Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2289 Standing Alone Against an Entire City

“Emmanuel!”

“Emmanuel!”

“It’s Emmanuel!”

The crowd erupted in gasps of astonishment.

Gwain lifted his head, gritting his teeth as he watched the man who had arrived on horseback and descended like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Why? Why was it that despite them being equally renowned, Emmanuel always managed to steal the spotlight?

It wasn’t just Gwain–Yorick, too, was caught off guard.

With his level of cultivation and experience, he had rarely encountered someone this fast and powerful. His movements hesitated for just an instant–an instant that gave Emmanuel his opening!

With a powerful leap, Emmanuel flipped midair, striking down with a fearsome palm technique.

The sheer force of his attack roared like a dragon’s cry, sending shockwaves through the entire battlefield. The spectators felt a tingling sensation at the back of their heads, as if their scalps were being electrified.

Yet the real shock came next.

Yorick had originally intended to unleash his full strength to finish off Zen Master. But in that critical moment, he was forced to divert all his power to counter Emmanuel’s strike.

Back in Eldoria, the two had clashed before, testing their palm strength against each other. Back then, Emmanuel had fought with his back against the wall, unleashing the Dragon–Breaking Palm just to barely hold his ground against Yorick for two exchanges.

That duel had left Yorick with the upper hand, making him unafraid of another direct confrontation- especially since Emmanuel wasn’t even using the Dragon–Breaking Palm this time.

But the very next second, his confident expression shattered. His eyes widened in disbelief.

A violent surge of energy exploded outward, sending powerful ripples through the air. A searing, overwhelming force crashed against him, numbing his arms–no, burning them, as if they were being roasted alive!

Impossible!

Yorick’s shock deepened, his mind racing.

The crowd saw it too. The Savage Martial Saint, a warrior of legend, was clearly struggling.

He had fought Zen Master for so long without showing even a hint of distress–so why was he now wearing that expression?

A flash of jealousy crossed Gwain’s face.
