Not only that, his entire arm also broke off, and blood gushed out instantly, with bone fragments mixed with blood splattering everywhere!
"Didn't we agree to stop here? Are you trying to kill me?" The man in blue suppressed his inner pain and said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Isn't this just a matter of stopping short of death? If it weren't for this agreement, you would probably be dead a hundred times over. You should be glad you're still alive. I only crippled your arm, I didn't take your life. If I hadn't promised the city lord, do you think you would still have the chance to speak to me?" Gu Changqing sneered, speaking with an indifferent expression.
"What's the difference between crippling my arm and killing me? You're just breaking your promise!" The man in blue was still not satisfied and said with a questioning look on his face.
He felt he was injured and therefore believed that Gu Changqing had not kept his promise to the city lord.
"Heh! You're not keeping your word? My agreement with the city lord was that I wouldn't kill or harm you, but I never said I wouldn't hurt you in the slightest. If you think killing you is the same as crippling your arm, then I wouldn't mind killing you right now and seeing if it's really the same. Do you want to try? Anyway, I don't mind. Killing one more person or one less person is irrelevant to me." Gu Changqing said with a cold smile and no expression.
"You're ruthless. I've had the worst luck of my life to run into you today. I thought you'd go easy on me, but you're so cruel." The man in blue continued his tirade, speaking without restraint.
The man in blue continued to do as he pleased, speaking ungratefully.
Gu Changqing was speechless when he heard the man in blue's words. He thought to himself, "If I hadn't promised the city lord beforehand that I wouldn't harm anyone's life, you would have died countless times already. And now you're still not satisfied and are still talking nonsense. You really don't know what's good for you."
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing smiled faintly, his face as cold as ice, and said, "Believe it or not, if you say another word, I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow. If you really anger me, I won't care about any promises anymore."
Only then did the man in blue realize the resolve in Gu Changqing's words. Seeing the other man's extremely cold expression, he believed that the other man was already angry. If he said another word, he might really be killed.
So the man in blue quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking, silently retreating. Although he was unwilling, he knew that his strength was indeed inferior to others, so he could only lower his head and show weakness, at least he was still alive.
Seeing that the man in blue had retreated on his own initiative, Gu Changqing didn't say anything more and didn't intend to make things difficult for him. If it were in the past, this man in blue would have died countless times. He was lucky today. If he encountered him again next time, he probably wouldn't be so lucky.
Gu Changqing then regained his composure, smiled slightly, and said casually, "Anyone else who wants to challenge me should not miss this opportunity!"
For a long time, no one responded, and no one went on stage!
Those people in the audience probably felt that they were not as good as the others, which is why they didn't dare to come up.
"If no one dares to challenge me, then I will consider this arena match a victory," Gu Changqing asked again when no one responded.
At this moment, the city lord also walked over from the arena and calmly addressed the people below: "If no fellow Daoist comes to compete, then today's arena competition will end here. Now I announce that the final winner of today's challenge is..."
Just as the city lord was about to announce Gu Changqing's name, a loud voice suddenly came from below the stage: "Wait, let me do it, I want to challenge this fellow Daoist!"
From a distance, the man, dressed in a purple robe, appeared to be at least 1.89 meters tall, imposing and strong, with wheat-colored skin and an extraordinary air about him.
Upon closer inspection, his face was resolute and his eyes were deep, giving the impression that he had a story to tell, and he was clearly a man with a past.
Gu Changqing sensed the opponent's strength and found that the opponent was at the fifth level of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, which was quite formidable. The opponent had the highest cultivation level among all the arenas, and it was quite patient of them to have waited until now to come up on stage.
The man in purple stepped onto the arena, politely cupped his hands, and said, "I am willing to have a match with you, fellow Daoist. I hope you will be generous in giving me your guidance. If I am no match for you, I beg you to show mercy."
"No problem, no problem, you're too kind, fellow Daoist. As long as they're not ungrateful, I won't do anything to them." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly.
At this moment, when the city lord's daughter, Yu'er, saw the man in purple on the arena, her expression suddenly changed, and her heart became complicated.
Because Yu'er was wearing a veil, no one could see her face, so everyone assumed she was a stunning beauty, just as rumored. Gu Changqing was no exception and thought so too, unaware that there was anything wrong with Yu'er beside him.
The man in purple glanced in Yu'er's direction with a meaningful look, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
It turns out that the two had known each other for a long time and had already fallen in love. They had even pledged their lives to each other long ago. Apart from Yu'er's personal maid, no one else knew about their relationship.
Gu Changqing was no exception; he was unaware that the two of them already had someone else in their hearts.
At this moment, the man in purple had only one wish: to defeat his opponent and marry the girl he loved.
The man in purple was not confident that he could defeat his opponent. Although he could not sense the opponent's cultivation level, he knew that the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated. Since the opponent took the stage, he had never lost and seemed very confident, never taking anyone seriously. This made the man in purple feel uneasy.
This matter concerns his life's most important event and the girl he loves. Even if he can't beat her, he has to fight with all his might. If he doesn't even dare to step into the ring, how can he face his beloved Yu'er?
"What are you thinking about, fellow Daoist? Don't be in a daze. I'll let you make the first move this time, since you've been very polite!" Gu Changqing urged when he saw that the other party didn't react.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The man in purple smiled slightly and said very politely.
After speaking, the man in purple robes immediately produced a divine sword in his hand without saying another word. Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted and raged out, filled with overwhelming killing intent, howling and surging, ready to burst forth.
Under this terrifying fluctuation, even the void could barely withstand it, cracking layer by layer as if a luminous pearl were shattering, reaching an extreme level of horror.
