Chapter 1059: Chapter 593: Breaking Barriers_2 Chapter 1059: Chapter 593: Breaking Barriers_2 Lily Blackwood scoffed coldly, knowing this human had some skill, but she didn't take him seriously.
However, upon seeing Little White's actions, she felt a twinge of distress.
“Little Fox, don't forget who you are. You are one of us, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. Yet you strike at your own kind for such a human. Do you still hold any loyalty to our clan in your heart?”
Lily Blackwood's anger stemmed from this betrayal, as a clan member favored outsiders over her own family.
Little White hung his head, feeling guilty, but his expression soon turned resolute.
“I'm sorry, elder. I know you are my kin and also my elder, as well as a good friend of my mother. I shouldn't have raised my hand against you. But please, I beg of you, elder, please spare my owner. He has always had my best interests at heart and harbors no other intentions. Please, let him go.”
Apart from pleading, Little White didn't know how else to resolve the conflict between them.
But hearing such appeals only made Lily Blackwood's heart grow even heavier.
“Stand up, Little White. You are a noble Nine-tailed Fox. How can you kneel so casually, especially for such a despicable human?”
“Little White, to degrade yourself for such a man, have you really become so lowly?”
“Don't you dare talk about Little White like that!”
Before Little White could respond, Logan, his face set in a cold expression, launched an attack at her.
Previously, he had been on the defensive, always guarding. This was the first time he had gone on the offensive, and his intention was clear.
He aimed to give this woman a lesson, a proper teaching.
“Little White is my Spirit Beast. What right do you have to insult her?”
Saying this, Logan found a tricky angle and launched a sneak attack.
Lily Blackwood was caught off guard and was indeed struck by his attack.
Struck hard in the waist, her form wavered.
After finally stabilizing herself, her facial expression was extremely ugly.
“You despicable wretch.”
However, Logan did not take her insult to heart.
“Despicable? You bully by exploiting your strength, take advantage of the weak. Can you honestly claim to be honorable and upright?”
“You!”
Lily Blackwood was choked, and for some reason, that made her even angrier.
“I've realized it's all because of you, all because you've beguiled Little Fox, preventing her from returning with me and even making her attack me. If I kill you, she will lose hope, and all of this will end.”
Lily Blackwood's face showed a glint of sudden realization as if she had pinpointed the root of all issues.
Logan:…
Nice guess, but no more guessing next time.
“What difference does it make? Whether it's because of me or not, don't think for a moment that you can kill me!”
He knew it was just an excuse she found, for she would never accept him anyway, whatever noble excuses she might claim, were just pretexts to kill him.
Logan didn't take it seriously, so he didn't shoot back anything.
But Little Fox was different; she was naive and took Lily Blackwood's words to heart immediately.
“No, elder, you've really misunderstood. My owner is a good man, he has always looked after me and taken me in. He hasn't done anything bad to me nor led me astray. I beg you, please don't kill him!”
“Little White, stand up, don't beg this woman. I don't need your pleading. It's just her excuse. She wants to kill me, and even without an excuse, she would still do it. No matter how much you beg her, she won't change her mind.”
“What…”
This was Little White's first experience of the treacheries of the human world, and he was somewhat dazed.
“Kid, you're clever!”
Lily Blackwood did not deny it, nor did she try to maintain a virtuous image in front of Little White, instead, an ironic sneer curled on her lips.
The conflict escalated once again into a serious fight, unlike the earlier mild skirmishes, this time both parties went all out, striking fiercely.
Seeing this, Little White naturally sided with his owner, defending him.
Although Lily Blackwood was frustrated by their lack of steel, she didn't forget to attack Logan.
She paid little mind to Little White, focusing solely on attacking Logan.
They fought like this until they reached the outskirts.
Amid such fierce combat, Lily Blackwood appeared unaffected, but the shock in her heart grew stronger with each moment, as did her wariness of her opponent.
It was unexpected that such a young man had already reached the Saint Realm and that his strength was so formidable, not at all unstable as one might assume.
Not only that, but his foundations were incredibly solid. He used some unknown array that continuously produced bizarre attacks, overwhelming Lily Blackwood momentarily.
It wasn't that she couldn't defeat him, but as they continued to fight, they couldn't determine a winner, and she was unable to secure a victory.
The opponent seemed unhindered, barely even gasping for breath.
Lily Blackwood was very angry.
However, she didn't show any signs of fatigue, only that the murderous intent in her eyes intensified.
Such a talented person, if not eliminated quickly, would eventually become a threat to her.
Lily Blackwood pursed her lips, but still allowed herself to express admiration.
“I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so capable.”
Logan didn't know whether her praise was sincere or sarcastic, his expression remained neutral.
“Thank you, but no matter how much you praise me, I won't hand over Little White to you.”
“You! Smooth talker!”
“Not a smooth talker, just stating a fact to my senior.”
An impervious and disrespectful person indeed made Lily Blackwood uncomfortable.
Since she couldn't break through his defenses, she didn't want to delay any longer.
“Earlier you were just lucky, but you can't always be this fortunate.”
Subsequently, she unleashed her full strength, and her imposing aura surged dramatically.
“Owner, be careful!”
As Little White spoke, he instinctively protected Logan.
“Senior's imposing aura is rising quickly, and her spiritual energy has greatly increased, Owner. It seems the senior was concealing her cultivation level before, showing us nothing of her true power until now.”
Logan nodded, acknowledging this without denial.
This fact provoked a hint of concern.
This member of the Fox Clan seemed more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
“Even so, Little White, your owner is no pushover and doesn't need your rescue. Move behind me.”
After he spoke, he pulled Little White behind him.
Little White was reluctant, but Logan used spiritual energy, and because of their contract, Little White had to comply eventually.
However, Little White was still unwilling to give up, continuing to caution Logan.
“No, Owner, let me stay in front. I'll shield you, and you'll be safer. Besides, I'm also from the Fox Clan. Even if she's tough, she won't harshly strike her own kind, but she doesn't like the Human race, and she might not treat you the same.”
Hearing such concerns, Logan felt somewhat gratified, yet he only smiled.
“I am well aware of these matters, but asking me to step back is absolutely out of the question. If the army advances, I will stand; if the water rises, I will hold. I, Logan, am not one to hide behind a woman.”
“Owner!”
“Enough, don't say more. Just obediently stay behind me and keep quiet.”
This was the first time he had spoken to Little White so sternly and in such a commanding tone.
Little White's concern was evident on his face, but he had no choice.
He could only prepare his trump card, ready to assist his owner at any moment.
If sacrifices and choices had to be made between his owner and his kin, he was truly sorry, but he would definitely choose his owner.
When Lily Blackwood's spiritual power recovered, she twisted her neck and appeared very pleased.
“I thought I wouldn't need to use my primal force against a mere Human like you, not needing to show my real skills, but unexpectedly, you actually pushed me to reveal my true capabilities.”
Logan's gaze darkened; although he hadn't used his trump card, he had never taken the battle lightly.
But all his efforts seemed to have only forced her to reveal her true capabilities.
