How dare a mere archer challenge the embroidered-uniform guards of the Crown Prince Estate!
Such arrogance!
The leader leaped up, brandishing his longsword, and slashed down fiercely at Gu Jiao"s head!
"At such a close range, let"s see how you can shoot an arrow!"
Gu Jiao didn"t choose to dodge, and instead let the horse bear the blow.
But if he thought Gu Jiao only knew how to shoot arrows, he was gravely mistaken.
Gu Jiao watched him calmly.
He was about to be cut in half, yet this kid remained so composed?
Gu Jiao"s calmness wasn"t due to underestimating his opponents. In fact, these few individuals were really skilled, each close to the strength of a Tian Lang.
She had never tried to deal with six "Tian Langs" at once.
But she wouldn"t let herself panic.
If a fight was necessary, she would fight. If killing was necessary, she would kill. Against powerful opponents, she would fight seriously; against weaker ones, she would fight perfunctorily. There was no retreat.
As the sword energy came at her, her long hair and the hem of her clothes fluttered backwards.
She drew the red-ta.s.seled spear from behind her and used it to block the attack!
The sword energy shattered the white cloth covering the red-ta.s.sel spear, revealing the braids on the spearhead and the big red flowers all over the spear shaft.
The leader"s eyes nearly went blind from the glaring sight, and his breath caught for a moment!
What the h.e.l.l!
Gu Jiao swung the spear and hit him in the waist!
"d.a.m.nit!"
He was directly knocked flying!
It wasn’t that he couldn’t dodge or defend, but that the red-ta.s.seled spear was so ugly. After all these years of practicing martial arts, he had never seen such an ugly weapon!
Before he hit the ground, he used his longsword to stabilize himself with a flip!
"Leader!"
The remaining black-clad men gathered around.
The leader coldly looked at Gu Jiao as he said to them, “Find a way to get to the other side. Even if you have to swim, get through! I can handle this kid myself!”
"Yes, leader!"
The others replied in unison.
They could actually tell that this kid relied solely on his physical strength and toughness, with no internal force at all. No matter how strong his moves were, he definitely wouldn’t last more than ten moves against any one of them.
Their leader could easily deal with her!
The few of them moved forward.
Gu Jiao, however, spurred her horse to the front of the group. With the red-ta.s.seled spear planted on the ground, she used it to propel herself into a leap, landing right in front of them!
Holding the red-ta.s.sel spear, she declared, "Today, no one is getting past!"
One of the embroidered-uniform guards said, "Quite a big talker. Take this!"
He slashed at Gu Jiao with his sword.
Earlier, they had indeed been put off by the ugliness of Gu Jiao"s red-ta.s.seled spear, but now they were back to their senses, and he even used fifty percent of his strength.
This was showing some respect to this kid.
To someone without internal force, even ten percent of his power was too much.
The additional forty percent was more about venting his anger; he wanted to turn this kid into minced meat!
But unexpectedly, something surprising happened.
Even though the kid was right in front of him, he managed to instantly dodge in the moment the sword came down!
Such speed!
After Gu Jiao evaded, Gu Jiao counterattacked by lunging at him with her spear.
However, a Tian Lang was a Tian Lang; how could he be easily injured by Gu Jiao?
He easily dodged the attack.
He was ranked fifth among the six of them.
He sneered coldly, “You do have some skill, but it ends here! Prepare to die!”
He gathered his internal force in his dantian and unleashed seventy percent of his strength.
Gu Jiao sensed a familiar aura and realized that he was also a death warrior.
But he wasn’t just any death warrior. They seemed to have practiced a technique that could conceal their aura, making them appear like ordinary experts at first glance.
After exchanging a few moves with him, Gu Jiao had to admit that his strength was very formidable.
She didn’t have time to make any more black gunpowder b.a.l.l.s, and all the black gunpowder b.a.l.l.s she had made prior were used up dealing with Han shizi.
“Liu Dong, can you really handle this?” Another embroidered-uniform guard asked.
The embroidered-uniform guard called Liu Dong looked serious. This kid was proving to be quite a challenge.
He had no choice but to use his full strength.
It was a bit of a joke to say it out loud. To think a prestigious embroidered-uniform guard from the Crown Prince Estate was actually being forced to use full strength against a youth with no internal force.
He launched a deadly attack on Gu Jiao.
His companions didn’t step in to help, thinking it was unnecessary——after all, it was just a teenage boy. Did they really need to mobilize the entire group?
Swoosh——
There was the sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh, and everyone was stunned.
The leader’s pupils contracted, “How could this…”
Gu Jiao’s red-ta.s.seled spear had pierced the heart of the embroidered-uniform guard!
She kicked the opponent away, and as the spear left the body, blood splattered onto her mask.
Thanks to those Shaolin monks, her strength had recovered to about forty percent of her past self. Even without any additional tools, she was able to kill a quasi-Tian Lang.
But...
There were still five more to go.
Gu Jiao took a slight breath and said, “Next. Who’s up?”
She didn’t make any grand statements like having them all come at her at once; after all, even pretending to be all high and mighty had to fit the occasion.
“I’ll deal with you!” Another embroidered-uniform guard stepped forward.
Fortunately, these people weren’t like Marquis Xuanping. After all, if they all ganged up on her, she would have been finished in no time.
Gu Jiao managed to hold out for thirty moves against this person before finally stabbing him in a vital spot.
By this point, Gu Jiao had also been injured.
Her breath was becoming increasingly irregular.
“d.a.m.n it! Let’s all get him together!” said an embroidered-uniform guard with a square face.
Gu Jiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, “Hey, don’t you have any shame? So many of you ganging up on one person, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
The leader replied coldly, “No one will laugh if you’re dead!” He then instructed his companions, “Kill him! Throw him into the water! Keep his red-ta.s.seled spear!”
It looked ugly but was very useful.
Gu Jiao tightened her grip on the red-ta.s.seled spear. Sure enough, no death warrior could escape the allure of the red-ta.s.seled spear.
Unfortunately, this red-ta.s.seled spear was a gift from her sworn brother, and she couldn’t just hand it over!Raz P."s Thoughts

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don"t abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn"t finished his lines yet though…
