"Hmph, you finally agreed, let's go!" Wang Kang snorted coldly, as if afraid he would refuse.
"Heh, how could I, Gu, refuse? It seems you are well-versed in the art of courting death. Well then, I have nothing more to say. Let's go." Gu Changqing stroked his chin and smiled faintly.
Before leaving, he asked Jiang Qingcheng, "Are you going or not?"
"I'm not going. The result will be the same anyway, like crushing an ant. I have no interest in watching it," Jiang Qingcheng said with a shake of her head and a smile.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing didn't say anything more. He took a step forward, and his figure appeared directly in front of Wang Kang.
"You're finally out!" Wang Kang exclaimed with delight.
But the next moment his expression turned sour. He was surprised to find that he could not sense any cultivation aura from Gu Changqing. Could it be that the other party's cultivation level had surpassed his own?
But that's impossible. According to the investigation, this Gu was just an ordinary disciple before. When he first came to the sect, almost no elders were willing to take him in. It was only later that the beautiful sect leader took him in. So how could his cultivation be higher than mine?
Wang Kang couldn't figure it out, so he subconsciously thought that the other party was just making a fuss.
"So what if you're out? Let's go, let everyone see how you're defeated." Gu Changqing said indifferently, not giving the man much of a friendly look. Although they were all from the same sect, it seemed that he wouldn't easily admit defeat unless he was beaten into submission.
Not long after, on the arena...
This arena is made of round logs, consisting of over a hundred thick logs stacked together. It is about three or four meters high and is generally used by sects for martial arts competitions.
It was also used as a platform for life and death.
However, sects forbid infighting, so the Life and Death Arena was later abolished. It only allows disciples to spar with each other, but only to a limited extent. After all, small sects have few people, and if too many die, there will be no new generation.
These are the rules personally set by the beautiful sect leader when she founded the sect.
Gu Changqing stood on the arena, his gaze sweeping calmly over Wang Kang opposite him, feeling only a little amused.
Wang Kang, on the other side, also found it amusing. What kind of time is this to be putting on such an act? It's simply outrageous!
He strongly suspected that Gu Changqing had gotten his position through connections.
"Hey everyone, tell me, who's going to win this battle?"
"Isn't that obvious? It's definitely Chief Gu! Let me tell you a secret, Wang Kang can't even take a single finger off Chief Gu!"
"What? Chief Gu is actually this terrifying?"
"Hey, you're so out of touch! Let me tell you, Chief Gu, he..."
The audience below was abuzz with discussion, with each disciple whispering amongst themselves, clearly very curious about the upcoming battle.
Since the chief disciple of the inner sect had taken action, many other disciples in the sect heard the news and immediately came to see what was going on. They were unaware of Gu Changqing's prowess and were asking him questions.
Hearing the murmurs from below the stage, Gu Changqing ignored them and smiled at Wang Kang, saying, "To prevent others from saying that I, the chief, am bullying the weak, I'll just stand here and let you hit me, how about that?"
These words immediately enraged Wang Kang.
Wang Kang jumped up and shouted, "Gu Changqing, who do you think you are?!"
"Haha, don't be angry. If you've got the guts, punch me, or I'll sleep with your woman." Gu Changqing stroked his chin, looking at him with amusement.
"Outrageous!" Wang Kang laughed angrily, said nothing more, and threw a punch.
With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave exploded, and the arena cracked and trembled violently, almost bursting apart under the force.
Many people in the audience could feel the terrifying shockwave coming towards them, and they couldn't help but be thrown backward.
"Wow, no wonder he was once the chief! His power is astonishing!"
"Heh, come on, with his skills, he's no match for Chief Gu."
Many people retreated hastily while discussing the matter.
They could all see that Wang Kang had put all his strength into that punch, as if he wanted to decide the outcome with one blow, but it was not even in the same league as Chief Gu's.
Faced with this punch, Gu Changqing didn't even blink, just stood there motionless, letting him hit him.
Wang Kang was even angrier, absolutely furious. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength into his fist, concentrated it into a single point, and slammed it hard into Gu Changqing's chest!
"boom!"
Wang Kang's fist slammed into Gu Changqing's chest, and something unexpected happened. He felt as if he had hit an incredibly hard meteorite. Holy crap, it was incredibly hard! His fist instantly shattered into pieces amidst a series of crackling explosions!
"Snap!!"
Bones flew out and landed all over the ground.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Actually, I was too lazy to pay attention to you, but you were just too annoying, so I had no choice but to accept the challenge. How about this? I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already like this. Do you know what it means to humiliate yourself?" Gu Changqing looked at him with interest and smiled faintly.
"You...you...you...you...what kind of body is this? Why is it so hard!" Wang Kang stared in shock, his eyes wide, and screamed helplessly.
"What physical body?" Gu Changqing smiled slightly, resting his chin on his hand and said leisurely and calmly, "I don't know either, but my physical body is already this strong after just finishing the training."
At this point, he raised his left hand, revealing his armpit, and then reached into his armpit with his right hand and plucked a hair with a "snap".
The sound of plucking feathers was extremely grating, like a steel nail being pulled from an iron block, causing countless people in the audience to shudder in disbelief.
Then, Gu Changqing said with a smile, "You must be tired from that punch just now. How about you take one of my moves now? I won't use my fists, just a hair. If you can take this hair, you'll win today."
Wang Kang dared not accept. Just hearing the sound of plucking feathers had shocked him so much that his jaw almost dropped. Without saying a word, he turned and left.
"Gu Changqing, I'm not feeling well today, let's fight another day!" Wang Kang said, though he turned to leave, he was still unwilling to admit defeat.
Gu Changqing chuckled and threw the feather in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
Mao flew towards Wang Kang against the strong wind.
Wang Kang hadn't run very far, and this hair caught up with him in an instant.
"What! No!" Wang Kang was terrified. He quickly waved his hand, and a bronze shield suddenly appeared behind him, protecting him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, to the utter astonishment of countless people below the stage, the hair lightly landed on the shield, and with a loud "crack," the shield exploded violently, sparks flying everywhere, and was directly cut in two.
"Holy crap!" someone exclaimed.
"Holy crap!" someone exclaimed in horror.
Wang Kang is just unbelievable! His eyes are wide open. Holy crap, even a single hair of his is this powerful? My god, is this even fair?
He was terrified, but at such close range, he had no time to escape. In his frantic struggle, he forgot to fight back. The hair lashed out and ripped open his clothes, revealing a layer of golden armor underneath.
"Snap!"
The hair struck the golden armor, producing a piercing explosion. The golden armor was instantly cleaved in two, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
Wang Kang was instantly terrified, immediately raising his hands and screaming, "I was wrong! I was wrong! Chief Gu, I surrender, I surrender! Spare me!"
Gu Changqing said calmly, "Don't worry, this chief isn't that petty. I'd rather not kill a weakling."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the hair touched Wang Kang's body. Wang Kang immediately felt as if he had been hit by an ancient divine mountain. He was sent flying tens of thousands of miles away, becoming a small black dot on the horizon, and then he was silent.
Then, Gu Changqing flicked his sleeves, as if he had done something insignificant.
The entire audience was shocked, watching this scene in disbelief, their hearts pounding and their breath caught in their throats!
After a long while, an explosion occurred in the arena, and the crowd erupted in cheers!
"Holy crap, awesome!"
"Chief Gu is awesome! Chief Gu is awesome!"
Wow, that's incredible! And it's just a single hair!
"Yes, the previous chief is nowhere near as good as the current chief!"
"Holy crap, Chief Gu is terrifying! I'm on my knees!"
The cheers in the stadium were deafening, like a pot exploding, rolling endlessly!
