Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1474 - 1118: Dugu Jieao, Take My Palm!
"Southern Emperor, watch out!"
This cry resounded throughout the entire square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
It was impossible to tell who first spoke, but everyone’s hearts leapt within their chests!
Because, in the blink of an eye, Dugu Jieao, standing not far behind Gu Changsheng, raised his hand to strike at Gu Changsheng’s back!
The move revealed a faint ripple of Inner Strength rolling on Dugu Jieao’s withered old hand!
Since Gu Changsheng woke up, the once overlooked Dugu Jieao suddenly made his move!
None of those present anticipated this scene!
Upon knowing Gu Changsheng’s identity, Dugu Jieao struck once more, not just with any strike, but a killing blow!
"Die, Gu Changsheng!"
With a roar, Dugu Jieao’s old face darkened as ink, his eyes full of sinister intent.
Kill her!
I must kill her!
She has revealed herself to be the Southern Emperor. If I don’t kill this woman now, then I’ll be the one to die next!
Dugu Jieao was already standing at the edge of a precipice, unable to retreat or advance...
He clearly understood that no matter his action—forward or backward—only death awaited him!
Remember, on the stage behind him stood two Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue!
At this moment, Dugu Jieao had to acknowledge a fact: the recent anomaly in Linyuan City was indeed due to Zhou Mu; he was indeed seeking a Conquest Realm here!
This had completely sealed Dugu Jieao’s path back!
No!
More accurately, it sealed the entire Dugu Family’s retreat path!
No way back, no retreat, death awaited him!
Then, even in death, he would take someone down with him!
Were they not all revolving around this Southern Emperor?
Fine!
Then I’ll kill her! Kill her!
With a heart set on killing, Dugu Jieao delivered his move, exceptionally ruthless!
"Elder!"
At the moment Dugu Jieao struck, young disciples in the ring wearing the Dugu Family emblem couldn’t help but cry out with terror.
The next instant, their faces turned as pale as snow!
In truth, they didn’t know why the elder of the Dugu Family, Dugu Jieao, was doing this. Did he not consider the consequences? Didn’t he think of the entire Dugu Family?
That’s the Southern Emperor!
To strike openly against the Southern Emperor, what does that imply?
Now, whether Dugu Jieao could kill the Southern Emperor with one blow was no longer important. What mattered was that from the moment he struck, he plunged the entire Dugu Family into hot water...
"You dare, Dugu brat!"
Seeing Dugu Jieao’s strike about to land on Gu Changsheng, Old Madam Zuoqiu’s eyes bulged as she shouted fiercely, wanting to intervene, only to realize she couldn’t compete with the assassin’s rapid strike coming from Dugu Jieao’s back!
The fierce killing intent, carrying boundless Inner Strength, was only an inch from Gu Changsheng’s back!
A step closer!
Just one step closer!
If hit by this killing blow, Gu Changsheng would surely die!
In that instant, everyone present almost stopped breathing!
"Changsheng!"
"Gu Changsheng!"
Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue cried out suddenly, their slender figures instantly turning into lightning as they dashed towards Gu Changsheng!
In the blink of an eye, just as Dugu Jieao’s palm was about to hit Gu Changsheng’s back, Gu Changsheng suddenly moved sideways and dodged...
The speed was ghostlike, so fast that even Old Madam Zuoqiu felt dazzled, unable to discern Gu Changsheng’s movement clearly!
"Boom!"
The next instant, the Mecha Puppet standing next to Gu Changsheng emitted a thunderous noise under Dugu Jieao’s palm, its figure swaying but remaining upright!
A palm strike missed, leaving Dugu Jieao momentarily dazed!
How was this possible?
How did she do it?
In fact, upon seeing Gu Changsheng dodge at that instant, Dugu Jieao altered his palm’s trajectory, striking towards Gu Changsheng’s dodge direction!
However, she still evaded!
At such a critical moment, she seemed to anticipate the palm’s trajectory, even the attack direction...
But how was that possible?
Even without two Spirit Bodies, he, Dugu Jieao, remained a Master of the Transformative Realm!
Moreover, a Master of the Transformative Realm who followed the path of assassination!
How could Gu Changsheng possibly dodge his fatal strike?
That’s impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
But in the moment of Dugu Jieao’s daze, after dodging his lethal strike, Gu Changsheng did not stop!
Her figure ghostlike, moving so fast that even the experts present were seeing things in a blur, unable to observe clearly!
The crowd only heard a cold shout echo...
"Don’t mind!"
Don’t mind!
Just this sentence made the two slender figures rushing over suddenly halt!
In Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s eyes, a trace of shock flickered!
Honestly, when they saw Dugu Jieao suddenly strike, the two almost lost their senses!
Yet this single sentence steadied their hearts instantly!
She’s fine!
Not only is she fine, but she’s doing great!
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, and then they halted their figures a yard away from the side observation platform, no longer approaching!
The crowd watching only saw their two slender figures suddenly stop, and then, when they looked towards the side platform, they witnessed a scene that left them dumbfounded!
Godfather!
How did this all happen?
When did Southern Emperor Changsheng stand behind Dugu Jieao and raise his hand as if to strike?
Wasn’t this Dugu Jieao’s move just now?
How come their positions swapped before anyone could even blink?
Wasn’t it Dugu Jieao who suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind the Southern Emperor earlier?
How, in seconds, did their positions swap?
"Dugu Jieao, take one of my palms!"
The icy shout, carrying boundless pressure and the aura of a strongman, instantly emanated from Gu Changsheng!
No longer sealing away her inner strength, no longer relying only on speed, Gu Changsheng made her move!
Dugu Jieao’s move, Gu Changsheng could dodge!
But his dodging couldn’t match the borrowed speed from Dugu Jieao’s own technique!
The inner strength inherited from Southern Border ancestors and elders exploded instantly, condensing in Gu Changsheng’s palm, almost tangible, directly striking towards Dugu Jieao’s back...
Dugu Jieao’s palm hit nothing, and under Gu Changsheng’s cry, he abruptly turned, seeing Gu Changsheng’s palm infused with inner strength close at hand!
Dodge!
He must dodge!
This palm sent a chill through Dugu Jieao’s body, instinctively perceiving danger, he subconsciously chose to evade!
Side move!
At the same angle as Gu Changsheng, only...
Speed...
Still far slower than Gu Changsheng!
Gu Changsheng watched Dugu Jieao’s futile resistance, her bright face curved into a mocking smile...
As if she predicted where Dugu Jieao would end up when she landed her palm...
Shadow follows form...
Not an inch off...
"Boom!"
"Poof!"
A loud crash sounded!
The mecha puppet shook!
Old Lady Zuoqiu eyed and glared!
Shocked, she stared at the monstrous old man who fell onto the mecha puppet, spitting blood...
This time, wasn’t it the mecha puppet who took the hit?
But...
But Dugu Jieao?
The Master of the Transformative Realm, Dugu Jieao, he...
He didn’t dodge Gu Changsheng’s palm?
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"..."
A palm directly to the chest, falling beneath the mecha puppet’s feet, Dugu Jieao clutched his chest, vomiting blood, disbelief painted on his hideous old face!
How is it possible?
How is it possible?
How could he not have dodged Gu Changsheng’s palm?
"Poof!"
Another mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips, Dugu Jieao’s old face instantly turned pale without a hint of color.
And Old Lady Zuoqiu, as if realizing something, looked at Gu Changsheng with those old eyes that suddenly sparked immense joy!
"You..." Her trembling old hand raised, seeing the red-clad woman land energetically after delivering the palm squarely on Dugu Jieao’s chest, she ran a few steps forward with surprise, reaching Gu Changsheng, grabbed her shoulders, stammered, "You... you actually... actually understood?"
Understood what?
Old Lady Zuoqiu didn’t spell it out.
But Gu Changsheng, seeing the unrestrained excitement in Old Lady Zuoqiu’s eyes, slowly withdrawing her palm, slightly curved her lips into a smile, nodded lightly, and uttered a word, "Hmm!"
Yes, she understood!
Inspired by Old Lady Zuoqiu’s sudden and precise silver needles that injured Dugu Jieao!
Amidst Dugu Jieao’s fight with Old Lady Zuoqiu, disturbing her entrance into the Realm of Sudden Enlightenment!
Gu Changsheng understood!
The path has a boundary, the way is finite, but limitless are human thoughts!
After pushing open that door, what she saw was a barren land...
In the barren land, only her thoughts expanded indefinitely, further enlarged!
Expanded so much, that she became like a grain of dust, recalling moments of past battles...
She finally understood why Zhou Mu, who hadn’t reached the Conquest Realm, could always fend off her fierce strikes!
She finally understood why Old Lady Zuoqiu’s silver needles could hit Dugu Jieao, the Master of the Transformative Realm!
Indeed, she understood!
She understood that speed can have limits, people can have limits, but human thoughts can remain unbounded, vast and limitless!
She understood her path of boundlessness...
