Chapter 2420: Boldly Struck Out

Tie Dan's killing intent surged like a tide, the threat from Tianxing Lao Ren weighed on him like Mount Tai pressing an egg.

In this Immortal Artifact Space, there is no doubt it is the best moment for him to act; he absolutely cannot afford the slightest hesitation or mistake.

However, when Tie Dan took the initiative to ask, Tianxing Lao Ren actually responded in a teasing tone.

"My son, which way do you say we go?"

Tie Dan cursed inwardly, yet on the surface he still answered, putting on an obedient appearance.

"I always listen to Dad."

"Good son, then we'll go right."

Tianxing Lao Ren nodded satisfied.

"Good."

Tie Dan replied respectfully, but his mind had already worked out a plan.

He secretly thought that this old guy had doubts about him before, and this time was likely no exception.

In that case, he might as well do the opposite; since the old guy said go right, he would deliberately go right to give the old guy a surprise.

Having decided, Tie Dan stepped without hesitation onto the right-side gold brick.

However, after he stood firmly, he discovered that nothing had happened.

In an instant, Tie Dan's face turned extremely gloomy, as if a bucket of ice water had been splashed on him.

Could it be that this old guy also went right?

Could it be that he has been schemed against again by him?

At that moment, he suddenly realized that the old thing and he were thinking alike again, and he was firmly under the old guy's control.

Meanwhile, in another space, Tianxing Lao Ren, seeing that step land and nothing happen, couldn't help but feel a cold smile rise in his heart.

"Hehe, you little bastard, with just that little ability, you still dare to dream of fighting me?"

Tianxing Lao Ren secretly mocked in his heart.

He knew Tie Dan's little thoughts like the back of his hand, after all he had lived so many years, experiencing more wind and rain than this kid has eaten meals.

In terms of playing tricks, even if three Tie Dans were tied together, they would absolutely not be his match.

However, for others, this First Gate is not difficult at all.

After all, people can communicate with each other; as long as they harbor no harmful intent and can trust each other, passing this gate naturally becomes easy.

Besides Tie Dan and Tianxing Lao Ren, this father-son pair who faced constant danger and mishaps along the way, everyone else passed smoothly through the narrow path paved with gold bricks.

Along the way, they encountered no major danger, and thus they passed this gate one after another.

As everyone passed the gold-brick narrow path smoothly, even Tianxing Lao Ren and Tie Dan arrived at the Second Huge Plaza, staggering and swaying.

For everyone, this gate was as easy as pie, completely deserving of being called easily passed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened, secretly rejoicing, having thought the difficulty of this Immortal Artifact Space would be very high, but unexpectedly it was so simple.

With such a little difficulty, it's hardly worth mentioning.

However, just as everyone was secretly rejoicing and slightly lowering their guard, suddenly a horrifying blade-light that made one's hair stand on end flashed like lightning.

This blade-light moved extremely fast, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, directly lunging at a figure ahead of the crowd.

The figure locked onto by this blade-light was none other than An Sheng Xin.

Faced with this sudden fierce blade-light, An Sheng Xin's reaction was quite swift; he almost sensed the danger the moment the blade-light attacked.

At the same time, his face darkened suddenly, and he shouted angrily.

"Surname Ye, you're courting death!"

It was obvious that An Sheng Xin had recognized the attacker as Ye Zhangqing, and moreover, among those present, it seemed only Ye Zhangqing dared to act against him, this generation's Yāoniè.

This sudden change was like a storm rising on a calm lake, leaving everyone present shocked and completely unprepared for such an event.

At that tranquil moment, Ye Zhangqing suddenly struck without warning, his vicious move coming like lightning.

Everyone was shocked, completely unprepared for this sudden change.

And An Sheng Xin, facing Ye Zhangqing, was likewise caught off guard, but as a Yāoniè of this generation, he instantly reacted, flicking his body aside to skillfully evade the deadly blow.

However, this was only the beginning; Ye Zhangqing clearly had no intention of stopping, his attacks came like a violent storm, giving An Sheng Xin no chance to breathe.

An Sheng Xin's face also turned grave; he fully understood Ye Zhangqing's ferocity, dared not be careless, and responded with all his strength to the fierce assault.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the field tensed to the extreme, as if a shocking, outrageous great battle were about to erupt.

The young disciples present, though each sect's elite, could not help but feel fear in the face of such fierce combat.

After all, the strengths of Ye Zhangqing and An Sheng Xin are evident to all; their showdown is certainly not something ordinary people can easily intervene in.

Thus, at first, more than half of the people unhesitatingly chose to retreat far away, fearing being caught up in this fierce battle.

They clearly knew that with their own strength, they could not possibly play any role in this battle, and might even lose their lives in vain.

Therefore, these people wisely chose to stay out of it, quietly watching this heart-pounding contest.

Moreover, some people flashed a hint of realization in their eyes, as if they had long guessed that these two generation's Yāoniè would surely erupt into battle.

It was merely a matter of time.

And at this moment, Ye Zhangqing's sudden strike was not surprising.

At this moment, An Sheng Xin clenched his fist and threw a heavy punch, emitting a muffled 'bang'.

Fist and blade-light collided violently.

The violent surge of Línglì spread wildly outward; the golden blade-light, blocked by immense force, was stopped dead.

Then, under the collision of the two forces, the golden blade-light was shattered outright.

Having successfully blocked this strike, An Sheng Xin snapped his head around, glaring at Ye Zhangqing with killing intent blazing like a raging fire, as if to devour his opponent.

In An Sheng Xin's innermost heart, Ye Zhangqing was merely a barbarian from the Xia Jie.

He felt contempt and disdain for Ye Zhangqing, believing such a person was utterly unworthy to be mentioned alongside him.

However, at this very moment, the barbarian in his eyes actually dared to take the initiative to attack him, which is undoubtedly a serious provocation to his dignity.

After entering the Immortal Artifact Space, An Sheng Xin originally intended to first observe the situation, then find a suitable opportunity to strike at Ye Zhangqing.

After all, in this unfamiliar environment, he needed to remain cautious.

But he never expected that Ye Zhangqing would be so arrogant, launching an attack on him first without any hesitation.

This action completely enraged An Sheng Xin; his anger surged in his chest, impossible to quell.

He could not tolerate Ye Zhangqing's behavior, and decided to immediately give him a harsh lesson, letting him know his own power.
