Chapter 1850: Confrontation with Youxing (Part 1)

This sudden and unexpected event caught everyone off guard. Even Jiang Chengxuan himself hadn’t anticipated that someone would strike at him at such a moment—especially while they were trapped within the lost and chaotic depths of the deep space.

In this abnormal space, they had been moving in accordance with the rules of the cosmic anomaly: stopping during the deep space’s darkness and only unleashing their power during the blood-red phase, fighting against the mutated forces.

This pattern, repeated again and again, had formed a kind of habit and suggestion. They subconsciously believed that when the deep space descended into chaotic darkness, no one could traverse it.

But in reality, with the power of a Golden Immortal, it was possible to move through the darkness. This was a fatal information gap—and it made Youxing Daxian’s assassination attempt perfectly flawless.

Just before striking, Youxing Daxian looked at Jiang Chengxuan and the others, who were completely unguarded, and nearly burst with joy. It was as if he had already seen Jiang’s dying form.

Yet, to his utter surprise, in that split second, Jiang Chengxuan seemed to react, using a mysterious power to resist his Golden Immortal force!

“Hum—!”

At that moment, the cosmic anomaly flared again. With a strange humming, the blood light surged wildly, filling every inch of space with destructive intent.

The raging underworld storm was swept away instantly, leaving the chaotic void in ruins.

Then, a voice slowly emerged, shocking everyone present.

“Youxing Daxian… so it’s you!”

Hearing this, Youxing Daxian’s eyes blazed with killing intent, and his hopeful expression instantly turned grim.

On the other side, Cloud Tian and Cloud Di, shocked as if mourning a lost soul, were stunned for a moment, then their eyes flared with disbelief, replacing sadness with shock.

“Jiang Daoist, you… you’re alright!”

“That’s great, truly great!”

The two cried out, nearly overwhelmed with joy.

From beneath the blood-colored shroud of deep space, a shadowy figure slowly stepped forward. It was none other than Jiang Chengxuan himself.

Having skirted the edge of death, Jiang’s expression had lost its usual calmness, replaced by a boundless chill.

Youxing Daxian’s assassination attempt had almost cost him his life, and even now, Jiang still felt lingering heart palpitations.

“You really are stubborn…”

Youxing Daxian appeared even graver than Jiang, frowning deeply with a mixture of shock and fury.

Clearly, Jiang’s appearance meant that the carefully planned assassination had failed at the last moment.

Despite some instability in his aura and his disheveled appearance, Jiang Chengxuan had escaped with barely a scratch—a narrow escape indeed.

No doubt, at the critical moment, Jiang had used some fleeting opportunity or method to save himself.

This was a humiliating slap to Youxing Daxian’s face.

As a Golden Immortal, he had resorted to a sneak attack on a lesser Xuan Immortal, only to be completely thwarted, leaving the younger man unscathed.

Not to mention, Youxing’s sect specialized in ghostly assassination techniques, making this failure all the more shameful—a lifelong stain on his record.

“Jiang Daoist! Are you truly alright?”

“Thank heavens! You’re unharmed—you gave us such a fright…”

Cloud Tian and Cloud Di hurried over to Jiang’s side, anxiously interrupting the tense confrontation between Jiang and Youxing.

“No worries, I’m fine. You two should step back first.”

Jiang Chengxuan’s calm returned as he reassured them, though his gaze remained locked on Youxing Daxian, signaling he had no intention of letting this matter go easily.

“But—”

“Be careful!”

Cloud Tian opened his mouth to say more, but Cloud Di, sensing the tension, stopped him.

They knew Jiang’s resolve was unshakeable.

Without hesitation, the two quickly withdrew to a distance, standing guard silently.

Neither Youxing Daxian nor Jiang Chengxuan’s fight was something they could intervene in. Their only choice was to witness in silence.

Soon, the oppressive sense of looming danger filled the space again.

Under the blood-red shroud of deep space, destruction, killing intent, and invisible energy all intertwined with peril and strangeness.

“Looks like you failed to seize the Golden Immortal enlightenment after all?”

In the midst of this standoff, Jiang Chengxuan spoke first, suddenly asking Youxing Daxian.

He had sensed that Youxing’s presence here meant some unexpected change had occurred in the contest for the Golden Immortal enlightenment.

“Hmph!”

“That was nothing but a trap!”

Youxing Daxian snorted coldly but did not rush to attack.

His words sent a shock through Jiang Chengxuan, though he remained calm and composed.

With Jiang’s experience, he could instantly guess the underlying reasons.

However, now was not the time to discuss the details, nor was Youxing someone Jiang could trust.

Their conversation was merely a prelude, waiting for the right moment to strike.
