"Boom!"
All the meridians and veins in his body were opened up, and there were no more shackles or fetters. His aura soared, and he directly stepped into the true Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm!
"Hahaha, I am now a true quasi-Immortal Emperor! Let's see how you can still defeat me! I will now tear you to pieces!" The city lord laughed wildly and said excitedly.
"So what if he's a Quasi-Immortal Emperor? In my opinion, he's not worth mentioning at all, just a bunch of trash. I could easily crush him with a single finger." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, full of disdain.
"What did you say, you brat? You're too arrogant and don't know your place! Today, I, the city lord, will show you just how powerful a quasi-immortal emperor is, and you'll all regret it!" The city lord said angrily.
"Heh, you've been talking too much big talk, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?!" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, showing no mercy.
"Damn brat!" Upon hearing this, the city lord was instantly enraged. He unleashed his Quasi-Immortal Emperor level cultivation, throwing a punch that sent shockwaves flying. The terrifying shockwave, like a Category 12 typhoon, gathered between his fingers, creating a horrifying giant wave that sent chills down everyone's spine as it viciously slammed towards Gu Changqing.
He absolutely had to teach this brat who suddenly appeared out of nowhere a lesson today, otherwise how could he save face as the city lord?
"Good timing." Gu Changqing snorted coldly, unhurriedly using his finger as a sword to slash out.
In an instant, a flash of cold light appeared, like a celestial being descending from the heavens. The sky was cleaved open, creating a terrifying rift hundreds of millions of feet long, revealing even the dark wormhole deep within. Chaotic turbulence raged, terrifying beyond compare.
"Boom!"
In an instant, their attacks collided violently, and a deafening explosion rang out. Gu Changqing's palm slammed into the city lord's arm, instantly turning it into a cloud of blood mist. Then, a fist-sized hole was blasted into the city lord's chest, and blood gushed out, a horrifying and shocking sight.
The city lord suddenly collapsed to the ground, utterly shocked. He never imagined this man would be so powerful; he had thought he was just bluffing.
My God, who is this person? If I had known he was so powerful, I would never have dared to offend him and would have tried every means to befriend him. I wouldn't have ended up like this.
A moment later, the city lord, filled with resentment, slowly closed his eyes and breathed his last.
The assassins standing nearby were stunned and speechless, their mouths agape, frozen in place, afraid to move lest they attract the man's attention.
My God, is this scene real? To kill a Quasi-Immortal Emperor with a flick of the finger, how terrifying! This person can actually kill a Quasi-Immortal Emperor in one move, he must be much more powerful than the City Lord.
But this person isn't very old, looking to be only around twenty years old. How could he have such powerful cultivation? Could he be some kind of reincarnation of a Great Immortal?
Even the girl in purple standing to the side was shocked. She knew that Young Master Gu was powerful, but she didn't know just how powerful he was. Today, she was truly amazed and speechless.
Even Gu Changqing's disciples had never seen their master display his skills before. They were completely stunned when they saw it today. They never imagined that their master was so powerful.
The group of assassins fell into deep thought. They couldn't understand what was going on. How could this young man have such great power?
A moment later, realizing something was wrong, the assassins gasped in shock. The city lord was dead, and they knew their place. They didn't want to get involved in this mess. Not only would they not be able to avenge the city lord, but they would also lose their own lives. It wasn't worth it. Thinking this, they turned around quietly without saying a word and prepared to escape.
Even the city lord was no match for them, let alone these assassins whose cultivation was even lower than the city lord's. The city lord was at least a quasi-immortal emperor, while they were only at the fifth level of the Great Emperor. If they were to fight head-on, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock, or trying to stop a chariot with their own arm. They were overestimating their own strength.
"Want to leave? Did you get my permission?" Gu Changqing sneered and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the assassins were startled and sensed something was wrong. They were so frightened that they lost their minds and were completely at a loss. For a moment, they didn't know what to do, but their bodies instinctively knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"This... Young master, sir, we are just insignificant people, and we haven't even laid a hand on you. Please, sir, spare us."
"Yes, yes, everything we did was under orders, and we had no choice but to do it. Fortunately, none of us offended the big boss. Lord Min is magnanimous and showed mercy..."
“Young Master Gu, they are all the city lord’s henchmen. They have done a lot of harmful things in the past. If we just let them go, it would be too easy on them. If we let a tiger return to the mountain, it will surely cause chaos in the future,” Ziyi said in detail.
"No, no, we'll go our separate ways and never contact each other again."
"Yes, we've had enough of this kind of fighting and killing over the years, but we just haven't had the chance to get rid of it."
In order to survive, the assassins immediately expressed their willingness and said it sincerely.
"Don't worry, Miss Purple, I never said I would let them go," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"Boss, spare us! We don't want to die! Please spare us this time! We promise to be good people in the future!" The assassins kowtowed several more times, weeping and begging for mercy.
Gu Changqing said coldly, "Fine, since you are so sincere, I am willing to give you a chance. I will allow you to run 100 meters first, and the rest, whether you live or die, is entirely up to you."
"What?!" The assassins were terrified. This was no chance at all; it was torture in every possible way. He had no intention of letting them go.
Regardless, they decided to take a gamble and immediately got up and ran outside, faster than a rocket.
Before they could run a hundred meters away, Gu Changqing produced the Wind-Seeing Sorrowful Cloud Fan in his hand and swung it towards them.
Suddenly a strong wind arose, the wind and clouds changed, the sand and sand roared, and the sand and stones flew everywhere. Trees, rocks and even houses were blown away, which was very frightening.
These assassins were like ants, utterly vulnerable. They were all sent flying far away, crashing through countless city walls, until they were stopped by a large mountain.
Gu Changqing sensed their presence and went to investigate. All of them were covered in wounds, seriously injured, and vomiting blood.
Gu Changqing said to Jiang Qingcheng and the others, "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
Leaving these words behind, Gu Changqing vanished in a flash, appearing before the assassins in less than a breath.
