"Since you've spoken, senior, then I'll respectfully comply." The man in black shivered, his face beaming with a smile, and said in agreement.
Although he harbored many grievances, he dared not show them. After all, he dared not offend this powerful figure and could only follow the figure's wishes, since the other party was stronger than him.
After listening, Gu Changqing said with great satisfaction, "Yes, that's more like it."
Then he calmly said to the man in gray, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance. Do you have any last words before you die? Speak them now!"
The man in gray was surprised that Gu Changqing was so understanding. He had already prepared to die, but he never expected to have a chance to live a little longer.
"I don't have much to say in my last words, but I do have one wish left unfulfilled. I wonder if you could grant me a little more time to finish this matter?" the gray-clad man asked calmly.
"Oh? What is it? Tell me, and if I think it's acceptable, I will naturally agree." Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback and asked with some curiosity.
"Please forgive me, senior, but you have no need to worry. I am no match for you, so I can't run away, and I won't. I will do what I need to do right here." The gray-clad man smiled slightly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"What else can he say, senior? Just get rid of him already. I get angry just looking at him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be so unlucky today, and my brothers wouldn't have died so tragically. It's all because of him. I don't want to see him for a second longer. I wish I could devour him alive." The man in black said with a disdainful and indignant expression.
He saw right through the man in gray. If it weren't for his terrible idea, his brothers wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
"Don't be so aggressive. He won't live much longer. You don't need to be like this," Gu Changqing said calmly to the man in black with a slight smile.
"I'd like to know what your last unresolved matter is. Anyway, it won't take long, so I'll just grant your wish!" Gu Changqing said to the gray-clad man before they could speak.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" the gray-clad man said gratefully.
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a long spear appeared in his hand. He looked at the man in black with a cold and stern gaze.
Seeing this, the man in black asked with some doubt, "Who are you trying to fight with that spear? Could it be a senior? Don't fight like a cornered beast; you can't beat a senior."
The man in black assumed he wanted to fight his senior and said sarcastically, completely unaware of who the murderous intent in his eyes was actually directed at.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing smiled faintly, not afraid at all. It wasn't because he was strong enough to be unafraid, but because he had already guessed what the gray-clothed man wanted to do. However, he didn't say anything. If it was really as he thought, then he could watch another good show.
--------------------
The gray-clad man was no longer willing to waste any more words with the black-clad man. He simply waved his hand, raised his spear, and with a swing of his arm, a terrifying killing intent erupted and raged forth. The vast and terrifying aura was filled with overwhelming killing intent, roaring and surging, and with a "boom," it pierced through like lightning.
The man in black immediately sensed something was wrong. His target wasn't his senior, but himself. The man in black was utterly terrified, realizing that his strength was inferior to the senior's, and he was suddenly filled with fear.
Seeing the gray-clad man thrusting a spear at him, his eyelids twitched violently. He roared angrily, and the large hammer immediately appeared in his hand as he used all his strength to resist.
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided violently, resulting in a deafening explosion, sparks flew, and swords flashed.
"Snap!"
The gray-clad man's spear instantly knocked the hammer away from his hand. But that wasn't all; the spear continued forward, piercing the black-clad man's heart meridian without missing a beat, and then continued forward due to inertia.
"Pfft!"
Instantly, a spurt of blood gushed out, and the man in black was filled with disbelief and astonishment.
The man in black never expected that his senior was willing to let him go, so why was the man in gray unwilling to let him go? The two of them were old acquaintances, and he couldn't understand why the man in gray was so ruthless.
"Why...why did you kill me? We've known each other for a while, you're really despicable, even more despicable than me!" The man in black asked in shock and confusion.
"For no reason. They're all dead, and I'm about to die too. Why are you still alive? You should die with us. I'm not happy to see you alive. I'll take someone down with me even if I die." The man in gray smiled faintly and said calmly.
"You...you...you're a fucking pervert..."
After saying that, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, unwilling to accept his fate.
He was filled with regret. If he had known the gray-clad man was so ruthless, he would never have come. He had finally been given a chance to be reborn, but it had been ruined by his own people. How ironic.
If he were given another chance, he would never repeat the same mistake, but that's all hindsight. These were his last thoughts before he died, and there was no more chance.
Upon seeing the man in black dead, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
"You lot are really something. You can't stand to see each other doing well and you have to kill each other to feel better. I'm starting to wonder if you're really good friends. But your mutual slaughter has actually given me quite a good show to watch." Gu Changqing said with a playful tone, resting his chin on his hand.
In Gu Changqing's eyes, they were nothing more than a bunch of fair-weather friends who ate, drank, and had fun. How much genuine friendship could they possibly have? It was perfectly reasonable for them to do such a thing. Gu Changqing wasn't surprised at all; in fact, he found it quite amusing.
"Human nature is inherently fragile and cannot withstand tests. Besides, isn't this exactly what you, senior, would have wanted to see—us killing each other?" The gray-clad man smiled and said irritably.
He was no longer afraid of anything. Since he was going to die anyway, why should he compromise and be subservient to him?
