Ultimate Devouring System novel - chapter 23

C23 assassination

Ye Xuan lied on top of a roof and hid under the night sky, only exposing his two eyes.

He calculated the time, Chen Song should be out soon, and as expected, not long later, Chen Song, who was stripped naked by him that day and thrown onto the street, came out.

“What a thick skin. He’s already run naked once, and he still has the nerve to come out.” On the rooftop, Ye Xuan thought, but didn’t they just happen to bump into his gun?

At this time, Chen Song had just left the Chen Family and there were two guards of the Chen Family behind him.

Ye Xuan was not stupid enough to shoot Chen Song at the entrance of the Chen Family.

Therefore, Chen Song could still live for a bit longer.

Under the escort of two guards, Chen Song gradually distanced himself from the Chen Family.

On the other side, Ye Xuan was also continuously following them from the rooftop. This was the first time he pretended to be dressed in black, but no one on the street was able to find him.

At this time, Chen Song had already left the Chen Family for ten minutes, and the expression of Ye Xuan, who was following him from the rooftop, became grave.

“Alright, Chen Song, you hit Liu’er, causing Liu’er to be unconscious for many days. Today, is the day you die!”

As Ye Xuan spoke in his heart, he suddenly took out his profound steel bow from the Devouring Space. Currently, he was only sixty to seventy meters away from Chen Song.

He pulled the Black Iron Bow to its limit and condensed a Wind Chasing Arrow. After adjusting his breathing, his right hand suddenly let go.

“Buzz!”

The Wind Chasing Arrow condensed from Spiritual Energy instantly shot out and crossed dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

“F * ck, you bunch of trash, what are you looking at? Scram!”

On the main street, Chen Song could not stand the gazes of the surrounding people and directly shouted out loud.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his head, and then his entire body fell forward uncontrollably.

“Plop!”

Chen Song’s forehead smashed into the floor, causing blood to spurt out like a fountain and he died instantly.

“S-Young Master!”

The two guards were stunned. Their Young Master actually died right in front of their eyes.

Immediately, they went up to check on Chen Song, only to realize that they were no longer breathing, as someone’s attack had pierced through their brain, instantly killing them.

“Quick, go back and notify the Patriarch!”

After Chen Song died, Ye Xuan immediately kept the Profound Iron Bow inside the Devouring Space, then quickly jumped down from the roof and escaped into the darkness.

His strength, only the people from Ye Family and Xue Qingqing knew about it, so as long as he didn’t take out his profound steel bow, no one would suspect him.

However, the Chen Family would definitely guess that it was the people from Ye Family who did it.

But there was no evidence, was there?

Or could it be that a third party had deliberately shot Chen Song to cause a dispute between the two sides?

“For you to dare to touch my people and let you live for so long, you are truly benevolent.”

Ye Xuan, who was currently returning to the Ye Family, thought to himself, if he had the ability, he would have made his move three days ago.

Although Ye Xuan wasn’t a person who liked to cause trouble, he had a vengeful personality. Whoever dared to provoke him would end up with a miserable ending.

Very quickly, Ye Xuan had rushed back to the Ye Family. He had directly arrived at the forest behind the Ye Family, then put away the black clothed person inside the Devouring Space.

Although this place was the Ye Family, he was afraid that there would be some of Chen Family’s eyes and ears here. As for the arrow holes in the forest that were used to practice archery, they had all been deliberately camouflaged by Ye Xuan.

What he practiced in the forest was not archery, but swordsmanship!

“Hey, Young Master, you’re back.” After Ye Xuan returned to the courtyard, Liu’er also jumped up to welcome him and helped him wipe away his sweat.

“En, Liu’er, quickly help me prepare the hot water. Young Master, I want to take a bath.” Ye Xuan lovingly touched Liu’er’s head.

He had run all the way back, and had also practiced the Gale Sword Technique a few times in the forest behind Ye Family, so his clothes were already wet with sweat.

“Alright!”

Liu’er ran away happily. Recently, Ye Xuan had returned to the Ye Family and received more attention from the Ye Family. This made her really happy.

Other than Liu’er, there was another person in the courtyard, and that person was Xue Qingqing.

After Liu’er ran away, Xue Qingqing also looked at Ye Xuan strangely, and said: “Aren’t you training a little too hard these past few days? Why do I feel like you’re doing something so mysterious to me?”

The girl’s sixth sense was extremely sharp. Although Ye Xuan had disguised himself well, it still made Xue Qingqing feel that something was amiss.

With my talent, I can only get the nurturing needed at Cloud Breaking Sect, and there are still many Senior Brother s who are much stronger than me, so if I don’t work hard, how can I surpass them? Ye Xuan casually made up a reason.

“Liar, you’re still not allowing me to go when you’re cultivating. You’re clearly doing something else. Quickly, come and find me. What have you been doing these past few days?” Xue Qingqing did not believe it.

“Hur hur, you’ll know tomorrow.” Ye Xuan intentionally kept them in suspense.

However, his reply caused Xue Qingqing to be convinced of her guess. She pondered for a moment, then revealed a look of shock: “You, killed Chen Song?”

Ye Xuan, who had just sat down and was about to drink a glass of water, almost choked to death.

“Yes, he died half an hour ago.” Ye Xuan was not going to go blind with his voice, after all, Xue Qingqing had personally witnessed him killing Chen Feng, so it was fine to know that he had also killed Chen Song.

Hearing Ye Xuan personally admit it, Xue Qingqing also cried out in alarm: “You’re crazy, if you kill him, your Ye Family will have to fight to the death with his Chen Family. At that time, many people will die.”

“I know, but I have to avenge Liu’er!” Ye Xuan naturally understood what would happen when the two great clans fought.

“You ?” Xue Qingqing was also at a loss for words. She suddenly felt that the Ye Xuan in front of her had a slight difference from the Ye Xuan of a few years ago.

“Don’t worry, even if the Chen Family comes looking for us, they won’t have any evidence. Furthermore, I used a bow and arrow to kill Chen Song within ten meters of them, no one would know.” Ye Xuan said.

“Then how did you find Chen Song?” Xue Qingqing’s beautiful eyes moved as she asked.

This question caused Ye Xuan to be startled.

“I spent five thousand silver to bribe a steward of the Chen Family. She should have left the city yesterday and left the Lianyun City.” Ye Xuan said.

Five thousand taels of silver was not a small sum. It was enough for a family to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.

“What if the Chen Family captures him and brings him back?” Xue Qingqing asked again.

Ye Xuan gave a bland laugh, “Then it’s fine. I went in disguise and wore black clothing, even my voice was deliberately suppressed. He couldn’t recognize me.”
