Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times
Chapter 1669 - 1291: Struggle Across the River, Slaughtering a Bloody Path!
The evildoer’s swordsmanship in her family was inherently forceful and overwhelming, akin to the power of splitting a mountain. At this moment, it was the most suitable method to deal with these giant crocodiles!
At least, it was much better than her own forte in close combat!
As Gu Changsheng’s words fell, the blood-colored Flying Dragon Phantom had already heeded her will and flew toward the Soft Sword in Zhou Mu’s hand!
In almost the blink of an eye, the Soft Sword that Zhou Mu held, which originally had a white blade, turned blood-red like fire, becoming even more fierce!
"Changsheng?" Zhou Mu saw this and immediately let out a hoarse growl of protest.
His little woman only had this Flying Dragon protecting her, yet she gave it to him!
"Evildoer! Kill! Just keep moving forward, don’t worry about behind! Carve a bloody path!" The terrifying aura of the man-eating ants from behind was getting closer and closer. Gu Changsheng had no time to look back, nor did she have the time to divert her attention to see the reaction of the Hidden World Clan people and Gadatu. Her gaze remained fixed on the rippling river surface...
"But you..." Zhou Mu heard this and clenched the blood-colored Soft Sword even tighter.
"Don’t worry, you lead the way, I’ll be right behind you!" Gu Changsheng, knowing the concern of her evildoer, gave him an assuring look, then tapped her toes and leaped toward the river surface...
Seeing this, Zhou Mu dared not delay!
Grabbing the blood-colored Soft Sword in his hand, his purple figure turned into a streak of light, flying toward the river surface faster than Gu Changsheng...
The actions of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu immediately stunned the despairing Hidden World Clan people and Gadatu. Both of whom were previously immersed in certain death, now had expressions of shock on their faces upon seeing this...
"God! What are they trying to do? Are they courting death? In the river, there are lots of giant crocodiles..." Yu Qingqiu was dumbfounded by the actions of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu. In his eyes, the behemoths in the river were as terrifying as the man-eating ants behind them, leaving no chance of survival!
Even masters have no defense against these terrifying natural creatures!
"No! They want to fight to the death! Follow them!"
The Elder of Bai Family, Bai Wuao, almost at the moment he saw Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s actions, a spark of hope flashed in his eyes!
These two were arguably the top geniuses of the world, and they were the most formidable enemies of their Heavenly Kingdom’s ambition to step into this continent!
If, at this moment, there were anyone on this continent who could make Bai Wuao see a glimmer of hope in despair, Bai Wuao believed it was undoubtedly Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu!
It is said that those who hold high positions are always endowed with noble grace and blessed protection!
And Bai Wuao believed that Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, these two already unmatched individuals, surely had the luck to turn danger into safety...
However, it was almost without Bai Wuao’s command that the people of the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu, upon seeing Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu flying toward the river, were already moving at their feet!
Did they follow them without even having to discuss it?
Absolutely without negotiation!
Joke aside,
Behind them, the army of man-eating ants was already upon them, with no more routes of retreat. Who else would they follow if not Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu?
Regardless, staying here only meant death!
Following Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, at worst, they would die with them!
Dying alongside people with whom they had unresolved conflicts, not to mention it had become the most perfect result the Hidden World Clan people could hope to achieve!
Because they lacked any courage or confidence to overcome the dual threats before and behind them!
As the Hidden World Clan people and Gadatu moved toward the riverbank, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu had already leaped onto the river’s surface!
Almost at the moment the reflections of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu appeared on the river surface, the giant crocodiles, ready to shore up, leaped from the closest water and broke free of the surface...
Their large blood-red mouths opened wide, as if waiting for a delicacy to fall into them...
"Kill!" Letting out a low growl, Zhou Mu, whose body plunged into the river, let out a deep sound, and the Crimson Soft Sword in his hand instantly straightened, unleashing sword energy...
"Kill!" Following behind her evildoer, Gu Changsheng also let out a low growl, holding the Crimson Dagger in a constant state of readiness...
The murderous aura emanated from both of them...
It was as if it originated from Hell itself, making one’s breath tighten with tension...
The people of the Hidden World Clan stood cluelessly on the shore, their expressions turning blank as they watched those two figures battle with the giant crocodiles on the water’s surface...
Godfather!
Are they still human?
How can humans be so domineering?
This river, isn’t it clearly the territory of the giant crocodiles?
"Boom!"
The sword in Zhou Mu’s hand struck with the momentum of splitting a mountain and sea, directly cleaving toward the forehead of the highest leaping giant crocodile...
No intricate moves, no flashy gestures!
Zhou Mu’s techniques were similar to Gu Changsheng’s in that they valued practicality over aesthetics!
Their specialty was incapacitating the opponent in the shortest time!
Especially Zhou Mu, whose commanding presence forged from numerous battles was undeniable!
As he swung this sword, the wild imposingness surged instantly!
It was as if this place was his home, his kingdom, where everything besides him should be vanquished!
And indeed, that’s exactly what he did!
"Bang!"
As the sword descended, a loud crash sounded over the water’s surface, and the giant crocodile’s massive form lost its support and plunged into the water!
Standing on the riverbank, the members of the Hidden World Clan and Gadatu could clearly see that as the giant crocodile fell into the water, a deep blood hue spread across the surface, gradually diluting from thick to pale...
"Heavens! Did he... did he kill the giant crocodile?"
The sound of throats gulping, words stammered in disbelief, echoed on the riverbank in an instant...
At this moment, the smell of blood from the giant crocodile spread in the river, as if igniting explosives, the water surface suddenly became tumultuous...
Countless shadowy figures beneath the surface were swiftly moving towards the source of the bloody scent...
At this time, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s speed in the air slowed dramatically, their bodies descending towards the water’s surface...
Fortunately, the corpse of the slain giant crocodile had already floated up, conveniently providing a foothold for them...
Standing back to back on the floating corpse, Gu Changsheng held the Chonghua Dagger, while Zhou Mu held the blood-colored Soft Sword, both of their expressions incredibly grave...
"Here they come!" The two words issued from Gu Changsheng’s mouth, then her eyes shifted as she shouted softly, "Right!"
Almost simultaneously, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu adjusted their stance on the crocodile’s corpse!
Her Short Dagger was not suited for long-range battle!
And they absolutely could not let the crocodile get close!
"Splash!"
The next instant, the sound of water breaking occurred from the right side, and ever prepared Zhou Mu, with his blood-colored Longsword in hand, swept horizontally at the gaping bloody mouth of the crocodile that had leapt from the water...
"Ssssss..."
The sound of flesh being ripped, sharp and ear-piercing...
The potent smell of blood instantly permeated the area...
"Boom!"
The forceful sound of falling water resounded once more, so massive that their stance on the floating crocodile corpse was destabilized, yet they had no time to relent!
Because everything had just begun!
Gu Changsheng clearly understood that the fresh blood from the crocodile, the scent of its kin, most effectively stirred up the crocodile’s brutality!
They had already killed two giant crocodiles, this battle had finally initiated its overture...
Next, all she could do was guard the back of her evildoer!
Because in the water below, the lurking crocodiles would surely besiege them...
The idea of avenging their companions, the crocodiles wouldn’t understand such matters, they’d only be driven mad by the scent of their comrades’ blood!
"Splash!"
"Splash..."
Indeed, two more sounds of water breaking rang out simultaneously!
"Left! Behind!"
Almost simultaneously, two brief words came out from Gu Changsheng’s mouth, and once again, they changed their stance!
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Splash..."
A rain of blood exploded around them, instantly...
"Boom!"
"..."
Watching her evildoer successfully strike down one of the two crocodiles that emerged from the water simultaneously, Gu Changsheng instantly withdrew the Inner Strength she had used to block the other crocodile’s assault, sliding her feet to once again get behind her evildoer...
Meanwhile, Zhou Mu also turned almost simultaneously to face the crocodile originally behind him...
Coordination!
Total trust!
Seamless coordination!
Seamless coordination entrusted with the life of their partners’ backs!
No words necessary, they could achieve this world’s most perfect harmony!
"Bang..."
"Splash...
The sound of Sword Qi sweeping through the air, the sound of falling water, the crocodile’s blood mixed with the water splashed by their falling corpses drenched Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu from head to toe...
Slick, sticky blood made the two look like bloodied figures, as if they had crawled out from a sea of corpses, the horrific killing intent concentrated around them, glaring and resolute like the fresh blood on their bodies...
Almost dripping off, the blood clinging to Gu Changsheng’s long lashes slightly blurred her vision, yet Gu Changsheng didn’t even have time to blink...
Several crocodile corpses floated on the river surface, forming a small patch, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu moved as if they shared a mind, leaping, advancing...
Was this vast river lacking any footholds?
Very well, then they’d carve a bloody path, using the dead crocodile bodies blocking their way to pave a road to life!
Nearly at the instant Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu landed on another floating corpse, they faced the incoming crocodiles from the river’s center towards the bank, and this time, the numbers were so overwhelming that Gu Changsheng’s expression tensed immediately, "Evildoer, be careful!"
