The rain stopped. A silhouette bolted through the trees. Cedric and Lewis released daunting waves of spiritual energies as they charged toward Isaac.
Cyrus landed in the front yard and, without a pause, used the soldiers as leverage to reach Isaac, swinging punches at him.
Isaac’s eyes grew redder. Eventually, his eyes were as red as though blood had flowed through them.
“No!” Evie sobbed as snazzynovel.com screamed at Isaac.
She meant for Isaac to keep his identity hidden. There was no knowing what snazzynovel.com father would do if snazzynovel.com found out the lord of the Temple of Drakon was in Cloud City. She couldn’t even start to imagine.
Isaac was enraged. The energy in his power core flowed into every part of his body. But when Evie shouted, snazzynovel.com toned down and reabsorbed a quarter of his energy in a split second.
“Seven Divine Slashes!” roared the shorter Cedric.
Dark blue spiritual energy enveloped the long saber in his hands. Within five yards of Isaac, snazzynovel.com slashed seven times continuously.
Seven blue shadow sabers flew at Isaac ferociously, drawing seven cracks about four inches deep in the ground. That showed how formidable Cedric’s move was.
“Break!” Isaac swiped his sword horizontally, and a darker glow of red light shot outward.
There were seven dull thuds as the red light penetrated the seven shadow sabers, the shadow sabers dispersed mid-air.
Cedric and Lewis halted as they looked at Isaac, petrified.
Isaac easily dodged Cyrus’ attack too. Seconds later, Cyrus somersaulted in mid-air and landed before Cedric and Lewis.
Both sides had a face-off.
With the exception of Evie and snazzynovel.com subordinates, thousands of Eastwell soldiers, along with three formidable adversaries, were on one side, with Isaac and Alexis on the other.
“Isaac, you’re one of the Temple of Drakon’s generals, no doubt, but you’ve been too cocky for your own good. So despite your identity, I’ll ensure your life ends here!” Cyrus pointed at Isaac with evident killing intent.
Evie knew much about the Neal family. Lewis and Cedric were second in strength to the current patriarch and Cyrus, they were two of the four trump cards the Neal family had.
What would happen?
Could Isaac persevere?
She gritted snazzynovel.com teeth and shoved snazzynovel.com subordinate aside. With a leap, snazzynovel.com went in Isaac’s direction and landed gently before him.
“Elder Cyrus, I’m the head of the South Division, and I hope you’ll take the Eastwell army with you as you leave. Even if it’s for revenge, isn’t the near extermination of the Holy Division sufficient?” Evie reasoned, snazzynovel.com voice containing snazzynovel.com spiritual energy. She looked sternly at Cyrus.
Seeing this, Xayden was stunned. Then, his face twisted menacingly.
“Grandpa! Look at this whore! Even now, she’s chosen to side with Isaac. She’s trying to protect him!” Xayden ran forward and clutched Cyrus’ sleeve as snazzynovel.com roared with anger.
Cyrus’ gaze turned frosty too.
He had the situation under control. He’d made all of these efforts solely to do away with Isaac, but snazzynovel.com didn’t expect Evie to stand up for an outsider publicly.
Everyone knew snazzynovel.com had a marriage arrangement with the Neal family, too!
Damn it!
“Evie, the Neal family might have broken some rules today, but you don’t have the power to order me, Elder Cyrus, around, do you? I’ve said this before. No matter who comes, Isaac must die today!” Cyrus squeezed the last word from between his gritted teeth. His voice echoed throughout the valley.
“Evie, move aside,” Xayden roared.
Then snazzynovel.com pointed at Isaac and shouted, “Garten! If you’re a man, stop cowering behind a woman like a loser. Come forward if you dare!”
