"Since the soft approach isn't working, brother-in-law, let's fight the old man head-on," Jiang Chen immediately suggested upon seeing the situation.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. That’s exactly what I was thinking too.” Gu Changqing smiled and readily agreed.
He had long disliked this old guy; how dare he offend Gu Changqing's people? He was asking for death.
"Old man, you'd better release Rongrong now, or you'll regret it. You won't even have a chance to beg for mercy," Jiang Chen asked again, hoping the richest man would release her.
"Heh, you're nothing but a defeated opponent. What right do you have to say such things?" The richest man said dismissively.
"I may not be able to beat you, but so what? As long as someone can beat you, that's fine." Jiang Chen wasn't angry at all; instead, he said with a grin.
"Hehe, your brother-in-law is only about the same age as you. I believe he might be a little more capable than you, but I don't believe he can defeat my bodyguard." The richest man smiled dismissively upon hearing this.
Immediately, he clapped his hands, and a group of bodyguards dressed in red appeared, including the man who had defeated Jiang Chen. It seemed that the man was the leader of the group of bodyguards.
"Hehe, believe it or not, you'll see soon enough." Jiang Chen smiled faintly, too lazy to explain or argue with him.
Gu Changqing sensed their presence and found that the group of bodyguards were only at the third level of the Immortal King realm. One of them was slightly more powerful, at the peak of the Immortal King realm, but in Gu Changqing's eyes, they were not worth mentioning at all.
"Take care of them all." The richest man spoke first, his expression stern and sinister.
"Yes..." the bodyguards said in unison.
After they finished speaking, a gleaming silver longsword appeared in their hands. Although it was unclear what it was made of, it was obviously very sharp. Even just a wisp of its aura was enough to make people feel extremely frightened and terrified.
Boom!!!
A terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted and raged forth. The vast and terrifying aura seemed to have existed since ancient times, filled with overwhelming killing intent. It roared and surged, and the void could not withstand this terrifying fluctuation. It cracked layer by layer as if a mirror had shattered, which was extremely terrifying.
The bodyguards raised their longswords and swiftly thrust them towards Gu Changqing and his group.
In an instant, countless air currents exploded around them, and a terrifying shockwave, like a category 10 typhoon, gathered in the palm of his hand, the dreadful wind and waves making people tremble with fear.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing sneered repeatedly, remaining completely calm and standing there motionless, letting them come toward him.
Instantly, blades flashed everywhere, and several loud "bangs" resounded, echoing through the sky.
To the bodyguards' astonishment, their treasured sword, which had served them for many years, broke into pieces, turning into a pile of scrap metal that clattered to the ground. And that wasn't all; they were all thrown back like springs, thankfully without any real danger to their lives.
In contrast, Gu Changqing stood there unharmed, as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on his face.
My God, how is this possible? This is impossible!
They were all shocked, staring at Gu Changqing in astonishment, as if they had seen some kind of monstrous flood.
My God, what kind of strange cultivation technique does this person practice? His body is billions of times stronger than steel and iron. It's terrifying! My God, am I dreaming?
When they struck each other, they felt as if they had struck an ancient meteorite, unable to make a move. Instead, their own swords shattered into pieces and exploded.
They felt a wave of despair. They couldn't believe that so many of them hadn't even managed to sway the other person's heart. It was unbelievable and deeply hurtful.
Everyone present was shocked and stunned. They couldn't believe that so many bodyguards couldn't even budge a hair on the man's head. It was simply unbelievable.
"What a waste! So many people and you still can't beat one person! Stop protecting me, go and kill him! I refuse to believe he can beat you!" the richest man said angrily. The person he was referring to was the leader's personal bodyguard, who was much stronger than the group of bodyguards from before.
"Yes." The bodyguard in red said expressionlessly, like a walking corpse.
Immediately, the red-clad bodyguard drew a sword and, without a word, viciously thrust it towards Gu Changqing. In an instant, boundless pressure swept across the entire land, causing space to warp and time to shatter—a truly terrifying sight.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing did not hesitate and slapped him across the face.
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided violently, instantly unleashing a deafening explosion that sent sparks flying, shook the earth, and was utterly terrifying.
With a "crack," a sword and a red shadow were sent flying backward by inertia, crashing to the ground with a "bang."
The ground was instantly smashed into a huge crater shaped like a human, and the red-clad bodyguard lay inside on his back, resembling the Chinese character "大" (big), as if a coffin was specially made for him.
At this moment, the red-clad bodyguard lay half-dead in the pit, his face pale and his whole body in excruciating pain, as if his body had been reassembled. He grimaced in pain.
He thought to himself: What kind of monster is this? Even I, a peak Immortal King, am no match for it. This is truly shocking and terrifying.
The richest man watching from the sidelines, along with the beautiful women who had just been dancing, were all utterly shocked by what they saw. They stared in disbelief, as if possessed, and trembled with fear, hiding in a corner, completely at a loss.
Now, the richest man couldn't sit still any longer and was extremely flustered. He never expected that all the bodyguards he had hired would be no match for that person, unable to withstand even one move. They were truly useless.
The richest man didn't realize that it wasn't that they were useless, but that their opponents were too powerful. Even if a group of immortal emperors were here, the result would still be the same.
Not only were the richest man and his group shocked, but Jiang Chen was also stunned by the scene. He had only known that his brother-in-law was powerful, but he didn't know just how powerful. Otherwise, seeing it with his own eyes today, he simply couldn't believe his eyes. My God, has his brother-in-law become this powerful? It's really too unexpected. If the sect leader knew, he wondered what kind of expression he would have. It seems that rescuing Rongrong is just around the corner. With his brother-in-law around, he no longer has to worry.
Only Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng were not surprised by this scene. In their eyes, it was just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
