Armipotent

In front of other people's eyes, the Fifth Boss's movement was fast. However, that was too slow in front of Tang Shaoyang. He could see the movement clearly.

Even so, he did not try to dodge or even block the attack. He just stood there, letting the Fifth Boss attack him. This was a show for the other people to see that fighting him was a silly mistake.

The Fifth Boss stabbed the knife on his left chest and the other knife toward the neck, "Heh, you are too arrogant for an amateur!" The Fifth Boss let out a peal of laughter, but the laughter did not last long.

The knives landed on the target he aimed for, but the knives did not penetrate the skin. The knives even crooked as he tried to force the knife further.

The Fifth Boss's eyes widened in a pure shock. He could not believe that the knife could not penetrate the skin.

Tang Shaoyang grinned at the Fifth Boss as he punched The Fifth Boss's belly. The punch sent the Fifth Boss flying back. Yes, the Fifth Boss's body was flying into the air and crashed into the building.

The Fifth Boss shrieked and stopped shrieking right after crashing into the building. Everyone looked toward the direction where the Fifth Boss crashed into. Even Tang Shaoyang was surprised by his punch. He looked at his own fist.

The plan was to get the other survivors but the boss of the group to join his empire. He did not want to bring potential trouble to his empire.

The reason was simple. That was because they had become a leader once. They were well aware of the privilege of a leader. They might submit by force now, but once they become stronger, these people might try to rebel against him.

He did not need these people in his empire that would create extra problems for his developing empire. Killing them to warn the others might be more useful than having them as his people.

"While I am willing to bring you guys to the base, we don't accept the troublemakers!" Tang Shaoyang shouted, "I will not speak anymore. If you want to join the base, come to my side!"

A murmur broke amidst the crowd before any of them could make the decision, the crowd parted, creating a path for four people to walk by, "Are they the other four leaders?" He asked Li Shuang.

"I-I don't know. I never saw those five people's faces…" Li Shuang replied in a low voice. She still could not overcome the shock at what happened just how. Not only did he have tough skin, a supernatural power, but he was also incredibly strong.

"Are you the leader of the Vulture Knives?" Tang Shaoyang questioned the four men. The four surely had a different aura from the others. From their eyes, he could tell that they had killed a lot of people.

Instead of answering his question, the four men spared no words and drew their knives. It was actually the same knives like the ones Fifth Boss had. The four men split and surrounded him from four different directions.

'It's commendable for them to use a knife against the zombie,' he commended their bravery for choosing knives inwardly.

The four men secretly exchanged glances before the man from his blind spot rushed toward him, "Let's use them to practice my [Elemental Manipulation]..." He muttered in a low voice.

Three meters away from Tang Shaoyang, an earth spike shot up, piercing the man's body who tried to attack him from the blind spot. The body was hanging in the air as blood trickled down to the earth spike.

Li Shuang heard the scream from the back. She turned around and tightened her hand on her daughter. She pushed her daughter, not letting Jiaying see the bloody scene. This could cause a deep trauma to her daughter.

The other three froze as soon as they saw their friends pierced by the earth spike. Two out of three decided to turn away and ran. They quickly realized that the man was abnormal.

"Heh, don't expect me to spare your lives," as he said that, his body disappeared. The next second after that, everyone heard two screams from two different directions. The scream was so brief, the scream stopped right after they started to scream.

One man fell and stopped moving on the ground. Everyone could see the man had his head crushed. On the other side, they saw Tang Shaoyang step on the man's neck. The man was trying to break free as he gurgled blood from his mouth. A few moments later, the man stopped moving. He was dead.

The last man quickly made a decision. He realized that escape was not an option for him. So instead of running away, the man rushed toward Li Shuang and her daughter. He was hoping to use the two as a hostage to escape.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang would not let such a thing happen before his eyes. Before the last man could reach Li Shuang, Tang Shaoyang was already in front of the man.

He grabbed the man's neck. With a move of his thumb, the man's neck cracked and crooked to the side. The man instantly stopped breathing afterward, 'This should be enough to scare these five underlings.'

The five men he killed were the Five Knives. At least, that was what people called them. They were the leader of the Vulture Knives. Skilled in close combat and fast movement. That was what Li Shuang told him.

After killing the last knife of the Five Knives, he looked toward the crowd. Fear and terror were apparent in their eyes. No one dared to meet his gaze, everyone looked down.

"My offer is still valid," as he said that to the crowd, he activated [Spirit Advancement]. It was hard to find human sacrifice as he could not kill people blindly. Since he had four now, he sacrificed them for Zowen.

However, the bar did not even move after sacrificing the four dead bodies. It indicated the quality of the sacrifices was too low.

No one gave their response. His decision to kill the Five Knives would instill fear and also hesitation in them to join, he knew that as well. But this first step was necessary, they just needed time to think carefully that the power he had could be used to protect them as well. When they realized this point, they would surely join the base.

"You don't have to make the decision now. You have a few days to decide before the transport team arrives at Ningbo!" Again, no one was making noise or responding to his words.

'It seems I am not suitable to recruit people,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself as he walked into the hotel, 'I will clean the zombies and let Wei Xi do the job instead.'

Li Shuang snapped out her shock and immediately followed Tang Shaoyang. The crowd must be thinking that she was part of him. She should stick to the man if she wanted to be safe from the others.

At the same time, her mind was in a mess. Her mind was processing many thoughts and possibilities of the future. Without her realizing it, she ended up in the same room as the man, 'This is my chance!'
