A group of people quickly shouted, telling Logan not to move forward anymore and to first inform everyone of the trick. However, Logan did not pay any attention to them, because stopping would definitely trigger the array’s attack.
On the other hand, this group of people were too noisy and no longer useful to him in exploring the Secret Realm. So, he decided to let them stay behind while he went alone to search for the Saint-Seat Fortune.
Jia n Aoqi was furious but helpless. He could only watch as Logan moved away from the Rubble Pile. He knew that among the remaining dozen people, all of them were good-for-nothings and couldn’t see through the array like Logan. They had to find another way.
“As a High-ranking Overstep, if I use my Divine Skill to rush through with full force, it would take just three monts. However, the fallen stones are falling too fast, and I will definitely get hit by one.”
Jia n Aoqi suddenly had a good idea, “Folks, there’s a way that half of us can make it through while the other half has to act as cannon fodder. Any willing alliances?”
“My idea is simple – the stronger half will form an alliance and have the other half blocked by the stone attacks. We can safely reach the other side, and isn’t it all worth it?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone’s faces varied. Those who had already reached High-ranking Overstep were delighted, as this was a good solution. However, so Middle-level Transcendents had a hard ti hiding their displeasure, because Jia n Aoqi clearly ant to sacrifice them.
But who was willing to give their life for others? All of them ca from different major families. Jia n Aoqi’s family was indeed stronger than the others, as they had a Dominating Realm expert. However, it did not an that Jia n Aoqi could dominate the Secret Realm.
Soone was the first to stand up and oppose, lambasting Jia n Aoqi, “Why should I? I’m not willing to sacrifice myself. Even if I lose this opportunity, I’ve already decided to leave now.”
So of the weaker cultivators also followed and voiced their objections, as this had to do with their lives. Yet Jia n Aoqi just scoffed coldly, and a terrifying Divine Skill was launched against them.
As a Middle-level Transcendent, he blocked the attack due to the limited gap between levels, and soon a battle erupted between both sides.
In the end, Jia n Aoqi ordered all the strong beings to unite and jointly pursue the rebels. They managed to hold on for only about ten rounds before succumbing to Jia n Aoqi’s onslaught.
“You weaklings now have only one choice – either join us to deflect the falling stones or be executed right now. We advise you to think it through since the stones might not necessarily attack.”
At this point, the six weaker individuals were frightened. Jia n Aoqi was terrifying. Killing a companion without hesitation? They were sure that if they refused, they would end up like the one who had just been killed.
They nodded their heads, agreeing reluctantly under Jia n Aoqi’s threats. Crossing the Rubble Pile at least gave them a fifty percent chance of survival, whereas disagreeing would an losing even that chance. It was a clear choice for them.
With a wave of his hand, Jia n Aoqi dashed through the stones like a remnant shadow, and another person followed. After all, they were used as sacrificial pawns to block the deadly strike from the falling stones for Jia n Aoqi.
However, everything went smoothly, and in three monts, the two reached the other side of the Rubble Pile with no attack from the stones.
Jia n Aoqi was bewildered, but quickly realized the key. As long as you didn’t stop, you would not trigger the array’s attack, and naturally, the stones would not fall.
After a while, the other five groups of people also ca over, and they didn’t encounter any stone attacks either.
Although they were still a team, there was already a lot of resentnt. Half of the team mbers had been forced into sacrificing themselves by Jia n Aoqi. Even though they were safe now, they still held this grudge against Jia n Aoqi. They couldn’t do anything to him for now, but one day they would take their revenge in secret.
Jia n Aoqi gritted his teeth. He was not aware of his mistake, and instead pushed all the bla onto Logan. Knowing how easy it could’ve been, why didn’t Logan remind him at the ti?
If the solution had been revealed, Jia n Aoqi wouldn’t have had to kill his companion and tarnish his image. Now, the most pressing task was to find Logan. Jia n Aoqi was determined not to let Logan survive.
After passing the Rubble Pile, Logan did not continue forward but leisurely waited on the side, as he was aware that Jia n Aoqi would surely find a way to reach him eventually.
A confrontation between them was inevitable. Instead of moving forward, it was better to let the battle occur here, where at least the Rubble Pile would obstruct the escape route and enable Logan to kill Jia n Aoqi.
Before, Logan could kill a Throne; killing a group of High-ranking Oversteps should not be too difficult now.
Jia n Aoqi and the others didn’t walk far before they encountered Logan. Hatred filled their eyes as they glared at each other, and Jia n Aoqi angrily took out his Dharma device.
Logan stretched lazily, “Not bad, you do have so smart people here. I thought I’d have to wait an hour for you, but it only took half a 15-minute stick for you to cross the Rubble Pile safely.”
“Logan, this is where we settle our past and present grievances. Your bones will fill the Rubble Pile.”
Jia n Aoqi’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. From the mont he saw Logan, he had been dismissive of him, considering him just a minor myth. He didn’t know how many of them he had killed already.
The eleven people by his side also took out their Dharma devices, preparing to assist Jia n Aoqi in suppressing Logan. He didn’t believe that Logan’s strength was so heaven-defying that he could single-handedly fight against more than a dozen people.
Jia n Aoqi gestured, stopping everyone from intervening. “I alone am enough. You guys can watch from the sidelines. One High-ranking Overstep against a Myth, where would I put my face if we all fought together?”
“This will certainly be your worst decision. You had a slim hope of winning with a dozen of you, but by yourself, you’re just a drear.”
Logan activated his weapon and launched his Divine Skill attack first. The horrifying sword strike silenced the space, and even the Rubble Pile they had just crossed fell due to the impact.
This sword strike horrified Jia n Aoqi. He retaliated with his own Dharma device, but the effect was not ideal. Although he successfully blocked, his Dharma device now had cracks and seed ready to explode at any mont.
Was this an attack by a little Myth? Jia n Aoqi questioned himself in his heart, but he had to maintain a relaxed facade in front of the spectators.
“I just used thirty percent of my power. Now I’m going to get serious and show you how a Myth can kill a High-ranking Overstep.”
Logan sneered coldly, and the second strike was launched imdiately. This ti Jia n Aoqi was unable to parry, and he was forced to retreat four or five steps. His Dharma device now had a large gap.
