Chapter 906: 417 Slaughter in All Directions (2nd update)_2 Chapter 906: 417 Slaughter in All Directions (2nd update)_2 Yuan Tang had not expected that before he could catch his breath, half of the assassins opposite him had fallen.

Impossible?

Could this girl really fight like that?

Gu Jiao was using a stick, no blood was shed, only knocking people unconscious and toppling them, using the moves old Marquis taught her before he left.

She hadn’t expected them to be so effective.

The old man was pretty formidable.

She was formidable too.

“Wow, at this rate, do I even need to lift a finger?” Yuan Tang crossed his arms, feeling that this girl could probably take down everyone by herself.

The very next second, Yuan Tang realized he had celebrated too soon.

“Stop! Or I’ll kill him!”

Along with a sharp and fierce shout, a masked man in black, holding a sword to Liu Yisheng’s neck, stepped forward.

Yuan Tang’s eyes darkened.

Cousin!

Gu Jiao flung one of the men in black she had in hand and looked indifferently towards Liu Yisheng and the masked man, a dangerous glint flashing through her eyes.

“Let him go,” Gu Jiao said.

Her tone left no room for doubt.

The man in black was startled by the powerful aura emitted by such a young girl, but it was only for a moment.

With a cold voice he said, “You dared injure so many of my brothers, quite bold! Hand over that lad, leave behind one of your hands, and we’ll call it even.”

Liu Yisheng, expressionless, said, “If it were you captured today, I would not make a move.”

“Shut up, brat!” The masked man’s sword suddenly inched closer to Liu Yisheng’s neck, the blade pressing against his fair skin.

Gu Jiao’s gaze turned icy, “If you dare harm a single hair on his head, I’ll take your life!”

Liu Yisheng and Yuan Tang were both taken aback.

Neither had expected Gu Jiao to say such a thing.

A complex emotion flickered through Liu Yisheng’s eyes.

He looked at Gu Jiao, and Gu Jiao also looked back at him.

Liu Yisheng closed his eyes without hesitation.

Meanwhile, with a flick of her arm, Gu Jiao slipped a dagger into her sleeve. No one saw how she moved, and by the time they realized it, she had already shot the dagger fiercely!

The masked man saw the dagger about to hit his forehead and hurriedly waved his sword to block. The dagger was deflected, and Liu Yisheng took the opportunity to escape!

“Damn it!” he cursed through clenched teeth.

Yuan Tang was a bit dumbfounded. What had just happened? Did that girl suddenly make a move, or did she give a signal to his cousin?

Otherwise, why would his cousin close his eyes?

Come to think of it, wasn’t his cousin afraid that the girl would miss?

Yuan Tang was jealous!

His cousin hadn’t trusted him like that!

Liu Yisheng quickly approached them, and as the masked man was about to strike Liu Yisheng’s back with a knife, he was forced back several steps by a black fire bead thrown by Gu Jiao!

Of course, he knew the power of that thing; several of his brothers had been injured by it!

Gu Jiao also hurried over to meet Liu Yisheng.

“Are you okay?” asked Gu Jiao.

“I’m not…” Liu Yisheng began but then suddenly reached out, pulling Gu Jiao into his arms, with his other hand behind her head for protection.

A slash of sword light came down, and a segment of Liu Yisheng’s little finger flew off.

“Cousin!” Yuan Tang cried out in shock!

Scalding blood splattered onto Gu Jiao’s neck. She grabbed Liu Yisheng’s right hand and saw the bleeding wound where his little finger had been. A cold frost seemed to sweep through her eyes in that instant!

In that moment, everyone felt the atmosphere around Gu Jiao change.

It was as if… the fight just now had been merely casual, and she had not yet become truly angry. But now, it seemed like every strand of her hair was about to explode!

Gu Jiao wasn’t entirely sure what the dream about returning to the Marquis Residence signified; she only knew that she was increasingly unable to separate herself from the ‘her’ in the dream.

Liu Yisheng was the one who would bury her body if she were to die; he was the person she had to protect in this lifetime.

Whether this intense emotion came from her current self or the ‘her’ in the dream, all she knew was that a voice in her head was telling her—she would not allow anyone to harm him.

Gu Jiao swiftly tore a piece of her skirt to bandage Liu Yisheng’s wound. Then she drew the dagger from her waist.

Everyone was intimidated by her sudden burst of aura and killing intent, so much so that they watched her bandage the wound without intervening.

By the time Gu Jiao made her move, everyone finally started to react, but it was already too late.

Gu Jiao strode forward in two or three steps, throwing her dagger into the air, snatching it as it fell, and in the moment she landed, her dagger plunged fiercely into the heart of the assassin who had ambushed Liu Yisheng!
