Gu Changqing found the gray-clad man's words hilarious. He gave a cold laugh and said in a deep voice, "I'm not discussing this with you. Do you think you have any say in front of me? You have to do whatever I tell you to do. You have no right to choose."
"We're not your pet cats or dogs. Why should we listen to you and just quit whenever you want?" the gray-clad man retorted stubbornly.
"You can choose not to play, or I can choose to continue playing. Whether you play or not, the result is the same: you can't escape my grasp. You should know that you were the ones who offended me first. Even if we don't play this game, do you think I'll be so kind as to let you go for no reason? You're too naive. Whether you can leave or not depends on your strength." Gu Changqing said with a smile instead of anger, full of confidence.
In Gu Changqing's eyes, these people were a bunch of cowardly rats. They dared to call themselves quasi-immortal emperor level experts. They were utterly trash and had no guts at all.
Upon hearing Gu Changqing's words, these people immediately sensed that something was seriously wrong. They had already fought with this person and knew his strength very well. If they fought him one by one, none of them would be a match for him.
Therefore, it seems that they must join forces to have any hope of winning; otherwise, they may lose their lives here.
"Now look what's happened, we're all doomed. It's all your fault. If you hadn't called us, we wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. Now it's too late to back out," one of the men in black complained to the man in gray.
If the man in gray hadn't called them here, he would still be at home, enjoying the company of courtesans and concubines.
"That's right! They even tricked us into thinking there was some treasure. Now the treasure is long gone, and I'm afraid my life is in danger. I really made a bad friend. If I had the treasure, if I had survived this calamity, I would have broken off all ties with you immediately." The black-clad man at the fifth level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor was filled with regret and said angrily. He should have known better than to come. He had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.
"Alright, stop talking. What can you do besides complain? Now is not the time to complain. It's too late to say anything now. You might as well think about how to get out of this predicament!" Another man in black said impatiently, his brows furrowed and his mind in turmoil.
"Yes, yes, that's the right thing to do. Once we get through this crisis, I'll apologize to each and every one of you. You can hit me or scold me however you want. What we need now is to unite and fight against outsiders." The man in gray was also extremely annoyed and somewhat remorseful as he spoke.
Seeing that the man in gray was so remorseful, the men in black didn't say anything more.
Gu Changqing listened to their conversation without taking it seriously, showing no signs of nervousness. He calmly said, "It's probably impossible for you to escape from me unscathed. You'd better think about what your last words are."
Almost no one can escape from him alive; anyone he wants to kill never survives.
"Don't push your luck. If the few of us join forces, we might still have a chance. It's too early to say that. We won't compromise until the very last moment," the man in black said stubbornly, his voice filled with anger.
"Hehehe, do you think I'm afraid of the few of you joining forces? I told you all from the beginning that you could all come at me together, but you were too proud to do so. It's not that I'm not afraid. Now I'm giving you one last chance. Come at me all at once and see if you can win!" Gu Changqing sneered, his face full of disdain and contempt.
“Since we’ve come this far, let’s all attack together. The reason he’s so arrogant is probably because his strength far surpasses ours. His cultivation level should be at the Immortal Emperor level. If that’s the case, he’s much stronger than us. It seems that today’s matter can’t be resolved peacefully. I think everyone should be very clear about the consequences of provoking an Immortal Emperor. We must attack together, and we can’t hold back. We should do everything we can to take him down!” The gray-robed man guessed solemnly with a serious expression.
“Yes, that makes sense. Otherwise, none of us might have made it out today!” The black-clad man, a quasi-immortal emperor at the ninth level, agreed wholeheartedly. He had just witnessed the man’s strength firsthand, and it was definitely extraordinary. He was arguably the most powerful person he had ever encountered.
“I have no objection either. Rather than sitting and waiting to die, we should fight to the death and not let him look down on us!” Another black-clad man at the fifth level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor also chimed in.
After exchanging words in a short while, they roared and took out their weapons and magical artifacts, and charged towards Gu Changqing with great momentum!
"Perfect timing! I've been itching for a fight!"
Seeing the aggressive momentum coming from the other side, Gu Changqing was not angry but happy! He thought there weren't enough people. Even if a whole group of people came, he wouldn't be afraid. It's more fun to fight with more people. And when it comes to fighting, if he claims to be number one, probably no one would dare to claim to be number two!
Immediately afterward, Gu Changqing waved his hand, and the surrounding void for tens of thousands of miles changed instantly. An extremely sharp aura burst forth, sealing off the area layer by layer. Then, looking up, one could see a sword that had appeared in the void at some point. From a distance, its sharpness was imposing, and the blade was engraved with ancient patterns, exuding a chilling aura.
The sword was exceptionally powerful, and it arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. The people were startled and sensed something was wrong, so they quickly summoned their strongest treasures to defend themselves.
But to their surprise, their treasure was as fragile as a windowpane, and was pierced to pieces in a single exchange.
The two Quasi-Immortal Emperors who were at the forefront were pierced through by Gu Changqing's sword, their bodies riddled with holes. Blood splattered everywhere, creating a gruesome scene. Neither of them expected to die so quickly. They regretted not being at the forefront, but it was too late for regrets now.
In a short while, the two quasi-Immortal Emperors lay dead in pools of blood, lifeless.
"My God, what level of cultivation does this person have? How can he be so powerful? Are we all no match for him?"
"My God, how could he be so terrifying? This time I'm really having a really bad time."
"Heavens! He suppressed so many quasi-Immortal Emperors so easily! What kind of monster is this person? He's so terrifying! Could he be a reincarnation of a Great Luo Immortal?"
Seeing this horrifying scene before them, the four remaining people were all shaken to their core, feeling a chill run through them, an extreme cold.
They were immediately jolted, their minds reeling and trembling. They had never encountered anything so terrifying before. For a moment, they felt uncertain, their skin crawling, and they were at a loss, not knowing what to do.
This time, they really hit a brick wall. They lost everything, not only did they fail to obtain any of the treasures from this person, but they also became deeply entangled in the situation, making escape a luxury.
