Armipotent

Despite the warning from Scot Moran, everything was too late. When Callahan

turned to the side, he saw the shadow's hand reaching his face. The two and a

half meters Callahan was slammed down by Lu An. The height and weight

dierence did not matter as Callahan was helplessly brought into the shadow

by Lu An.

Boom!

In the next second, Scot Moran landed right where Callahan had just

disappeared. He tried to attack the shadow, but it was futile. It could not force

Lu An to bring Callahan out of the shadows. "Damn!" He started regretting his

action to confront Lu An's group. He just did not know that Lu An had a

troublesome ability like this. 'There must be a way to counter this shadow, but

how?'

Of course, Lu An had a weakness, and his weakness was quite simple. The

weakness of shadow was light, so he needed someone with Light Elemental

Power like Kang Xue or Helia, the Light Bombyx Mori. They just need to get rid

of the shadow with light, then Lu An could not use the shadow to hide anymore.

While Scot Moran was at his wit's end, he heard the familiar scream from the

shadow.

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!"

It was Donald Callahan's scream, and the scream came out from the shadow

below them. All ve Epic Ranks tried to attack the shadow with their skills, but

all their eorts were useless. They could not destroy the shadow or lure Lu An

out of the shadow.

"We are tight in time, Sir. We need to leave before the Tang Empire's

reinforcement arrives," Darrick was frustrated with the situation they were in.

He immediately proposed the idea to leave Donald Callahan and escape from

this place.

"Do you think I will let you all leave?" Lu An overheard the conversation, and

he came out of the shadows with Donald Callahan. However, The Blue Vest

Guild's vice guild leader's body was no longer intact. Callahan lost his two legs

and all his ngers; blood was profusely owing out from his hand and thigh as

the man whimpered in terror and horror.

"Do you think I will leave after what you did to Callahan!?" Scot Moran's voice

came from Lu An's back. As soon as Lu An appeared on the surface, he used his

movement skill and moved to Lu An's back. However, his eort was futile as Lu

An in front of him was replaced by the black dagger once more. From where he

was, he saw Lu An appear next to one of his subordinates.

Before he could even warn them, Lu An slashed the sword to one of his

subordinates' necks. The head ew o into the air as the blood spurted out in

all directions. The body walked three steps forward before falling o to the

ground.

At this moment, Scot Moran realized that number did not matter in ghting Lu

An. No matter how many Epic Ranks he had, he could not kill this young man,

"Leave the shadow! We are retreating! Leave the shadow! We are retreating!"

The enemy was just a perfect assassin. If they stayed longer in the shadow's

range, they would be killed one by one by the young man.

Scot Moran's left hand reached the whimpering Donald Callahan on the

ground. He intended to bring Callahan with him as he could not aord to lose

more Epic Rank. Even though Callahan lost his legs, there was still an elixir to

grow his legs back.

Scot Moran was about to jump out of the shadow with Callahan in his hand, but

Lu An did not allow that to happen. Six daggers shot toward Scot Moran from

six dierent directions. The daggers were just too fast, so he needed to block

them. He released Callahan from his grasp and blocked the dagger with the

spear in his hand. He then remembered that Lu An could switch position with

the dagger, so he leaped away from the daggers.

When he landed, he realized that Callahan was not in his hand anymore. He

forgot to bring Callahan with him after blocking the daggers.

"I will not let you bring him away from me! I told you, I will make him regret

insulting The Tang Empire's Emperor!" Lu An's deadpan expression gave Scot

Moran a chill. With this short exchange, he realized another thing. They just

provoked someone they should never provoke.
