Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1439 - 1087: The Second Move—She Must Be Faster!
The Goddess of Mercy’s move is so fierce!
A Master of the Transformative Realm, using such a merciless technique during the trial of Hidden World Clan’s disciples, especially against Gu Changsheng, made Zhou Mu very displeased!
The hand hidden beneath the purple sleeve slowly clenched, the tall figure slightly leaned forward from the chair, watching the every movement of the two on stage, ready to take action at any moment...
"What are you planning? To help her?" Shi Wujue glanced at Zhou Mu at the right moment, raised his eyebrow, and spoke in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu glanced at Shi Wujue with a meaningful look!
"Heh... As they say, concern leads to chaos, isn’t this exactly your situation? Have you ever thought whether she wants you to help her? Wouldn’t a victory gained by luck be illegitimate?" Shi Wujue shook his head slowly, sighed, and looking at Gu Changsheng’s rapidly dodging figure, said softly, "She is like us, born with pride, how could she rely on others for help..."
"..." Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s deity-like face slightly changed, and in the next moment, the clenched hand slowly loosened, the straight back leaned back against the chair, and he completely relaxed, letting out a long sigh.
"Uncle Wood, can my mother win? That old lady looks so formidable!" The chubby little child nervously rubbed his chubby little hands, looked at his mother, and asked worriedly.
"Win? Heh... Not losing is winning!" Shi Wujue laughed upon hearing this and responded even before Zhou Mu could speak.
Exactly!
Someone teetering on the edge of limits, in terms of strength, how much inferior to the opponent?
Not losing is victory!
This is Gu Changsheng’s current situation!
Everyone below the stage looked nervously at the actions of the old and the young on the stage!
Fast!
Incredibly fast!
Those whose skills are weaker or whose eyesight is poor couldn’t even see the movements of the two, only vaguely sensing their speed, incredibly fast!
"Immortal Young Kid! Still trying to run!" Chasing closely behind Gu Changsheng, the patience of the Goddess of Mercy is about to run out, she shouted in a low voice and sped up again, directly aiming the horsetail whisk in her hand at Gu Changsheng’s back!
"Ah!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng didn’t even have time to turn her head, she just felt a fierce wind whistling past her back, making her scalp tingle, and in the next moment, her entire body shifted sideways, dodging the Goddess of Mercy’s attack!
Landed awkwardly, Gu Changsheng rolled twice on the spot before kneeling on one knee to stabilize her posture...
A burst of scorching pain on her back, obviously caught by the residual power of the Goddess of Mercy’s horsetail whisk!
However, Gu Changsheng knew this was only a minor flesh wound!
It did not cause any serious damage!
Raising her head, a smile spread on Gu Changsheng’s face, half-hidden under a mask, as she smirked and said roguishly, "Not running? Does the Goddess really think I’m a fool?"
Saying this, Gu Changsheng propped up her upper body, slowly stood up from the ground, raised her hand, patted the dust off her clothes, and continued with a smile, "Goddess, you allowed me to take the first move, and I’m still standing strong!"
"You!" The Goddess of Mercy tightened her grip on the whisk, and a hint of malice flashed across her old face, "I held back just now, you won’t be so lucky with this second move!"
"Huh!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately sneered, a disdainful curve on her lips, and said in a deep voice, "Goddess, why say such a thing? Vent your grudges from the past on me if you must, I bear the responsibility for the debts and love affairs of my old man as his disciple. You know how much effort you put into your move, and if not for my wit in dodging at the last moment, my back and head would have been skinned by your whisk, right?"
Acting after the fact and still pretending? Gu Changsheng indicated she wouldn’t tolerate it!
"You! Arrogant child! You’re courting death!" The old story of Wu Xi being brought up publicly made the Goddess of Mercy’s old face turn the color of pig liver, her grip on the whisk became even tighter!
"Goddess, use your full strength, make your move! Don’t let people think you deliberately went easy and let me win by luck, I don’t care for such a victory!" With arrogance written all over her features, Gu Changsheng stood ready to respond.
"You! Courting death!" Hearing this, the Goddess of Mercy shouted loudly, and the next moment, her figure transformed into a flash of lightning, the whisk in her hand carrying the force of a thousand pounds, directly striking towards Gu Changsheng!
"Careful!"
"Mother, be careful!"
"..."
Liu Fengyun and the chubby kid stood up in tension from their platforms, loudly reminding.
The second move of the Goddess of Mercy was too powerful!
The inner strength used subtly made the whole stage tremble, giving off an impression of earth-shaking force!
From such a distance, they could feel the impact of this inner force, let alone Gu Changsheng, facing it directly?
The pressure she is under is imaginable!
The inner strength locked, the suppression of momentum made Gu Changsheng’s movements somewhat difficult!
Now, the Goddess of Mercy is truly enraged!
This move was a killing strike, obviously intending to take down Gu Changsheng in one blow!
"Arrogant child, even now refusing to use your inner strength, you are courting death, so I will fulfill your wish!" Holding the whisk, the Goddess of Mercy spoke with a sinister face.
That’s right!
Even at this moment, Gu Changsheng was still binding her Inner Strength!
She was able to dodge the first move from the Goddess of Mercy without using Inner Strength, relying solely on her extraordinary reflexes and speed!
But this second move, obviously, wasn’t that easy to evade!
The suppression of Inner Strength would greatly hinder Gu Changsheng’s speed and sensory acuity, preventing her from dodging as she had during the first move, solely relying on speed!
To release the self-binding of Inner Strength? To use Inner Strength to counter the suppression of the Goddess of Mercy’s Inner Strength?
If she were to abandon the path of enlightenment at this point, it would be akin to giving up the opportunity to surpass herself on the brink of life and death!
Should she give up?
No!
She wouldn’t!
Without the Way, the Path cannot be questioned!
Even if she could win the Nirvana Martial Contest and claim the reward of First, if by then, she hadn’t recognized the path she wants to take, merely having the opportunity to secure the Supreme Treasure of the Conquest Realm wouldn’t be enough to allow her to succeed in conquering the Transformative Realm!
In that case, even obtaining the reward of First would be meaningless to Gu Changsheng!
And she no longer had much time to wait and search for her path!
The Southern Country cannot remain without a master for long, the Northern Mongolian cannot be trapped in civil strife forever, and she must hurry to the Far North Godfall Site to resolve everything quickly!
Although the soon she hoped for might be delayed for a long time, Gu Changsheng had been doing her utmost to grow rapidly, so that in the unpredictable and unknown path ahead, she could have a greater chance of success!
She cannot give up!
Cannot give up now!
If she gives up now, it would mean that her plan to cultivate herself in the Nirvana Martial Contest would become an illusion!
No, she cannot!
She no longer had much time to wait!
Moreover, in front of her lies her enemies, like Fufeng Tianlan and the person behind the scenes, they were constantly scheming against her. How could she be lax at this moment?
She must break through!
She must challenge!
She must, at the crucial moment of life and death, unleash her greatest potential!
Not relying on Inner Strength, not depending on Witch Gu Technique!
Solely relying on this physical body!
"Inner Strength! Inner Strength is also generated by the body! There must be traces to follow! I can do it! I must be able to find the pattern of Inner Strength’s fluctuations and dodge it! Speed! Speed! I need to be faster!"
Under the sweep of the Goddess of Mercy’s Inner Strength, Gu Changsheng was in discomfort, unable to match, yet she showed not a hint of compromise!
Nor did she use Inner Strength!
"Ha!"
"Ho!"
"..."
Below the stage, the audience erupted in astonishment.
On the stage, things weren’t much better.
At some point, the upper stand on the other side, shrouded in black gauze, had opened. Helan Qingque, sitting up from the cushion, furrowed her beautiful brows, staring unblinkingly at Gu Changsheng, whispering in disbelief, "How is it possible? Under aunt’s full-strength strike, she actually evades without using Inner Strength, relying solely on movement technique? Such fast speed! Such tricky and bizarre angles..."
And on the opposite stage, Dantai Heyu was frowning, looking at Dantai Lan, asking in a deep voice, "Do you think this Immortal can dodge the Goddess’s second move? It seems her speed has increased again!"
"No matter how fast the speed, under the sweep of the Goddess’s Inner Strength, she cannot escape unscathed! This Immortal Lady is too arrogant! She is bound to suffer some lessons! If the Goddess were really that easy to deal with, I wouldn’t have taken months to recover from internal injuries after taking her three moves!" Dantai Lan, hearing this, shook her head noncommittally, speaking in a deep voice.
"But, you were able to withstand three moves from the Goddess, and that was because the Goddess intentionally..." Dantai Heyu interjected as she heard this...
However, her words were cut short by a cold glance from Dantai Lan, prompting her to promptly shut her mouth.
In fact, the high level of martial arts of the Goddess of Mercy was regarded as the epitome among the Elders of the Hidden World Clan, and the reason Dantai Lan could withstand three moves from her was partly because the Dantai Family and Helan Family were intentionally promoting the relationship between Dantai Lan and Helan Qingque...
But just as everyone marveled at the prowess of the Goddess of Mercy and did not have high hopes for Gu Changsheng, a reversal occurred again on the stage...
Only to see that Gu Changsheng, who had become somewhat sluggish due to the suppression of the Inner Strength of the Goddess of Mercy, was moving faster and faster, seemingly able to ignore the suppression of Inner Strength...
