The old man in black robes glared angrily, his entire body radiating the aura of a first-level Great Emperor, his powerful aura surging forth, his cultivation extremely strong and extraordinary.

"I don't know you, why are you blocking my way and preventing me from leaving?" the Qingyun Sect disciple said, puzzled.

“Exactly, I’m also curious, what’s going on with you, old man?” Gu Changqing chimed in casually.

"Actually, I don't know you either. Whether I know you or not is not important. What's important is that you killed my men," the black-robed old man said angrily.

"Who are you to me? Do we even know each other? That's hilarious. If you want to cause trouble, just say so," Gu Changqing said with a disdainful look.

"I'm not talking nonsense. My men just died, and their life jade pendants were shattered. Judging from the scene before they died, it was the two of you and a dog," the black-robed old man said righteously.

"Oh, you mean the man in the yellow brocade robe? If it's him, then it matches. But it wasn't just him who died, but also his beloved dog. He fought us to the death for his dog, and that's why he lost his life. It's truly a pity." Gu Changqing stroked his chin and smiled knowingly.

"Fine, since you admit it, I'm going to avenge him now. Which of you killed him? Come out and face your death!" the black-robed old man said angrily.

His anger had a reason: the middle-aged man in yellow who died was nominally his beloved disciple, but in reality, he was his illegitimate son. The man in yellow was also very talented, always cultivating faster than others, which made him very popular with him.

He had always been very protective of this man in yellow, whether because of his exceptional talent or because he was his illegitimate son, he had always groomed him as his successor. But now that the man was dead, all his efforts had been in vain, which caused him immense heartache and made it difficult for him to accept the fact.

Whether for public or private reasons, he had to avenge his beloved disciple; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get over it.

"What a coincidence, it wasn't the two of us who killed them. You've got the wrong people," Gu Changqing said with a smile.

"You just admitted it, so why are you scared now and going back on your word?" the black-robed man said disdainfully.

"It wasn't the two of us who killed him. The person who killed him was among this pack of dogs. I can't remember which one it was because they all look similar and it's hard to tell them apart," the Qingyun Sect disciple said, waving his hand with a helpless expression.

"What? A dog could kill my men? Are you kidding me?" the old man in black robes said skeptically.

A dog could kill his beloved disciple? That's ridiculous. His disciple was a quasi-emperor, after all. How could he be killed so easily?

No, impossible!

He just couldn't believe it!

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm too lazy to lie to you. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do," Gu Changqing said indifferently.

"Whether what you say is true or false, I will not let you go. Since you say it is it, then I will start with the dog." The old man in black robes no longer cared about who it was. Anyway, they were all going to die, and none of them would escape. They would all be buried with his beloved disciple.

"Since that's the case, then I, Gu, will not hold back. That old guy wants to kill us, so don't hold back, you dogs. Go ahead and let me see your strength." Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said to his dogs.

The dogs instantly understood, wagged their tails, and said in unison, "Yes, Master."

Seeing this, the old man in black robes said nothing more, and then unleashed the full power of a first-level Great Emperor. His aura surged rapidly, and the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling erupted from his body, like a great river, one wave after another.

A cyan divine sword appeared in his hand, emitting a cyan light. It looked extremely sharp, and a faint aura of extraordinary power flowed out from it, making it undoubtedly a sword of a powerful figure.

Without a word, the old man in black robes raised his long sword, and a flash of sword light appeared, like a thunderbolt, as he rushed towards the dogs with incredible speed.

In an instant, all the cultivation within his body surged forth!

Upon seeing this, the dogs quickly transformed into strong, muscular men, each wielding a Jade Dragon Vajra Sword, its blade gleaming with a magnificent aura.

In an instant, a sword intent flashed with cold light, radiating boundless and terrifying power, roaring in like a surging river, endless and continuous.

The terrifying sword intent surged into the heavens, soaring upwards, shattering space like a mirror, causing it to crumble and disintegrate.

Gu Changqing watched from the sidelines, looking relaxed and unconcerned. He had no intention of getting involved in the fight, as he believed it was unnecessary. He thought the dogs were more than enough to deal with the old man.

As the saying goes, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" This is a waste of talent!

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the dogs surrounded the old man in black robes. The two sides clashed violently, resulting in a deafening explosion, sparks flying, and flashing blades.

All I could see were the dogs stabbing at the old man in black robes, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

For a time, the fighting scene was incredibly lively.

After a few breaths, the old man in black robes was clearly running out of energy and was at a disadvantage. Not only were so many dogs suddenly surrounding him, but their cultivation levels were also almost equal to his. He was truly willing but unable to cope with the simultaneous attack of so many dogs.

He was angry at the time and didn't bother to find out the dogs' cultivation levels, assuming they were just ordinary cultivators. Now he's really in trouble.

Damn, I was careless. I didn't expect these dogs to be so powerful. I'm about to be overwhelmed.

The disciples of Qingyun Sect were also shocked. My God, are even dogs this powerful now? I'm not even as powerful as a dog. I'm so ashamed!

A few more breaths passed, and the old man in black robes was covered in cuts and blood, looking extremely disheveled.

The old man in black robes realized he was in trouble and tried to break free, but the dogs surrounded him so tightly that he had no chance at all.

"Stop, I'm not fighting anymore," the black-robed old man pleaded breathlessly.

Unfortunately, they seemed not to hear them at all, and continued to stab wildly at the old man in black robes.

Before long, the old man in black robes finally couldn't hold on any longer and slowly collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood.

At this moment, there was not a single patch of good skin on his body, his clothes were even more tattered than a beggar's, he was covered in blood, and his breath was weak.

Just then, another dog stabbed him, and he let out a scream before losing all his breath.

"Well done, you dogs! You deserve praise. It seems you haven't disappointed your master," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
