The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1685 - 818 Dark Soul’s Death (Third Update)

Dark Soul was struck on his sore spot, his spirit momentarily faltered, and he almost got hit by Long Yi’s sword again.

He yelled angrily, "You brat! Shut up!"

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Can’t handle criticism, huh? Then why don’t you just stop fighting, tuck your tail between your legs and leave! Come back after another ten years of practice, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be able to fight Long Yi to a draw. Though I still think it’ll be tough for you!"

Dark Soul was a proud and arrogant warrior who had lived his whole life under the shadow of Shitian. Shitian was his nightmare, and he couldn’t tolerate anyone saying he was inferior to Shitian!

"That was twenty years ago! I am no longer Shitian’s defeated soldier!"

Dark Soul nearly spat out the last bit of his sentence through gritted teeth. He gathered all his inner strength and thrust his sword towards Long Yi’s heart.

However, the disturbances were too great, his breath unsteady, Long Yi had already anticipated his move.

Long Yi turned his hand and with a swift strike, he sent Dark Soul’s long sword flying!

This strike marked the beginning of a nightmare.

Dark Soul was completely infuriated, a blood-thirsty look filled his sinister eyes, and his aura began to change.

Gu Jiao was too familiar with this aura.

Dark Soul... was losing control!

The National Master had said that people poisoned with Zicao would more or less experience loss of control, usually at the brink of life and death, but there were exceptions.

Gu Jiao frowned, "Is this guy planning to perish together with Long Yi?"

Beast King also instinctively sensed danger, tensing his muscles silently.

Dark Soul suddenly lunged at Long Yi, snatching his long sword with bare hands, and sent him flying with a palm strike!

He swiftly moved to Long Yi’s side, grabbed Long Yi’s collar, and relentlessly pounded his fists into Long Yi’s body!

Each of his punches carried terrifying inner strength, Gu Jiao could hear the sound of bones breaking.

Long Yi was completely suppressed by the out-of-control Dark Soul!

Even more terrifying was, whether it was due to the lure of Dark Soul’s aura or a self-protective instinct, Gu Jiao also sensed a change in Long Yi’s aura.

Long Yi... was also losing control!

Long Yi’s eyes turned blood-red as he looked at Dark Soul, every punch landing on him seemed to be unlocking the chains suppressing his killing intent.

Gu Jiao’s eyes turned cold, she pulled an arrow from behind, drew a full bow, and shot it through Dark Soul’s thigh!

In such a state, this minor injury meant nothing, he didn’t even feel the pain.

But he couldn’t allow himself to be provoked.

He tossed Long Yi aside and struck at Gu Jiao with a palm from midair!

Beast King tried to take Gu Jiao away, but it was too late; Gu Jiao was hit by his palm wind, knocked over, and heavily slammed against the collapsing wall of the Wine House. ƒreewebɳovel.com

She fell to the ground as the stone wall crumbled and came crashing down towards her!

However, Gu Jiao wasn’t buried under the collapsed wall.

Long Yi used his tall body to shield her.

Gu Jiao looked into his bloodshot eyes, seeing the blood haze slowly dissipate, "Long Yi..."

Long Yi panted heavily.

He didn’t lose control.

He didn’t turn back into the heartless Beast.

Long Yi carried Gu Jiao, performed a light leap, and gently placed her back on Beast King’s back.

Then he swiftly charged at Dark Soul with lightning speed and punched him in the chest!

Dark Soul had no time to dodge, falling to the ground on the spot!

Long Yi followed up with another punch, breaking Dark Soul’s ribs with a crack and puncturing his lungs.

His breathing became labored, the immense pain and loss of inner strength gradually brought him back to consciousness.

He looked at Long Yi in disbelief.

Indeed, there was killing intent in Long Yi’s eyes, but it wasn’t the kind that came from losing control.

...Why?

Why is this happening?

How could he defeat me while still conscious?

"You can’t... beat... me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Long Yi twisted his hand and snapped his neck with a crack!

Dark Soul fell to the ground, dying with eyes wide open, seemingly unable to comprehend how he lost even in death.

He didn’t lose to the warrior Shitian.

He was defeated by a man named Long Yi.
