Unfortunately, this time they encountered no ordinary person, no one they could bully, but a top-notch expert, a first-rate powerhouse.
They followed Gu Changqing and his group stealthily, waiting for an opportunity to snatch the treasure from Jiang Chen.
As Gu Changqing and his companions moved through the bustling streets, they did not notice anyone following them until they entered a secluded place. It was then that they realized something was amiss. Gu Changqing was undoubtedly the first to notice something was wrong. He sneered and did not alert the enemy, acting as usual.
"Qingcheng, Jiang Chen, someone is following us. Don't make a sound. Let's observe and see why they're following us," Gu Changqing said calmly.
After thinking about it, he decided to tell the two of them about it so that they could be prepared.
"Who are these people? How dare they follow us? They're so arrogant and ignorant of their own mortality! Brother-in-law, let me go and teach them a lesson!" Jiang Chen couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to go and fight those people.
"Jiang Chen, why are you in such a hurry? Haste makes waste. Since we're here, let's make the best of it and see what he's up to first. It's them, not us, who should be anxious." Jiang Qingcheng smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, not worried at all.
"Alright, then we'll listen to you. If they dare to have any bad intentions, I, Jiang Chen, will be the first to not let them off the hook," Jiang Chen said with a righteous and indignant expression.
He speaks and acts with great arrogance now, not taking those people seriously at all. He knew he was now a powerful figure at the Immortal Emperor level, and since he upgraded to Immortal Emperor, he hadn't fought anyone. Now he was itching to have a match with those people and test the power of an Immortal Emperor.
The men in black who were following them felt that the time was ripe and prepared to make their move, unable to restrain themselves from stopping Gu Changqing and his two companions.
"Stop!" the leader of the men in black suddenly shouted from behind.
Gu Changqing and the others seemed not to hear them and continued walking forward.
The leader of the men in black, feeling humiliated that they hadn't taken his words seriously, frowned and said angrily, "Hey, I'm talking to the three of you, didn't you hear me? Stop right there!"
"Are you talking about me?" Jiang Chen turned his head and said calmly.
"Nonsense, is there anyone else here besides the three of you?" the leader of the men in black said matter-of-factly and confidently.
"Fellow Daoist, what business do you have with me, Jiang Chen?" Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Can't you tell we're going to rob you? But we're only after your money, not your virtue. You can all leave, but you'll have to leave behind the treasures that were just auctioned," the leader of the men in black said seriously.
"Oh, I wonder where this fellow Daoist gets his confidence from. Does he think we'll listen to you?" Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile and a calm expression.
"I am a peak Great Emperor Realm expert. How about that? Am I powerful? Are you scared? Then quickly hand over all the treasures you won at the auction, and we will spare your life." The chief man in black said confidently with a smug look on his face.
Jiang Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh when she heard this person's words, as if she had heard a very funny joke. She calmly said, "Husband, it turns out they had their eyes on us all along and had their eyes on the treasures on Jiang Chen. We were really slow to realize it until now."
"So what if you're at the peak of the Great Emperor realm? Do you think we'll be afraid? If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Maybe we'll spare your lives. If you insist on disobeying, don't blame us for being ruthless." Jiang Qingcheng's tone changed abruptly, and she said with a warning look on her face.
The leader of the men in black turned pale upon hearing this and said angrily, "Heh heh heh, you young girl, you look down on people like this. May I ask if your cultivation is higher than mine? You still have the nerve to laugh at me? Who do you think you are? Believe me or not, I can kill you with a single punch."
"Heh, is that so? Who the hell do you think you are? Try touching a hair on my sister's head and I'll tear you to pieces!" Jiang Chen sneered, showing no hesitation in protecting his sister and making threats.
"Exactly, do you think we're afraid of you just because there are five of you and only three of us? I am a little scared. I'm afraid you won't be able to kill me. What will happen then? Wouldn't you lose face?" Jiang Qingcheng said with a cold smile and an indifferent expression.
"Heh, enough nonsense, stop rambling. Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After saying that, the man in black didn't say another word. A large knife appeared in his hand, and he drew a precious sword with an extremely sharp blade. He quickly headed towards Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingcheng.
Instantly, a powerful aura of a Great Emperor Realm expert swept across the surroundings, terrifying and overwhelming. The vast and terrifying aura seemed to have existed since ancient times, filled with boundless killing intent, roaring and surging.
Under this terrifying fluctuation, the void could not withstand it and cracked layer by layer as if a mirror were shattering, which was extremely frightening.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing ran to Jiang Qingcheng's side like lightning, immediately shielding her behind him and standing in front of her, remaining motionless and protecting her firmly.
"Wow, my husband, you're so cool and handsome!" Qingcheng smiled gently and praised him generously, feeling incredibly happy inside, even sweeter than if she had eaten candy.
This gesture deeply moved Jiang Qingcheng, and her love for Gu Changqing deepened. She felt that she hadn't chosen the wrong person; he was someone who could give her a strong sense of security.
On the other side, Jiang Chen secretly complained to himself that his brother-in-law had let him down at the crucial moment. How could he forget about him? He only knew how to protect his sister and completely forgot about his younger brother. But it was fine, anyway, he was strong now and didn't need his brother-in-law's protection anymore. He could handle it on his own.
While lost in thought, Jiang Chen forgot to resist, and the large knife struck him squarely.
A loud "bang" was heard, and a scene that shocked the men in black unfolded.
The black-clad leader's broadsword was instantly shattered by the blast and blown away by the wind. He was also thrown several meters away, crashing to the ground with a thud, creating a large, human-shaped crater. He screamed in pain.
Holy crap, how is this person so powerful? I clearly can't sense his cultivation level. How is this possible? Could it be... could it be that he's hiding his cultivation level, which is why I can't sense it?
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, stood there straight as a diamond, unharmed in the slightest.
The group of men in black all looked on in disbelief, their hearts pounding like a thousand horses, filled with regret.
