Chapter 2178 The Blizzard Silver Dragon Spear

Scorpion Belle quickly understood it. Her eyes turned cold as she shouted, “You, woman, make the Wolf Warrior Unit retreat now, or I will make your life worse than death!”

With that, she lunged at Mackenzie, her face twisted with hatred.

Aora took the chance to team up with Scorpion Belle. Together, they aimed to break through Rhett’s defenses and capture Mackenzie.

Anna felt a chill of dread.

Scorpion Belle’s strength was immeasurable, and if Rhett had to face both of them, it would end badly.

Before she could think of a solution, Centipede Lord joined the fight.

That was not all

The ten Grand Protectors stood behind them, ready to strike at any moment.

“What should I do?”

Anna knew entering the battle herself would change nothing. Right now, ensuring the Saintess‘ safety was the top priority.

“Rhen, die now!”

Aora took advantage of Rhett being pinned down by two Grand Protectors and aimed a fatal strike at

Rhett.

“Rhett, look our!”

Anna’s warning came just in time. Rhett forced the two Grand Protectors back and barely dodged Aora’s. attack.

It was a narro

a narrow escape.

However, if he could just barely survive this, how would he handle the next attack?

“Ms. Quillen, even now, have you not thought of changing your mind?”

Isabella still held back from fighting. Her cold gaze rested on Mackenzie. “If you do not, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

Chapter 2178 Rhett’s Fight to the Death

# Finished

*Mackenzie, are you completely heartless? If you do not order your troops to retreat, every one of you will die here!”

Lady Rosa urgently added. “Even if you are not afraid to die, think about your companions. Look at them. They are prepared to give their lives for you. Can you truly bear to see them die for nothing?”

Her words made Mackenzie’s resolve waver.

She did not fear death, but she could not stand the thought of others dying for her.

At the same time, Rhett was locked in a battle against three powerful enemies. He gathered every ounce of strength he had and unleashed a forceful burst of energy, driving them back.

With his back to Mackenzie, he said, “Your Holiness, do not think about whether we live or die. For warriors like us, dying in battle is both our fate and our greatest honor.”

Mackenzie struggled to nod, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“You fool! Still playing the hero when death is staring you in the face? I will make sure you die in a misérable manner, right in front of Mackenzie!”

Aora’s obsession with killing Rhett had completely consumed him.

Now was the perfect chance. Tearning up with the two Grand Protectors, Aora sent strike after strike with the intent to finish Rhett off.

The sight of Rhett in grave danger meant Anna could no longer stand by. She prepared to intervene.

Before she could act, Rhett, still facing away from her, commanded, “Anna, stay by Her Holiness. Do not leave her side for even a moment! I can handle these enemies alone!”

With clenched fists and gritted teeth, Anna nodded with frustration.

Aora mockingly sneered. “Still putting on a brave face when you are about to die? Fine, let us see you keep that up!”

The three masters launched another coordinated attack on Rhett.

Even Isabella and Lady Rosa thought Rhett’s defeat was inevitable. However, then, something extraordinary happened.

Rhett let out a deafening roar, releasing power far greater than anyone had expected. With a single strike of his Titan–Toppling Fist, he forced all three attackers to retreat.

“H–How can this be?”

Aora’s face flushed with disbelief. He could not accept that his bitter rival had been hiding such immense strength.

Why had Rhett never used this power in their previous battles?

There had been times when Rhett had nearly been defeated, pushed to the edge.

The two Grand Protectors exchanged stunned looks, their confidence shaken. They turned to Isabella for further guidance.

At Rhett’s current level, only Isabella might be able to match him.

Isabella let out a heavy sigh, her expression filled with regret. “I never thought you would willingly give up your life to protect a woman.”

Anna and Mackenzie looked at Rhett in shock.

Their brief moment of relief quickly turned into deep concern.

Rhett calmly smiled without any hint of regret. “The duty of a Holy Guardian is to protect the Saintess, even at the cost of his life.”

This ultimate technique was a secret skill passed down among Holy Guardians.

It could only be used in the Saintess‘ most desperate moments, and it could only be used once in a warrior’s fifetime.

For Rhett, that moment had come.

Seeing the unwavering resolve in his eyes, Isabella could not help but feel moved. She briefly closed her eyes and softly said, “You are a man deserving of respect. To protect someone else, you have opened the Gates of Life and Death. Outof respect for you, we will let you fight and die with honor in the next hour.

“The Gates of Life and Death? What does that mean?”

Upon hearing Isabella’s words, Mackenzie could no longer stay composed. She tightly grabbed Anna’s hand, her voice filled with urgency.

Anna’s eyes brimmed with tears as she slowly explained, “I have only heard about it in stories. A warrior trained in the Eight Gates technique can open both the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death. This unleashes incredible power, multiplying their strength many times over. However, the cost is their life. They will only live for one hour after using it.”

“What?”

Mackenzie’s eyes widened as a wave of sorrow overwhelmed her. Tears streamed down her face without pause.

Throwing away one’s life to gain power was an act of sheer foolishness.

Boom!

Rhett suddenly swung a powerful punch at Aora. Even as death approached, he was determined to take – someone down with him.

The one he aimed for was, without a doubt, the person he despised the most.

Aora broke into a cold sweat.

He knew he stood no chance against the raging Rhett.

Just as Aora thought his end had come. Isabella intervened and pulled him back in time.

Yet Rhett’s punch did not stop. It continued forward and smashed straight into the wall behind Aora.

Crash!

Everyone froze in shock as the solid stone wall shattered under Rhett’s bare fists.

They had always known how thick and sturdy that wall was. None of them had ever thought anyone could break it with bare hands.

However, it had happened, right before their eyes.

What kind of strength could achieve such a feat?

“Anna, take Her Holiness and leave now. I will stay behind and hold them off!”

Rhett shouted, his back

still turned to Anga.

His figure seemed taller than ever, carrying a solemn nobility that brought tears to their eyes.

“Rhett, what about you…

“Go, now!”

Rhett interrupted her, refusing to let her express any doubts.

“Yes, Rhet!”

Anna bit her lip and took Mackenzie’s hand, preparing to leave.

“Rhett, if we leave, we leave together!”

Mackenzie, who hated hesitation, refused to move this time.

She could feel Rhett’s determination to face death and could not bring herself to abandon him.

“I can go no further, Rhett said with a faint smile.

“Your Holiness, I am sorry. This is as far as I can protect you. You must live on. Someone else will take over and guard you in my place.”

“No…”

Mackenzie broke down, sobbing hard.

When Sarah died before her eyes, she had vowed never to let another loved one perish in front of her.

However, the world was merciless, and once again, she was powerless to stop such a fate.

Rhett swiftly removed a silver pendant from his chest and tossed it to Anna. noveldrama

“Give this to Quintus. He will be the next Holy Guardian. That man will take up the role without hesitation!”

“Rhett…”

Even Anna, who had never been truly emotional, nodded with tears glistening in her eyes.

“Hah! Have the two of you had enough of your dramat farewell?”

Aora coldly sucered.

“Who said any of you are leaving? Do you think the Five Poison Sect is a joke? Everyone is here. If even one of you escape, the Five Poison Sect’s reputation will be ruined!”

His words were calculated to provoke the sect members into action.

Aora knew he alone was no match for Rhett in his current state.

The ten Grand Protectors quickly moved to block the opening in the wall Rhett had created.

They all understood that if Mackenzie estaped, none of them would leave this place alive.

At that moment, Isabella spoke up.

“Release poison and seal the exit!”

Before she even finished her sentence, Rhett’s expression turned cold.

He threw a punch at the gap in the wall with incredible force.

The energy from his strike was as powerful as a rocket blast.
