Chapter 37: Life and Death as the Price
Langri looked at Hada in surprise, with an indescribable look in his eyes. He didn't expect Hada's knife to be cut.
There was a clear smile on the corner of Hada's lips, "I'm not here to compete, I'm here to kill you, Yi Langri, are you ready? You're going to die here today."
"Why, Hada? " A heart-wrenching pain came from Langri's shoulder. He tried his best to resist Hada's knife, and Langri's blood flowed down the blade.
Hada's eyes were straight at Langri, "Only if you die, Haoyue can return to me, and nothing else matters."
Haoyue pushed away the crowd and pulled Qi Jige, "Dad, go and stop him quickly, Hada is crazy!"
Qi Jige glanced at Qi Jige but was unmoved. Ke Bai looked at Qi Jige anxiously, "I said you should stop these two children."
The voices of the people around him rose, and Hagan was gone. Langri pushed Hada away, covering his injured shoulder, "Hadda, it's not that I can't fight back, it's that I don't want to make a grudge with you, don't force me."
Hada wiped his lips and looked at the injured Langri, thinking that he had the upper hand, and immediately showed a fierce expression, "Yi Langri, I want you to die, come on." He raised his knife and slashed at Langri again.
Seeing that his father was indifferent, Haoyue shouted to the stage, "Hadda, you bastard, what's the point of competing with Langri with your weapon? What do you dare to try to do with him? I can't spare you."
Hada did not look at Haoyue, but her words aroused his hatred for Langri. He rushed towards Langri. Langri passively resisted him with a knife without lethality in one hand. Although he did not take the initiative to attack, Hada could not hurt him. Langri was once again stalemate with Hada. Hada, who was angry, freed up a hand to grab Langri's injured shoulder. Langri suddenly felt a piercing pain. He pushed Hada away. Hada's knife cut down along Langri's neck, and Langri simply avoided it sensitively. The knife only cut the skin of Langri's neck.
"Ah," Haoyue covered her mouth, "Hadda, you bastard!"
Langri felt that he could not bear it anymore. Hada obviously wanted to kill him. He touched his neck and saw his bright red blood, and anger appeared in his eyes.
"Senior brother, you fight back, what are you waiting for! He wants to take your life, but you won't fight back." Haoyue lay on the stage and shouted. For a moment, she wanted to rush up, but Qi Jige next to her grabbed her tightly.
"Isn't this a competition? Why did it become like this?" Copper glared at Hada, "Aren't you going to stop it? Even if you are really trying to kill the other party, you should pay attention to fairness and give Langri a knife."
This statement reminded Haoyue. Her frightened eyes suddenly aimed at the wolf-slaying sword on her father's waist, which was passed down from generation to generation by the leader. This sword cuts iron like mud, and the demon immediately turns into blood when he is stabbed. Haoyue can't control these things, and pulled out the sword with lightning speed. "Senior brother, go ahead!" As he said that, he threw the sword towards Langri.
Langri reached out and steadily caught the wolf-slaying sword. Qi Jige was stunned. When he realized that the knife had already reached Langri's hand. He glanced at his daughter and didn't say anything for a while. Haoyue couldn't care about her father. She looked at Langri worriedly and hoped that he could use this knife to turn the passive situation.
Langri's right hand reversed, and the sword was extremely obedient in Langri's hand. The sharp sword face emitted a shocking light in the sun, which seemed to indicate his outstanding experience and his record of winning every battle.
Langri's shoulders were still bleeding, and he placed the knife on his chest with both hands, "Hadda, if you really want to use your life as a bet, then let's do it openly."
Hada's heart was chilling, and Lang Ri was looking at him deeply. He had never seen such a look before.
Qi Jige is not worried about anything else. With Langri's skills, as long as he faces the game with Hada and does not avoid other things and refuses to take action, even if he doesn't have weapons, Hada is probably not his opponent. However, what Haoyue threw to Langri is the wolf-slaying sword. The sword was created by the clan for two years, which is stained with the blood of the leader of the wolf clan. It has extremely strong spirituality and is not controlled by anyone.
Langri launched an attack on Hada for the first time. While he jumped up, the sword emitted a fatal light on Langri's hand. Hada hurriedly put on a stance to resist, but Langri's attack made Hada unable to resist it. He blocked Langri's back and pushed it a few steps, and the shoes were deeply trapped on the ground.
Langri pulled out his sword and waved it to Hada again. Hada had no room for counterattack. Qi Jige suddenly felt that his worries were redundant. This sword seemed to be alive in Langri's hands. Langri gave it life and it was also choosing its master.
Hagan did not go far. He watched this scene from the side. Seeing that his son's advantage had turned to Langri, Hada was about to lose his battle when he spoke. He took out a flying knife covered with venom from his chest. This was part of what he and Hada planned yesterday. As long as Langri died, he would not ask about the means.
After several rounds, Hada could no longer resist it. He covered his chest and gasped and supported the knife with one hand. From the left eye, he saw Hagan looking at him from behind. He understood what his father meant, so he attacked again to try to lead Langri to the front and face off the stage.
Langri fought with Hada again. Langri, who was unprepared, turned his back over under Hada's attack. He was facing the audience. Hagan thought that this was an opportunity, so he sent out a flying knife in his arms, and stabbed Langri directly.
As soon as Qi Jige looked up, the flying knife was flying over his head and flew towards the stage.
Langri felt the flying knife attack, and he turned around and drew the knife and bounced it toward the side and hit Hada's big arm.
Everyone was shocked, including Hagan and Hada himself.
Hagan rushed to the stage desperately to hold his son. Unfortunately, this poison had no antidote. Langri was also shocked because Hada fell to the ground and couldn't get up. His face was blue and foaming at him. He pointed at Langri, his hands trembling constantly.
Haoyue, Qi Jige and others also ran up. Haoyue pulled Langri's arm, and Qi Jige glanced at the father and son in front of him, "It's the flying knife you sent."
Hagan was already crying and was in pain. Hada stared at Langri with his eyes tightly and finally took his last breath.
"You are harming others and yourself." Copper did not mean to sympathize with Hagan's father and son.
Hagan was deeply guilty of self-blame and could not look up for a long time. Qi Jige ordered people to carry away the dead Hada. Hagan held his son with one hand and waved his son's knife with the other hand and refused to let go. No one dared to step forward, "Get out, you all get out, don't touch him."
Qi Jige couldn't bear it and held it down and directly said, "Have you made enough trouble? Today, it's all your fault."
"Get out, get out," Hagan struggled to push Qi Jige away. He rushed towards Langri, "I want to kill you, kill you."
Copper looked at Hagan's neck from behind and Hagan fainted.
Langri didn't expect that the flying knife was poisonous, or that it was a helpless poison. Looking at Hada, who was lying on the ground and looking at the hideous face of struggle while lying on the ground, she felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
Haoyue understood what Langri was thinking, and she supported Langri, "It's not your business."
The people in the audience also probably knew what was going on. They were making noises all over the place. The elders of the clan got up from the stool, "Chief, now announce who the next leader of our wolf-slaying clan is. We have seen this farce and can't wait to know the answer."
Qi Jige glanced at Langri who was lowering his head next to him, and patted Langri on the shoulder, "How are you?"
Langri looked up at the master, "I would have done it if I didn't fight back."
"Don't say such stupid words, their father and son deserve it if they use any means." Coppernah continued.
Haoyue looked at Lang Ri with concern, "Your wound is still bleeding, does it hurt?" Lang Ri shook his head and looked at Qi Jige with resentment. Why didn't you stop us from the beginning? Lang Ri asked in his heart.
Qi Jige seemed to understand what Langri meant. He touched his head, "Come on, I want to show your name to my tribe members, you are the winner."
Qi Jige pulled Langri to the front of the stage and raised his hand, "Langri won this game, and he will be our next leader of the wolf-slaying clan."
Someone was already cheering below.
"As for Hada, their father and son are responsible for their own fault. We, the wolf-slayer, abandoned these shameful behaviors." Qi Jige said sternly.
Lang Ri suddenly pulled his hand back, and Qi Jige was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what was going on.
"I'm sorry, Master," Lang Ri took a step back and bowed respectfully to Qi Jige, "I can't be this leader." After that, he jumped down from the platform, and the crowd immediately dispersed to make a way for Lang Ri.
A woman holding a child was beside him. The boy of a few years old shouted sweetly when he saw Lang Ri, "Uncle."
Langri glanced at him, squeezed out a bitter smile and left.
There is only one color at the night of the wolf-slaying tribe, which is dark blue. The blue night sky like ink completely conceals the heat of yellow sand during the day. The sun lies on the sand dunes and looks up at the sky. The stars are as bright as jewelry, arranged in an orderly manner in the sky.
Langri had a pot of good wine at hand, but he couldn't taste it. This was Langri's first time drinking wine. He never expected that in the next few years, in addition to the wolf-slaying sword, this thing would always be with him.
"Are you okay?" He was very familiar with his voice from behind.
Langri did not get up, Haoyue sat down beside him, holding her knees with her hands and curled up beside him.
Langri shook his head, "Not good, very bad."
"Hadda's death has nothing to do with you, why do you attribute this to yourself?"
Langri sat up without saying a word, picked up the wine pot, raised his head and drank the wine.
"If the flying knife shot to you, their father and son, would not live, because I would kill them." Haoyue pulled Langri over and asked him to face him. Langri saw Haoyue's sea-blue eyes, which blended with the color of the sky at this moment.
"Why did it become like this? This deviates from my original intention. I neither want to be a leader nor cause trouble. I didn't expect Hada and the others to hate me so much and actually wanted to kill me. Although I know now, I still don't want them to die."
"So you are Langri, so only you are qualified to be the future leader of the Wolf Slayer clan." Haoyue raised her voice, "Senior Brother, did you say you want to become powerful, right?"
Langri nodded.
"You promised me to protect me, right?" Haoyue asked again.
Langri dared not look into Haoyue's eyes, but nodded after pausing for a moment.
"You can't lie to me, because I will take every word you say seriously."
"Haoyue," Langri had never seen Haoyue have such a look, and faced himself in this way, "I won't lie to you. I said I would become stronger, and I said I would definitely become stronger. I said I would definitely protect you. From the past to now and even in the future, I will do it. However, I never thought of being the leader." Langri's voice lowered, and he continued to lean back and lay on the yellow sand.
"If you have sex, you will become terrible. Do you still remember what I was like in the beginning? When you saw me, as a slave, I was covered in ragged clothes, dirty and torn queued up to receive so little pitiful food every day, which was caused by the expansion of sex."
