Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 421: Chapter 286: Insisting on Staying Till the Fifth Update Chapter 421: Chapter 286: Insisting on Staying Till the Fifth Update Futu Demoness had spoken words before that Gu Changsheng couldn’t clearly hear, but the last sentence was exceptionally clear to him.

As he watched Futu Demoness collapse onto the ground with a tilt of her neck, Gu Changsheng’s heart suddenly fluttered.

For someone like Futu Demoness, who had dedicated her life to the study of Gu techniques and had trained her martial arts to such an unearthly level, she was surely counted among the few in her era.

“Wife, what did Futu Demoness say at the end?”

Si Xi and the others kept some distance from Gu Changsheng, thus they only saw Futu Demoness’s lips move but couldn’t hear her voice.

But they clearly saw his wife’s moment of distraction just now…

“It’s nothing!” Gu Changsheng waved his hand in response, his gaze still lingering on his own scalpel.

With the death of Futu Demoness, her Life-and-Death Gu had now turned into a dark brown stiff worm…

If this Gu insect truly did as Futu Demoness wished, burrowing into her body…

Gu Changsheng thought about this and couldn’t help shivering.

Life and Death Gu, as the name implies, implies that the Gu insect and the Gu Cultivation Master will live and die together; the person cursed with the gu and the Gu Cultivation Master will also share life and death…

Looking at Futu Demoness, who had already breathed her last, Gu Changsheng’s face showed a hint of solemnity.

Clearly, the Life and Death Gu was Futu Demoness’s last resort, and since it was the final move, chances of failure were supposed to be small.

Not only was Futu Demoness shocked, but so was Gu Changsheng himself.

She could clearly feel the wound on her shoulder where Futu Demoness’s fingertip had sliced open, just as Futu Demoness said, the Life and Death Gu melts upon contact with blood, but why didn’t the Gu insect merge into her own body?

Daughter? What daughter?

Who would want to kill her, after all?

In that instant, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt his mind was in turmoil, thinking that if he couldn’t understand something, then he shouldn’t think about it. Regardless of whether Futu Demoness was making a vicious declaration with her dying breath, Gu Changsheng, with his let-it-be nature, would rather face practical challenges head-on than wrack his brains here for something he couldn’t fathom.

“Damn it! Huo Shuixian, better not let me run into you again, or I’ll show you!”

With a resentful curse, Gu Changsheng, who survived a calamity, finally found his strength and stood up, slowly walking towards the body of Futu Demoness.

“Wife!”

Si Xi and the others exclaimed in unison.

Their dread of Futu Demoness hadn’t diminished just because she was dead…

Such a peerless master was indeed someone to be respected and avoided, especially since she was an expert in using Gu!

Gu, this unique and mystical thing from Miaojiang, has always been awe-inspiring!

“Relax, she’s dead through and through; even if she’s a centipede, she’s nearly stiff. What’s there to fear?” Gu Changsheng scoffed coldly, reaching out to grab Futu Demoness’s hand.

In the eyes of everyone staring dumbfounded, Gu Changsheng swiftly moved his scalpel and chopped off Futu Demoness’s index finger.

The scene was too bloody for most to watch directly.

But everyone present had seen life and death, had been seasoned through slaughter on battlefields, so they were in fact not frightened by it.

Gu Changsheng took the severed index finger in his hand, examined it briefly, and then impatiently threw it aside.

“Not this one!”

Having thrown away the finger, Gu Changsheng quickly gripped Futu Demoness’s other intact hand.

The once world-beating Futu Demoness, now resting in death, could only be manipulated by others.

“Everyone close to me was hurt by you, Futu Demoness, leaving your entire body intact is too generous!” This time Gu Changsheng wasn’t in a rush to act but carefully examined the intact left hand of Futu Demoness.

“Fingertips connect to the heart, and the index finger is closest to the heart. Which finger did you use to harvest Heartblood for feeding those Gu insects? The fate of my dear Nian hinges on these ten fingers of yours!” As Gu Changsheng spoke, he carefully scrutinized the intact left hand of Futu Demoness, not missing a single detail.

Suddenly, a glint of joy appeared in Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

“What a cunning old Futu Demoness!” Gu Changsheng cursed softly, his hand moving the scalpel quickly, chopping off the index finger of Futu Demoness’s left hand.

With the severed finger in hand, Gu Changsheng didn’t even blink an eye as he quickly dashed in the direction where Borjigin Nian and Tan Nv were.

Inwardly, Gu Changsheng cursed Futu Demoness thoroughly; damn, she was truly too cunning and too harsh on herself!

There were no obvious marks on Futu Demoness’s finger, but there were needle pricks where the fingernail met the flesh. If not because Gu Changsheng was meticulous, he wouldn’t have noticed it!
