My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2459

Apart from his speed, Elder Ever also had a deadly weapon—his poisonous attacks. "Don't worry, a small amount of poison won't be fatal. It'll only make you—" Before Elder Ever could finish, the scene in front of him stunned him into silence. Elder Python's body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Is the poison invading his body? No, it's his muscles!" Elder Ever realized the issue and hurriedly tried to land a punch. However, he was kicked away by Elder Python.

Elder Ever adjusted his position as he was crouched on the ground, panting heavily. He was staring at Elder Python. "Is he actually using his muscles to expel my poison along with some of his true energy?"

At this moment, Elder Python stilled and stared intently at Elder Ever. "Just a small amount of poison is enough to paralyze my entire body. If my right hand hadn't temporarily blocked the poison, I might have truly lost."

Both of them were extremely cautious. The next attack might well be the final blow.

Elder Ever took the first step. Using his high-speed movement, he wrapped his true energy around Elder Python.

Elder Python knew that the true energy likely contained poison. Helpless, he could only manifest true energy of his own to form a protective barrier.

“Seems like there are two ways to release it. In that case…”

Elder Python made his move. He knew that his speed could never match Elder Ever’s, so he planned to make Elder Ever lose his footing.

A punch hit the ground, causing the surrounding terrain to shatter instantly.

Elder Ever was indeed caught off guard, but not for long. Using the flying debris, he managed to get close to Elder Python once more.

“It’s over!”

“Yes, it’s over!” Elder Python exclaimed with a faint smile. He had been waiting for the opportunity for Elder Ever to get close to him.

From a nearby pile of rocks, a long tail suddenly emerged, trapping Elder Ever.

Elder Ever felt an immediate sense of danger and desperately tried to pull away.

“H-How is this possible...” Elder Ever exclaimed when he realized that he was unable to escape.

"You're indeed impressive, but you probably didn’t notice that some of my true energy had flowed into the ground when I expelled the poison earlier. I used that energy to create my ultimate move. Do you feel it? A suffocating sensation like a constricting python.”

“Likewise.”

…

The immortal spirits' power dissipated, and the brothers regained their senses.

The referee then announced the result, “The winner—Anox Dune!”

Anox and Kalo first glanced at each other before almost simultaneously turning to Teresa. There was no joy on her face, only concern for the injuries they both sustained.

When Anox was declared the winner, Kalo lay on the ground, finally allowing a sense of relief to wash over him. He managed a smile, saying, “This is good enough...”

“Kalo...”

“Anox, congratulations. You won.”
