The ultimate husband

Keith had his eyes fixed on Zhang Jue as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

‘Who is this? He’s so powerful.’

Zhang Jue had been merciful. Had he mustered all of his strength, Keith would have been killed by the impact.

At the same time, Yang Jian and the generals around him were also equally stunned—they looked baffled.

Keith was a level five Martial Emperor. The man had warded off his attack easily with a protective shield. That was

unbelievable.

Besides, the man looked so relaxed.

Who the hell was he?

Yang Jian reacted; his eyes riveted on Zhang Jue and his expression was extremely ugly. Finally, he said coldly, “Take

that person down.”

No matter who the opponent was, they should be ready to face the consequences and death if they cause trouble

in his camp.

Whoosh… whoosh…

Dozens of royal guards immediately rose into the air and surrounded Zhang Jue.

Those royal guards were responsible for the safety of the palace. Hence, they were not weak. Most of them were

level four Martial Emperor, and they should be at least a level three Martial Emperor.

In an instant, the royal guards’ breath of aura distorted the air—the force was astonishing.

However, Zhang Jue was indifferent, and he did not panic. Instead, he muttered annoyingly, “It looks like you people

are not going to let the matter rest, are you?”

Zhang Jue waved his palm and blasted the massive tree next to him. The tree broke into several wooden stakes.

Then, Zhang Jue placed those wooden stakes around him.

All his movements were done in a smooth flow—it was fascinating to watch.

Yang Jian, Ambrose and the others frowned when they saw what had happened. The wooden stakes around the

man seemed like a simple defense mechanism, but they looked mysterious and unfathomable.

‘Could this be a formation?’

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The royal guards dashed forward and displayed their attacking skills on Zhang Jue, but the older man calmly and

quickly moved the stakes around. Before the royal guards realized what had happened, they were all trapped by

the wooden stakes.

Yang Jian’s guess was correct. Zhang Jue had used those wooden stakes to set up a formation called the Inverse

Five Elements Formation.

A thousand years ago, Zhang Jue was known as the General of Heaven. He led an army consisting of the Yellow

Turban Rebellion and fought everywhere; he took the world by storm. In addition to his formidable strength and

outstanding commanding ability, Zhang Jue was also very clever in formations.

The Inverse Five Element Formation was one of the formations that Zhang Jue had learned.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the royal guards were still trapped within it as they spun around in

circles.

Ugh…

Yang Jian, Ambrose and everyone else was utterly stunned; they could not believe what they had seen.

The man had simply placed a few wooden stakes in random positions, and it had such a magical effect to trap a

dozen of royal guards?

How incredible!

Yang Jian recovered from the shock, and he was extremely annoyed. He had so many royal guards, but they were

unable to capture one person. The miserable failure should embarrass everyone in North Moana.

Yang Jian thought that to himself, and he could no longer hold back his emotions. He glared at Zhang Jue; his tone

was laced with murderous intent. “Very well. I thought you’re just a hillbilly. I didn’t expect you to be such an

accomplished master. Show me what you’ve got.”

Buzz!

Yang Jian discharged a scary burst of aura after he said that. For a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant!

His unfathomable and mighty power was horrifying!

Oh?

When he felt the terrifying aura from Yang Jian, Zhang Jue’s face changed slightly, and he immediately became

vigilant.

‘Grandmaster Erlang is a world-renowned expert, indeed. He is extremely powerful.’

Zhang Jue knew that he was at the North Moana Army camp, and their commander was Grandmaster Erlang Yang

Jian even before he started his fishing expedition.

Zhang Jue mustered his internal energy, and he stood on guard to greet Yang Jian’s attack.

Bang!

Yang Jian charged at Zhang Jue without any hesitation as he clutched his Tri-point Double-edged saber.

“Your Majesty, please don’t—”

Eira yelled in the nick of time. Her delicate face looked anxious and worried. “I beg Your Majesty to stop attacking

him. He is my master. This must be a misunderstanding—”

Eira felt as if her heart had leapt out of her throat when she said that.

She knew that her master was very powerful, but his opponent was Yang Jian—Grandmaster Erlang. Her master

might not be Yang Jian’s match. As a disciple, how could she let her master be in trouble?

What?

Yang Jian stopped and looked around at Eira. Then, he said in surprise, “Is he your master?”

Eira nodded quickly and replied nervously, “Yes, I beg Your Majesty to be merciful.”

‘What?’

Ambrose, who was in the crowd, was shocked and surprised to hear that.

‘The expert is my sister’s master? Why haven’t I heard anything from her?’

Yang Jian said nothing. He merely nodded before he landed on the ground and stowed the Tri-point Double-edged

saber away.

Eira was Ambrose’s younger sister. She went along with the army and even contributed to the army. She should be

credited for her hard work and dedication. If the man were her master, then Yang Jian would let the matter slip as

he considered the man part of his team.

“My apprentice?”
