My Substitute CEO Bride

Zaafea took the opportunity to relay the message once more to everyone.

They all now understood that the tide of the battle had begun to turn. If they could destroy the roots of the giant trees, victory would be certain.

In the Western Territory, Diloth found himself overwhelmed by the numbers of the Sandhunter Tribe despite his formidable power. The group of five, each at the Profound Oriental Realm level, employed various attack techniques.noveldrama

However, they all shared one thing in common-although they appeared to be ordinary hunters and their cultivation levels weren't particularly high, their weapons were capable of attacking the soul itself.

It was clear they had been specifically assigned to this task.

Their attacks left Diloth unable to resist. With a thunderous roar from one of the burly men, the group pressed forward quickly, racing toward the giant tree.

No matter how hard Diloth tried to stop them, his body refused to move.

One of the hunters had shot an arrow that pinned his soul firmly to the ground.

As the group prepared to strike, the giant tree activated its self-defense mechanism, transforming the absorbed energy into fierce beasts that charged at the hunters.

The Sandhunter Tribe members were overjoyed.

"Toby! What's that phrase again?" The leader, a brawny man, grinned as he looked at his companion. "It's 'right tool for the job.""

"Haha! That's right! Korsey, Toby, let's go!"

The three charged toward the beasts that were created from the tree's soul energy, engaging them in combat.

"Bateau, get ready!" the leader called out to the two strongest men in the group.

"Are you ready? Horan!"

"For sure!"

The two hulking men put on their gloves, and with a surge of incredible power, the giant tree began to tremble slightly.

Sterling and Xenith continued to fend off the attacking beasts.

"Are they... Are they serious?" Sterling's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the two men.

Were they actually trying to lift the giant tree by hand?

"This can't be real..."

Nevertheless, the sight before him was undeniable. The giant tree was indeed shaking.

Sterling struggled to believe it. The tree towered above them, and it seemed like a massive elephant compared to the men who were like ants.

Yet, the two were truly moving the tree.

"Hey, you two!" Toby shouted to Sterling and Xenith.

"Come over and help! Don't worry, these two can share their strength with you. With four of us, we can definitely uproot this tree!"

Sterling did not hesitate and rushed toward the giant tree. They had not been of much help elsewhere, so they might as well contribute directly to the task at hand.

The two quickly reached the tree, each taking a corner. They prepared themselves for the task ahead.

Sure enough, there was a kind of barrier surrounding the two strong men. The moment Sterling stepped into it, he felt a surge of power unlike anything he had experienced before. Using this newfound strength, he and Xenith drove their hands into the tree's trunk.

"Now!"

With all four of them working together, the giant tree began to shake violently. Meanwhile, the beasts rushed back toward the tree's core when they sensed the disturbance in their source.

However, Korsey and his team executed their plan flawlessly, ensuring that not a single beast made it through.

Finally, with the four of them shouting with all their might, the roots of the giant tree started to emerge from the ground.

At the same time, the three hunters in the distance readied themselves to deliver the fatal blow to the tree and the elders inside.

They took out their giant axes and began to accumulate power.

Just as the roots were about to be fully uprooted, Diloth's figure suddenly appeared.
