"Let's go! With A-Yuan here, Miss Xin will be fine!" Meng Meng said while blocking the arrow.
"Hmph! Want to leave? No way!" At this moment, four men in black flew down from the mountainside. They were dressed the same as the previous ones, and their faces were obscured, with only their eyes and eyebrows visible.
Meng Meng glanced at the quiver of the group; it was empty of arrows.
He held the knife and stood protectively in front of Gu Hui.
At this moment, there was a cliff behind them and a steep precipice in front of them. Two people were standing on either side of the path, and they had no way to escape.
Meng Meng swallowed hard, calculating whether he could create an escape route for Gu Hui.
He found he couldn't.
Gu Hui held the four deadly weapons in her hands, touching each one to determine its effect.
She figured that these four people probably hadn't seen her and Xinxin scattering the medicine, so they wouldn't suspect anything.
She took two small bamboo tubes and silently reached out to grasp Meng Meng's hand.
Meng Meng felt a pair of cool, soft hands touch his palms, and then something else.
“Meng Meng, Grandma Xiao gave it to me,” Gu Hui said.
Meng Meng grabbed Gu Hui's hand and successfully completed the handover. He was about to let go, but Gu Hui held on tighter.
Meng Meng: "!"
The four men in black laughed and said, "What, you want to be lovers even on the road to the underworld? Hahaha, how about taking off your clothes and dying together in each other's arms?"
"You son of a bitch, you've ruined this girl's reputation!" Meng Meng shook off Gu Hui's hand and rushed towards the two people in his direction.
Gu Hui twitched her lips and said, "If you pull them a little longer, we'll throw them together when they get closer!"
Unfortunately, Meng Meng had already rushed past, leaving Gu Hui only with the two people facing her.
She clenched the "Leaf Obscuring the Eyes" and "Xi Shi Holding Her Heart" in her hands.
Just in case, she left herself a blind spot. This attack happened very quickly, making it impossible to see clearly for a moment, giving her a chance to escape.
The effects of "Scratching You to Death" and "A Thousand Miles of Defecation" took a little longer to manifest, so she gave them to Meng Meng, since Meng Meng could hold his own for quite a while.
Seeing the two men in black rushing towards her, Gu Hui opened the cap of the small bamboo tube and made a defensive gesture. When the two men were very close, she waved her hand and then crouched down to pass between them.
The moment he stood up, he pulled a dagger from his trouser leg and swiftly stabbed the two men in black in the back with both hands.
"Ah!" Both of them were stabbed in the back and turned around to draw their swords to strike.
Gu Hui's face was scratched, but she didn't stop moving. Seeing an arrow not far away, she rolled over, picked it up, aimed at the heart of one of the men in black, stood up and threw it with all her might, just like her second uncle taught her and her siblings to shoot darts. She used all her strength.
Gu Huike is a granddaughter who perfectly inherited her grandmother's strength; with this throw, she went straight through it.
The man in black fell straight down.
Gu Hui looked at the person's bleeding wound and trembled all over, even feeling nauseous.
This was her first time killing someone. She was just a seventeen-year-old girl, and no matter how calm she was usually, she couldn't stay calm at this moment.
Another person couldn't hear their companion's voice anymore, and there was another fight behind them. They couldn't even figure out which direction Gu Hui was in.
Gu Hui sat down on the ground, picked up a pebble, and threw it towards the edge of the cliff.
The man's ears twitched, and he walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Gu Hui picked up another arrow and shot it at the person on the cliff edge.
This time, however, his hand trembled and he missed. The man then discerned Gu Hui's direction and turned to walk towards her with his sword.
Gu Hui took a deep breath and clenched the remaining Xizi Heart in her hand.
