"I just asked because I couldn't see your high and mighty attitude. And where is that arrogance of yours?"    

Su Lang smiled and leisurely walked towards Ye Liang. It would have been way less threatening had he not been dragging his blood-stained sword towards Ye Liang, all while wearing a straight face.    

"I-I..."    

"I was wrong...I'll even kneel before you!"    

"Please forgive me; I don't want to die!"    

Ye Liang decided to throw away all his dignity and honor when faced with death.    

He knelt before Su Lang and bowed till his head touched the ground, an incredibly humiliating act. But pride wasn't going to keep him alive, now was it?    

"Your family, the mighty Ye family, killed my parents."    

"That wasn't enough for you guys; you wanted to kill me too."    

"Sixth young master, do you think I'll spare you after all that?"    

Su Lang's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.    

"I-I am willing to compensate you!"    

"I have a lot of gold coins... and Spirit Stones!"    

Ye Liang hurriedly took out some Spirit Stones from his personal and then opened the box beside him.    

Without any delay, he took the medicinal Spirit Stones in one hand and the box with gold coins in the other. Still kneeling, he raised both his hands above his head and submissively offered them to Su Lang.    

However, the corner of Su Lang's mouth curled up. He remained unmoved, appearing incomparably cold and ruthless.    

"Please!"    

"I will be your dog. I am your slave dog!"    

"Please! Please... spare me... spare this slave dog's life!"    

Dong Dong Dong!    

Ye Liang had completely given up on his pride. He kept banging his head on the ground, performing one kowtow after the other. His face was filled with blood, snot, tears: he didn't look like the handsome young master anymore.    

No one would say that the current Ye Liang was once an arrogant young master.    

He displayed such a contrast that even Lu Gong, someone who had followed Ye Liang for a long time, was stunned.    

"Are you enjoying the show?"    

Su Lang shot a glance at Lu Gong and asked sarcastically.    

"N-No!"    

Lu Gong's body trembled in extreme fear. He immediately knelt down and prostrated on the ground without as much as making a sound.    

In a situation so hopeless, he could only beg for mercy.    

"Actually, you guys aren't completely worthless."    

"If you can give me what I want, showing a bit of leniency wouldn't be off the table."    

Su Lang looked down at the prostrating Ye Liang and Lu Gong.    

His words gave them hope, one they weren't expecting.    

"Master, what do you want? As long as I can give it to you, I will give it to you!"    

Ye Liang raised his head and looked at Su Lang, eyes full of hope.    

"Me too!"    

Lu Gong, too, moved towards Su Lang's leg and kowtowed.    

"In that case, first, write down all the techniques you know."    

Su Lang chuckled and threw out two pens and a few blank books.    

Before even entering the fight, Su Lang was already coveting their techniques.    

Although he had the system function—Perfect Plunder—it couldn't steal techniques from his opponent's mind.    

Su Lang got the Broken Axe Hunting Group's guard's technique because the guard had written it down and always carried the copy on his body.    

Ever since then, Su Lang had kept some pens and notebooks for situations like these.    

"I-I will write it now!"    

Ye Liang picked up the pen and book with trembling hands and began writing on it.    

Lu Gong wasn't an exception, so he, too, began writing the cultivation techniques he practiced.    

As for Su Lang, he just sat there on the sofa and looked at them as they wrote their cultivation techniques down. He felt like an invigilator watching a bunch of rude kids.    

About half an hour later, Ye Liang and Lu Gong were finally done with the writing.    

"Are you done? Give it to me!"    

Su Lang waved his hand, and they immediately stood to give him the book.    

In total, both of them had written six cultivation techniques. According to the property panel, they had four cultivation techniques. The extra two most likely came from their memory.    

Presumably, Ye Liang and Lu Gong memorized the techniques but were unable to practice and execute them.    

"Hmm. Good. Originally, I planned on making you suffer a fate worse than death."    

"However, after considering your performance, I tweaked the plan a little."    

Su Lang stood up and pulled out the shiny Tang Blade with a smile. "Now, I'll give you guys a swift death."    

"Ah?"    

"Yo-you said... let us— let me off!"    

Ye Liang's body trembled. He was so scared that he couldn't even speak properly.    

"Ha, I never said. I said I'll treat you leniently."    

Su Lang sneered, "I have a blood feud with your family, so giving you a swift death is me being kind towards you."    

"You liar! You cheating bastard! "    

"Lu Gong, quick, protect me. It'll give me a chance to escape."    

"If I manage to escape, I'll definitely reward your family handsomely for your service."    

It didn't take long for Ye Liang to realize that staying here meant certain death, so he jumped ships.    

Yet, he miscalculated something—Lu Gong had long since lost his will to fight.    

"Please spare my life, my lord. Ye Liang is the one in charge of everything!"    

"I have never participated in any decision-making. I was just a slave to the Ye family. I am willing to cut ties with Ye Liang and the Ye Family. Please, just spare my life!"    

While Ye Liang was shouting and insulting, Lu Gong was still prostrating on the ground. His eyes were filled with fear and pleading.    

"Lu Gong..."    

When the already desperate Ye Liang saw the scene, he felt his breathing stop.    

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!"    

Su Lang raised the Tang Blade high up in the air, and a trace of delight appeared on his face. "Take it; here comes my revenge."    

"No!"
