"How can you boost others' morale while diminishing your own? It was just a coincidence. If the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace hadn't joined forces with him, could he have killed our Palace Master's son? He's just a fox borrowing the tiger's might. There's no need to be so careful. The two of us are no match for him alone. Even I am full of confidence. If you don't believe me, you wait and see. I'll capture him right now, take him back to Baiyue Palace, and hand him over to the Palace Master for punishment." The golden-armored guard said arrogantly.

The whispers between the two golden-armored guards had already reached Gu Changqing's ears. Gu Changqing simply smiled and didn't offer any further explanation. No matter how much or how well words were spoken, nothing was as direct or effective as actions.

To prove his prowess, the golden-armored guard, without a word, conjured a gleaming golden sword in his hand. It looked incredibly sharp and was clearly no ordinary weapon.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out. The golden-armored guard raised his arm, and a terrifying killing intent erupted in full force, raging forth with an overwhelming and terrifying aura that seemed to have existed since time immemorial, filled with boundless killing intent, roaring and surging.

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.

The golden-armored guard's eyes were sharp as he viciously stabbed towards Gu Changqing.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing smiled slightly, remaining calm and standing still as the golden-armored guards approached him.

"boom!!!"

This immediately triggered a terrifying explosion, and the horrifying shockwaves, like planetary rings, relentlessly impacted everything around it!

When the sword pierced Gu Changqing's chest, something completely unexpected happened to the golden-armored guard.

He clearly felt as if his sword had struck an exceptionally hard diamond. His precious sword was snapped in two by the opponent's body, falling to the ground with a loud "crack." But that wasn't the end of it. He was suddenly thrown several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground. He grimaced in pain, spitting out mouthful after mouthful of blood as if it were free.

My God, his physical body is incredibly sturdy, it's terrifying! How can someone have such a sturdy body? No, he must be wearing some kind of Vajra armor, otherwise he couldn't be this powerful. Even the Palace Master doesn't have such a tough body, how could a mere mortal like him possibly have one?

"I thought you were so great, Gu? Is this all? You're a disgrace to the Upper Realm, utterly trash. Enough with the nonsense, it's my turn to make a move this time." Gu Changqing sneered, speaking with utter disdain.

Gu Changqing has always disdained to even glance at such arrogant and ignorant trash.

At the same time, another golden-armored guard was stunned. My God, I never expected this person's physical body to be so terrifying. Indeed, one cannot underestimate this person from the lower realm.

Without another word, Gu Changqing conjured the Wind and Cloud Sorrow Fan in his hand and headed straight for the arrogant golden-armored guard.

When the golden-armored guard saw that he had taken out a fan, he found it somewhat amusing, thinking that a broken fan could not possibly have much power, and did not pay much attention to it.

But when the fan actually blew over, he was terrified and jolted. His body flew backward uncontrollably, flying a very, very long way. He tried to steady himself, but to no avail, and could only let the evil wind blow him away.

His body came to a stop when he was blocked by a large mountain.

The mountain was instantly smashed into a huge, human-shaped crater. His body was firmly fixed in place; he was powerless, unable to move, and bleeding profusely, unable to stop.

He was filled with regret. He never expected that this young man from the lower realm would be so powerful. He had underestimated him and ended up like this. He had only himself to blame! In no time, he died from excessive blood loss.

When Gu Changqing could no longer sense the aura of the golden-armored guard, he smiled wickedly and cursed inwardly, "This is the consequence of speaking without restraint."

The other golden-armored guard could no longer sense his companion's presence. He was shocked and thought to himself, "This is terrible! What if this person from the lower realm also wants to kill me? I'm no match for him!"

Thinking of this, he had a plan. As the saying goes, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. If he didn't leave now, when would he? So without saying a word, he prepared to make his escape, ignoring the task assigned by the palace master. At this moment, any task was superfluous; nothing was more important than his life!

The golden-armored guard felt a chill run through his body and couldn't help but shiver. Without saying a word, he turned and left. He hadn't gone far when he heard a voice.

"Want to leave? Do you think you can get away? You think you can escape right under my nose? No way!"

Gu Changqing snorted coldly, took a step forward, and appeared directly in front of the golden-armored guard, blocking his path.

"You... how could you be so fast, catching up to me in one step?" The golden-armored guard felt his scalp tingle, his face filled with disbelief and fear.

"Is there even a question? It's because you're too weak. Otherwise, how could I, Gu, have caught up?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, his tone mocking.

"Senior, although I was ordered by our White Moon Palace Master to take you back, I did not speak rudely, and we have no conflict. Why don't you show mercy and let it go this time!" The golden-armored guard cupped his hands and pleaded sincerely.

"Although you didn't do anything to me, since I have a grudge against your Baiyun Palace, how could I possibly let you go so generously? Don't dream about it. Fine, prepare to die!" Gu Changqing snorted coldly, his face grim.

After saying that, Gu Changqing stopped talking and the Qingxin Sword appeared in his hand as he walked towards the other party.

Suddenly, a sword beam seemed capable of cleaving the sky and splitting the universe, directly dividing the surrounding clouds in two. They shattered like worthless rags, inch by inch, a truly terrifying sight.

"Hiss!" The man in golden armor was instantly terrified, his eyelids twitching violently. He instinctively tried to run away, but it was all in vain. He felt a danger from the depths of his soul rapidly approaching. This danger was the most frightening one he had ever encountered. He had never even encountered it in the Upper Realm. My God, he wondered who this powerful being was.

"Snap!!!"

The sword beam slashed directly at the golden-armored guard, sweeping past him like autumn leaves in the wind, utterly merciless.

In that instant, the golden-armored guard felt a chill run down his spine, his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly waved his hand, trying to defend himself, but it was like throwing an egg against a rock, a futile and overestimating effort.
