Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2317

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.

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.
