"oh?"

The lewd-looking middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then realized who was speaking. Instead of being angry, he laughed, his gaze reluctantly leaving Ning Xuerou. He stared coldly at Gu Changqing and said in a deep voice, "Boy, there's a limit to how much you can save a beauty. You don't have a trace of aura on you, so you must be some low-class trash. We are dignified emperors. Are you tired of living and looking for death?"

"Hehe, why waste words with him, fellow Daoist? Actually, I let him go just now because I couldn't resist the urge to execute Fairy Xue Rou on the spot. I wouldn't let him off afterward either. I didn't expect him to jump out now. It's really funny. Don't waste words with him, just kill him." Hyena Wanderer said with a smile at this moment.

In his view, it was just an ant, which he could crush with one step.

Ning Xuerou was in a state of utter confusion. She wanted to persuade Gu Changqing to run away quickly, but as soon as she uttered "Young Master Gu, you..." she saw that Gu Changqing had appeared in front of her at some point and placed his right hand on her shoulder.

"You stand behind me."

Gu Changqing said calmly.

Ning Xuerou's beautiful eyes widened, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart.

For some reason, just now, she sensed a calm and collected demeanor from the other person. Could it be that he... was also an Emperor-level being?

Considering how much skill he had imparted to me, could that really be the case?

"Okay, senior, please be careful..." Her pretty face flushed red, and she actually called Gu Changqing "senior" instead, then stood behind him.

Gu Changqing waved his hand, then glanced at the lewd middle-aged man, ignoring him, and looked at Hyena Sanren with a playful expression: "You're quite arrogant."

"Hehe, I'm just arrogant, what can you do to me? If you're so capable, hit me, hahaha!" Hyena Wanderer laughed loudly.

As he spoke, he suddenly moved his right foot, took a step forward, then retreated, then walked forward again, then retreated again, repeating this two or three times. After that, the Hyena Wanderer shook his head and grinned lewdly at Gu Changqing, saying, "I come over, then I retreat, I come over again, then I retreat again. If you're so capable, hit me! Hahaha, do you even have that ability?!"

Gu Changqing glanced at him indifferently, then stroked his chin and smiled nonchalantly, "If you can withstand one of my moves, you win."

"Oh? Is that so? Kid, you think I'm arrogant? I think you're the truly arrogant one. You actually dared to think you could defeat me in one move. How laughable! There's no one more laughable than you in the world. Fine, I'll stand here and let you hit me. If you can break even a single hair on my head, I hereby declare my withdrawal from the Eastern Continent and will never return." The Hyena Hermit sneered indifferently.

"You probably won't have a chance to leave Dongzhou. Today you'll leave the Nine Heavens Realm directly," Gu Changqing said with an equally indifferent sneer.

Without further ado, he simply extended one finger.

In an instant, the Great Luo Sword Body was born, and an incomparably terrifying, incomparably sharp aura, capable of tearing apart three thousand worlds, suddenly erupted, soaring into the sky and sweeping across the heavens!

"boom!!!"

The vast sky collapsed, tearing apart layer by layer. Clouds rolled across the horizon, and rays of light burst forth. A terrifying aura swept across everything, suppressing the entire universe!

In an instant, everyone in the room was taken aback and looked at each other in disbelief.

"What? Innate Sword Body!"

"This sharp aura... no doubt about it, it's definitely the Innate Sword Body. How could this kid possibly possess the Innate Sword Body!"

"No wonder he's so arrogant, he has something to rely on!"

Hyena Hermit's expression changed, but he didn't care much the next moment. He sneered indifferently, "So what if you have an innate sword body? Throughout history, only the Great Luo Sword Body is the best sword body. The innate sword body is strong, but compared to the Great Luo Sword Body, hahaha, it's too inferior!" As he spoke, he slapped his thigh, completely unconcerned.

He didn't know that he couldn't even recognize Gu Changqing's Great Luo Sword Body.

Gu Changqing also realized that even though these people were Great Emperors, they couldn't recognize his physique. It was truly amazing. But thinking about it, it made sense. They were just Great Emperors. Had they ever seen the Great Luo Sword Body before?

"If you can withstand one of my fingers, you win."

Gu Changqing was too lazy to waste words, so he used his finger as a sword and slashed out.

In an instant, a flash of cold light appeared, like a celestial being descending from the heavens. The sky was instantly cleaved open, creating a crack hundreds of millions of feet long, revealing the dark wormhole behind it. Chaotic turbulence raged, terrifying beyond compare.

"My God!" Ning Xuerou was utterly shocked, her eyes fixed on the finger, her face pale with astonishment!

That's incredible! Absolutely incredible!

"Is this all the strength you have? Heh, nothing special." Hyena Wanderer sneered indifferently.

But just as the finger struck three centimeters in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something extremely terrifying. He was immediately shocked and exclaimed in disbelief, "No, how is this possible!"

He hurriedly flicked his sleeve, and the pagoda blocking his path trembled and appeared in front of him with a whoosh, attempting to block the finger strike.

At the same time, he took a deep breath and slammed his palm onto the pagoda. Instantly, the surging spiritual power in his body poured into the pagoda, and the pagoda immediately lit up with runes, flashing with brilliant light. Its defensive power visibly increased, and it did its best to resist the finger strike!

However, when that finger strike landed, the pagoda was split in two as easily as if it were tofu, sparks flying everywhere!

"Holy crap...!" Hyena Hermit was shocked, but before he could finish speaking, the finger force passed through the pagoda, pierced through layers of void, and slammed into him!

"Snap!"

With a loud bang, Hyena Sanren was split in two, cut in half by a single finger!

As he lay dying, his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief!

With his strength as a sixth-level Hyena Wanderer Emperor, he had dominated the Western Continent for countless years with few rivals. Even when besieged by various holy lands, he escaped with ease. He never expected to be defeated here today!

In the blink of an eye, his two halves of body fell down, crashing heavily onto the ground and onto a mountain, shattering into pieces.

A group of emperors were all stunned.

Ning Xuerou, on the other hand, gaped wide-eyed, completely dumbfounded!

My God, is this real?

Annihilate an emperor with a flick of the finger?

How terrifying!

"Gulp—!" The lewd middle-aged man and the many emperors behind him swallowed hard, their faces turning pale and their bodies trembling!

What's going on? This is such a powerful expert, using his innate sword body to kill a sixth-level Great Emperor! How is this possible?!

A few breaths later.

"Understood. This person is probably at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, far surpassing us. It seems that today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully. I think you and I should both be very clear about the consequences of provoking a peak Great Emperor. Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Lu, do not hold back, and do your best to capture this person!"

"Otherwise, none of us will leave here today!"

"agree!"

"Can!"

After exchanging words in an instant, the dozen or so Great Emperors roared and took out their respective Dao weapons, launching a combined attack on Gu Changqing!
