The middle-aged man in blue was not angry at all. Instead, he shamelessly pushed his luck and shouted, "I'm the one who provoked you. What, you're not happy about it? I've changed my mind. I not only want your Qilin, but also the beauty next to it. As for you, you can get as far away as possible, or I'll take your life."
"Husband, how dare this man insult us! He's outrageous! I must teach him a lesson!" Jiang Qingcheng said angrily.
"Qingcheng, you don't need to do anything. I'll teach him a lesson myself," Gu Changqing comforted her softly.
Gu Changqing frowned and solemnly warned the man in blue, "The Qilin is my mount, and the beauty is my beloved wife. You'd better give up on that idea now, or I will definitely tear you to pieces and leave you with no trace of your body."
"Hahaha, I'm so scared. Heh, you're just a mere body cultivator, while I'm a peak Immortal King. You dare to overestimate yourself and try to compete with me? It's like throwing an egg against a rock, only to humiliate yourself. I'll send you on your way right now."
As he spoke, the man in blue muttered incantations and instantly summoned a mount in front of him.
The man in blue said with great pride, "This mount is my Cloud-Stepping Rhinoceros. It's incredibly powerful and has amazing defensive capabilities. Its own weight is a terrifying 30 million jin, and its cultivation level is at the fourth level of Immortal King. Watch it sit on you and kill you."
His mount was an ancient rhinoceros named the Cloud-Treading Rhinoceros. It was extremely fierce in appearance, robust in build, and resembled a water buffalo. It was jet black, like a piece of charcoal.
Upon receiving instructions from the man in blue, the Cloud-Stepping Rhinoceros instantly soared into the sky. The sky suddenly changed color, a strong wind arose, and its body grew several times larger. Then, it descended from the sky, landing on its rear end, heading directly towards Gu Changqing, intending to sit on him and kill him.
"Qingcheng, you and the Red Qilin should stay away from me, lest you get your dress dirty later," Gu Changqing said calmly.
Jiang Qingcheng nodded after hearing this and quickly ran away into the distance.
Then, Gu Changqing glanced at the rhinoceros, sneered, and said disdainfully, "Bring on whatever tricks you have, I'll take them all."
Unlike Gu Changqing, the group of cultivators trembled with fear and panicked upon seeing the Cloud-Stepping Rhinoceros.
"Holy crap, it's an ancient one-horned rhinoceros! I've seen this kind of rhinoceros in ancient books before. It's incredibly powerful and strong. It could kill a Celestial King with a single sit on it!"
"My God, I never expected this guy to have such a powerful mount. No wonder he's so fearless!"
"Damn it, stop looking and run! Your life is more important!"
As these cultivators spoke, they took off running, covering 30,000 miles in the blink of an eye. They still looked back with lingering fear, not forgetting to check on Gu Changqing's situation.
Gu Changqing sneered at the rhinoceros, showing no fear whatsoever. He didn't even glance at it, letting the Cloud-Stepping Rhinoceros sit down.
In the blink of an eye, the Cloud-Stepping Rhinoceros sat down on Gu Changqing like a rocket.
With a loud "bang," a sound like an earthquake was heard.
Instantly, the rhinoceros was torn in two as if its flesh had been pierced by an iron rod. Its internal organs flew backward, and the scene was as if a person had fallen from the sky and happened to be pierced through by an iron rod standing on the ground, splitting it in two. The scene was extremely horrifying.
The middle-aged man in blue froze, stunned, staring blankly with an expression of disbelief.
The group of cultivators in the distance were also shocked. They stood there, motionless, their eyes wide open like marbles, their jaws almost dislocated, and it took them a long time to react.
"Holy crap, what kind of physical strength is this? How can it be so terrifying?"
"Damn, that's awesome! I've learned something new. We are completely impressed!"
"Holy crap, this body cultivator is so powerful! We underestimated him!"
After realizing what was happening, the man in blue knew he was in trouble and immediately tried to leave without saying a word.
I never expected this guy to be so amazing despite his unassuming appearance. Damn, I misjudged him. Time to run!
Gu Changqing, with sharp eyes and quick reflexes, stopped him and said with a slight smile, "Your mount is truly amazing, it has really broadened my horizons. But I am truly sorry that I accidentally killed it. To express my apology, I have decided to return the favor. How about you come and take a hit from my mount's backside?"
"Husband, this is a great idea! It's only proper to give and take," Jiang Qingcheng said excitedly as she walked over.
The red Qilin beside it nodded repeatedly, expressing its inner thoughts.
Only the man in blue was shocked upon hearing this, his heart pounding with anxiety and utter panic.
How could he dare to accept? This person's physical strength alone was so formidable, yet the mount he rode on was completely unharmed. It was clear that this was no ordinary Qilin!
Thinking of this, the man in blue didn't dare to utter a sound. Without saying a word, he turned around and tried to leave.
"Trying to leave? Where did your arrogance go? Now you're acting like a coward, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It's disgusting." Jiang Qingcheng quickly stopped him when she saw him trying to leave, looking down on this kind of person and unable to help but speak sarcastically.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have broken my promise and gone back on my word. I'm willing to make amends. I have many treasures in my family, and I'm willing to give them all to you, senior. Please, senior, spare me!" The man in blue sensed that the other party was actually a Great Emperor level figure. He knelt down in front of Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng with a thud, begging for mercy in a humble manner.
"Heh, now you think of redeeming yourself? Too late. It was originally agreed that half of this Heavenly Pill belonged to me, but you had to have bad intentions and keep it all for yourself. Now that things are not going well, you want to run away. You want to have all the good things in the world. You really know how to do business. You've got a really good plan!" Gu Changqing snorted coldly and said indifferently.
A group of monks nodded in agreement.
"If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You brought this on yourself."
"That's right, blame yourself for being so unfair!"
There's no going back in life. If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences. Don't be such a coward!
...
Gu Changqing glanced at the middle-aged man in blue and said indifferently, "You can leave, but you must take a ride on my mount. If you can do that, I will not pursue the matter further."
"This..." the middle-aged man in blue said hesitantly, seemingly unwilling.
"What do you mean 'this'? You don't have a choice." Jiang Qingcheng frowned and said with great displeasure.
"Husband, don't waste your time talking to this kind of person," Jiang Qingcheng urged, feeling disgusted just looking at the man.
Gu Changqing nodded slightly and said no more.
"Red Qilin, go and show them your might."
