The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1400 - 1400 680 American Monk Arrives (Second Update)

Chapter 1400: 680 American Monk Arrives (Second Update) Chapter 1400: 680 American Monk Arrives (Second Update) Just an archer daring to stand up to the Imperial Guard of the prince’s estate!

He really doesn’t know his own strength!

The leader leaped forward, brandishing the long sword in his hand, and chopped fiercely downwards at Gu Jiao’s head!

“With such a short distance, let’s see how you can shoot now!”

Gu Jiao didn’t choose to dodge, allowing Mama to take the hit.

But if he thought Gu Jiao could only shoot arrows, he was sorely mistaken.

Gu Jiao watched him calmly.

He was about to split her in two, so why was this lad still so calm?

Gu Jiao’s calmness wasn’t due to underestimating the enemy; in fact, the martial skills of these men were quite strong, each nearly as powerful as a ‘Sky Wolf’.

She had never tried to deal with six ‘Sky Wolves’ at once.

But she wouldn’t let herself panic.

Fight when it’s time to fight, kill when it’s time to kill, take the formidable opponents seriously, and the weaker ones casually. In the end, there was no way back.

As the sword energy approached, her hair and the hem of her attire fluttered backward.

She pulled out the Red-Tasseled Spear from behind and with one move, blocked the opponent’s attack!

The sword energy shattered the white cloth wrapping the Red-Tasseled Spear, revealing the small braids at the spearhead and the large safflowers strewn along the shaft.

The leader’s eyes were nearly blinded by the flash, and his breath hitched!

What the hell is this!

Gu Jiao swung her spear, striking at his waist!

“Damn it!”

He was sent flying!

It wasn’t that he couldn’t dodge or catch it, but rather that the Red-Tasseled Spear was so ugly. He had never seen such an ugly weapon in all his years of martial arts training!

Before hitting the ground, he stabilized himself with a flip using his long sword.

“Big brother!”

The remaining men gathered around.

The leader looked coldly at Gu Jiao and said, “Find a way across, even if you have to swim for it! I can handle this kid!”

“Yes, big brother!”

The men responded in unison.

They could see that this lad’s strength and tenacity came from his body, without a hint of inner power. Such a person, no matter how strong their moves, wouldn’t last ten moves against any of them.

The big brother was more than capable of handling her!

The men began walking forward.

However, Gu Jiao spurred Mama and charged in front of the men, braced the Red-Tasseled Spear against the ground, leveraged a backflip, and landed right in front of them!

Holding the Red-Tasseled Spear, she stood unassailably: “Today, no one shall pass!”

An Imperial Guard said, “Big talk, take this!”

He slashed his sword towards Gu Jiao.

Just now, they had indeed been struck dumb by the ugliness of Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear, but now they had regained their composure, and he unleashed fifty percent of his power.

That was already giving the lad face.

For someone without inner power, even one percent of strength was too much.

The remaining forty percent was more to vent his anger; he intended to chop this kid into mincemeat!

But, unexpectedly, something unforeseen happened.

The lad was right in front of his eyes, yet just as the sword was about to land, the opponent suddenly dodged!

Such fast movements!

After Gu Jiao dodged, she thrust her spear at him.

However, a Sky Wolf is a Sky Wolf for a reason; how could he possibly be easily hurt by Gu Jiao?

He easily dodged as well.

He ranked fifth among the six men.

He sneered coldly: “You do have some skills, but this is where it ends! Die!”

He anchored his breath in his Elixir Field and suddenly exerted seventy percent of his power.

Gu Jiao sensed a familiar aura; turns out, they were also suicide soldiers.

But these were not ordinary suicide soldiers; they seemed to have trained in some sort of technique that could conceal their energy, appearing at first glance like typical experts.

After exchanging a few moves with him, Gu Jiao had to admit that the opponent was formidable.

She had no time to make fuse cords, and the black gunpowder she used against the Han family heir was also spent.

“Liu Dong, can you handle it or not?” another Imperial Guard said.

The one called Liu Dong had a serious expression; this kid was difficult to deal with.

He had to use his full strength now.

It was laughable to say it out loud; the grand Imperial Guard of the prince’s estate was forced to use all his strength by a young man without inner power.

He launched a deadly attack at Gu Jiao.

His companions didn’t step forward to help him; they thought it unnecessary. After all, it was just a young boy, was there a need for them to act collectively?

Whoosh—

The sharp blade pierced flesh, and everyone was stunned.

The leader’s pupils contracted: “How could this be…”

Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear pierced through the heart of this brocaded guard!

She kicked the opponent away, and as the Red-Tasseled Spear left the body, blood splattered onto her mask.

Thanks to those few Shaolin Warrior Monks, her strength had recovered to forty percent of her previous life’s, so she was able to kill a quasi-Tianlang even without any aid.

But…

There were still five more.

Gu Jiao took a short breath, “Next, who?”

She didn’t say they could come at her all at once. Even putting on airs should fit the occasion.

“I’ll take you on!” Another brocaded guard stepped forward.

Fortunately, the men she encountered weren’t of the same ilk as the Marquis of Xuanping; else, if they had ganged up on her, she would’ve been done for in minutes.

Gu Jiao held out for thirty moves against this man, finally piercing his vital point with a single spear thrust.

By that time, Gu Jiao too had sustained injuries.

Her breathing gradually became more disorderly.

“Damn it! Attack together!” a brocaded guard with a square face commanded.

Gu Jiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: “Hey, have you no shame? So many of you against one of me, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

The leader spoke coldly, “No one laughs at the dead!” He said to his companions, “Kill him! Throw him into the water! But leave that Red-Tasseled Spear behind!”

It looked ugly but was very effective.

Gu Jiao gripped her Red-Tasseled Spear tightly, indeed, every martyr couldn’t escape its allure.

What a pity, the Red-Tasseled Spear was her brother’s, she could not willingly relinquish it!

The four men joined forces to kill Gu Jiao. After exchanging over a hundred moves, her body was already covered in bloodstains. The opposition had the advantage in both martial skills and numbers, and their injuries weren’t as severe as Gu Jiao’s.

It seemed as though the four had the upper hand.

In reality, all four of them were extremely surprised inside.

Where did this kid come from? How could he still fight?

To say he was like an archer from the military camp, but he wielded the Red-Tasseled Spear so skillfully; they didn’t remember any military camp in Shengdu that had such a formidable youth.

What was more important was that every time they thought he was done for, he managed to stand up again.

“Big brother, how does he still have the strength?” one of the brocaded guards asked softly.

Another said, “Yeah, big brother, he’s taken so much of our sword energy, shouldn’t he be out of breath and dead by now?”

The leader looked at the blood-drenched youth with a complex expression. The young master’s mask had fallen off in the fight, but his face was still indiscernible, covered in blood.

The leader suddenly found it hard to bring himself to kill the young master.

“Kid, I don’t care who sent you, but that person clearly had no good intentions. You’re no match for us, yet he sent you here alone, obviously to send you to your death. If you’re willing to join our young master, I can spare your life and work hard to cultivate your abilities in the future!”

“Big brother!” The other three unexpectedly changed their expressions.

“He killed Liu Dong and Zhang Qiang!” One of the brocaded guards accused bitterly.

The leader didn’t respond, instead staring directly at the youthful blood wolf who had exhausted all his strength yet remained unyielding, “Either die or submit, the choice is yours.”

“I choose…” Gu Jiao, through her blood-blurred vision, stared coldly at them, “to kill you all!”

The leader clenched his teeth, “It seems there’s no need to hold back anymore, kill him!”

The three charged at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao reached up to grasp the amulet around her neck.

“Run if you can’t beat them! Don’t you dare take off the amulet, do you understand?”

Gu Jiao slowly lowered her hand, her gaze burning like torches at the three men rushing toward her. She swung her Red-Tasseled Spear, meeting their charge without dodging, in an almost suicidal manner.

The eyes of the three widened in shock.

This kid!

Gu Jiao’s spear pierced through the brocaded guard to her right, the one on the left couldn’t harm her because they were separated by another person, but the one in the middle managed to slash her leg.

With a kick, she struck her opponent, using the momentum to pull out the Red-Tasseled Spear, and backflipped to a spot seven feet away.

This turn of events was unforeseen by everyone.

Clearly struggling on her last breaths, she had killed yet another.

The leader’s killing intent surged: “Among the youths, the most skilled in martial arts I’ve seen is the Han Family heir. Your skills might not be as good as his yet, but your talent is definitely above his. What a pity to have to kill you!”

He finished speaking and, brandishing his long sword, slashed viciously at Gu Jiao!

She couldn’t parry this sword strike.

Nor could she remove the amulet.

Her whole body was numb.

Xiao Hen, I still haven’t asked about your past.

She faced down, eyes open and staring straight ahead, as she collapsed onto the ground.

“Die—” The leader’s long sword chopped towards Gu Jiao’s neck.

Clang!

The sword was suddenly blocked by something, causing it to fly out of hand and stick in a nearby tree trunk, the handle quivering to show the strength behind the strike.

“Who!” He shouted, spinning around.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. A group of skilled fighters ganging up on a girl, have the brocaded guards of the Crown Prince’s residence lost all their shame?”

In the moonlit night, a monk dressed in grey robes, holding a string of Buddha Beads, walked toward them slowly and steadily.

This monk was quite handsome, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that could bewitch the heart, despite being a monk.

Under his right eye was a memorable tear mole.
