Chapter 659: Attack
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was an arrow that Jing Yi had made for Su Xiaoxiao. It was especially used to deal with experts, making it impossible to guard against.
The disadvantage was that it could only be used once. The other party would not be easily tricked the second time.
Xu Qing also flashed behind the pillar.
“Are you alright?” the Gu Master asked worriedly.
Xu Qing calmed his chaotic internal breath. “I was drugged.”
The Gu Master couldn’t help but complain, “Who puts Imockout drugs in arrows these days… What a cunning guy…”
Then, his gaze landed on the arrow that had pierced deeply into the wall. His expression was complicated. “Archers of the Imperial Court? The Wei family? No, it’s the Leng family’s now. Were you followed today?”
“I shook him off,” Xu Qing confirmed.
The Gu Master could not help but sneer. “Then tell me, where did this archer come from?”
Xu Qing said, “Maybe he followed you here.”
The Gu Master’s expression turned cold. “Why did he wait until now to attack?” Xu Qing could not figure it out either.
He had reacted in time just now and did not inhale much of the drug, but this drug did not seem to be ordinary.
Swish!
The other party shot another arrow!
The Gu Master who had just stretched out his hand was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head.
This feeling of being ambushed in the dark was really uncomfortable.
The two of them did not move, and the other party did not move either. However, as long as one of them stuck their head out slightly, the other party’s arrow would come.
The Gu Master frowned and looked at Xu Qing. “How long will it take for you to purge the drug out?”
“Not so fast…” Xu Qing tried his best to mobilize his internal force.
The Gu Master thought for a moment and said, “That person only dares to hide in the dark and ambush. I think his martial arts are inferior to yours. It’s fine for us to hide here for a while.”
These words suddenly woke Xu Qing up. Xu Qing’s eyes turned sharp. “Not good! Children!”
Seconds later, the coachman climbed over the courtyard wall and carried the sleeping little fellows out one by one, placing them in the carriage parked outside the back door next door.
When he carried the last little fellow, Xu Qing reacted.
He took off his coat and threw it out. Su Xiaoxiao’s arrow flew over. With the cover of his coat, his figure flashed and he rolled into a room diagonally opposite before breaking out of the window.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. As expected of King Nanyang’s scout, he reacted so quickly.
She jumped down after counting.
The coachman carried Dahu out and was greeted by Xu Qing’s treasured saber.
The coachman’s eyebrows twitched as he hugged Dahu and dodged back.
Clang!
A nine-section whip wrapped around Xu Qing’s saber.
The nine-section whip was given to her by Fourth Sister-in-law. She had learned a little from her and it was actually useful.
“Hurry up!” Su Xiaoxiao said to the coachman.
“Yes! Seventh Young Madam, be careful!” With that, the coachman no longer hesitated and carried Dahu into the carriage.
The carriage had been modified by Su Xiaoxiao. There were safety buckles on the floor and a velvet blanket. No matter how strong the inertia was, it wouldn’t throw the children out.
The coachman left with the three sleeping little ones.
Su Xiaoxiao held Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was drugged and his cultivation was greatly reduced.
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. He was still so fierce after being drugged. It seemed that he had suppressed his strength a lot in the past.
Only Su Mo ts sharp eyes could tell that this person was not simple. He had reminded her not to fight Xu Qing head-on more than once.
If it was her skills in her previous life, Su Xiaoxiao would not be afraid of him. This body was a little weak after all. If she was given a few more years, she would definitely be able to kill Xu Qing in one move!
She could only deal with Xu Qing now.
The whip did not have the advantage in close combat. Su Xiaoxiao switched to Lord Wu An’s dagger.
Xu Qing slashed down, but Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand to block it.
Shock flashed across Xu Qing’s eyes.
He didn’t expect her to catch it.
Even if he was drugged, it was still more than enough to deal with ordinary experts, let alone a little girl who did not even have internal strength.
The other party’s close combat was almost perfect. Her strength, speed, and reaction were not inferior to well-trained sacrificial soldiers.
“Who are you?”
Xu Qing asked.
He did not believe that a little girl who grew up in the countryside could have such skills. He had fought with Su Cheng before. Su Cheng’s talent was amazing, but the little girl’s martial arts skills were not the same as Su Cheng’s.
In short, her ability was not taught by Su Cheng.
And her silver silk gloves, wherever they had come from, could allow her to catch his blade with her bare hands.
Su Xiaoxiao sensed the gaze on her glove and sneered. “Why? Are you targeting my good things? I’m afraid you won’t be able to enjoy them!”
She grabbed his blade and stabbed him in the chest.
Xu Qing blocked her wrist with his backhand. Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach, causing him to take a few steps back.
He stabbed his saber into the ground and gritted his teeth to stabilize himself.
This little girl was too difficult to deal with. He had never seen anyone react so quickly.
He turned to look at the Gu Master in the hall. He disdained to join forces with others to bully the little girl, but the mission was important. He still gritted his teeth and said, “What are you waiting for? Attack!”
The Gu Master flicked his finger and cast a Gu on Su Xiaoxiao.
This Gu was similar to the Gu given to Moxie. Although it was not too poisonous, it could paralyze the other party’s body and make him lose consciousness as soon as possible.
However, something strange happened. The girl only closed her eyes.
She had clearly not done anything, but she seemed to have done something.
Su Xiaoxiao had just entered the pharmacy and was in the place where the two spaces overlapped. The numbness in her body instantly disappeared.
The Gu Master widened his eyes in disbelief.
Had he cast his Gu in vain?
Why was this girl fine?
Something was wrong, very wrong!
One more time!
The Gu Master cast a Gu on Su Xiaoxiao again. This time, he gave two!
Su Xiaoxiao was still fine.
The Gu Master staggered a step.
He looked down at the Gu in the bottle. There were five just now, but now there were only two left. He had indeed placed the Gu out.
“Can you do it or not?” Xu Qing asked him coldly.
Including the time this morning, she had already entered the pharmacy three times today. She was not sure if she could enter the pharmacy for the fourth time. If she could not enter, she would be finished if she was poisoned again.
Fortunately, the Gu Master pressed the bottle down. “This girl is strange! My Gu is useless to her!”
Xu Qing frowned. “Why is it useless?”
The Gu Master said angrily, “Who should I ask? Haven’t you been working for the Protector Duke’s Estate? Why didn’t you ask about this girl’s background?”
Every Gu worm was very precious. Two of them had been frightened to death by the little fellows during the day, and now, three more had been harmed. His heart ached!
The Gu Master said with a dark expression, “Hold on a little longer. My people are almost here!”
Xu Qing exchanged a few more moves with Su Xiaoxiao and was stabbed in the arm by her.
At this moment, the experts of the Gu Master finally arrived. There were a total of four people.
He left two to deal with Su Xiaoxiao, and the other two went with him to chase back the three little hostages.
The two experts fought with Su Xiaoxiao.
Xu Qing took the opportunity to meditate and circulate his energy to force out the medicine in his body bit by bit.
The Gu Master’s subordinate was an expert from Northern Yan. His martial arts were not weak, but this girl’s killing intent tonight was too strong. In order to save the three little fellows, this girl did not even want her life.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished dealing with the two experts, blood splattered across her face. She didn’t even blink and pulled out her dagger without hesitation.
Now!
Xu Qing, who had forced out the medicine, suddenly increased his strength. He slapped Su Xiaoxiao’s back!
If this palm hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the critical moment, a cold and dangerous aura suddenly came from the air, like snow that had been frozen for a thousand years. It suddenly swept through the entire courtyard.
Ghostfear descended from the sky and met Xu Qing’s palm!
Before Xu Qing could feel the pain, he heard a crack.. His bones had cracked!
