"Hmph, a barbarian from the lower realms, you're courting death."

"Who do you think will win this battle?"

It didn't go past fast, it came back fast; a sword was blocked by Ye Zhangqing raising his blade, and in the next second Ye Zhangqing kicked, mercilessly sending An Sheng Xin flying back.

On the ground, he fell hard.

He didn't even have a single move, and this result clearly shows how great the gap between the two sides is now.

The young Heavenly Pride who had been optimistic about An Shengzi earlier have all fallen silent now.

Is the gap really that big?

An Sheng Xin couldn't even withstand a single move in front of Ye Zhangqing, and was directly kicked away.

"An Shengzi is probably done for."

Someone already had this thought in mind; if there is no change, An Sheng Xin is surely doomed to lose, and it's hard to say whether he will even die and vanish here today.
