31: The struggle between princes has always been like this

"Lin Yang, you have ruined my plans multiple times; today, I will make you pay with your life!"

Jiang Yuhao appeared behind Lin Yang like a ghost, unleashing a punch at his back with the speed of lightning.

"Bang!"

But before his fist could reach Lin Yang's back, that invisible strange force reappeared. Jiang Yuhao felt a sharp pain in his waist, and then he was sent flying backward, spitting blood.

"What exactly is going on?"

Jiang Yuhao's head was spinning, and he looked utterly bewildered.

He was certain that Lin Yang hadn't turned around.

So how did Lin Yang kick him away while his back was turned?

A dignified Martial Ancestor, kicked away twice in a row by a mere Martial King without even realizing it?

This was too bizarre; no one would believe it if he told them.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Yuhao calmed down a bit, looking at Lin Yang with deep eyes: "Lin Yang, I lost the competition for Young Sect Master. You can take the Legacy here."

"Oh? You're not going to kill me anymore?"

Lin Yang let out a light 'hmm' with a half-smile, looking at Jiang Yuhao, who seemed to have suddenly enlightened.

Jiang Yuhao looked at Lin Yang indifferently; of course, he wanted to kill Lin Yang.

However, the methods Lin Yang displayed were too strange.

First, he stealthily stole the Legacy that originally belonged to him.

Then, he silently eliminated Black Old.

Now, even he himself had been kicked twice without realizing it.

"This Lin Yang is too damn evil! If I insist on fighting him to the death, I might just capsize in a ditch."

After much thought, the calm Jiang Yuhao decided to take a step back and prioritize his own safety.

"A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm! Once I get out of here and figure out what that invisible force on him is, I will definitely seek him out and reclaim everything I lost today!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuhao deliberately put on a facade of surrender, merely to deceive Lin Yang.

In reality, he had already put Lin Yang on his death list.

"Lin Yang, in today's confrontation, I, Jiang Yuhao, admit defeat. From now on, you and I will not interfere with each other; let's part ways here!"

Jiang Yuhao bid farewell and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait! Who said you could leave?"

Just then, Lin Yang called out to him.

This Jiang Yuhao had just been helping a strange Soul possess him. After the Possession failed, he wanted to personally kill him.

If not for Aili being present, he would have undoubtedly faced a grim fate today.

It could be said that the two sides were already in a life-or-death situation.

If he didn't eliminate Jiang Yuhao today, with this person's cunning, he would surely threaten his life in the future.

"Since you're not killing me, then I'm going to kill you!"

Lin Yang's eyes hardened, and with a flip of his palm, the Zhu Xian Sword in Aili's hand was telekinetically drawn to him. The sword tip lunged fiercely towards Jiang Yuhao's throat.

"Lin Yang, don't go too far! Both of us getting hurt will do no good to either of us!"

Jiang Yuhao looked at the incoming crystal sword, gritting his teeth in hatred. Sure enough, just as he suspected, Lin Yang had stolen his Legacy.

"Both of us getting hurt? Wrong, it's life or death!"

Lin Yang grinned, a red light suddenly flashing in his eyes.

"Ridiculous, what do you think you are? I am a Martial Ancestor; can a mere Martial King like you break through my defense?"

Jiang Yuhao flipped his palm, and a Dragon Pearl appeared, transforming into a giant white Dragon that firmly protected him.

Shhh!

However, the next moment, Jiang Yuhao suddenly felt a pain in his eyes. A flash of sword light directly broke through the white Dragon's defense, piercing straight through his heart.

"How could this be..."

Jiang Yuhao slowly lowered his head, staring in disbelief at the blood-soaked hole that went straight through his chest. Blood mixed with fragments of his heart gushed from the wound.

"The Dragon Pearl's defense, even the Zhu Xian Sword shouldn't be able to break through it with one strike! Why..."

Jiang Yuhao's heart was filled with confusion.

Just then, a red light suddenly flashed before his eyes, the surrounding space blurred indistinctly for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

At this point, when Jiang Yuhao looked closely again, he found that the white Dragon had disappeared.

And that Dragon Pearl had been in his pocket the entire time; he hadn't even taken it out!

"Illusion art!?"

Jiang Yuhao's pupils contracted, as if he understood something. He looked up, gazing at Lin Yang in front of him with disbelief.

He had unknowingly fallen into the opponent's illusion art, so much so that when that sword strike came, the white Dragon defense he had constructed was merely a figment of his imagination.

To outsiders, he had stood still the entire time, frozen in place as if awaiting death.

"Hahaha, illusion art, I actually fell for your illusion art!"

A moment later, Jiang Yuhao suddenly laughed maniacally, clutching his shattered heart.

At the same time, with his heart shattered, his spiritual Qi was rapidly leaking, and it was clear he wouldn't live.

Before his death, Jiang Yuhao suddenly looked directly at Lin Yang, "Tell me, what is that invisible power you possess?"

At this moment, Jiang Yuhao showed no joy or sorrow, no regret or remorse for his defeat, only the composure and frankness of accepting a lost gamble.

Seeing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuhao in a new light, then shook his head slightly, "That's not a power I control."

"Not you?" Jiang Yuhao frowned.

Whoosh!

Space shimmered with light. At Lin Yang's signal, a delicate little girl with blonde twin pigtails slowly appeared in Jiang Yuhao's line of sight.

It was Aili.

Before Jiang Yuhao could figure out Aili's identity, Aili made a small gesture with her hand, and the Dragon Pearl in Jiang Yuhao's pocket immediately flew out, landing in Aili's hand.

Then, under the gaze of Lin Yang and Jiang Yuhao.

"Crunch~"

Aili began to chew on the Dragon Pearl as if it were candy.

"My goodness... a monster!"

The scene before him almost scared Jiang Yuhao to death.

This was a Dragon Pearl!

A treasure extremely rare even among the Dragon Clan, indestructible.

And it was... eaten by a little girl?!

Jiang Yuhao's worldview collapsed.

He felt that he must still be immersed in Lin Yang's illusion art and hadn't escaped, otherwise, how could he see a little girl eating a Dragon Pearl like candy?

"Hmm, I must not be fully awake yet. I'll just sleep for a bit."

And so, with seven parts shock and three parts doubt, Jiang Yuhao closed his eyes and lay down.

A Prodigy of his generation, a young Martial Ancestor expert, thus peacefully passed away.

Looking at Jiang Yuhao, whose aura was gradually dissipating, Lin Yang's eyes also flashed with a complex expression.

The struggle for the heir has always been like this.

It's either you die, or I perish.
