On the Ark.

Ying Jie's feet slipped, and the sudden gravitational pull dragged him backward, causing his sure-fire sneak attack to fail cleanly. A burst of bullets flew past Lin Ye's head, then all struck the wall behind him. At the same time, Lin Ye was also pulled closer to Ying Jie by the shockwave.

Soon, their bodies were almost pressed together. This was the final moment of their clash, but Lin Ye held the Lu Lu sword tightly in his hand, while Ying Jie had just abandoned his knife. The outcome was obvious: with the help of inertia, the Lu Lu sword easily pierced Ying Jie's body, pinning him firmly to the wall behind him in Ying Jie's horrified gaze.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Ying Jie let out a painful and desperate roar. Normally, a pierced abdomen wouldn't be a serious injury to a dragon. However, within the dragon-sealing power contained in the Deer-Slaying Sword, Ying Jie clearly felt his life force rapidly draining away. He instinctively raised his hand, then tightly gripped Lin Ye's neck, using his last strength to roar.

"Let go! Let go of me!"

Lin Ye was almost suffocated by the final burst of power from Ying Jie, but he endured it and did not let go. Instead, he twisted the Lu Lu sword with all his might. The broad bronze blade spun around Ying Jie's abdomen.

Ying Jie's eyes widened.

"How dare you, how dare you... I am a prince!" Ying Jie roared in despair, "I am the future emperor of the Great Yan, and you, you lowly human! How dare you, how dare you..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

The powerful dragon seal drained Ying Jie's remaining life force in an instant.

Dragon blood splattered out, mixing with the rainwater.

Ying Jie stared blankly at the sky, his pupils gradually dilating.

He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

I need to take leave.

I'm about to finish this volume, so I'm taking a break to think about how to write the next one.

The original plan was to write three or four more volumes, but now it seems unnecessary, so the next volume might be the final one. Thank you all for your support!

One hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words.

Chapter 588 Skadi, I Like You

Lin Ye never expected that he would kill Ying Jie in this way, just as he never expected that Ying Jie would be so powerful.

Right now, Ying Jie is definitely dead, that's for sure. The Dragon Sealing Power contained in the Deer-Lu Sword seems to be evaporating all the blood from Ying Jie's body. But Ying Jie's hand is still on his neck, giving Lin Ye the illusion that he is not dead yet and is still trying to take his life.

After painstakingly pulling the sword from Ying Jie's corpse, even the mighty dragon could no longer stand without its support, slowly collapsing to its knees, its dragon blood staining the wall behind it red. Lin Ye had also reached his limit. As the Leaping Wave Strike faded, a wave of powerlessness washed over him. He had to use the Deer-Slaying Sword to support himself, lest he fall like Ying Jie, but even so, his legs trembled violently.

Although Lin Ye longed to sit down and rest for a while, he knew very well that now was definitely not the time. The Imperial Guards would definitely come to check on Ying Jie's condition as soon as they discovered the building had collapsed. In that case, given Lin Ye's current physical state, he would have no choice but to surrender.

Therefore, we must leave quickly.

Thinking this, Lin Ye straightened up, but the battle had left him covered in wounds. Trying to be strong only made him unable to stand, causing him to fall to one side. Because of the earthquake, which had tilted the entire venue, Lin Ye was likely to fall out of the venue and be smashed to pieces. Having survived Ying Jie's attack, Lin Ye was now facing certain death from the fall.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

A hand pulled him back just as he was about to fall into the abyss.

Lin Ye raised his head and saw those red pupils that were all too familiar to him.

"Skadi..."

Skadi supported Lin Ye, but did not say anything.

Lin Ye looked up at the rain gradually subsiding overhead, suddenly guessed something, and asked, "You've been here for a while?"

Skadi didn't deny it, and gave a soft "hmm".

"You've been watching all along?"

"Ah."

"Then why don't you make a move?"

"Do you want me to take action?" Skadi countered.

Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since you're asking like this, I really don't want you to get involved. It's fine if it's someone else, but I still want to handle this person myself."

"I guessed it."

"You could guess all of this?" Lin Ye said. "You're so enigmatic."

Skadi did not speak.

But Lin Ye wanted to speak, so he asked again, "But are you really just going to stand by and watch? Aren't you worried at all?"

What are you worried about?

"I'm worried that guy will kill me," Lin Ye said.

"I'm not too worried."

"Why?" Lin Ye asked. "He's a dragon."

"You are Lin Ye."

Lin Ye's eyes widened slightly.

He originally thought Skadi would say something like, "Ying Jie is a dragon, and you are a primitive human. Primitive humans are a much more powerful race than dragons," but he never expected Skadi to say something like, "You are Lin Ye."

This statement is as if to say, even if you are not a native human, even if you cannot draw the Deer-Lu Sword, I still believe you can kill the dragon clan, simply because you are Lin Ye.

This left Lin Ye speechless. Normally a master of witty banter, he was utterly at a loss for words at this moment. He could only think to himself: "Skadi, isn't that a foul? How can you talk like that? It's simply...it's simply..."

Lin Ye said with a wry smile, "You have more confidence in me than I do in myself."

Skadi didn't reply, but simply supported Lin Ye as they walked quietly in the rain.

As the aftereffects of Leaping Wave surged up like a tide, Lin Ye felt his consciousness growing increasingly blurred, and his vision becoming increasingly unclear. He knew he was probably about to pass out again, so in his final moments before losing consciousness, he turned to look at Skadi and softly said...

"It's so good to have you by my side."

……

Twenty minutes later, Messiah looked at Skadi, who had carried Lin Ye out, and smiled: "Is it all over?"

Skadi nodded.

Ying Li, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but rush over to check on Lin Ye's condition and asked anxiously, "How is he?"

"Just exhausted," Skadi said. "I'll be fine after a rest."

"Then... what about Ying Jie?" Ying Li bit her lip tightly.

"died."

Ying Li's expression became complicated. She wasn't lamenting Ying Jie's passing; their relationship was terrible, worse than strangers. But she was also well aware of the trouble Ying Jie's death would bring. After all, unlike her, Ying Jie was the most favored son of the Yan Kingdom's emperor; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted his imperial guards to him.

The consequences of the emperor finding out that Yingjie had been murdered are unimaginable.

Skadi seemed to guess what Ying Li was thinking and said, "I hid that person's body."

"Hidden?" Ying Li asked. "Where is it hidden?"

“In the ocean,” Skadi said softly. “No one will find him.”

Hide it in the ocean?

Ying Li was puzzled because the South District was also threatened by the tsunami after the North and East Districts were evacuated. However, the tsunami ultimately failed to make landfall in the South District, remaining a short distance away until the very last moment. How then did Skadi manage to hide Ying Jie's body in the sea? Ying Li highly doubted the veracity of this statement.

But now, even if she suspected that Ying Jie's body hadn't been disposed of, there was nothing she could do. From the moment Lin Ye decided to go find Ying Jie, she was already powerless. Even though she tried to stop Lin Ye then, she was deterred by his words, "Five years ago you protected me, five years later it's my turn to protect you."

That sentence made Ying Li realize that although she had lost her memories, her brother hadn't changed at heart; he was still the same "idiot" who would rush to bite anyone who bullied him. Only this time, he really did bite Ying Jie to death.

“I think it would be better to leave the small talk for later,” Warfarin said. “The Imperial Guards will be back soon. Regardless of whether the Second Prince’s body can be found, we have to leave. It would be best to leave the city now.”

"But how do we get out of the city now?"

“Leave this to me.” A deep, magnetic male voice rang out from behind the group. “Kalan Trading is willing to serve you.”

Chapter 589 Siblings (Part 1)

Lin Ye woke up amidst the turbulence.

As he slowly opened his eyes, he heard a magnetic male voice in his ear: "My ally, you've finally woken up."

Lin Ye felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar, so he turned his head and saw Silver Gray sitting next to him.

"Mr. Silver Grey?" Lin Ye asked in surprise, his voice hoarse, "What are you doing here?"

SilverAsh said, "My ally doesn't need to use honorifics with me; we're friends."

"Is that so?" Lin Ye felt a heaviness in his chest, as if something was pressing down on it. He looked down at his chest and saw Ying Li sleeping on his chest. "Ying Li... what are you doing here? Are we still in Luo City?"

SilverAsh shook his head and said, "No, we're no longer in Los Angeles. After all, we caused such a huge mess, don't you agree?"

Lin Ye gave a wry smile: "What exactly happened? Why...why are you here?"

“I am here as a specially invited business guest, representing the president of Karan Trading, to offer my congratulations to Princess Yan on her wedding,” SilverAsh said. “So I am here.”

"I thought you came looking for the Messiah."

“I don’t deny that,” SilverAsh said. “And this matter is far more important than the last one.”

Sure enough.

Lin Ye asked, "What about Messiah? And... Skadi and the others?"

"Don't worry, everyone else is in another vehicle, right in front of us," SilverAsh said. "This vehicle has a medical room, which is why you're resting here. However, Your Highness... your sister is too worried about you, so she's here too."

Is that so?

Lin Ye looked at Ying Li again. He wasn't sure if it was because of blood ties, but he felt some affection for this suddenly appearing younger sister; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to cause trouble for Ying Jie for her sake. Ying Li, meanwhile, looked exhausted, as if she hadn't rested in a long time. Lin Ye's conversation with Silver Ash hadn't woken her.

"What time is it now?" Lin Ye asked again.

“You probably don’t remember the exact date,” SilverAsh said. “We left Los Angeles five hours ago. Los Angeles was already under lockdown at that time, I don’t know if it was because your brother disappeared. But I still managed to make my way in as a VIP. In fact, there were many people leaving the city at that time, so the Yan Kingdom probably wouldn’t have paid any attention to me.”

"I see. So, are we leaving Yan Kingdom next?"

SilverAsh laughed: "What, haven't you had enough of Yan Country yet? My ally."

Lin Ye said with a wry smile, "How could that be? I wish I could go back to Rhodes Island right now. Yan Country is just too dangerous."

“Really? After all what you did. But if they track you down, even Rhodes Island won’t be safe,” SilverAsh said. “How about we consider going to Kharlan? Rhodes Island can’t protect you, but I can.”

Lin Ye looked at SilverAsh: "Are you kidding me?"

“I’m not joking,” SilverAsh said calmly. “I’m making this suggestion very sincerely, and if you were in Kallan, our god probably wouldn’t be thinking of running around like that.”
