Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 583: Chapter 435: The Burden of Overwhelming Blood Debt

At this moment, Borjigin Nian was utterly certain that her conjecture was correct!

Gu Changsheng really was intent on killing every person from the Three Kingdoms present, even if it meant seeking death!

No!

No!

This absolutely cannot happen!

At this moment, fear truly gripped Borjigin Nian’s heart! She could not allow Gu Changsheng to die before her eyes!

Upon hearing her, everyone was greatly shocked and looked incredulously at Borjigin Nian as she threw herself at Lady Changsheng!

Being the Northern Mongolian Princess, Borjigin Nian’s plea to save Borjigin Lvchi could still be understood, but why would she stop Lady Changsheng from avenging herself on the Sima brothers, Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng?

At this moment, everyone was perplexed!

In their eyes, Borjigin Nian had never involved herself in the affairs of the Four Kingdoms and lacked the awareness befitting the Northern Mongolian Princess. Her sudden intervention to save the Sima brothers was indeed baffling!

Seeing Borjigin Nian recklessly flying towards him, Gu Changsheng’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. He quickly changed his claw into a palm and controlled his inner strength to strike at Borjigin Nian.

”Have you lost your mind? They have forced me to this extent, and they deserve to die. You plead for Borjigin Lvchi, considering your shared lineage, and I have already agreed to let him go. Yet you dare to stop me!” Gu Changsheng’s face darkened as he looked at Borjigin Nian lying in a pool of blood, speaking coldly, ”They have driven me to this, saddling me with blood debts. If I don’t die, how can I face Ning Er and the others! If you obstruct me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

”They must die!” said Gu Changsheng, reaching out his hands once more.

”Don’t!” Borjigin Nian climbed out of the pool of blood, leaped up again, and crashed into Gu Changsheng’s hands, ”Stop her! Quick, help me stop her! If Gu Changsheng kills them for vengeance, she will die too! Hurry, stop her! Quick!”

Borjigin Nian yelled hoarsely as she flew toward Gu Changsheng.

That’s right!

Once the Sima brothers, Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng, are killed and revenge is taken, Gu Changsheng will die!

Although she had not known Gu Changsheng for long, their bond had been forged through life-and-death struggles!

She understood all too well that Gu Changsheng, who seemed unfeeling, had a heart of a Bodhisattva!

She knew it! She knew it! Seeing so many people dying to save her, she would certainly be heartbroken and desire death!

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people were all greatly alarmed. Jiang One was the first to jump up from the ground and sprinted towards Gu Changsheng!

”Protect the pair from Southern Chen Crown at all costs. We cannot let Lady Changsheng’s vengeance be fulfilled!”

As Jiang One sprinted forward, he gave out orders in a frantic tone.

Lady Changsheng, with a healer’s benevolent heart, even when possessed, retained her sense of rationality!

Jiang One dared not imagine what choice she would make once her vengeance was fulfilled and she was burdened with bloody debts.

But at this moment, the Sima brothers, Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng, could not die!

If they died and Lady Changsheng’s vengeance was completed, she would have nothing left to live for!

”Boom!” With her physical body, Borjigin Nian collided directly with Gu Changsheng’s claws. A trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of her mouth. She grasped Gu Changsheng’s hands tightly, looking into her frightened eyes, and spoke with all her might, ”Gu Changsheng, you coward! We risked our lives to save you. Do you think, by killing them all and obtaining your revenge, you can be righteous in dying as recompense?”

Gu Changsheng, gazing at Borjigin Nian who was clinging to his arm, with the intent to kill still evident in his eyes, slowly shook his head, ”You dare to block me! You dare again! Get up, I must kill them!”

”You’ll kill them, and then commit suicide out of guilt?” Borjigin Nian clung persistently to Gu Changsheng’s arm, slowly shaking her head, ”Gu Changsheng, I won’t let go! You can’t obtain your revenge, and you have no right to commit suicide as an apology!”

”If we are friends, we live or die together. You want to kill them and then end your life? Then you must kill me first! I won’t let go even in death!”

A drop of fresh blood fell from the corner of Borjigin Nian’s mouth onto the back of Gu Changsheng’s hand, bright red and striking...

”Lady Changsheng, please reconsider! Lady Changsheng! The Sima brothers have escaped. I implore you to reconsider, a true man can take ten years to enact revenge, there’s no need to rush at this very moment!” Jiang One stood below Gu Changsheng, speaking anxiously.

Hearing this, a flash of cold light passed through Gu Changsheng’s eyes. She turned to look at two yellow figures weaving through the myriad armies, with no one stopping them...

”Ah ah ah! You! You actually let them escape!” Gu Changsheng yelled frantically, her hands held tightly by Borjigin Nian, her breath chaotic and her gaze like torches as she swept it over Jiang One and the others, ”You! You actually let them escape! Helping the tyrant, aiding the enemy’s generals to flee, is this your stance as a Great Zhou commander?”

”Lady Changsheng, please forgive us! Compared to you, Lady Changsheng, they are insignificant. My men received the orders from Father, at all costs, to ensure your safety!” Upon hearing this, Jiang One immediately knelt on one knee and spoke somberly.

As he said this, a trace of deep sorrow flickered through his eyes.

Indeed, at all costs...

”Borjigin Nian, let go of my hand, let me kill them!” Gu Changsheng sternly ordered in a low voice.

”No! Unless you kill me first! Otherwise, you won’t think about killing yourself in front of us!” Blood never ceased from the corners of Borjigin Nian’s mouth as she firmly shook her head and said, ”For a friend, you can forget the deep-seated blood feud at the Xuehai Acupoint, and you released Borjigin Lvchi for my sake. For a friend, I can also stand by you in life and death. Gu Changsheng, if you wish to end your life as penance, fine, kill me first! I’ll accompany you! On the Yellow Springs Road, we can continue to quarrel... cough cough...”

As Borjigin Nian spoke, more threads of blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, ”Gu Changsheng, do you really not think of Xiao Gu Ze? He might have a chance to escape death, he might still be alive! Do you really want him to grow up without a mother?”

”My senior brother fell for their trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, he must have gone to save Xiao Gu Ze. With my senior brother’s capabilities, he definitely... definitely can save him! Gu Changsheng... you can’t die!”

”Haha...” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly let out a dismal laugh, tears streaming down his cheeks, ”Lying to me! Why must you lie to me! Don’t you see the skies ablaze over Baili Mountain?”

”The evildoer with powers that could reach the heavens, but has always been afraid of fire, a wildfire connecting heaven and earth, my... my little treasure, how could he possibly survive? Even the evildoer... even the evildoer may not escape this disaster...”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces drastically changed.

”Lady Changsheng, don’t worry over nothing! The good man has his own luck, he will surely be safe!” Although worried, Jiang One still spoke in a firm voice.

How important Lady Changsheng was to their lord, Jiang One was not just realizing!

When tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Three Kingdoms caused chaos in Liuzhou City, the Flying Eagle Message they received was to return to Liuzhou City during the plum viewing banquet in Hengtang no matter what, to ensure Lady Changsheng’s safety!

It was a death order!

Even as he passed Baili Mountain and saw the skies ablaze with fire, he dared not delay!

For their lord, Lady Changsheng was his life!

And their lord’s life was the life of the countless citizens of Great Zhou!

”You’re actually trying to persuade me! You’re actually trying to counsel me! Hehe...” Gu Changsheng said, laughing again. He turned his head to look at Borjigin Nian, shook his head with tear-stained cheeks, ”Borjigin Nian, our friendship ends here. If I die, it is because I deserve to die! And my death is still not enough to atone for my guilt!”

”Gu Changsheng! Are you still the carefree Gu Changsheng I knew?” Borjigin Nian said, struggling to speak, with a pleading look on her face.

”Carefree... I wish I were carefree! Then I wouldn’t feel the pain!” Gu Changsheng said miserably, tears swirling in his eyes, ”Do you know how much blood debt I carry on my back?”

”Ning Er is already dead, and these Dead Soldiers, they all died because of me...”

”Why do you think they returned to the capital at this time? Because of me! The evildoer altered the battle plans without authorization for my sake. In the desperate pursuit, the battle took place on unfamiliar grounds. Do you know their casualties?”

”Do you know on the battlefields of Southern Fujian how many soldiers and generals were buried in foreign lands because of me?”

”No! No” Borjigin Nian exclaimed, shaking her head in terror.

And Jiang One, kneeling on the ground, suddenly bowed his head, a glimmer of moisture in his eyes.

Lady Changsheng, with a heart that understands everything!

Indeed, she couldn’t be deceived by anything!

”Countless white bones, innumerable blood debts, all arisen because of me!” Blood tears fell from Gu Changsheng’s eyes as she murmured absentmindedly, ”My arrival to this world was a mistake! My existence is a mistake! It’s because of me that so many innocent people were dragged in...”

All that about the Female Star of the Occupation Room, none of it was her wish!

Yet, the world insisted on imposing such sins upon her!

Making so many around her die because of her!

That was fate!

Humans are not weeds, how can one be unfeeling!

Gu Changsheng was not a heartless person, and because she was not heartless, that’s why she was in such unbearable pain right now!

”Gu Changsheng! Listen to me, all of this is not your fault! It’s not your fault! You’re falling into a Heart Demon! Calm down!”

Feeling the Inner Strength around Gu Changsheng beginning to whirl wildly, Borjigin Nian hastily hugged Gu Changsheng’s arm and spoke urgently in shock.

”God or devil alike, burdened with blood debts, life has become loathsome, what need have I to remain in this world, hehe... I really, should never have existed!” Gu Changsheng spoke resolutely, looked at Borjigin Nian, and slowly shook her head, changing her grip to a push against Borjigin Nian’s body, ”...I can’t bear it any longer, I really can’t bear it... I don’t have the courage to continue on this path built upon mounds of bones...”

”Don’t!” Borjigin Nian, bound by a surge of Inner Strength, slowly fell downwards, and turned back to see red light swirling around Gu Changsheng’s body...

In an instant, it enveloped her whole being in a crimson glow...

Upon witnessing this, the people on the ground were struck with horror, faces drained of color!

”No!”
