It was impossible to confront experts like Tian Lang head-on. Gu Jiao had only recovered about twenty to thirty percent of her strength now. She couldnʼt even defeat the Dragon Shadow Guards, let alone Tian Lang.

Outsmarting him was the way to go.

However, Gu Jiao didnʼt expect Tian Lang to be so alert.

This terrain wasnʼt the most advantageous in Gu Jiaoʼs plan. She had seen the map of Lingguan City and knew that three miles ahead in this direction was a canyon.

That canyon should be her battlefield against Tian Lang.

Unfortunately, Tian Lang discovered her too early.

The current geographical conditions were somewhat unfavorable for Gu Jiao. It was too open and very suitable for Tian Lang to slaughter a little cub like Gu Jiao.

Tian Lang didnʼt bother to ask who Gu Jiao was. Instead, he unleashed his second lethal move toward Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao wasnʼt sure if he couldnʼt speak or simply didnʼt want to. In any case, the disdain in his eyes as he looked at Gu Jiao was evident.

Well, with his skills, he was an adult alpha wolf, while Gu Jiao could at most be considered a lone wolf cub.

What was there for him to fear?

Tian Langʼs second move didnʼt target Gu Jiaoʼs red-tasseled spear. Since he had taken an interest in this weapon, he wouldnʼt destroy it. Instead, he directly aimed at Gu Jiaoʼs neck, intending to decapitate her!

This kind of attack was truly too arrogant!

Gu Jiao blocked with her long spear and successfully withstood his attack for the second time!

Tian Langʼs cold eyes narrowed slightly, evidently not expecting this little wolf cub to have some skill.

Gu Jiao always remembered what her godfather told her: the best defense was a good offense. She couldnʼt just stay in one place waiting for Tian Lang to come pummel her. She had to go and strike Tian Lang as well.

She swung her red-tasseled spear with her right hand, aiming at Tian Langʼs face, while her left hand subtly gripped the syringe hidden in her sleeve.

She flicked off the needle cap and the moment she got closer to Tian Lang, she fiercely jabbed towards his neck!

Tian Lang was fully armed, with only his neck, hands, and eyes exposed. Clearly, the neck was the easiest target.

During this period of time, Gu Jiaoʼs strength hadnʼt stopped recovering. Compared to her state in the capital, she had made considerable progress. Her hand movements were so fast that they seemed like nothing but afterimages.

No one knew that her left and right hands were equally dexterous. She could be right-handed or left-handed. Her characteristics were what she wanted people to see.

It must be said that her hands were too fast, so fast that even Tian Lang didnʼt anticipate she would use concealed weapons against him.

But Tian Lang wasnʼt an easy opponent either.

The moment the needle pierced his neck, he reacted promptly, sending Gu Jiao flying with a single palm strike!

Gu Jiao slid backward in the snow for dozens of steps. Only when she forcefully plunged the red-tasseled spear into the deep snow did she finally stop!

The syringe was also sent flying.

What a pity.

That was top-quality anesthesia.

Fighting was acceptable, wasting medication was not.

Gu Jiao was very angry.

Breathing heavily, she stood up straight, walked over to retrieve the syringe that had been sent flying, and once again attacked Tian Lang!

There were no flashy moves.

Tian Lang once again sent Gu Jiao and the syringe flying together.

This time, Gu Jiao wasnʼt as fortunate as the first time. She fell heavily into the snow and couldnʼt get up for a while.

Tian Lang thought she was dead and came to claim his spoils——the red-tasseled spear.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiao propped herself up with her hand on the icy ground, looking like a ferocious little beast. She swiftly grabbed the syringe from the snow and relentlessly stabbed it at Tian Lang!

Tian Lang was truly annoyed. After sending Gu Jiao flying once again, he planned to crush the concealed weapon first, then crush Gu Jiaoʼs head, preferably to make her brain matter splatter everywhere!

Gu Jiao and the red-tasseled spear fell together in the snow. She covered her chest, resisting the taste of blood rising in her throat, and coldly glared at Tian Lang.

Tian Lang went to the other side and viciously stomped on the syringe!

However, in that moment, an unbelievable thing happened.

The moment the syringe shattered, Tian Lang was suddenly blasted into the air by the unexpected explosion under his feet!

Gu Jiao coldly curled her lips.

Did he really think it was just a syringe?

Well, he didn’t know about detonators, did he?

Detonators werenʼt easy to make, and it was also challenging to preserve them. They explode upon the slightest disturbance. If it were to vibrate before leaving her hand, the first casualty might have been Gu Jiao herself.

Furthermore, the detonator she made was different from the ones in her previous life. Firstly, in terms of power, it was considerably weaker. After all, she just extracted nitroglycerin from the medicines in her little medicine chest, so the purity might not have been enough, and the dosage wasnʼt much.

She only had one.

She hadnʼt tested its power herself.

But judging from the scattered bloodstains on Tian Langʼs body, it seemed to pack quite a punch.

Stronger than her black gunpowder balls.

Tian Lang lay in the snow, his armor shattered, his helmet blown away. His injuries were unclear, but his body was covered in bloodstains.

He tried to move, but the power of this knockoff detonator seemed to have been a bit too much. He was slightly dazed, his body trembling, unable to get up for a while.

Excellent. While youʼre vulnerable, Iʼll take your life!

Gu Jiao grabbed the red-tasseled spear, suppressing the pain all over her body as she approached Tian Lang.

She had considered using the detonator directly on Tian Lang, but she wasnʼt sure if he would choose to dodge. If he evaded it, she wouldnʼt be able to hit him.

Hence, she had to lure him into destroying the detonator himself.

To bait him, Gu Jiao endured numerous blows, even risking her life with the syringe, which left her feeling a bit drained at this moment.

Gu Jiao walked up to Tian Lang, panting heavily as she looked at him and said, ”But... I still have the strength to kill you.”

With that, she gritted her teeth, raised the red-tasseled spear, and thrust fiercely towards Tian Langʼs heart!

As fate would have it, just in the nick of time, Tian Lang, who had been dazed by the explosion, suddenly grabbed hold of Gu Jiaoʼs long spear, relying on an instinctive sense of danger!

He violently pulled downward!

Gu Jiao, already fatigued, almost uncontrollably tipped forward.

Tian Lang raised his other hand and grabbed Gu Jiaoʼs neck.

His bloodshot eyes made him look like a ferocious beast.

However, he forgot that Gu Jiao was also a ferocious little beast!

Gu Jiao didnʼt try to remove his hand from her neck. Instead, she made a swift move, and the real syringe fell into her hand.

With lightning speed, she jabbed it towards his shoulder!

This time, it wasnʼt anesthesia.

It was a neurotoxin!
