Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 251: Gu Yuexi Wants to Break Her Contract with Chu Sheng?
Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Gu Yuexi Wants to Break Her Contract with Chu Sheng?
A trickle of crimson blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Gu Yuexi’s mouth.
Her back was instantly soaked in blood, which spread out like a crimson flower!
A semi-transparent figure shot past Gu Yuexi in a blur!
This person was the very assassin who had arrived on Hong Kong Island ten days ago: Ghost, ranked fourth on the Hell Gate’s assassin list.
Ghost’s Cultivation wasn’t considered particularly high, but his mission completion rate was one hundred percent.
He was able to achieve this success rate because, aside from not accepting targets whose Cultivation far exceeded his own, there were two other important reasons—
His Assassin Dao!
And his elusive Space Travel ability!
Inside the cabin, everything happened in just 0.01 seconds.
At the 0.02-second mark.
A sky full of Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers erupted, flying toward the shadow.
The flight speed of the Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers could already be considered extremely fast, but for Ghost, who possessed a Spatial Ability, it was still too slow!
Ghost’s semi-transparent body turned completely invisible.
A triumphant smile touched the corner of his lips as his body was about to vanish into thin air.
He knew he had succeeded.
The target, Gu Yuexi, the Future Empress, would surely die!
But, just 0.001 seconds before his body used Instant Teleportation, a jet-black flame suddenly ignited on his face!
The Celestial Flame!
“AHHH!!”
Ghost let out an extremely pained scream, but at the same time, his figure completely vanished from the cabin.
All of the actions described above happened in less than a second, not even half a second!
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!
Countless Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers missed their target, striking the cabin’s floor and walls and piercing deep into them.
Chu Sheng didn’t pursue Ghost. Instead, he quickly turned his gaze to Gu Yuexi.
The corners of Gu Yuexi’s mouth were crimson, and her face was pale.
But, a profoundly dark, black energy was gathering between her brows.
“BZZ BZZ?”
He pulled out several top-tier Healing Elixirs from his Lifebound Space and shoved them directly into Gu Yuexi’s mouth.
The Elixirs melted the moment they entered her mouth. Any one of these pills had the power to bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh on bones! Gu Yuexi’s physical injuries began to heal at an extremely rapid rate.
But the dark, black energy refused to dissipate. It even began to spread outward from between her eyebrows!
In no time, Gu Yuexi’s entire body was shrouded in a layer of black, deathly energy.
At the same time, the others on the ship also sensed that something was wrong.
Ye Qingzhou was the first to burst through the door, his Emperor Level pressure instantly enveloping the entire cabin. When he saw Gu Yuexi’s condition, his pupils contracted.
“What’s going on?”
“Could this be… poison!”
“That’s right. It’s Soul-Extinguishing Powder.”
Gu Yuexi opened her eyes and weakly breathed out the words.
From the very start of the assassination attempt, she knew she had been poisoned! Because she knew Chu Sheng was there, she hadn’t counterattacked at all. Instead, she had immediately begun to suppress the poison’s effects.
But she never expected the poison to be Soul-Extinguishing Powder! To be precise, it was Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Powder!
The moment it entered her body, the poison spread throughout her entire Bloodline and even attempted to corrode her mental Sea of Consciousness!
Right now, Gu Yuexi was only using a Secret Technique to temporarily guard a sliver of clarity in her Sea of Consciousness.
“Soul-Extinguishing Powder?!”
Behind Ye Qingzhou, Chen Shouzheng and the others had just arrived. Hearing that name, they froze on the spot!
“Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Powder? The legendary ultimate poison that can even kill a Ninth-Grade Powerhouse?!”
The entire cabin fell deathly silent.
The several Patriarchs looked at each other, seeing the shock in one another’s eyes.
Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Powder. A terrifying poison whose name alone struck fear into people’s hearts.
Anyone below King-level would die upon contact. Even a King-level expert would be half-dead if afflicted by this poison.
“It’s over…”
a Patriarch murmured. “This is the poison personally invented by the Poison Emperor in his youth!”
“What on earth happened? How did Gu Yuexi suddenly get poisoned!”
“If even a Ninth-Grade can’t withstand it, doesn’t that mean she’s certain to die…?”
“What do we do? Gu Yuexi just performed a great service for our Great Xia. To think that before she could even get back to Hong Kong Island, this would happen…”
“Dammit! City Lord Ye is at the Emperor Realm. I wonder if he’s confident he can deal with this poison!”
Everyone pinned their hopes on Ye Qingzhou.
Even Gu Yuexi looked over.
Because she, too, had no way to deal with this poison.
It was a poison she had only heard of in her previous life, but never encountered.
Her Secret Technique could only suppress it temporarily. If not for the Secret Technique, she would have already fallen unconscious!
But even for her, the duration of suppression was extremely short.
In less than half an hour, the poison would corrode her Sea of Consciousness! If her Sea of Consciousness were to be completely invaded, there would only be one outcome:
Death.
Even for someone like her, Gu Yuexi, it would be no different.
Inside the cabin, Ye Qingzhou let out a long sigh.
His expression had been grim ever since he entered. He had personally seen an old friend afflicted with Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Powder once. In less than ten minutes, the friend had stopped breathing and died, beyond any hope of saving.
He never thought he would see this poison again in his lifetime.
He shook his head, his voice hoarse.
“Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Powder… unless the Poison Emperor himself is here, it is… incurable!”
The Poison Emperor himself?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then fell silent once again.
Ye Qingzhou’s words were tantamount to declaring Gu Yuexi’s death sentence. No one knew how many years it had been since the Poison Emperor last appeared. How could he possibly show up here all of a sudden?
Gu Yuexi’s expression dimmed as if she understood.
’In this life, since my rebirth, I’ve grown faster.
But the crises I’ve encountered have also been greater. If it weren’t for the mosquito, I would have nearly perished several times.
It seems I was too hasty, and now I’m finally paying the price.
I, Gu Yuexi, am not someone who fears death, but I can’t accept this.’
Thinking of the mosquito, Gu Yuexi turned her head to look at Chu Sheng, and a question immediately came to her mind.
’If I really die this time from this Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Powder, won’t the mosquito be implicated and die with me?
Even now, I haven’t reached Fifth-Grade and haven’t formed a contract with a second Contracted Beast. Before contracting a second beast, the Master and the first Contracted Beast share the same fate—life and death are bound together!
No!
After spending so much time together, even though that damn mosquito sometimes infuriates me to death, we’ve begun to form a bond.
The mosquito has already saved me so many times.
It’s an existence even more heaven-defying than I am. With its talent, it will definitely advance to the Emperor Realm in the future, and perhaps even take that step beyond.
There’s no reason for it to perish here because of me.
Recalling the moment I first contracted this damn mosquito, I thought it would drag me down. I never expected that now, I would be the one dragging it down.’
As Gu Yuexi thought of this, a trace of resolve suddenly appeared in her eyes.
’I am the dignified Empress. Even in death, I cannot be a burden to others.
While I can still mobilize my Mental Power, I must force it to the Fifth-Grade level and contract a second Contracted Beast.
And then… break the contract!’
