However, Gu Changqing's palm continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye, a blood-stained palm stabbed out from behind the fat man, with blood still dripping from the fingers. Then, before the fat man could react, Gu Changqing's other hand moved like lightning, quickly raised, and slapped the fat man hard on the head!

"Snap!!"

A scream of agony rang out, and the fat man suddenly felt the world darken, the earth shake, and he saw double images everywhere.

On his deathbed, his eyes were wide open, his face filled with disbelief and incredulity!

Back in the day, he dominated the demonic path for many years with few rivals. Even when besieged by various holy lands, he escaped with ease. I never expected to be defeated by this kid today. It's like the heavens are going to kill me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The skinny guy standing to the side was stunned, speechless, his mouth agape, completely dumbfounded!

My God, is this scene real? To kill a Celestial Emperor with a flick of the finger—how terrifying! This person could actually kill a Celestial Emperor; could he be even more powerful than a Celestial Emperor? How is this possible? This person looks to be only in his early twenties; how could he possess such formidable cultivation?

The skinny man felt increasingly uneasy. He couldn't understand what was going on. How could a young man have such great abilities?

Realizing something was wrong, the skinny man gasped. He had no time for sadness and, without a word, quietly turned and ran away.

Even the fat man was no match for him, let alone him. The fat man was an Immortal Emperor, while he was just an Immortal King, and an injured one at that. His true cultivation level was only Quasi-Emperor. If he stayed here, his fate would probably be even worse than the fat man's. He had no better option than to run away.

"Trying to leave? Leave your life behind!" Gu Changqing's eyes turned cold, and with a swift movement, he chased after her like an arrow released from a bow!

The skinny man heard a loud "whoosh" of sonic boom, which was extremely ear-piercing, and then he saw the person appear in front of him. The person was so fast that he couldn't even see when the person caught up!

The skinny man's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, as he exclaimed in disbelief, "You... how could you be so fast?"

"Heh, it's not that I'm too fast, it's that you're too slow to escape. Where do you think you're going? I'll be a good person to the end and send you to meet your companions right now," Gu Changqing sneered and blurted out.

He then swung his hand, about to slap the skinny man.

"Senior, wait a moment, I have something to say."

In the blink of an eye, the skinny man fell to his knees with a thud and begged for mercy.

Gu Changqing quickly and deftly stopped his large hand; he was just a hair's breadth away from slapping him.

The skinny man, still shaken, let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "My God, that scared me to death."

"Say what you have to say quickly, I'm waiting to go back," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

"As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to tell you everything I know," the skinny man said sincerely.

"If you want to trade information for your life, we'll see how valuable your information is. Tell me what you know first, and then I'll decide whether to spare your life," Gu Changqing said with a light smile.

"This..." The skinny man looked troubled and embarrassed.

He thought to himself: What if I tell him everything I know, and he kills me with a single blow? Wouldn't that be losing both my wife and my army?

"What do you mean 'what'? Are you going to talk or not? I'll count to three. If you still don't talk by then, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. One, two... S." Gu Changqing sneered and said without any mercy.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, but after I tell you, please have mercy on me and spare my life, senior," the skinny man quickly interrupted, pleading.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly," Gu Changqing said coldly.

"Actually, Fatty and I only infiltrated the Qingyun Sect for a few days and didn't get any important secrets. Moreover, we didn't send any messages over because we only found out some trivial matters. We were afraid of being punished by our superiors, so we didn't pass them on," the skinny man said cautiously and fearfully.

"Heh, that's it? What's the difference between you saying nothing and saying nothing at all? You're just stalling for time and wasting my time. Since that's the case, I don't think you need to say anything more. Alright, you can go die now. I'll send you to meet your companions, and you can keep each other company." Gu Changqing said, quite speechless.

He was too lazy to waste any more words with this person. Without saying a word, he had a thought and with a wave of his hand, he slapped him across the face.

Suddenly, a terrifying shockwave erupted. This slap caused the sky to collapse and the sun and moon to lose their light. It was a light but quick strike.

"No, no..." the skinny man cried out in bewilderment and terror.

"Bang!"

With a deafening explosion, before he could even let out a scream, the world went dark as he was pulverized into a bloody mist, which drifted in the wind and fell down in clumps.

"Serves you right. Serves you right for being so long-winded and wasting my time." Gu Changqing sneered and muttered to himself.

After defeating the two men, Gu Changqing saw two storage rings floating in a cloud of blood mist, their silver light gleaming and dazzling.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Changqing instantly sent the storage ring flying out of the blood mist and into his pocket.

He immersed his divine sense into the area and immediately discovered countless spirit stones, piles upon piles of spirit stones, shimmering with golden light. A sweep of his divine sense revealed over a hundred billion of them. There were also herbs, pills, weapons, magical artifacts, and so on—everything imaginable, an overwhelming and astonishing sight.

The most dazzling item was a sword. It was entirely silver, gleaming with a silvery light, and its sharp edge made it a fine sword. Most importantly, the sword was very short, only one meter long, but its blade was very thick and heavy. If it were to be used to strike, its power would be enormous.

"Holy crap, awesome, I've struck it rich, hahaha!" Gu Changqing was overjoyed, and his smile gradually widened.

Afterwards, Gu Changqing withdrew his gaze and planned to return to his sect.

The six major demonic sects have been making frequent moves lately, and they are probably about to attack my Qingyun Sect. However, the beautiful sect leader has not yet emerged from seclusion, which makes him somewhat disappointed. Could it be that the beautiful sect leader did not discover the conspiracy of the six major demonic sects before she went into seclusion?

Gu Changqing was completely baffled. He really wanted to know when the beautiful sect leader would emerge from seclusion, and he also wanted to show her his current strength.

With that thought in mind, Gu Changqing made a move and headed towards the sect.

In no time at all, Gu Changqing returned to Qingyun Sect and headed towards the sect's main hall.
