Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1312 - Chapter 1312 402

Chapter 1312: 402 Chapter 1312: 402 And Mick was still alive.

Not because he had managed to extricate himself twice.

Not because the other party couldn’t kill him.

But because the other party never intended to kill him in the first place.

It was all… to hold him back!

At that moment, Logan suddenly felt a chilling sense of crisis, as if he had fallen into someone’s calculated trap.

…

However, in the blink of an eye, the battle between the two had already destroyed forests spanning several miles.

Everywhere were trees shredded by the storm, and the land looked as though it had been ploughed, a complete mess.

Compared to Logan’s shock, Leonard Churchill was fighting more and more casually.

For him, a Seventh Rank without any peculiar abilities was indeed the best opponent.

Indeed, from beginning to end, he had never taken Young Master Mick seriously.

Just as Logan had thought, keeping this man alive was only for restraint.

A dead man would allow his enemies to act without any care.

If you want to protect him, then you’ll have to see how much attention you’ll need to split to do so!

By the time Logan realized this, Mick’s value had vanished.

But in that time, it was enough for Leonard Churchill to steadily get acquainted with an unfamiliar opponent.

After all, the information he had received contained only some outdated intelligence; he needed to test the limits of the opponent’s combat power.

And just as he had expected.

Initially, Logan was worried about Mick getting killed and held back some techniques, which allowed Leonard to smoothly familiarize himself with the intensity of Logan’s combat power.

And when Logan understood this, Leonard had already completely grasped the opponent’s level of strength.

Indeed strong.

But still indeed about thirty to forty percent less threatening than the Thunder Dragonkin he had encountered in the City of Thieves previously.

Although it looked intense, the rhythm of the normal battle was entirely led by Leonard.

“You observed ‘Gale Sword Intent’, Sword Skill proficiency +99…”

“In the midst of battle, you’ve touched upon the secret of the ‘Wind Elements Domain’, Domain proficiency +33…”

“You gained Sword Skill experience +22, comprehended ‘Dual-Handed Gale Slash Lv1 (15/900)’…”

“…”

Enlightenment kept refreshing.

With the super-high Enlightenment from [JOKER], Leonard gained a massive amount of insight during the battle.

Although there were several moments when he was nearly killed, after reluctantly using [Black Demon], he knew he would not be defeated.

He was very clear that it would be quite a stretch to kill a Seventh Rank with his current strength.

But the opponent also couldn’t kill him.

The two sides thus fell into a tense war of attrition.

If they continued like this, Logan wouldn’t be able to maintain his Domain and his combat power would weaken; whereas Leonard’s dependence on Black Demon would bring about increasing risks.

Both sides were clear on this.

But neither could change the situation.

However, Leonard wasn’t the one who needed to be anxious about the current situation.

If it really dragged on, Catherine Carter’s reinforcements would soon arrive.

Although Leonard had never counted on others to interfere with his battles, doing so would take away a lot of the fun.

Even if he really couldn’t win, he could still escape.

He wasn’t facing that Spatial Ability Card Master from last time; Logan might be fast, but he wasn’t much faster than Leonard.

Leonard also had Ivan’s help, so escaping was not at all a problem.

But he knew that Catherine would definitely come.

Within twenty minutes at most, her people would arrive.

Logan was also very aware of this.

As time passed, Leonard gradually sensed a trace of urgency in his swordsmanship.

…

“Damn it! Why is this happening!”

Logan once again knocked Leonard flying away.

This was an unknown number of times that he had the upper hand in their clash.

But he knew it was futile because in a blink, Leonard would charge at him again, unscathed.

And sure enough!

The next second, that ghostly figure charged at him once more!

Logan raised his sword to block the kick.

The strange Gravitational Force transmitted through the sword, piercing through the Wind Elemental Shield, and struck his insides hard.

He, a mighty Seventh Rank, had taken dozens of hits and was starting to feel it.

But what worried Logan even more was something else!

Up to now, how could he not see that Leonard had long anticipated they would come to assassinate him.

Even this Fluorescent Forest was a trap deliberately set by the opponent, just to ensure that he couldn’t escape!

What he had thought to be a prime location for an ambush had turned into a trap for himself.

How many years had it been? Since he advanced to Fifth Tier over twenty years ago, he had never been so shocked by any formidable enemy.

Yet this time, his heart was tumultuous.

The target of this encirclement was not only ridiculously strong but the calculations were terrifying!

Even if Logan was slow to react, at this moment, he was absolutely certain that Catherine’s side had anticipated this assassination!

So… The moment he left, the situation for his family turned dire.

Logan’s heart grew more and more anxious.

However, realizing it now was already too late.

Because at that moment, he suddenly sensed several powerful presences quickly converging from outside his Domain through the wind.

At that moment, a bad premonition in General Logan’s heart became a reality.

With this development, that young Lionheart…seemed to have no intention of letting him leave alive.

He seemed to see his family’s future crumbling, and with a self-deprecating sneer, he thought, “The little Lionheart of the Lionheart family, everyone underestimated you, huh. Heh, ruthless and subtle… You really are a qualified leader.”
