Where the sword light reaches!

Directly covering the black-robed old man!

At the moment when Gu Changqing drew his sword, the black-robed old man sensed something was amiss.

But the sword came too fast, so fast that the black-robed old man didn't even have time to escape!

The pure white sword light dissipated, and the space slightly distorted. The figure of the black-robed old man had completely disappeared from this world, leaving no trace behind.

With one sword, everyone on Ocean Moon Island fell silent.

Their minds were shaken!

Half-step King Realm perfection, and yet... dead?

That was... half-step King Realm perfection, just one step away from the King Realm.

Not some insignificant person...

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Gu Changqing was filled with awe.

"Before, there was none, but now, there is."

Gu Changqing calmly looked at the spot where the black-robed old man had stood before.

Regret?

Gu Changqing believed that the black-robed old man must have regretted before he died.

Regret for being so careless, and regret for obstructing Gu Changqing from leaving...

If, if he had let Gu Changqing go at that time, would he not have died?

"He is not in the King Realm?"

Yin Taishang's heart was also not calm.

He had always thought that Gu Changqing was a King Realm powerhouse, but when Gu Changqing made his move just now, his aura clearly indicated only the early stage of Tribulation!

But the shock in Yin Taishang's heart did not diminish because of this, instead, it grew stronger.

If Gu Changqing was in the King Realm, Yin Taishang wouldn't be so shocked.

To kill a half-step King Realm with the King Realm, even if it was only half-step perfection, would be effortless.

But... Gu Changqing was not in the King Realm, but in the early stage of Tribulation!

Early stage of Tribulation, killing half-step perfection? And with just one sword?

Yin Taishang felt that it was so unreal.

Below, Mo Family's young master, Mo Haobai, also opened his mouth wide. An inexplicable fear arose from the depths of his heart. His body even trembled uncontrollably.

Not long ago, he actually had the audacity to go and cause trouble for Gu Changqing?

To cause trouble for a King Realm powerhouse?

Did he think his life was too long?

Fortunately, his father scolded him in time...

Thinking back, Mo Haobai couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

If Mo Family had really sought revenge on Gu Changqing... the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Many people who had participated in the auction were naturally familiar with Gu Changqing.

The arrogant and domineering scene that Gu Changqing displayed at the auction house left a deep impression on them.

Threatening Mo Haobai on Ocean Moon Island, threatening Mo Family, one of the five half-step King Realm families!

At that time, they even thought that Gu Changqing would probably not be able to leave Ocean Moon Island alive. But now...

They seemed to understand why Gu Changqing dared to be so overbearing and arrogant at the auction.

To kill a half-step King Realm perfection with one sword, with such strength, how could he care about the five major families of Ocean Moon Island?

If this matter ended here, it would be fine.

But if Mo Family really dared to cause trouble for Gu Changqing later, then it seemed that it wouldn't be difficult for Gu Changqing to wipe out Mo Family as well.

Now everyone finally understood why Gu Changqing had announced that he would stay on Ocean Moon Island for two days, yet Mo Family had not made any moves.

Mo Family probably had already sensed something, it wasn't that they didn't take action, but that they didn't dare to take action.

I used to mock the cowardice of the Mo family, but now I realize that I am the truly foolish one.

"Run!"

After witnessing the black-robed old man being killed by Gu Changqing with a single sword strike, more than ten half-king level experts from the Moonless Profound Sect, including another white-robed old man who had reached the peak of the half-king level, were all stunned.

Their first reaction was not to join forces to kill Gu Changqing and avenge the black-robed old man, but to escape!

The more than ten half-king level experts immediately turned into streaks of light and dispersed.

This scene shocked the people on Ocean Moon Island below.

The previously arrogant black-clothed individuals who had threatened to blockade Ocean Moon Island and exterminate all living beings on the island had all fled?

But considering Gu Changqing's terrifying strength, it became clear.

Facing such a powerful expert, a King Realm level existence, not running would mean certain death.

But would Gu Changqing let them escape?

Killing one person or killing a group, it was better to eliminate any future troubles.

With a thought, the four spiritual swords forming the formation base shot out!

In just a moment, the more than ten half-king level experts were all slaughtered!

Only the white-robed old man at the peak of the half-king level remained, captured by Gu Changqing and struggling for mercy.

"Elder, spare me! I am an elder of the Moonless Profound Sect. I am willing to be your servant and only ask for my life to be spared."

Originally, Gu Changqing had planned to crush him to death, but his words made Gu Changqing hesitate.

Currently, within the Gu Family, he was the only King Realm expert. Jiang Lianxin was indeed a monstrous talent, but he was still some distance away from reaching the King Realm. Moreover, his cultivation had been delayed during his pregnancy.

If he were to leave, there would be no second King Realm expert guarding the Gu Family.

Although the white-robed old man was not a King Realm expert, he had reached the peak of the half-king level.

For Gu Changqing, it was not difficult to help a half-king level expert advance to the King Realm.

In the Alchemy Emperor Heart Sutra, there was an ancient Fourth Grade pill formula called the Three Elements Breaking Barrier Pill, which had a high probability of increasing the chances of breaking through to the King Realm.

And he had already refined three of these pills. Gu Changqing himself didn't need them at all, as with his talent, he didn't need any pills to increase the probability of breaking through to the King Realm.

But there were some people around him whose talents were not as high, such as his father and the two elders who had reached the peak of the Tribulation Ninth Layer. They could take the pills.

Gu Changqing had only refined three as backups, but now it seemed that he would have to use them in advance.

"I can spare you."

Gu Changqing threw out a black pill and said, "Take it, and I will spare your life."

The white-robed old man glanced at the black pill without any hesitation and swallowed it. At this moment, all he wanted was to stay alive.

If he hesitated for even a moment, it would incur Gu Changqing's displeasure, and he would undoubtedly die!

After taking the black pill, the white-robed old man felt as if his soul was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. As long as Gu Changqing had a thought, he would die instantly.

This pill was refined by Gu Changqing a few days ago and could control the soul of others. Its effect was just as the white-robed old man had expected. No matter where he was, if Gu Changqing wanted to kill him, it only took a thought!

"Are you feeling a bit unwilling?"

Gu Changqing looked at the white-robed old man and asked.

"I dare not!" The white-robed old man quickly knelt down.

"Good." Gu Changqing nodded and said, "Following me may not be a bad thing for you. With your talent, if you can't obtain great opportunities, you will never reach the King Realm in this lifetime. But by following me, the King Realm is just the beginning."

Gu Changqing wasn't deceiving or making empty promises. He truly had the ability.

The white-robed old man himself was already at the peak of the half-king level, just one step away from the true King Realm.

Of course, this so-called one step away had trapped countless half-step King Realm experts. Once they were stuck, it would be a lifetime.

At this moment, the white-robed old man's mood was complicated. He was sad to lose his freedom, but happy that he had a chance to break through to the King Realm in the future!

He firmly believed in Gu Changqing's words.

Gu Changqing's talent was evident. Even at the early stage of the Tribulation, he possessed the strength of a King Realm expert. What kind of potential was this?

Perhaps he was the legendary genius on the Divine List, nothing more.

For him, this was even an opportunity!

Such a figure, if he were to grow in the future, not to mention someone like him at the half-step King Realm, even many true King Realm experts would be eager to follow Gu Changqing.

Perhaps one day in the future, even if Gu Changqing begged him to leave, he might not be willing to leave.
