Chapter 512 God of Slaughter! (Second Update)
Gu Jiao's emotions became violently volatile almost instinctively.
The goggles turned blood red, as if the whole world had turned blood red.
The heat of the blood burned her cheeks through the mask, and the violent impulses within her began to surge endlessly.
Everyone was stunned.
Master Zhao is a plague patient, and his blood... is also diseased. Doctor Gu...
Hearing the commotion inside, one of the guards outside the tent lifted the curtain and saw Gu Jiao with her face covered in blood. His expression changed, and he was about to walk towards Gu Jiao.
"Don't move!" Gu Jiao raised her hand to stop him.
The guard stopped in his tracks: "Doctor Gu, are you alright? What happened?"
"I'm fine." Gu Jiao slowly lowered her hand. It was a seemingly ordinary action, but no one knew how much self-control she had used.
She calmly said, "None of you come in. Shen Xuan, move aside."
She always called him Little Stone, but this was the first time she had called him by his real name.
Shen Xuan subconsciously noticed that something was wrong with her.
“Dr. Gu…” He stepped aside, stunned.
Gu Jiao squatted down in front of Master Zhao again.
Master Zhao was stunned by Gu Jiao's silent calmness; he dared not move or utter a sound.
He used too much force when he removed the needle, tearing the blood vessel.
Gu Jiao calmly and skillfully treated his injuries, re-inserted the needles, and calmly said, "The medicine is expensive, don't force me to waste it."
She doesn't waste medicine unless the person is dead.
Looking at Gu Jiao, who hadn't lost her temper at all from beginning to end, Master Zhao inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine!
After leaving the tent, Gu Jiao found a secluded spot and sat down against a bamboo grove.
She removed her contaminated goggles, mask, and gloves.
She didn't know if she would get infected.
She took two chloramphenicol pills from her first-aid kit and swallowed them with a handful of cold snow.
The Gu family army went to attack the city, leaving only one hundred people in the entire camp to take care of these patients.
The woods were quiet, yet Gu Jiao could almost hear the sounds of war drums and horns, the battering rams crashing against the city gates, and the Gu family army climbing the siege ladders…
She leaned against the bamboo, looked up at the dark and boundless sky, and a look of bewilderment appeared on her face.
For a fleeting moment.
Her mind went blank.
"Dr. Gu!"
A bodyguard approached and reported, "Someone's coming!"
Gu Jiao instantly went into battle mode, stood up abruptly, picked up her small basket, and asked calmly, "How many people?"
The guard said, "Twenty men, including several assassins!"
It seems that the remnants of the previous dynasty discovered that the plague patients had disappeared and specially sent people to capture them and bring them back.
Gu Jiao had already made several preparations. If no one came after them, they would wait here for Gu Changqing and the Gu family army to return in triumph; if someone came after them, they would move to another place.
She marked at least three backup locations.
Gu Jiao said to the guards, "Take the patient and go to that dilapidated temple on the way here."
"yes!"
The guards only obeyed orders and never questioned Gu Jiao's decisions.
The secret guards and one hundred members of the Gu family army took the patient and transferred him.
This time, Master Zhao behaved himself. He sat in the carriage, and Shen Xuan took his IV drip and hung it on the carriage.
"Do you still remember how to remove the needles?" Gu Jiao asked Shen Xuan.
The first time she went to the village, she gave Shen Xuan acupuncture. Shen Xuan nodded: "I remember."
"Alright then." Gu Jiao didn't elaborate further. She picked up her red-tasseled spear, slung her small basket over her shoulder, and walked towards the direction from which the group of experts had come.
"Dr. Gu!"
Shen Xuan called out to her.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jiao turned around.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Xuan leaned out of the window and said to her through his mask, "You... you'll be alright, won't you?"
Gu Jiao glanced at him but didn't answer his question. Instead, she said, "If I don't catch up in an hour, you should go to Yuegu City and find a doctor surnamed Song. He knows what to do."
She left a lot of medicine for Dr. Song, including chloramphenicol and ribavirin.
Shen Xuan hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Gu Jiao turned around and disappeared into the boundless night.
Shen Xuan watched Gu Jiao's small figure gradually disappear into the woods as the carriage slowly moved forward, his gaze lingering on her.
The group moved quickly, riding horses, and arrived deep in the forest in less than a quarter of an hour.
They pushed their speed to the limit, but suddenly, they spotted a small, unfamiliar figure in the distance, in the bamboo forest and in the snow.
It appeared to be a young man wearing dark armor, holding a helmet in one hand and a red-tasseled spear in the other. The young man was not yet of age, and his dark hair was not tied up high, but only half tied behind his head with a light blue ribbon.
The other half was draped over her shoulders, fluttering in the cold wind.
Even though they were still a long distance apart, and the boy remained completely still, everyone could feel the murderous aura emanating from him, a power as vast as mountains and rivers!
Almost simultaneously, all twenty men tightened their grip on the reins.
The leader of the assassins was the first to react. He frowned and said coldly, "It's a Zhao soldier! Kill him!"
The armor of the Gu family army is silver armor. When Tang Yueshan made the armor for Gu Jiao, he followed the style of the Tang family archers, but it was not exactly the same. Her weapon is a long spear, and this armor was custom-made for her and her red-tasseled spear.
It is a unique piece of armor in the Zhao Kingdom.
The twenty men quickened their pace and drew their longswords.
Gu Jiao glanced at him coldly, casually put on her helmet, pulled down her mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that looked like those of a killing god.
At that very moment, the hearts of the twenty experts all skipped a beat!
A chill ran down his spine for no reason. It was too late to retreat, and besides, he couldn't. If word got out that twenty experts couldn't defeat a greenhorn, people would laugh their heads off!
"Kill them all!"
The leader of the assassins gave the order.
The next second, the God of Slaughter's red-tasseled spear appeared out of nowhere, severing his head with unstoppable lightning speed!
Blood splattered all over his companion, and a round head rolled onto the snow. Before his horse could stop, its hooves trampled over the head...
Everyone was stunned!
How could this young man possess such skill!
No, I should say he doesn't look that old, how could he be so cruel!
"Is...is it a suicide squad?"
A master asked, his voice trembling.
One of the four accompanying assassins was already dead, and the remaining three all looked at the boy in front of them.
The boy did indeed seem to possess a trace of the aura of a death warrior, but he was even more powerful than a death warrior, and they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.
They felt an almost instinctive fear of the murderous young man before them.
Even so, the boy had no intention of letting them go, and his red-tasseled spear soon attacked them again.
This time, she attacked yet another assassin.
Ordinary soldiers cannot distinguish between experts and assassins. More skilled experts might be able to, but they cannot be so precise and swift.
When all four assassins died under the boy's red-tasseled spear, the rest knew they had no chance of winning.
"withdraw!"
A man in black shouted angrily.
He took the lead and galloped away!
Gu Jiao grabbed the red-tasseled spear, stared coldly at his back, and suddenly shot the spear out!
The immense force, like a barrage of arrows, sent the man in black, armor and all, flying off his horse. His back was pierced, and he crashed heavily onto the snow.
The remaining few had lost all will to fight and watched in trepidation as the young man drew his red-tasseled spear and walked towards them step by step.
The blood from the red-tasseled spear dripped onto the snow, like a field of soul-summoning flowers blooming on the road to the underworld.
"You, you, you... don't come any closer! We are Prince Yi's trusted confidants!"
Another man in black, sitting on horseback, tightened his grip on the reins and spoke to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao did not stop walking.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.
The man in black continued, "Prince Yi is the chosen one of Heaven, selected by the Living Buddha. He is the reincarnation of an imperial star. As long as you are willing to submit to Prince Yi, he will surely grant you high office and great wealth!"
The young killer is getting closer and closer.
Everyone unconsciously leaned back.
The man in black, sweating profusely, said, "If you release us, Prince Yi will reward you. Don't think that just because the Gu family army has arrived, your Zhao Kingdom's court will win. Chen Kingdom's 100,000 reinforcements will soon arrive at the border! They've brought Liang Kingdom's crossbows; they can attack cities like it's nothing. You can't win—"
Before he could finish speaking, the boy's red-tasseled spear pierced his heart.
"You talk too much."
The young man finished speaking calmly and drew his red-tasseled spear without expression.
The man in black fell straight down in the snow. The horse, startled by him, neighed twice and shifted its hooves uneasily.
Everyone else kept their mouths shut.
We don't talk much!
Don't kill us!
The boy glanced at them with a world-weary look: "He didn't even leave a last message. Looks like he's prepared to die."
Everyone: "...!!"
