Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 568: Chapter 421 Massacre

Gu Changsheng sat inside the carriage and spoke coldly.

”Ah! There’s a woman inside the carriage!”

Outside, an immediate cry of surprise from a guard was soon replaced by disdainful chuckling.

”Haha! Just as I thought, with such an ordinary carriage, it surely isn’t used by a major household!”

”This must be some noble lady from who knows where, coming to Hengtang Lake in hopes of catching the eye of our Prince!”

”Exactly! A bunch of delusional women! What kind of person is our Prince? How could he be matched with such rough weeds? Simply overreaching and unfathomably foolish!”

Si Xi listened and felt that something was off; how had his Lady fallen to the level of one of those women who cling to power and influence?

”How dare you! To show such disrespect to my Lady!” Si Xi, without hesitation, cracked his whip and sternly rebuked them.

His Lady was the treasure of his master’s heart, how could he allow her to be defiled in such a manner?

And what about the Prince, damn it! Which Prince could compare to his master?

”Oh, brave, are we? I’ll be even more presumptuous!” one of the guards, seeing Si Xi’s anger but not taking it seriously, retorted, ”A mere coachman dares to be so arrogant in the presence of a military officer, truly ignorant of the vast gulf between heaven and earth!”

”Today I’ll teach you that crashing Hengtang’s plum blossom banquet uninvited earns you a beating to death with sticks!”

Upon hearing this, Si Xi’s face twitched with rage.

Inside the carriage, Gu Changsheng was seething with fury!

Damn it, did she want to come here? She bloody well couldn’t avoid it, could she? And now that she had arrived, they even had the nerve to intimidate her like this!

”Lady?” Seeing his Lady stand up, enraged, Dong Lei was instantly alarmed and, tugging at her sleeve timidly, he spoke up.

”It’s nothing!” Gu Changsheng reassured Dong Lei with a wave of her hand, then bent over to lift the curtain and step out!

Adorned in a gold-threaded red silk dress, the hem sweeping gracefully, as elegant and ethereal as drifting red clouds, with borders accented by fire fox fur around the large sleeves and neckline, she seemed to be surrounded by blazing flames, radiantly majestic. Her beauty was striking: lips naturally rosy, eyebrows dark without need for pencil, skin like porcelain, delicate enough to shatter with a touch, and her phoenix eyes contained a frosty dignity that commanded respect without words...

Topped with a dot of cinnabar between her brows, making her even more attractively cold and beautiful...

Several guards were instantly struck dumb!

”Wow, a beauty!” The sound of swallowing saliva...

”Truly a beauty! A rare beauty at that! With such presence, such charming features, she even rivals Miss Huo, known as the number one beauty of the Capital City!”

”Yes, indeed! Such a beauty could befit being a concubine for our Prince! Haha...”

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, and the next instant, her crimson sleeve was swung out without hesitation.

”Bang!”

A loud crash echoed as the guard who had suggested she become a mere concubine for some Prince, still wearing a smile on his face, was sent flying backward, only stopping after crashing into a roadside tree, where he managed to steady himself.

”Pfft!”

A spurt of fresh blood followed; the guard’s eyes widened in disbelief as he clutched his chest and coughed ceaselessly, blood staining his hands.

The other guards were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and the surrounding crowd began to gather.

Gu Changsheng’s senses sharpened amidst the chaotic atmosphere.

So many experts!

Though they were adept at concealing their presence, Gu Changsheng could still sense them with ease!

Even though their cultivation was far inferior to hers, the sheer number of them...

Gu Changsheng’s expression grew even darker as she looked down at the guards now petrified as if turned to stone, and spoke with an icy voice, ”Speaking such madness! You’re asking for death!”

”You! You!”

Seeing the formidable beauty before them, the guards recoiled in shock, instinctively retreating a step.

”You dare to harm our men!” One guard, braving his fear and pointing his long spear at the carriage, exclaimed.

”Harm your men? If you hadn’t harassed and blasphemed, would I have needed to lift a finger?” Standing atop the carriage shaft, Gu Changsheng looked down disdainfully upon them and snapped, ”This is Great Zhou, do you think you can run wild here?”

If the soldiers of Liuzhou had treated her so, she would not have been so lenient!

It was just that the soldiers of Liuzhou all belonged to the evildoer, and no one had ever shown her the slightest disrespect!

”Rebellion! This is rebellion! Help! Someone, help!”

This shout from the head guard caused Gu Changsheng’s expression to change, for she felt the number of those gathering around was increasing!

Moreover, many were martial arts practitioners!

A veritable ambush! Indeed worthy of being called such! And she hadn’t even fully entered yet before this grand spectacle was laid before her!

What the heck was Zhou Mu planning, allowing so many soldiers from the Three Kingdoms to station in Liuzhou City?

Wasn’t this just asking for trouble? Didn’t he know that she was now a target on par with the Mandated Noble Lady Huo Shuixian, that little bitch?

Looking around at the quickly gathered crowd of over a hundred, all armored and armed, on full alert, Gu Changsheng’s face revealed a sardonic smile. Her lips slightly curved, she surveyed the crowd and slowly spoke, ”Are you intending to bully with numbers without distinction of right and wrong? Very well then, very well!”

”Enough talk! You dared to intrude on Hengtang’s plum blossom banquet and hurt the checking soldiers. All of you, listen to the order: execute without mercy!” A commanding officer, face stormy and voice grave, issued the command, his eyes flickering with determined malice.

In red! She liked to wear red! It was her!

They were waiting for her!

”What a bold move to kill on sight! You scared the hell out of me!” Gu Changsheng said coldly, immediately rebuking, ”Let’s see if you have the ability then!”

Fuck! Didn’t anyone think to ask if she had an invitation? They just went straight to blocking her path!

And now, fuck, it’s escalated directly to killing on sight!

If this was coincidence, Gu Changsheng would rather take off his head and kick it around like a ball!

Damn it!

Which country is this?

”Charge!”

The people surrounding her clearly didn’t give Gu Changsheng much time, as they attacked without saying a word.

”Si Xi, stand back!” Gu Changsheng’s expression turned icy as she commanded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Si Xi immediately retreated to the door of the carriage, considering it was better to keep an eye on things—there was still Dong Lei inside, skilled with the blade!

”I hate it most when people shout and scream about killing me. Since you wish to die, then come at me, and don’t blame me for adding a dash of red to this plum-viewing banquet!” Gu Changsheng looked at the countless spears thrust at her from all directions, her murderous aura surged instantly, and with a loud shout, her figure shot up from the ground!

Ever since she had acquired this internal strength, she hadn’t truly shown its power. Now, it was time to test the so-called sixty-year cultivation that allowed one to roam unchallenged in the Itinerant World and see just how domineering it really was!

The people charging at the carriage felt a blur before their eyes, and the woman standing on the shaft disappeared without a trace. Their long spears lost their target, and when they came to their senses, they felt an overwhelming strength rushing straight at them!

Mid-air, Gu Changsheng raised her palm and struck down at the soldiers who were aiming their spears at her precious horse!

”Boom!”

With a loud noise, the soldiers around the precious horse were sent flying in all directions.

Damn, these fools who cannot recognize Mount Tai—as if her horse looked dull and inconspicuous and was therefore unworthy? It was a Sweat-Blood Precious Horse! It was an evildoer that had been found in Saibei and given to her after being tamed!

Gravity pulled her down, even as Gu Changsheng used her inner strength to leap upward, her form started descending after delivering the palm strike.

Seeing this, the leading general ignored his own injured soldiers and shouted out loud, ”What an impressive Gu Changsheng, let’s see how long you can hold out! Charge!”

Gu Changsheng, in mid-air, felt a chill in her heart upon hearing this, her face turning even darker.

”You know my name and yet you’re not afraid of becoming a wronged ghost! Since you’re courting death, I won’t be polite!” A smirk of mockery appeared on her lips as Gu Changsheng’s figure dove rapidly towards the long spears thrusting up from below.

The onlookers from afar instinctively gasped at the sight of the red figure plummeting swiftly.

From such a height, one would be half-dead from the fall, let alone the fact that it was full of blades underneath!

It was a near-certain death!

”She’s dead, she’s really dead this time!”

”That one... that red dress!”

”Godfather! That’s Lady Changsheng!”

”Lady Changsheng! Be careful!”

”Be careful!”

The people who recognized Gu Changsheng from afar, cried out in alarm, their faces filled with shock.

Just as Gu Changsheng was about to fall into the spears, the leading general’s eyes gleamed with joy!

He was going to rise in rank! Killing Gu Changsheng, his promotion was just around the corner!

As the hem of her dress nearly touched the sharp edges of the weapons, Gu Changsheng saw the leading man’s face filled with smug satisfaction. Curving her lips into a mocking smile, in a flash, her red dress fluttered, and using the force of the spear thrusts, her figure soared into the air again.

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

In mid-air, the red dress flared like fire, elegantly whirling. The continuous sounds of impact left the distant onlookers stunned as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded!

In the blink of an eye, two-thirds of the guards surrounding the carriage were gone!

”Godfather!”

”My goodness!”

”Is this even human?”

”...”

Seeing the few remaining guards standing on the ground, and the rapidly approaching figures in bright yellow, Gu Changsheng tapped her left toe on her right, leveraging her own momentum, and gently descended towards the top of the carriage.

”Boom!”

With this palm strike, the few remaining guards in the direction of the approaching figures in bright yellow, predictably spat out blood and were thrown backwards.

Seeing his guards sent flying, the newcomer’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly dodged to one side. Turning back, he saw that those few guards had already stopped breathing, lying motionless on the ground.

Even knowing that reinforcements had arrived, Gu Changsheng showed no intention of stopping. She struck another palm strike to one side and spoke coldly, ”How dare foreign soldiers act so arrogantly in Liuzhou City. If you want my life, you’ll have to pay with your own!”

As more soldiers fell to the ground, never to rise again, blood spreading out in pools and streaming into rivers, the newcomer’s face flashed with a grim intent to kill. He said in a deep voice, ”Gu Changsheng! Stop right there!”
