My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 656
“Melody...” Hera called out softly as she looked fearfully toward the woman. She saw Melody crash through the opposite railing
before landing on the ground.
Hera’s pupils contracted violently. Although she knew little about martial arts, she knew Melody was much more powerful than
Skadi’s grandfather.
Despite that, Melody still could not fight back against this old man.
She now realized how ridiculous it was for her to even try standing up and reasoning with them just now. To these martial artists,
logic was strength.
“Hera, run!” Lauren cried out with tears in her eyes. Hera ran toward her mother but stopped after just one meter. Boris had
appeared out of nowhere and was already standing in front of her. Terrified, Hera tried to retreat.
Endless fear pervaded her heart. She did not want to die yet. She had not gotten a marriage certificate with Nash and had not
felt what it was like being a woman. There were still many, many things she had not done.
With a casual wave of his hand, Boris’ true energy invaded every part of Hera’s body.
Hera was rooted on the spot, unable to move.
On the other hand, The Swordsman was wielding the Seven Deadly Swords as he attacked Grant. Dylan pushed Grant away
and unleashed a punch using his true energy.
The blade descended, and Dylan’s right arm was detached from his shoulder. The man immediately covered his right shoulder
with his other hand, taking a sharp breath.
“A futile effort!” The Swordsman sneered as he brought his blade down once again.
Suddenly, there was a clanging of his sword, and The Swordsman was immediately gripped with a sense of crisis.
He turned abruptly, only to see white light shooting from a distance. Where the white light passed, strong winds rose while
thunder and lightning flashed.

Both The Swordsman’s and Boris’ expressions changed drastically. They did not expect to sense the aura of an expert in the
Profound Oriental Realm in that white light.
In the blink of an eye, the white light reflected upon the surrounding walls, significantly brightening the night sky.
The Swordsman narrowed his eyes slightly under the illumination of the white light.
At the same time, he saw the person within the white light. It was a virtual figure wearing a white martial arts suit, surrounded by
hundreds of sword forms.
He was Bladesman Divus... No, this was just his reflection formed by sword forms and spiritual power.
Divus’ reflection slowly raised his hand, gathering the sword forms around his body into a dazzling longsword in his hand.
The Swordsman squinted his eyes as he grinned ferociously. “So, you’ve healed from your internal injuries. If you were actually
here, perhaps there would’ve been a chance for us to battle. Alas, how do you expect to fight me with just your projection?”
Saying that, The Swordsman flicked his wrist and unleashed three slashes of blade radiance. The three-blade radiance merged
into one and descended with an overwhelming and reality-shattering momentum.
One hand tucked behind his back, Divus brought up his longsword and slashed a flurry of sword reflections across the sky like
the waves of a storm.
Both Divus’ sword forms and The Swordsman’s blade radiance contained a power so frightening that Boris’ heart trembled.
Duncan was dumbstruck by then and did not realize that several sword forms were coming toward him.
Boris disappeared in a flash before appearing at the edge of the floor near the railing with Duncan.
