“Roar!”
At the same time, Darryl rolled his wrist and a burning white flame appeared tossing and
turning in the air, finally settling in the shape of a lotus flower! Instantly, the temperature
rose around them and the entire hillside was covered in its blinding white light. It was the
White Lily Cold Flame! Darryl had decided to go all-in, he was close to a breakthrough
earlier today but with Zhang Jue’s plots, he was about to go into a psychotic break.
He had to use everything he had ever learnt for a chance to get away. “White Lily Cold Flame?”
Overwhelmed by the burning heat, Zhang Jue paled. White Lily Cold Flame was the most
powerful strange flame. It was indestructible and would burn whatever it touches in its way.
Zhang Jue forced his body to the side frantically, dodging the flame only by a few millimetres.
Simultaneously, Bradley Young and all the warriors swarmed towards Zhang Jue and
surrounded him in a tight circle.
Phew!

Darryl sighed a breath of relief as he leaned against a tree to anchor himself. Zhang Jue was

moment, but he could feel the chaos within his own body growing stronger.
Surrounded by Bradley Young and the others, Zhang Jue was having a hard time trying to
shake them off, his face turned a bruised red in irritation.
Zhang Jue was placed in a position where he was forced into defence with no hope of causing any damage to his
opponents. Bradley Young, Yuan Tiangang and the rest added up to hundreds of warriors. Not even Yang Jian
could handle them back when they were unleashed upon him at Mid City. Needless to say, Zhang Jue was hardly
comparable in strength to Yang Jian and hence, was over his head.
“Gonggong!”
Zhang Jue had his hands full and was clueless as to how he could break through. He turned around and saw
Gonggong standing there, her expression thoughtful. He couldn’t help but yell,” It’s now or never, Darby is under
the effect of the Bone Breaker Pills. His internal power won’t hold for much longer, you need to kill him right now.
If you hesitate and miss the chance, we might not get an opportunity like this ever again.”
“I…” Gonggong jerked forward as if someone gave her a push in the back.
She bit down on her lips hard, his words had her struggling now more than ever. With Darryl now wounded, she
could easily have him killed. But to attack someone in their weakened state…she couldn’t bring herself into doing
that.
Seeing Gonggong hesitated, Zhang Jue shouted in frustration,” Gonggong, stop stalling. Have you forgotten what
his Majesty told you right before we left?
Are you trying to disobey his order? Are you going to betray his Majesty?” “Hurry, all of Darby’s subordinates have
their attention on me. If you do it now, they won’t have enough time to react. NOW!” Zhang Jue shouted until he
was blue in the face.
Indeed, Zhang Jue was right. Bradley Young, Yuan Tiangang and the others were besieging him with all they had,
whereas Gonggong was right next to Darryl.
If she decided to attack, Darryl would not stand a chance in surviving. Darryl’s face darkened as he listened to
Zhang Jue’s relentless shout. His despicability truly knew no ends, having the audacity to ask someone else to do
his dirty business for him. He had spared Gonggong last night. For someone as prideful as her, she wouldn’t be
able to live with herself for taking advantage of his weakened state. Darryl scanned Gonggong up and down.
But if she decides to do it, Bradley Young and the rest would never make it next to him in time,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand that would be his doom.
Gonggong took a deep breath as if she was preparing herself. She looked back into Darryl’s
questioning eyes with complicated feelings in hers, and said, “Darryl, I’m sorry.”
Before he could react, her palm rose to an offensive position and stroked. With his internal
energy all over the place and his situation only worsening by the minute, there was no way
that he could have dodged the attack.
Everything went dark in an instant as Darryl collapsed with a muffled grunt and fell from the
cliff.
The side of the slope where Darryl fell off was extremely steep. A river with rapid current was
just a few hundred meters below. Splash! The completely unconscious Darryl fell into the river
and was carried out of sight almost immediately.
‘Darryl…sorry…I’m sorry…’
Gonggong bit her lips until they were bruised as she watched Darryl disappear into the river.
Tears gathered in her eyes.
‘I didn’t fire up my internal energy at the strike just now. All that was nothing but a show for
Zhang Jue,’ she thought. And yet the fact that Darryl was thrown into the river with no one
knowing whether he could survive or not, had Gonggong’s heart tangled with guilt.
