Chapter 1077: 521 Finished (second update)_2 Chapter 1077: 521 Finished (second update)_2 Gu Jiao’s eyes chilled.

This is…

Huangfu Zheng sneered coldly, “That’s right, it’s the Heavenly Wolf, the second one. Did you think I only had one Heavenly Wolf in my hand? Although he’s not as powerful as the former Heavenly Wolf, he’s not much inferior, and more than enough to deal with you!”

Gu Jiao was severely drained, and her breathing became somewhat difficult.

She had barely managed to kill Huangfu Zheng, and with another Heavenly Wolf, she truly had no chance of winning.

Huangfu Zheng arrogantly said, “Hand over the medicine, and I’ll leave you a whole corpse.”

“Don’t you dare hurt her!” Princess Ning An hastened towards Gu Jiao.

“Do it!” Huangfu Zheng ordered the death warrior.

The speed of the death warrior was unbelievably fast, in nearly an instant he had crossed Suo Bridge, passed Princess Ning An, and arrived behind Gu Jiao.

He clasped Gu Jiao’s neck, intending to lift her high, but before he could exert force, another robust figure darted over the bridge.

A fierce sword energy slashed at the death warrior’s back!

The death warrior had no time to dodge and endured the blow, with even his armor splitting.

At almost the same moment, Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear barred across his shoulder, and with a kick to his chest, she leveraged herself free from his grasp!

The kick did not hurt the death warrior, but being hit twice in succession, he was genuinely angered.

He raised his hand to recapture Gu Jiao, but Gu Changqing swiftly flickered in front of her, stabbing the death warrior’s wrist with his sword.

The armor on the death warrior’s wrist also split.

Gu Changqing wrapped his arm around Gu Jiao’s waist and retreated more than ten steps with a tip of his toe, gently placing his sister at the entrance of the cave.

His sword-holding hand was filled with a murderous aura, but his eyes softened with indulgence as he looked at Gu Jiao, “Can you still walk? Cross the bridge first and wait for me on the other side.”

Gu Jiao nodded.

The soldiers in the cave were no threat; they had been scared silly by Gu Jiao’s spearhead bursting one of their heads, and hardly anyone dared to stop her.

Gu Jiao and Princess Ning An, among a few others, stepped onto Suo Bridge.

“Stop them!” Huangfu Zheng roared.

Gu Changqing held his long sword at the cave’s entrance, coldly eyeing the death warrior charging toward him, and told Gu Jiao, “Cross the bridge, don’t look back.”

“Okay.”

She didn’t look back.

Gu Jiao led the way across the bridge.

Princess Ning An and Lianlian followed closely behind.

Medical Officer was bringing up the rear.

But he was really scared of heights!

This time it wasn’t some ancient well beneath his feet, but a bottomless abyss!

And the suspension bridge… it swayed!

Wuwuwu!

This was too much for him!

“They’re coming to kill us!” Gu Jiao said.

“Aaaah!” The Medical Officer waved his arms frantically and scurried across at once, the first to reach the opposite cliff!

The sounds of fighting continued behind them, and the cold wind blew from the cave on the other side toward the direction of Suo Bridge. Gu Jiao smelled the thick scent of blood, unsure if it belonged to the death warrior or to Gu Changqing.

She was obedient.

She didn’t turn around.

The whole group crossed Suo Bridge and entered the cave on the other side of the cliff.

Snow began to fall again in the sky; the commotion at the end of the bridge became invisible to them, though they could still hear the sound of bones breaking, blades snapping…

Then, they heard footsteps on Suo Bridge.

The footsteps hurried closer, carrying a strong scent of blood and killing intent!

Then a loud thud!

The bridge behind them had been severed!

Gu Jiao swiftly turned around.

The figure bearing the scent of blood and killing intent enveloped her in an instant, gently embracing her, yet kept his bloodied arm from touching her, “Didn’t I tell you not to look back? You don’t listen at all.”

His killing intent dissipated in that moment.

Gu Jiao’s little head leaned against his chest, and she raised a finger pointing behind her, “That’s behind us, I didn’t turn around.”

Gu Changqing couldn’t help but chuckle, and his lips curled, “Sophistry.”

Gu Jiao sniffled, “You’re hurt.”

Gu Changqing said, “No, it’s his blood.”

“Is he dead?” Gu Jiao asked.

“Mmm.”

He would not let off anyone who bullied his sister.

Snow swirled into the cave, the death warrior with a huge broken icicle piercing his chest, and beside him, the prince consort stabbed in the heart with a sword, turned his head, looking towards the cave on the opposite side of Suo Bridge.

It was not only Gu Jiao who did not turn back.

Ning An also hadn’t turned back even once.

…

Princess Ning An had only seen half of the map; the rest of their journey depended on their own exploration.

They passed through countless caves in the mountains, and toward the end, even they were unsure of their location.

Gu Changqing carried Gu Jiao on his back, the Red-Tasseled Spear hanging in front of him.
