Chapter 2425: I Just Want to Live

Tie Dan was truly numb right now, held in Ye Zhangqing's hand, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

He didn't do anything at all; from the start, Tie Dan shrank consciously into the crowd, not even sticking his head out.

He just worried about being caught up, and tried hard to make himself an inconspicuous nobody.

But who would have thought, in the end it was still like this, and again he was the unlucky one.

Tie Dan's strength wasn't strong, but he could see clearly that Ye Zhangqing's strike just now wasn't aimed at him; it was completely indiscriminate.

Only the Heavenly Pride disciples ahead of him each used their own methods to dodge, but when it came to him, he didn't dodge, and then this happened.

"Senior Brother Ye, I…………………"

Tie Dan wanted to say something, but to Ye Zhangqing, it didn't matter who he grabbed; as long as he caught someone, that was fine.

So, without waiting for Tie Dan to speak, Ye Zhangqing directly sealed his mouth, leaving Tie Dan utterly hopeless.

Shouting in his heart, "Listen to me finish my words! With so many people here, why is it me again? Heaven is unjust!"

At this moment, Tie Dan only felt that this thieving heaven seemed to be deliberately opposing him, leaving him no peace.

However, even though he was full of indignation, Tie Dan had no recourse, let alone breaking free from Ye Zhangqing's control.

And feeling Ye Zhangqing's gaze, An Sheng Xin instantly sensed something wrong; although he didn't quite understand, he still gritted his teeth and asked.

"What do you want to do?"

In response, Ye Zhangqing took out a life token from his Space Ring; this life token differed from an ordinary one, being entirely black and covered in runes.

"Substitute life token………………"

However, the moment he saw this black life token, An Sheng Xin cried out in surprise, obviously recognizing it.

In the Immortal Realm, anyone who joins an immortal sect or is born of an immortal clan basically has a life token.

This is a basic thing.

The function of a life token need not be elaborated; upon death, it shatters instantly.

The appearance of the substitute life token is precisely to deal with this situation.

If one wants to kill someone but doesn't want to expose it quickly, one can use a substitute life token, injecting another's breath into it to feign that the person is still alive, thus deceiving the life token.

The moment he saw the substitute life token, An Sheng Xin immediately understood what Ye Zhangqing intended, and he panicked completely.

"Ye Zhangqing, you…………………"

He still wanted to say more, but Ye Zhangqing gave him no chance, directly striking out and completely slaying An Sheng Xin.

Countless blades, mingled with Línglì, enveloped An Sheng Xin, leaving him no strength to resist, then gradually strangling and wearing him down.

Throughout the process, An Sheng Xin struggled desperately, but in the end he still did not succeed.

Under everyone's gaze, An Sheng Xin was thus killed.

Until his vitality was cut off, all the young Heavenly Pride present felt an unreal sensation, and some couldn't help muttering.

"Really dead?"

This is one of the present era's five great Yāoniè, and he just died before their eyes?

The present era's five great Yāoniè, aside from Ye Zhangqing, the others have long been renowned, yet never before has there been a case of their downfall.

An Sheng Xin can be said to have broken new ground; the talent of a Yāoniè, being slain personally by fellow Yāoniè Ye Zhangqing, is truly and truly dead.

With An Sheng Xin's downfall, Ye Zhangqing's gaze also turned to the Tie Dan in his hand.

Under his almost pleading expression, Ye Zhangqing took a wisp of his vital energy and then infused it into the substitute life token.

Mingled with An Sheng Xin's breath, for a moment the runes that had begun to flash with light quickly calmed down.

This means that An Sheng Xin's life token has been temporarily stabilized; outsiders temporarily don't know he has been killed, having fallen within this Immortal Artifact Space.

After doing all this, Ye Zhangqing then collected the substitute life token and casually set Tie Dan down.

Once Tie Dan regained his freedom and found he could speak, he hesitated not at all, and with a plop knelt before Ye Zhangqing.

He kept kowtowing, begging for mercy.

"Shī xiōng spare me, Shī xiōng spare me; I am just an ordinary disciple, an ant, I pose no threat to you, Shī xiōng."

Tie Dan truly had no extravagant wishes; he just wanted to stay alive.

You immortals, could you not implicate this ordinary person?

He really is afraid.

As for this, Ye Zhangqing slightly furrowed his brows and spoke.

"Live well; afterward I will guarantee you one life."

Ye Zhangqing had no intention toward Tie Dan; he didn't even know who he was or what his name was.

Let alone harboring any harmful intent.

Just now it was also a random pick; to Ye Zhangqing, anyone would do.

Now, the substitute life token has been completed; naturally it's impossible to change the person, and what difference would changing someone make?

So Ye Zhangqing ignored Tie Dan's pleas, dropped a sentence, then turned and left; as for An Sheng Xin's corpse, it was simply destroyed with a casual flick.

As for his Space Ring, it naturally ended up in Ye Zhangqing's hands.

Watching Ye Zhangqing's retreating back, Tie Dan was already hopeless.

He just wanted to stay alive; what wrong did he do, how did he get implicated again?

Now, in a sense, he is essentially living in place of An Sheng Xin.

But can this be concealed? Once out of this Immortal Artifact Space, if the Ultimate Bliss Palace can't find An Sheng Xin, relying on the life token, there are plenty of ways to locate him here.

Then how would he explain it? Why is his breath on the substitute life token?

And under the wrath of the Ultimate Bliss Palace, does he have a chance to survive?

But facing Ye Zhangqing walking away, he lacked the courage to call out to him.

An Sheng Xin he fears; Ye Zhangqing he fears even more.

This is the ruthless person who, just a moment ago, personally slew An Sheng Xin.

People tell you what to do—can you refuse?

Tie Dan only felt as if he were being targeted by this damned heaven.

For no reason, he's again dragged into a deadly situation—could it be that heaven really wants to doom this Tie someone?

Having slain An Sheng Xin, Ye Zhangqing prepared to continue forward.

And the crowd naturally watched Ye Zhangqing's every move, taking him as their guide.

When Ye Zhangqing moves, they dare to follow; if Ye Zhangqing doesn't move, the crowd dares not take a single step.

So, seeing Ye Zhangqing prepare to continue forward, the crowd hurriedly followed.

Along this second spacious square, they soon arrived at the second trial of the entrance to this Immortal Artifact Space.

However, after passing the first golden brick narrow path, the connection between the two entrances was cut off.

This is also the reason why An Sheng Xin couldn't tell He Yingqin of his danger just now.

Ye Zhangqing naturally couldn't act while the two entrances were still connected; otherwise, He Yingqin would have found out.

Upon reaching the edge of this square, the crowd only saw a White Jade Avenue appear before them—this is the road ahead, and they don't know what trial awaits them.
