My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2556

“Since that's the case, be prepared to give up your life.”

Whistler slowly moved closer to Yellowhorn while consistently restraining the beast.

“Just a little more.”

Yellowhorn was not a fool and could obviously sense that Whistler was approaching him. He summoned the lightning once again.

“Come on, kid! Let’s see whose bones are tougher!”

Whistler could not believe Yellowhorn had called lightning to himself without any protection. If that were the case, then he might also be suffering from the effects of the lightning.

Yellowhorn then took the initiative to approach Whistler.

Whistler swiftly summoned lightning, and the two figures darted back and forth across the battlefield.

The surrounding buildings crumbled to dust in the wake of their fierce battle. More of the empty ground was cracking open, which was not good news for Whistler, as he was still outmatched by Yellowhorn. All he could do now was rely on a war of attrition.

As Yellowhorn’s arrays and the giant beasts continued to deplete his true energy, Whistler was incredibly surprised.

“How much true energy does this guy have stored?”

As he marveled at Yellowhorn's tremendous reserves, Yellowhorn suddenly pulled out a string of beads from his hand.

There were eight beads, and each emitted golden light while a single one was dim and dull. With a maneuver from Yellowhorn, the dim one fell.

Seeing the beads, an understanding dawned upon Whistler about how Yellowhorn seemed to have massive reserves of true energy. He had a unique method of storing it within the eight golden beads, which served as his reservoir. Had he only consumed one bead after unleashing such intense attacks?

"What say you, oh great senior?" Yellowhorn glanced at Oakley.

Oakley stood next to Yellowhorn, his expression fierce as he glared at Whistler. The murderous intent emanating from his expression was unmistakable. He looked like he was about to tear Whistler apart at any moment.

He gathered lightning in his hands and, less than a second later, Whistler was struck to the ground by Oakley's punch just as he was about to speak.

The violent impact finally knocked the truth into Whistler. The senior he had once admired had betrayed him just like that. In fact, Oakley was the mastermind behind it all. What was going on?

At that moment, Whistler had no time to think further. He could only muster the last bit of his true energy to brace for Oakley's next attack.

If he had taken another hit, he might have really died. If it were not for his luck, that last blow would have killed him already.

"Oakley…”
