"Oh, damn! Do you think you're a cockroach?"
"To go head-to-head like this, you don't even care about your own life?"
"Idiot!"
As Ye Cangtian made his move, the furious voice of Jin Yezi suddenly echoed in his mind.
The Prince was, after all, a Earth-level expert. Even with the ice from the Dragon Soul Blade affecting him, a full-power strike was not something Ye Cangtian could easily block.
Yet, Ye Cangtian was charging headfirst to meet it, which was no different from seeking death.
"Cough, cough, Miss Ye Zi, please."
Listening to the words in his mind, Ye Cangtian chuckled sheepishly.
The reason he dared to rush forward to take an attack was precisely because of Jin Yezi.
"I... I knew it... I really owe you, you old hag..."
Jin Yezi's voice sounded as if she were gritting her teeth.
Boom!
The sound of thunderous explosions reverberated, and violent spiritual energy swept across the entire area.
Jin Yezi had ultimately made her move.
However, to teach this reckless fellow Ye Cangtian a lesson so he wouldn't court death like this again, she had deliberately relaxed her defenses somewhat.
As a result, Ye Cangtian was sent flying directly, crashing to the side, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
On the other side, the Prince stood rooted to the spot, the ice covering almost his entire body, and his consumption was also considerable.
Puff! Puff!
Just as he was about to break free from the ice, Du Gu Ling and Cang Lang arrived. One pierced his heart, while the other pierced his brow.
The pitiful Prince fell here without even a chance to let out a scream.
Hoo...
Seeing the Prince fall, the three collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Ye, are you alright?"
Du Gu Ling quickly came before Ye Cangtian. Seeing his pale face, she immediately took out a great recovery pill and handed it over.
Ye Cangtian slowly shook his head, did not stand on ceremony, and swallowed it directly, beginning to regulate his breathing.
On the other side, Cang Lang glanced at Du Gu Ling with a playful expression. From Du Gu Ling's attitude, it seemed their relationship had improved somewhat.
He then smiled lightly. These matters did not directly concern him; his target was the treasures here.
With that thought, he also took a pill. Without any intention of regulating his breathing, he immediately began searching the grand hall.
"Hey! How can you do that?"
"We defeated the Prince together. If we're looking for treasures, we should at least search together. That's only fair, right?"
Du Gu Ling, who had seen everything, finally couldn't help but grit her teeth and say.
Given that the other party had not fled from the battle just now, her resentment towards Cang Lang had significantly lessened. However, for Cang Lang to make the first move now was unacceptable!
"Heh, what's there for me to be ashamed of?"
"The treasures here are ownerless. Whoever finds them, finds them!"
"Besides, it wasn't me who told him to regulate his breathing and heal. It was all his own choice, right? Similarly, I didn't stop you either?"
Cang Lang stopped in his tracks and said in a low voice.
In fact, he wanted to search for treasures in advance not just because of the principle of first come, first served, but also for another reason.
He was worried that after finding the treasures, Du Gu Ling and Ye Cangtian would join forces to deal with him, so he needed to find the treasures quickly and leave.
"You..."
Du Gu Ling's face turned red, and anger burned in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word.
The other party had indeed not stopped her from searching for treasures, so what else could she say?
Was she going to fight him over such a trivial matter?
Putting aside whether it was worth it, judging solely by her current injuries, she might not even be his opponent.
...
A short while later.
Ye Cangtian slowly opened his eyes. His injuries had almost completely healed after taking a great recovery pill.
After all, Jin Yezi had only intended to teach him a lesson and naturally wouldn't let Ye Cangtian suffer severe injuries.
"Brother Ye, he..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian wake up, Du Gu Ling quickly pointed at Cang Lang, about to complain, but Ye Cangtian stopped her.
While regulating his breathing, he had also overheard their conversation.
Although Cang Lang was a bit petty, his words were not unreasonable. Everything was his own choice, so there was no need for conflict.
Seeing this, Du Gu Ling snorted. Although she was still a bit indignant, she endured it.
Then, she pointed out the places Cang Lang had searched to Ye Cangtian.
It was clear that Cang Lang wouldn't leave anything good behind for them, so those places could be disregarded.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian swept his gaze around, and his eyes finally landed on the golden great ring blade in the Prince's hand.
This golden great ring blade looked slightly smaller and more ordinary than the Dragon Soul Blade.
However, it was able to clash with the Dragon Soul Blade for a hundred rounds, and its blade remained sharp. Just this fact alone was enough to show the extraordinary nature of this blade.
Thinking that the Dragon Soul Blade was large and very conspicuous, Ye Cangtian felt it would be good to have a backup weapon, which could help reduce the exposure of flaws when switching identities in the future.
Boom!
However, when Ye Cangtian picked up the golden silk great ring blade, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His mind suddenly went blank, and then a figure appeared.
The figure's back was to the sun, and he was wielding a great blade.
Logically speaking, such brilliance should have made it difficult to discern every move.
Yet, what entered his mind was not only the figure's movements but also the exact path of spiritual energy circulation within his body, which Ye Cangtian understood clearly.
Inheritance!
He had actually obtained an inheritance, and more importantly, it was a saber technique inheritance that matched his weapon!
"Brother Ye..."
Ye Cangtian excitedly accepted the inheritance, while Du Gu Ling stood stunned. She had only heard of inheritances but had never witnessed one firsthand.
Now that Ye Cangtian had picked up the great blade and remained still, she was completely bewildered and called out softly.
Hearing the call from this side, Cang Lang turned his head and immediately noticed Ye Cangtian's unusual state.
"This..."
Damn it, why didn't I check that blade!
He wasn't stupid; he could tell at a glance that Ye Cangtian was receiving an inheritance.
This immediately filled Cang Lang with extreme anger. He had had a chance.
However, he was skilled in using swords and spears and was unfamiliar with and disliked sabers, which led him to overlook the Prince's weapon.
Now that he discovered the inheritance was within that saber, he was filled with regret.
He knew that the cultivation techniques of ancient inheritances were incredibly powerful.
If he obtained them, he would be able to rapidly improve his strength, but he had let Ye Cangtian snatch the advantage, which he found unbearable.
Most importantly, such inheritances were very limited in number and depended on personal talent.
After all, these were legacy profound techniques; they couldn't be passed down casually, leading to a situation where they were commonplace, nor could they be passed down to the mediocre.
Therefore, even if Cang Lang were to snatch it now, he might not be able to obtain the inheritance; the chances were slim.
However, any chance was worth trying.
The next moment, a ruthless glint appeared in Cang Lang's eyes. Taking advantage of Ye Cangtian accepting the inheritance, he thrust his spear forward.
The long spear shot out like a rainbow, directly aiming for Ye Cangtian's chest. Cang Lang was determined to deliver a fatal blow.
"Cang Lang, you are despicable!"
Sensing Cang Lang's move, Du Gu Ling instantly roared and rushed forward, blocking Cang Lang's fatal strike.
"Since you're seeking death, I'll grant it to you!"
Cang Lang looked at Du Gu Ling coldly, his eyes filled with rage. He shifted the spearhead, creating countless spear blossoms, and attacked Du Gu Ling.
In his eyes, Du Gu Ling was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Du Gu Ling had already suffered considerable injuries earlier, and had not fully recovered. She was also wounded by the Prince, having suffered successive blows, so Du Gu Ling's injuries must have been severe.
Because of this, he didn't take Du Gu Ling seriously at all.
However, the reality was not as he imagined. While Du Gu Ling's injuries were not minor, her swordplay was extremely exquisite. Merely relying on her swordsmanship, she had managed to hold Cang Lang back.
The reason was simple: Cang Lang also had injuries on his body, which restricted his attacks.
But Cang Lang was still not giving up. He still had a chance now. If Ye Cangtian were to wake up, his chances would be very slim.
Therefore, in order to turn his fortune around, he decided to take a gamble.
For a moment, the two were in a stalemate!
