Joe’s eyes darted back and forth as if he was unsure. He then smiled and responded, “Oh,

this? My ancestors were doctors and they left behind some formulas as their legacy. It is

difficult to get medical attention this deep into the woods so I picked herbs as backups when I

was logging.” Joe’s tone was composed as he explained, but his eyes were filled with panic.

Darryl couldn’t see his face in their positions and hence, didn’t think to doubt his explanation.

After some time, they managed to reach halfway through the mountainside. An empty field

unfolded before them. A few cabins were scattered across the field next to one another, with

trimmed logs piling up next to them.

“Where is your family?” Darryl asked as he turned to look at Joe.

“They are probably resting in the cabin. Good sir, you can just walk in!” Joe replied anxiously.

At the same time, Gonggong’s brows tangled up with anticipation. Darryl paid no mind to her

expression as he nodded, setting Joe down on the bench next to the door, before proceeding

to push the doors open.

The moment the doors swung open, Darryl froze at the scene before him. There sat a woman

with panic written all over her face. There were two children next to her who couldn’t have

been over 10 years old. Their faces were pale with fear.

It was obvious that they were Joe’s wife and children, but by the looks of it, it seemed as though they had been

threatened and were being held as hostages.

At that instant, Darryl realized that something was wrong. Before he could react, a shadow dashed in from the

doorway and sent a fierce punch on Darryl’s chest. It was Zhang Jue, his expression bloodthirsty and cruel.

Zhang Jue was swift in his ambush and within close proximity. Darryl couldn’t do much to dodge, but he managed

to immediately fire up his internal energy as protection.

Baam!

The punch landed directly on Darryl’s chest in full force. With a muffled grunt, he was sent flying backwards. He

slammed into a tree and fell to the ground.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” Terrified, Joe shouted towards Darryl in tears. “I didn’t want to do this, he made me…”

As he broke down into a sobbing mess, the herbs he was holding fell to the ground, revealing azure pills that were

stuffed in between the herbs. Darryl ignored Joe and locked his glare onto Zhang Jue.

“Zhang Jue!” Withstanding the agonizing pain, Darryl said coldly,”You pride yourself over being the commander

of North Moana Continent, and yet you use such despicable means against me.”

Darryl felt as if his heart had been completely shattered to pieces.

Intensive pain radiated throughout his body but at the same time, he was glad that he managed to protect himself

from further damages with his internal energy. Otherwise, that punch Zhang Jue landed could have easily killed

him.

Zhang Jue laughed at the comment and stared right into Darryl’s eyes. “Darryl Darby, there is no means too

despicable if it serves the purpose. You are indeed a talented one, but it’s a shame that you are too caught up

with benevolence. Back at the South Cloud World, had you left those commoners behind, you wouldn’t have been

suppressed by me the entire time.”

Zhang Jue’s eyes flashed in wicked coldness, “I’ll tell you right now, I was the one who broke Joe’s leg. I

threatened him into working for me with the lives of his wife and children. He was ordered to fool you here, right

where I would be waiting to ambush you. See those herbs that he was holding?

The blue pills stuffed between them are called the Bone Breaker Pills. I had them prepared just for you.

powers.”

Darryl couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His eyes turned red as they glared at Zhang Jue.

“So in order to defeat it, you went and laid your filthy hands on the innocents? Are you even

human?” he asked.

Rage burned within him as he once again recognized just what a brutal snake Zhang Jue was,

going as far as to break an ordinary person’s leg and threatened him with his family’s lives.

Despicable, insidious, cruel, there weren’t enough words in the world to describe the likes of

him.

At the same time, Darryl could distinctly feel that his internal energy was slowly succumbing to

an invisible force within him. Instantly, panic rose alongside his anger. The Bone Breaker Pills?

It didn’t sound like anything in the Infinite Elixir Manual. Little did he know, the Bone Breaker

Pills was invented and made by Zhang Jue.

It was inspired by the Immortal Pure Scripture. Hence, like the Dark Day Pill created by Megan

Castello, there was currently no cure to it.

With his eyes steady on Darryl, Zhang Jue sneered and said, “I’ve told you, benevolence is your

Achilles’ heel. You have nobody to blame but yourself for dying here today in my hands.

Prepare yourself.”

Zhang Jue leaped into action and began making his way towards Darryl.
