"Argh!"

Before Shao Yan can continue reminiscing about the discussion that he has with his father, the painful grunt of numerous people has woken him up and as soon as he turned his head around Shao Yan has instantly seen the way those group of people has suddenly make another move as they went to deal with his people.

"You! How dare you!"

Even though Shao Cheng has heard the shouting furious voice of his older brother, he isn't surprised one bit, especially the fact that Dai has given an order for the others on his side to go ahead and take out his older brother people.

However, the entire time, there wasn't any waver on Shao Cheng movement, while his entire expression remains eerily blank, as for the helpless death of the people that have been laughing happily from before this all has happened, his heart remain undisturbed over their death.

Because Shao Cheng knew for a fact that he will not be able to save every single one of them, while his most important priority was to protect his older brother's life, along with the important people that will be needed on his brother's side when this is all over.

After all, Shao Cheng knew the great importance of having loyal and talented subordinates by their side, and yes it might sound cold, ruthless and a cruel calculated decision for him to decide about it.

However, in this kind of world where it basically the law of a jungle in a certain manner, Shao Cheng wouldn't allow himself to be softhearted.

He will save what he can, he will let go of the people he couldn't rescue and help what he could without endangering and compromising his first priorities.

Besides, Shao Cheng's awareness around him has been split apart from the very start in order to be able and figure out any important details that are happening around him, so he already recognized Dai's actions before his older brother people were dwindling down in numbers.

Nevertheless, during on their current circumstances, Shao Cheng couldn't allow them all to die, if it's in another situation he might choose it if there are no other choices, but right now, the best way to make their current situation easier and less dangerous is for Shao Yan people to remain alive.

Besides, unlike in the past, Shao Cheng was a bit more in favor of the army soldiers that were loyal and righteous, so with the constant knife that was still being thrown on every single vital part of his body from the group of people that prefer to fight in long-range, Shao Cheng has chosen to quickly spin his body around and using his long wide sleeves to smoothly collect the knives all at once while at the same time his clothes helped stop the force of momentum on the weapons that have hit him.

The internal and purple energy combine alone was enough to make his clothes become extremely hard enough to defend and stop the weapon from penetrating his body.

And with a quick flick of his long wide sleeves in a fleeting movement, all the knives were thrown up high while spreading around a bit and creating a circular area with empty space in the middle of it all, Shao Cheng has then made a forceful leap over with his quickest speed before anyone can react on his actions.

Soon with far stronger and powerful energies that contain both within his body, Shao Cheng uses his hands, elbow, legs, and knees to hit the knives on its handle or blade which didn't matter one bit on which part he hit as they flew in certain rhythmic twirl while his body remains spinning around in a circular motion from the moves that he has just done.

And with a horrifying precision and control, every single knife that contains strong and thick energy that were wrapped into it the moment that Shao Cheng has touched it has instantly and easily managed to bypass the internal energies that were brimming in every martial arts skin on some kind of defense before easily piercing into their bodies.

In this world, martial art people that have internal energies within their bodies can only be bought down by a person who has the same internal energies, unless a normal person with a strong weapon was the one who was attacking them, they needed to keep stabbing the person's skin in order to even hurt them.

That is how horrifying the people who have internal energy were in this world and why people in power were trying to train them in secret in order to use them for their usefulness and protection.

It was one of the reasons why Shao Cheng has decided to learn how to use his internal energy in the previous life, and the reason why Ren Yuan was extremely hard to kill was because of how thick and powerful his internal energy has been.

Nevertheless, as the attack continues, the other people that have wanted to deflect the knife that was thrown their way without having enough time to dodge or escape it with just how fast the attack has come, witnesses the way that their blades that were coated with their internal energy have easily broken apart in which it didn't stop its current momentum at all as the sharp blade has managed to stab into their bodies.

Soon, every single person that has taken Shao Cheng attack was stab and pierce either into their heart, throat or forehead in which has soon has caused their bodies to the drop-down into the ground.

Thud…

Thud…

Thud...

And everything has happened in a mere few seconds, while the sound of bodies dropping down into the ground resound in certain eerily rhythmic sound, some were twitching and making a gurgling sound while the others have already died quickly.

Swish!

In a quick flash while Shao Cheng's body has started to descend down from his leap the sound of a fast-approaching object reaches his hearing along with his senses detecting danger causing Shao Cheng to instantly snapped his attention back to where the most dangerous person was standing at.

In which his sapphire pupils constricted when he suddenly saw a bunch of numerous arrows was coming on his way before the next second's Dai has quickly targeted his older Brother that was finally able to move normally, but still vulnerable from any attack as the drug effect was still working a bit.

In that split seconds, Shao Cheng has twisted his body and using the remaining knife that he has kept for any emergency after he has decided to perform the dangerous stunt a moment ago in order to quickly deal with those other people from killing everyone.

And without any hesitation, while his body was facing sideways at the oncoming arrows, Shao Cheng has thrown his knife with much force before watching in relief at the way those arrows were cut down while the splinter and force of his attack have caused the other arrows that have come next to change directions.

Although at the same time, Shao Cheng felt the way the arrows has hit his body while inwardly grunting at how powerful it was, the energies that were wrapped on his body and clothes were unable to easily defend with the attacks he receives, while at the same time has use his other hands to parry some of the arrows.

However, despite it all, there is still a limit on how much he can use the purple energies on his body while his present body only has low internal energy while Dai has always been skilled and powerful in that area, which for a fact he knew that despite being young right now, Dai was still a powerful person and to be reckoned with.

So it wasn't surprising when three arrows have managed to lodge into his body, one was to his right shoulder, arm and lastly into the hands the has been using to defend himself.

"Cheng!"
