Chapter 498 (1/2)

Test Me (2)

“You think I’m afraid of you? Kill me if you dare, my father would be out for your head! He’s the First Swordsman of the empire, no one in the mainland is a match for him…” boasted Li Xiande loudly. In fact, him talking so much only showed how scared he actually was, he needed Ye Lang to know the consequences of killing him.

“Really? We’ll see about that.” With a swift movement, Ye Lang’s dagger pierced through his heart.

“You… You really did it… You… Why…” There was a look of utter disbelief on Li Xiande’s face, and even at his last breath, he could not believe that Ye Lang was the one who killed him. Was this person not afraid of the First Swordsman’s wrath?

“...” Li Yue’s brows were tightly furrowed. She didn’t expect Ye Lang to actually kill him.

“Why? That’s simple, you tested me. And I want to see what kind of trouble killing you would bring me,” said Ye Lang with a small smile.

Some people were too reckless with their words. Why did he have to push Ye Lang? And it didn’t even matter if his father would avenge his death because he would already be dead.

The price was too high. Li Xiande had given his life because he was reckless.

So what if the First Swordsman actually succeeded in killing Ye Lang? He was already dead, he would never know. Also, was he sure that his father would be able to kill Ye lang?

Although Ye Lang might not be able to beat the First Swordsman in combat, he wouldn’t be able to catch Ye Lang either. That was why killing Ye Lang would be impossible.

And after hearing Ye Lang’s words, Li Xiande did not die a peaceful death. He realised how dumb he was. Why did he want to test Ye Lang? What was the point of that?

If he could do it all again, he would choose to run. He would not care about his pride or dignity, nor would he insist on talking to this Ye Lang, who did not function based on reason.

“...” Li Yue was stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Lang’s reply. The only person she knew who would say that was the prodigal son of the Ye family. Was this Fox kid from the same species?

“What’s done is done. We should quickly get rid of all the bodies and cover our tracks, let’s not invite trouble,” reminded Li Yue, shaking her head.

“Mmm,” came his reply.

While he said ‘we’ll see’, that did not mean he wanted to go out of his way to invite trouble. He was still going to cover his tracks if he could.

Very quickly, Ye Lang buried all the bodies and cleaned up all evidence of battle. With Coldblood Five’s help, even if the next person arrived at this spot, they would not notice a problem with this place.

Li Xiande had been operating in secret since the beginning. Everyone else thought he was here for the group hunt and didn’t know about his motives with Li Yue- he didn’t want anyone to know about it either.

This was ironic too. Li Xiande himself helped keep his death a well-kept secret so no one even suspected a murder. After this event, everyone merely treated this as a missing person case, and even if they suspected he was dead, they wouldn’t think it would be related to Li Yue.

After the fight, Ye Lang and Li Yue could only run as far as they could from this place through the night for neither wanted to sleep here tonight. They treated it as if they’d spent the night hunting.

“Li Yue, what did they use to track your location? It must be something on you.” After a while, Ye Lang was still puzzled by the situation because he was sure they weren’t tracking him. If they were, Coldblood Five would’ve dealt with them a long time ago.

That was why the tracker must be on Li Yue.

“Something on me? I only have the Tianji Armour but… maybe… this horse…” Li Yue patted down the saddle. She was sure there was nothing on her but it would’ve been very easy for anyone to place a tracker on her horse.
