"Oh, really? In that case, I can't refuse any longer. I'll reluctantly help you this time. But let me make this clear: after it's done, you must remember to keep your promise. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you." Gu Changqing replied very frankly.
"Of course, I will certainly not go back on my word. As long as you are willing to help me and save me from this misery, I will definitely repay your kindness," the man in black said earnestly.
“Alright, that’s straightforward. I’ll help you deal with him right away. But I still have a question in my mind. I see that you two are wearing the same clothes, so you should be on the same side. Why did you fight so fiercely, even to the point of trying to decide who will die? What is the reason behind this?” Gu Changqing asked bluntly.
Gu Changqing was puzzled and curious as to why the two men in black had become enemies. Since he had decided to meddle, he was determined to find out the reason and did not want to act in a muddled manner.
The man in black rolled his eyes and said, "We were originally fellow disciples and had a very good relationship, but everything started to change after he took a liking to my sister."
"You've been so good to him, why did he change?" Jiang Qingcheng asked curiously.
“Originally, I planned to do him a favor and marry my sister to him. I went to great lengths to create opportunities for the two of them to spend more time together and develop their relationship. However, my sister just didn’t like him and didn’t want to see him anymore. I couldn’t force her, so I had to give up. After all, a forced relationship is never happy. Even if the two of them were together, they wouldn’t be happy. It’s not a long-term solution,” the man in black explained.
"I never expected that you would do so much for your brother, but he didn't appreciate it. In the end, you're caught in the middle and got yourself into trouble. Hahaha..." Gu Changqing laughed with a look of amusement.
"Who can argue with that? I truly regret it. Just because I politely declined him on behalf of my sister, he held a grudge against me, believing that I had sabotaged his marriage and that he wanted to kill me during this outing," the man in black said remorsefully.
"I understand. According to you, your brother is utterly heartless and worse than a dog. I, Gu, will definitely help you," Gu Changqing said directly.
Just then, the man in black revealed a smug look and gave a sinister smile.
What Gu Changqing didn't know was that this was just a ruse by the man in black.
Just as Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng arrived, they were noticed by the two men in black.
The two men in black had come here specifically to search for treasure and had been here for several days, but they still hadn't found any treasure and had come up empty-handed.
The two men in black saw that Gu Changqing was dressed in extraordinary clothes, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman and a mount whose name they did not know. They could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person, and they immediately harbored evil intentions.
"If what we can see with our own eyes is so tempting, then we can only imagine what's hidden in the parts we can't see. He must have even more treasures on him," the first man in black said greedily.
“Yes, he must have countless treasures on him. This place is deserted, making it the perfect opportunity to strike. He hasn’t left yet. If the two of us join forces to kill him quickly, we can split the treasures equally. Once we miss this opportunity, we won’t have another chance,” another man in black said maliciously.
“Okay, let’s do it this way, but what if the two of us can’t beat him?” the first man in black asked anxiously.
"Don't rush, let me test this person's cultivation level," the other man said calmly.
After saying that, he had a thought and scanned the area with his divine sense. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said calmly, "I can't sense any cultivation level of that man and woman and their mount. Either their cultivation level is too low, or they are hiding their cultivation level, or their cultivation level is too high for me to sense. I think the former is more likely. It must be because their cultivation level is too low and they are afraid of being bullied if others find out, so they are hiding their cultivation level."
"What if it's the latter? What if we end up losing our lives instead of winning?" the first man said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? There are risks in everything. You can't catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den. If you're all as timid and hesitant as you, you might as well go home. You're really useless," another man in black said angrily.
"Besides, you're already at the Saint level, higher than me. Can't you be a little more assertive? I'm at the peak of Quasi-Saint, after all. Do you think the two of us can't defeat the two of them together?" the man in black continued.
"Alright then, I'll do as you say." The first man in black pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.
"Okay, then I'll pretend to be defeated by you, then ask him for help. Once he agrees to help me, I'll take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack him from behind..."
The two hit it off immediately and devised a plan tailored to Gu Changqing. They had a clear division of labor and the plan was flawless.
That's how the scene described above came about.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, are you two done yet? Haven't you said enough? What are you talking about? We're fighting here, what's it to you? If you know what's good for you, get lost, or I'll beat you all up too," the black-clad man, who was at the Saint level, said with displeasure.
“Originally, it was none of my business, but now it’s different. This man promised me that if I kill you, he will marry his sister to me. Do you think I should interfere?” Gu Changqing said with a playful tone, resting his chin on his hand.
"Fine, very well, then don't blame me for making you kill them all together," the man in black said angrily.
Without further ado, he conjured a long, sharp sword in his hand, and his aura suddenly shifted, becoming incredibly powerful and formidable. With lightning speed, he swiftly moved towards Gu Changqing.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing smiled slightly, stood still, and let the long sword come toward him.
"boom!"
This immediately triggered a terrifying explosion, and the horrifying shockwaves, like planetary rings, relentlessly impacted everything around it!
The long sword pierced Gu Changqing's chest, and something unexpected happened to the man in black.
He clearly felt as if his blade had struck an exceptionally hard diamond. His broadsword was snapped in two by the opponent's body, falling to the ground with a loud "crack." But that wasn't all. Suddenly, he was thrown several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as if it were free, and remaining speechless for a long time due to the pain.
