Chapter 514 Killing Tianlang (Second Update)
A direct confrontation with a master like Tianlang is not an option. She has only recovered 20-30% of her strength and can't even defeat the Dragon Shadow Guards, let alone Tianlang.
We must outsmart them.
Gu Jiao hadn't expected Tianlang to be so alert. This wasn't the most advantageous terrain in Gu Jiao's plan. She had seen the map of Lingguan City, and there was a canyon three miles ahead in this direction.
That canyon was the battlefield where she fought against Sirius.
Unfortunately, Sirius discovered it too early.
The current geographical conditions are somewhat unfavorable to Gu Jiao—it's too open, making it perfect for Sirius to slaughter Gu Jiao, this little cub.
Without even asking who Gu Jiao was, Tianlang unleashed his second deadly attack on her.
Gu Jiao wasn't sure if he was unable to speak or simply too lazy to speak; his gaze towards Gu Jiao was full of disdain.
Indeed, given his skills, he is a fully grown alpha wolf, while Gu Jiao can at most be considered a cub of a lone wolf.
What is there to fear?
Tianlang's second attack was no longer aimed at Gu Jiao's red-tasseled spear. Since he had taken a liking to this weapon, he would not damage it. Instead, he thrust it directly at Gu Jiao's neck, intending to sever her head!
This kind of play is just too arrogant!
Gu Jiao blocked his attack with her spear, managing to withstand it for the second time!
Tianlang narrowed his cold eyes slightly, clearly not expecting this little wolf cub to actually have some skill.
Gu Jiao always remembered what her godfather had told her: the best defense is offense. She couldn't just stay in one place and wait for Tianlang to come and beat her up; she had to beat Tianlang up too.
She swung her red-tasseled spear with her right hand, aiming for Tianlang's face, while her left hand discreetly grasped the syringe hidden in her sleeve.
She pushed the cap off the needle with her thumb and, in the instant she was close to Sirius, plunged it into Sirius's neck!
Sirius was fully armed, with only his neck, hands, and eyes exposed. Clearly, the neck was an easier target.
During this period, Gu Jiao's strength continued to recover, and she improved a lot compared to when she was in the capital. Gu Jiao's hands were so fast that they seemed to leave only afterimages.
No one knew that her left and right hands were actually equally dexterous; she could be right-handed or left-handed, and her habits were the ones she wanted people to see.
It has to be said, her hands were too fast, so fast that even Tianlang didn't expect her to use a hidden weapon on herself.
But Sirius is no pushover either.
The moment the needle pierced his neck, he reacted instantly, slapping Gu Jiao away!
Gu Jiao slid backwards for dozens of steps in the snow until she finally stopped when she plunged her red-tasseled spear deep into the snow!
The syringe was also knocked away.
What a pity.
That's top-quality anesthetic.
Fighting is fine, but wasting medicine is not.
Gu Jiao was very angry.
She straightened up, panting, walked over to pick up the syringe that had been knocked away, and attacked Sirius once again!
There are no fancy moves.
Sirius once again sent Gu Jiao and the syringe flying together.
This time, Gu Jiao wasn't as lucky as the first time. She fell heavily into the snow and couldn't get up for a long time.
Sirius, thinking she was dead, came to collect his spoils of war—the red-tasseled spear.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao braced herself against the cold ground, revealing the eyes of a little beast, grabbed the syringe from the snow, and relentlessly stabbed at Tianlang!
Tianlang was really annoyed. After knocking Gu Jiao away again, he planned to first stomp on the hidden weapon, then stomp on Gu Jiao's head, and preferably make Gu Jiao's brains splatter all over the ground!
Gu Jiao fell to the ground in the snow along with the red-tasseled spear. She clutched her chest, suppressing the metallic taste rising in her throat, and glared coldly at Tianlang.
Sirius went to the other side and stomped hard on the syringe!
But at that very moment, something incredible happened.
The moment the syringe shattered, Sirius was blasted away by the sudden explosion beneath his feet!
Gu Jiao gave a cold, curt smile.
Do you really think it's still a syringe?
How about detonators?
Detonators are not easy to make, and they are also difficult to preserve. They explode when vibrated, and if they vibrate before you can get rid of them, Gu Jiao herself might be the first to die.
Furthermore, the detonators she made were different from those in her previous life. First of all, they were much less powerful, since she extracted nitroglycerin from medicine in her medicine box, and the purity and dosage might not be high enough.
There's only one.
She herself hadn't experienced its power.
However, judging from the mottled bloodstains on Sirius's body, it seems to have been quite powerful.
It is more powerful than the Black Fire Pearl.
Sirius lay dead in the snow, his armor shattered, his helmet blown off, and it was impossible to tell where he was injured; his body was covered in blood.
He tried to move, but the power of this knock-off detonator was probably too great, and he was a little intoxicated. His body trembled slightly, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
Very well, I'll strike while the iron is hot and take your life!
Gu Jiao grabbed the red-tasseled spear and, enduring the aches and pains all over her body, walked towards Tianlang.
She had considered using a detonator directly on Sirius, but she wasn't sure if he would choose to dodge. If he intentionally dodged, then she would never be able to hit him no matter what.
Therefore, the only option is to lure him into destroying the detonator himself.
To lure him in, Gu Jiao recklessly endured so many slaps while holding the syringe, and was now truly exhausted.
Gu Jiao walked up to Tianlang, panting as she looked at him: "But... I still have the strength to kill you."
Having said that, she gritted her teeth, raised her red-tasseled spear, and thrust it fiercely into the heart of the Heavenly Wolf!
In the blink of an eye, Tianlang, who had been dazed by the explosion, suddenly grabbed Gu Jiao's spear out of a sense of crisis!
He pulled downwards sharply!
Gu Jiao's already exhausted body almost uncontrollably tumbled forward.
Tianlang raised his other hand and grabbed Gu Jiao's neck.
His bloodshot eyes made him look like a ferocious beast.
However, he forgot that Gu Jiao was also a ferocious little beast!
Gu Jiao didn't try to grab his hand that was choking her neck. Instead, she moved her hand in the opposite direction, and the real syringe fell into her hand.
She stabbed him in the shoulder with lightning speed!
This time, it wasn't anesthesia.
It's a neurotoxin!
It can completely paralyze the central nervous system in a very short time, causing muscle paralysis, numbness in the limbs, and gradually loss of the ability to breathe independently, eventually leading to suffocation and death.
This is a special neurotoxin developed by the research institute, several times more potent than similar neurotoxins on the market. It takes effect in three seconds for an ordinary person, but he is an expert, so Gu Jiao gave him ten seconds.
However, ten seconds passed.
He remained stubbornly steadfast!
The force with which he gripped Gu Jiao's neck did not lessen in the slightest.
Because of his injury, he couldn't exert his original strength, but even so, if he kept pinching her like that, Gu Jiao would still have trouble breathing.
This medicine is only given in one injection, and once it's used up, that's it.
Besides, even if she did have it, Gu Jiao wouldn't be able to get it now.
Gu Jiao decided to gouge out his eyes, but to her surprise, he chose to give up grabbing Gu Jiao's red-tasseled spear and instead used his bloodied hand to swiftly strike Gu Jiao's acupoint.
Gu Jiao's hand, which was poking at his eyeballs, froze in mid-air.
Gu Jiao's mind was filled with one sentence.
It's over.
He had the final say on whether to kill or torture them.
Tianlang threw Gu Jiao onto the snow. Instead of grabbing the red-tasseled spear on the ground, he pulled out a dagger from his boot.
The neurotoxin was starting to take effect. Gu Jiao's eyes darted around as she saw his hand holding the dagger begin to tremble uncontrollably.
He probably didn't have the strength to stab himself.
Sirius can't stab him, but he can slit his throat.
The dagger was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud and severing hair with a single blow. He slumped down beside Gu Jiao, trembling as he pointed the dagger at her neck.
Gu Jiao felt a deep chill on her neck.
The blade was about to slice open her delicate neck.
However, at that very moment, the neurotoxin in Tianlang's body finally took full effect. His hand trembled, and the dagger fell beside Gu Jiao's ear. He also knelt down and collapsed on top of Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao: "..."
Tianlang landed sideways on Gu Jiao, his head face down in the snow.
It's quite heavy.
Snowflakes began to fall again from the sky at some unknown time. They were light at first, but mixed with the howling north wind, they were extremely cold, feeling like knives cutting into one's face.
Gu Jiao was acupunctured and lay motionless in the snow.
The neurotoxin paralyzed Sirius's breathing, and Sirius eventually became a cold corpse.
However, Gu Jiao's body also began to gradually stiffen.
She gazed at the snowflakes falling from the sky, at the dark and boundless heavens, and listened to the howling wind rushing past her ears, gradually freezing until she lost all feeling.
It must be said that she chose the path of becoming a prince consort extremely well; no one else could have found it.
In the vast snowfield, who could possibly see those two tiny figures lying in the snow?
After an unknown amount of time, the light snow turned into a heavy snowfall.
The bloodstains and scent on the ground were covered by large snowflakes, and a thin layer of snow covered her and Tianlang.
Let me guess, someone will jump out and say that Jiaojiao is too weak, or too reckless.
What I want to say is that Jiaojiao's goal was to kill Tianlang, and she succeeded.
She protected her brother; she was amazing.
