Logan.

Logan obviously did not want these people to come and save Wyatt Nango, so he tightened his grip on Wyatt Nango’s neck, “Stop shouting. Even if they really wanted to save you, it would take them three instants to get here, while it only takes me a moment to crush your throat. Weigh the consequences yourself.

After hearing that, Wyatt Nango lost any semblance of temper and his face grew even more panicked. He hadn’t imagined he’d ever be in such a sorry state, but sadly Logan’s words were true. His life was indeed in the other’s hand, so, he had to think of a way to escape first.

“Don’t make a move. I’m the young master of the Nango Clan. If I suffer even the slightest damage, you will face endless pursuit out in the Outer Domain.”

Wyatt Nango’s bluster left Logan unfazed, “The Nango Clan? Never heard of it. But even if they are powerful, it’s useless. Once I set my mind to kill, no one can stop me.”

“Who exactly are you, not to even recognize the Nango Clan? The Nango Clan occupies a hundred thousand miles. Among them, we have thousands of Sanctuary Powerhouses, even three Half-step Saint Emperors, and one Quasi-Saint Emperor.”

“Our Supreme Elder of the Nango Clan has even reached the Saint Emperor Realm and is considered a renowned Strong one in the whole Outer Domain world. Moreover, the Nango Clan has established cooperation with over a hundred Family Clans. Once the Nango Clan raises its voice, the other clans will also take action.”

Wyatt Nango, frustrated to the point of wanting to spit blood, continued, “If you let me go, I can promise you opportunities that will quickly advance your cultivation. Merely reaching the Saint Seat First Level in the Outer Domain makes you a common strong one. You were lucky to win against me today, but if you encounter other strong ones, you’ll be in trouble.”

“Release you?” Logan said with an amusing smile, “Having you in my hands, I have a leverage. On the contrary, once I let you go, I would certainly face endless pursuit, especially from the Nango Clan you mentioned. I think you might as well accept your fate and stop trying to trick me.”

“What do you want to do then, do you really dare to kill me?” Wyatt Nango asked, while Logan pondered for a moment. Obviously, he did not want to provoke the pursuit of a major power, especially being a stranger in the Outer Domain. But if he truly released Wyatt Nango, he would be subjected to pursuit just the same.

How could he protect himself? Logan racked his brains, feeling like he had fallen into a checkmate, unless Wyatt Nango could return and not mention anything to the Nango Clan. But how could he make Wyatt Nango fearful enough to keep silent about today’s events? The only strategy seemed to be taking an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

But Logan was unclear whether swearing an oath in the Outer Domain would hold any public credibility, and whether breaking it would result in punishment by the Heavenly Dao. This was something he couldn’t figure out, and asking Wyatt Nango would be of no use since the latter would obviously not tell him the truth. He could only verify it indirectly.

Wyatt Nango looked at Logan and said with composure, “You’re aware that whether I am released or not, the outcome is the same: a slim chance of surviving the pursuit. So why wouldn’t I kill you first?”

“Don’t kill me, I promise that once I go back, I won’t let the Nango Clan take action. I’m the Young Master, not the Family Head. The clan won’t go to great lengths for me, especially if I’m unharmed. Instead, they’ll just think I’ve lost face, after all, to be defeated by an unknown.”

Wyatt Nango kept pleading, making Logan reconsider, “If you really don’t trust me, I can make an oath in blood to be witnessed by the Heavenly Dao. Sanctuary Powerhouses, once they’ve made an oath, would face unimaginable consequences for even the slightest breach.”

“Fine,” Logan sighed in relief, as long as swearing the oath was effective. He glanced at Wyatt Nango, “Swear then. Remember, you must not only refrain from laying hands on me, but you must also be courteous when you see me.”

“I, Wyatt Nango, swear that I will never make a move on Logan, nor will I allow any member of the Nango Clan to know and pursue him. If I violate this, may the Heavenly Dao punish me.”

Logan nodded, then turned to look at his several servants, “You might not speak, but what about them? They’ll obey your orders, but I simply can’t be reassured. So, they too must swear they won’t reveal a word to the clan.”

At Wyatt Nango’s command, several guards took turns swearing oaths, and Logan immediately released Wyatt Nango, who only felt the sensation of living through a calamity. Narrowly, he had almost died at Logan’s hands. As a member of the illustrious Nango Clan, encountering such a situation was an unprecedented disgrace in his life.

Wyatt Nango waved his hand grandly, commanding, “Today I spare you. I hope you will be more low-profile in the future. Don’t act superior, thinking you’re invincible. I’m only at the Saint Seat First Level, yet I managed to beat you into a sorry state.”

It was a humiliating remark, but Wyatt Nango could not refute a single word. He just kept his head down, wishing to send away Logan, the harbinger of death, as soon as possible.

Logan too was at the end of his tether; after all, both sides had suffered a blow from the other. In reality, their injuries were the same; it was only Logan’s strong will that kept him going. Thus, he wanted to find a place to heal as quickly as possible. After a few more words, he quickly left the scene.

After Logan had disappeared, Wyatt Nango was seething with rage, reproaching his few subordinates, “You’re utterly useless. If you had helped me, how could it have come to this?”

Although he had sworn an oath, Wyatt Nango clearly didn’t intend to let Logan off. This was the most humiliating moment in his life, and he was determined to make Logan pay back a thousandfold.

“Young Master, please reconsider,” the guards were terrified, fearing that if the Young Master broke his oath, he would be punished by the Heavenly Dao, and they, having sworn the same, would also be implicated.
