Chapter 858: Chapter 859: Have You Forgotten What I Taught You?
As he thought about it, Gu Shijie’s smile at the corner of his mouth became increasingly arrogant.
Suddenly, Qin Sijue’s chilly voice rose in the serene night, laden with endless fury!
"It seems, the lesson I gave you last time wasn’t enough?"
Gu Shijie let out a sneer, "Yes, it’s unfortunate you didn’t kill me with one blow. Today, I will make you pay a painful price for everything you’ve done!"
Facing his naked threat, Qin Sijue remained unmoved and even mustered a cold smirk, "Really? You should know that this phrase is always meant for others by me, and you, you are not qualified to use it."
Gu Shijie certainly knew of his towering authority, but he also knew his only weak spot was Gu Qiangwei.
With her around, would he dare to make a rash move?
"Really? Then I will show you whether I am qualified or not!"
As he spoke, the dagger in his hand pressed harder against Gu Qiangwei’s neck, as bloodstains began to seep from the cut and trickle down.
"Ugh!" Due to the pain, Gu Qiangwei instinctively furrowed her brows.
Across her, Qin Sijue’s dark eyes turned increasingly bloodthirsty, as if they were burning with raging fires! Veins on his forehead began to swell with anger!
He clenched his fists tightly, at that moment wishing only to personally slay Gu Shijie, tearing him into pieces!
But seeing the dagger pressed against Gu Qiangwei’s neck, he could only temporarily suppress his rage. To save Qiangwei, he needed to be strategic, not forceful.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you!?"
His sudden words left Gu Qiangwei, who was under threat, somewhat confused.
But soon, she realized the implications of his words. Her dark, clear pupils suddenly tightened!
Gu Shijie frowned slightly, apparently sensing something from his sudden words.
"Thinking of playing tricks? I’ll make you regret it—"
He couldn’t finish his sentence when suddenly he felt his foot being fiercely stepped on, causing him to furrow his brows in pain!
Not giving him any chance to breathe, Gu Qiangwei quickly raised her hand, tightly grabbed the arm that Gu Shijie was using to press the blade against her neck, pulled it as far away from her neck as possible, and then with a nimble over-the-shoulder throw, she slammed the emaciated Gu Shijie to the ground!
"Ugh!"
Thrown heavily to the ground, Gu Shijie instinctively groaned.
Gu Qiangwei knew this throw wouldn’t make him surrender, so, planning to capitalize on her victory, she aimed to completely subdue him.
However, just as she was about to strike again, Gu Shijie’s dagger swung up, aiming once more at her—
"Be careful!"
Qin Sijue, still a few meters away, swiftly rushed over, attempting to pull her away just in the nick of time.
However, Gu Shijie had already grabbed Gu Qiangwei’s wrist at some point, then his mouth curled into a sinister smile as he mercilessly stabbed the knife toward Gu Qiangwei’s chest!
"Whoosh—"
"Sijue!"
Seeing the dagger blocked by Qin Sijue’s arm, Gu Qiangwei cried out in shock!
Yet Qin Sijue had no time to feel the pain; he immediately grabbed the handle of the knife from Gu Shijie’s hand, and with the speed of lightning, he forced his hand toward his own neck, killing him instantly!
The entire action was executed seamlessly in less than two seconds.
Watching Gu Shijie die from his throat being slit, Gu Qiangwei was still somewhat shocked, standing there dazed, staring at the wide-eyed but now lifeless Gu Shijie.
