Chapter 30 Knife Rain
The assassins pursuing the Gu family members were dispersed, but this was only temporary, and new assassins would arrive later.
Without Zhazha and Zhou Wen to restrain them, these later assassins would not obediently follow behind.
However, for Gu Yu, it was just a minor annoyance.
Moreover, with the three people he had subdued along the way, Gu Yu didn’t even need to make a move.
When assassins attacked, he would simply send out the three of them along with his younger brother-in-law, Gu Qingheng, and the battles would be resolved in minutes.
However, even so, the repeated attacks by the assassins had significantly slowed down their journey.
Their original running speed had turned into a slow walk, which made Gu Yu very unhappy, wishing he could deal with the guys following behind him immediately.
But these assassins were like wild grass; they would be wiped out time and time again, only to keep popping up.
Especially as time went by, the assassins began to increase exponentially.
This made Gu Yu suspect that the capital had raised the price again, or the number of assassins would not have increased so much.
Alas.
To kill them, those big masters in the capital had truly gone to great lengths.
Unfortunately, if they wanted to kill him, Gu Yu, they would have to wait for the next life!
“Brother-in-law, the assassins have been appearing too frequently recently. Should we counterattack?”
As Gu Yu was feeling annoyed, Gu Qingheng immediately came over.
Originally, when he heard his brother-in-law’s mischievous words, Gu Yu would definitely not take it seriously and would teach Gu Qingheng a lesson to focus on the journey.
However, the sheer number of assassins now had indeed annoyed Gu Yu.
If he could turn all these people into test subjects for medicine, Gu Yu wouldn’t be so depressed… but he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to show off in front of his little wife.
Test subjects would come later, but opportunities to impress Gu Mengyao were rare.
Therefore, Gu Yu could only suppress his desire to test the medicine, which made him very annoyed as he saw more and more assassins appearing.
Since Gu Qingheng wanted to deal with the people following behind, Gu Yu no longer stopped him. Instead, he would provide plenty of props to help Gu Qingheng deal with more people.
“You’re just bored on the road and want to kill a few people, right? Brother-in-law, I’ll give you this opportunity. This is a poison powder I made after studying the Poison Scripture. Just a little bit will cause paralysis of the heart and death… Most importantly, this powder has a very long-lasting effect. You’ll have to use your brain to deal with the assassins following us.”
When he heard that Gu Yu had actually agreed this time, Gu Qingheng’s expression was momentarily stunned. He never expected happiness to come so suddenly!
He had just made a casual remark, and his brother-in-law had actually agreed!
Was the sun rising from the west today?
Thinking this, Gu Qingheng of course dared not say it directly… It was rare for his brother-in-law to agree, and he even took the initiative to give him poison powder!
“Okay, absolutely no problem! But, brother-in-law, please give us the antidote first, so we don’t accidentally injure our allies.”
“You’ll get yours, but you need to know one thing! If you use the wind to blow the poison powder backward like last time, although many assassins will die, the residual poison powder will fall on the ground and vegetation. If ordinary people pass by and touch it, they will also die immediately.”
Seeing Gu Qingheng looking eager, Gu Yu smiled slightly and then reminded him.
The previous medicine did not kill people and had a time limit. After a certain period, they would recover to normal, and the medicine would not kill anyone.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Yu had allowed Gu Qingheng to play pranks.
However, the effect of using the poison powder this time would be completely different.
Of course, the reason Gu Yu said this was that Gu Mengyao had been looking at him repeatedly… To prove that he was definitely not a bad person, he had to say it even if he didn’t want to.
And he had to say it righteously.
Gu Qingheng, his brother-in-law, was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. He never expected to hear Gu Yu say such a thing in his lifetime.
It was simply a subversion of his life’s beliefs!
Now, it wasn’t the sun rising from the west, but knives raining down from the sky!
It was truly terrifying!
“Brother-in-law, I will definitely use the poison powder properly and will never let ordinary people be contaminated!”
As Gu Qingheng was so astonished that his mouth was a little dry, he suddenly received his sister’s gaze, which made his body tremble. He immediately opened his mouth and promised loudly.
Suddenly, he knew why his brother-in-law had said that…
Seeing that neither Gu Yu nor Gu Qingheng took human lives lightly, Gu Mengyao finally nodded in satisfaction and withdrew her loving gaze from the two of them.
Afterward, Gu Qingheng, after receiving a whole bottle of poison powder from Gu Yu, excitedly discussed with Yi Dianhong and the other two how to use this bottle of poison.
Gu Yu didn’t care much about this. Whether others lived or died had nothing to do with him. He just seized the opportunity to impress his little wife and needed to continue to gain presence in front of Gu Mengyao!
…
“Little Gu, is this bottle of poison powder really that magical?”
As Gu Yu galloped his horse alongside Gu Mengyao, Gu Qingheng was surrounded by the other three. Kuang Ba Dao Ke, after hearing Gu Qingheng’s introduction to the effects of the poison powder, subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
He couldn’t believe that such a small bottle of poison could have such a powerful effect.
To make a person’s heart stop in an instant, such poison was truly amazing!
Although other poisons could do the same, they required specific conditions and time to take effect… Even the well-known “blood seals the throat” required blood.
But this powder, as long as it touched the human body, could take effect immediately.
It was no wonder Kuang Ba Dao Ke was so shocked. Even Yi Dianhong looked surprised, not expecting the medicine powder that Gu Yu took out to be so potent!
If this medicine powder had been used on them back then, then…
While Yi Dianhong trembled, Zhou Wen was the most composed among the three.
Having already witnessed Gu Yu’s abilities, he even looked at Yi Dianhong and the other with a hint of mockery, thinking that this poison was just the tip of the iceberg!
The more he explored Gu Yu, the more terrifying he became.
Zhou Wen was now numb. Even with a huge reward, he dared not make a move against Gu Yu.
Why risk his life when he could follow a big shot and benefit?
Originally, Zhou Wen had wanted to stay far away from Gu Yu, but after Gu Yu kept him by his side, Zhou Wen began to ponder.
Finally, he came to a conclusion.
Perhaps Gu Yu wanted to keep him by his side to train him as a subordinate!
After knowing this, Zhou Wen was silent for a moment, and then became excited!
With Gu Yu, this mountain, as his backing, he, Zhou Wen, could walk sideways in the future!
