Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1476 - 1120: In the Mortal World, I Decide Rise and Fall!
Dugu Jieao is now insane!
Like a dying man, he no longer has even the last straw to grasp!
His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was stained with a large patch of blood. All he thought about now was dragging Gu Changsheng down with him!
Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue watched as Dugu Jieao launched another attack on Gu Changsheng. Both shook their heads simultaneously, with no sympathy on their faces, as if they were watching a man doomed to die!
"Seeking death!"
As expected, as Dugu Jieao’s voice fell, a cold, low rebuke came from Gu Changsheng’s mouth. As if she had eyes on her back, her figure shifted sideways, and her long arm extended...
In an instant that seemed like eternity, Dugu Jieao’s desperate move, a final struggle, had already been unleashed...
"Boom!"
The poor Mecha Puppet was hit once again, its humanoid wooden body swayed briefly, emitting a loud noise.
And Gu Changsheng’s extended arm, those slender, fair five fingers, clasped onto Dugu Jieao’s neck after his slap missed the mark!
The sticky sensation of blood on her fingertips made Gu Changsheng frown slightly, a look of disgust appearing on her face.
She was once a doctor, even now, she always thought that besides being the Southern Emperor, she was more suited to being a doctor. Being a doctor inevitably meant dealing with blood, but Gu Changsheng just hated blood!
Hated the smell of blood and the feel of blood!
"I will kill you! I will kill you! Gu Changsheng, I will kill you!"
With his neck in Gu Changsheng’s grip, Dugu Jieao flailed his arms, trying to lunge at the near yet unreachable Gu Changsheng.
"Boom!"
A simple movement, void of any embellishments, ended with Dugu Jieao’s arms ceasing their struggle in an instant!
"Ahhhhh!"
A cry of unwillingness erupted from Dugu Jieao’s mouth, steeped in bone-deep reluctance and despair.
"Dugu Jieao!"
Under the tense gaze of everyone, Gu Changsheng’s strikingly beautiful face was frosted over, a dot of Holy Golden between her brows burning brightly, making her seem unapproachable as she spoke coldly.
"Dugu Jieao, back in Licheng City we fought, at the time, you were unaware of my identity. The Medical Immortal Old Man intervened to protect you, making you destroy two of your Spirit Bodies to compensate for the injury to my ally. I initially dismissed this grudge, but I don’t know who gave you the audacity to keep opposing me from behind!"
Her voice was icy, as if recounting something inconsequential, carrying the overpowering pressure of the Southern Emperor, her gaze towards Dugu Jieao was one of disdain, as if looking at speck of dust!
"Secretly instigating other noble families, fabricating rumors time and again to put me in the spotlight, the issue with the spectator seats—I wouldn’t be surprised if you were behind those sneaky moves. Even then, it was my fault for wearing a mask and not revealing my identity. But Dugu Jieao, even if you are an Elder of the Hidden World Clan, to dare disturb my opportunity for Sudden Enlightenment, and even attempt to kill me twice after I revealed my identity—you and your family, I, Gu Changsheng, will not let you off!"
With that, a murderous look appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face as her fingers, still clasped around Dugu Jieao’s neck, slowly tightened.
"Young one..."
Old Lady Zuoqiu witnessed this and couldn’t help but show a look of concern, stepping forward in an attempt to intervene. But remembering Dugu Jieao’s relentless intent earlier, she was lost for words.
"Ancestral Granny is pleading for him?" Gu Changsheng turned her head immediately upon hearing Old Lady Zuoqiu’s voice.
"Not to plead for him, only, he is after all an Elder of the Hidden World Clan..." Old Lady Zuoqiu shook her head with a bitter expression.
"In the Hidden World Clan, Elders are of high status, but here in the mundane world! Here, I reign supreme! Opposing me, Gu Changsheng, he should already have been prepared to meet his end!" Gu Changsheng shook her head resolutely, "Hurting my ally, he deserves death! The Medical Immortal Old Man asked me to spare him once to maintain the balance among the Hidden World Clan, and I did. It was his unrepentant nature that led him to this!"
Here, Gu Changsheng paused, turning her gaze to the assembly of Hidden World Clan Elders and young members on the platform, with the commanding presence of the Southern Emperor, her face cold as ice, "Since you’re holding the Nirvana Martial Contest in this mundane world, you should adapt to the local customs! Dugu Jieao, touching my reverse scale is unforgivable; don’t bring the balance of the Hidden World Clan up to me, having such despicable individuals only tarnishes the Hidden World Clan’s reputation! Today, I will kill him, I will strip the Dugu Family from the Hidden World Clan, those who dare stop me, prepare to face the might of the Southern Emperor!"
"Gu Changsheng, how dare you!"
Dugu Jieao, who seemed to be caught in a frenzied state, snapped back upon hearing these words, glaring at the woman before him with rage and shouting.
"There is nothing under heaven that I, Gu Changsheng, do not dare! Just watch if I dare!" Gu Changsheng turned, her voice low and commanding, "Hidden Guards, hear my order, take all members of the Dugu Family into custody. Dugu Jieao is beyond redemption; the Dugu Family’s members, for aiding and abetting, share his guilt. Kill without mercy!"
"As you command!"
"As you command!"
"..."
As Gu Changsheng’s words fell, Diao Chan, hidden within the crowd all along, was the first to respond. Following her, dozens of People in Black flew onto the platform!
"Gu Changsheng, how dare you! How dare you kill a member of the Hidden World Clan!" Dugu Jieao, seeing this, immediately shouted hysterically, trying to break free from Gu Changsheng’s grasp, only to realize he couldn’t move an inch!
On the stage, watching the sudden appearance of dozens of solemn-faced people in black, the Hidden World Clan, whether elders or young disciples, instantly panicked!
If, a moment ago, they still doubted whether Gu Changsheng’s identity as the Southern Emperor was real or fake, then at this moment, facing such solemn Hidden Guards, they suddenly realized just how foolish their previous wishful thinking was!
This woman, this heir of the Medicine King Valley, she truly is the one who rules over half the world in this mundane realm!
Southern Emperor Gu Changsheng, the Southern Emperor who commands the world and leads thousands of troops!
"Take action! Leave no one behind!" The rough figure of Diao Chan, like a man, waved her large hand, and dozens of people in black moved instantly!
The young disciples of the Hidden World Clan, although they had no names written on their faces, carried themselves with arrogance, believing they were different, all wearing clothes embroidered with their family emblems, making them easily identifiable!
Diao Chan had no worries about them capturing the wrong person!
Knowing that the disciples from the Hidden World Clan who came to participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest weren’t ordinary, Diao Chan dared not be careless. Thus, the Hidden Guards concealed beneath the stage far exceeded the usual number. This time, the Dugu Family only sent six disciples to the Nirvana Martial Contest, who, in the blink of an eye, were subdued by the dozens of people in black!
"Let us go! Let us go! On what grounds do you capture us! We are people of the Hidden World Clan!"
"Get lost! Are you crazy, daring to capture us! Let us go!"
"..."
The elders and young talents of the Hidden World Clan just stood there, watching in shock as a group of people in black rushed like wolves into the Hidden World Clan disciples, capturing all the young disciples sent by the Dugu Family!
Resist?
What a joke!
This was an order from Southern Emperor Gu Changsheng, and resisting meant being enemies with the Southern Emperor—were they fools?
If not, they just watched helplessly as the centuries-old renown of the Hidden World Clan was swept away, never to return to its former glory again!
Conflicted, struggling, for a moment, they didn’t know what to do!
"Let us go!"
"Let us go!"
"..."
The six disciples of the Dugu Family being captured still shouted anxiously, but no one paid them any heed. At this moment, under Gu Changsheng’s wrath, no one dared utter a word of dissent! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The ears filled with the indignant roars of those six people, Gu Changsheng looked at the endlessly struggling Dugu Jieao before her, a fierce curve lifting at the corner of her mouth as she spoke in a deep voice, "Dugu Jieao, everything is of your own making. After knowing my identity, you should never have been against me time and again! It is you who have brought ruin upon your family!"
"You! You..." At this time, Dugu Jieao was truly panicked. He suddenly realized he had provoked the Southern Emperor, not the legendary one who wielded power over the world, but the real one standing right before him, eyebrows arrogant, looking down upon the world!
Yet Gu Changsheng, at this moment, had no desire to glance at the hideous person before her. The hand clasped around his neck’s vital point suddenly exerted force...
"Creak... Creak..."
The sound of bones fracturing came...
"Creak... Crea..."
Dugu Jieao struggled, wanting to speak, but couldn’t form words, only able to keep widening his eyes, gradually losing their light, as mouthfuls of fresh blood continually poured from his mouth, dripping...
"Bang!"
Just before the blood could drip onto her hand, Gu Changsheng waved her sleeve, exerting force once more, and harshly flung Dugu Jieao outward!
"Glug... Glug..."
Blood continuously flowed from Dugu Jieao’s mouth. Thrown to the ground, he lay there like a tattered burlap sack, twitching, wanting to raise his hand to cover his neck, only to find his arm could not move!
Cold!
All around, boundless coldness rushed through Dugu Jieao’s entire body in an instant. He seemed to see death wielding its scythe beside him, about to cut his life away...
The previously shouting and struggling six young disciples of the Dugu Family suddenly became so scared they lost their souls upon witnessing this!
That was... their elder!
Gu Changsheng couldn’t even be bothered to look at the thrown Dugu Jieao, her bright little face full of grimness as she glanced at Diao Chan and the six restrained Dugu Family disciples behind her, waving her long sleeve again...
