Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 745: Chapter 580: Must Save Even If Struck by Heavenly Wrath!

“I want to! I’m happy to! Don’t stop me!”

A soft and glutinous voice of protest arose, instantly awakening Gu Changsheng. His phoenix eyes widened as he spoke in disbelief, “If you forcibly save Yuan Bao, Dandan, will you suffer divine retribution?”

“Dandan’s Mom, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s lived too long and has become a bit cowardly, scared of trouble. It’s just a few blasts of heavenly thunder, no big deal!” The tone belonged to the Dandan Bug, once again in an adult voice that sounded both male and female.

“Nonsense! Even the True Gods that existed during the Ancient Wilderness Times feared the thunder against heaven, and we are merely a wisp of divine breath. How dare you boast such reckless words! Do you truly wish for the last trace of godliness in the world, and on us, to be completely extinguished?”

“None of your business! I want to do it!”

The sound of Dandan Bug arguing with itself reverberated in Gu Changsheng’s mind, leaving him dizzy and powerless.

“With my divine soul as King of Witch Gu, I beseech the Ancient Wilderness Gods: reveal the chasms within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, grant Yuan Bao’s living soul return!” The androgynous voice, with a strange accent of the Foreign Tribe, sang as though chanting or extolling…

Gu Changsheng watched in shock as the golden light before him formed a phantom, watching it sing in response with its tiny bug mouth.

“Dandan…” Gu Changsheng called out absently, but the Dandan Bug remained solemn and sacred, paying him no heed…

“Soul-Devouring Python! Seize Yuan Bao’s soul!”

As Gu Changsheng focused intently, tension written all over his face, the Dandan Bug suddenly shouted at the Soul-Devouring Python that coiled shivering nearby!

“Hiss hiss!”

In the next instant, the body of the Soul-Devouring Python heeded the call and swam over quickly!

Surrounded by an aura of golden light, a dark breath began to congeal near Yuan Bao, while the Soul-Devouring Python opened its mouth wide as if to engulf it!

“With my divine soul as King of Witch Gu, I beseech the Ancient Wilderness Gods: reverse time within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, drive away the calamities of Yuan Bao’s body…”

Watching the Soul-Devouring Python finish its swallowing, the phantom of Dandan Bug began to chant again.

With the sound of the chant, Gu Changsheng could clearly feel that the body of Yuan Bao cradled in his arms was gradually warming up!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng eagerly placed his wrist on Yuan Bao’s pulse, his gaze lingering on Yuan Bao’s pale, snow-white cheeks.

“There’s a heartbeat! Although he hasn’t woken up yet, there’s a heartbeat! Dandan!” Yuan Bao’s eyes were still tightly closed, but Gu Changsheng exclaimed with boundless joy.

Compared to the coldness just now, Yuan Bao now had warmth, a heartbeat…

This was already an unbelievable result for her!

“Soul-Devouring Python, you mustn’t refine and consume Yuan Bao’s soul. Keep it safe in your Snake Gallbladder!” The Dandan Bug’s small head drooped weakly as it spoke, and the golden light around it dimmed considerably.

“Dandan!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, looked up anxiously.

“Dandan’s Mom, the Vermilion Bird consumes the Ten Thousand Gu and can protect the body from decay after death. Have the Vermilion Bird stay by Yuan Bao’s side!” Dandan Bug said feebly.

“Yes, yes! I remember!” Gu Changsheng hurriedly nodded upon hearing this.

“I’ve preserved Yuan Bao’s body, the Vermilion Bird will prevent decay, the Soul-Devouring Python will protect his living soul. Dandan’s Mom, find the White Tiger Gu; it can endow Yuan Bao with life force. And the Black Tortoise Gu, let it lead Yuan Bao’s living soul back into his body!” The Dandan Bug said with drooping eyes and weakly opened its mouth, “Dandan’s Mom, you have as long as eighty-one days. If after eighty-one days Yuan Bao’s living soul cannot return to his body, no one in this world can save him anymore!”

“I know! I understand! Eighty-one days, I will definitely collect all four Gus and resurrect Yuan Bao!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, nodded resolutely.

“When this human revives, it will be the day that the thunder of heavenly retribution falls. Little human, I want to see who dares to act against all odds, trapping my divine soul in your flesh!” The chilly and proud androgynous voice echoed in Gu Changsheng’s mind.

“You!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, wanted to ask more but the next moment, the Dandan Bug turned into a beam of light, entering her forehead and disappearing without a trace.

“Dandan! Dandan, how are you?” Gu Changsheng clutched Yuan Bao in her arms, calling out anxiously in her heart.

But the only response she got was silence.

In her mind, there was nothing but a frail red bug shimmering with faint golden light, curled up into a ball, clutching its belly in agony…

“Dandan, if there really is thunder of divine retribution, I will bear it for you! Even if it strikes me into ashes, I won’t let you be hurt a single bit for my sake!” Gu Changsheng, looking at Yuan Bao, who looked as if he were sleeping peacefully in her arms, spoke solemnly.

Yuan Bao took a sword for her and died!

The divine retribution brought by Dandan to save Yuan Bao should be borne by her!

After all, she was the true cause of it all!

“Fire Chicken, guard him well, and do not leave his body for a moment,” Gu Changsheng said as he placed Yuan Bao on the ground, bent down to embrace the Fire Chicken in his arms, and spoke solemnly.

“Gugu…” The Fire Chicken nodded its little head vigorously, incredibly well-behaved.

Gu Changsheng put the Fire Chicken at ease next to Yuan Bao and gently patted its little head, “Don’t worry, Yuan Bao will be alright, he will continue to enslave you for cooking!”

“Gugu…” I know, I know!

Seeing this, the corners of Gu Changsheng’s mouth curled into a smile of relief, but within that smile was a hint of bitterness.

Faced with a thousand men surrounding her at Red Rock Mountain, she was confident and proud, never expecting that while she had predicted the outcome, she hadn’t foreseen the end…

Miaosu Posuo!

She actually took advantage of her unpreparedness and killed her Yuan Bao!

If she did not avenge this, she, Gu Changsheng, would have no face to continue living in this world!

“All of you, stand back!” Gu Changsheng shouted coldly, holding the Chonghua Dagger as she slowly rose to her feet.

Her face was smeared with blood, like a Rakshasa, and a golden droplet on her brow was dazzling…

“My lady?”

“Changsheng?”

The few who were engaged in battle with Miaosu Posuo, upon hearing this, immediately turned around, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at the woman approaching them.

Under the cover of night, the woman in red, now with patches of dark bloodstains, had even more blood smears across her entire face!

Like a devil that had crawled out of Asura Hell, it was a shocking sight!

“Changsheng, this person is very strange. Swords and sabers cannot hurt her at all!” Even Zhou Mu, who was extremely confident in his martial arts, had to speak the truth, waving his longsword to block Miaosu Posuo, standing in front of Gu Changsheng.

Si Xi and Liu Nv, also covered in blood, retreated from the battlefield, protecting their lady.

“Haha… Phoenix Clan’s scourge also dares to covet the Southern Border? Such a foolhardy path to death. Today, I will let you be buried on this Red Rock Mountain, as a funeral offering for my Futu disciple!” Miaosu Posuo’s face was entangled and covered with black withered branch patterns, her dark nails long and pointed, holding a Bone Sword, aiming directly at Gu Changsheng.

“You killed my Yuan Bao!” Gu Changsheng looked at her expressionlessly and spoke softly.

“So what if I killed him? None of you shall escape today! Haha…” Miaosu Posuo laughed maniacally, a chilling murderous intent in her eyes, like maggots on bones, making one’s skin crawl.

“My Yuan Bao, was obedient and pleasing, and you dared to kill him…” Gu Changsheng thought of Yuan Bao lying cold in her arms, a series of stabbing pains in her heart, her hand holding the Chonghua Dagger pointing straight at Miaosu Posuo, fearless.

“Changsheng, don’t act rashly. This person is very strange, and we can’t hurt her!” Zhou Mu, seeing this, nervously spoke out.

“Hehe…” Gu Changsheng chuckled upon hearing this, her laugh filled with ruthless determination as she stared at the strange Miaosu Posuo and spoke gravely, “Of course you can’t hurt her! Because she’s not human at all!”

Zhou Mu and the others were startled upon hearing this.

“As long as there is a living being, without my antidote, they cannot escape my Crisp-boned Fragrance! You were able to escape it, which can only prove that you are not a living being, nor are you human!” Gu Changsheng, holding the Chonghua Dagger, ignored the surprised Zhou Mu in front of her and moved forward deliberately, “Miaosu Posuo, you used the Bone Sword and the poison of the Corpse Gu to kill my Yuan Bao! Right?”

“What does it matter if it’s right or wrong?” Miaosu Posuo snorted disdainfully upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng didn’t pay attention to the people around her and pressed on, speaking with a heavy voice, “There are no Corpse Gu in this world because the Gu insects of the Corpse Gu only reside in the dead! Miaosu Posuo, you are a dead body that forcibly binds the soul within and uses this dead body to breed the Corpse Gu, harming my Yuan Bao! Such an act against the heavens, you really are capable! Since you killed my Yuan Bao, then I will kill you, a life for a life!”

“Kill me? Haha… What a joke! For decades, no one has discovered the secret of my dead body. Since you know it, then you must die! And you talk about killing me? There are countless strong ones in this world, but none can harm my undead body!” Miaosu Posuo burst into laughter as if she had just heard the joke of the century.

“Harm your undead body?” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, with a wicked smile, spoke coldly, “Who said I wanted to harm your undead body? With Corpse Gu protecting your body, this Gu does not belong to this world, and even with the Blood of the Serving God flowing in me, I can’t harm even a bit of your body that’s like copper walls and iron ramparts!”

“Then you still dare to boast so confidently? You might as well surrender!” Miaosu Posuo, with a murderous intent showing in her eyes, responded.

Gu Changsheng gave her a glance, raised her sleeve to wipe the blood from her face, and spoke firmly, “Surrender? The word ‘surrender’ does not exist in Gu Changsheng’s dictionary. There’s only survival of the fittest, not waiting for death! Miaosu Posuo, you killed my Yuan Bao, harmed my kin and family, so today, it is inevitable that one of us shall not survive! Yet unfortunately, I don’t have such a good temper. Because of you, I’ve tasted the pain of life and death, and am willing to violate nature’s course, so all of this, you must bear it!”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng raised her Red Sleeve, the Chonghua Dagger aiming straight at Miaosu Posuo, “I want you dead! I will tear you to pieces, I will make your soul disperse and prevent you from reincarnation, to disappear forever!”

“Arrogant fool, you do speak grand words! Enough talk—prepare to die quickly!” Miaosu Posuo, her face’s branch patterns becoming denser, spoke gravely.

“No hurry!” Gu Changsheng looked up with a malevolent smile, “Aren’t you curious how I can make such bold claims?”
