"Oh, really? Thank you for the reminder, but you should all worry about yourselves more," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
Just then, the leader of the men in black returned and, in front of Gu Changqing, swallowed a handful of small, dark pills, instantly causing his cultivation level to surge.
"Boom!"
He suddenly rose to the level of a Quasi-Emperor, his cultivation advancing at an astonishing speed, like a rocket taking off!
With a thunderous roar, the void outside was filled with falling flowers, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, dragons and phoenixes danced, and auspicious unicorns appeared!
Auspicious clouds stretch across the vast sky, and rays of light illuminate the land in all directions.
A series of extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth surged forth, emerging in an endless stream!
The leader of the men in black was overjoyed and became so happy that he forgot himself. He actually completed several jumps in a short period of time. This was unbelievable. He was incredibly lucky!
When he was blasted away by the young man, he unexpectedly picked up a medicine bottle with the words "Medicine for Enhancing Cultivation" written on it. So he quickly picked it up and, with a try-it-and-see attitude, swallowed all the pills in one go, hoping they would have some effect.
He hadn't held out much hope, since the origin of this thing was unknown and he didn't know if it would actually work. He figured he might as well give it a shot; even if it didn't work, there wouldn't be any side effects. Why not give it a try? If he didn't try, he probably wouldn't be able to beat others. Trying it would give him a glimmer of hope.
But to his surprise, it actually worked, which delighted him.
This scene left the two henchmen in black speechless and utterly shocked.
My God! What kind of treasure did Boss eat? His cultivation level has skyrocketed! It's unbelievable!
My God, what's going on? This is unprecedented, it's terrifying! But this is actually a good thing, this time we'll definitely beat that brat to a pulp and kill him.
Compared to the shock of the others, Gu Changqing remained calm and unsurprised. He had seen this scene countless times and was no longer surprised. He simply marveled at the black-clad man's incredible luck. Even after being knocked away, he still managed to stumble upon such good fortune. However, he also had to thank Gu Changqing for this, otherwise, how would the black-clad man have had the chance to pick up that bottle of medicine?
Even though the man in black had leveled up several times, he was still no match for Gu Changqing. He would die soon. It would be a waste for him to pick up such a good thing. Gu Changqing thought to himself.
"You brat, you're dead this time. Our boss's cultivation has increased dramatically. You're no match for him. You'd better surrender obediently," the black-clad henchman boasted smugly.
"Hehe, I've grown up and I still don't know how to write the word 'surrender'," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile and a calm demeanor.
"Don't be stubborn, kid. You'll be begging our boss for mercy later," another henchman said confidently.
"Alright, I couldn't be happier. I'm just afraid you won't have the luck to see me beg for mercy," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"He's sharp-tongued, boss. Let's take him down. He's too arrogant and domineering; it's unbearable to look at him," the black-clad henchman urged.
"Alright, I was just thinking of testing how powerful this quasi-Emperor level expert is. I'll use him to practice my skills." The leader in black was getting a little cocky and said without any attempt to hide it.
They seemed to be of one mind, all believing that Gu Changqing would lose and they would win.
After speaking, a jet-black sword appeared in the black-clad leader's hand. A cold light flashed, and the space exploded instantly. In a flash, the layers of tiles and stones on the passage crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of white smoke.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing sneered repeatedly, remaining calm and unhurried in place.
When the sword flashed, the black-clad leader was shocked to find that Gu Changqing was completely unharmed, standing there perfectly fine, without a scratch on his body, not even a hair on his head.
"Holy crap, how is this possible? I'm a quasi-emperor now, how come I haven't even cut off a single hair on their head? This is too exaggerated. I must be dreaming. Only dreams can produce such a thing." The leading man in black thought to himself.
The other two men were also stunned, staring blankly at the scene unfolding before them.
My God! Even the Boss, a Quasi-Emperor, is no match for that kid! This is unbelievable! Just how powerful is that kid? He must be far more powerful than the Boss! No wonder he's so calm and collected; he's a hidden master!
My God, this is terrifying! This person's cultivation is so profound. If he wanted to kill us, it would be as easy as turning his hand over his hand. What should we do? We just offended him with our rude words. He will definitely hold a grudge and kill us. He regrets it immensely now. He should not have said those words.
The three of them felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, their spirits plummeted, and a hint of despair flashed across their faces.

"I've already let you have your way twice, isn't that enough? To be fair, it's my turn to make the move this time," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, the three men were greatly encouraged. Without saying a word, they immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Senior, wait! I know you are kind-hearted. Please have mercy and let me go. I promise I will never hunt down that mother and child again. Is that alright?"
"Yes, yes, me too. As long as you spare my life, I'll do anything you ask."
"Me too, me too. I'm willing to give up hunting down that mother and child, and I will never do such a thing again."
Gu Changqing smiled faintly, shook his head, and said calmly, "I gave you a chance long ago, but you didn't care and wasted it. I've said before that there's only one chance, and it won't come again. Now you know to beg for mercy, but it's too late."
"Senior, it's not too late. It's never too late if you're willing. It's just a matter of your word, senior!" the black-clad henchman continued to plead.
They had no choice but to beg for mercy; they couldn't win a fight, so they could only passively beg for help.
"It's none of your business how I do things. I've said before that there's only one chance, and you didn't want it, so don't blame me. Why are you doing this again? It's really annoying." Gu Changqing smiled coldly and said in a low voice with a sullen face.
