Isabella had clearly anticipated Rhett’s moves. Her commands could never have matched the speed of the Dark Knight otherwise.
However, it made no difference.
Rhett did not fear death anymore, so why would poison matter to him?
His fate was already decided. All he wanted was to fight his way out and give Anna the chance to take Mackenzie to safety,
With two explosive strikes, Rhett killed two Grand Protectors on the spot. Both had near S+ level strength.
The others escaped either by dashing away or because they were positioned farther away. Those unlucky enough to be closest fell first.
For a moment, everyone froze in fear and backed away
Aora was especially terrified.
Only now did he understand that Rhett had never been truly cornered before. A desperate and fearless Rhett was more than he could handle.
“Anna, take the Saintess and go!”
Rhett’s voice boomed across the battlefield.
He knew this was their one chance. If they lost it, Mackenzie might never escape.
Even now, Isabella had not made her move.
“I will not leavel”
Mackenzie’s voice rang out, filled with determination.
Anna, ignoring all formalities, grabbed Mackenzie and tried to drag her away.
As they reached the opening, Isabella suddenly appeared in front of them.
What was going on?
Anna had not even noticed how Isabella had gotten there.
“Ms. Quillen, are you staying to surrender and retreat? If not, your loyal Holy Guardian is walking to his death!”
“No!”
Mackenzie firmly shook her head.
“Even if I die here, I will destroy the Five Poison Sect. I will live and die alongside Rhett, I will not abandon anyone I care about again!”

He was ready to die, but only if his sacrifice had meaning.

At the same time, Magnus and the Wolf Warrior Unit were gaining ground outside the Five Poison Sect Base Camp.
Yet, they faced a daunting problem.
Without heavy weapons, they could not break through the stone fortress.
Using heavy weapons, however, could kill Mackenzie, who was still inside.
“Magnus, what should we do now?”
Even Hattie, known for her sharp thinking, had no immediate answer.
“We need a hero. Only a powerful Grand Protector can breach that fortress,” Magnus said after some thought.
“Everything depends on Rhett now. He must bring Mrs. Lowe but.
Hearing this, the group could only hope Rhett would succeed.
“What if Rhett fails? Do we have any other plans?”
Lexi, deeply worried for Mackenzie, asked.
“We have done everything possible,” Magnus replied.
“We have marked targets for precision strikes, surrounded the camp, and taken hostages to use as leverage. By all logic, the Five Poison Sect would not harm Mrs. Lowe unless they were ready to die themselves.
“The worst case is that they hold Mrs. Lowe hostage and force us to retreat, accomplishing nothing.”
Magnus‘ conclusion left everyone uneasy.
Could the war really end in retreat after all this?
The Chamber of Commerce election was drawing closer. A retreat now would mean Emmanuel and Mackenzie had admitted defeat.
If that happened, Ethan would certainly lose the presidential election.
“Mackenzie, have you lost your mind? Would you rather die than let us escape together?”
Aora, unlike Isabella, could not control his anger. He pointed at Mackenzie and shouted at her.
“The path back is already cut off. I never planned to retreat!”
Mackenzie smirked. “If I am meant to die here, then so be it! After I am gone, Emmanuel, my grandfather, and those who seek peace will continue to fight for Chahaca’s future!”
“Your Holiness, well spoken!”
Rhett sincerely praised her.

Isabella fell silent.

As she had said before, she genuinely admired women like Mackenzie. Until now, Mackenzie had only ever said what she truly believed. Now, she was proving them with her actions.
“Ms. Quillen, it was a mistake to make you our enemy!
Isabella sighed and said, “However, now that we are at this point, we must go all out!”
With those words, she prepared to act.
Rhett sensed a powerful aura approaching and immediately launched his own attack while shouting. “Anna!”
“Understood!”
Anna, who had been by Rhett’s side for many years, knew him well. They no longer needled to speak to understand what to do.
Rhett’s full–force strike was so powerful that even Isabella dared not meet it head–on. She could not use her illusions with ease.
She had no choice but to dodge and avoid the attack.
Seizing the brief opening, Anna forcefully pulled Mackenzie away, helping her escape.
“Quick, after them!”
Isabella ordered in a low voice.
Rhett tried to move but suddenly noticed Isabella’s face changing!
It was difficult to describe, like the swift changing of masks or the ever–shifting stars in the vast ocean.
Slowly, a sense of dizziness started to overtake him.
Isabella had cast her illusions in advance.
Rhett could not help but admire her. She was truly difficult to defend against!
Fortunately, his immense energy allowed him to quickly recover from the illusion.
He shouted in fury, “I told you! As long as I am here, no one will harm a single hair on the Saintess!”
Boom!
His red cloak whipped around him like a blood–red curtain, instantly enveloping the members of the Five
Poison Sect!
Aora and the others were top–tier fighters. They would be considered titans in any city, untouchable on their own. However, even with Isabella’s help, they found themselves unable to break through Rhett’s defense!
“Ahhh!”

Chapter 2179 The Path is Blocked, Only Death Remain
Rhett clapped his hands together, releasing deep crimson energy that surrounded his body.
Aora and the others recoiled in fear, their faces filled with terror!
Those who usually feared nothing now feared everything.
How could they not fear a top–tier fighter who was willing to sacrifice everything?
The overwhelming aura coming from Rhett was something few in the world could withstand!
“This is the grave I have prepared for you! Rest in peace
“I call it the Red Aurora!”
As Rhett unleashed his full power with another loud roar, the terrifying energy took the shape of a monster, charging toward the members of the Five Poison Sect!

rent their fate.
Aora and the others, trapped in this small room, could only accept
Thankfully, Isabella had predicted this and activated a mechanism to block Rhett’s attack with a stone wall.
The stone wall shattered with a tremendous crash, sending clouds of dust into the air!
Anna, still running with Mackenzie, immediately stopped.
The shifting walls disoriented them, and they feared for Rhett’s safety as well.
