Chapter 1209: Chapter 668: Jialan_2 Chapter 1209: Chapter 668: Jialan_2 Logan gave a slight smile–he was not afraid of the Evil Cultivator's threat. He knew that he now had the upper hand, and as long as he persisted, he would certainly be able to defeat the Evil Cultivator.
“Then bring it on,” Logan said, “let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve.”
The Evil Cultivator roared in fury, waving the Demon Soldier in his hand, and launched another fierce attack on Logan. However, this time, Logan chose not to take the attacks head-on but cleverly dodged the Evil Cultivator's assaults while looking for an opportunity to counter.
Their figures moved swiftly across the mountaintop, weaving a trail of brilliant Spirit Light. Although the Evil Cultivator's attacks were fierce, they could never touch Logan's body. And Logan, through his repeated dodging, gradually found the Evil Cultivator's weak spot.
Finally, in a fierce clash, Logan seized an error made by the Evil Cultivator and landed a heavy punch squarely on his chest. The Evil Cultivator staggered back as if struck by a heavy blow, and blood once again spurted from his mouth.
“You… you actually…” The Evil Cultivator looked at Logan in terror, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that he would be so thoroughly defeated by a youth of the Righteous Path.
Logan looked at the Evil Cultivator with a trace of pity in his eyes. He knew that the reason why the Evil Cultivator had come to this point was also that he had once lost his way and strayed from the Righteous Path.
“Evil Cultivator, you still have a chance to turn back,” Logan said. “If you are willing to lay down your killer weapon and become a Buddha on the spot, I might consider sparing your life.”
The Evil Cultivator fell silent for a moment. Then he slowly shook his head.
“It's impossible,” he said, “I'm too deeply mired in the Demon Path to extricate myself. Rather than being captured by you Righteous Path Cultivators, I would rather die in battle here.”
Having said that, the Evil Cultivator once again waved the Demon Soldier and launched his final attack on Logan. However, this time, Logan did not give him another chance. He quickly dodged the Evil Cultivator's attacks while looking for a fatal blow.
Finally, in a fierce collision, Logan's Spiritual Energy pierced through the Evil Cultivator's defenses, striking directly at his vital point. The Evil Cultivator's body instantly stiffened, then slowly fell to the ground.
Logan looked at the corpse of the Evil Cultivator without much emotion. He knew that this battle was just a minor interlude on his path of Righteous Cultivation. He would continue to uphold the Righteous Path, fighting for justice.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. Feeling the Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth gathering around him once again, Logan knew his path of cultivation was still very long. But he also believed that as long as he stayed true to the Righteous Path and harbored justice in his heart, he would go even further.
In the midst of a vast Ancient Forest, sunlight filtered through the sparse branches, casting mottled shadows upon the ground. Here, an unknown confrontation was quietly unfolding.
The Qilin, once a majestic Demon Beast, now appeared somewhat disheveled. He had thought that with his strength, he could roam freely in this world. However, when he tried to mobilize his full power, he was shocked to find that his strength had not fully recovered.
“What… what is going on?” The Qilin was alarmed, unable to believe his own eyes. He clearly remembered that before his slumber, his strength had reached its peak. So why had he become so weak now?
He suddenly looked up at Logan, not far away. This young human was watching him with a playful look in his eyes. A surge of anger welled up in the Qilin's heart, and he roared, demanding, “What have you done? I couldn't possibly be this weak! Unless it was that old being…”
Logan heard this, his lips hinting a faint smile. He did not directly answer the Qilin's question, but slowly said, “Qilin, do you think you are really powerful? In The World, there are many people more powerful than you. The sole reason you've become so weak is because of yourself.”
“Impossible!” the Qilin roared, “I am the Demon Beast King, how could there possibly be anyone stronger than me? You must have used some despicable tricks!”
Logan shook his head, not wanting to get entangled with the Qilin over this issue. He knew, no matter how he explained, the Qilin would not believe him. So, he changed the subject, “Qilin, instead of questioning me, you might want to think about what you're going to do next.”
Hearing this, the Qilin was momentarily stunned. He indeed had not considered this question. He had thought that once his strength was restored, he would easily defeat Logan and this human boy. But now, his strength greatly diminished, he likely couldn't even deal with Logan.
He clenched his teeth, his heart filled with unwillingness and anger. However, facing Logan's indifferent eyes, he was unable to lose his temper. He knew he was at a disadvantage, and any forced action would only put him in an even more dangerous situation.
Just then, Elder Talon Skyler suddenly spoke, “Qilin, don't be too impulsive. Logan hasn't done anything to you. The reason your strength has not recovered is that you haven't fully awakened yet. You need time, time to gradually regain your strength.”
The Qilin paused, looking at Elder Talon Skyler, and noticed that the Elder's gaze was not so sharp but rather carried a slight sense of scrutiny. This made him feel a bit relieved; at least, Elder Talon Skyler was not siding with Logan.
“Elder, is what you say true?” the Qilin asked tentatively.
Elder Talon Skyler nodded, saying slowly, “Of course it's true. Though you have awakened, your soul hasn't fully merged with your body yet. This will take time, and it will require your effort. As long as you keep going, your strength will surely recover.”
Upon hearing this, a surge of hope welled up in the Qilin's heart. He looked at Logan and found an encouraging look in his eyes. This warmed his heart; he knew he wasn't fighting alone.
“Good! I believe the Elder's words!” the Qilin said firmly, “I will work hard to recover my strength, and then I'll come back to settle the score with you!”
With that, he turned and left, disappearing into the Ancient Forest. Logan and Elder Talon Skyler exchanged a smile, knowing this confrontation was not over. But they had confidence that no matter what difficulties they would face in the future, they could overcome them together.
Logan turned to Elder Talon Skyler, gratefully saying, “Elder, thank you. If you hadn't appeared in time, I might have been defeated by the Qilin.”
Elder Talon Skyler waved it away, speaking indifferently, “No need to thank me. I just did what I had to do. Besides, I see potential in you. I believe, in the future, you will certainly become a Strong One.”
Hearing this, Logan felt a surge of enthusiasm. He gazed into the distance, his eyes sparking with determination. He knew his journey was long, but he also knew that as long as he persevered, he could surely reach the end.
So, he took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. He felt the power inside him begin to concentrate; he knew this was the start of his journey towards becoming a Strong One. In this unknown journey, he would face many challenges and opportunities. Yet, no matter the difficulties, he would not give up. Because he believed in himself, and in the future.
In a tranquil valley, sunlight broke through the sparse clouds, casting mottled patterns on the ground. Elder Talon Skyler and a young man stood shoulder to shoulder, their gazes focused on Spirit Mountain not far away. There, a powerful aura was stirring, as if some unknown force was surging in the shadows.
“I think I'm beginning to understand the problem here.”
