Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 816: Chapter 645: Nine Layers of the Celestial Tome

Another encirclement came, and Borjigin Nian’s body staggered again. Fortunately, Lau Mang, like a mountain, was there to shield her from the fatal encirclement, or else she would have lost her life!

Dozens of long spears pressed against Lau Mang’s back. His rugged face turned crimson due to the exertion from resisting.

”Princess, I, Old Liu, was entrusted by the lord to guard you, and today it seems we must die together!” Lau Mang cleared the encircling men, flashing a grin at Borjigin Nian.

He was once a guard at Prince Mu’s Mansion guesthouse, from a nameless soldier to a prominent figure under Prince Changsheng’s Dark Night Personal Guards, experiencing countless trials over the year, and now being able to die on the battlefield is worth it!

Moreover, isn’t he accompanied by the beautiful Northern Mongolian Princess?

”Brute is a brute! Before dying, I might as well take more with me!” Wiping the blood from her mouth, Borjigin Nian leaned against Lau Mang’s back, intending to take a few Southern Chen soldiers with them as they faced death.

In front of Shanmen City, the eight hundred Dark Night Army had exhausted their strength, adopting the same method, leaning back-to-back, making their final stand!

”They have no strength left!” Observing the battle ahead, the Southern Chen defensive general was overjoyed, having sacrificed hundreds of thousands of troops to wear out the Dark Night Army’s strength. Victory was within reach; behind Shanmen City lay the great Dayao Mountain and the avenue leading directly to the Southern Border!

”Charge! Charge for me! Exterminate the Dark Night Army! Head straight for Dayao Mountain!” The Southern Chen General raised his arm and, with his tens of thousands of personal guards, launched another attack.

Looking at the surging Southern Chen army, Borjigin Nian’s lips curled into a bitter smile, ”It’s almost over! I’ve taken enough! This old lady, commanding the Shanmen City battle, though exhausted and dying, at least slaughtered their three hundred thousand soldiers. This will surely go down in history!”

”How exhilarating! I, Old Liu, do not die in vain!” Lau Mang spat a mouthful of blood, shouting loudly.

”Come, come! If you want to cross Shanmen City, step over my dead body!” With a broken spearhead stuck in her arm, Diao Chan leaned against Shanmen City’s gate, slapping her chest and shouting.

”Dying without seeing that fierce girl Xiao Cui, I wonder if she’ll think of me...” Yhan Ting, covered in blood from head to toe, smiled bitterly.

”Really? At a time like this, you’re still thinking about Xiao Cui. If the lord finds out, you’ll get another training session!” Jiang Liu, beside him with a hole in his stomach, sneered.

”Haha! Well, at least she won’t be a widow since I didn’t marry her!” Yhan Ting laughed again, looking at the surging Southern Chen army, spat some blood, ”Come, let us live and die with Shanmen City as the Dark Night Army!”

”Swear to live and die with Shanmen City!”

”Swear to live and die with Shanmen City!”

”...”

The exhausted Dark Night Army, eight hundred wounded, retreated to the front of Shanmen City. Seeing the approaching Southern Chen army, their faces showed faint smiles of relief.

Death is not scary.

They have already tried their best!

”Kill!”

”Kill!”

”...”

The Southern Chen army, seeing the exhausted remnants of the Dark Night General, was filled with fighting spirit, charging forward.

”Hiss hiss...”

”Hiss hiss...”

”...”

”What sound is that?”

Tightly against Shanmen City’s gate, Borjigin Nian’s body stiffened, and behind her, a rustling sound approached like a tidal wave!

In the next moment, Borjigin Nian’s ashen face burst with boundless radiance.

”Reinforcements! The reinforcements have arrived!”

Gu insects! She smelled the scent of Gu insects!

Unlike the Gu insect aura released by Xia Ruyan, this was more magnificent and grand than the aura emitted by over two thousand Gu women!

”Boom!”

A huge crash sound fell from Shanmen City’s ramparts, causing a splash of blood on the battlefield in the dark night.

Massive waves of Gu insects, with this sound, spilled down like a waterfall from Shanmen City’s ramparts...

”Damn it!” Covered in sticky Gu insects, Borjigin Nian’s body lost its balance, directly against the gate, quickly waving her hand to brush off the insects from her face and head.

On them are remnants of Gu Changsheng’s blood, so these Gu insects couldn’t harm them one bit!

Borjigin Nian and the remaining eight hundred Dark Night soldiers at Shanmen City’s front, without exception, were covered head to toe with insects!

Already exhausted, they were comically knocked to the ground by the tidal wave of Gu insects, unable to get up!

”Damn it, I didn’t die on the battlefield, am I going to be crushed to death by Gu insects?” Lau Mang waved his hands, fending off the falling Gu insects above his head.

The situation for the rest of the Dark Night Army wasn’t much better. They hurried to protect their heads, shielding themselves from the oncoming swarm of Gu insects!

This sudden transformation left the Southern Chen army, surging in, in a daze!

”What... what is that?” The Southern Chen General stared at Shanmen City, which seemed like a flood discharge, and the writhing tide before it, utterly dumbfounded!

”Gu! Gu! Gu tide!” Behind the general, an old think tank with a head full of white hair roared lowly, unable to stop himself from retreating.

”Don’t retreat! Don’t retreat!” The Southern Chen General grabbed the retreating old think tank in front of him, roaring lowly with bloodshot eyes, ”What is a Gu tide? What is it?”

Being grabbed by the general, the old think tank trembled heart and soul, confusedly speaking, ”Southern Chen’s history records, more than a thousand years ago, the Southern Border swept into the Central Plains, millions of Gu insects as soldiers became the Gu tide, where it passed, thousands of troops and horses left no corpses, no corpses...”

”Impossible! This is impossible!” The Southern Chen General shook his head in panic upon hearing, ”Southern Border has ancestral training, the times cannot leave the Southern Border ground...”

”The Gu tide out of Southern Border... the Gu tide out of Southern Border, Nine Layers of the Celestial Tome... Southern Border, Southern Border has moved the whole clan...” The old think tank shook his head lost, in panic, ”Let me go! Let me go! I don’t want to leave no corpses! I don’t want to leave no corpses!”

In front, the dense and dark Gu tide didn’t move, all aligned along the bottom from Shanmen City, a giant python several meters high formed a serrated wave crest...

Boundless bloody smell spewed out from the thousands of Gu tides, rushing towards the tens of thousands of Southern Chen troops!

”Retreat! Withdraw!” The Southern Chen General roared with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth to order!

The rear troops received the order, immediately turned around.

However, the scene behind them made their hearts tremble greatly, speechless!

In the endless night, skull heads, bloodstained bloody mouths, breathing in boundless blood Qi, were waiting for their retreat...

In the midst of the skull heads, a witch in white, soared in the air, holding a scroll of yellow in her hands...

”Celestial... Celestial Tome!” The old think tank being held by the Southern Chen General caught sight of the scroll of yellow, immediately cried out in shock, his neck tilted, fainted away.

”Celestial Tome! Celestial Tome! Impossible! This is impossible!” The Southern Chen General looked at the soaring woman before him, panicked, turned around, looking towards the front of Shanmen City.

Before Shanmen City, atop the towering head of the giant python, stood a Miao girl likewise holding a yellow scroll.

The night was pitch black, torches flickering, the two yellow scrolls ahead and behind, in this night, shone so brilliantly, so trembingly!

Among the general’s speechlessness, the expressionless Gu Maiden in Miao’s Clothes atop the giant python’s head, her white palm trembled, the yellow scroll immediately drooped in her palm, a line of golden words facing the flickering night, dazzlingly bright.

The clear cold voice, with Southern Border Miao girl’s unique tone, echoed throughout Shanmen City’s sky in an instant.

”Witch Gu Calendar thirteen thousand six hundred seventy years, Bashu and Southern Border acclaim a new master, Southwestern Co-Ruler Emperor Changsheng presides over Witch and Gu Tribes, dare to violate ancestral pact to offend our Southwest, our Southwest God Favor Clan of Witch Gu, cannot be insulted! Heaven and earth bear witness, Central Plains base acts violate ancestral pact first, Witch and Gu Tribes resist second, those who offend our Southwest, even far must be exterminated! This by Emperor Changsheng Celestial Tome as proof, decree Witch and Gu Tribes’ children, when Celestial Tome bestows Nine Layers, Witch and Gu Tribes’ millions of soldiers lie before Central Plains!”

The clear cold voice of the Gu Maiden envoy transmitting the Celestial Tome, devoid of any emotion, plain and direct.

The Southern Chen General upon hearing, staggered, directly fell off the warhorse, extremely embarrassed.

”Witch Gu Calendar thirteen thousand six hundred seventy years, Bashu accepts Southwestern Co-Ruler Emperor Changsheng Celestial Tome decree, He Clan moves!”

Behind, suspended in mid-air, the witch, flicked the witch robe, the yellow scroll in her hand trembled slightly, yet it was Bashu Witch Tribe’s acceptance order!

The Southern Chen General’s face immediately turned ashen.

The tens of thousands of Southern Chen troops looked blankly at the unmoving darkness ahead and behind, suddenly felt, this night, perhaps would be an eternal night, never to wake!

What is Celestial Tome? They never saw.

However, in Central Plains legend, indeed once was the existence of Celestial Tome!

Legend, a millennium ago, the Southwest Witch and Gu Tribes unsatisfied with the harsh oppression, rose simultaneously, trampled Central Plains, that battle once was Central Plains’ catastrophe! Wherever Celestial Tome was delivered, countless Central Plains military and civilians, left no corpses...

However, this legend in the long river of time, gradually was forgotten by people, Witch and Gu Tribes’ former prestige, after the wash of time, became a joke in Central Plains people’s hearts, they occasionally heard this legend, always mocked with a laugh, what abilities these two tribes paying tribute yearly to Center Plains could have? Mostly a fabrication by the ancestors, thus there was such a saying!

Yet now, under the deterrence of Celestial Tome, they understood, what meant where Celestial Tome delivered, no corpses left!

This Gu tide formed by millions of Gu insects, these countless Great Witches sacrificing deadly witchcrafts, how could they escape?

Once, when they heard Celestial Tome, always mocked disdainfully, now, they became the Central Plains base tribe in the Celestial Tome!

Compared to the God-favored Witch Gu Tribes capable of manipulating witchcraft, they indeed were insignificant, were base tribes!

Yet, never having seen the Divine Power of Witch and Gu Tribes, they still didn’t believe!

”Celestial Tome bestows Nine Layers! Celestial Tome really bestows Nine Layers!” The Southern Chen old think tank thrown on the ground suddenly awoke, in faintness, vaguely heard the words of Celestial Tome, just awakened, muttered lost, a defeated gray in the depths of his eyes, ”Southern Chen... Central Plains... catastrophe! Wherever Celestial Tome delivered... Central Plains’ catastrophe...”

More than a thousand years... Central Plains more than a thousand years hadn’t heard of Witch and Gu Tribes Celestial Tome’s name, now...
