"This is nothing, not worth mentioning," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, completely unconcerned.
"Who was it that just said they wanted my beloved wife to be their concubine? Come out here and face your death!" Gu Changqing sneered and shouted.
The fat man trembled, his mouth quivering, and said unwillingly, "You three hurry up and kill this man. Afterwards, I... I will reward you handsomely."
Fearing that Gu Changqing would kill him, the fat man quickly offered his bodyguards a large sum of money, promising to kill the man at all costs, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable and he would be the one to die. He hadn't lived enough yet; there were still so many mountains of gold and silver, and delicacies waiting for him to enjoy.
Upon hearing about the hefty reward, the remaining three men in black perked up and became incredibly bold, all eager to capture the man and claim the prize.
"The reward is rightfully mine, I'll go first." A black-clad man at the fifth level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor volunteered, speaking with great confidence.
He firmly believed that he had the ability to defeat this person, who was far more powerful than his black-clad companion from before, and he was confident that he would not repeat the same mistake.
"Another one rushing to their death, eager to be reborn, how laughable. Well then, come on, all of you, I, Gu, warmly welcome you." Gu Changqing stroked his chin, saying with a playful expression.
"Don't be so arrogant. You only got the advantage of the sword you had just used. If you're so capable, throw the sword aside and fight me again. I'll definitely defeat you," the man in black said defiantly.
Actually, he said that on purpose, trying to provoke Gu Changqing into putting down the precious sword, which would increase his chances of winning.
"Hehe, you've got a good plan. But it's alright, I can win even without any weapons. Consider it me being merciful and letting you win."
Gu Changqing sneered and said with absolute confidence, then sheathed the precious sword in his hand and went bare-handed.
Gu Changqing knew exactly what the man in black was thinking. He was only trying to provoke him because he was worried about the man's precious sword. However, Gu Changqing didn't care at all. Even without the sword, he was still invincible.
"Stop talking big, I'll beat you to your knees and beg for mercy right now." The man in black didn't believe it at all, thinking that Gu Changqing was just bragging.
He then conjured a dark, round ball, about the size of a basketball, in his hand. But as he manipulated it, it grew larger and larger, like a snowball rolling downhill, which looked quite sinister.
He used all his strength, and instantly the aura of a fifth-level Quasi-Immortal Emperor erupted. The void shattered, mountains and rivers trembled, and seawater surged back. He was as fast as lightning and quickly threw the black ball at Gu Changqing.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing remained calm and composed, without using any techniques, and immediately slapped the other person.
This palm strike may seem simple, but it contains terrifying energy. Under this violent push, the entire void crumbles and shatters!
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided violently, and the black sphere of the man in black collapsed with a "bang," instantly blasting into fragments that filled the entire sky, making the air seem unusually turbulent.
Gu Changqing's slap didn't stop there. He continued forward and slapped the man in black directly on the chest, instantly removing a large chunk of his chest, making him look terrifying.
A pool of blood immediately appeared on the ground, and blood flowed all over the place.
The man who had just been so confident and boastful was now a cold, lifeless corpse.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent!
Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open, their mouths agape, and they forgot to say a word. They were so frightened that they were frozen in place like fossils.
The entire place was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop. It was as if everything had been put on pause.
No one expected that Gu Changqing would kill the man in black with just one slap!
As for the other accomplices of the man in black, they were even more astonished, speechless, and extremely shocked. They were terrified and felt utterly hopeless.
They thought this person was so terrifying because of the power of that precious sword, but it seems they underestimated him. He didn't use any weapon at all, yet he was still so powerful. It's truly unbelievable.
A full quarter of an hour later, everyone finally reacted, their faces showing shock and a chill running down their spines!
"Holy crap, who is this person? He wiped out a quasi-Immortal Emperor with just a wave of his hand. That's terrifying."
"My goodness, I've never encountered such a formidable character before. This is truly an eye-opening experience."
"Holy crap, that's awesome! Luckily I didn't offend this big shot, or I would have died a terrible death."
…………
At this moment, Gu Changqing looked relaxed and composed, standing unharmed in the same spot, as if he were an outsider, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.
As expected of a master, he remains calm and collected in any situation.
The fat man was terrified once again, his eyes filled with fear and unease, every cell in his body radiating terror.
The remaining two bodyguards in black also lost their confidence and were filled with anxiety. They had the idea of running away. If they didn't run away, they would probably lose their lives here. The two understood each other and without saying a word, they grabbed the fat man and were about to leave. They didn't dare to stay for a moment longer.
In fact, when Gu Changqing killed their companion with a single punch, they were instantly terrified and completely disoriented, but they didn't have time to escape.
I was so scared I almost lost my mind, and the thought of killing the other person vanished in an instant.
"What, you're not going to fight anymore? Why don't you just tell me and leave? You're really not taking me seriously!" Gu Changqing shouted as soon as he saw that Gu was about to leave.
"Hiss!" Upon hearing this loud shout, the hearts of the group clenched violently, and they were almost paralyzed with fear. They quickly took a deep breath to calm themselves down.
They dared not answer, so they pretended not to hear and sped away.
But they were no match for Gu Changqing. With his current cultivation level, Gu Changqing appeared in front of them in a single step, blocking their path.
"What does Senior want to do? Let us go quickly, otherwise, even if the two of us join forces, we will at least be injured. Senior will not gain anything. Why not let us leave?" A black-clad man at the sixth level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice.
“That’s right, senior. Why not let this matter drop? My young master hasn’t done anything wrong to your wife. Why hold a grudge and keep bringing it up? It’s too ungentlemanly,” another man in black continued to defend him.
