Another spray of fresh blood jetted out, splashing onto her face!
She wiped it off casually, and a terrifying look crept into her eyes.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
She had been fighting for so long with just a stick, knocking people unconscious, they had thought she had no weapon or that she didn’t know how to use one, they were even guessing that she might be timid, kindhearted, and indecisive.
After all, she was just a teenage girl.
However, that "timid," "kindhearted," "indecisive" young girl had just stabbed an assassin through the heart!
It seemed like just an instant, and yet it felt like an eternity, by the time the masked assassin came to his senses from the shock, all his brothers had fallen.
The air was thick with the stench of blood.
His martial arts were not weak, if he truly fought to the death with Gu Jiao, even if he didn’t win, escaping wouldn’t be a problem.
But he was frightened stiff by Gu Jiao’s tactics.
Is this really a little girl? Damn it, she’s more like a god of slaughter!
Gu Jiao was covered in blood, none of which was her own, and drops of blood dripped continuously from her dagger.
The rage within her surged endlessly with the stimulation of fresh blood, she grasped her dagger like a Shura returning from Purgatory, taking steps toward the masked man.
The masked man’s legs gave out, and he collapsed on the ground.
"Don’t come any closer... you, just don’t come any closer!"
He backed away on one hand and with the other, pointed his sword at Gu Jiao.
But his words were no more than a roar, barely a bravado.
Liu Yisheng and Yuan Tang had also noticed something was off with Gu Jiao, they called her many times, but she seemed not to hear at all.
"Doctor Gu!" Liu Yisheng called her once more.
Gu Jiao still did not respond.
Yuan Tang walked over, blocking in front of Gu Jiao, "That’s enough! It’s done!"
Gu Jiao pushed Yuan Tang away with the back of her hand, causing him to stagger several steps and almost break his own ribs against the corner of the wall.
What’s going on, has this girl gone mad?
Liu Yisheng approached from behind Gu Jiao, staring at her silhouette, "Doctor Gu..."
Gu Jiao’s blade fell.
Liu Yisheng closed his eyes in anguish.
...
Gu Jiao took out a flint and searched the filthy ground for the severed finger.
Liu Yisheng leaned against the wall and sat down.
She knelt before Liu Yisheng, opened the first aid kit, took out the disinfectant and surgical tools, cleaned her hands, and put on gloves.
Gu Jiao cleaned Liu Yisheng’s wound, injected anesthetic, and sutured the severed finger back in place.
