Because "Young Hercules" was aimed at a younger audience, some rules to the dialogue had to be adhered to. Villains couldn't use the word "kill" when making threats, so they had to be a little more creative. Here is a list of the many ways the word "kill" was subverted.
"We have something called Broadcast Standards and Practices. HERC and Xena don't have to deal with that but we do. Understandably so. They don't want children to imitate our characters in the schoolyard and say "I'm going to kill you." That's true, our dialogue has to be tweaked in that way. Ares can't say "kill" or "stupid" or other clinical terms like "idiot", "moron", or "retard". We can get away with a "kill" in a context like "He was killed". We can't say it as a threat." - Cynthia Hsiung, Producer of "Young Hercules", Whoosh Interview with Cynthia Hsiung - 1999.
The 'kill's that got through the censors...
"Kill me, and another Centaur will take my place." - Cheiron, (1.12 - Battle Lines II)
"I didn't... I did not try to kill you, okay?" - Ares, (1.15 - Ares on Trial)
"And, uh-uh, at any point in your day, did you hear Ares, you know, sort of talk about trying to kill me?" - Hercules, (1.15 - Ares on Trial)
"Oh! So, what you're trying to say is that it's not unusual to, um, to, uh, hear Ares talk about trying to kill me?" - Hercules, (1.15 - Ares on Trial)
"Because today, he actually did try to kill you." - Discord, (1.15 - Ares on Trial)
1.03 - What a Crockery
"Thank you for the chance to destroy Hercules." - Ares
"When you grabbed Hera's chalice, you lost Daddy's protection, and now, I can destroy you." - Ares
