The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1059 - 1059 514 Killing the Celestial Wolf (Second Update)

Chapter 1059: 514 Killing the Celestial Wolf (Second Update) Chapter 1059: 514 Killing the Celestial Wolf (Second Update) It’s impossible to fight a master like Tianlang with brute force. Gu Jiao had only recovered about twenty to thirty percent of her strength and couldn’t even defeat the Dragon Shadow Guard, let alone Tianlang.

She had to outwit him.

However, Gu Jiao hadn’t expected Tianlang’s vigilance to be so high. This was not the most advantageous terrain in her plan. She had studied the map of Lingguan City and knew that three miles further in this direction was a canyon.

That canyon was where she intended to battle Tianlang.

Unfortunately, Tianlang had discovered her too early.

The current geographical conditions were somewhat disadvantageous for Gu Jiao—too open, too suitable for Tianlang to slaughter her, the little cub.

Tianlang didn’t even bother to ask who Gu Jiao was before he launched his second killing move at her.

Gu Jiao wasn’t sure if he couldn’t speak or simply couldn’t be bothered to, his gaze filled with disdain.

Indeed, with his skills, he was a mature alpha wolf, and Gu Jiao was at best a lone wolf’s cub.

What was there to fear?

Tianlang’s second move was not directed at Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear. Since he took a liking to the weapon, he wouldn’t damage it; instead, he aimed straight for Gu Jiao’s neck, intending to sever her head!

Such a method was indeed too arrogant!

Gu Jiao parried with her spear, blocking his attack for the second time!

Tianlang’s cold gaze narrowed slightly, evidently not expecting this little cub to have some skills.

Gu Jiao always remembered the words her adoptive father had told her, the best defense is offense. She couldn’t just stand there waiting for Tianlang to come and beat her; she also had to take swings at Tianlang.

She swung her right hand wielding the Red-Tasseled Spear at Tianlang’s face and with her left hand stealthily grasped the syringe hidden in her sleeve.

Her thumb pushed off the cap, and as she neared Tianlang, she thrust the needle towards Tianlang’s neck with force!

Tianlang was fully armed, with only his neck, hands, and eyes exposed, and obviously, the neck was the easiest target.

During this period, Gu Jiao’s strength had not stopped recovering, and she had improved a lot since her time in Capital City. Her hand movements were so fast they seemed to leave only afterimages.

Nobody knew that she was just as dexterous with her left hand as she was with her right. She could use either hand, and her habit was whatever she wanted others to see.

It must be said, her hands were too fast, so fast that Tianlang hadn’t anticipated her using a hidden weapon on him.

But Tianlang was no pushover.

The moment the needle pierced his neck, he reacted in time, slapping Gu Jiao and sending her flying!

Gu Jiao slid backward for dozens of steps on the snowfield, stopping only when she thrust the Red-Tasseled Spear deep into the snow!

The syringe was also knocked away.

What a pity.

That was high-quality anesthetic.

Fighting was one thing, but wasting medicine was unacceptable.

Gu Jiao was furious.

Gasping for breath, she stood up, walked over to pick up the syringe that had been knocked away, and attacked Tianlang once more!

No fancy moves.

Once again, Tianlang sent both Gu Jiao and the syringe flying.

This time, Gu Jiao wasn’t as lucky as the first; she fell heavily into the snowfield and couldn’t get up for a while.

Thinking she was dead, Tianlang came over to collect his trophy—the Red-Tasseled Spear.

But Gu Jiao, propping herself up with her hands on the icy ground and with the eyes of a fierce little beast, snatched up the syringe from the snowfield and stabbed at Tianlang with relentless determination!

Tianlang was truly annoyed; after sending Gu Jiao flying once more, he decided to crush the hidden weapon first, then crush Gu Jiao’s head, preferably so that her brains would spray out everywhere!

Gu Jiao lay in the snowfield next to the Red-Tasseled Spear. She clutched her chest, suppressing the taste of blood rising in her throat, and stared coldly at Tianlang.

Tianlang moved to the other side and stomped fiercely on the syringe!

However, in that instant, something incredible happened.

The moment the syringe shattered, Tianlang was blown away by the explosion that erupted beneath his feet!

Gu Jiao’s lips curved into a cold smile.

You really thought it was still just a syringe?

Ever heard of a detonator?

Making a detonator isn’t easy, and it’s hard to keep stable because it explodes with any vibration. If it vibrated before leaving her hand, Gu Jiao could have been the first to die.

Furthermore, the detonator she made was different from those in her previous life, starting with its reduced power as it was created from nitroglycerine extracted from the medicine in her first aid kit. The purity wasn’t likely to be sufficient, and there wasn’t much of it.

Just this one.

She had never tested its power herself.

But judging by the spattered blood on Tianlang’s body, it seemed the power was quite sufficient.

Stronger than a black fire bead.

Tianlang lay in the snowfield, his armor shattered and helmet blown away. It was unclear where he was injured, but he was covered in blood.

He tried to move, but the power of the makeshift detonator was probably a bit too much for him; slightly dazed, he trembled and couldn’t get up for a long while.

Very well, while you’re ill, I shall take your life!

Gu Jiao grabbed the Red-Tasseled Spear and, enduring the soreness throughout her body, walked toward the Sky Wolf.

She had considered using a thunder tube directly against the Sky Wolf, but she wasn’t sure if he would choose to dodge; if he did intend to avoid it, she wouldn’t be able to hit him no matter what.

So she could only lure him into destroying the thunder tube himself.

To get him hooked, Gu Jiao had taken so many hits with the syringe recklessly, and by now, she was genuinely a bit weak.

Gu Jiao walked up to the Sky Wolf, panting heavily and looked at him, “But… the strength to kill you… I still have that.”

With that, she clenched her teeth, raised the Red-Tasseled Spear, and plunged it fiercely toward the Sky Wolf’s heart!

It happened in the blink of an eye; the Sky Wolf, who had already been dizzy from the blast, suddenly caught Gu Jiao’s long spear by pure instinct!

He yanked it downward fiercely!

Gu Jiao’s body, already weak, almost uncontrollably lurched forward.

The Sky Wolf raised his other hand and clutched Gu Jiao’s throat.

His bloodshot eyes made him look like a ferocious beast.

But he had forgotten that Gu Jiao was a fierce little beast herself!

Gu Jiao didn’t even try to grab his hand around her neck but instead, with a backhand motion, got hold of the real syringe.

With a speed faster than a bolt of lightning, she thrust it into his shoulder!

This time, it wasn’t an anesthetic.

It was a neurotoxin!

Able to paralyze the nervous system almost instantly, causing muscle paralysis, limb numbness, and gradually losing the ability to breathe autonomously, ultimately leading to asphyxiation and death.

This was a special neurotoxin from the Research Institute, several times more potent than similar neurotoxins available in the market. Ordinary people would be affected in three seconds, but he was an expert – Gu Jiao gave him ten seconds.

However, ten seconds had passed.

He was still standing stubbornly strong!

The force of his grip around Gu Jiao’s neck did not weaken in the slightest.

Because of his injuries, he couldn’t exert his original strength, but even so, if he kept choking her like this, Gu Jiao would suffocate.

There was only one dose of this drug, and once used up, there was none left.

Besides, even if there were more, Gu Jiao couldn’t reach them now.

Gu Jiao decided to gouge his eyeballs directly, but unexpectedly, he chose to let go of her Red-Tasseled Spear and swiftly struck Gu Jiao’s acupoint with his blood-drenched hand.

Gu Jiao’s hand targeting his eyes froze mid-air.

A single sentence drifted through Gu Jiao’s mind.

It’s over.

My fate is in his hands now.

The Sky Wolf threw Gu Jiao onto the snowfield; he didn’t reach for the Red-Tasseled Spear on the ground but pulled out a dagger from his boot instead.

The neurotoxin started to take effect, and Gu Jiao’s eyeballs swiveled, seeing his hand holding the dagger trembling uncontrollably.

He might lack the strength to stab himself now.

The Sky Wolf indeed couldn’t stab, but he could slit a throat.

With the dagger sharp enough to slice through iron and hair, he sat down beside Gu Jiao, shaking as he aimed the dagger at her neck.

Gu Jiao felt an intense chill on her delicate neck.

The blade was about to slice open her tender neck.

However, at that moment, the neurotoxin in the Sky Wolf’s body finally exerted its full effect; his hand shook, the dagger dropped beside Gu Jiao’s ear, and he too, knelt and fell onto Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao: “…”

The Sky Wolf lay across Gu Jiao’s body, his head facing down and touching the snowfield.

Quite heavy.

Unbeknownst to when, the sky began to sprinkle snowflakes again – not very large, but mixed with the howling northern winds, they were bitterly cold, like a knife slicing the skin upon contact.

Being struck on an acupoint, Gu Jiao lay in the snowfield, unable to move.

The neurotoxin paralyzed the Sky Wolf’s breathing, and he ultimately turned into a cold corpse.

Yet Gu Jiao’s body also began to stiffen gradually.

She watched the snowflakes in the sky, gazed at the obscure and boundless heavens, and listened to the piercing wind whistling past her ears, slowly freezing until she lost all sensation.

It must be said that the Prince Consort chose his path extremely well; besides her, no one else found it.

In the vast expanse of snow, endless and boundless, who could see those two tiny figures lying in the snowfield?

Time was not known how much had passed when the light snow turned into a heavy snowfall.

Blood and scent on the ground were concealed by the sweeping snowflakes, and a thin layer of snow had also covered Gu Jiao and the Sky Wolf.
