The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1059

Chapter 1059: 514 Killing the Celestial Wolf (Second Update)

It’s impossible to fight a master like Tianlang with brute force. Gu Jiao had only recovered about twenty to thirty percent of her strength and couldn’t even defeat the Dragon Shadow Guard, let alone Tianlang.

She had to outwit him.

However, Gu Jiao hadn’t expected Tianlang’s vigilance to be so high. This was not the most advantageous terrain in her plan. She had studied the map of Lingguan City and knew that three miles further in this direction was a canyon.

That canyon was where she intended to battle Tianlang.

Unfortunately, Tianlang had discovered her too early.

The current geographical conditions were somewhat disadvantageous for Gu Jiao—too open, too suitable for Tianlang to slaughter her, the little cub.

Tianlang didn’t even bother to ask who Gu Jiao was before he launched his second killing move at her.

Gu Jiao wasn’t sure if he couldn’t speak or simply couldn’t be bothered to, his gaze filled with disdain.

Indeed, with his skills, he was a mature alpha wolf, and Gu Jiao was at best a lone wolf’s cub.

What was there to fear?

Tianlang’s second move was not directed at Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear. Since he took a liking to the weapon, he wouldn’t damage it; instead, he aimed straight for Gu Jiao’s neck, intending to sever her head!

Such a method was indeed too arrogant!

Gu Jiao parried with her spear, blocking his attack for the second time!

Tianlang’s cold gaze narrowed slightly, evidently not expecting this little cub to have some skills.

Gu Jiao always remembered the words her adoptive father had told her, the best defense is offense. She couldn’t just stand there waiting for Tianlang to come and beat her; she also had to take swings at Tianlang.

She swung her right hand wielding the Red-Tasseled Spear at Tianlang’s face and with her left hand stealthily grasped the syringe hidden in her sleeve.

Her thumb pushed off the cap, and as she neared Tianlang, she thrust the needle towards Tianlang’s neck with force!

Tianlang was fully armed, with only his neck, hands, and eyes exposed, and obviously, the neck was the easiest target.

During this period, Gu Jiao’s strength had not stopped recovering, and she had improved a lot since her time in Capital City. Her hand movements were so fast they seemed to leave only afterimages.

Nobody knew that she was just as dexterous with her left hand as she was with her right. She could use either hand, and her habit was whatever she wanted others to see.

It must be said, her hands were too fast, so fast that Tianlang hadn’t anticipated her using a hidden weapon on him.

But Tianlang was no pushover.

The moment the needle pierced his neck, he reacted in time, slapping Gu Jiao and sending her flying!

Gu Jiao slid backward for dozens of steps on the snowfield, stopping only when she thrust the Red-Tasseled Spear deep into the snow!

The syringe was also knocked away.

What a pity.

That was high-quality anesthetic.

Fighting was one thing, but wasting medicine was unacceptable.

Gu Jiao was furious.

Gasping for breath, she stood up, walked over to pick up the syringe that had been knocked away, and attacked Tianlang once more!

No fancy moves.

Once again, Tianlang sent both Gu Jiao and the syringe flying.

This time, Gu Jiao wasn’t as lucky as the first; she fell heavily into the snowfield and couldn’t get up for a while.

Thinking she was dead, Tianlang came over to collect his trophy—the Red-Tasseled Spear.

But Gu Jiao, propping herself up with her hands on the icy ground and with the eyes of a fierce little beast, snatched up the syringe from the snowfield and stabbed at Tianlang with relentless determination!

Tianlang was truly annoyed; after sending Gu Jiao flying once more, he decided to crush the hidden weapon first, then crush Gu Jiao’s head, preferably so that her brains would spray out everywhere!

Gu Jiao lay in the snowfield next to the Red-Tasseled Spear. She clutched her chest, suppressing the taste of blood rising in her throat, and stared coldly at Tianlang.

Tianlang moved to the other side and stomped fiercely on the syringe!

However, in that instant, something incredible happened.

The moment the syringe shattered, Tianlang was blown away by the explosion that erupted beneath his feet!

Gu Jiao’s lips curved into a cold smile.

You really thought it was still just a syringe?

Ever heard of a detonator?

Making a detonator isn’t easy, and it’s hard to keep stable because it explodes with any vibration. If it vibrated before leaving her hand, Gu Jiao could have been the first to die.

Furthermore, the detonator she made was different from those in her previous life, starting with its reduced power as it was created from nitroglycerine extracted from the medicine in her first aid kit. The purity wasn’t likely to be sufficient, and there wasn’t much of it.

Just this one.

She had never tested its power herself.

But judging by the spattered blood on Tianlang’s body, it seemed the power was quite sufficient.

Stronger than a black fire bead.
