Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 758: Chapter 593: Not a Single Piece of Armor Left

Assisting the tyrant?

Those words are too harsh!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but take them to heart!

Amidst the ravages of the city, Gu Changsheng opened her mouth instinctively wanting to retort—she was never one to suffer losses silently!

However, before she could voice out her response, a purple-gold figure flashed by her side. The next instant, Little Monk Bu Jie’s brightly shining head tilted to one side!

”Scary!” Zhou Mu’s sudden move frightened Gu Changsheng quite a bit. Without time to think, she lunged towards the small figure, catching it just before it was about to embrace the ground intimately!

Little Monk Bu Jie’s soft little body fell into her arms. Gu Changsheng didn’t care about his dark, dirty clothes, she hugged him with one arm and checked his little neck with another, ”Evildoer, why did you knock him out? What if you’d hurt him?”

Poor heavens, she had had the Little Monk by her side for a long time and hadn’t dared to touch even a finger!

And this evildoer just swung a hand-chop down and knocked out her Little Monk.

This move with a club was skillfully executed!

”Such a bloody scene is not suitable for children!” Zhou Mu’s dark eyes were bottomless as he reached out and lifted Little Monk Bu Jie from Gu Changsheng’s arms, ”Don’t worry, this sovereign knows restraint and won’t harm him.”

With that, he tossed Little Monk Bu Jie’s body over to the approaching Si Xi.

With Yuan Bao on his back, Si Xi instinctively reached out to catch him!

Thus, with a pearl-round back and a compassion-filled embrace, Si Xi was miserable, wanting to cry without tears!

”Master?” Why was it him? Why was it always him? He was a chamberlain, not a porter!

These words, Si Xi only dared to mutter in his heart.

Gu Changsheng watched Little Monk Bu Jie fall into Si Xi’s arms, the corner of her mouth twitching. Well, her evildoer’s methods were simple, direct, and violent, but as facts had shown, they were exceptionally effective!

Finally, she no longer had to endure Little Monk Bu Jie’s potentially lethal nuisance! Her ears were spared at last!

”Liu Nv, heed my command, purge Canglan City, leave no one behind! One Shichen later, continue moving forward!” Staring at the city before her, tinted crimson red with the setting sun, Gu Changsheng spoke sternly.

”Yes, Commander!”

At her command, Liu Nv answered immediately and disappeared into various areas of Canglan City!

The next instant, sounds of agonizing, desperate struggles echoed throughout Canglan City!

The explosion had destroyed the city, but ultimately, some people in the ruins had miraculously survived.

Now, those miracles no longer existed!

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu in the front, marched deeper into Canglan City, and wherever they went, any living creature vanished completely, reduced to pools of blood in their hands!

As Zhou Mu had said, she didn’t have much time left!

It must be a swift and decisive battle!

This was a massacre! A massacre without resistance!

Canglan City, seventy thousand people, and with this city’s collapse, along with the entry of Gu Changsheng and her companions, vanished forever from the land of the Southern Border!

Blood merged with the sunset, creating a horrific sight everywhere. Gu Changsheng walked among the ruins of the city, her face cold at first and then numb. She kept swinging the Chonghua Dagger in her hands. As the red light flashed, those lives, fortunate enough to have survived initially, fell one after another creating lifeless corpses under her command!

”If Little Monk were to see this, he would surely nag me non-stop.”

From the city gate to the end, cutting through the entire city, Gu Changsheng stood behind a mottled city wall and murmured softly.

”He won’t see it.” Zhou Mu spoke softly. The next instant, Little Monk Bu Jie, showing slight signs of consciousness in Si Xi’s arms, tilted his neck again, falling onto Si Xi’s arm.

All this made Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitch. After a while, she managed to find her voice again, ”It’s hard for me to believe that our monk, who seems like he’s got cheat codes activated, would be so easily knocked down...”

If she had known, why the hell did she even run!

Honestly, ever since she met Little Monk Bu Jie, even Gu Changsheng hadn’t been able to discern just how many magical properties were hidden within that tiny body of his!

The last of the Secret Sect as a disciple, besides chanting scriptures and stargazing, he had only taken action once!

That night, long ago, Gu Changsheng still vividly remembered! She and everyone beside her, fighting fiercely against the Futu Demoness, and in their moment of despair, Little Monk had descended like a heavenly soldier ...

Thus, although Gu Changsheng didn’t fully believe in Buddhism, she held a sort of imperceptible reverence for Little Monk Bu Jie!

Moreover, she was terrified of the compassionate Little Monk Bu Jie, especially after she had taken a life!

She was afraid that Little Monk Bu Jie would pester her to chant scriptures and preach a myriad of grand principles!

”Him? How could he be so easily overpowered...” Zhou Mu looked at the doubtful young woman in front of him, lifted his hand to rub his little head, and spoke softly, ”His heart embraces the whole world—he pities and empathizes with the people. Just, the current situation is not something he can stop, and he himself doesn’t want to see it...”

So, was Little Monk Bu Jie willingly overpowered?

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened immediately!

See, she had said it, her cheats-enabled monk was not so easily defeated!

But she was relieved, she had held back, it was the evildoer who acted!

This settling of accounts after autumn would not be traced back to her!

”A friend in need is a friend indeed,” Gu Changsheng looked at Zhou Mu with sympathy filled in her eyes!

As the sun set, Canglan City had turned into a city of the dead! The thick scent of blood lingered, as the inner strength around Gu Changsheng spread out, covering the entire city. Apart from the people near her, she could no longer sense the presence of any other living beings...

What was once a prosperous city had met its demise overnight due to its allegiance to the Miaosu Clan—a night that left the city broken and its people perished, without a single armor left!

And Gu Changsheng did not stop her advance, her red garments stained with blood; the vicious aura couldn’t be hidden. Without any pause, Gu Changsheng led the people around her to raid the nearby cities once again!

One by one, the terrified spies, fleeing indiscriminately, but ultimately, they still made it back to their respective cities before Gu Changsheng!

Hearing the distraught and sporadic descriptions from the spies, the rulers of the other seven cities that had received the war summons could no longer remain calm!

”Canglan City... slaughtered...!”

All seven city lords, in their respective cities, upon hearing the report, uniformly fell to the ground.

It was slaughtered! Truly slaughtered!

More bloody, more brutal, and more decisive than the massacre at Miaosu City!

All of this had exceeded the tolerance of the seven city lords!

Honestly, when they heard that the first target of the Phoenix Sovereign was Canglan City, the rest of the seven city lords were secretly pleased, thinking that the Phoenix Sovereign’s journey would be hindered at Canglan City!

After all, although Canglan City was not the biggest among the cities allied with the Miaosu Clan, it was genuinely a city brimming with soldiers!

Who doesn’t know that Canglan City is filled with relatives and former officials of the Miaosu Clan?

Yet, such a city brimming with soldiers was wiped out in an instant, no longer existing!

The seven city lords panicked!

The lord of Cangmi City, the nearest to Canglan City, upon receiving the spy’s report that the Phoenix Sovereign was heading straight for Cangmi City, fell to the ground with an old and feeble body, his face pale as he glanced at several of his subordinates sitting below him, and with difficulty waved his hand, ”Send the messenger, quickly send word, Cangmi City surrenders! Hang the surrender flag high above the city!”

The spies reported that once the appointed time came and no surrender flag was seen in Canglan City, then without even a chance to speak, they were slaughtered in minutes!

Lessons from the former, lessons for the latter!

”It’s not that Cangmi City surrenders without a fight, but the disparity in military strength is too great, there’s no power to fight!” The old city lord, with a face full of misery, beat his chest and stamped his feet, then instantly tore a piece from the hem of his robe and fiercely bit his finger.

Bright red blood flowed down his finger, and with a determined expression, the old city lord wrote a blood scripture. Upon completing the blood scripture, he immediately rose to his feet and drew the sword from his side, placing it across his neck!

”My Lord!”

Upon seeing this, the subordinates below immediately stepped forward, their eyes wide with a shocked cry.

”With the Phoenix’s Monarch sweeping across the Southern Border like thunder, he will surely not forget past grievances. In this life, I have betrayed an old master, executed the remaining officials of the previous dynasty, and my hands are stained with fresh blood to achieve over twenty years of glory and wealth! Now that the Southern Border Royal Family descends upon the Southern Border with a vigorous momentum and decisive killing, in order to avoid implicating the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Cangmi City, my death is a small sacrifice!” the old city lord spoke, tears streaming down his aged face, ”Enough, enough, to be able to see the return of the descendants of the Phoenix Imperial Clan in my death, what harm is there in my dying?”

At this point, the old city lord bowed his head, looking towards his subordinates who were kneeling and weeping silently, his face filled with sorrow as he spoke, ”You have followed me in rebellion, but this still does not change the fact that the Phoenix Clan is the legitimate Royal Family of the Southern Border. I have left a blood scripture, praying that the Phoenix’s Monarch will spare Cangmi City and forgive you. You must remember, it was the Xiangka Clan who plotted the rebellion those years ago; our joining in the rebellion was already an unforgivable sin. Whether the Phoenix’s Monarch forgives or does not forgive, do not harbor a grudge. The causes of the past bring the effects of the future. We have enjoyed over twenty years of riches and honor, and now we meet our deserved ends. You, holding my blood scripture, go and kneel at the city gate to welcome the Phoenix’s arrival. Whether she spares or not, it’s all in your destiny now. I can’t help you anymore!”

”My Lord!”

Upon hearing this, the ten or so middle-aged Gu women kneeling below burst into tears, their faces filled with terror!

In the next instant, the old city lord’s longsword, which lay across his neck, slashed through his flesh!

A streak of fresh blood stained the City Lord’s Mansion!

Under the night sky, a procession of about two hundred people slowly approached Cangmi City, illuminated by torchlight.

Han Qiu, Xiao Cui, and the four sisters of Jin, Yu, Liang, and Yuan led the way, with a palanquin in the center!

The silver ornaments of the Southern Border Miao Girl tinkled under the night sky, reminding everyone in Cangmi City that the unstoppable, peerless, and unyielding Phoenix’s Monarch had arrived!

Before even approaching Cangmi City, Liu Nv was already on full alert, ready for battle.
