After killing the man in black, Gu Changqing returned to the arena with unparalleled elegance!
"Anyone who wants to come up and compete with me, hurry up! I'll definitely keep you company to the end today and have some fun with you."
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said casually.
Seeing how powerful Gu Changqing was, no one dared to go on stage to compete, fearing they would lose their lives.
After all, no matter how beautiful the city lord's daughter is, or how powerful and wealthy her family is, she can't enjoy life without her own life.
"He's so powerful, what if we're not like him and he kills us all?"
"That's right, this is a martial arts competition, not a fight to the death. What's the point of competing if we're going to lose our lives?"
"That's right! Arena battles should be about stopping short of a fight, determining a winner and a loser. It shouldn't be about killing people so easily. That's too scary. If it's like that, how can we dare to go up there? What if we're defeated and killed? Who would dare to go up then?"
Immediately, the others below the arena started whispering among themselves, and the scene became incredibly awkward.
Seeing the chaotic scene, the city lord, in order to dispel everyone's doubts, came up with a solution. He walked to the center of the arena and solemnly said to everyone: "Today is the day to choose a husband for my daughter. My daughter and I do not want to see any of you gentlemen lose your lives for her. Therefore, from now on, the arena competition will be stopped when necessary, and no one should be killed."
The cultivators below the stage were relieved to hear the city lord speak.
But Gu Changqing was displeased. He asked with a disdainful look, "Is the City Lord saying this to me?"
"Young master, please don't be angry. This city lord is doing this for everyone's safety. After all, we're here to compete, not to fight. And most of you are strangers with no grudges, so it's best to stop here. I hope you can understand."
The city lord smiled slightly and said with a sincere expression.
“What if someone more skilled than Young Master Gu appears in the arena? If that person were to attack you, wouldn’t Young Master Gu lose his life? Therefore, I’m doing this for everyone’s comfort. No one wants to lose their life in every arena match, and it’s also to ensure that this arena competition can proceed smoothly. I hope you can consider the bigger picture.” Before Gu Changqing could speak, the city lord continued to explain.
Gu Changqing understood the city lord's words perfectly. If everyone were killed, no one would want to fight in the arena, and who would he play with? Thinking of this, Gu Changqing smiled and said, "You're too kind, city lord. You're right. I will show mercy. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't take their lives casually!"
"Young Master Gu is truly insightful and righteous. I, the city lord, thank you in advance." The city lord smiled with satisfaction, feeling that Gu Changqing was very perceptive.
The city lord then stepped out of the arena.
After hearing Gu Changqing's promise to the city lord, the others in the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to step onto the stage.
The martial arts competition then continued.
"Now surely someone will be willing to step into the arena to compete? Don't worry, everyone, I won't take your lives casually. Killing you would be of no use to me, and I won't bother with it." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said seriously.
"It seems there are no problems this time. I can go up and compete with peace of mind now," said a man in a golden robe below the arena with a sigh of relief.
Although he considered himself to be quite strong, he was still unsure if he could defeat this person. Now, with the city lord's guarantee, he felt relieved. Even if he couldn't win, at least he wouldn't pay with his life.
Immediately afterwards, the man in the golden robe took to the air and flew directly onto the arena.
He wore a golden robe, his long hair was flowing and spotless, and he had a pair of bright and deep eyes. His muscles were very well-developed, making him look very strong. Moreover, the powerful aura emanating from his body showed that his cultivation was extremely high.
A golden sword hung at his waist. Although its material was unknown, even a wisp of its aura exuded an aura of extreme sharpness.
Gu Changqing sensed the person and went to investigate, discovering that the person's cultivation level was at the peak of the Great Venerable realm.
To others, the cultivation level of the peak of the Great Venerable is indeed not low, but in Gu Changqing's eyes it is still very trash, so Gu Changqing did not take it seriously at all.
The man in the golden robe spoke first, politely saying, "Please make the first move, young master!"
The reason the man in the golden robe was so polite was that he didn't want to offend this person. It was better to avoid trouble than to suffer a miserable death like the man in black. It was best to be cautious.
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly, "You go first. I'm afraid if I make the first move, you won't even have a chance to make a move. You finally get to be on stage, so I'll be a good person and give you a chance to make a move."
The man in the golden robe thought to himself that being humble was indeed useful.
Without a word, the man in the golden robe drew his sword and with a swing of his arm, unleashed a terrifying killing intent that swept outwards. A vast and terrifying aura rushed towards them, filled with overwhelming killing intent, roaring and surging.
Under this terrifying fluctuation, the void could not withstand it and cracked layer by layer as if a mirror were shattering, which was extremely frightening.
Suddenly, everyone felt an extremely powerful aura pressing down on them, making it difficult for most to breathe.
Without saying a word, the man in the golden robe drew his sword and charged at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing simply smiled faintly at the sight, showing no fear or panic whatsoever. He remained motionless, maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.
"Boom!"
A tremendous explosion resounded through the sky, and the terrifying force struck Gu Changqing squarely.
But to everyone's surprise, Gu Changqing was still standing there unharmed, with a faint smile on his face.
My God, what is this person's cultivation level? How can he be so powerful? He can send people flying just by standing there without moving. It's terrifying!
My God, this is terrifying! Who is this person? How can he be so powerful?
For a moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts aching as if they had witnessed something of utter magnitude.
At this moment, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that one has won and the other has lost. Neither of them has made a move, and even if the other had, they wouldn't have been as good as the other. The outcome couldn't be clearer.
The man in the golden robe stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his heart sinking to the bottom. He never expected that his full-force sword strike would be unable to even break through the opponent's defenses.
My God, is this real? Or am I dreaming?
