In the silent night, in a certain location, a slaughtering is silently happening while constant bodies of people dying one at a time continuously dropping down in the unforgiving hard ground and despite how much those people that are being attacked tried to hide as they all use their surroundings was unable to escape even a single attack from their enemies that are skillfully remaining hidden.
Even if they dashed over to where the attack has come from, they couldn't easily arrive in the direction of where their enemies are, and even if they finally arrive there wasn't any single person in the spot anymore, before another attack once more happen.
Swish~
Swish~
Swish~
Soon, the sound of fast-moving objects silently resounds in the silent forest that has eerily turned silent as a match of elites vs elites is presently happening while remaining calm without letting out any single sound despite having an attack happening between the two groups.
After all, since the two groups of enemies are still trying to hide their position to be easily spot on for as long as they could.
Although only one of the group is in the losing ends since they are completely unable to find out the people that have suddenly ambush them despite the fact that they should be the one that is ambushing and hunting down the enemies that have been hidden desperately the whole time.
Not only was their group has more people in numbers, but their targeted people should also be weary from being hunted down along with their few people that barely manage to survive during the first ambush, but how come that they are the one being hunted down so hopelessly right now that they couldn't even fight back?
"...impossible…"
The leader of the group that was being pushed in utter defense just by the silent and skillful way that his people are being taken out so easily couldn't help to mutter those words in a gritted teeth, after all, it's like their enemies can completely see all their movement, actions, and locations in this dark forest with the bright stars in the night sky being the only source of light which is truly impossible.
Even if a person who was trained to at least be able to see in the dark couldn't have this impossible ability like they are being watched continuesly since it is just considered an absurd notion to even think such a matter to exist.
With a cold sweat, he couldn't help but feel numb when the hundred of people that have followed him have already dwindle down to twenties in number before forcing him to finally let out the emergency alarm no matter how much reluctant he felt about it.
Especially when the concept of Master Dong and the Young Master punishment for failing so miserably so early in their hunt has cause him to shudder in fear.
Even though the reward they receive in fulfilling the family's notion is absolutely wonderful and excellent but the punishment they're received is so strict and terrifying at the same time.
Swiftly taking out the item with shaking hand while preparing to light it up, a soft noise has suddenly reached his ears once again and this time from what he can hear this attack is much faster and swifter than the usual arrows that have been shot their ways and despite moving around in a complicated manner after discovering that the attack target is him, the amount of speed, power, and precision of every single arrow that come his way has ultimately forced him into a dead end.
The leader's eyes couldn't help but widen when in a split second without any warning as he turned sideways once more from the attack, there is suddenly one of the arrows just a mere inch away from piercing into his forehead and at the exact time, another one has swiftly arrived at the alarm lighting object that he has been tightly holding the entire time.
And at a perfect time, one arrow has penetrated the middle of his forehead while the other one has easily inserted his hands before piercing the alarm object and completely breaking it apart.
Such horrifying skills of using the bow! And that was the last thought that has flash his mind before his entire vision turned blank while his body has fallen hard in the ground.
Thud
"... got him…"
Shao Cheng has finally let go of the bow that he has been using the entire time while his finger shakes a bit while at the same time feeling the strain on his shoulder, arms, and hands from the constant use of his combined energies along with pushing the physical limit of what he can handle as he pulled the string in a consecutive movement.
Shao Cheng really wants his physical build shape and endurance in his previous life, it just too much strain to use the ability and skill that he has deeply ingrained on his mind already.
Everything seemed looks easy when he took out that leader that has been highly alert and guarded the entire time but Shao Cheng needed to use an extraordinary concentration, predication, and calculation along with every single movement he made when he was attacking, in which is extremely stressful to the present limit of his physical body.
At least Shao Cheng planned to eradicate their enemies silently and fast as they could before the leader gets a hold of the news of their sudden actions which is easily working, after all, it's better if the enemy's number dwindles down in low numbers before everything becomes more serious and dangerous.
It was the reason why he has targeted the person that has those emergency alert fireworks in hands that Dai has used once before when they confront each other, and just like he guesses, one of the group leaders has their own item.
"Young Master Cheng…"
Blinking his eyes at the sudden sound, Shao Cheng has turned his attention at the person that is acting as his right-hand man in the entire operation of their attack in which his sapphire eyes that have change into a darker color with a quick work of his medicine has glanced over to the group of people that he has taken with him, which the people that is also capable to use a bow and arrows.
After all, what they are dealing with are people who are more skilled in physical combat, it was the reason why Shao Cheng was the one handling them right now rather than the other commander that has been spread around the entire forest.
Especially when these people are also trained in the assassination by the way they move around, which Shao Cheng couldn't allow to remain alive, after all, they can make a surprise attack from behind while using dirty mean, he knew the danger of assassination, and he doesn't want his older brother life to be taken away by a mere moment of single mistakes or slip up.
Besides, Shao Cheng can tell that the main leader of this whole operation is a great master in martial arts, how could they not bring an outstanding and skilled one when targeting the heir of the Shao Family? Especially when there are really a lot of people hunting them down right now.
"Go on, quickly eliminate the remaining people before switching locations."
"Yes…!"
Seeing as the group of people has easily followed his command, Shao Cheng then began to sense their enemy's location one more time and making sure that no one can escape their grasp while secretly observing for a second person that might have an emergency alert object in their hand just in case the other fail.
A person shouldn't let their guard down no matter what.
Shao Cheng wouldn't underestimate his enemies or else it will come to bite him back painfully, in which something he has learned in the previous life of fighting those people. No matter what happens, Shao Cheng couldn't show any single mercy no matter how pitiful and heartbreaking they tried to plead, beg, and appear to be.
One single mistakes of being kind almost cost him to lose his life, and Shao Cheng would not allow that to happen to his older brother, especially now that Ren Yuan is in this dangerous situation, he just couldn't easily make a gamble.
Soon, one after another, Shao Cheng spoke a precise direction for every single person on his side to take out and along the way, he just disregards the reverence and awe that slowly begin to emerge within the people's eyes around him.
And in another place after another, although not terrifying specific and precise as Shao Cheng command was to his people, Ren Yuan, Yu Qin, Shao Yan, and Xixi has fulfilled their own part of the plan and has eradicated the group of people that have been sent in their way without alerting the leader of their enemies of what truly is occurring.
Of course, the medicine that Shao Cheng has created has cause their fighting ability to be deadlier and terrifying that all four of them have easily annihilated the enemies.
This is only the beginning though, the advance of people that was sent was only the first wave of the group of enemies, although they didn't alert their opponents of what is going on, but the lack of report that they should receive will definitely alert the leader of what they are capable of.
After all, killing all of those hundreds of people just like that is definitely suspicious and doubtful, and will definitely grasp that they are being ambushed in an attack.
But who cares, Shao Cheng knew that they couldn't hide forever, they needed the enemies to be on their guards than usual in order to lessen their actions and make a plan outside of what he can calculate and predict from the circumstances.
And even if the leader learns about his plan at the start, but so what? They still need to approach them despite knowing it, because if not, they won't be able to fulfill their mission right?
With a gentle arc of his lip, while dark eyes glinting coldly, Shao Cheng stares in a certain direction with a ruthless expression.
"Come, I'll show you the consequences of targeting my brother life."
And I'll make sure that this slaughter will not end after all of you die here.
