The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1662 - 804 Long Yi Arrives! (Second Update)

Gu Jiao felt the fierce killing intent and sword energy, her brow furrowing: "Watch out!"

There was no time to dodge, Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and forcefully pushed the two of them towards the rooftop ahead.

The sword energy landed on his leg alone, which was better than letting Gu Jiao get hurt with him.

However, the expected pain did not come. On the other side of the rooftop, a dark blue figure descended from the sky, also slashing out a sword energy, protecting Gu Chengfeng who was just inches away from losing his legs.

Gu Chengfeng looked back in surprise: "Big brother?"

Gu Changqing struck with his palm, sending him to the rooftop where Gu Jiao and the King had landed.

"Go quickly." He said calmly, his gaze watching the black-robed man two zhang away with vigilance.

Gu Chengfeng was so shocked he couldn’t close his mouth.

Big big big big big big big big big... big brother, why are you here?

Wasn’t he always lying in the intensive care unit?

When did he wake up?

And how did he know about his actions tonight?

Gu Jiao furrowed her little brow, seemingly a bit puzzled as well, but not as intensely as Gu Chengfeng. It might be due to her naturally calm disposition.

It had been nearly a month since Gu Changqing was injured. Although his physical condition was gradually stabilizing, he had not woken up in front of her.

The National Master also said he had not woken up.

Did he just wake up?

Thinking of Ye Qing’s arrival, Gu Jiao speculated that the National Master had somehow learned of her plan to break into the Cold Palace at night, so he arranged for Ye Qing to assist her and had the awakened Gu Changqing come to her rescue.

Since when did the National Master and Gu Changqing get so familiar?

"Go!"

Gu Jiao made the decision without hesitation.

Gu Chengfeng looked worriedly at Gu Changqing’s back: "But my big brother—"

Gu Jiao said calmly, "Dark Soul’s target is the King. As long as we take the King away, Dark Soul will immediately follow us."

In other words, this was actually the only way to let Gu Changqing escape.

Gu Chengfeng took one last look back at his big brother, wiped his red eyes with difficulty, grabbed Gu Jiao and the King, and leaped into the boundless night.

Confirming their auras had vanished, Gu Changqing secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"The medicine I gave you can temporarily suppress your aura, making it undetectable to others. However, even with my help in secretly rehabilitating and training you, it is still difficult to reach the ideal strength in a short time due to your severe injuries."

Thinking of the National Master’s instructions, Gu Changqing tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand.

He was still not a match for Dark Soul and could not face him head-on.

He had to find a way to restrain him.

Dark Soul’s eyes behind the mask narrowed slightly: "Ah, I remember you. You’re Long Aotian. You took a sword strike from me and didn’t die; your life is indeed resilient."

Gu Changqing said coldly: "I have a strong life force; yours, on the other hand, is not guaranteed."

Dark Soul sneered: "Even if that strike didn’t take your life, it must have ruined your foundation. Let me think, how can you still stand before me unscathed? Did the National Master use poison on you to turn you into a dead soldier?"

Gu Changqing’s pupils constricted!

Dark Soul continued: "But it’s strange. You don’t have the aura of a dead soldier."

Taking poison and turning into a dead soldier is not necessarily cause and effect. There are two types of dead soldiers. One type starts training in the ways of dead soldiers from childhood; Dragon Shadow Guard and most of the dead soldiers in the market are like this.

The other method involves taking a currently incurable poison and then practicing the ways of dead soldiers. Dark Soul and Shitian are this type of dead soldier.

The advantage of the first method is relative safety, but the age limit is a disadvantage. Usually, it can’t be practiced after five years old, and its strength is not as powerful as the second type of dead soldier.

The second method has the advantage of no age limit, but the disadvantage is that ninety-nine out of a hundred poisoned people die.

"Normally, someone poisoned like that would struggle to survive, especially with injuries like yours. It shouldn’t be possible to withstand the poison. But if you didn’t use that poison, how did you recover?"

Dark Soul’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued, "Tell me the answer, and as a condition, I can let you go."

Gu Changqing said meaningfully: "You really want to know? Why don’t you answer a few of my questions first. If your answers satisfy me, I’ll tell you!"

"Young man, stalling is not a good idea." Dark Soul wasn’t a fool. He admitted he was indeed curious about the miracle of Long Aotian, but he wouldn’t let the other manipulate him.

He looked at Gu Changqing faintly: "I won’t kill you today. After I finish my business, I’ll come to the National Master Hall for answers!"

"Trying to leave? It’s not that easy!" Gu Changqing flashed, holding his longsword to block his way.

But Dark Soul was too fast. Before Gu Changqing could make a move, Dark Soul snapped his longsword back into its sheath with a swift motion!

Immediately after, Dark Soul seemed to flash like a hurricane, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Gu Changqing watched his departing figure and quietly gripped his longsword tightly.

Gu Chengfeng eventually agreed to split into two groups with Gu Jiao. Anyway, Dark Soul’s target was the King. As long as he took the King away, Dark Soul would definitely follow him.

That troublesome girl leaving on her own would actually be safer.

He had intended to leave, but not long after he left, Gu Jiao took out a bone whistle and blew it forcefully.

Gu Chengfeng’s body stiffened. Damn! He forgot the girl had the whistle!

Finished! Finished!

If Dark Soul hears the whistle, he will definitely chase after her!

Gu Chengfeng turned his head to go save Gu Jiao.

Wait, I can’t do this.

If I take the National Master with me, Dark Soul will capture the National Master and then have no scruples, he will definitely kill both of us on the spot.

Escape!

Escape as far as possible!

If Dark Soul discovers the National Master isn’t with her, he might not waste time on her.

Gu Chengfeng clenched his fist tightly, carrying the National Master, and ran forward with gritted teeth.

Dark Soul heard Gu Jiao’s bone whistle and indeed changed course to chase after her, his lightness skill was excellent, walking like on flat ground on the steep rooftops.

Soon he saw the small figure weaving through the alley, his lips pulled into a cold smile, and he leaped, landing steadily in front of Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao’s steps suddenly halted.

She turned around and continued to run.

Dark Soul easily leapt over her head, once again blocking her path.

Gu Jiao’s face darkened, not knowing lightness skill was really troublesome!

Dark Soul asked, "Where are the two hiding?"

Gu Jiao replied, "If you’ve got the guts, find them yourself."

Dark Soul approached her step by step, slowly and menacingly, "Boy, killing you is just a matter of a flick of the finger, be sensible and I’ll give you a quick death."

Gu Jiao chuckled, "If you kill me, my people will kill the National Master!"

Dark Soul’s steps paused slightly.

Gu Jiao’s acting skill soared to unprecedented heights in the moment of crisis; she displayed soul-stirring performances, "I want the National Master to preserve my life, but if my life can’t be preserved, then the life or death of the National Master naturally doesn’t matter, if you don’t believe, just kill me and see, I dare to assure you, the National Master will surely die with me!"

Dark Soul gave her a deep look, as if he was judging the truthfulness of her words.

After a moment, he laughed aloud, "Boy, you won’t. I’ll say it one last time, hand them over, or I’ll kill you."

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows, "If I hand them over you’ll kill me anyway, won’t you?"

Dark Soul said, "I’ll kill you anyway."

Gu Jiao folded her arms, "So, why should I hand over the National Master to you!"

As she spoke, she glanced casually towards an abandoned horse shed on the right rear.

"Inside here?" Dark Soul flipped the roof of the shed with a palm, but it was empty inside.

His face turned cold, "Boy, you tricked me!"

"Wait!" Gu Jiao raised her hand and calmly made a stopping gesture, "I can give you the National Master, but I have a condition, let me see your face under the mask. In the six countries, no one has seen the face of Dark Soul and Slayer, I want to see. After all, I’m about to die, just consider it fulfilling my small wish."

Gu Jiao was stalling for time.

Black Wind King was on the way.

Once Black Wind King arrived, she had at least half a chance to escape.

Dark Soul sneered, "Boy, you have no qualifications to negotiate with me! My patience has really run out, if you don’t speak, I’ll kill you first and then find the National Master! I don’t believe your accomplice can go far with the National Master!"

Gu Jiao pointed behind him, "Ah! Slayer!"

Dark Soul did not believe Slayer would appear, but the name was too significant to him, he instinctively turned his head to look.

As he realized he’d been tricked again, Gu Jiao had already thrown a whole bag of black fire beads.

He was bombed back ten steps.

Gu Jiao seized the chance to turn out of the alley.

"Boss!"

Gu Jiao saw Black Wind King rushing towards her, her eyes lit up, even the pain in her feet forgotten.

Dark Soul was completely enraged, he chased forward, hitting the wall beside him with a palm!

The old wall collapsed with a crash, smashing down towards Gu Jiao!

"This time, no one can save you!"

As Dark Soul’s words just fell, a shadow of profound color flew through the night, strong arms wrapped around Gu Jiao, and swiftly flew out of the ruins!

He was too fast, Gu Jiao felt the wind blow across her face.

He landed steadily, Gu Jiao hanging head down, looking at the long shadow cast by the moonlight on the ground, she expressionlessly spat out a mouthful of wall dust, "Long time no see... Long Yi."
