894. Chapter 892: Dire Situation

「Huh? 」 Jiang Lin's eye twitched, he faintly sensed that the situation was dire.

「Hahaha! Let me tell you, just after you left the Jiang manor, your Second Prince has already met his end in the Yellow Springs! 」 Liu Wenyuan shouted with a mad laugh, his eyes flashing with utter hatred.

「What? 」 Jiang Lin's face froze, a violent shock thundered in his mind.

Although he wanted to retort, he also knew this was most likely true.

After all, his elder brother Jiang Chen had a close relationship with Chu Yun; if he had secretly aided her, how could Liu Wenyuan dare act so recklessly?

What surprised him even more was that Jiang Chen not only helped Chu Yun escape danger, but even killed his second older brother.

「Damn it! 」 Jiang Lin gritted his teeth, his fury extreme.

He never imagined that his painstakingly prepared revenge plot would be destroyed by such a baseless conspiracy.

And the Jiang royal family he relied on completely abandoned him, even disregarding his life.

「How... how could this be? Why has it become like this? 」 Jiang Lin murmured, his eyes showing strong bewilderment and confusion.

He never dreamed that the Jiang royal family would leave his life and death to chance, ignoring him!

「Why? Hahaha! 」 Liu Wenyuan laughed hideously.

「Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin, you think I don't know your ambition, your wolfish ambition? 」

「Let me tell you frankly! Every move you've made these years in the Jiang imperial palace has been under the Third Consort's control! 」

「Don't forget, without the Jiang royal family's massive backing back then, how could she have secured the empress's position? 」

「Now, the Jiang royal family's power is basically centered in the Third Prince; Jiang Lin, your doom has arrived! 」

Liu Wenyuan's eyes gleamed, like a vicious wolf eyeing a fat sheep, his eyes blood-red, filled with icy killing intent.

「What? So that's... 」 Jiang Lin's eyelids twitched rapidly, finally he came to his senses.

「So all these years, you mother and son have been deceiving me! 」 Jiang Lin's face filled with rage, his killing intent surging, he wished to hack Liu Wenyuan into pieces.

For all these years, he had regarded the Third Consort as an idol, revering her as a deity!

Who would have thought, the mother he respected and loved was actually his enemy! 「Liu Wenyuan, save these words for your son! 」

Lu Yuan gave a cold shout, swinging his sword to attack Jiang Lin.

Boom!

Sword intent crisscrossed, a sharp sword light tore through the air and slashed forth.

「Lu Yuan, do you think a few moves of sword technique can defeat me? 」

Jiang Lin gave a cold smile, his aura swiftly rose, instantly reaching a terrifying level.

At the same time.

He lightly flicked his wrist, and a jade talisman instantly shattered.

Hum! A towering formation suddenly blossomed, enclosing both of them within its range, causing Lu Yuan to fall into sluggishness.

At the same time, Jiang Lin stepped forward, his right fist wrapped in surging black flames, and he fiercely met the attack.

Bang! After a muffled thud, Jiang Lin stood firm, unmoved, while Lu Yuan was forced back several zhang.

「Hiss! What terrifying cultivation! 」 Lu Yuan drew a deep breath, his eyes full of solemnity.

Jiang Lin's strength exceeded his imagination; even with all his might, he was no match.

Moreover, his cultivation was suppressed by the formation, and his combat power was also affected.

Thus, he could not possibly win!

「Lu Yuan, tonight is your death; surrender obediently! 」

Jiang Lin roared angrily, his feet pounding as he rushed toward Lu Yuan.

「Damn it! 」

Lu Yuan's face turned dark as iron, he cursed silently without cease.

Now his situation was extremely dire, completely suppressed by Jiang Lin.

If they continued fighting like this, defeat was certain.

Unfortunately, the formation's restrictive power was too terrifying, leaving him utterly unable to break free.

Swish! Just as Lu Yuan was about to employ a life-saving technique, a cluster of silver light shot forth.

「Huh? 」

Jiang Lin's face darkened. This sudden attack disrupted his rhythm, causing his stance to waver and missing the opportunity.

Pfft! Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yuan erupted in attack, his long sword turning into a piercing shriek.

It then slammed hard into Jiang Lin's chest, shaking him so violently he vomited blood and flew backward.

「Jiang Lin, do you still want to run? 」

Lu Yuan wore a sneer, gripping his treasure sword as he walked toward Jiang Lin.

「Lu Yuan, you... 」

Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with cold light, about to rebuke, when he suddenly felt his true essence stagnating within.

Immediately after…

He only heard a crisp crack from within, like bones breaking, and intense pain overwhelmed him, making him cry out.

「Jiang Lin, stop wasting effort; your dantian has been crippled! 」

Lu Yuan gave a mocking smile, stepping forward: "From now on, you have no chance to turn things over. If you're sensible, just admit defeat; I might spare your dog's life."

Jiang Lin, hearing this, flew into a rage, his eyes blazing with fury: "Lu Yuan, don't think you can force my surrender with such vile means; you will never win my allegiance. Unless... I die!"

「Obstinate and insensible! 」

Lu Yuan gave a cold snort, raised his hand and sliced down with his sword.

Pfft! Blood spattered everywhere.

Jiang Lin stared wide-eyed, looking at Lu Yuan in disbelief, he struggled to open his mouth, but in the end couldn't utter a sound.

Thud! Jiang Lin collapsed.

"Hahaha…"

Lu Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.

He sheathed his long sword, step by step walked to Jiang Lin's side, crouched down and reached out to touch Jiang Lin's nostrils, sighing.

"Jiang Lin, in this lifetime you ultimately still lost to me! Hahaha…"

"Even if you die, I will take good care of Jiang Rou for you, so you can rest easy on your journey!"

Lu Yuan leaned close to Jiang Lin's ear and whispered softly.

Yet Jiang Lin's face still showed an unwilling expression.

Lu Yuan shook his head and sneered, madness flashing in his eyes.

"Rest assured! After I destroy the Lu Family, I will find Jiang Rou for you!"

Lu Yuan patted Jiang Lin's head, gave a cold smile, rose and left the great hall.

"Third Prince, you came out so quickly?"

"What about that Jiang Lin fellow? He wasn't so arrogant? How did the fight end so quickly?"

At the gate of Jiang Manor, many guards gathered around, looking at Lu Yuan with suspicion.

"No need to worry about him, let's go in and report to the master." Lu Yuan waved his hand with a smile and strode into the manor.

"Jiang Lin was crippled by Jiang Rou and is already dead!"

Lu Yuan had just entered the main hall when Jiang Heng frowned slightly, showing apprehension.

"Hmm?"

"Dead?"

Hearing his answer, everyone was shocked! "So quickly!"

Everyone looked at each other, their faces turning extremely grave.

"Father, Jiang Lin is a peak martial artist, his strength not weak—how could he be crippled by Jiang Rou?" Jiang Hua said doubtfully, clearly not believing.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "Jiang Lin was crippled by my own hand."

"Hiss!" Upon hearing that, everyone's faces changed slightly, shocked! "Right, what about Jiang Rou?"

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

That day he and Jiang Rou joined forces to attack, killing Jiang Chen and Su Wan in succession. (End of chapter)
