Although they were no match for that young man, they could run away if they couldn't win. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away was the best. They all agreed that this was the most important thing for survival. As long as they could save their lives, no method was too much.
Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed, and their faces all showed happy expressions. They felt that they were now very safe and that no one could threaten their lives anymore.
Little did they know!!!
The shocking scene is about to unfold once again.
"Fellow Daoists, I, Gu, have arrived." A voice rang out from not far away.
Upon hearing this, they immediately felt as if they had heard the voice somewhere before.
Following the sound, they saw a figure in the distance, a pure white figure standing just a few hundred meters in front of them.
They were slightly startled, feeling that the person's figure and voice were somewhat familiar, somewhat like that young man, but they were not sure if it was him.
They immediately rubbed their eyes and looked closely. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, their pupils dilated, their eyes filled with panic, disbelief, and shock.
The person they saw was none other than the young man who had just killed their leader.
They were all stunned, filled with doubt, wondering how this person had caught up with them; it was simply unbelievable.
It's not hard to guess that this person not only broke through the barrier but also caught up with them. But how did he manage to do it? That barrier was extremely powerful; even their leader couldn't break it. How did this person manage to break it?
Without a word, they fled in the opposite direction. What else could they do but run away? Suppressing their panic and fear, they flew forward as fast as they could.
But how could Gu Changqing let them off so easily?
He sneered and quickly flew over, streaking past like a rocket.
The powerful hurricane made them all shiver, their scalps tingle, and their heads throb.
They were shocked and looked up to see that the young man had caught up with them.
“Senior, we have not caused you any trouble, so why are you holding a grudge against us?” one of them said, feeling very aggrieved.
They were inwardly groaning; this was truly an inauspicious start to the day. The people they encountered were not only ruthless but also relentlessly targeting them.
Across from him, Gu Changqing stroked his chin and said with a faint smile, "I, Gu, have always been one to seek revenge. I will not let anyone who has offended me get away with it. In my eyes, you are all my enemies."
As he spoke, Gu Changqing looked at them with a forced smile, as if he were toying with a fool.
Actually, Gu Changqing had just deliberately played a cat-and-mouse game with them. He first gave them time to fly away, then made them happy, making them mistakenly believe that they had escaped danger. Finally, when they fell for it, he caught up with them, shattering their joy. At this moment, they were like mice, completely at Gu Changqing's mercy, which was quite amusing.
Seeing their horrified expressions, Gu Changqing was very satisfied, a hint of amusement in his eyes. They were such fools, being played like monkeys by him; it was simply hilarious.
Upon hearing this, they were all startled, realizing something was wrong. They trembled with fear, wondering how they could escape this calamity.
"Senior, you're exaggerating. We have no grudge against you whatsoever. These trivial matters are not worth your time. Please forgive us, we don't need to offend you any further." Another person pleaded tactfully.
"Hehe, you make it sound very nice, but you have no sincerity at all in wanting me to let you go. Even if I wanted to, it would be difficult for me to let you go!" Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Senior, we are willing to each give you ten thousand top-grade spirit stones. We hope you will be lenient." Another person jumped out and said.
"Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones? Heh heh, are you trying to fob me off like this? Do you think I need your pittance? Is your life really only worth this little bit of top-grade spirit stones? It's unbelievable. Alright, I've had my fill. You're nothing but trash in my eyes. It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's just that you've disappointed me too much. Alright, that's enough. I've had my fun, and you're of no use to me anymore. It's time to go."
With his hands behind his back, Gu Changqing spoke coldly and calmly, as if looking at insignificant ants.
Upon hearing this, their hearts pounded, and they immediately knelt on the ground, humbly begging for mercy: "Senior, have you misunderstood something? We are just lowly subordinates, and we have no say in anything. We beg you to understand."
"Misunderstanding? I don't think there's any misunderstanding here. Just now, which one of you didn't want me dead? It's just that your wishes weren't granted. Now you're saying it's a misunderstanding? Do you think I'll believe that?" Gu Changqing stroked his chin, somewhat speechless.
They quickly put on a smiling face and explained, "How could that be? We have never thought of it that way. Senior, you are overthinking it. It's all a misunderstanding."
"Heh, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. You're still as stubborn as a cooked duck. I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you." Gu Changqing sneered and said in a deep voice.
Without further ado, Gu Changqing waved his hand, and a blazing volcano appeared in his palm, ready to end their days.
Seeing that this person was unwilling to let them go, they turned pale and were terrified.
"It seems that things cannot be resolved peacefully today. Everyone knows what the consequences of provoking this person are. Rather than sitting and waiting to die, we might as well fight with all our might and leave no regrets. Let's not hold back and take down this person with all our might!"
"Yes, otherwise none of us will be able to leave today!"
Agreed!
"Can!"
They spoke in unison, finished exchanging their words in an instant, and then roared as they drew their weapons and attacked Gu Changqing!
"Heh, good thing you've come, you've come to your death!"
Looking at the aggressive momentum coming from the opposite side, Gu Changqing was not angry but happy. Even if they outnumbered each other, it was useless; they were still doomed.
Without hesitation, Gu Changqing magnified the active volcano tens of thousands of times and sent it crashing down on them.
Upon seeing this, they immediately cowered, their hearts pounding. Their original plan was rendered meaningless. Without a word, they turned around and fled in all directions.
The reason they changed their minds at the last minute was simple: they were afraid of dying. Moreover, this active volcano was incredibly powerful; anyone touched by it would have no chance of survival. Even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for it and couldn't budge it in the slightest.
