At the same time, they were also shocked, as they were all taken aback by Gu Changqing's remarks and almost dropped their jaws in disbelief.
What does Young Master Gu mean? He's not even afraid of the Immortal Emperor. Is it true or false? Could it be that he has some peerless treasure that makes even the Immortal Emperor wary?
My God, did I hear that right? He doesn't even respect the Celestial Emperor? How could someone with no cultivation dare to say such a thing? Is he lying? How is that possible?
Why is Young Master Gu so confident and so certain? He doesn't seem to be lying at all!
"Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? The Immortal Emperor is such a powerful figure, yet you've reduced him to nothing in your mouth. You're so young and already so arrogant. It's time to find someone to teach you a lesson." The old man in black said dismissively. He absolutely did not believe Gu Changqing's previous antics; they were just a bluff.
"Believe it or not, what does it have to do with me? If you have any skills, then bring it on. Let's see if you can teach me a lesson, or if I can give you a bloody lesson." Gu Changqing was too lazy to explain any further and said indifferently.
The old man in black was speechless. Too lazy to argue with the young man any longer, he conjured a divine sword in his hand without saying a word.
This is a black sword, as black as his clothes. It is impossible to tell what material it is made of. In particular, the hilt is covered with dazzling runes, each one like an ancient script, profound and mysterious, completely incomprehensible. Although the script is incomprehensible, just a wisp of aura emanating from it makes one feel that it is extremely sharp and has a powerful aura.
The moment the sword appeared, everyone present widened their eyes in shock and disbelief as they stared at it. Just by lightly sensing the aura emanating from the sword, they felt as if they were being suffocated by its oppressive force. The sharp, blazing blade gleamed with a cold light, seemingly slicing through their very souls, causing them to tremble with fear and their legs to shake uncontrollably.
The old man in black smiled sinisterly and swung his sword at Gu Changqing with lightning speed. Instantly, a sword light poured down like fireworks.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing smiled faintly, completely calm, as if he hadn't seen the sword coming towards him.
The onlookers broke out in a cold sweat. Had Young Master Gu gone mad with fear? Why didn't he know how to resist? They were worried for him. They had known that Gu Changqing was their only hope.
The woman in white was also terrified, her heart pounding in her chest. She was more worried about Gu Changqing's safety than anyone else; he was the lover she had fallen for at first sight.
The next moment, something happened that left everyone dumbfounded.
With a loud "bang," the black-clad old man's divine sword was instantly blasted into pieces, resembling black powder. The old man was sent flying several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground, barely alive, blood gushing from his mouth, a truly spectacular sight.
The old man in black wore an incredulous expression, as if he had seen something astonishing.
This was his full-force sword strike. He had hoped to crush this boastful young man under his feet, but he never expected that he himself would be the clown.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at Gu Changqing, only to see him standing there calmly and motionless, unharmed in the slightest.
My goodness, just how powerful is Young Master Gu? He's not even afraid of a Celestial King, and can easily crush him. This is terrifying, unbelievable.
Holy crap, awesome! I never expected Young Master Gu to be so amazing. I thought he was just bragging. This is such a pleasant surprise. I've really met a benefactor today.
Holy crap, Young Master Gu is really amazing. I wonder what kind of terrifying existence he is, to beat a Celestial King so easily, making him grind wildly against the wall.
"So, do you still think I'm exaggerating?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, unconvinced.
The old man remained silent, which was probably an admission of his words.
Gu Changqing smiled slightly, then casually said, "You hit me just now, and I didn't fight back. Now it's my turn to hit you back."
"Senior, spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I looked down on you and offended you unintentionally. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again." When the old man in black heard that Gu Changqing was going to fight back, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't care about saving face anymore and immediately began to beg for mercy.
He didn't want to get up; he hadn't lived enough yet.
"No offense intended? I must have misheard you. You just tried to kill me. I'm the kind of person who always seeks revenge. I'm not some kind of magnanimous bodhisattva. I won't fall for your tricks." Gu Changqing sneered repeatedly and said in a deep voice.
"That's right, we absolutely cannot let him go. He just threatened to kill us all, otherwise, given Young Master Gu's words, we probably wouldn't be alive today," the elder immediately said.
The others nodded in agreement with the elder's words. If it weren't for Young Master Gu protecting them, they wouldn't have had a chance to speak now.
Immediately afterward, Gu Changqing stopped wasting words and, without saying another word, swung his hand and threw a punch.
Instantly, the airflow exploded, and a terrifying shockwave, like a tornado, gathered between his fingers. The dreadful wind and waves were chilling, and they slammed fiercely towards the old man in black.
The old man in black realized something was wrong and tried to dodge, but he was too weak and could only watch helplessly as the punch came toward him.
In the blink of an eye, the fist arrived in front of him. A scream of agony echoed through the sky, and in an instant, the old man in black turned into a pool of blood mist.
As the old man in black disappeared, the black smoke also vanished, and the cave became much brighter, with the spiritual energy in the spirit pool becoming even more concentrated than before.
He just forgot to press the old man in black for any connection with the demonic path.
"Seeing such a powerful old man being dealt with so easily by Young Master Gu is truly an eye-opener. To be honest, I've never seen such a terrifying scene in my life. Young Master Gu has really surprised us; he's truly our benefactor," the elder said with emotion.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Gu. If it weren't for you, we would have died countless times today," the woman in white said with a slight smile, full of gratitude.
"It's nothing. You're all under my control now, so isn't it only natural for you all to do this?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
The woman in white immediately lowered her head, her face flushed, and smiled shyly.
