At this moment, the old man with the green snake glared angrily, standing tall and imposing in front of Gu Changqing like a giant, making Gu Changqing appear very small. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the young master was the one being bullied.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing remained completely calm, a half-smile playing on his lips. He stood there motionless, not even blinking, as if he were dealing with a tiny ant, not worth bothering with.
Gu Changqing's behavior only fueled the old man's rage.
Damn it, I've already rushed up to you, and you're still acting all nonchalant, like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. Do you look down on me, or do you think I don't exist?
Without hesitation, he punched Gu Changqing hard in the chest.
With a single punch, the air exploded, and a terrifying shockwave, like a tornado, gathered between his palms and fingers. The dreadful wind and waves were chilling, and they slammed fiercely towards Gu Changqing.
After unleashing that punch, the old man with the green snake sat and waited to see the brat's miserable state.
But the next moment, something shocking happened.
When his fist struck Gu Changqing, it was like fluffing cotton, as if he hadn't exerted any force. Gu Changqing's chest felt like an impenetrable wall, without the slightest pain or dent, and he was completely unharmed.
The old man with the green snake couldn't even hurt a hair on their head. It was utterly shameful, a complete disgrace.
On the contrary, the old man with the green snake was immediately thrown hundreds of meters away by Gu Changqing's copper wall and iron barrier, and crashed heavily into the wall. He felt extremely painful, as if his bones were about to break. The pain was excruciating, but he endured it and did not cry out. However, the pained expression on his face betrayed him.
Actually, his injury was relatively minor. With the blessing of a fifth-level Immortal Emperor, he didn't suffer much damage. If it were someone with lower strength, that fist and his entire arm would probably be ruined, turning into a pile of blood mist.
The old man with the green snake looked on in disbelief and astonishment, unable to believe what he was seeing.
My God, what's going on? I, a dignified fifth-level Immortal Emperor, can't even move a young man? I doubt anyone would believe this. They'd think I'm talking nonsense, or even bragging, that I don't have such a high level of cultivation. If I were a fifth-level Immortal Emperor, how could I not even budge an inch from someone?
The old man with the green snake fell into deep thought.
Gu Changqing acted as if nothing had happened, with an indifferent expression, as if he wasn't the one who had just been beaten, and didn't care at all.
"See? I told you so. You couldn't even scratch a hair on my head. You call yourself a fifth-level Immortal Emperor? Is that all the strength you have? You're incredibly weak. You've really disappointed me." Gu Changqing stroked his chin, a half-smile on his face, his eyes filled with disdain.
"How could someone like you, with no cultivation, possibly withstand my punch without being hurt? When my fist hit you just now, it felt like hitting a diamond, incredibly hard. You must be wearing some kind of indestructible armor or some kind of divine elixir. Otherwise, with my cultivation, smashing your chest would be effortless," the Green Snake said thoughtfully.
Aside from these two reasons, he simply couldn't understand why the young man was completely unharmed.
Damn it, what a terrible day! I never expected to be ambushed by this brat. I've lost all face and dignity. This is definitely the only stain on my life. But luckily, there's no one else here besides this young man, so they won't talk about what happened today. As long as I kill this young man, no one will know about his shameful deeds.
"Hehe, say whatever you want. The process isn't important; the most important thing is the result. And the result is that I, Gu, won, and you lost. There's nothing more to say," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"What kind of skill is it to win by underhanded means? If you're so capable, have a fair and square fight, and you're definitely no match for me," the old man with the green snake said indignantly, his anger rising with embarrassment.
He desperately wanted to win back the face he had just lost.
"Why should I, Gu, compete with you? There's no need. Didn't we already decide the winner? Why are you still not convinced?" Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said naturally.
"Of course I'm not convinced! I'm a fifth-level Immortal Emperor, how could I be defeated by an unknown nobody like you? It's utterly ridiculous, laughable! No one would believe it if I told them. But you've ruined my reputation. If I can't redeem myself, people will laugh at me to death. I absolutely won't allow that to happen. So I must defeat you to save face," the old man with the green snake said without any hesitation.
"Hahaha, so you're just a vain old monster. I'm speechless. What's the value of face? Can it feed you or improve your cultivation? What a hypocrite." Gu Changqing laughed loudly, speaking with utter disdain.
"Boy, you're asking for death! Today I'm going to kill you! You're too arrogant! If you don't die, I'll feel restless all over!" The old man with the green snake was furious and said excitedly.
After speaking, the old man with the green snake had a thought, and a long spear immediately appeared in his hand. With a swing of his arm, a terrifying killing intent erupted and raged out. The vast and terrifying aura was like that of ancient times, filled with overwhelming killing intent, howling and surging.
Under this terrifying fluctuation, the void almost couldn't withstand it, cracking layer by layer as if a mirror were shattering, which was extremely frightening. He moved with lightning speed and stabbed fiercely towards Gu Changqing.
"You've come at the perfect time. I just acquired a divine artifact, the Ancient Soft and Hard Staff, and I was worried about where to use it. Now I finally have the chance. Let me show you the power of my staff." Gu Changqing sneered and said in a deep voice.
In an instant, an ancient staff of both strength and flexibility appeared in Gu Changqing's hand. With a gentle swing of his arm, a terrifying killing intent erupted and swiftly moved towards the old man with the green snake.
Under this terrifying fluctuation, everything around became extremely frightening. A terrifying pressure swept over, like a dark cloud covering the sky, making it hard for people to breathe.
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided violently, causing blades to fly everywhere, the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, time and space to be obliterated, and a terrifying rift, like a crack in the universe, to open, which was extremely terrifying.
But the next moment, something shocking happened.
