Mei Niang sneered and said disdainfully, "You have quite the nerve. Are you so confident you can kill me?"
"I can't kill you, but he can. I just need to watch from the sidelines," the man in green said smugly, pointing to the old man in black robes beside him.
"Hehehe, I see your face is dark and your eyes are lifeless. You are doomed today and will surely die." Gu Changqing said with a playful smile, resting his chin on his hand.
"You brat, how dare you curse me! I haven't even done anything to you yet, and you still dare to chatter on and on. It's outrageous! You've ruined my plans. Since you two are so inseparable, I don't mind sending you both on your way," the man in green said angrily.
He was quite displeased to see the two of them chatting and laughing, looking very happy.
"Go, kill them all. Kill the women first, then the men," the man in green said indignantly.
He couldn't stand the couple showing affection in front of him for even a second longer.
"No, we agreed that I would only kill one person, but now there's one more. So the price has to be recalculated, or I won't do it." The old man in black robes said bluntly.
If you want him to kill one more person, you have to pay the price for one more person; otherwise, don't even think about it. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Besides, who said they didn't want too much money!
The man in green gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "Okay, fine, as long as you can kill them both, the price is negotiable."
"No, we must agree on this now. I want three times the price, otherwise I won't kill him and you'll have to find someone else," the black-robed elder said firmly.
If we don't negotiate a good price now, things might get complicated later.
"You, you, you're asking for way too much! You're ripping people off! You're ripping them off!" the man in green said, somewhat exasperated.
He never expected that the old man would actually try to raise the price on the spot; it was outrageous.
"Give me a straight answer, or I'm leaving," the old man in black robes said directly.
He was no saint; countless people had died at his hands in his lifetime, and his hands were covered in blood.
There's a reason why he's asking for such a high price this time. He's tired of this life of fighting and killing, and he plans to retire from this life after this one, enjoy life, and have a few peaceful days.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say, are you satisfied now?" the man in green replied somewhat impatiently.
"That's more like it," the old man said with satisfaction.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you done talking? Are you going to kill them or not? If not, don't delay my meal." Gu Changqing urged impatiently.
"See that? This brat's practically begging to die. Let's finish him off now," the man in green said arrogantly, laughing mockingly.
“Alright,” the old man in black robes readily agreed.
After he finished speaking, a divine sword immediately appeared in the old man's hand. It was gleaming with golden light, and even a wisp of its aura was enough to make people feel that it was extremely sharp. It was clear at a glance that it was incredibly sharp. It was carved with lifelike ancient ferocious beasts with serrated teeth and fangs, which were vivid and terrifying.
Without saying a word, he drew a sword with a "whoosh," the sword flashing and its intent shimmering, incredibly sharp, and swiftly flew towards Gu Changqing with lightning speed.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing smiled faintly, letting the sword pierce towards him without offering any resistance, as if he hadn't even seen it.
This made Mei Niang, who was standing to the side, extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. She wanted to stop him, but Gu Changqing blocked her with his large hand. She was very helpless and had no choice but to retreat behind Gu Changqing.
At that moment, Meiniang's parents also heard the commotion and quickly came out to see what was going on.
The man in green was overjoyed at the sight, thinking to himself: "Is this brat scared out of his wits? He doesn't even know how to fight back. He still wants to play the hero and save the beauty. He's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He's overestimating himself and deserves it!"
The next moment, however, something that shocked him to the core happened.
"Boom!"
When the black-robed old man's sword struck Gu Changqing, it was as if he had struck an exceptionally solid diamond. Not only could it not cut through him, but it also slashed his treasured sword, which he had carried for many years, leaving sharp cuts and sparks flying everywhere, like fireworks.
At the same time, the old man in black robes, along with his sword, seemed to be possessed, and involuntarily flew hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily to the ground. He uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling excruciating pain in his body.
The old man in black robes was startled. My God, is this person indestructible? He can't be cut down. Or does he have some kind of treasure on his body that makes him so fearless?
He'd lived his whole life and never encountered anything this strange before!
"Holy crap, how come this brat is still alive? Am I seeing things? How is this possible?" The man in green stared blankly at the absurd scene before him.
Meanwhile, Meiniang's parents were shocked to see this scene. My God, who is this Young Master Gu? How can he be so powerful? It's blinding! This is terrifying! It's too scary!
"Wow, young master, you're amazing! I was wondering why you didn't let Meiniang do it; you were so confident!" Meiniang said happily.
She had just been worried about the young master's safety, but it turned out she had been overthinking it and worrying unnecessarily. The young master was so powerful just by standing there and doing nothing. It was terrifying and unbelievable.
"This is nothing. I'll show you my true power later," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, full of confidence.
"You brat, why are you standing there motionless? What kind of shady magic did you use?" the man in green asked unwillingly.
"Do you expect me to tell you what I used? You're incredibly stupid!" Gu Changqing laughed instead of getting angry, and didn't forget to mock the other party at the same time.
Seeing the green-clad man's furious and frantic face, Gu Changqing felt incredibly relieved.
"Don't be too smug. I was just testing the waters and warming up. I was careless and didn't show my true strength." The old man in black robes stood up and said unwillingly and unconvinced.
"Hehe, stop making excuses for yourself. I don't think you can beat the young master at all." Meiniang said bluntly.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare, or I'll kill you!" The old man in black robes was hit where it hurt and angrily cursed.
