The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1683 - 818 Dark Soul’s Death (First Update)

Dark Soul’s force was fast and fierce, even without a longbow, it was much faster than ordinary hidden weapons.

The archer noticed this expert’s movements. The arrow seemed to be aimed at the little eunuch beside him, but it would also injure him.

But the arrow was too fast!

It couldn’t be dodged!

The archer’s body stiffened in place.

Gu Jiao grabbed him and quickly flashed to the side!

Two arrows shot past where they had been crouching on the roof, with such force that they nailed into the eaves behind them, slicing off a piece of the eaves!

The archer saw this scene and swallowed hard. He couldn’t imagine if it wasn’t for the little eunuch’s quick reaction, his head would have been taken off.

Dark Soul’s main objective was to rescue the Han Family. Those two arrows were both a warning for Gu Jiao and to buy time for his rescue.

He did not continue to tangle with Gu Jiao, instead, he took the Han Family and broke through the encirclement under Han Fu and others’ escort.

Gu Jiao wouldn’t let him leave so easily!

In the three-year-long civil unrest in the dream, the instigator was the Han Family, but Dark Soul also played a significant role. Many noble families attempted to assassinate the Han Family, but all failed due to Dark Soul’s interference.

To kill the Han Family, one must first deal with Dark Soul!

Gu Jiao grabbed a longbow: "Give me the arrow quiver!"

"Yes!" The archer immediately handed over the arrow quiver on his back to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao took the quiver and swiftly ran in the direction where the Han Family and Dark Soul were leaving from the rooftop.

The archer suddenly realized, wait, why did I just say "yes"?

He’s just a little eunuch, why did I obey his orders?

Even obediently handed over my bow and arrows?

"Hey—be careful!"

Damn it!

What I meant to say was—give it back to me!

How did it change when I said it?

On the ground, a steady stream of soldiers from the Duwei Prefecture and the Wang Family surged in. Dark Soul, taking the Han Family, did not move easily, and once he used his lightness skill to rise, he became a living target exposed under Gu Jiao’s eyes.

At first, Dark Soul didn’t realize how precise Gu Jiao’s archery was. Who would have thought that the first time he used the lightness skill, his sleeve was pierced by Gu Jiao’s arrow!

Dark Soul’s brow furrowed, and before Gu Jiao could shoot a second arrow, he struck a fierce palm towards Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao had already anticipated his counterattack and dodged right after releasing the first arrow, never intending to shoot a second.

This is called anticipating your anticipation.

Gu Jiao rolled on the rooftop, seemingly evading, but actually drawing her bow, and in the instant of steadying her posture on one knee, an arrow left the string and suddenly shot a key member of the Han Family!

He screamed and fell to the ground. The Forbidden Army soldier ahead of him turned around upon hearing the noise and only then realized that the man had been about to ambush him with a sword.

He glanced at the little eunuch on the rooftop who had saved his life, nodding gratefully, and then threw himself more vigorously into the fight against the enemy.

Gu Jiao continued to pursue Dark Soul.

In terms of martial arts, Gu Jiao, who had not yet fully recovered her strength, was no match for Dark Soul. But with her superb archery, even someone as strong as Dark Soul was suppressed by Gu Jiao’s archery.

This was something Dark Soul had not expected.

He thought the boy was just a rising star in the Black Wind Camp, not realizing he was a natural-born archer of immense strength.

This lad...seems born for the battlefield!

Dark Soul no longer jumped to become a living target for Gu Jiao. He took the Han Family and fought his way out from the ground.

Gu Jiao couldn’t kill him, so she aimed at the Han Family’s key members.

As Han Fu fought, he gradually sensed something was wrong. When he turned around, he found that all the key members surrounding him had been shot!

Han Fu’s first reaction was, are the Wang Family’s archers this formidable? If he had known, the Han Family should have taken control of the Archery Camp back then!

However, the next second, he realized it wasn’t the Wang Family’s archers who had killed so many key members of the Han Family; it was the little eunuch who had escorted the king into the palace!

Sweat poured down, washing off Gu Jiao’s disguise.

Han Fu saw the red birthmark on her left cheek, his eyes trembled: "Xiao Liulang!"

As a key member of the Han Family, he had gnashing teeth towards the new commander of the Black Wind Camp. Not only did he see the person during the selection, but he had also seen Gu Jiao’s portrait in private.

This person was simply the Han Family’s nightmare!

After injuring a Forbidden Army soldier with one slash, Han Fu planned to run along the eaves towards Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao ignored him.

Her opponent wasn’t him.

Wang Xu leapt forward and blocked Han Fu with his sword: "Han, don’t think you can escape!"
