Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2318

Before anyone had the time to react, Zhang Jue appeared right before Darryl, his fist ready to strike. Instantly the sky darkened as clouds gathered at the sheer energy. The punch was filled with Zhang Jue's internal energy that had been honed and sharpened by mastering the Immortal Pure Scripture over a period of a thousand years. Sensing the mighty power within that single attack, Darryl cursed inwardly. Zhang Jue sure was merciless, he was going for the kill.

Darryl dared not to hesitate and immediately summoned the Heavenly Halberd, which appeared in his hands with a crisp sound. The moment it appeared, a wave of bottomless fight-will erupted and surrounded Darryl, so much so that everyone at the spot could taste the blood in the air. Heavenly Halberd? Zhang Jue sobered at the appearance of the Heavenly Halberd, as caution and passion flashed within his eyes simultaneously.

"I alone was worthy of wielding such a powerful weapon. I must kill Darryl Darby right there and then and claim the Heavenly Halberd as my own." Zhang Jue plotted with stone-cold eyes. He sped up and blurred into a fearsome shadow as he engaged in the heated duel with Darryl.

Joe and his family were frightened to death as they balled up next to one another, trying to stay as quiet as possible. Gonggong bit her lips hard at the two figures floating mid-air, her heart filled with worry and frustration. On their way here, Gonggong had tried to warn Darryl about the attack a couple of times, but she ended up keeping her mouth shut. Now that Zhang Jue really did succeed in ambushing him before her eyes, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Sure, Darryl Darby was abominable, but he didn't deserve to die. Had she known that she would come to regret it, she would have told Darryl somewhere along the way. But now it was too late for that.

Half an hour had passed in a blink of an eye. Zhang Jue held nothing back with everything method he's known, yet still he couldn't manage to bring Darryl into submission. Zhang Jue could distinctly sense that Darryl was close to breaking through the Heaven Ascension. The realization had him stunned internally. Darryl Darby, his powers were getting stronger by the day. Fortunately he had him trapped here today, otherwise it would have been challenging to have him killed after that.

Darryl, on the other hand, was panicking on the inside as well, his expression grim. With the help of the Heavenly Halberd's power, it should have been easy to take Zhang Jue down. However, he could feel as if an unknown form of energy had penetrated into his entire body ever since he accidentally took the Bone Breaker Pills in. An invisible barrier formed itself around his energy field, making it extremely difficult to fire up his internal energy.

What had Darryl most infuriated was that he was so close to breaking through Heaven Ascension, and right now he was at the bottleneck where what happened could easily either ruin him or complete him. With the interference of the strange force within him, his internal energy and energy field were beginning to show signs of a rebound. At the stage of reaching the bottleneck, these signs could be indications of a life-threatening crisis. He could be forced into a psychotic break, or worse, die. On top of that, he still had to counter Zhang Jue's attack. The situation simply could not be worse.

Bang! Finally, Zhang Jue caught a chance and landed a strike on Darryl's back. Darryl jerked forward and fell from the sky. Blood came spilling out from his mouth before his body even touched the ground.

"Darryl Darby!" Zhang Jue sneered, his eyes flashed dangerously. "You will die today, stop trying to run and resign to your fate!"

"Resign to my fate?" Darryl wiped the blood off from the corner of his mouth and stood proudly in response to that, his eyes bloody with determination. "Not once have I, Darryl Darby, bowed down before fate in my entire life. If you want to have me killed, just come on and try..."

Almost shouting at the end of those words, Darryl waved his hands and amongst the blinding golden light, a golden tower appeared. It was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! Out came hundreds of warriors, including Bradley Young, Yuan Tiangang, Pang Tong, and the Red Eye Warrior, under Darryl's summoning spell.
