Chapter 2226

Yang Jian, who was nearby, was extremely anxious. He wanted to rush forward to help, but he was apprehensive of

Darryl’s Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Those people in the pagoda had ganged up on him in the previous

battle. Even though he was not injured, he had used up much of his internal energy.

Yang Jian was also highly conceited. Many people had criticized him when he had attacked Darryl so suddenly the

last time. If he were to attack the man again, everyone would probably mock him throughout the Nine Mainland

again.

“Argh…”

His enemy was right in front of him, yet he could not kill her. Zhang Jue’s fury continued to rise by the moment. He

roared angrily toward the skies before he glared at Darryl. You had better not end up in my hands. Otherwise, I’ll

make sure you’d wish you had never been born.”

He chuckled.

Darryl did not panic even when he felt Zhang Jue’s resentment. Instead, he chuckled lightly and said, “Take care of

yourself first.”

Bang!

Right at that moment, Megan took the chance to go behind Zhang Jue and ambushed him. Zhang Jue’s attention

had been on Darryl. He could not react in time. He let out a muffled grunt and flew more than 10 meters backward

before he landed on the ground; he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Swoosh!

Zhang Jue’s face was extremely pale. He glared at Megan and was so livid that he almost passed out. He thought

that he could kill the woman to repay for what she did to him previously. However, he did not expect that not only

did he not manage to kill her, but she managed to injure him in front of everyone as well.

That was utter humiliation!

Zhang Jue was an egotistical person. At that moment, he had been injured by Megan. He was embarrassed; that

was why he was angry.

“Senior.”

Megan hovered in mid-air. She was incredibly calm when she faced Zhang Jue’s loathing glares. She said gently,

“I’m sorry for tricking you in Lu Bu’s ancient tomb. It was my fault, and I should have sought your forgiveness. But

you are currently helping the North Moana Army to invade my homeland. Forgive me, but I can’t just sit back and

do nothing.”

“You—”

Zhang Jue’s expression darkened, but he was speechless.

Swoosh!

Yang Jian quickly moved in front of Zhang Jue. He said worryingly, “Military adviser, are you alright?”

Zhang Jue shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Thus, even though Megan’s attack was strong, it did not

injure him too severely.

“Everyone, listen up!”

Right at that moment, Darryl, who hovered in mid-air, ordered his men. “Resume formation. The 50,000 men in

front, take 100 steps forward, the 50,000 men to the left, stay put. The right—”

Darryl was ready with his counterattack. Zhang Jue had been injured and could not command the army. It was an

excellent opportunity for a counterattack.

“Kill!”

The Carter family and Westrington Army immediately regrouped and let out an earth-shattering yell. Then, they

rushed toward the North Moana Army.

Without Zhang Jue to command them, the North Moana Army was in a chaotic mess; many of them had been

injured too.

“Military adviser.”

Yang Jian’s expression darkened. He was shocked and furious. Then, he asked Zhang Jue, “What should we do?

Should we continue to fight?”

At that moment, Yang Jian could see that Zhang Jue’s face was pale, and his aura was feeble as well. Even though

his life was not in danger, it was impossible for him to command the army anymore.

However, he was still great at war strategies, so Yang Jian still had to ask him.

“No!”

Zhang Jue shook his head and said weakly, “Let’s retreat, Your Majesty. I was reckless today, and we lost our

chance. But, we still have the opportunity to attack in the future.”

If the two armies were to fight to the death, the North Moana Army would definitely have an advantage. However,

Darryl had a great mastery of the art of war. By then, he would have cast a formation and defended with all his

might.

Even if the North Moana managed to seize Mid City, they would suffer a huge loss as well.

That was not something that Zhang Jue had wanted.

When he said that, Zhang Jue looked at Darryl, who was nearby, with deep resentment in his eyes.

It was all because of Darryl! Otherwise, he would have killed Megan, she would not have had the chance to injure

him, and he would still dominate the battlefield.
