My goodness! What kind of strange cultivation technique does this person practice? His body is billions of times stronger than steel and iron, indestructible. Countless innocent souls have died under my precious sword in the past, and I have never failed. I never thought I would meet a tough opponent today. My poor precious sword is gone just like that.

At this moment, besides feeling deeply shocked, a surge of anger welled up in the black-clad man's heart, and his hatred for Gu Changqing intensified.

On the other hand, Gu Changqing was looking at the man in black with disdain, as if to say to him, "You're so incompetent and useless."

In fact, that was exactly what Gu Changqing thought. In his opinion, this person was nothing but trash. So what if he was at the peak of the tenth level of the Immortal Emperor realm? He was still no match for him.

The palace master, who was watching from the sidelines, as well as the palace maids and guards who were slacking off in the shadows, all stared at the scene before them in utter shock, dumbfounded, as if they had been possessed.

"Don't get too excited. This is nothing. I was just warming up. I didn't even use my full strength. If I were serious, I would have beaten you to a pulp by now," the man in black said stubbornly and defiantly.

"You're really shameless. You can't beat them, but you refuse to admit that others are stronger or more capable than you. You're so hypocritical," the palace master said sarcastically.

Her gratitude towards Gu Changqing was overflowing; it was all thanks to his help.

At this moment, all the grievances, anger, and sullenness were released. Recently, this man had made her restless, unable to eat or sleep well, as if she were being pressed down by a huge stone, feeling like she could hardly breathe and was suffocating.

"You little slut, you think you're all that now that you have a man protecting you? What are you so smug about? Once I deal with this guy, you'll be next, you little bitch. I'll make you pay later." The man in black was furious when he saw that the palace master dared to speak rudely to him and kick him while he was down.

"With me here, let's see who dares to touch her. If you want to die, come on over. I don't mind sending you on your way." Gu Changqing retorted with an air of authority and dominance.

The man in black was thoroughly enraged by Gu Changqing's words. Furious, he stopped talking nonsense and a green sword appeared in his hand.

The sword was entirely green, made of some unknown material, resembling fine jade, shimmering with a green light, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel. Even the slightest aura emanating from it made one feel its extreme sharpness.

He used all his strength to strike Gu Changqing with all his might. Instantly, countless air currents exploded around him, and a terrifying shockwave, like a category 10 typhoon, gathered between his fingers. The terrifying wind and waves were chilling.

My God, that man in black has unleashed a powerful attack! This is terrible! I wonder if he can withstand it. The Palace Master's expression was grave and filled with worry.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing sneered repeatedly, then waved his hand, sending a slap flying faster than lightning, unstoppable. A terrifying killing intent erupted, raging forth with an overwhelming aura that seemed to have existed since time immemorial, filled with boundless killing intent, roaring and surging.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided violently, instantly unleashing a deafening explosion that sent sparks flying, shook the earth, and was utterly terrifying.

Under this terrifying fluctuation, the void could not withstand it and cracked layer by layer as if a mirror were shattering, which was extremely frightening.

With a "crack," a shimmering green sword and a dark shadow were propelled hundreds of meters away by inertia before crashing to the ground with a "bang."

Instantly, a large, human-shaped crater was smashed into the ground, and the man in black lay upside down, resembling the Chinese character "大" (big), as if a coffin had been specially made for him.

At this moment, the man in black lay resentfully in the pit, his face pale and his whole body in excruciating pain, as if his body had been reassembled. He was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a word for a long time, and he couldn't help but vomit mouthful after mouthful of blood, which looked like red tea and was quite frightening.

He thought to himself: What kind of monster is this? Even I suffered at its hands. Damn it, I forgot to check the almanac before I left home. I should have stayed home today.

Upon seeing this, the maids and guards beamed with joy and rushed out from the dark corners, chattering amongst themselves.

"My God, that was so powerful! I felt my body shaking, and I almost flew backwards."

"Holy crap, this is amazing! This is incredible! It's terrifying, it's an eye-opener."

"Not bad, not bad, we've finally avenged our Yuntian Palace."

...

Looking at Gu Changqing, who was unharmed, he smiled faintly at the man in black in the distance, appearing calm and collected, as if it were none of his business.

After a while, the man in black slowly crawled out of the pit. With great effort, he managed to stand up, fumbled around at his waist for a while, and finally pulled out a black pill.

This pill is about the size of a ping-pong ball. It looks pitch black and is made from an unknown substance. It emits a strong, strange smell that is nauseating and extremely unpleasant to smell.

The man in black suppressed his inner turmoil and swallowed the pill.

Then they saw the man in black emanating black energy, his face turning from deathly pale to radiant and full of vitality. His previously fragile body instantly recovered, a world of difference from before, making him seem like a completely different person.

This elixir may seem incredibly potent, but in reality, it only temporarily restores a person's energy and spirit to normal for a short period. It doesn't last long and is merely self-deception.

"Hahaha, I'm back safe and sound again," the man in black said smugly.

"What's there to be happy about? If you hadn't taken the pills, you might have already died," the palace master said with a resentful expression.

I don't know what he ate, but he recovered instantly from his serious injuries, which were not expected to heal. It's infuriating!

"Shut up, you little bitch, a defeated opponent, what right do you have to speak?" the man in black cursed unhappily.

"It's true that I can't beat you, but you're no less defeated than my husband. What right do you have to speak? I think you're just being stubborn. So what if you took the pill? You're just at your last gasp." The palace master frowned and retorted without any politeness.

"Damn it, how dare you say I lost? You're asking for death!" The man in black, his sore spot touched, said angrily.

He then channeled all his strength and unleashed a vicious punch, powerful and domineering, the terrifying shockwave sweeping across the heavens and earth, heading towards the direction of the palace master.

The palace master was shocked and turned pale, taking several steps back in fright.
