At this moment, Jiang Chen never expected that his power as an Immortal Emperor would be so terrifying. He hadn't done anything, yet he was able to shatter the black-clad leader's broadsword and send him flying far away, even injuring him. This was something Jiang Chen hadn't anticipated. He was extremely excited and overjoyed.
The other men in black weren't fools either. Seeing that their leader was no match for him, they immediately backed down. They knew that their leader was the strongest among them, and if even he was no match for him, then they, the small fry, were no match for him. They immediately realized that their cultivation was definitely inferior to his.
Nonsense. Their elder brother was so strong in their hearts, a powerful expert at the peak of the Great Emperor level, yet he was defeated so miserably in one move. Without a doubt, the opponent's cultivation level must be far superior to their elder brother's, and he is a powerful existence that these men in black cannot afford to offend.
In an instant, they all panicked, their faces turned ashen, their bodies went cold, and they trembled violently, their mouths shaking as if they were tied in knots.
Without saying a word, they immediately knelt down one after another, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Please have mercy, boss. We were just momentarily blinded by greed and had such inappropriate thoughts. Fortunately, we did nothing wrong and did not commit any unforgivable mistakes."
"Is that all you've got? I didn't do anything. Why are you all so scared?" Jiang Chen said helplessly and innocently.
"Impossible! You didn't do anything, how could you beat our boss like that? You must have used some kind of magic weapon in secret, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this!" The group of men in black refused to believe Jiang Chen's words.
"Believe it or not!" Jiang Chen was too lazy to explain and left with those words.
"Whether what you say is true or false, our demand is very simple: please let us go!" The men in black persisted and continued to beg for mercy.
"Whether you can escape or not depends not on me, but on yourselves. How about this, let's play a game, a race to see who can run the fastest. If you run the fastest, you'll have a chance to survive; otherwise, the opposite will happen. I don't think I need to say anything more, right?" Jiang Chen suddenly thought of this cat-and-mouse game and made the serious suggestion.
Jiang Qingcheng and Gu Changqing stood aside, watching the show, quietly observing how Jiang Chen would deal with the men in black, and also keeping an eye on the leader of the men in black to make sure he didn't escape.
The leader of the men in black was completely dumbfounded. They had agreed to fight them together, but they had turned against them so quickly. What a bunch of cowards!
He sneered and angrily cursed, "What use are you spineless cowards? You might as well just die already."
"Brother, please don't blame us. We're just one of many. None of us want to die. Can't you understand?" the man in black said helplessly.
“Brother, we’re sorry, we weren’t very loyal, but as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. But the most important thing is to live, of course. Living is better than anything else!” Another man in black said with a look of shame.
What bad intentions could they possibly have? All they do is try to survive.
"Shut up, you defeated opponent. What's there to say? If you were willing to beg me for mercy like they did, I might take pity on you and spare your life," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile and a calm expression.
"You'd be so kind as to let me go?" The leader of the men in black looked bewildered and asked, half-believing.
"Of course, anything is possible!" Jiang Chen said excitedly.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the leader of the men in black felt that the other party must be lying to him. How could he be so easy to talk to? He thought that even if he admitted his mistake, the other party would probably not forgive him, because the other party's cultivation was so powerful, his every move was awe-inspiring and terrifying. He could kill people at the slightest disagreement, so there was no doubt that the other party would definitely kill him.
Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and, without saying a word, turned and left.
"What, fellow Daoist, are you also trying to escape? You don't even tell me before you leave? Who do you think I am? Do you think I'm so easy to talk to?" Jiang Chen sneered and charged forward.
The man was instantly terrified, his face changed drastically, and he trembled all over. He quickly used his strongest footwork and, with a loud bang, ran away like an arrow released from a bow.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the horizon like lightning.
Jiang Chen sneered, and in a flash, he shot out like a beam of light. His speed was incredibly fast; with a whoosh, he disappeared like a bolt of lightning, even faster than the previous lightning bolt.
The man in black laughed heartily as he fled, his face flushed with joy, believing he was now safe and had nothing to fear.
But suddenly, he noticed a figure in the distance, thousands of miles in front of him. A figure was waiting for him there. He was slightly taken aback, feeling that the figure was somewhat familiar, but he didn't know what was going on. He quickly rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things. The next moment, when he saw it clearly, his pupils dilated instantly, and he was shocked and stood there in disbelief.
Good heavens, what did he see? The person he saw was Jiang Chen, whom he had just lost.
Upon seeing this person, Jiang Chen smiled coldly and said in a deep voice, "Since you refuse to obey, there's no need to spare your life."
After speaking, Jiang Chen immediately conjured the large cauldron he had just acquired and slammed it towards the man in black.
Upon seeing this, the man in black felt a chill run down his spine and, without saying a word, quickly drew his sword to defend himself.
In the blink of an eye, the cauldron and the sword collided.
The black-clad man's sword was as fragile as tofu, instantly turning into powder. But that wasn't all. The cauldron's attack struck the black-clad man directly, causing him to cough up blood. His body was instantly dismembered, scattered haphazardly in various corners, looking utterly terrifying.
Needless to say, this man in black had long since lost all his extraordinary aura.
