On the other hand, Gu Jiao and Chang Jing were still tangled in a fight. Chang Jing’s martial arts skills were simply too high while Gu Jiao had recovered only 30% of her original strength from previous life, so there was really no way for her to defeat this guy!
Suddenly, Gu Jiao caught a glimpse of the marbles in his pocket. She remembered that when she first met him, he seemed to be looking for marbles on the ground.
Gu Jiao"s eyes flashed and she threw a knee strike at his lower abdomen. Chang Jing instinctively made a move to block her attack. Gu Jiao then freed up a hand and ripped off his coat pocket.
His marbles rolled all over the ground.
Chang Jing: My marbles!
Chang Jing ignored Gu Jiao and went to pick up his scattered marbles.
Gu Jiao hurriedly ran to the direction where Old Chief and Grandaunt had left.
It was as though a hole was suddenly torn in the sky as the torrential rain came pouring down.
The elderly woman and Old Chief were separated by the black-clad men. The black-clad men didn"t dare to be rough with the elderly woman and just tried their best to restrain her and pull her into the carriage. On the other hand, they were not so polite to Old Chief.
Old Chief was kicked to the ground, it was so painful that he could hardly stand up again.
"Stop them!" The elderly woman told Grand Preceptor Zhuang.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang turned a deaf ear to her, "Please get in the carriage, Empress Dowager!"
One of the black-clad men pulled out his sword and was about to slash it at Old Chief"s neck.
Suddenly, a silver needle penetrated through the thick curtain of rain and abruptly stabbed the black-clad man in the wrist!
The black-clad man only felt a stinging pain in his wrist as his sword fell to the ground.
After the rest saw this scene, they swiftly turned their heads to where Gu Jiao was. The next moment, they brandished their swords, wanting to cut Gu Jiao.
The heavy rain poured down unabated.
Gu Jiao shuttled through the rain of swords as several men tried to besiege and attack her. She flew up and pressed down the head of one of the enemies with great force so that his torso bent down, then she rolled over on his back while conveniently pulling out the dagger at his waist, using it to cut another long sword swinging at her with one blow!
With a blade in hand, she landed to the ground on one knee, and her eyes were like torches as her whole body exuded a terrifying murderous aura!
The skills of these few people couldn’t be compared to Chang Jing"s. Pretty soon, she fought her way out of the besiegement and came behind the elderly woman.
However, when she tried to hold the elderly woman"s hand, one of the black-clad men placed the blade of his sword around Old Chief"s neck and threatened, "Don"t move! Otherwise I"ll kill him!"
Without warning, Gu Jiao violently flung the dagger she was holding which smashed the sword in the man"s hand, then she quickly charged at him, caught the dagger that was falling midair, and kicked the other party to his knees. Grabbing the man’s hair, she cut his throat with a single slash!
Gu Jiao had been here for so long and all this time, she had been doing her best to restrain her tendencies. She never used weapons to harm anyone’s life, only using her silver needles that wouldn’t make her see any blood, because blood would excite her.
Her G.o.dfather once said that she was a perfect killing tool.
Probably so.
In fact, she started doing surgery not for the sake of saving people"s lives, but for her own spiritual practice.
She wanted to control her violent tendencies.
At the moment, however, the blade in her hand had cut through another person"s flesh, and fine blood dripped down from the blade along with the rain.
The violent factors within Gu jiao’s body began to get restless, and her hand clenching the dagger began to tremble.
The moment she killed one, she wouldn’t stop until she killed the last person.
“JiaoJiao.”
Suddenly, the elderly woman took her hand, and her wrinkly palm which was tarnished by age covered the back of her tender hand, "JiaoJiao, be good, come over to Grandaunt."
The voice was clearly beside her ear, but it seemed to be coming from the surface of the water, echoing in a languid manner.
“JiaoJiao.”
“JiaoJiao.”
The elderly woman called out to her.
Gu Jiao finally managed to suppress the violence surging in her blood, and those seemingly bloodshot eyes started to recover to normal bit by bit. She turned her head and dropped the dagger in her hand, saying, "Grandaunt, I"ll take you home."
The elderly woman nodded, "Okay."
Grand Preceptor Zhuang was so shocked and petrified by Gu Jiao"s murderous aura that he forgot to speak out to stop her.
The rest of the black-clad men looked at Gu Jiao with fear, pointing a sword at her, but also carefully avoiding her.
Her strength didn’t stem from her skills alone, but also from that terrifying murderous aura that wouldn’t spare anyone in the world, which was simply chilling to the bones.
Therefore, even though Gu Jiao was with the elderly woman right now and obediently holding the elderly woman’s hand, none of them dared to do anything rashly.
What no one expected was that an accident would occur as soon as they turned to leave. It was raining too heavily, and a dangerously ramshackle building in the alley was not able to withstand the torrential downpour. The beam of the building broke with a snap, and the huge roof tilted down, slamming down on Gu Jiao and the elderly woman.
It all happened so fast that Old Chief didn"t have time to jump on them and knock them out of the way.
Gu Jiao’s ears twitched and she looked up. The huge roof came crashing at them like a glacier, which even she couldn"t stop. Gu Jiao quickly wrapped Grandaunt’s waist with one hand while her other hand protected her head. The two of them fell to the ground with Gu Jiao’s elbow hitting the hard ground.
She shielded Grandaunt under her body.
The elderly woman watched the roof press against Gu Jiao. She couldn"t push Gu Jiao away, so she reached out to protect Gu Jiao"s head instead.
As she tried to protect Gu Jiao"s head, she left her own head unprotected, and a plank managed to slam into her forehead!
“Empress Dowager——”
“Zhuang Jinse——”
There was a sharp pain in her head, as though the depths of her mind had split open, and countless unfamiliar yet familiar scenes rushed out to form different memories.
"Jinse, come tell Dad, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a bird!"
"Why a bird?"
"So that I can fly! Then I won"t have to be stuck in the house all day!"
"Jinse, from today on, you are the Empress of the State of Zhao."
"Zhen and Empress will live a long and happy life together forever."
"His Majesty is resting at the Wanfu Palace. Her Majesty the Empress doesn"t have to wait for His Majesty to enjoy viewing the moon. His Majesty will come again at the beginning of next month."
"Jinse… Have you really… ever loved me in your life?"
"Long live the Empress Dowager, a thousand times, a thousand years!"Raz P."s Thoughts
