Chapter 680 Master Has Arrived (Second Update)
How dare a mere archer challenge the Imperial Guards of the Crown Prince's residence!
That's incredibly overestimating myself!
The leader leaped up, swung his long sword, and slashed it down fiercely at Gu Jiao's head!
"Let's see how you shoot arrows at this close range!"
Gu Jiao did not choose to dodge, letting the horse take the hit.
But if he thinks Gu Jiao only knows how to shoot arrows, then he is making a big mistake.
Gu Jiao looked at him calmly.
Even though they were about to split him in two, why was this kid still so calm?
Gu Jiao's composure was not due to underestimating her opponents. In fact, these people were quite skilled in martial arts, each of them approaching the strength of Tianlang.
She had never tried to deal with six "Sirius" at once.
But she wouldn't let herself panic.
Fight when you need to fight, kill when you need to kill. Fight tough opponents seriously, fight weak opponents half-heartedly. In any case, there is no way out.
As the sword energy struck, her long hair and the hem of her clothes flew backward.
She drew her red-tasseled spear from behind her and blocked the opponent's attack in one move!
The sword energy shattered the white cloth covering the red-tasseled spear, revealing the small braid at the spearhead and the large red flowers covering the spear shaft.
The leader was almost blinded by the light, and he even caught his breath!
Holy crap, what is this?!
Gu Jiao swung her gun and struck him in the waist!
Holy crap!
He was sent flying!
It wasn't that he couldn't dodge it, nor that he couldn't catch it; it was simply that the red-tasseled spear was too ugly. In all his years of martial arts practice, he had never seen such an ugly weapon before!
He used his longsword to brace himself before falling to the ground, and then flipped over to steady himself!
"Big brother!"
The remaining people gathered around.
The leader looked coldly at Gu Jiao and said, "You guys figure out a way to get across, even if you have to swim! I can handle a kid like you!"
"Yes, brother!"
The group responded in unison.
They could actually see that this kid only had physical strength and resilience, and no internal energy whatsoever. No matter how strong his moves were, he would never last more than ten moves against any of them.
My brother can handle her with ease!
The group of people started walking forward.
Gu Jiao spurred her horse to the group, braced her red-tasseled spear on the ground, and used the momentum to flip and leap, landing in front of them!
Holding a red-tasseled spear, she stood guard against all odds: "Today, no one will get past!"
One of the Imperial Guards said, "You've got quite the nerve. Take this!"
He drew his sword and slashed at Gu Jiao.
They were indeed taken aback by Gu Jiao's ugly red-tasseled spear, but they have come to their senses now and unleashed 50% of their power.
That's considered giving the kid face.
For someone without internal strength, even one-tenth of their power is too much.
The remaining 40% were mostly venting their anger; they wanted to chop the kid into mincemeat!
But to everyone's surprise, something unexpected happened.
The kid was right in front of him, but the moment the sword fell, the other person suddenly dodged!
What incredible speed!
After Gu Jiao dodged, she fired a shot at him.
However, Sirius is Sirius, how could he be easily hurt by Gu Jiao?
He easily dodged it.
He was the fifth of the six.
He gave a cold laugh: "You do have some skill, but that's enough! Prepare to die!"
He focused his energy in his dantian and unleashed seventy percent of his power in one go.
Gu Jiao sensed a familiar aura; it turned out to be another assassin.
But they were not ordinary assassins; they seemed to have practiced some kind of technique that could conceal their aura, and at first glance, they looked like ordinary experts.
After exchanging a few blows with him, Gu Jiao had to admit that he was very strong.
She didn't have time to make detonators, and she had used up all the gunpowder she had while dealing with Prince Han.
"Liu Dong, are you sure you can handle this?" another Imperial Guard asked.
The Imperial Guard called Liu Dong looked grave; this kid was a bit difficult to deal with.
He had no choice but to use all his strength.
It's laughable that the dignified Imperial Guards of the Crown Prince's Palace were forced to use their full strength by a young man with no internal energy.
He launched a fatal attack on Gu Jiao.
His companions didn't step forward to help him because they felt it wasn't necessary; he was just a young boy, why should they all have to get involved?
*Pfft*
The sharp blade pierced his body, and everyone was stunned.
The leader's pupils contracted: "How could this be..."
Gu Jiao's red-tasseled spear pierced the heart of this Imperial Guard!
She kicked her opponent away, and as the red-tasseled spear left her body, blood splattered onto her mask.
Thanks to those Shaolin monks, her strength recovered to 40% of what it was in her previous life, so even without any auxiliary means, she was able to kill a quasi-Tianlang.
but……
There are five more to come.
Gu Jiao, slightly out of breath, asked, "Next? Who?"
She didn't say anything like "you all come at me together," because even when you're trying to be pretentious, there's a time and place.
"I'll have a go at you!" Another member of the Imperial Guard stepped forward.
Fortunately, the people she encountered were not like Marquis Xuanping; otherwise, if they had ganged up on her, she would have been dead in no time.
Gu Jiao withstood this man's attacks for thirty moves before finally stabbing him in the vital spot with a spear.
At this point, Gu Jiao had also been injured.
Her breathing gradually became erratic.
"Damn it! Attack together!" said a square-faced member of the Imperial Guard.
Gu Jiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "Hey, have you no shame? So many of you ganging up on me, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
The leader said coldly, "If I kill you, no one will laugh at me!" He then said to his companion, "Kill him! Kick him into the water! Keep his red-tasseled spear!"
It looks ugly, but it's very useful.
Gu Jiao gripped the red-tasseled spear tightly. Sure enough, every assassin couldn't resist the allure of the red-tasseled spear.
It's a pity, this red-tasseled spear was a gift from her brother, she can't just give it away!
The four of them worked together to kill Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao had fought the four of them for over a hundred moves and was covered in blood. The opponents had the advantage in both martial arts and numbers, and their injuries were not as severe as Gu Jiao's.
It appears that the four of them have the upper hand.
In truth, all four of them were quite surprised.
Where did this kid come from? How can he even fight?
They said he looked like an archer in the army camp, but he also wielded the red-tasseled spear so well. They couldn't recall any army camp in Shengdu with such a skilled young man.
More importantly, every time they thought he was about to die, he was able to get back up.
"Brother, how come he still has the strength?" a member of the Imperial Guard asked in a low voice.
Another Imperial Guard said, "Yes, brother, he took so many sword strikes from us, he should have died long ago, right?"
The leader looked at the boy, whose clothes were already soaked in blood, with a complicated expression. The boy's mask had fallen off during the fight, but his face was still obscured by the blood.
The leader suddenly felt reluctant to kill him.
"Boy, I don't care who sent you. That person has no good intentions. You are no match for any of us, yet he sent you here alone, clearly intending to send you to your death. If you are willing to pledge allegiance to our master, I can spare your life and will strive to cultivate you in the future!"
"Big Brother!" The remaining three men's expressions changed simultaneously.
"He killed Liu Dong and Zhang Qiang!" a member of the Imperial Guard exclaimed angrily.
The leader didn't reply, but stared intently at the boy who had exhausted all his strength but still refused to submit like a blood wolf: "Either die or surrender, the choice is yours."
"I choose..." Gu Jiao looked at them coldly through her blood-blurred vision, "to kill you all!"
The leader gritted his teeth and said, "It seems there's no need to hold back anymore, kill him!"
The three of them rushed towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao raised her hand and grasped the amulet around her neck.
"If you can't beat them, run! Don't take off your lucky charm, you know that!"
Gu Jiao slowly lowered her hand, her eyes fixed intently on the three people rushing towards her. She swung her red-tasseled spear and met them head-on without dodging, almost in a suicidal manner.
All three of them stared wide-eyed.
That kid!
Gu Jiao pierced the Imperial Guard on her right with her spear. The Imperial Guard on her left was separated by a person and did not harm her, but the one in the middle slashed her leg with his sword.
She kicked her opponent, used the momentum to pull out her red-tasseled spear, and then did a backflip, retreating to a place seven feet away.
This scene was completely unexpected by everyone.
They were already barely clinging to life, yet they killed another one.
The leader's murderous aura surged: "Among young people, the one with the highest martial arts skills I've ever seen is the heir of the Han family. Your current martial arts skills may not be as good as his, but your talent is definitely above his. It would be a real pity to kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wielded his long sword and slashed fiercely at Gu Jiao!
She couldn't stop that sword strike.
Even the amulet cannot be removed.
Her whole body was numb.
Xiao Heng, I still haven't found out about your background.
She lay face down, eyes open, staring blankly at the ground.
"Prepare to die—" The leader's longsword slashed towards Gu Jiao's neck.
Clang!
Suddenly, the longsword was blocked by something and flew out of his hand, embedding itself in a tree not far away. The hilt shook violently, demonstrating the immense force of the attack.
"Who!" he shouted sharply as he turned to the side.
"Tsk, a bunch of grown men ganging up to bully a little girl, have the Imperial Guards of the Crown Prince's residence become this shameless these days?"
Under the moonlight, a monk dressed in gray robes, with a string of prayer beads hanging from one hand, walked slowly and deliberately toward them.
This monk was exceptionally handsome; despite being a monk, he possessed a pair of captivating, alluring eyes.
She also has a beautiful, unforgettable beauty mark under her right eye.
