Long Yi placed Gu Jiao properly, like setting down his small doll, and even used his internal strength to smooth the tuft of hair that stuck up on the little doll’s head.
"Long Yi, why are you here?" Gu Jiao asked him.
Obviously, Long Yi wouldn’t answer.
Forget it, this question could be pondered later. The immediate priority was dealing with the troublesome Dark Soul.
Gu Jiao pointed at Dark Soul not far away and said earnestly, "Long Yi, beat him up!"
I can’t beat you, but I can let Long Yi beat you!
Dark Soul clearly didn’t expect Gu Jiao to change his tone so suddenly. However, when he thought about it, this brat had always been shameless, otherwise he wouldn’t have tricked him countless times. But—who is this big guy who suddenly appeared?
Long Yi, in a black robe and wearing a ghost mask, had only been seen by Gu Jiao, Princess Xinyang, and Xiao Hen since he grew up.
But the aura emanating from him made Dark Soul feel a faint sense of familiarity.
Why?
Could it be because the other person was also a death warrior?
Long Yi didn’t move.
He tilted his head and looked at Gu Jiao in confusion, then reached out and pinched Gu Jiao’s cheek.
Gu Jiao’s mouth was opened wide by his pinch, and she said unclearly, "Whatchoo (what are you) doin’?"
Long Yi looked cluelessly into her throat.
Gu Jiao understood. After coming to Yan Country, she had been using a boy’s voice most of the time to avoid being exposed.
Long Yi had never heard this voice before.
He thought her throat had a problem.
Long Yi looked left and right, making Gu Jiao’s cheeks numb. Her small mouth wanted to close but couldn’t: "I’m fine, you go (beat) the guy."
Can you show your opponent basic respect?
That was no shrimp; he was Dark Soul, the top death warrior of the six countries.
The killing intent on him was so strong, yet you seemed not to take him seriously at all?
Dark Soul looked at Long Yi and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Gu Jiao removed Long Yi’s hand, and Long Yi turned around, his gaze coldly fixed on Dark Soul.
Gu Jiao peeked out from behind Long Yi with a small head and said arrogantly, "I’m your grandpa!"
Dark Soul: "..."
Dark Soul didn’t argue with the kid, his gaze fell on Long Yi’s face again: "Your aura feels familiar to me, it’s as if I’ve seen you somewhere. But since you don’t want to say, I’ll find out myself!"
After saying this, he suddenly channeled his internal strength and lunged at Long Yi with a raised palm.
Zhan Country’s Dragon Shadow Guards were equipped with long swords, and Long Yi was no exception.
He shook his hand, sending the long sword from his waist into the air. Then he leaped up, drew and waved it in reverse, embedding the sword and sheath into the bluestone ground where he had been standing like a steadfast shield, firmly protecting Gu Jiao.
Beyond this boundary, anyone who crosses dies!
Dark Soul looked at the sword and sheath deeply embedded in the bluestone ground. It wasn’t surprising for a sword to penetrate the ground, as it was an offensive weapon. But the sheath was blunt, and it was also deeply embedded in the stone.
This showed just how powerful the other person’s strength was.
He squinted his eyes slightly: "Then let’s see how strong you really are!"
Black Wind King ran over from behind Gu Jiao, stopping beside her and sniffing her scent.
"I’m not hurt." Gu Jiao patted its head. She had only slightly twisted her right foot, nothing serious.
A person and a horse stood in the alley, silently watching the battle between the two.
True experts never needed overly complex and flamboyant moves, especially death warriors who often had missions to kill. Every move was simple, brutal, and aimed straight at vital points.
Long Yi used his fists, Dark Soul used his palms. Long Yi punched towards Dark Soul’s chest with a force that could break his chest cavity on the spot and kill him by rupturing his heart.
Of course, Dark Soul wouldn’t let his opponent succeed easily. He blocked Long Yi’s fist with his palm.
But Long Yi’s strength was beyond his imagination. He thought he could knock Long Yi away with one palm, but instead, he was forced to slide back tens of steps by Long Yi’s unstoppable force, almost making his shoes smoke from the friction with the stone path.
Dark Soul was pushed to the alley’s entrance. He kicked the wall behind him, leaped over Long Yi’s head, intending to launch a sneak attack on Long Yi’s back with a palm.
Long Yi turned around and threw a punch!
Dark Soul was sent flying by Long Yi’s strength!
Gu Jiao: "Wow!"
Clap, must clap.
As Dark Soul was about to hit the roof, he grabbed the edge of the eaves, spinning several times to dissipate the immense force.
Then he pulled himself up with his arm strength, flipped, and landed steadily on the rooftop.
He squinted his eyes as he looked at Long Yi in the alley, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Although he had just used less than half of his strength, it should be known that in recent years, he normally only used thirty percent of his strength.
