Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Gu Changqing smiled coldly and said nothing.
Without saying a word, he prepared to attack the remaining four.
Just then, a hurried voice suddenly shouted, "Wait, senior, wait! I know I was wrong, I admit defeat. I was wrong today, and I will never dare to do it again!"
"Yes, senior, we had no intention of offending you today. It was all the work of the man in gray. He sent us here. We were completely unaware of what was going on and were kept in the dark. We are victims too! Please, senior, have mercy on us, considering we are victims..."
"Senior, to show my sincerity, I am willing to offer you my wife and more than ten concubines, just please have mercy and spare my life..."
Gu Changqing was speechless when he heard what they said. He didn't expect them to be such hopeless cowards, not acting like men at all. They bullied the weak and feared the strong, and would give in as soon as they saw that they were not strong enough. This kind of people are the most disgusting.
"If I remember correctly, you guys were just saying you were going to fight to the death. How come you've changed your minds now? You've really confused me. I don't know what you're thinking. If you had any backbone, I would respect you and treat you differently. But your spinelessness is truly despicable. You are simply scum among men. If I don't get rid of this trash, even God won't stand for it." Gu Changqing sneered, his face full of contempt.
"I think the three of you should stop pleading with him. Look at his cold-blooded and ruthless manner, do you think he'll let us go? He's already made himself perfectly clear, can't you understand? We're all in this together." The man in gray gave a bitter smile and said very clearly. He had to get them to stand on his side.
He stopped pleading for mercy, knowing he had nowhere to turn. Even if he begged for forgiveness, Gu Changqing wouldn't let him go, since everything was caused by him, and besides, his accomplices probably hated him to the core now.
"If we don't plead for them, are we just waiting to die? We don't want to die; we have wives and children at home," one of the men in black said with some dissatisfaction.
“That’s right, even at this point you’re still dragging us down with you. You have no conscience at all. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be suffering this undeserved disaster. I wish I could skin you alive and eat you alive.” Another man in black said indignantly.
“We call this abandoning darkness and turning to the light, actively admitting our mistakes. We were wrong to begin with, so what’s wrong with us admitting our mistakes now? Admitting mistakes is what we should do,” the remaining man in black said in agreement.
Seeing them arguing and fighting amongst themselves, Gu Changqing suddenly had an idea!
"Considering the sincerity of the three of you, I, Gu, intend to give you a chance," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, his tone serious.
"What opportunity? Please tell us, senior, and we will do our best to seize it!" Upon hearing this, the three men in black were immediately excited and agreed without hesitation.
"Seeing that the three of you are all so eager to live, I'm willing to do you a favor. Only one of you can live, and whoever survives to the end, I'll spare their life," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile and a calm expression.
Wouldn't it be better to let them kill each other? It would save him the trouble of doing it himself, and he could also watch a real-life slaughter competition for free. He wanted to see what incredible things they would do in the face of life and death, and he also wanted to know who would emerge victorious in this fierce battle.
"Senior, are you sure you're not mistaken? Why is the culprit, the man in gray, unharmed, while we three victims are forced to kill each other?"
They were all incredulous when they heard Gu Changqing's words.
"The three of you dare to call yourselves victims? That's ridiculous. Didn't you participate in this? You still have the nerve to call yourselves victims? Besides, do you need to tell me what Gu does? Please use your brains. Do you think Gu will let the culprit go?" Gu Changqing said with a cold smile and no expression.
Upon hearing Gu Changqing's words, the three men in black felt a chill in their hearts. They were in a dilemma, as they were usually very close brothers, and it was truly difficult to adapt to the fact that they had to turn against each other.
The gray-clad man wasn't surprised by Gu Changqing's words. After all, none of the men in black had escaped unscathed, so why would they let him go?
"What's wrong with you guys? Are you finding it difficult? If you are, then I, Gu, can lend you a hand and come down with you to keep you company, how about that?" Gu Changqing said impatiently when he saw their expressions.
If they were unwilling, Gu Changqing wouldn't mind just ending things for them. The reason he didn't do that was to watch them kill each other.
"No, no, no, senior, don't worry, I agree." One of the men in black hurriedly said.
After he finished speaking, his gaze turned sinister and terrifying. No one else noticed his change. Taking advantage of the fact that the other two were off guard, he unexpectedly slapped them both with his palm.
The other two men in black were caught off guard and were sent flying hundreds of meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, they hadn't used their full strength, so their injuries weren't too serious.
"I'm sorry, brothers, but in this situation it's either you or me. I'm doing this to save my own life. I have no other choice but to do this. I hope you won't blame me. I had no other option but to resort to this." The man in black said shamelessly, without any sense of wrongdoing.
He couldn't care less about anything else now. Brotherhood was meaningless to him; none of it mattered as much as his own life. To save his own life, he would kill not only his brothers but also his wife without hesitation.
Gu Changqing found the scene before him very interesting. It seemed that in the face of life, some people were capable of anything and were willing to give up anything.
