Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 686: Chapter 525: Known Throughout the World After One Battle

Gu Changsheng finished speaking and closed her eyes.

In her past life, she was a Special Forces soldier and a military doctor on the battlefield. During marches, seizing every possible opportunity to rest was fundamental. Gu Changsheng was a lazy person. Even amidst a hail of bullets, she could find a moment to doze off, let alone in this ancient siege warfare.

Only two words described her attitude: unafraid!

Under the darkness before dawn, the pitch-black sky enveloped the entire Dayao Village. Seven shadows emerged from the Village Chieftain Mansion littered with corpses, led by a woman in red. They prowled the dark night like cheetahs, baring their fangs and ready to fight at any moment.

”Spread out!”

Gu Changsheng gestured with her hands for everyone to disperse in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, Han Qiu, Xiao Cui, and the four sisters from the Jin, Yu, Liang, and Yuan clans split into two teams, swiftly infiltrating towards the towering City Gate.

Watching their nimble figures dart away, Gu Changsheng’s lips curled into a relieved smile.

Xiao Cui once was a little girl who could only cry when faced with trouble. Now, she had become a true warrior! Even Gu Changsheng herself didn’t expect that Xiao Cui could endure such cruel training, to persist and come out stronger. From now on, even without her protection, Xiao Cui would be able to live well. It really felt great!

Watching Liu Nv’s figure disappear around the city walls, Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrows and walked towards the City Gate, her steps as swift as the wind along the main road of Dayao Village.

What does a single woman in red, walking unabashedly on the streets under the cover of dark, look like to others?

The first impression: a ghost!

A bloodthirsty smile played on her lips as Gu Changsheng saw the patrolling soldiers frozen in shock by the roadside, not seeking to hide, she continued her leisurely pace.

Today, she was determined to become the devil in these people’s hearts!

”Who... who’s there! It’s curfew time, no one is allowed outside. Who are you?” The bewildered patrol finally noticed something amiss and, mustering courage, turned back, pointing the long spear at Gu Changsheng’s back and shouting loudly.

Without turning her head and with a playful glint in her eyes, Gu Changsheng responded, ”My name, Gu Changsheng...”

Gu Changsheng was an honest person, never changing her name or dodging questions, always cooperating nicely when asked.

”Gu... Gu!” The patrol soldier’s ragged breaths could be clearly heard from behind, ”She... she’s the remnant of the former dynasty!”

The hearts of the dozen or so patrol soldiers raced upon hearing ’remnant of the former dynasty’.

This was a windfall of military achievement falling from the sky!

”Brothers, if we kill her, promotion and nobility are just around the corner!”

At someone’s loud cry, over a dozen individuals rushed towards Gu Changsheng.

”Sigh...” A reluctant sigh escaped as Gu Changsheng, without halting her steps, looked down, ”We could have had a nice back-and-forth, but you refused to see reason and came to kill me. Now, I have to add one more thing.”

”Gentlemen, my name is Gu Changsheng, please remember it, because it is I who will have killed you!”

In the following moment, her red sleeves whirled, sending out a tremendous wave of Inner Strength toward the people charging from behind.

”Ah!”

”Bang!”

”Pfft!”

The cries of shock had barely sounded when over a dozen people were sent flying far away, falling to the ground without another sound.

”Amitabha, my sins, my sins; looks like I’ll have to find Little Monk Bu Jie to recite sutras for their souls again...” Gu Changsheng shook her head and sighed before continuing towards the City Gate.

Before dawn breaks, she would break through the City Gate, welcoming the evildoers into the city!

Dayao Village, the largest city on the Southern Border, was a prize Gu Changsheng was determined to claim!

The conflict that had determined the fate of the patrol was significant and quickly drew many more patrolmen from within the city.

The bewildered soldiers, faces filled with terror, looked with disbelief at the breathtakingly beautiful woman walking unaffected through the streets, and were suddenly overwhelmed with deep fear!

Indeed, it was fear, coming from the heart, the fear of the powerful!

”Anyone who blocks my way, I’ll kill gods if they stand before me, and Buddhas if they stand before me! If you know what’s good for you, step aside. I don’t want to commit more slaughter than necessary!”

The mark of a flame on her brow glowed in the light of the patrolmen’s torches, bright and fiery, like the blossoming Mandara Flower, enchanting and ominously limitless. Gu Changsheng spoke coldly.

She was not one to kill needlessly, but this venture into the Southern Border was destined to result in numerous casualties!

On the battlefield, it’s either your death or mine.

That warning was her ultimate patience!

”She... she’s the remnant of the former dynasty, a descendant of the Phoenix Clan!” The flame on her brow caught the patrolman’s eye, igniting a feverish gleam in them.

The Phoenix Clan had ruled the Southern Border for a thousand years, and although their power remained, the Xiangka Clan were now the rulers!

To slay her would mean riches and rank within easy reach!

There’s never a shortage of brave souls when a bounty is big enough.

Finally overcoming their inner fears, hundreds of patrolmen armed with long spears lunged towards Gu Changsheng.

This assault was bound to turn her into a sieve!

A hint of joy flickered in their eyes.

But fantasy is always beautiful, and reality brutal.

Before they could even get close to Gu Changsheng, they were repelled by waves of Inner Strength emanating from her.

With Gu Changsheng at the center, the Inner Strength rippled out like a stone thrown into a lake, creating concentric ripples that quickly expanded into a towering tidal wave, sending everyone tumbling away.

Mouthfuls of fresh blood spilled from the patrolmen’s mouths.

No visible wounds, but their internal organs were shattered.

The scent of blood instantly diffused through the air...

Standing amidst the pool of blood, Gu Changsheng looked up at the city tower not far away.

Her red gown fluttering, she took another step forward.

Her target was the City Gate!

”Loose arrows!”

Atop the city tower, the army stood guard, and as Gu Changsheng approached, the defensive general of Dayao Village, that cold woman with a face full of smugness, spoke with an icy voice.

With thousands of arrows firing at once, this woman, who dared to walk into Dayao Village alone, was surely going to have a one-way trip.

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

”...”

The sound of arrows slicing through the air, carrying a fierce whistling wind, rushed towards Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng looked at the woman with narrow, sinister eyes and slowly shook her head.

They say appearances are shaped by the heart, and this woman, just by looking, was clearly not a good person, with her sharp and sly features, too sinister!

Her fingers twitched slightly as Inner Strength encircled her, like armor, freezing the incoming sharp arrows midair.

From above on the city tower looking down, the woman in red below was surrounded by long arrows, their feathers still trembling, making her resemble a porcupine.

This scene was eerily strange!

”People above, listen to me, give up resisting, open the city gate wide. I don’t want to be a butcher, really!”

Her cold voice, laced with Inner Strength, echoed around the gates of Dayao Village.

Atop the city walls, the hearts of the more than fifty thousand stationed troops trembled... This this this...

Despite thousands of arrows being fired, she was completely unharmed and in the mood to threaten them!

This...

”Gu Changsheng, you have a lot of nerve, thinking this is your Liuzhou City, where you can do as you please. This is Dayao Village, the Southern Border! We swear to loyally serve the Xiangka Clan, and today we’ll ensure you won’t make it back alive!” The defensive general’s sinister laugh sounded like she heard the joke of the century.

”Underestimating your own strength!” Gu Changsheng snapped coldly. ”I just woke up and already I hear people want me dead; this truly feels terrible! Since you want to serve the Xiangka Clan, then head to the underworld and pave the way for them!”

What is borrowing arrows with straw boats?

Unfortunately for her, Gu Changsheng turned herself into a human target, playing the part of the straw boat for a bit, borrowing some arrows!

Use the enemy’s own strategy against them: the arrows that were shot at her were returned just as they came!

The sharp arrows, frozen around Gu Changsheng, were now propelled by Inner Strength as they turned their heads, flying back towards the city tower, and unlike their arrival, the returning sharp arrows carried the added might of Inner Strength!

Their power was comparable to that of the Thousand Mechanism Crossbow designed by Gu Changsheng!

They could shoot through Yang at a hundred steps, piercing armor before making an exit!

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

”Ah!”

”Ah!”

In an instant, cries of agony filled the city tower, and that female defensive general only avoided disaster by grabbing two soldiers to shield herself.

With just one move, thousands on the city tower were dead or injured!

This woman was truly a demon!

At this moment, even the female defensive general, who had killed countless people, felt a trace of fear in her heart.

Hearing the continuous wailing from the city tower, Gu Changsheng tilted her head toward the east, where, between the undulating mountains, a streak of dawn’s light could be glimpsed.

”Ah! Dawn is breaking!” she murmured lightly with a carefree tone, as Gu Changsheng sniffed, ”We agreed to welcome my evildoer into the city at dawn, and it’s almost time...”

The troops above the city tower heard her murmur and exchanged puzzled looks with each other.

”Dark Night Army’s Liu Nv, heed my command, break through the city gate, and take the head of that defensive general!” Gu Changsheng clapped her hands, sat down with her chin in hand, and spoke in a breezy voice that echoed above the city gate.

Her calm and collected demeanor stunned the army on the city tower momentarily.

”At your command!”

”At your command!”

”...”

But in the blink of an eye, several solemn female voices responded from around the city tower.

”Boom!”

”Boom!”

”...”

At the city gate and atop the city walls, a series of earth-shattering explosions echoed to the heavens.

This sudden turn of events, with earth and mountains shaking, scared people into a state of shock and terror!

Gu Changsheng, sitting casually with her chin in hand, calmly watched as the city gate was shredded to pieces, then lifted her gaze to the smoke-filled and chaotic city tower...

There, amid the smoke, one could vaguely discern several dark red figures swiftly moving...

The disparity between cold and hot weapons—this was the gap!

In war, it is about quality, not quantity!

That night, at the dawn of daybreak, the Southern Border became known for the fall of Dayao Village’s city gate, and out of the sixty thousand defending troops, over half were dead or injured in an instant.

The battle of Dayao Village brought victory to Gu Changsheng with only six of her Dark Night Army female generals, taking the city unscathed.

The explosion that resounded across the skies of Dayao Village seemed to awaken not just the Southern Border, but the entire world.

Famed in a single battle, known to all under heaven, the names Gu Changsheng and Dark Night Army echoed throughout the lands within days, causing infants to stop crying at the mention, and the whole world trembled in fear...
