The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 5427

The sects suggested electing a temporary alliance head to better plan out the search in the underground town. Martin was in the lead toward the very end, where Adam had volunteered at the last minute and defeated Martin.

Despite losing fair and square, the duel had left Martin extremely displeased, and he was sure that Adam only won by pure luck. Things could have turned out differently if Martin had fought with full force.

Unfortunately, Martin did not realize that the man before him was not Adam, but someone far more powerful and terrifying.

Prince Auten smirked at the sight of Martin charging over. "I see. You've got a death wish! How dare a little clown like you act out in front of me?"

As the words rang through the air, a terrifying aura exploded from Prince Auten as a blinding ray of light shot out of his palm, tearing through the heavens in Martin's direction.

What?

Martin's expression shifted upon sensing the energy that the ray of light held.

What was going on? It had only been a few days, but Adam's skills seemed to have doubled in that time.

Amidst his shock, the ray of light had made its way to Martin. Without hesitating, Martin summoned all his energy to block it.

The next second, all that could be seen was the two forces of energy colliding in mid-air before letting out a deafening sound. Martin let out a dull hum as he was sent flying.

"Ugh…"

Upon flying almost a hundred meters, fresh blood sprayed from Martin's mouth as he landed, and he fell unconscious immediately.

What…

At the sight, everyone widened their eyes in shock and disbelief.

A single move? One move had been powerful enough to knock Elder Martin unconscious. How powerful was Adam Bedford?

Evan stared intently at Adam, his gaze full of disbelief.

Martin was the head elder of the Heavenly Ocean Sect and was incredibly well-skilled and strong. Evan himself would not be able to take Martin down even with ten blows, yet Adam had only used one.

The Palace Master had been able to tell from watching Prince Auten take down Martin with a single blow that her opponent had more than deeply hidden powers. Evan alone would be no match for him.

"All together? Even better."

Prince Auten did not panic in the slightest. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he summoned his energy to meet the two.

In the blink of an eye, a fierce battle broke out between the three in mid-air.

"Attack, everyone!"

Seeing the sect masters strike, the pupils of the three main sects let out cries of their own, wielding their own long swords and charging in the direction of the True Flame Sect pupils.

To them, the three main sects had strength in numbers, guaranteeing them a win, but they had been sorely mistaken. Prince Auten had dared to wait, and he had long anticipated what would come.

Just then, the True Flame Sect pupils were abnormally calm in response to the three main sect pupils charging forward. They shuffled into formation, ready to meet the attack.
