"Papa Bug!!! Kill the nasty man! It dares to put such a filthy pest to Mama Bug body!"

Before Shao Cheng has arrived where Ren Yuan has been, the purple dragon's furious voice rang loudly in his head and has easily caused his heart to thump louder than ever while the hard tile of a building rooftop he has just stepped on has easily broken apart from too much strength place on it.

"... filthy pest…?"

Shao Cheng didn't even need a few seconds to think regarding what the purple dragon has spoken about while his sapphire pupil has become more chilling than usual before completely letting the purple aura chaotically swirl within him to the point that he was unable to have his usual perfect control.

Crack… Crack… Crack…

Shao Cheng completely disregards the sound of something breaking apart every single time he took a step as his body speedily rushed over to where Ren Yuan has been facing a martial art expert that is known as a sinister person in the river and lake with his black clothes swaying chaotically on his slender body.

There is only one thought running in his mind, and that was to fuck up the person that is definitely trying to take control of Ren Yuan's body for the person's purpose and motives.

Those disgusting pests… dared to enter that man's body?

For some reason, Shao Cheng felt angry at the mere thought of it to the point that he gritted his teeth before kicking the hard plank on his feet causing his slender body to quickly leap over the building where there is a wider area of an alleyway in just a few step away.

Crack!

"Damn, which stupid person is revealing their killing intent so stupidly and openly like this?"

"... the stupid person that is going to kill you."

While still in the air with the wide alley underneath him, Shao Cheng coldly stares at the tall man that was holding a nasty looking whip with a small spike on it and has obviously have detected his presence a long time ago.

Well, it's not like Shao Cheng was trying to hide his presence since it didn't matter whether the tall man knows of his arrival.

"...W-Whitey!"

"Haah… another foolish person to deal with."

This time, Shao Cheng didn't reply back while completely ignoring the shocked voice of Ren Yuan that appeared to be having a hard time even uttering such a single word, in which he can easily predict that there is no way that he will be able to have a calm mind after taking a glimpse of the man state, fortunately, Purple was already by the man side giving him a bit of relief.

This is the reason why Shao Cheng dreaded and worries about producing a stronger emotion in a romantic way more than a familial one.

Shao Cheng definitely believes the quote on earth about love being blind, if familial love can make one go crazy and protective, then how crazier will it be when it comes to a person with a romantic feeling?

Despite worrying about such a matter, Shao Cheng didn't stop as his body almost reaching down in the ground, which is a few distances away from the tall person who has confidently turned away from the already paralyze Ren Yuan that wouldn't be able to easily cause danger.

Showing one back to the enemy is definitely taboo, however, there are always strong and powerful people who will do it when facing a weaker enemy, which the tall man seemed to be one of them.

Rather than doing it because of being conceited, most experts do it because of their pride and belief in their ability.

Something that Shao Cheng who has been once weak and vulnerable in such a ruthless world wouldn't ever do.

So, even though it wasn't good for Shao Cheng to be using his internal energy along with the purple aura, especially when he was still injured and getting better from sickness but he is simply angry to consider such a matter especially when he wasn't going to die because of it.

As for the troubling filthy pest the Gu Martial expert, there is no need for Shao Cheng to be concerned about such disturbing martial skill label as evil in the river and lake because he has something powerful that can make such Gu expert ability become completely useless in his new life.

If the purple aura can make a dangerous beast obedient and tame, how could a mere pest fight against it?

Swish, Swish, Swish...

Shao Cheng's hands have swiftly shot numerous tiny silver needle toward the tall man that was about to use the dangerous whip toward him and despite the fact that he was able to stop the enemy attack, the tall man has just smile wickedly as he uses the weapon in his hand to swiftly blocked the tiny silver needle and even carelessly sweeping away Shao Cheng another next attack.

"Ah...youngsters these days always assumed that they are always better…"

A certain light flashes in Shao Cheng's eyes while completely ignoring the enemy's condescending voice, he didn't overlook the swift slashed the whip in his direction at the same time that his feet have landed on the ground, the enemy completely timing the attack where he would be hit even after having a slight time to evade it.

Although the enemy would have never considered what Shao Cheng's next action will be.

"... what…"

Underneath the mask, Shao Cheng's lip has gently raised up while his left hands have decisively caught the oncoming whip and skilly letting it wrapped around his arms despite the ripping sound of his sleeves along with droplets of blood that are starting to leak from the small cuts he has gotten from the small spikes upon it.

And without giving enough time for the enemy to even contemplate while ignoring the shocked gasp of Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng has powerful kicked the ground to directly leap toward the tall man while at the same time using all his strength to pull the man to meet him.

Injuring himself to shocked his enemy and letting their guard down even for a split second simply remind Shao Cheng of something he has done in his early years in the previous life.

"... Fool, you are weaker than I am and you want to fight physically and in close combat?"

Rather than stopping himself from being pulled toward the sudden young man wearing black clothing that has appeared, the tall man has let out a nasty smile while his eyes flash in ruthlessness as he got closer with his internal energy boiling to kill the enemy.

"Aside from ability, talent, and skill, the internal energy is the most important matter when martial arts fight against each other… you are still too young."

"... right?"

Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes swiftly turned darker as it basically glowed in dark purple color, which the purple dragon was able to only see, while an enormous purple aura has wrapped around both of his arms and hands and simply directly punching in the man left chest without any useless or flashy movement in his attack.

While the enemy has grins wildly at the same time his arms has aim to punch with the idea of overpowering him.

Shortly, the sound of a bone-breaking has resounded out before being followed by a skin puncturing.

Cough…

Shao Cheng has made a soft noise while feeling the throbbing pain in his left arms that has fully blocked the man attacked while at the same time his hand was tightly gripping the hand that has swiftly attack him again after blocking it once, although, he has to sacrifice his fingers to fully stop it, which definitely has been broken.

When facing martial experts, weak or strong doesn't matter at all since Shao Cheng always fights as his life depends on it, although such thought is only fitting in his second life since he has already become numb and wasn't afraid of dying at the miraculous chance given to him.

Well, he will still act the same way and just changing the fear of his life to the fear of losing the people he cared about.

"... such… lunatic… cough..."

Suddenly, the tall man has spoken in utter disbelief with wide shocked eyes before slowly lowering his head down to see a hand directly puncturing his left chest, only stopping on his broken ribs, unable to pierce deeper when their energy has tried to overwhelm each other.

Heh… I lost…?

"...trick… cough… and tactic is also included."

For the weak him in the previous life… Shao Cheng also has learned to fight dirty and use deceitful deeds in order to win so that he could survive.

Half-truth and half-lie is always the best action to deceive a sharp person.

It is the reason why Shao Cheng has openly displayed the image of an unskillful person unable to control himself seemingly angry that the person he wanted to save is in grave danger.

While using the small silver needle to test out how strong the man's internal energy is after considering that Ren Yuan is facing a martial expert since he couldn't use his usual drugs or poison as easily when facing one of the well known unorthodox people in the river and lake.

After all, the Gu expert is well known to have an unusual body that couldn't be easily affected by terrible drugs.

Before displaying the appearance of a young man using a desperate measure to win against a stronger enemy by showing the attitude of uncaring of receiving injury and has the attitude of taking the enemy down with his life as a last result.

Everything was connected in order to lower the tall man guard down, even if it's for a tiny bit, especially in order to get closer to finish everything in a swift and fast motion since a prolonged fight wouldn't be a good choice in Ren Yuan terrible situation, especially when he too wasn't in a healthy state to be fighting.

"...Heheh… you too… are sinister... Huh…"

"... I don't lower my guard down until my enemy is dead… your pest won't work with me…."

"...Urgh…!"

Shao Cheng's chilling gaze didn't change one bit even if the tall man has thrown up a lot of blood that has stained his black robe and the black cloth covering his face.

… there was no need to pity and show mercy to an enemy.

So even if the tall man has finally shown fear in his eyes, Shao Cheng didn't stop his right hands from being wrapped in the purple aura which is easily stopping the pest from making a move even if it was being ordered by the person that has raised it.

In every Gu Expert, the reason why they are troublesome to deal with is the fact that no one could easily tell what kind of pest they are raising, especially when the Gu expert tends to store the main pest inside their body, causing everyone having a hard time locating which vital part they need to attack them.

However, to Shao Cheng who can detect the aura of life of every living being, it was quite easy to locate where this Gu expert has place his main pest was.

"... the heart…"

While murmuring those words out, Shao Cheng has directly pushed his right hands to the already broken ribs of the tall man's chest, his raise lip underneath the mask didn't even twitch while ruthlessly and bloodily reaching over to the man's heart.

Even when hearing the disturbing queasy sounds while feeling the tall man's skin, bone, and flesh with his own hands isn't enough to stop him from such brutal actions.

Shao Cheng's cruel and unfeeling appearance has completely shown the image of the kind of person he has become, and at the same time, displaying the main reason why he has been greatly feared and respected when he was in power.

However, the most important reason why Shao Cheng is doing such a disturbing action without worrying about his images was all for the sake of one man, it was to quickly deal any unusual effect from occurring or being given unexpected status because of having a pest in one body.

So when Li Shi and everyone else has finally arrived, they can only stand frozen while witnessing a gory sight of a slender figure right hand directly pushing deeper in a tall man chest, the squelching sound of flesh and blood causing the hair in the back of their neck to raise up along with goosebumps appearing in their arms.

"... got it…"

Shao Cheng has softly murmur before pulling his right hand back and slightly raising it over to gaze a still-beating heart over his palm while the tall man's body can only helplessly fall to the side as the life in his eyes was quickly disappearing.

And without any hesitation, Shao Cheng has quickly squeezed the beating and bloody heart that is carrying a small redworm bug inside it with the life aura completely disappearing from his vision.

After making sure that the tall man is dead along with the main bug in the heart, Shao Cheng has simply thrown the remaining bloody part of the heart in the ground.

… there is one more important action to do, then everything is finished.

Feeling a bit better after knowing that the danger to Ren Yuan is eliminated, Shao Cheng has finally able to turn his gaze on Ren Yuan without worrying about losing reason, only to freeze over after seeing the man wide eyes gaze that has easily and quickly reminded him of the bloody and cruel performance he has done a moment ago.

"..."

"..."

Purple... tell me how to proceed???
