“Zhang Jue!” Gonggong trembled in exasperation at Zhang Jue’s order to capture her. “Don’t you dare try to
make that about you; you know deep down whether I’ve betrayed North Moana. You are the traitor who
wanted to obtain power and destroy our alliance with the Nine Mainland in His Majesty’s absence.”
Gonggong tapped her feet on the ground and leaped into the air elegantly to face the hundreds of soldiers
headed toward her.
Gonggong knew that Zhang Jue had been suspicious about her for a long time, so what happened that day
was merely an excuse to get rid of her. She also knew that even if she submitted to Zhang Jue, he would
not let her live. If that were the case, she might as well pick a stance and go against him instead.
In the blink of an eye, Gonggong was swarmed by hundreds of soldiers. She could have defeated them
easily without breaking a sweat, but since they still needed the soldiers for their battle with the Raksasa
Army, she only pushed them off her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarryl observed the fight between Gonggong and the soldiers with a frown. His cold eyes fixated on
Zhang Jue as he searched his head for countermeasures against him. Zhang Jue was too cold-blooded,
and Gonggong had always been loyal to the North Moana continent, yet he had framed her as a traitor
and attacked her without any hesitation for his own benefits.
Next to him, Chester, Yvette, and the others could no longer stand the absurdity.
“Darryl!” Dax yelled, “Zhang Jue has gone too far this time; he’s manipulating the truth in his favor. Let’s take
care of him.”
“I agree.” Chester nodded in agreement. “Once he has dealt with Gonggong, we are going to be next. We
might well act now instead of sitting around for that.”
Chester would usually advise against reckless advancement, but Zhang Jue had been too despicable. First, he
had set Darryl up against their mutual enemy and almost caused their annihilation. Then, he was there to
create more trouble.
Of course, Chester was not blinded by anger either. Since they had kept the Raksasa King’s daughter as their
hostage, they would not act so rashly against them.
“Okay!” Darryl nodded, and the Heavenly Halberd appeared with a crisp sound. He pointed it toward the North
Moana army and commanded, “Heed my order, attack! Strike to disable and do your best not to kill them.”
Even though he was frustrated, he could remain cool-headed to a certain degree. The fight with the North
Moana Army was inevitable. Still, they must minimize the casualties to preserve the strength of the Nine
Mainland for fending off the Raksasa Tribe in future battles.
“Forward!” Waves of battle cries erupted from the army as they drew their weapons and charged toward the
North Moana Army. Everyone was engaged in heated battles within the blink of an eye.
They were mindful of Darryl’s command, so none of them aimed to kill. Instead, they tried their best to disable
the North Moana soldiers. However, the warriors had yet to recover their internal energy from the earlier battle
against the Raksasa Army, and so they were powerless before the formidable North Moana Army. Many of
Darryl’s soldiers screamed as they fell into their own pool of blood.
“Darryl Darby!” Zhang Jue said cunningly with a fearsome look in his eyes. “Remember, you started this; you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere the one who broke the alliance, and you will be held responsible for whatever comes next.” He drew his
sword and fired his internal energy, and moved toward Darryl like a meteorite.
‘Son of a b*tch!’ Darryl cursed inwardly.
Then, he said emotionlessly, “Zhang Jue, stop playing with words! You are the one who led your army here
and surrounded our camp. You were the one with evil intentions. Are we supposed just to sit and let you
walk all over us?” Darryl tightened his grip on the Heavenly Halberd and charged forth.
Darryl and Zhang Jue began their heated duel in mid-air as waves of intimidating energy spread
across the sky and stirred the clouds as they moved. Darryl had been confident at the beginning of
the duel. He had achieved the Heaven Ascension level, so his strength was comparable to Zhang Jue.
However, after a few minutes, the reality had Darryl in shock.
He sensed that Zhang Jue was stronger than he had imagined; he might even be more powerful than
Gonggong. Darryl was still weakened from the previous battle, so he had no time to recover. He began to
lose.
