Hearing the order from their Guild Leader, the Blue Vest Guild''s members ran out of the shadow. Since the shadow covered a wide area, it ended up leaving six people in the shadow. Scot Moran, Donald Cahan, and the other four Epic Ranks. They would fight Lu An, who hid within the shadow.


    Donald Cahan snapped out of his daze after the wake-up call of his Guild Leader. He was in front of the death door just now. If not for his Guild Leader intervening at the right time, he was done for. He quickly realized the situation he was in and used the Bloodline Transformation.


    His body jacked as he became two and a half meters tall, his skin turned ck, and a pair of bull horns grew on his head. After that, he took out his greatsword and also a big shield that almost covered his whole body. The other four also transformed and regrouped with Scot Moran and Donald Cahan.


    Donald Cahan stayed in the front of the five, as they had his back. That was the usual formation they used to fight a strong monster. Donald Cahan would be the front line with his strong physical power and almost unbreakable defense. The formation always worked, especially if they only faced one enemy.


    "Get ready for the attack. We need to finish this fast before the Tang Empire''s reinforcementes!" Scot Moran told his subordinate in an intense tone. He held the spear tightly as nervousness slowly crept into his heart. He did his best to detect Lu An within the shadow, but he just could not sense Lu An.


    Swoosh!


    "Behind us!" Darrick, one of the Epic Ranks, yelled as he saw a shadowe out from the shadow below. The figure was holding four ck daggers between his fingers, and from the shadow''s stature, without a doubt, the shadow was Lu An. The shadow threw the eight daggers. The pitch-ck dagger elerated in the air very fast but not fast enough to trick their eyes.


    Donald Cahan reacted as he put his shield forward, blocking all the daggers. The sh produced nking noises as the daggers scattered around them. At the same time, Scot Moran and another Epic Rank rushed toward the shadow in the air. "I will not let you return to the shadow again!" Scot Moran quickly took the chance to attack Lu An while in the air.


    As long as he prevented Lu An from returning to the shadow, Lu An would not be able to hide from them again. Scot Moran and his Epic Rank subordinate were about to reach Lu An in the air, but they saw the pitch-ck shadow smiling at them. The wide smile gave Scot Moran an ominous feeling.


    Sure enough, in the next second, the shadow in front of him was reced by a pitch-ck dagger. Scot Moran quickly caught up with what happened when he saw the dagger. He turned his head, and sure enough, a shadow appeared next to Donald Cahan.


    "Watch out, Cahan!" Scot Moran tried to warn his Vice Guild Leader, but it was toote as no one noticed the shadow figure. He maneuvered his body in the air, turning around and kicking the air. He tried to get back to help Donald Cahan.


    Despite the warning from Scot Moran, everything was toote. When Cahan turned to the side, he saw the shadow''s hand reaching his face. The two and a half meters Cahan was mmed down by Lu An. The height and weight difference did not matter as Cahan was helplessly brought into the shadow by Lu An.


    Boom!


    In the next second, Scot Morannded right where Cahan had just disappeared. He tried to attack the shadow, but it was futile. It could not force Lu An to bring Cahan 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 Cahan''s scream, and the scream came out from the shadow below them. All five Epic Ranks tried to attack the shadow with their skills, but all their efforts 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 Cahan and escape from this ce.


    "Do you think I will let you all leave?" Lu An overheard the conversation, and he came out of the shadows with Donald Cahan. However, The Blue Vest Guild''s vice guild leader''s body was no longer intact. Cahan lost his two legs and all his fingers; blood was profusely flowing 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 Cahan!?" 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 effort was futile as Lu An in front of him was reced by the ck 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 shed the sword to one of his subordinates'' necks. The head flew off into the air as the blood spurted out in all directions. The body walked three steps forward before falling off to the ground.


    At this moment, Scot Moran realized that number did not matter in fighting 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 Cahan on the ground. He intended to bring Cahan with him as he could not afford to lose more Epic Rank. Even though Cahan lost his legs, there was still an elixir to grow his legs back.


    Scot Moran was about to jump out of the shadow with Cahan in his hand, but Lu An did not allow that to happen. Six daggers shot toward Scot Moran from six different directions. The daggers were just too fast, so he needed to block them. He released Cahan 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 hended, he realized that Cahan was not in his hand anymore. He forgot to bring Cahan 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.
