The sword and the person are one.
Ming Hongyi was also sent flying!
Ming Hongyi indeed underestimated his opponent, thinking this kid looked very young and showed no internal strength when striking. He thought using only ten percent of his power was more than enough.
As a result, he got knocked away!
Ming Hongyi was furious and humiliated, tapping his toes, using the tree trunk to regain balance, he flipped in mid-air, steadied himself, and charged towards Gu Jiao with his blade once more!
This time, this was not an attack of underestimating the enemy.
Gu Jiao had to dodge; otherwise, the force from the duel would harm the child and the Black Wind King.
"Hold on tight!"
Gu Jiao sprang off the horse, taking large strides forward, and lashed at Ming Hongyi’s waist and abdomen with a whip.
This kid’s power really managed to entangle me... Ming Hongyi frowned, surprised at the arm strength Gu Jiao exhibited, while a great thrill surged within his heart.
Such an opponent makes the fight interesting, right?
Ming Hongyi sneered coldly and switched his blade to slash at Gu Jiao’s whip.
The whip was forcibly severed, causing Gu Jiao to stagger backward several steps.
Nine years later, she would have the absolute power to kill Ming Hongyi, but right now, Ming Hongyi was a big problem.
Ming Hongyi laughed maniacally: "Kid, what other tricks do you have?"
Gu Jiao replied, "I’m so powerful, can you really bear to kill me?"
Ming Hongyi was taken aback.
Gu Jiao coaxed: "Why not take me back, present me to your Gongsun Yu, with my help, you’d surely triumph over Xie Xingzhou."
This kid is a rare talent worth cultivating, if indeed—
Swish!
Gu Jiao maneuvered her hand and launched the Begonia Needle!
Ming Hongyi was highly skilled in martial arts, but his mind was not as sharp as Xie Xingzhou’s, which was why he was always overshadowed by Xie Xingzhou.
Ming Hongyi used his sword to block, but it was still a step too late as a Begonia Needle struck his abdomen!
The needle was poisoned!
Ming Hongyi hastily pressed the acupoints around the wound to prevent the poison from spreading.
"Boy, you really angered me! I was going to give you a quick death, but now I’ve changed my mind! I’m going to cut off your hands, break all the bones in your body, and then chop off your head!"
"Waaah—" Little Black Wuchang was scared to tears.
Ming Hongyi was in a fit of rage, the child’s cries annoyed him immensely, and he swung his sword towards Little Black Wuchang’s head!
He was coming with a frontal slash; whether the Black Wind King advanced or retreated, Little Black Wuchang would be struck.
So despicable, he wouldn’t even spare a child!
Being dismembered like that was truly deserved!
Gu Jiao’s eyes flashed, and she lunged forward, snatching Little Black Wuchang off the horse. She cradled Little Black Wuchang and rolled through the grassy ground several times.
Ming Hongyi seized the opportunity to deliver a second slash, so quick that Gu Jiao, holding the child, found it impossible to evade!
Is this... where I die?
Gu Jiao wanted to live, and there was only one way—throw the child in her arms to block the blade.
