Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 582: Chapter 434: Severing Connections with This Place as an Apology for My Crimes

Despite being several strides away, Jin Linyuan’s face turned ashen with shock, and the commanders ahead of him quickly raised their weapons to block!

But Gu Changsheng was mid-air, they couldn’t even touch her robe, let alone stop her!

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

Several loud blasts echoed, and the commanders in front of Jin Linyuan, without exception, were hurled down the hill, spitting blood from the force of Gu Changsheng’s palm!

”Gu... Gu Chang... ” Jin Linyuan’s eyes nearly exploded with rage as he looked at the woman standing against the wind, almost unable to speak!

This woman!

This woman!

She was no human!

At that moment, Jin Linyuan was truly frightened!

He had schemed to no end and never imagined that death would come this close to him!

Gazing coldly at him, Gu Changsheng’s fingers formed into claws, and her Inner Strength coalesced into threads, attacking Jin Linyuan’s throat!

”Gu... I... ”

In the next instant, Jin Linyuan frantically raised his hands to cover his throat!

He felt, a great force clasping his neck!

Making it difficult for him to breathe!

”Come receive your death!” Gu Changsheng’s Inner Strength amassed once more, as her clawed right hand slowly drew backward!

Suddenly, Jin Linyuan’s body, to the shock of the onlookers, flew straight towards Gu Changsheng!

And Gu Changsheng’s clawed right hand, calmly waiting in place, accurately clamped onto his throat!

”Believing in spirits and fearing the heavens, such ignorance isn’t originally your fault!” Gu Changsheng’s eyes piercing, stared down at Jin Linyuan close at hand and spoke sternly, ”Yet, you dared to attack Liuzhou City for such a contrived charge, not sparing even the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to besiege me!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, tears slowly gathered in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she continued, ”Your siege on me led me to demonic cultivation, which is my own fault for overlooking the weak and being too arrogant! It is my own doing! But you killed my Ning Er! And them!”

Gu Changsheng said, pointing to the Persons in Black lying on the ground, ”They died to protect me! It was my pride that implicated them! It was my kindness that gave you the chance to kill them! It is I, Gu Changsheng, who harmed them!”

”My death is not a pity! But they were innocents! Jin Linyuan, use your blood, the blood of Imperial relatives and nobles, to light their path in Reincarnation!”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng’s grip tightened!

”No! Don’t! Gu Changsheng! I am the Second Prince of Liaodong! My mother holds great power in Liaodong! I am willing to tribute to Great Zhou year after year, Gold, Silver, and Silk, cattle and sheep, any amount you demand, just spare me!” Jin Linyuan desperately clawed at Gu Changsheng’s hand on his throat, pleading frantically.

”Heh...” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng gave a desolate laugh, lifted a hand to point towards the direction outside Liuzhou City, and burst into tears, ”Do you see that flame reaching the heavens? With such a widespread wildfire, how could my son possibly survive?”

”My son is gone, my family is gone, so many have died because of me, you! How do you think tribute could save your life? Ha ha...”

Robes flying, Gu Changsheng, suspended in midair, laughed tragically...

”Gold, Silver, and Silk, can they bring them back to life? Gold, Silver, and Silk, can they revive the dead? You all, deserve to die!” A hint of resolve flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes as Inner Strength slowly amassed in her hands, ”Rest assured, after killing you, after killing all of you, I will end my life here!”

”My little bun, he was so small and scared to be alone, how could I let him endure the path through the lonely Yellow Springs Road alone!” Gu Changsheng absentmindedly muttered to herself, ”Ning Er, and all of you! I caused your deaths, I will join you on this road to thank you for your devotion till death!”

As she spoke, Jin Linyuan’s face gradually turned purple, ultimately his head lolled, and he was silenced forever!

”Wah... No! No! How could you end it all here! I was just born, do I have to be buried with you?” A voice in her mind cried out, ”No! They died to save you, didn’t they? If you end your life as penance, wouldn’t their deaths be meaningless?”

”You can’t end it all! By doing this, you’re harming us! That’s utterly wrong! That’s so wrong! I even helped you... wah...”

Hearing the tragic voice in her mind, Gu Changsheng’s expression darkened, and she softly murmured, ”I’m sorry...”

”You know, the evildoer will not rest until his goals are reached. If the army of Southern Fujian is retreating to the capital to relieve us, then there is only one possibility!” Gu Changsheng looked down and whispered slowly, ”It’s that the Japanese pirates in Southern Fujian have been eliminated! He... desiring to quickly achieve this, must have fought them to the death!”

”Ning Er, those Dead Soldiers, and those soldiers who, because of me, hastened to meet their end in Southern Fujian...”

”So many lives! So many lively lives! All died because of me! I don’t want to be the Heavenly Destined Girl, nor the Female Star of the Occupation Room! Perhaps, only through my death, will all of this finally end! With no family left, life has nothing to hold, so many lives, I truly cannot bear them, I really can’t bear it anymore...”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, her hand, emitting a brilliance of Chonghua, flashed, and in the next instant, like a kite with its string cut, Jin Linyuan’s body smashed to the ground!

”Boom!”

As Jin Linyuan’s golden-clad corpse hit the ground, all around froze in horror!

Because...

when Jin Linyuan fell to the ground, there was only a body...

but no head...

His head...

was gory and held in Gu Changsheng’s hand...

”I said I would use your heads to pay tribute to the souls of Ning Er and the others! Next, Borjigin Lvchi!” Gu Changsheng said as he reached out again!

As expected, Borjigin Lvchi’s body, nowhere to hide and no way to avoid, was sucked over by Gu Changsheng using Inner Strength!

”Let me go! I promise you, Northern Mongolia will never set foot in the Central Plains again, and will no longer participate in the struggle for power in the Central Plains! Let me go!” Borjigin Lvchi desperately covered his neck, pleading repeatedly.

Seeing so much death! In the face of death, even though he was the bravest warrior of Northern Mongolia, his spirit was on the verge of collapse at this moment!

He even felt the breath of death slowly approaching him...

”What happens in the Central Plains has nothing to do with me! The people I care about died because of me, and how can you people carrying spears escape,” Gu Changsheng’s voice, like a bloodthirsty devil, rang in Borjigin Lvchi’s ears.

”No! No! Princess Nian! Cousin! Save me!” Seeing this, Borjigin Lvchi desperately turned his head towards Princess Nian by the lake, his face full of pleading, ”Cousin, we are of the same root, please save me!”

Upon seeing this, a struggle flashed across Princess Nian’s face.

Gu Changsheng looked down at her from above, increasing the force in his hands once more!

Jin Linyuan had died, and by killing them, she could be free...

She was really tired!

Exhausted in spirit, she felt better off dead!

Death, perhaps, was the true release...

The complexion of Borjigin Lvchi, as the force in Gu Changsheng’s hands increased, slowly turned dark purple, gradually struggling to breathe...

”Gu Changsheng!”

Just then, Princess Nian, having put down the unconscious Yue Xilou, ran over in panic, looked up at the two suspended in mid-air, and cried out to stop him.

”Nian?”

Gu Changsheng looked down at her, a flicker of pity in his eyes.

This beautiful young lady had threatened the enemy with suicide for her sake...

”Gu Changsheng...” Princess Nian, wringing her fingers and struggling, finally made up her mind and said, ”Gu Changsheng, can you let him go?”

”I was born a female and never helped my Father King much, but he has helped my Father King a lot. Gu Changsheng, please spare him, as he said, we are from the same clan, how can I just watch him die...”

”The people who surrounded and attacked me included your Northern Mongolian army, and among those I killed were your people. Princess Nian, you have saved me several times at the risk of your life. Since you want to save him, naturally I will give you this face. But this man is ambitious, and I hope you won’t regret today’s mercy in the future!” As Gu Changsheng spoke, he flung Borjigin Lvchi towards Princess Nian and said sternly, ”Take him and leave Great Zhou. Our friendship ends here!”

”Gu Changsheng?” Princess Nian, upon hearing this, cried out in horror, a flicker of panic in her eyes as she looked at Gu Changsheng.

Why?

Why did she see a hint of a death wish in Gu Changsheng’s eyes?

Could it be?

Suddenly, Princess Nian shook her head!

It wasn’t what she thought!

She must be overthinking! Gu Changsheng, such a heartless person, even if he felt guilty for the deaths of Ning Er and the others, surely he couldn’t seek death as atonement, right?

This couldn’t be!

It definitely couldn’t be!

Yet, Gu Changsheng’s easy agreement to let Borjigin Lvchi go was truly beyond Princess Nian’s expectation!

From what she knew of Gu Changsheng, once he set his mind to something, not even ten cows could pull him back!

With such deep hatred, she surely wouldn’t rest until she had killed everyone here!

”Sima Liancheng!” Gu Changsheng slowly turned his head towards the two men, his voice cold as ice, slowly saying, ”The matter of my son being in Baili Mountain was disclosed to Jin Linyuan by you, right? You fancied yourself clever, calculating everything to let Jin Linyuan take the fall, all to reap the benefits of a fisherman, right?”

”I...” Sima Liancheng, startled by this, his eyes flashing with shock.

Sima Changhao heard this and his face also changed.

”However, it’s too late to say anything now, I no longer have the time or the energy to watch your brothers’ tragic spectacle. Come and face your death!” Gu Changsheng said as he slowly stretched out both hands!

His fingers turned into claws, reaching for Sima Changhao and his brother!

On the ground, Princess Nian, hearing this and suddenly realizing, promptly threw down the unconscious Borjigin Lvchi and desperately rushed forward, screaming at the top of her lungs, ”Stop her! Don’t let her kill them!”
