Flickering the blood off from the sword on his hands, Shao Cheng has swiftly put it back on the sheath of his swords before leaping off and running after the young man that is far more dangerous aside from the other people that are after them.

Shao Cheng is far more interested and alert toward this person than anyone else, it might be because he has almost died by his hand in the previous life, or because he was remarkably skilled that Shao Cheng truly wanted the young man to work by his side.

Such talent and capability, Shao Cheng needed to build his own people once more, and this time, a better one that can be trusted to fulfill their own job and a person that can offer their own comprehensive and good advice without him worrying all about the problems that he will face later on.

Especially when Shao Cheng has earlier times in this world than the previous life where most of the great people with talent has already have their own master to follow.

After all, rather than having people that he has threatened to work for him, people who didn't have another opportunity but to choose him, people with hidden motives and greedy people he has used, Shao Cheng prefers truly faithful and loyal followers by his side.

However, no matter how much he want this person, if Dai turned out to be a great danger to Ren Yuan and to the people that he will care and protect in this world, then cutting off the threat so early on is something that Shao Cheng will not hesitate to do.

Innocent people or not, it doesn't matter one bit, Shao Cheng needed to remove any danger around him.

So with those thoughts in mind, Shao Cheng who has killing intent in his heart has once more engage in another combat with Dai that has finally stopped in a certain location that is full of more rocky areas rather than having trees and grass.

While inwardly noticing upon the roaring sound of fighting where Ren Yuan direction was coming from which has been quickly moving toward his direction nonstop.

Shao Cheng knew that he has been lured away, while his mind has swiftly flashed numerous speculations about what the main leader of the attack is trying to arrange and plot for even trying to make him appear in this location.

"... My Leader wanted to offer you the chance to work for the family we serve."

Raising his eyebrow at the sudden word of Dai while blocking the kick to his waist and turning around to give his own swing that has easily been evaded, Shao Cheng toes meet the large rock lightly before springing up once more to give a blow after blow to the other person that easily match his every movements and action.

Is that person wanting to manipulate, threaten, or trying to control him with the life of his older brother in order to make him accept the offer?

No… they will not stop killing his older brother just because of wanting him to serve their family, even though being able to create poison is great to have but Shao Cheng already understood the attitude of the person that he has been fighting in strategy the whole time.

In which that person will never have thought that idea unless...

"... you didn't reveal who I am?"

After all, able to kill the somehow famous Shao Cheng which is basically known to be loved by the Shao Family will be incomparably beneficial in causing a greater impact on the Shao Family along with his older brother death.

"..."

Seeing that he didn't receive a reply, Shao Cheng felt a bit surprised and pleased at the sudden circumstances, although the matter between them still remains difficult and complex, but at least he has a chance to get this person on his side.

So, another observation if he is a person that deserves to be followed and serve right? Alright, Shao Cheng accepts it, at least, he can understand the fact that he has also needed to show that he has the capability, talent, and aptitude to be a worthy person to follow.

With a gentle smile underneath his face mask, Shao Cheng has once more move in an abnormal speed, strength, and power, this time he has swiftly leap over a rock to get into a higher place before stamping his feet causing his entire body to flip over backward in a long arch.

While his long black hair and black robes chaotically sways around him Shao Cheng calmly stare at the young man that was in a lower height than him.

And with his head facing downward, Shao Cheng has quickly descended down while swiftly taking his sheath without taking the swords out into his hands and using it to strike away on Dai lift hands that tried to intercept his decisive attack while his left leg that has moved at the same time has executed a graceful arc toward Dai with a speed that he couldn't follow and evade.

Soon, Shao Cheng heard the satisfying crack of bone-breaking when his left leg hit the young man's left shoulder, snapping it severely but not enough to cause permanent damage, after all, Shao Cheng just want to show his ability right now, which is beat the shit out of this person.

Although, Shao Cheng was also administering some sort of punishment for causing so much trouble from before along with what this person has done in the previous life with his older brother incident.

Even if the young man one knee slightly bends over from the powerful strength of his attack, Shao Cheng continues without showing an ounce of mercy on dealing with Dai this time as he quickly appeared next to the side of a grunting Dai and has once more kicked the person sideway in which the sound of broken ribs have soon followed after.

And in the exact moment, as Dai's body sail over toward the forested area, another large and taller body that has a nasty-looking weapon which resembles a sharp claw on his hands has appeared in the same place that Dai was flying over.

Only the new person is flying in the complete opposite direction from where Shao Cheng has kicked Dai away.

Tilting his head to the side and blinking his eyes, Shao Cheng watched when another figure has quickly appeared from inside the deep forest that has swiftly and ruthlessly slash downward with his sword toward the man that remains up in the air without any single hesitation, only for the tall man to skillfully block the attack despite his uncertain circumstances.

However, the figure that has made the attack has simply and swiftly moved his assault in another form and style, which is completely unpredictably to follow up along with unbelievable precision and control of his actions, causing his sword to easily pierce the tall man chest.

Fortunately for that injured man though, he managed to save his heart from being stab, thus losing his life.

"...!"

And all everything has happened in just few seconds, Shao Cheng couldn't help but praise the newest person excellent performances which didn't even waste any time to observed the surrounding area around him with a quick glance.

In which Shao Cheng has soon met the person piercing, ruthless, and basically a wild beast type of gaze with a cold look of his own.

Soon the person's entire attention entirely focuses on Shao Cheng while stepping into the person's body along with the sword still stab into him.

Although, Shao Cheng has made a swift action with his hand causing his long sleeves to gracefully sway up when he rapidly shots the spying birds that have been flying in the sky the entire time, with the hidden arrowhead inside his robes, completely taking the animals lives as they drop dead into the ground.

"Whitey?"

Shao Cheng attention has once more went back to the man that is wearing black clothes along with a silver mask on his face, although he heard the unusual hoarse voice that brim with bloodthirst while having a heavy murderous aura wrapped around his entire body, nevertheless, Shao Cheng has easily nodded his head in a reply.

Completely showing absolute ease with his body movement along with a relaxed atmosphere the whole time because Shao Cheng isn't a single bit surprised from the completely sudden dark and terrifying side of Ren Yuan that is standing before him.

"... Bloods… are you hurt?"

Detecting the hint of worry from the ominous tone of Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng just shook his head before peering down at the man that has swiftly jump away when the person underneath him that has suddenly made an attack.

In which Ren Yuan has easily evaded while not forgetting to drag the swords in a rough manner that has caused the enemy to receive more severe injuries.

Disregarding the harsh sound of their enemy groaning of pain, Shao Cheng checks Ren Yuan's body in which has instantly cause his voice to turned freezingly cold when he saw some slight injuries upon him.

"It's not mine... Are you alright?"

"Oh that's good… and I'm fine…"

In the corner of his eyes, Shao Cheng saw the way that Dai has eyed Ren Yuan in a startled manner before sharply glancing at the severely injured person with a dark look on his eyes.

Dai has probably assumed that Shao Cheng was the one that has the possibility of killing the injured person before him, in which from what he comprehends is the Leader of the entire attack so far and someone that Dai definitely want dead.

Really, Ren Yuan is far scarier when the man decided to absolutely become serious alright?

Although the body that Shao Cheng is using is extremely gifted in martial arts along with having such a wonderful mind, basically a blessed body, yet Ren Yuan is a far more terrifying person than him.

After all, in the previous life if Shao Cheng can exchange his life to take the man down with him in order to remove the danger from the people he cared about then he would have done that from the start.

In the art of fighting in physical combat, Ren Yuan is far superior in that area.

Really, it was one of the reasons why despite wanting to desperately beat the man to death, Shao Cheng was unable to fulfill that certain wish of his.

"You! What did you do! Why is my internal energy so chaotic!? I carefully avoided all of your hidden traps! There shouldn't be any lingering drug left after letting those people check the entire area."

Grunting in pain, especially from the blood loss, Dong sharply glares up at the person that has been standing on top of a tall rock before speaking in a harsh commanding voice at the person that can only help him now.

"And Dai! Come here to protect and assist me!"

"Yes... Master Dong."

Suddenly, Shao Cheng turned his attention at the screaming 'Master' Dong from what Dai has called the man for, before jumping down from where he has been standing the entire time as he looks down at the people.

And with his black-robed swishing in the air while the red ribbon that has been tied up to his hair seemed to finally give up in that exact moment since it was unable to handle the strain from the fighting he has been performing any longer causing Shao Cheng long black hair to sway gracefully behind his slender figure.

While softly falling down, Shao Cheng appearance was so fascinating beautiful despite how the black robe on his body is drenched in blood, even to his hair and face, but to the eyes of Ren Yuan that has quickly flash over to where the young man is falling down, he couldn't help but become unconsciously enthralled at the young man graceful form.

It wasn't surprising when a quick flash of unknown emotion has appeared on his peach blossom grey eyes that have been dark and terrifying the whole time while the bloodthirst inside him couldn't help but lessen up a bit as he stares upon the young man that has finally reach the ground to raised his head over to gaze upon him with his cold gaze that has swiftly turned soft as soon as their eyes met each other.

Suddenly Ren Yuan couldn't help but reach over at the young man slightly wet hair that was drenched with the blood of others before carefully removing it when it suddenly blocks the young man's beautiful soft eyes.

Somehow, Ren Yuan wants to keep gazing upon those beautiful pupils that emit such strong trust over him, before unconsciously whispering in a soft voice while unknowingly tenderly fixing Shao Cheng hair in a tidy manner.

"... we need a stronger hair tie later on…"

"... Ok…"
