Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 581: Chapter 433: Killing Oneself to Become a Demon

Gu Changsheng, completely unaware, retracted her dagger and pointed at the soldier not far in front of her, taking another step forward.

She didn’t know! She didn’t know why she was able to stimulate her inner strength at its source, yet didn’t go mad with power!

She also didn’t know why a child’s voice echoed in her mind like a shadow!

And she knew even less about any seal!

But she knew that now, the only thing that could help her was this voice in her head!

”Ghost... Ghost ah!”

”Ghost!”

”Ghost!”

The next moment, the soldier before her suddenly retreated in panic as if he had seen a ghost!

The cinnabar mark between her brows was changing visibly at an observable rate...

A pattern that looked like a burning flame centered around the red dot slowly appeared on her forehead...

The flame was burning brightly, with an intense light...

”Oh no! Why is this seal planted right on top of my home! I don’t want to move out...”

The small unhappy voice in her head rang out, and Gu Changsheng had no time to worry about it, for she could feel that the massive inner strength within her body was starting to take shape, slowly but surely becoming available for her to command...

Compared to that, the cycle of sixty years of inner strength gained from Flower Peacock was nothing more than a drop in the ocean!

Who on earth had sealed such a vast amount of inner strength within her body?

”Whoever you are, I thank you!” Gu Changsheng murmured softly, her long sleeves fluttering as she turned to charge at the enemy.

”Benefactor Changsheng! One becomes a demon by killing! Today’s calamity is fated by heaven, their deaths are a part of the cycle of life and death. You must not go on a killing spree because of this!” a small hand adorned with Buddha beads grabbed hold of Gu Changsheng’s blood-red sleeve.

Little Monk Bu Jie spoke urgently with a tense face, shaking his head at Gu Changsheng, who turned to look back.

”Fate? Ha ha...” Gu Changsheng laughed out loud when she heard this, tears still wet on her face while her eyes gleamed with bloodlust, ”I don’t believe in heaven! I don’t believe in fate! The only thing I believe in is myself! I should have been the one to die! Yet they were the ones who suffered because of me!”

”If heaven has no compassion, how can it expect everyone to become a Buddha on the spot! I can’t do it! I’d rather become a demon through killing! I will use their heads to mourn the souls of Ning Er and the others!”

”Benefactor Changsheng!” Little Monk Bu Jie grasped the hem of Gu Changsheng’s sleeve, trying to dissuade her.

”Step back!” Gu Changsheng shouted coldly, her sleeves whipping out!

The next moment, Little Monk Bu Jie was sent flying toward where Yue Xilou was.

”Shang Xie! Are you alright?” Borjigin Nian cried out anxiously upon seeing this.

She always felt that Gu Changsheng must have become possessed!

There was a sense of recklessness!

”The monk is unharmed!” Little Monk Bu Jie steadied himself, showing a trace of pity on his kind, benevolent face, ”The royal blood of the Southern Border has manifested in this world...”

”What on earth are you talking about? First a king, now an emperor! Muttering to yourself like that, do you really think it’s interesting?” Borjigin Nian, barely understanding, huffed coldly and turned her eyes back to the battlefield.

The moment Little Monk Bu Jie was blown back by Gu Changsheng’s sleeve wind, she charged into the midst of the enemy...

”Oh my God!” Borjigin Nian stared at the scene before her, speechless and swallowing hard in fear, ”Is she... Has she really gone mad with power?”

What was happening was not a killing!

It was clearly a butchering!

Gu Changsheng, in her red garments, whirled about, her Red Blade ensuring that wherever it swept, soldiers would fall, drenched in the color of blood...

It was clearly a slaughter!

A cruel and inhumane slaughter!

The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms didn’t even have the slightest ability to resist. They couldn’t even touch the edge of Gu Changsheng’s clothes!

”Her inner strength seems inexhaustible...” Yue Xilou murmured to herself as she watched the figure who killed without batting an eye.

”It’s not just inexhaustible, her inner strength feels like a bottomless sea!” Borjigin Nian exclaimed in awe...

Among the dead were her own Northern Mongolian people!

But truly, she did not know how to intervene, nor did she know whose side to take!

After all, during the earlier siege, her own people had shot arrows at her...

”Amitabha! Such sin, such sin!” the compassionate voice of Little Monk Bu Jie rose...

At the bank of Hengtang Lake...

At that very moment, it had become a Purgatory of Asura...

”Fire the arrows! Fire! Shoot her dead!” the terrified command rang out...

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

In an instant, a myriad of arrows were launched, heading straight for Gu Changsheng!

”Gu Changsheng!”

”Girl!”

Borjigin Nian and Yue Xilou cried out anxiously upon seeing this.

Gu Changsheng swiftly turned, her Red Blade flashing contempt in her murderous eyes.

”Courting death!”

These two cold words spilled out from her crimson lips!

Hovering in midair, Gu Changsheng stood still, directly facing the wind...

As they watched, the long arrows were about to strike Gu Changsheng, about to turn her into a hornet’s nest, Jin Linyuan and others couldn’t help but flash a tinge of delight in their eyes!

”Ha!”

”Ho!”

But in the next instant, Gu Changsheng’s hands, as if lifted in the void, brought the fiercely advancing arrows to an abrupt stop, all hovering in the air around Gu Changsheng...

Seeing this, everyone was immediately stunned!

Borjigin Nian and Yue Xilou were also dumbstruck, unable to utter a single word!

”I... want you all to watch as your own men die one by one before your eyes...” Gu Changsheng’s mouth curled into a chilling arc, her entire being like a Rakshasa possessed, cold and eerie, ”Savor the approaching footsteps of death...”

Having said this, Gu Changsheng’s palms flipped over, her inner strength surging out wildly...

In the next moment, the arrows that had been suspended in the air around her turned and shot downwards toward the army below...

Infused with inner strength, a myriad of arrows were unleashed...

Even the elite soldiers of the Three Kingdoms could not escape where the long arrows passed!

”Ah!”

”Pfft!”

Screams, roars, and the thuds of bodies falling formed a continuous sound...

Blood flowed, merging into rivers, heading towards Hengtang Lake...

It passed by Yue Xilou and the others’ feet, making them feel as if they were standing in the middle of a sea of blood...

However, Gu Changsheng did not stop. There she was, alone and with just a blood-red Chonghua Dagger, she waged battle as if in an uninhabited land, amidst the myriad armies...

Carnage!

An unceasing, relentless slaughter...

”Tread, tread, tread, tread...”

In the distance, the sound of the army marching echoed faintly!

”Yue Xilou, there’s the sound of troops encircling us from this direction!” Borjigin Nian, ears pricked, anxiously blurted out.

Good heavens! Could it be another army from the Three Kingdoms?

Was this not rushing to meet their death, coming here to be slaughtered?

Didn’t they see that Gu Changsheng killed people like chopping vegetables, that she was already killing like a demon?

”Huh...” Yue Xilou heard this and let out a long sigh of relief, his breath loosening as he leaned on Borjigin Nian’s shoulder, ”Finally... they’ve finally come...”

”By the Great General’s orders, to guard Liuzhou City, to protect Lady Changsheng, anyone who dares to mobilize troops within Liuzhou City, shall be mercilessly killed! Not one shall be spared!” Jiang One, leading the way on horseback, neared the bank of Hengtang Lake, when the scent of blood filled his nostrils...

And the closer to Hengtang Lake he got, the more intense the smell of blood became!

It rushed at him! Inescapable!

It was exactly like the battlefield!

”Fear... fear that we’ll have no need to leave not one alive...” Jiang San, mounted on a tall horse, gazing ahead, pointed towards the red figure flipping and soaring among the corpses of the myriad armies, swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty, ”That... that is Lady Changsheng, right... It looks like... the Three Kingdoms’ army... is nearly slaughtered to extinction by her...”

Upon hearing this, Jiang One looked up and was immediately shaken to his core!

Corpses!

What met his eyes was... a boundless stretch of corpses!

Spread to the edge of Hengtang Lake water...

Far off in the distance, only a few hundred people were surrounding that spot of red, and those few hundred were rapidly diminishing...

Falling... just like the corpses all around them...

By the side of Hengtang Lake, standing amidst the puddles of blood, were only a few heavily wounded individuals...

”A myriad armies! The Great General’s one million soldiers... they’ve actually... actually returned from Southern Fujian!” Borjigin Nian pointed towards the distant, densely packed troops, covered in dust, and exclaimed with horror.

No one answered her...

Everyone was watching the woman who was fighting alone on the battlefield...

Jiang One was the first to leap down from his horse and kneel on one knee on the ground...

The next moment, the entire army, as one, lowered themselves on their knees...

The people of the army, they revered the strong from the bottom of their hearts...

With the Chonghua in her hand, carrying tremendous inner strength, Gu Changsheng sliced the waists of dozens of soldiers, sprang up, dodging a barrage of long spears coming diagonally, and coldly spoke as she looked back from midair, ”Remember! It was I who killed you, it was Gu Changsheng!”

”Ning Er, and the Dead Soldiers who died for me, on the Yellow Springs Road, with so many to accompany you, you surely won’t be lonely...”

Gu Changsheng spoke with a face full of sorrow, and with a swift movement, the Chonghua spun again, claiming life after life...

”Your Highness...” the personal guards on the high ground, now only a dozen or so left, upon seeing the corpses below, felt torn with despair, ”Your Highness... their reinforcements have arrived, let’s flee...”

”Flee? Where to flee? Liuzhou City is already surrounded by Zhou Mu’s army returning from court; we have nowhere left to run to...” Jin Linyuan spoke in complete defeat...

Below the high ground, with a swing of the Chonghua, the last handful of soldiers around Gu Changsheng fell to the ground...

Gu Changsheng soared up, taking position in midair, her bloodied clothes billowing, her long skirt trailing after her, her beautiful face, filled with murderous intent, gazed towards Jin Linyuan and his group, her eyes flashing with ferocity, ”Thinking of fleeing? Even without reinforcements, I would not let you leave alive!”

”I said I would make each and every one of you die here, to be buried with my Ning Er, and with them!” as Gu Changsheng spoke, she pointed towards the scattered black-clothed corpses on the ground, ”Jin Linyuan, you were the first to order troops to move, so we’ll start with you!”

As Gu Changsheng’s words fell, her five fingers formed a claw, reaching out through the air towards Jin Linyuan...
