Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 416: Chapter 283: Formidable Enemy Attacks, Line Between Life and Death Chapter 416: Chapter 283: Formidable Enemy Attacks, Line Between Life and Death “The approaching person’s presence is steady yet powerful–undoubtedly a master,”

Tan Nv’s unique accent of the Foreign Tribe resonated as she suddenly appeared in black clothes, standing not far in front of Gu Changsheng.

Ning Er and Si Xi also stood by Gu Changsheng’s side, their faces marked with vigilance.

Seeing all three of them as if braced for a fierce battle, Gu Changsheng turned and with a wave dismissed the incoming Kun Nu, “Stay here and protect Foster Father!”

She had an intuition that the person was coming for her!

Kun Nu, startled by her words, immediately shook his head and firmly replied, “Kun Nu is tasked to protect the lady; I will disregard all others!”

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng felt extremely anxious.

“Gu Changsheng, now is not the time to hesitate. Aside from the sequestered Yue Xilou, all the martial experts in the residence are here. If the intruder breaches our defense, no one in your residence will be spared!” Borjigin Nian grabbed Gu Changsheng’s hand urgently and spoke with a grave expression.

The temperature from his hand brought Gu Changsheng back from her anxious state.

The newcomer was stronger than any opponent she had faced before! Even the assassin she had encountered on Baili Mountain was not in the same league!

Gu Changsheng, who had an extraordinary sensitivity to danger, merely sensing the person’s aura from afar, knew that even Zhou Mu might not come out unscathed against this individual.

It was a powerful aura that evoked a primal fear, carrying with it the scent of catastrophic destruction!

“Nian, leave! Immediately! The person is coming for me, staying here does you no good!” Gu Changsheng looked at the four guarded people around her, knowing it was impossible to ask them to leave. Yet Borjigin Nian, who had no blood or familial ties with her, had no reason to be implicated!

Borjigin Nian, eyes filled with a flicker of rage, gripped Gu Changsheng’s struggling hand tighter and vehemently said, “My Qiyan Tribe’s Borjigin clan hasn’t had a deserter in a thousand years! I, Borjigin Nian, am certainly not someone who would abandon a friend in need!”

Gu Changsheng, shocked, looked into the deep and soulful eyes before her, a flash of determination in her own as she firmly squeezed Borjigin Nian’s hand back, “If so, then we shall live and die together!”

Borjigin Nian nodded resolutely.

“Are your farewells done? Once they are, this old body will send you on your way!”

An indifferent voice came from afar, shadowy and carrying an infinite aura.

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up immediately.

Gu Changsheng acted swiftly, her knife cutting through the air, positioned defensively as a murderous aura enveloped her. Her voice cold as ice, she said, “May I know which senior visits the Gu Residence in the dead of night and for what purpose?”

“Haha…”

With a disdainful laugh, a figure slowly appeared within their line of sight. Though her feet touched the ground, she seemed to glide like a ghost.

The moment Gu Changsheng saw her face, she was filled with the determination to fight a desperate battle.

The fact that the visitor didn’t even bother to cover her face showed her confidence; she believed she could eliminate them!

“My lady, run!”

As Tan Nv recognized the visitor’s face, she immediately turned back and yelled sharply.

This was the first time Gu Changsheng clearly saw the eyes of Tan Nv–chaotic eyes without whites, the whole eye consumed by brown irises, eerie and mysterious!

“Scary!”

Borjigin Nian, upon seeing Tan Nv’s eyes, got scared and pulled Gu Changsheng back by one step.

“Run!” Tan Nv cried out again, the urgency in her voice unmistakable.

Gu Changsheng shook her head in horror, seeing in Tan Nv’s eyes a firm belief in their impending death.

“Hehe… the Ghost Child Tan Nv, who was famous in the Itinerant World fifteen years ago? I didn’t expect even you to be by her side…” The visitor spoke lightly, her tone full of disdain.

“Who exactly are you?” Gu Changsheng stared at the newcomer and asked with furrowed brows.

Zhou Mu’s Secret Guards were naturally skilled, and it was rare to encounter a weak opponent in this world today. The fact that all of them were so wary indicated the formidable strength of the visitor!

“She is the Futu Demoness, who over twenty years ago went on a killing spree, provoking the Eight Major Sects and the Twelve Great Powers to join forces to hunt her down until she vanished from the public’s view. It is said that she has thin lips like paper and fierce eyes like blades–that’s her!” Tan Nv turned back, her complexion ashen.

Now, even if they wanted to flee, there was no chance…

“Haha… It’s rare that people still remember the name Futu from old times…” The Futu Demoness laughed scornfully, her thin lips curling, “That’s right, I will let you all die knowing–It is indeed Futu. Gu Changsheng, will you not come forth and embrace death?”

Gu Changsheng silently listened to Tan Nv’s explanation, her face as dark as ink. Thoughts raced through her eyes, and she spoke darkly, “What is your relationship with Huo Shuixian? Since you’ve come, why don’t you dare to show your true face?”
