Chapter 107: Shao Cheng Isn't A Bloodthirsty Person... But These People Sure Are Great In Waking That Rare Emotion Up.

Taking a deep breath, Shao Cheng restrains the murder that remains on his heart while trying to stop the leak of killing intent that wanted to appear as the mere thought of his older brother dying or becoming disable doesn't fail to awaken the rare feeling of his bloodthirst.

Even if he is already numb in taking people's lives and doesn't completely enjoy the mere thought of killing, nevertheless, Shao Cheng isn't so nice enough to let the enemies do whatever they wanted.

And as the last person dies out among the group of people that they needed to deal, Shao Cheng has turned around without another word and has calmly stepped over toward the person that has been silent the entire time without doing a single action while watching the entire ordeal with a serious expression.

Shao Cheng meets the man complicated eyes that revealed a resign look which has instantly brim with overwhelming hatred and resentment before speaking in a hoarse voice, seemingly haven't been spoken for a few days by just the sound of it.

"… I'll accept your terms."

And this person is Gao that has been keeping to himself the entire time and has never interacted with his ex comrade after arriving in their hideout, of course Shao Cheng has never forgotten this man's existence.

How could he do it when there is some sort of plan that has formed in his mind when he thought about this person's fate, Shao Cheng can understand the desperation and the reason why this man hasn't decisively reveal about being threatened to betray Shao Yan and what happened in the previous life was a bit different because of his sudden existence in the situation.

However, no matter what Gao's decision was Shao Cheng will not easily forget.

In the previous life, Shao Cheng is quite sure that this person has chosen to reveal himself because if he was the one who has place those medicines into his comrade foods then the outcome of Shao Yan would have been concluded to be dead instead, especially when Yu Qin wouldn't have enough time to ask for help and keeping themselves alive.

Now that Shao Cheng speculates about everything that is happening so far, Ren Yuan's presence seemed to have been intertwined with his own without knowing about it, all those important information that have been hidden in the dark are now finally revealing itself in this new life of his.

What else did that man do in secret? Shao Cheng couldn't help but wonder with a heavy heart while feeling remorse and other complicated emotions at the fact that the two of them who seemed to have walk in the same pathway has completely arrived in a different outcome.

The moment that they have turned against each other then their ending was totally diverse.

If… Shao Cheng was able to keep conscious when he first arrived in this world… then he definitely would have unquestionably sought to figure out who has truly save himself even if he only has a small clue of who the person was.

Even if the mystery of why Huang has turned out to be his savior in the previous life still remains, but Shao Cheng knew that this new life is the same one that he once experienced and isn't just an alternate, parallel, or a new one with a branch future.

The High Priestess Jiayi has made sure of it, especially with the special power that he holds even in the form of the soul that has helped connect in the time flow and arriving at the right world but for now, though, Shao Cheng has nodded his head toward the person that was waiting for his answer and has spoken with one simple word.

"Good."

While not stopping the familiar expression that he usually employs whenever he design another sinister, ruthless, and cold plan of his that leads the person which is the subject to mostly turned out having a miserable ending.

Without feeling any hesitation of what he decided in mind, Shao Cheng has raises his hand to make a sign motion before started traveling to another direction while the people that have gone to retrieve some of the arrows from the dead bodies of their enemies to apply in conflict one more time while rummaging for anything useful that they can use and cleaning the evidence of the fighting that has happened has swiftly and faithfully followed Shao Cheng lead without another word of refusal.

And somewhere in the distance after not receiving any single report from the first wave of people that have been sent out has eventually figured out that there is something wrong going on, which has led to an investigation being sent out.

Before Dong has gone over to check the complicated situation that causes even his own subordinates being inadequate in figuring out what is truly going on, and after a while of looking around the place where a one-sided battle has happened, a dangerous smile slowly spread on Dong's lip along with a ruthless glint flashing on his eyes as he gazes upon the dead bodies of his people that have been skillfully hidden.

"I'm being taunted… interesting… alright I'll play along, no matter how much you struggle, all of you will be eliminated in the end..."

Little by little, as time goes by, a stressful battle of strategy between the two groups of the enemy commander is silently aiming with each other by using every manner they comprehended, for examples, such as traps, scheme, and tactics that are being used constantly as they tried to weave and snares each other into a dead-end.

However, it isn't surprising when after two days of battling constantly with only a few breaks in which Shao Cheng group was the first one to ultimately has shown a situation of being surrounded.

And the outcome isn't truly shocking, especially when the other leader has more people on his side, while extremely ruthless and cold enough to use his own people to deal with combating against the constant use of paralyzing and poison drugs that Shao Cheng has spread around the place.

Basically those elite group has been used as cannon fodder to be sacrificed in order to get closer to their location.

Really, Shao Cheng basically wanted to murder the official that has turned a blind eye of their enemy of bringing a group of people that can easily be regarded as a small army already, really such a problematic situation, how did Shao Yan, Ren Yuan, and the others have escapes these insane circumstances in the past? 

Especially having such a ruthless character from the person leading the attack right now, Shao Cheng can basically feel how resolute and determined the person is to destroy his older brother in this place, although that person's action wasn't really surprising to Shao Cheng.

Because base from what he could already guess of which family he is dealing with, Shao Cheng is extremely familiar with their cold and cruel deeds, that certain family has been a pain in the ass in the previous life, but earlier time in this life of his, they are only a family that is still trying to ally themselves into a powerful person to serve for.

And Shao Cheng remembered which one they have chosen to follow and it is something that he will never allow to happen in this lifetime, he definitely will not give that person a completely capable people under him, after all, that person is on his top list to eradicate.

Especially when he can already guess that this mission is the start of these people's rise in power by using and stepping the Shao Family that causes them infinite glory in the previous life.

"... like I'll let that happen this time…"

Feeling the bloodthirst thickening on his heart, Shao Cheng just let out a gentle smile that didn't reach his eyes that simply freezingly cold, soon the days pass by yet the murderous intention continues to grow that Shao Cheng who rarely wanted to kill people on his own accord couldn't wait for everything to start soon.

"... really… hurry up and arrive at my last net… I couldn't wait to strangle you all up."

Murmuring those words that basically has a hint of murder, the person that has been close by his side, just silently glance at him in a split second before turning back to stare dazedly ahead in which Shao Cheng just ignored it.

And soon, the day passes by when Shao Cheng group that has split up and spread all over the forest in order to arrive at the calculated spot that the enemies will need to tread in order to arrive in their location is basically over, thus the split groups that was being pushed down in a certain smaller range have combined up in which there are only two groups left.

Shao Cheng has measured and estimated every action in order to dwindle down the enemies numbers to have a better chance of surviving their present dangerous situation, especially when there are serious and dangerous people that they needed to physically confront in battle, something that they couldn't hide and run away from.

Of course there is always an escape route that Shao Cheng prepared in case of an extreme emergency that they really needed to run away as the last resort, although he doesn't want to use it since that is only for desperate measure.

And the enemy probably doesn't consider that certain planned that Shao Cheng decided if there is a single chance that they needed to escape their death if they fail to win the battle.

"I don't really want to do that though…"

Sighing softly, Shao Cheng has taken a bite of the slightly hard pieces of deer meat that has been smoke-dried, something to consume during the dangerous circumstances that they are unable to have a proper meal before suddenly narrowing his eyes when he senses the enemies in the far distance appeared to finally make their moves.

Before his expression turned abruptly soft when spreading his senses toward the other group of people were their main combat of powerful individuals is located, something that was farther away from where he is at in which is the one that Ren Yuan is leading among the others.

And as he watched the sunset lowering down in the horizon while the glowing orange color disappearing in the sky that has slowly turned dark, Shao Cheng has put aside his bow and choosing a sword as a weapon this time, along with hidden weapon secretly inside his robe.

And just like Shao Cheng calculated, he stood waiting in the middle of a meadow with trees spread around in a large space with each other while some of his own people are hiding spread out in the darkness with bow ready at hand, a group of people has suddenly appeared before him.

"... let's start another round one more time, and this time will be the last one."
