At this moment, Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief. My God, I knew my brother-in-law was amazing, but I never expected him to be this amazing. This has once again refreshed my understanding.
At this moment, the richest man was shocked and incredulous, repeatedly muttering to himself, "How is this possible? This is impossible, this is impossible..."
The other bodyguards in red panicked upon seeing this, feeling tense and afraid. They hadn't expected that their strongest member would be crushed by that young man with a single punch. What were they going to do? They fell into deep self-doubt.
They are now in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place. Taking a step forward would likely mean death, while taking a step back would probably be forbidden by their master. Standing still is not an option either; it's truly a difficult situation.
"What are you all standing there for? Go! Do you want to be hacked to death? Don't forget who your master is. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely. But if any of you dare to have any disloyal thoughts or try to run away, your family members' lives will be in danger." The richest man threatened with a sinister and cunning look.
The implication is that if they don't obey, their families will be killed. This is undeniably a ruthless tactic.
Upon hearing this, they were taken aback. They hadn't expected their master to be so ruthless, even scheming against their own families. Now, they had no choice but to take a gamble, hoping for a different outcome.
After figuring it out, they didn't say a word. They all raised their longswords, the sword light flashed, the sword intent was dazzling, and they attacked with lightning speed. The power was so strong that the powerful pressure shocked the whole scene, and they rushed towards Gu Changqing.
At the same time, Gu Changqing sneered, and with a light flick of his wrist, he delivered a slap that flew past like a rocket, arriving in front of the red-clad bodyguards in a second.
"Boom!"
The two sides' attacks quickly collided, and the sky suddenly disintegrated, opening up terrifying rifts like cracks in the universe.
Their longswords were utterly vulnerable to Gu Changqing's slap, being devoured bit by bit until not even a trace remained.
That wasn't the end of it. Gu Changqing's slaps continued to fly forward. The leading guard sensed something was wrong and his heart skipped a beat. He tried to dodge, but it was too late for him to react. He was slapped several times and sent flying several meters away.
With a thud, they all fell heavily to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of thick blood as if it were free.
Fortunately, Gu Changqing only struck them lightly and did not use his full strength, so they were only seriously injured but not killed.
"Anyone else who's not satisfied, come on then. I'll keep you company to the end," Gu Changqing said, stroking his chin with an indifferent expression.
Fear showed on their faces, and they were filled with timidity. Ignoring their pain, they all tried to run away.
"What, you think you can run away just because you can't beat me? Fine, I'll give you that chance and see if you can run faster or if my slap is faster." Gu Changqing sneered and said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards in red were shocked and panicked. Without thinking twice, they turned and ran, each moving so fast that even a rabbit couldn't catch them.
Once they were a hundred meters away, Gu Changqing sneered and struck with lightning speed, delivering a series of slaps one after another, leaving the onlookers breathless.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Changqing's slaps arrived in front of them. With a thunderous roar, the sounds of "bang bang bang bang bang bang" echoed past, accompanied by screams from all around. They were instantly sent flying, turning into pools of blood mist before even hitting the ground, splattering blood all over the ground in a spectacular, bloody, and violent scene.
At this very moment, all of the richest man's bodyguards were wiped out.
The richest man panicked completely upon seeing this, trembling with fear and utterly at a loss for what to do.
He never expected this outcome; all his bodyguards were killed by someone else, leaving not even a trace, not even a complete corpse.
Just then, someone broke the silence, saying, "The atmosphere has reached this point, aren't you going to release Miss Rongrong?"
The one who said this was none other than Jiang Qingcheng.
"Release her, release her, release her! I'll release Miss Rongrong right now, but you can't kill me." The richest man agreed without hesitation, while also stating his own conditions.
"Do you think you still have the right to bargain? Even if you don't release her, we can still rescue Miss Rongrong," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile, quite confidently.
"You're speaking too soon. She's my shield, my talisman. How could I let you find her so easily? What do you think I relied on to become the richest man? Do you think you can become the richest man without any brains or tricks?" The richest man said with a sinister and cunning look.
"I've already hidden Miss Rongrong in a very secluded place. If you want to kill me, you probably won't be able to find Miss Rongrong," the richest man continued arrogantly.
"Heh, you're going to die today," Gu Changqing sneered, speaking in a deep voice.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll make sure you never find Rongrong again..." The richest man looked surprised.
"Sorry, I've never heard of how to write 'fear' before," Gu Changqing said confidently, seemingly not taking the richest man's words to heart at all.
“My brother-in-law is so powerful, how could he be stumped by such a small matter? You underestimate him too much!” Jiang Chen echoed.
He trusted his brother-in-law. Since his brother-in-law said he wasn't afraid, he must be very confident. All he could do was trust him.
"No, no, no, you must be bluffing me. You definitely don't know where I hid her," the richest man said with a disbelieving look.
"Heh, trying to trick you? I'm just bored and have nothing better to do. I can tell you where Rongrong is right now, is that alright?" Gu Changqing sneered and said irritably.
"Of course, I'll believe you if you can tell me where I hid her," the richest man said.
"Miss Rongrong is in a secret room within your room," Gu Changqing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the richest man's face showed disbelief and utter shock. "My God, this person actually knows where Rongrong is hidden. Only he knows this place. He has never told you anything else. How does he know? Does he have clairvoyance?"
What the richest man didn't know was that Gu Changqing not only had eyes that could see a thousand miles, but also ears that could hear the wind. It wasn't surprising that he knew where Rongrong was hiding. Even if Gu Changqing didn't have these abilities, he would have plenty of ways to find out where Rongrong was hiding. If he had known that Gu Changqing was no ordinary person now, but the highest-level cultivator in history, it would have been much easier for him to find out what he wanted.
