The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2028

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.
