Meanwhile, Gu Changqing, having nothing to do, had already flown to a place tens of thousands of miles away.
He was now in mid-air, looking down at the towering mountain peaks that seemed to reach into the clouds, one after another, stretching endlessly. All around the mountains were dense forests, many beautiful wildflowers, and all sorts of wildflowers and grasses whose names he didn't know. Everywhere was a vibrant scene of life, which made him feel very happy.
He looked around again and saw a small town not far away. There were many people in the town, and from his perspective, they looked very small, like ants.
With a thought, Gu Changqing slowly descended from mid-air into the small town. He wanted to know why this seemingly insignificant and unremarkable town was so prosperous and had so many people.
As soon as Gu Changqing landed on the ground, he saw a dark crowd gathered in front of him. He couldn't help but be curious and decided to go and see what was going on and why it was so lively.
"Fellow Daoist, are you confident that you can win this arena match today? I feel that there are many experts here today. If I go up to fight, I'm afraid I won't have a chance of winning. I wonder if you are confident?" A young man in white asked very politely.
"I don't know either. After all, my strength is only at the Great Venerable level. If there is someone stronger than me, then I definitely have no chance!" Another gray-robed man smiled helplessly and said without confidence.
Changqing heard their conversation clearly and realized that it was a martial arts competition. He wondered if there would be any reward for winning.
"Fellow Daoists, may I ask what the rewards are for winning the arena battle? Why are so many people participating? Are the rewards exceptionally generous?" Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile, very politely.
"Fellow Daoist, you must be from out of town. You don't even know what the rewards are? Whoever wins the arena competition will not only marry the beautiful Yu'er, but also inherit his family's wealth. Yu'er's father only has one daughter, and he is the city lord. He is not only rich but also powerful. Who wouldn't want to win? You'll gain both career success and fame, and you can also win the heart of a beauty. It's practically a win-win situation!" The gray-robed man spoke eloquently.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and every man present wanted to be the ultimate winner today, but the outcome was not up to them.
"Oh, I see. That's quite interesting," Gu Changqing said with a smile.
The match had already begun on the stage. A man in black and a man in white were exchanging punches and kicks, fighting fiercely.
"Fellow Daoist, I advise you to get lost as soon as possible. Do you think you can defeat me? As for the reward, forget about it. You can't beat me at all. If you can, I'll give you my strongest treasure." The man in black said directly, not even waiting for the man in white to speak. His attitude was extremely arrogant, as he thought no one could beat him.
In order to quickly defeat the man in white, the man in black unleashed his full power and charged fiercely at the man in white.
The man in white was instantly knocked off the stage, coughing up blood.
It was clear that the man in white had lost.
The man in black burst into laughter, shouting smugly, "Who else? Come on up, don't waste my time."
Gu Changqing hadn't originally planned to participate in this arena, but he hadn't expected the man in black on the stage to be so audacious. Gu Changqing decided to meet him and let him know that there are always people more powerful than you. Besides, this trip had been rather boring, so he might as well play along with him.
This also lets the man in black know that he is utterly useless in his eyes.
With that thought in mind, Gu Changqing stepped onto the arena.
"Another one coming to die, hahaha, I can crush you with one punch." The man in black said arrogantly.
The man in black completely disregarded Gu Changqing because he couldn't sense any aura emanating from him. If he couldn't defeat him, what was the point of cultivating? He might as well find a wall and smash his head against it to die, thus saving himself from making a fool of himself here.
Gu Changqing smiled and said calmly, "Is that so?"
His cultivation was incredibly powerful; he was now a figure of immense stature. Even an ordinary former emperor could be crushed with a single hand, let alone such a useless piece of trash as the one before him.
Gu Changqing glanced at him briefly, and immediately took in his cultivation level. His cultivation was utterly trash, while Gu Changqing was eighty or ninety realms higher, and by a major realm at that. Gu Changqing believed that he could defeat this piece of trash without even using a hand, just with a fingernail, and utterly crush him.
Gu Changqing said directly, "Fine, since you look down on people like this, then I, Gu, will definitely not show any mercy."
The man in black chuckled and said, "You can't beat me at all. How about this, let's not fight. You can just give me your most valuable treasures. If you lose, you might get hurt. Now you can just admit defeat and give me all your treasures. Wouldn't that save us some trouble? Do you think I'm right?"
Gu Changqing laughed upon hearing this and said directly, "Whether you can beat me or not, let's talk. Don't waste your breath on me now. If you have the guts, come on up here. If you don't, then give me what you have!"
Gu Changqing is giving him a taste of his own medicine. Didn't he just say that? Well, Gu Changqing will now use his words to retort.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the man in black immediately flew into a rage. He leaped up on the spot, his muscles cracking and popping, and his aura instantly surged, as if he were about to engage Gu Changqing in a fierce battle. He took out a large iron hammer, which was covered with various runes and gems, glittering and shining, as if these things could provide the hammer with powerful strength.
