My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1728

The Misty Templar Court’s Mystique Loyalty Realm experts immediately lowered their heads in greeting.

Meanwhile, their Great Elder, Eliana, merely called his name out softly.

The hierarchy in the cultivation circle was based on one's level. Eliana was over a hundred years younger than Barrett. Still, she was considered part of the same generation as Barrett because she had already achieved the Profound Oriental Realm.

Barrett clasped his hands behind his back, his authority evident as he gazed sharply at Benedict. “Elder Saal is the Misty Templar Court’s Great Elder. Do you think she's someone a youngling with no real-world experience can afford to offend?”

His mid-stage Profound Oriental Realm energy weighed down on Benedict. A cold look appeared in his eyes as he gazed at Barrett and explained, “I'm merely explaining the truth.

"The Divine Strategy Squadron is a government organization, and the fact that she assaulted one of the squadron’s majors means she could be charged with the crime of treason!”

“Preposterous!”

Barrett waved his large hands, and three gusts of sword energy immediately materialized. The Profound Oriental Realm crystal talisman once again unleashed its defenses.

The three gusts of sword energy fell apart, and the crystal talisman shattered.

“No wonder you seemed so confident. It’s because you’ve got a Profound Oriental Realm expert backing you up!” Barrett huffed coldly.

He had just finished speaking when the terrifying energy of a mid-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm expert blasted toward them.

“Move…”

Dallas shoved Benedict out of the way.

That terrifying gust of energy hit Dallas straight in the chest.

The power of a late-stage Profound Oriental Realm expert could not be balanced out by that of a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert.

Despite using all his spiritual energy to ward himself against it, Dallas was still sent flying nearly ten meters away from where he had been standing.

“Mr. Cricton…”

Benedict’s face turned pale as he hurried over to help Dallas, who was covered in blood, back onto his feet.

Dallas’ face had turned ashen. His mouth and nose were covered in blood, and all the bones in his body had shattered as well. Even his mystique core had shattered into smithereens.

It was evident that Barrett’s strike had been meant to kill.
