While Bernardo and Bu Lai were locked in a bitter battle, the other Supremes of the Heavenly Dao Alliance were not faring much better.
Although the Heavenly Dao Alliance had a large number of Supreme Realm powerhouses, they held no advantage whatsoever.
Bigge of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew held off three Supreme Realm opponents with a single blade, and he even faintly held the upper hand against their combined assault.
Blue was the same. Fighting three opponents alone, he shrank himself down to human size and endured every attack from the three Supremes head-on without suffering the slightest injury. Yet every one of his attacks left the three of them deeply wary.
With a sword in hand, Scarlet held back two Supreme Realm powerhouses, appearing even more at ease than Bigge.
Elsa, Liliath, Beika, and Soya were also each fighting two opponents without falling into the slightest disadvantage.
As for the other Supremes, each of them had one opponent.
The remaining three Heavenly Dao Alliance Supremes had no opponents confronting them head-on, but they were constantly being pursued by Hake's three clones. They could barely fend for themselves and had no way to turn around the Emperor Realm's defeat.
Less than three minutes into the battle, the first Heavenly Dao Alliance Supreme fell, dying at the hands of Hake, the King of Assassins.
While he was entangled with Hake's clone, that Supreme carelessly exposed an opening that Hake's true body caught. A dagger pierced through his back, leaving a fist-sized hole in his chest. No amount of Great Dao Power could repair it, and he ultimately fell on the spot.
With the fall of the first Supreme, the Heavenly Dao Alliance became increasingly cautious and vigilant.
However, the more tense they became, the more prone they were to mistakes.
