Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 452: 267_1

“A hundred years ago, you were no match for me, and you are even less so today. I’ll allow you three moves and you can use all your divine skills. I assure you I won’t budge an inch because you’re so weak, it’s not worth me getting serious.”

The Heavenly Saint Daoist yawned nonchalantly, igniting a burning rage in the Beast King, who swore to make the Heavenly Saint Daoist pay. Perhaps he wasn’t a match a hundred years ago, but a hundred years have passed, and his strength remained as it was, whereas the latter was all out of steam.

The Beast King was about to activate his mana, but in a puff of smoke, the Heavenly Saint Daoist disappeared again. The Beast King was fuming with anger, being toyed like a child by the Heavenly Saint Daoist who continually provoked him.

Just as he was about to give chase, a half-step saint seat demon beast stopped him, “Beast King, don’t get impulsive… The Heavenly Saint Daoist has run away twice. Maybe he’s trying to lure us… to fall into a trap. Being here with no intention to fight, what’s his purpose?”

“I don’t think so,” the Beast King roared. “The Heavenly Saint Daoist must know he’s no match for me and is simply trying to provoke me. I’ll tolerate him this time, but if he dares to provoke me again, even if I’m walking into a trap, I’ll make him pay a heavy price.”

The Beast King shouted, his dignity was being toyed with as the king of this mountain range, known for keeping his word. What would others think if they heard about this? Would they think that the Sanctuary Powerhouse was nothing more than a cultivator who could be repeatedly humiliated by humans?

This was not just about him but also about the honor of the entire demon beast clan. Furthermore, a dying saint like the Beast King didn’t believe the enemy could turn the tide or set any traps. They were on the saint seat, and no arrays could work on them.

The Heavenly Saint Daoist smiled secretly, having fled twice, the Beast King would be at the zenith of his hatred. They say bad things come in threes, this time he must lure the Beast King into Logan’s trap. Whether they would get the Demon Beast treasure was all up to this time.

He decided, even if the Beast King didn’t take the bait, he would fight to the death, with the help of Logan’s elixir finally restoring his strength. He would seize this opportunity to fight for the supreme treasure. Once the three days passed, any chance to fight the Beast King would be forfeited forever.

An hour later, the Heavenly Saint Daoist showed up again, “Beast King, are you too scared after being insulted over and over again? It seems to be true that you were a coward a hundred years ago, losing once before, and have become an laughingstock as a king.”

The Beast King was cultivating when he was rudely interrupted by the Heavenly Saint Daoist’s taunts. He was going to let the Heavenly Saint Daoist pay with his life. He mustn’t allow history to repeat itself.

“Heavenly Saint Daoist, if you are a man of power, don’t cower and become a laughingstock. Have a decent fight with me. If you win, I’ll give you the supreme treasure of the demon beast clan. If you lose, you’ll bow and never set foot in these mountains.”

The Beast King appeared in front of the Heavenly Saint Daoist, his eyes blazing, replying that he had been tolerant towards the Daoist. But he was really annoying now. Even if they were on the same level, he couldn’t bear it, especially considering that the Heavenly Saint Daoist was already out of strength, yet still acting arrogant?

The Heavenly Saint Daoist smiled faintly, seeming not to hear the Beast King’s angry retort, “What are you saying? A strong individual should control his emotions. You’re acting like a weakling now. You have none of the poise of a powerful individual, and that’s just laughable.”

“You’re courting death,” The Beast King launched an all-out attack on the Heavenly Saint Daoist, displaying his full range of techniques. In no time, the whole space destabilized, as if feeling the rage of a powerhouse. The power of a saint seat was terrifying, capable of annihilating a space with a wave of the hand.

The Heavenly Saint Daoist knew in his heart, if they wanted to fight the Beast King, it would be easy. But luring him into Logan’s trap still needed some work. He had to ignite the Beast King’s rage to the point where he completely lost his senses. Even though the Beast King was furious, he still had his basic thinking abilities intact.

To enrage the Beast King further, the Heavenly Saint Daoist dodged the former’s attack while taunting him with his words, relentlessly calling him weak and unworthy of a frontal battle.

“Beast King, you’re no good. As a senior, I have to give you some advice. A true saint should fight like a grown-up, not like a child. This moment you look like a madman, but I guess that’s expected because you are a demon beast. Even if you reach the saint seat, you’ll still act like this.”

The Beast King had always been a proud beast. He had been dwelling on a loss to the Heavenly Saint Daoist a hundred years ago. Now, the Daoist’s strength was depleted, yet the Beast King still couldn’t take him down. The gap between his perception and reality was substantial.

The only thing on his mind now was to kill the dying Heavenly Saint Daoist and restore his prestige as the Beast King. He wanted the millions of beasts in the mountain range to see their king, still invincible. At this moment, he lost all reason, not bothering to think any further.

Seeing the timing was right, the Heavenly Saint Daoist pretended to be overpowered and fled, naturally inciting the Beast King to follow. A half-step saint seat demon beast sensed something wrong and tried to stop the Beast King from crossing the line. The Beast King must not overstep, or he would fall into a trap for sure.

“Beast King, the Heavenly Saint Daoist did it on purpose, constantly taunting you to make you lose your composure. You must keep calm. If you don’t fall into his trap, it’s the Heavenly Saint Daoist who will be anxious. The wisdom and schemes of the human races are terrifying. One wrong step, and all are wrong. Remember, you are the king of the millions of demon beasts in the mountain range.”

The half-step saint seat demon beast earnestly tried to advise, but the Beast King wouldn’t listen. All he wanted was to fight the Heavenly Saint Daoist, so he forced the demon beast to move aside. The demon beast did not relent, which got him thrown dozens of meters away by the enraged Beast King.

This scene was unbelievable to the half-step saint seat demon beast. He roared, “Beast King, you’re being immature. I have the best interests of the demon beast clan at heart. Calm down. After all, spectators see the game better. The Heavenly Saint Daoist must be colluding with Logan, waiting for you to fall into their trap!”

“Beast King, are you scared?” At this point, the Heavenly Saint Daoist was anxious, worried the Beast King would truly hang back. The proud Beast King just smirked coldly, indicating his fearlessness. Even if the Heavenly Saint Daoist brought dozens of helpers, they were just a mob to him.
