Chapter 804 Long Yi is here! (Second update)
Gu Jiao sensed the sharp killing intent and sword energy, and frowned: "Be careful!"
It was too late to dodge. Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and shoved the two of them toward the roof ahead.
It's better for the sword energy to land on his leg than for Gu Jiao to get injured along with him.
However, the expected pain did not come. On the other side of the roof, a figure in dark blue descended from the sky and unleashed a sword aura, protecting Gu Chengfeng, who was just a hair's breadth away from losing both legs.
Gu Chengfeng turned around and was instantly dumbfounded: "Big Brother?"
Gu Changqing struck out with his palm, sending him to the rooftop where Gu Jiao and the king had landed.
"You all need to leave quickly," he said calmly, his eyes warily fixed on the black-robed man standing two zhang away.
Gu Chengfeng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow... Why is Big Brother here?
Wasn't he always lying in the intensive care unit?
When did you wake up?
How did they know about his actions tonight?
Gu Jiao frowned slightly, clearly a little confused, but not as intensely as Gu Chengfeng, perhaps because she was naturally calm.
Nearly a month has passed since Gu Changqing was injured. Although his physical indicators are gradually stabilizing, he has not woken up in front of her.
The imperial advisor also said that he had never woken up.
Did he just wake up?
Considering Ye Qing's arrival, Gu Jiao guessed that the Imperial Advisor had somehow learned that she was going to break into the Cold Palace at night, so he arranged for Ye Qing to meet her while also sending the awakened Gu Changqing to rescue her.
Are the Imperial Advisor and Gu Changqing that familiar with each other?
"Walk!"
Gu Jiao said decisively.
Gu Chengfeng looked worriedly at Gu Changqing's retreating figure: "But my elder brother—"
Gu Jiao calmly said, "Dark Soul's target is the king. As long as we take the king away, Dark Soul will immediately catch up."
In other words, this was actually the only way for Gu Changqing to escape.
Gu Chengfeng turned back for one last look at his elder brother, sadly wiped his reddened eyes, grabbed Gu Jiao and the king, and leaped into the boundless night.
Only after confirming that their presence had disappeared did Gu Changqing breathe a sigh of relief.
"The medicine I gave you can temporarily suppress your aura, making it impossible for others to detect the changes in you. However, you are still recovering from serious injuries. Even with my help in your secret rehabilitation and training, it will still be difficult for you to reach your ideal strength in a short period of time."
The instructions of the Imperial Advisor flashed through his mind, and Gu Changqing gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.
He was able to stand up with the help of medication, and could only hold on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, he would no longer have any ability to resist.
Do not engage in direct combat with Dark Souls, otherwise you will only accelerate the depletion of the medicine's effects.
The eyes beneath the Dark Soul Mask narrowed slightly: "Ah, I remember now, you are Long Aotian. You survived being struck by my sword. You're incredibly lucky."
Gu Changqing said coldly, "My life is fortunate, but yours is not so fortunate."
Dark Soul sneered: "Even if my sword didn't kill you, it would have destroyed your foundation. Let me think, how are you able to stand before me unharmed? Did that Imperial Advisor poison you and turn you into a death warrior?"
Gu Changqing's pupils contracted!
Dark Soul added, "But it's strange, you don't have the aura of a death warrior on you."
Taking poison and becoming a suicide squad are not necessarily causally related. There are two types of suicide squads: one type learns the techniques of suicide squads from a young age, such as the Dragon Shadow Guards and most suicide squads on the market.
Another method is to take a poison that has no antidote to this day, and then learn the techniques of a death warrior. Dark Soul and Killer Heaven are this type of death warrior.
The advantage of the first method is that it is relatively safe, but the disadvantage is that it is age-restricted; people over five years old generally cannot train it, and its strength is not as great as the second type of assassin.
The advantage of the second method is that it has no age limit, but the disadvantage is that out of 100 people who are poisoned, 99 die.
“Even a normal person would have a hard time surviving that kind of poison, so you were even more injured than I should have been. But if you hadn’t been given that poison, how would you have recovered?”
Dark Soul's curiosity was completely piqued. "Tell me the answer, and in return, I can let you go."
Gu Changqing said meaningfully, "You really want to know? Then why don't you answer a few questions for me first? If you answer them to my satisfaction, then I'll tell you!"
“Young man, stalling for time is not a good idea.” Dark Soul wasn’t stupid. He admitted that he was indeed curious about the miracles that Long Aotian had performed, but he wouldn’t let the other party lead him by the nose.
He glanced at Gu Changqing indifferently: "I won't kill you today. I'll go to the Imperial Preceptor's Hall to ask you for an answer after I've dealt with what I have to do!"
"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" Gu Changqing dodged, blocking his path with his long sword.
But Dark Soul's movements were too fast. He didn't even have time to make a move before Dark Soul snapped his longsword back into its sheath!
Immediately afterwards, Dark Soul flashed by like a hurricane and disappeared into the night.
Gu Changqing watched his departing figure and secretly tightened her grip on the long sword in her hand.
Gu Chengfeng finally agreed to split up with Gu Jiao. Anyway, An Hun's target was the king, and as long as he left with the king, An Hun would definitely catch up with him.
It's much safer for that brat to walk by herself.
That was his plan, but little did he know that not long after he left, Gu Jiao in the alley took out a bone whistle and blew it sharply.
Gu Chengfeng froze. Oh no! He'd forgotten that the girl had a whistle!
Oh no!
Once Dark Soul hears the whistle, he will definitely chase after her!
Gu Chengfeng turned around to save Gu Jiao.
Wait, I can't do that.
If I take the king with me, and Dark Soul captures him, he will have no more scruples and will definitely kill both of us on the spot.
escape!
Get as far away as possible!
Dark Soul realized that the king was not in her hands, so she might not waste her time on her.
Gu Chengfeng's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and with the emperor on his back, he gritted his teeth and ran forward.
Upon hearing Gu Jiao's bone whistle, An Hun indeed changed course and chased after her. His lightness skill was excellent, and he moved across the steep rooftops as if walking on flat ground.
He quickly spotted the small figure weaving through the alley, a cold smile playing on his lips. He leaped and landed steadily in front of Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and kept running.
The Dark Soul easily flew over her head, blocking her path once again.
Gu Jiao's face darkened. It's such a hassle not knowing how to use light-body skills!
Dark Soul asked, "Where are they hiding?"
Gu Jiao said, "If you're so capable, find it yourself."
Dark Soul slowly approached her, his movements filled with murderous intent: "Kid, killing you is just a matter of snapping my fingers. If you know what's good for you, I'll give you a quick death."
Gu Jiao chuckled and said, "If you kill me, my men will kill the king!"
Dark Soul paused slightly in his steps.
Gu Jiao's acting skills reached an unprecedented level in the critical moment. She displayed a masterful and soulful performance: "I want the king in order to save my own life, but if I can't save my own life, then the king's life or death will naturally be irrelevant. If you don't believe me, try killing me. I can guarantee you that the king will die with me!"
Dark Soul gave her a deep look, as if trying to determine the truthfulness of her words.
After a moment, he laughed out loud: "Kid, you can't do it. I'll say it one last time, hand over the person, or I'll kill you."
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and said, "If I hand you over, does that mean you won't kill me?"
Dark Soul said, "I will kill too."
Gu Jiao crossed her arms: "So, why should I hand over the throne to you!"
As she spoke, she glanced casually at an abandoned stable to her right and behind her.
"In here?" Dark Soul ripped off the roof of the stable with a single blow, only to find it empty.
His face turned cold: "Kid, you're playing me!"
"Wait!" Gu Jiao raised her hand and calmly gestured for him to stop. "I can hand over the King of Great Yan, but I have one condition: let me see your face beneath the mask. No one in the six kingdoms has ever seen the faces of Dark Soul and Slaughtering Heaven. I want to see them. Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so just grant me this small wish."
Gu Jiao was stalling for time.
The Black Wind King is on his way.
Once the Black Wind King arrives, she will have a 50% chance of escaping.
Dark Soul scoffed, "Boy, you're not qualified to negotiate with me! My patience has truly run out. If you don't talk, I'll kill you first, then go find the king! I don't believe your accomplices can take the king very far!"
Gu Jiao pointed behind him: "Ah! Shitian!"
Dark Soul didn't believe that Shitian would appear, but the name bothered him so much that he almost couldn't help but instinctively turn around to look.
When he realized he had been tricked again, Gu Jiao had already thrown out a whole bag of black fire beads.
He was blasted back more than ten steps.
Gu Jiao took the opportunity to turn out of the alley.
"Boss!"
Gu Jiao saw the Black Wind King rushing towards her, her eyes lit up, and she even forgot the pain in her feet.
Dark Soul was completely enraged. He chased after him and slammed his palm against the wall beside him!
The long-neglected wall collapsed with a roar, crashing down on Gu Jiao right in the head and face!
"This time, no one will be able to save you!"
As soon as An Hun finished speaking, a dark figure flew out from the night, grabbed Gu Jiao with a long, strong arm, and flew out of the ruins in a flash!
He was moving so fast that Gu Jiao got a face full of his breath.
After he landed steadily, Gu Jiao, headfirst, looked at the long shadow cast on the ground by the moonlight and spat out a mouthful of wall dust with a blank expression: "Long time no see... Long Yi."
It seems like a lot of people are saying they give out tickets as soon as the dragon appears...
