The next moment, the murderous red-tasseled spear emerged with an unstoppable force, severing the leading death warrior’s head with lightning-like precision!
Blood splattered over his companions, and the round head rolled onto the snowy ground. His horse hadn't yet halted and its hooves trampled over the severed head...
Everyone was stunned!
How could this youth possess such skills?
No. The question should be, how could someone who looked so young be so ruthless!?
"Is... is he a death warrior?"
One of the experts asked, his voice trembling.
Of the four death warriors among their ranks, one was now dead, and the remaining three all looked toward the youth before them.
There seemed to be a hint of the death warrior's aura around the youth, but it was stronger than that of a death warrior. They couldn't quite discern what it was.
Almost instinctively, they felt a sense of dread toward this young, killing deity-like figure.
However, the youth clearly had no intention of letting them off. Swiftly, the youth’s red-tasseled spear once again attacked.
This time, targeting another death warrior.
Ordinary soldiers couldn't distinguish between martial experts and death warriors. Perhaps a more powerful expert could, but still not with such accuracy and swiftness.
When all four death warriors fell to the youth's red-tasseled spear, the remaining individuals realized they had no chance of winning.
"Retreat!"
One of the men in black shouted.
He spurred his horse and bolted away!
Gu Jiao grabbed the red-tasseled spear. Coldly eyeing his back, she swiftly launched the spear at him!
The immense force surged forth like a barrage of arrows, propelling the man in black and his armor off the horseback. His back was pierced through, and he crashed heavily onto the snowy ground.
The remaining few lost all their fighting spirit, trembling in fear as they watched the youth pull out the red-tasseled spear and walk toward them step by step.
Drops of blood from the red-tasseled spear stained the snow, resembling flowers blooming along the road to the underworld.
"You, you, you... don't come any closer! We are Yi Wang's trusted followers!"
Another man in black on horseback pulled tight on the reins as he spoke to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao's steps didn't falter.
Everyone involuntarily swallowed hard.
The man in black continued, "Yi Wang is the Son of Heaven chosen by the Living Buddha. He is the Emperor's star incarnate. If you are willing to submit to Yi Wang, he will surely grant you high rank and wealth!"
The youth who was like the God of Slaughter drew nearer.
Everyone involuntarily leaned backward.
The man in black, sweating profusely, continued, "If you let us go, Yi Wang will reward you. Don't think that just because the Gu Family Army has come, your State of Zhao's imperial court will win. The hundred thousand reinforcements from the State of Chen are about to arrive at the border! They are bringing the powerful crossbow carriages of the State of Liang with them, capable of conquering cities effortlessly. You won't win——"
Before he could finish speaking, the youth's red-tasseled spear pierced his chest.
"You talk too much."
The youth spoke calmly, withdrawing the red-tasseled spear while devoid of any expression.
The man in black lay sprawled on the snowy ground, his horse startled and whinnying twice before nervously shifting its hooves.
The others tightly sealed their lips.
We won't talk!
Don't kill us!
The youth cast a world-weary gaze toward them, "Not even a final plea. It seems you are ready to meet your end."
Everyone: "...!!"
A quarter of an hour later, the forest that had just been filled with a murderous atmosphere fell silent.
Nineteen out of the twenty members of the group had fallen, leaving only the last man in black trembling and kneeling in the snow.
Gu Jiao looked down at him, the tip of her red-tasseled spear pressed against his heart. "There's a formidable death warrior around the Imperial Son-in-law. Where is he?"
The man in black was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. Perhaps still not fully recovered from the massive carnage, it took him a while to grasp what Gu Jiao was asking.
Swallowing hard, he quivered, "Young hero..."
Wait a minute, this wasn't a young hero!
It was a girl!
Indeed, she was unmistakably a girl!
Even if a boy had yet to undergo a voice change, there was still a considerable difference between the voice of a young boy and a young girl. He had been so terrified by the youth in front of him that he forgot to pay attention to her voice when she spoke.
The fear in the man in black's eyes didn't diminish upon realizing she was a girl. If anything, it increased.
What kind of girl could be this terrifying?
Could she possibly be a death warrior belonging to the State of Yan, a privilege reserved only for the Yan's nobility? contemporary romance
Death warriors originated from the State of Yan. Other five states either paid a hefty sum to hire or bought lesser versions of death warriors from the State of Yan, who weren't as powerful. It was only through fortuitous circumstances that their Imperial Son-in-law acquired a formidable death warrior for nobility from the State of Yan.
"Yo-young... hero… miss..."
The man in black struggled with whether to address her as a young hero or a young miss, stuttering for a while before hesitantly saying, "Are you asking about Tian Lang(Celestial Wolf)?"
"Tian Lang?" Gu Jiao repeated in a detached tone.
How impressive was he to have such a cool name?
Gu Jiao noticed a hint of involuntary fear in the eyes of the man in black when he mentioned Tian Lang.
"Is he that formidable?" Gu Jiao inquired.
The man in black replied, "It, it's not just formidable. The death warrior in the hands of the Imperial Son-in-law and Yi Wang combined are no match for him alone!"
Gu Jiao wasn't sure if the death warriors under the Imperial Son-in-law and Yi Wang were on the same level as the previous four she just killed. Honestly, those four were not weak, but they weren't exceptionally powerful either.
However, what caught Gu Jiao's attention was that the three Dragon Shadow Guards Tang Yueshan mentioned were injured by this particular death warrior. It made Gu Jiao’s eyebrow raise in wonder.
