Chapter 1227: Chapter 677: Manifestation of the True Lord_2 Chapter 1227: Chapter 677: Manifestation of the True Lord_2 As everyone’s hearts were filled with unease, Logan’s voice rang out once again, but this time it carried a hint of amusement that was hard to detect, “It’s not impossible to spare you, but first you must offer something valuable for exchange. If I’m satisfied, I might just let you off the horse.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere among the crowd became subtly charged. Some showed anger on their faces, thinking that Logan’s actions were undoubtedly like looting a burning house; others were secretly pleased, seeing it as a good opportunity to get closer to Logan.

Among them, a cultivator dressed in a luxurious robe, with a cold countenance, was burning with rage. He clenched his teeth, his fury rising, and stood up abruptly to face Logan, his voice low and resolute, “Logan, you are far too arrogant! As the saying goes, ‘One can be killed, but not humiliated.’ You have already stolen so many treasures from me, and now you have the audacity to ask for more in exchange? Who do you think you are?”

Upon hearing this, Logan’s expression remained unchanged, he simply glanced at the cultivator with a hint of disdain in his voice, “Who do I think I am? I am, of course, Logan. In this Cultivation World, who doesn’t know my name? As for those treasures you mentioned, huh, if it weren’t for my methods, would you have obtained them so easily? Now, I am merely taking back some things that belong to me, while giving you a lesson in passing.”

The cultivator was trembling with fury at Logan’s words. He clenched his fists as if trying to suppress the breaths that sought escape. However, faced with Logan’s unfathomable power and majestic aura, he ultimately did not dare to act rashly.

Just then, Elder Talon Skyler slowly stood up from amongst the crowd. His face was solemn, and his gaze swept back and forth between Logan and the cultivator. Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “Master Logan, we acknowledge that we were in the wrong in this matter, please believe that we had no malice. As for the exchange you mentioned, we are willing to offer some precious medicinal ingredients and magical treasures as compensation, in hopes that you will show us leniency.”

Logan’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this. He took a glance at Elder Talon Skyler, then swept his gaze over the others, and finally nodded, “Alright, since you are willing to offer compensation, I will give you this opportunity. However, I hope you remember this lesson and avoid making the same mistakes in the future.”

Having said that, Logan turned and left, leaving behind a group of cultivators with complex expressions. They watched Logan’s retreating figure, silently reflecting on the lesson learned and planning for the future.

As time passed, the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range once again returned to its usual tranquility. The grudges between Logan and the people gradually faded with the passage of time. However, the incident of the exchange had etched an indelible memory in everyone’s minds.

They knew that Logan was never one to suffer a loss. Although the incident cost them, it also made them profoundly aware of Logan’s strength and dignity. In the future, they would certainly be more careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.

And Logan, through this incident, had once again solidified his status and reputation in the Cultivation World. Through his strength and wisdom, he had shown everyone what it meant to be a true Strong One and had taught a profound lesson to those who attempted to challenge his authority.

On that somewhat gloomy afternoon, deep in the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range, a tense standoff was taking place. Logan, the Alchemy Master, stood face to face with a man, the atmosphere between them as tense as drawn bows.

“You have already stolen so many of my possessions, how am I supposed to give you anything now?” the man clenched his teeth and glared at Logan with resentment and anger in his voice, “If you have the guts, then just let me go and have a fair fight with me, and let’s see who can win!”

Hearing this, a flicker crossed Logan’s eyes as he gathered his thoughts. He stared at the man, pondering inwardly. Indeed, he had taken some treasures from the man, but it was to teach this presumptuous fellow a lesson. However, it seemed that the man was not willing to let things go.

“Fine, I’ll let you go,” Logan suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with amusement, “But be prepared, because in this battle, I intend to give it my all.”

Having spoken, Logan flicked his hand, releasing the binding enchantment on the man. The man staggered, nearly falling over, but quickly steadied himself. His eyes widened as he looked at Logan, as if not daring to believe his own ears.

“You…you’re really going to let me go?” the man tentatively asked.

“Of course, when I, Logan, give my word, I always keep it,” Logan chuckled lightly, and drew his sword, its light flickering and its chilling aura intense, “But prepare yourself mentally, for this battle might be the toughest one of your life.”

Taking a deep breath and with a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes, the man knew that the battle was inevitable, and he would have to face it head on. He summoned his Flood Dragon, which roared and circled above his head, its eyes fixated on Logan with unmasked fury.

“Come then, Logan, let me see just how strong you really are!” the man yelled, charging at Logan with his sword.

Logan chuckled again, and with a swift movement, he easily dodged the man’s attack. He countered with his sword, engaging in a fierce battle. They exchanged blows, swords clashing, and the surrounding valley echoed with the sounds of their combat.

However, after a few exchanges, the man began to feel overpowered. His strength had already been severely compromised, and fighting Logan only added to his exhaustion. Panting heavily, a flicker of panic crossed his eyes. He knew he was on the brink of collapse.

“Logan, you… you’re too strong…” the man said between breaths, his voice carrying a touch of helplessness and despair.

Upon hearing this, Logan chuckled, the light of his sword flashing as he easily evaded another attack. Looking at the man with a hint of pity in his eyes, he said, “You should never have challenged me. Now, I’ll grant you a swift end.”

With that, Logan swung his sword, and a streak of light like lightning enveloped the man. The man cried out in alarm, attempting to dodge, but it was too late. The sword’s light passed, and the man’s figure froze in place before slowly collapsing.

Upon seeing this, the Flood Dragon let out a mournful cry, attempting to avenge its master. But Logan simply waved his hand, and the dragon was held in place by an invisible force, unable to move.

“Flood Dragon, you have seen the consequences of challenging me,” Logan said calmly, “However, if you submit to me, I will spare your life.”

Torn, the Flood Dragon’s eyes conveyed its struggle. But in the end, it bowed its head, indicating submission. Logan chuckled lightly, sheathed his sword, and walked away.

Peace once again settled over the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range, as if nothing had ever happened. Yet for the man and the Flood Dragon, the battle was an unforgettable memory. They understood the unfathomable strength of Logan and would never dare challenge the Alchemy Master again.

And Logan, through this battle, had once again proven his own strength. With his sword, he made it clear to all that to challenge him was to court self-destruction. He also taught a profound lesson to those who sought to provoke him. In the days to come, his name would become a legend in the Cloud Hidden Mountain Range and throughout the entire Cultivation World.

Seeing this, Logan sighed helplessly, reflecting inwardly, “To think he could fight me with such feeble strength, he’s truly delusional.” Shaking his head with disdain in his gaze, he withdrew his attention from the man, knowing the outcome of the battle was already determined.
