My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1751

In almost an instant, Ryan's body was covered with a dozen horrifying wounds.

"Damn it! Not only are they of a higher level than me, but they're also teaming up on me. This is so unfair!" Ryan cursed as he dodged the attacks from his two opponents.

While their attacks seemed without thought, he had to use all his strength to defend himself against them. At the end of the day, he was only at the Mystique Loyalty Realm. The gap between him and Profound Loyalty Realm cultivators was pretty significant.

A golden-armored warrior stabbed Ryan's right shoulder, its blade enveloped with paralyzing black energy that caused his entire right arm to go numb instantly.

Ryan's expression darkened. He raised his foot and kicked the golden-armored warrior in the abdomen. The warrior stumbled back a few steps, and when he looked up again, Ryan had already disappeared.

Roxy and Summer were also both at the early stage of the Profound Oriental Realm. They had already lost the fight and were retreating while still in battle.

Even Merrick and Dante were in dire straits. Standing back-to-back, they were up against Alto and another fifth-tier Legendary Realm expert as cold sweat dripped from their temples.

"We have to retreat! If we keep fighting, we'll be completely wiped out!" Merrick said solemnly.

No one had expected the Western faction to have two fifth-tier Legendary Realm fighters. He and Dante were only at the later stages of their levels. They might have a chance against one of them, but there was no way of winning against two.

“Fall back!” Dante roared. Hearing that, the group turned into streaks of light and fled.

The moment they took flight, however, an energy barrier connected to the sky blocked their path. Dante slashed at the barrier with all his might, but there was not even a scratch.

Standing on the temple, Maidee sneered, "You think you can come and go as you please?"

Alto calmly added, "I'll give you one more chance—submit or die!"

Merrick snorted coldly. "Fight them to the end!"

With that, he ignited a ten-meter-high flame and charged at Alto. Dante sighed helplessly and turned to rush at the other fifth-tier Legendary Realm cultivator.

At this moment, the four great sects were standing on a high mountain three kilometers away from the battlefield. Behind them was a sea of fire, and they could feel the intense heat behind them even from where they were on the mountain.
