The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1586 - 765 New Legend (second update)

Master Qingfeng Daoist completely exploded—

...

The rain poured down in torrents.

The Black Demon Horse relentlessly pursued through the pounding rainstorm.

It was young, it had plenty of strength to spare, and an endurance superior to that of an ordinary warhorse.

Without showing any sign of fatigue, it galloped fiercely, leaving the Songshan Mountain far behind.

Thunder failed to halt its pace; it was like the bravest warrior, relentlessly chasing down its enemy without regard for the consequences.

"Still not fast enough..." the warrior grasped the reins tightly, wiping the rain off his face.

They had charged for nearly a hundred li, yet the Black Demon Horse showed no significant signs of fatigue. He had never seen such a formidable warhorse, but the speed had to increase even more.

The warrior took out the pills given by Lord Han the Fifth and fed one to the Black Demon Horse.

The ebbing strength of the Black Demon Horse rapidly restored, and its speed increased a notch further.

Finally, after passing through another small forest, the warrior heard the sound of horse hooves coming from ahead.

A surge of joy rose in the warrior’s heart—it must be Xiao Liulang, it must be!

By then, the sky had already turned dark, the whole world enveloped in a massive downpour.

Riding at night in the rain is a dangerous affair, with cavalry’s vision obstructed, relying more on the warhorse’s perception.

Ordinary warhorses would slow down, partly because riders would demand it, and partly because horses have an instinct to avoid danger.

However, the Black Wind King did not slow down.

In the night rain, it became a streak of lightning.

The warrior listened to the horse hooves growing fainter, gritting his teeth: "Damn it! I was about to catch up, why does it seem like the distance is getting larger again!"

"Giddyup!"

"Giddyup!"

The warrior pushed the speed to the limit, and at long last, once again caught up with the Black Wind King—this time, their distance improbably close.

The warrior drew his longsword from his waist; with one strike, he could severely injure Xiao Liulang!

The Black Wind King panted as it ran, its muscles taut, its lines flowing.

Just as the warrior’s sword was about to strike, the horse suddenly veered to the right, plunging into the forked road ahead!

"Dammit!"

The warrior’s sword cut through air.

And because he did not anticipate the Black Wind King’s sudden change in direction, he couldn’t pull the reins in time to stop and just charged straight past.

It was also the fault of the Black Demon Horse for being too fast.

In the blink of an eye, they had dashed a hundred feet away.

Turning around and pursuing the Black Wind King down the forked road would likely render them even less likely to catch up.

"Forget it, once you leave the forked road, you still have to return to the Official Road! I’ll wait for you up ahead!"

Yet the Black Wind King didn’t give him the opportunity to intercept; when it returned to the Official Road, it was just a horse’s length away, but it managed to dash ahead!

"Still didn’t catch up!" The warrior was so angry that his entire being felt wrong!

Wasn’t it an old horse?

How could it run like this!

However, the road ahead was not smooth either; other guards from the Han Family were stationed at the intersection.

They heard the urgent sound of horse hooves splashing through the rain, drew their longswords one after another, and spread out in a line to block the entire Official Road.

They were in full battle readiness.

Without the slightest hesitation, like breaking through mountains and rivers, the Black Wind King charged through and dispersed the Han Family guards’ blockade!

Two Han Family guards were directly thrown into the air!

It was too fast!

The power was too ferocious!

This was not the Black Wind King they knew!

The Black Wind King wasn’t this powerful!

A guard captain, watching the direction in which the rider and horse disappeared, bellowed, "Cut the ropes for me!"

Ahead was Suo Bridge!

The guards guarding the bridge promptly drew their swords and severed the ropes at the end of the bridge!

The wooden bridge broke apart, its remnants crashing against the cliff wall with intense noise.

There was a distance of a full ten feet between the two cliffs—no warhorse could ever leap across it!

However, the guards were astonished to find that the Black Wind King was not slowing down!

"What is it trying to do?"

"It can’t possibly want to jump across! It’s courting death!"

"Has the rider gone mad? Why isn’t he stopping it?"

"Hey!" A guard shouted at Gu Jiao’s retreating figure, "Your horse is about to jump off the cliff! You better pull it back right now!"

They couldn’t let Gu Jiao jump!

They hadn’t yet obtained the secret letter on her!

If Gu Jiao fell off the cliff, Lord Han the Fifth would fail his mission!

"You stop!"

"You’ll die!"

They sincerely wanted to prevent Gu Jiao from hurtling down the cliff to her death.

Gu Jiao’s eyes couldn’t see, but her perception remained.

She heard the sound of the bridge breaking and felt the fierce cold wind from the abyss.

But she didn’t stop the Black Wind King.

The Black Wind King was accelerating.

She casually wiped the blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, gripped the reins tightly, squeezed her legs against the horse’s flanks, and stood up slightly in the stirrups, hovering her body above.
