Chapter 580: 432 Chapter The Death of Ning Er

In the next instant, a red shadow, carrying the rolling waves, rushed toward the lakeside.

"Splash!"

"Thud!"

The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms standing next to those at Yue Xilou were all knocked down by the waves, falling into the water in groups, never to rise again.

At this sight, Yue Xilou and Borjigin Nian were immediately dumbstruck!

Looking at Gu Changsheng, their eyes widened in disbelief!

"Ning Er! Ning Er!"

But at this time, Gu Changsheng had no time to care for these, as she threw herself next to Ning Er, her red dress soaked in the lake water, enchantingly and vividly brilliant...

"Ning Er! Ning Er, wake up, I’ve woken up, you won’t be in trouble! You won’t be in trouble!"

Gu Changsheng reached out to take Ning Er from Kun Nu’s hands, and trembling, she covered Ning Er’s face, pale as paper!

The touch was ice cold...

That coldness pierced straight to her heart...

A tear unexpectedly slid from the corner of Gu Changsheng’s eye...

"Ning Er..."

That person, who was like a spirit behind her, that woman who had always protected her since they were at the small courtyard beneath Baili Mountain...

Gu Changsheng vividly remembered how, whenever she was extremely bored, she would summon Ning Er and tease her...

Gu Changsheng vividly remembered her, always so indignant yet unable to voice her frustration, the image of helplessness...

But now, that person, bloodied and bedraggled, lay in her arms, bone-chillingly cold, utterly silent...

"Ning Er..." Her finger traced a tear of blood by Ning Er’s eye, and Gu Changsheng murmured distractedly...

From now on, there would no longer be a spirit called Ning Er, constantly following her...

"She... she’s dead..."

A timid voice echoed in Gu Changsheng’s mind...

"Shut up!"

With eyes brimming with tears, Gu Changsheng yelled hoarsely in anger...

Ning Er was dead, truly dead!

Lifeless, even though she prided herself on her astonishing medical skills, there was nothing she could do...

Now, she lay in her arms, pale and quiet...

The people nearby couldn’t help but be stunned.

Shut up? Who to shut up?

Ever since Gu Changsheng woke up and flew back here, no one had dared to speak a word...

"Gu Changsheng?" Borjigin Nian called out her name from a distance, with a face full of worried caution.

"Young lady!" With a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, Yue Xilou also looked over with concern.

Under everyone’s worried gaze, Gu Changsheng, holding Ning Er’s body, slowly stood up.

Her blood-red dress trailed across the surface of the lake, as Gu Changsheng walked step by step towards the lakeside, holding Ning Er’s body...

Soaked on the shallow shore were not only the bodies of the enemy soldiers of the Three Kingdoms but also one after another in black clothes, bodies full of wounds...

Every one of them was covered in bloodstains, a ghastly sight...

Yet, they still lay facing the heart of the lake, still in a defensive posture...

She had seen these black clothes before...

When she first met Yue Xilou, the people from the Western Tower Assassin’s Hall who had come to assassinate her had worn such clothes...

But this time, were they here to protect her?

For her?

Because of her, Gu Changsheng, so many living beings now lay by the bank of Hengtang Lake, with no chance of survival...

The body of Ning Er in her arms was chilling to the bone, and weren’t these bodies on the ground the same?

She was a doctor, and even when she had activated her inner strength until delirium, she merely wanted to send Si Xi and Dong Lei out, but seeing one person after another killed by her, she grew soft-hearted...

She could never be cold and ruthless...

Never like cutting down grass...

But now...

Because of her moment of compassion, so many people, so many people, died for her!

It was all her fault!

It was her fault!

"Gu Changsheng!" Borjigin Nian exclaimed in alarm, hastily supporting Yue Xilou and stumbling towards Gu Changsheng, "Gu Changsheng, don’t go forward, they’ve all gone mad; if you go further, you’ll be in danger!"

As Borjigin Nian anxiously shouted, looking at the army by the lake, their long spears raised, ready for combat...

Gu Changsheng ignored Borjigin Nian’s shouts...

Tears fell as she looked at one black clothed body after another, dripping onto Ning Er’s dead body...

Step by step, Gu Changsheng trudged forward through the lake water dyed red with blood...

The trail of her blood-red gown flowed behind her like a blooming Mandara flower, bewitchingly devouring the soul...

"I thought, if I died, perhaps you would lay down your butcher knives..."

"I thought, my death would be the end of it all..."

As Gu Changsheng slowly approached, the vast army in front of her retreated in panic...

"I gave you a chance at life, yet you killed her, killed them..."

Gu Changsheng said, looking down at the lifeless Ning Er in his arms, tears once again blurring his vision...

"Ning Er... Ning Er! Return Ning Er to me! Return their lives to me!"

In an instant, the previously grief-stricken Gu Changsheng roared hoarsely with all his might.

Inner strength burst forth from his body, his Bloodied Clothes whipping up a fierce wind, stirring without any breeze...

"Ah!"

"Puh!"

"Thud!"

As Gu Changsheng’s voice fell, a great swath of the army before him cried out in pain, vomiting blood, and were sent flying backwards...

"The entire army mobilized to surround and kill me, to harm my child... I had no grievances with you lately, nor enmity in the past, yet you murdered my family and plotted against my life... Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all beings as mere hunting dogs, you... why, why must you force me... why must you force me..."

Gu Changsheng stared intensely at the few figures in bright yellow robes standing on high ground, muttering to himself in a trance...

Why must they force her?

Why must they compel her to truly begin a massacre...

Her death matters little, but what wrong have those around her done?

Why must they kill them, to force her?

Why?

"Giggle... Are they all bad people? Then you go kill them..."

A small voice arose in Gu Changsheng’s mind, this time with a hint of cheerfulness...

"Kill them! Yes! I will kill them! For Ning Er, and for the Dead Soldiers who died because of me! I want their blood to pay this blood debt! Let them accompany Ning Er and the others in death!" Gu Changsheng suddenly came to his senses, his eyes bloodshot, and his gaze fierce as he swept over the thousands of soldiers in front of him...

"Giggle... You have a dagger on you, named Chonghua, take it out, and someone will help you lift the seal on you..."

The small voice echoed in Gu Changsheng’s mind again, causing him to start, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly...

He indeed had a dagger called Chonghua!

It was a gift from his little bun who had snagged it from the Treasure Pavilion of Yue Kongque...

"Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng, let’s find a way to escape! Their forces are gathering again!" Borjigin Nian supported Yue Xilou and came to Gu Changsheng’s side, speaking anxiously.

Little Monk Bu Jie followed suit, and Kun Nu also came forth, carrying Tan Nv...

Gu Changsheng turned his head, only to see his family, all in disheveled states...

Yue Xilou was covered in bloodstains, an arrow still lodged in his shoulder...

Kun Nu was even more patchy...

And Tan Nv...

These people, whom he considered as dear as family, had been so harmed for her sake...

Tears-marred Gu Changsheng turned around, handing over Ning Er’s corpse to them, then turned to face the people standing atop the high ridge, his voice grave, "Debts must be paid, and a life for a life is the justice of heaven and earth! If you are merciless, don’t blame me for not caring for the commoners of the world!"

As Gu Changsheng spoke, he strode forward, his right hand slowly lifting, a foot-long blood-red dagger suddenly appearing in his palm!

"Chonghua!"

As Yue Xilou saw the dagger, his pupils involuntarily constricted!

"What Chonghua?" Borjigin Nian heard this and looked away from the dagger, puzzled as he looked towards Yue Xilou.

"It’s the supreme treasure passed down through generations in my Bright Moon Tower. It’s rumored that the Chonghua Dagger is exceedingly sharp, can sever hair in the breeze, pierce through the void, and break all seals in the world. It was merely an encumbrance in my Treasure Pavilion. When Xiao Gu Ze asked for it to give to his mother, I agreed, but though Gu Changsheng had the Chonghua for a long time, I never saw her use it. Now that she’s taking it out... what is she going to do?" Yue Xilou spoke solemnly, his eyes also filled with confusion.

"Amitabha! All is well! Today, I fear not all will end well..." Little Monk Bu Jie twirled his Buddha Beads quickly, chanting under his breath, "It is destiny! It is destiny! Indeed, no human can change it..."

"Shang Xie! Damn it, you’re always babbling all day! Now Gu Changsheng is going off to court death!" Borjigin Nian roared angrily upon hearing this!

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng was already holding Chonghua, close to the army!

Watching closely, those blades and spears were about to pierce her body!

"That... what is that?" Jin Linyuan, from his elevated position, looked down at the flash of a Red Blade in Gu Changsheng’s hand and spoke gravely.

"I don’t know! No one has ever seen her weapon!" Sima Liancheng replied gravely, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes, "Now that she has drawn her weapon, can any of us leave Liuzhou City alive?"

"We cannot!"

From afar, Gu Changsheng’s gaze was fierce as he looked their way, his Phoenix Eyes filled with a bloody, overwhelming fury of slaughter!

"You! You murdered my family and harmed my child, today, none of you shall leave this place alive! I demand your blood for their lives, to appease their spirits in heaven!"

The chilling voice made everyone tremble in fear!

In the next moment, Gu Changsheng, holding Chonghua, stabbed herself in the chest, her lips parting slightly, she spoke slowly, "You want my Heartblood, I’ll give it to you! Help me, help me get revenge!"

"No! No! Just a little bit! Just a little bit! That’s enough, that’s enough!"

An anxious small voice echoed through her mind...

Gu Changsheng felt as though she could sense that in her mind, a frantic little figure was scurrying about...

"Your biological parents are really too bullying, who would make such a seal! If not careful, the one who tries to break the seal might end up killing themselves!" the small voice rasped indignantly, "It’s so hard to break, it’s making me exhausted..."
