Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 743: Chapter 578: A Sword Through the Chest

Miaosu Posuo’s eyes seemed ready to split with rage, the sinister light within flashing continuously, as she screamed with all her might!

”Whore? Bastard? Monster?” Gu Changsheng’s face darkened like ink as he coldly huffed at the dying Miaosu Posuo struggling before him, ”The Three Palaces won’t let me off? The Southern Border cannot contain me? Heh...”

With the billowing Red Sleeve, Gu Changsheng turned away without looking back at her, his voice fierce and unrestrained, ”Once the Three Palaces and Six Halls no longer exist, when the Southern Borderlands are flipped upside down, and what you hold in supreme regard turns to dust, the new rules of the game will be created by me!”

The Three Palaces and Six Halls, the supreme beings of the Southern Borderlands, Gu Changsheng did not believe that merely one of the Six Halls, the Xiangka Clan, could have overthrown the millennium reign of the Phoenix Clan more than twenty years ago!

Without a doubt, the Three Palaces were involved!

As Gu Changsheng spoke, Gu insects began to reveal themselves behind a dozen or so Gu women!

The Life-bound Gu of the Southern Border Gu Women!

The Soul-Devouring Python, as if looking for praise, coiled to one side, shaking its head as Gu Changsheng looked back, his gaze moving from one Gu insect to another.

As his gaze shifted, disappointment gradually replaced Gu Changsheng’s expression, ”Not here... it’s not here...”

Behind Miaosu Posuo was an eighteen-clawed centipede, sending shivers down anyone’s spine just by looking at it!

But what Gu Changsheng was searching for was the White Tiger Gu from among the Four Great Imperial Gu, the one that fell into the hands of the Miaosu Clan!

Today, it seems she has been disappointed!

”Gobble gobble...” The Fire Chicken tilted its head, looking at its feeder with eyes full of hope!

The scent of the Gu insects’ flesh was so enticing, it was starving...

”Go eat!” Gu Changsheng’s lips curled into a smile as he spoke slowly.

If it was not what she wanted, then it was trash!

Its existence was no longer necessary; feeding her Fire Chicken would be just right, making use of it to the fullest!

”It seems heaven does not favor me so!” Gu Changsheng said to Zhou Mu beside him, with a hint of lament in his voice.

She had said it, how could it be possible to obtain three of the powerful Four Great Imperial Gu of the Southern Borderlands in one single day?

The White Tiger Gu indeed was not on Miaosu Posuo!

”Madame, how shall we dispose of these people?” Lord Yuan Bao asked with a plump, baby-face full of expectation.

”Blinded by the Crisp-boned Fragrance, alive they are just cripples, adding only to their agony!” Gu Changsheng turned around upon hearing this, looking at the dozen or so pitiable Gu women on the ground; she waved her hand towards Han Qiu and the other six women, speaking gently, ”Help them escape from their suffering. Around the valley, not one of the Gu women shall be spared!”

She was never one for mercy!

A thousand people hunting her down! If she did not strike, these thousand people would show her no mercy either!

Having set foot in the Southern Borderlands, it was destined to be a fight to the death!

”Yes!” Han Qiu and the six women fist-bowed, responding deeply, and scattered in all directions.

Under the effect of the Crisp-boned Fragrance, the thousand-strong experts sent by Xiangka Tianji had no power to fight back!

In the hunter-prey relationship, Han Qiu and the six women’s motions of claiming heads were extremely swift!

Withdrawal, sword fall, a blood light is raised, concluding a life!

All around, the despairing wails of the Gu women facing death echoed to the heavens!

”Whore! You cruel whore!” Xiangka Miao watched the woman robed in blazing red before her, trembling all over, as she fearfully shrank back, shaking her head, muttering in panic, ”You’re not human! You’re a demon! A demon!”

Every wail of despair around them challenged their nerves, driving them nearly to the brink of collapse.

”Gu Changsheng, whether it was the Dayao Mountain battle or the battle of Red Sun City, only a few Gu women were injured. Today, you slaughtered a thousand Gu women in the Southern Borderlands! Do you know how great a sin it is?” Miaosu Posuo said sternly, her face ferocious as she clutched at the earth beneath her.

”If I were merciful and spared you, would you let me live?” Gu Changsheng responded, eyebrows lifted with a serene indifference, ”The law of survival is the survival of the fittest. I will not provoke others unless provoked, but if others provoke me, they will be exterminated. This is my way, Gu Changsheng! To have died by my hand, you can at least consider yourself to have met a fitting end!”

Having said so, Gu Changsheng turned to walk away, ”Si Xi, finish them off.”

”Yes!” Si Xi answered immediately.

In an instant, several more wails followed from behind.

Walking beside Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng was filled with the scent of blood, feeling slightly distracted.

But then, as Si Xi swung her iron whip, just scooping up Xiangka Miao’s head, she felt a powerful gust of wind pass by her side. Turning her head, she gasped in shock and cried out in panic, ”Madame!”

”Gu Changsheng! Your life is forfeit!”

The cold voice, heavy with infinite killing intent, came as if from a fierce ghost crawling out of hell, sweeping towards Gu Changsheng with the speed of thunder!

Gu Changsheng turned abruptly, her eyes filled with shock.

Such speed, that even Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng failed to react in time.

Even knowing the outcome was certain and holding the upper hand, they had let their guard down, and this momentary lapse could be deadly!

Miaosu Posuo, the master of Futu Demoness and one of the Elders of the Three Palaces from the Southern Border, her deathly strike, how could anyone dodge it?

”My lady!” Lord Yuan Bao, who had been following behind them, saw this and was instantly stricken with horror.

Watching the Bone Sword of Miaosu Posuo, which was pressing aggressively towards them, Lord Yuan Bao’s plump body suddenly sprang up and blocked behind his own lady!

”Yuan Bao!”

”Yuan Bao!”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu saw this and their eyes widened in shock. They shouted, transforming into flashes of lightning, and rushed towards Yuan Bao.

”Puchi!”

The sound of the longsword piercing flesh exploded in the hearts of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu like a thunderclap!

With one palm separating Miaosu Posuo who was ready to stab again, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu reached out simultaneously to catch Yuan Bao as his body began to fall backwards...

Blood instantly flooded Yuan Bao’s chest, blossoming a frightfully beautiful flower.

”Lord Yuan Bao!” Si Xi exclaimed in shock, promptly flying over to block Miaosu Posuo’s offensive.

The six women who had been gathering heads around the hills heard the noise here, their expressions dramatically changed, and they rushed over quickly. Together with Si Xi, they engaged Miaosu Posuo in battle.

For a moment, underneath the big tree, there was nothing but chaos.

Gu Changsheng looked at the blood flowing continuously from Yuan Bao’s chest. She extended her hand, wanting to press on his bleeding wound, but dared not; she opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but found herself speechless.

In their arms, Yuan Bao’s face had already turned deathly pale. Looking at the spot on his chest, the wound from the Bone Sword piercing through, blood was flowing like a river...

”Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao, why are you so foolish!” Tears involuntarily fell, as Gu Changsheng looked at Yuan Bao in front her, her face ashen.

Being a doctor, no one knew better than her that saving lives was difficult!

This sword, it pierced through the chest!

Even though she prided herself on her exquisite medical skills, she was helpless to start!

”My... my lady...” Blood spewed from his mouth, Yuan Bao struggled to blink, making a great effort to half-open his eyes to look at the people beside him, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, trying to make a joke, but this only brought more blood, ”Cough, cough... my lady, I said it before, with my... with this figure, I’m the best... the best suited for blocking a spear...”

”Yes, yes, yes! Whatever you say is right!” Wiping the tears from her face, Gu Changsheng quickly spoke.

In her past and present life, she had seen life and death aplenty, she never imagined that one day, she would shed tears over parting from life and death!

”Yuan Bao!” Zhou Mu, looking at Yuan Bao whose vital energy was fading, felt deep sorrow in the depths of his eyes.

Although he treated Yuan Bao the same as everyone else normally, in the bottom of his heart, Yuan Bao was truly different!

The sentiments from their childhood connection, it was Yuan Bao who had saved him from the purgatorial flames of the Eastern Palace with his young body! Over a decade of unceasing companionship by his side, in name a servant, but in truth family!

”Master... Yuan Bao... as a crippled person abandoned by the gods and humans, thank you for treating me as a human... Yuan Bao’s life has been fulfilled!” Yuan Bao’s plump body trembled slightly, blood welling in his chest.

With his words, mouthful after mouthful of blood spilled from his mouth, staining the hands of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu!

”Yuan Bao, don’t talk, I haven’t even taken in an adopted son for you yet, how can you die? If you die, you will have no descendants to offer sacrifices, and you will go hungry!” Zhou Mu pressed on Yuan Bao’s bleeding chest, his usually calm face was for the first time colored with panic.

”No! It won’t happen! Yuan Bao, you won’t die! You can’t die!” Gu Changsheng frantically searched her person for medicinal bottles, her hands trembling as she poured out countless medicinal pills and stuffed them into Yuan Bao’s mouth.

The blood mixed with the medicinal pills and was spat out by Yuan Bao in an instant.

With such an injury, he really couldn’t swallow anything anymore, even Gu Changsheng was at a loss!

”No! It won’t happen!” Gu Changsheng cried through blurry tears, her body’s veins visibly tensed, ”Don’t die! Yuan Bao, don’t die! I don’t want you to die for me!”

It was all her fault, if it weren’t for her overconfidence, if it weren’t for her distraction, how would Yuan Bao have ended up like this, blocking a sword for her?

She didn’t want it like this!

She didn’t want anyone to die for her!

”Yuan Bao!”

”Yuan Bao!”

”...”

Those battling Miaosu Posuo heard the voices from behind, their expressions changed drastically, and their moves became even fiercer, but even so, the seven people together couldn’t harm Miaosu Posuo in the slightest; they could only barely stop her from continuing her advance towards where Yuan Bao lay.

”Yuan Bao, you can’t be in trouble, Xiao Leizi is still at home making something delicious waiting for you to come back, you must be fine!” With her hand on Yuan Bao’s shoulder, Gu Changsheng’s inner strength flowed endlessly into Yuan Bao, shaking her head in panic.

”My... my lady, don’t be sad, Yuan Bao... Yuan Bao likes to see you laugh without a care, you must stay well and be with the master, you have to save the Young Master...” Yuan Bao struggled to turn his head, smiling at his own lady, speaking intermittently.

With every word he spoke, his chest felt as if it was being torn apart. Yuan Bao knew he was dying...

”No! Don’t!” Feeling the fading warmth beneath her hands, Gu Changsheng howled in agonizing grief, her demeanor descending into frantic madness, ”Yuan Bao, I won’t let you die! I absolutely won’t!”
