Chapter 1905: Chapter 948: Long Yi’s Return (Double Release)
“Second Protector!”
A few people’s expressions changed drastically.
Evidently, they did not expect the great Guardian of the Sword Lodge to lose to a young boy.
“I’ll handle you!” The eighth protector flew into the fray.
The first protector spoke: “Old Six, Old Five, join in as well! At this moment, there’s no point in talking about Jianghu etiquette, quickly kill him, the important thing is to get the job done!”
The three of them closed in to attack Gu Changqing.
The combined skill of the three was not below that of the Dark Soul; as they attacked together, Gu Changqing was suppressed.
His hands were already injured from beneath the cliff, and after carrying Gu Jiao climbing for so long, his physical and internal strength were severely depleted. Facing the three Dark Souls, he stood no chance of victory.
His back was slashed open by the fifth protector, his brocade clothes torn, splattering crimson blood.
In her sleep, Gu Jiao’s brow furrowed slightly.
Gu Changqing told himself he couldn’t fall; he still had to take his sister home.
“Still resisting? You’re a tough one, aren’t you!”
“Old Five, stop wasting words with him, kill him! Old Eight, cut off his retreat!”
Beset on all sides, Gu Changqing faced attacks from the sixth protector, who seized the moment to leap up, thrusting his long sword fiercely towards Gu Changqing’s back.
Plop—
The blade pierced through, from back to chest!
The sixth protector, unbelieving, looked down at the spearhead piercing through his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Sixth Brother!”
“Sixth Protector!”
In unison, the fifth and eighth protectors cried out.
Under the moonlight, Gu Jiao, who unbeknownst to them had awakened, stood cold-eyed behind the sixth protector, holding the Red-Tasseled Spear.
This scene unfolded so quickly, even the first protector and the others watching did not react in time.
They all believed that the sixth protector’s strike would surely hit Gu Changqing.
Who would have thought the sixth protector would be pierced through by someone else?
Gu Jiao drew out the Red-Tasseled Spear with a swish, blood splattering onto her cold little face.
The fierce wind from the cliff blew up, billowing her red battle tunic.
The battle attire burned like fire, as if drinking the blood of her enemies.
On the ground, amidst blowing sand and flying stones, lay a warm talisman, solitary and alone.
Gu Jiao stepped on it, her eyes filled with killing intent, sweeping sharply over everyone present.
Everyone was intimidated by her killing aura. Different from when she arrived, though she too was killing, her current demeanor carried a world-shattering dominance, as if a shura returning from Purgatory, intending to leave Cangjian Villa with no survivors, not even a blade of grass remaining.
Gu Changqing seized the opportunity, waving his sword to force the stunned fifth and eighth protectors back. He kneeled on one knee, supporting himself with the sword, and looked back at the cold-eyed Gu Jiao. His gaze swept over the talisman she stepped on and fell on her abdomen protected by armor, his fist gradually clenching.
The third protector frowned and said, “What’s wrong with her? Why does something feel off?”
The first protector’s face turned grave: “Do you notice her state… it resembles theirs when they lost control?”
The third protector’s face changed: “Could she too have been poisoned by the jasper herb?”
The first protector said coldly, “Capture her!”
The fifth protector was the first to rush over. A person poisoned by the jasper herb is not easily killed. Given this, they need not hold back—attack as hard as possible; even crippling her would be her own doing!
A surprising event occurred; Gu Jiao cut the fifth protector’s long sword in two with one strike, spun in mid-air, and her long leg slammed down, kicking the protector’s head viciously, forcing him to kneel on the ground!
“Old Five!” Everyone’s expressions changed drastically!
What terrifying speed! What terrifying power!
Old Eight attempted to sneak attack Gu Jiao, but without turning her head, she stabbed backward, directly hitting the eighth protector’s shoulder!
Gu Jiao then leveraged her spear, leaping backward, hooking her toe under the fifth protector’s chin, kicking him ruthlessly off the cliff!
The first protector was furious: “All together!”
The remaining ones, including the injured second protector, all rushed towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao stood in front of Gu Changqing, and said, word by word: “You, step aside.”
Gu Changqing’s arm trembled as he gripped his long sword: “Jiaojiao…”
Gu Jiao grabbed the injured Gu Changqing, stepped onto a rock wall, and flung him to An Guogong behind the rocks.
The battle raged fiercely, filling the sky with wind and sand, sword light and sword shadow flashing through the dark night. Gu Jiao was like a soulless killing machine, laying each protector under her Red-Tasseled Spear.
“Xuanyuan Style Eight, Nine!”
The first protector’s eyes trembled fiercely as he watched Gu Jiao using the Xuanyuan Spear Technique: “You are—”
