The city lord was enraged by Gu Changqing's words and said in a fit of anger, "I didn't expect there to be people who are not afraid of death."

Then, he said to the woman in purple with displeasure, "Heh, I really didn't expect you to be so capable, bringing so many helpers. The people I sent out to hunt you down have not returned yet. They've probably all perished at your hands. If it were just a young lady like you, it would be impossible." The city lord sneered and boldly guessed.

"Your Lordship is wise; you guessed it all," the woman in purple said deliberately.

The city lord was furious, but instead of being angry, he laughed and said, "Fine, very well. Since you've all come today, it's the perfect opportunity to wipe you all out in one fell swoop. Guards!"

As soon as the city lord finished speaking, a large group of people dressed in blue robes and holding sharp swords appeared in front of everyone.

"You dare to trespass into my City Lord's Mansion? You only have one way out: death. These are all my loyal guards, all at the fifth level of the Great Emperor realm. Today, none of you will escape," the City Lord said arrogantly, confident of victory.

Upon seeing this, Gu Changqing sneered, revealing an extremely disdainful expression, as if to say, "Is that all?"

"I'll fight you to the death!" the woman in purple said angrily.

"Miss Purple, no, you don't need to do it. I, Gu, am enough!" Gu Changqing stopped the woman in purple and said confidently.

"Yes, Miss Purple, my husband is very capable. Don't worry, you'll see soon enough," Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

"Really?" asked the woman in purple, doubtingly.

"Of course, would I lie to you? If we weren't confident, why would we have stormed the city lord's mansion with such fanfare?" Jiang Qingcheng smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Hahaha, young man, you have quite the nerve! I, the city lord, am at the peak of the Immortal King realm, just a hair's breadth away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. You're doomed today!" The city lord laughed heartily, speaking with great pride.

"Who is stronger and who is weaker will soon be clear. I don't want to waste my breath on you here," Gu Changqing said with a light laugh, seemingly unconcerned.

"You brat, I bet you won't learn your lesson until you're dead."

After speaking, the city lord gave a wink, and a man in blue immediately understood and stepped forward.

The man in blue raised a sharp sword and, without saying a word, suddenly flashed towards Gu Changqing, his movements powerful and awe-inspiring.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing remained calm and composed, without saying a word, and slapped him across the face.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang," a shadow was sent flying backward, crashing through the wall of the city lord's mansion and disappearing without a trace. Only a trail of blood mist remained in the void along its path, leaving not a trace behind.

Because the walls were broken, the surrounding area shook violently, and those unaware of the situation thought an earthquake had occurred.

This scene greatly surprised the city lord. He never expected that this person, who looked so young, would actually be so skilled, managing to kill a great emperor with a single slap.

But it was only a slight improvement; he didn't believe this person could defeat him.

"They actually killed my elite guards! Do they think I, the city lord, don't exist? They're asking for death! I'll show you what real power is!" the city lord said furiously.

"Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. I'm quite curious to see just how powerful the city lord is," Gu Changqing said with a sneer.

"Arrogant! You're courting death!" the city lord said angrily.

After he finished speaking, a golden sword appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying pressure erupted and raged out. The vast and terrifying aura was like an eternal light, filled with overwhelming killing intent, roaring and surging.

Under this terrifying fluctuation, the void was about to collapse and cracked open, which was extremely frightening. It was as fast as lightning and rushed fiercely towards Gu Changqing's direction.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing smiled faintly, not taking it to heart at all. He remained calm and stood there motionless, letting the city lord's sword pierce through him without even blinking.

With a "thud," the city lord's sword seemed to have pierced an incredibly hard diamond. His heart skipped a beat, and he was somewhat taken aback. He quickly checked what had happened.

When he looked closely, he could clearly see that when the sword pierced the other person's body, it couldn't even pierce a single hair on the other person's body. However, the sword was directly bent by the other person's hair, sparks flew everywhere, and then the tip of the sword exploded into pieces with a crackling sound, and the ground collapsed!

"Damn, I'm a peak Immortal King, and I didn't even prick a single hair on this person's head. Could it be that this person has cultivated some kind of indestructible body? His physique is so strong and frightening, it's really unbelievable." The city lord secretly wondered.

He was incredibly surprised. He hadn't expected that his all-out attack wouldn't even break a hair on his opponent's head. It was truly humiliating.

Not only the city lord, but also his bodyguards were stunned in place, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

My God, no way! The city lord's all-out attack didn't even budge the other person. Just who is this person?

Holy crap, what happened? What's going on? How is this person unharmed? That shouldn't be the case. The city lord is so powerful, how could he have made a mistake?

My God, how could this be? This person is perfectly fine, there must be some mistake. With the city lord's strength, even if he couldn't kill him, he should be crippled, or at the very least, injured!

--------------------

Right now!

Aside from Gu Changqing, only Jiang Qingcheng was already used to this scene and had long since become accustomed to it. She knew all too well how capable her husband was.

"I thought the city lord was so powerful, but he didn't even manage to scratch a hair on my head. It's truly astonishing and disappointing," Gu Changqing said, stroking his chin with amusement.

The city lord's face flushed red and then turned pale, looking extremely unpleasant.

"City Lord, if you are willing to release the purple-clad girl's sister now, and kneel down and call me Grandpa three times, I might spare your life," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

"You brat, what are you so smug about? This is incredibly insulting! How can I, the city lord, tolerate your arrogance here?" the city lord said angrily.

After speaking, the city lord conjured up an incredibly heavy broadsword in his hand, engraved with ferocious monster patterns. It looked extremely majestic and powerful.

Then he took out a black pill from his waist, about the size of a lollipop, and put it directly into his mouth.

Suddenly, a powerful force surged through the city lord's body, and after a moment it erupted in full force. The world was in turmoil, with sand and stones flying everywhere and strange phenomena appearing. An aura of a quasi-Immortal Emperor level swept over the city.
