Chapter 857 - 479: Shadow Walker
...
"A Shadow Walker, huh?" Yan Xiaobao was very surprised. He had never heard of a Shadow Walker before, but he really liked the idea. Everyone has their own extreme abilities.
Waving his hand, four Memory Stones suddenly appeared in his hand. One by one, he placed them on his forehead, the blue light rapidly shone continuously in the dining room, then Yan Xiaobao threw these stones to Rong Ming, Rong Xing, Ma Kong, and Xu Biao.
"This is the first Martial Arts I learned," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile. "This attack is very powerful, so be sure to stay safe while practicing. Even your first attempt might be more destructive than you imagine. Make sure to learn how to fight." Yan Xiaobao said, finally emphasizing one thing. "For Sha Yun, I never want to feel so helpless again like I do now."
The serious expression on Yan Xiaobao’s face made everyone understand how seriously Sha Yun’s disappearance affected him. He was willing to use everything he had learned and all his power to ensure none of his friends would suffer. He wouldn’t lose anyone.
"Don’t worry, with these medicine pills you’ve given us, I will wholeheartedly immerse in a shadow to search for Sha Yun. I will not rest until she is found. I cannot believe she is dead because no trace of her body has been found."
"I worry she might have been taken because of me," Yan Xiaobao sighed. He wasn’t foolish; he knew he had made many enemies over the years, and they might have seized this opportunity to strike back at him; however, if they truly wanted him filled with grief, they would make sure Yan Xiaobao knew they had kidnapped her. They might be afraid to let him know, or perhaps they had some agenda Yan Xiaobao didn’t understand? The most terrifying thing was, Yan Xiaobao didn’t know their motive. His heart trembled in worry when he did not know who he was dealing with or what kind of experiences she might have been undergoing.
No one said anything about Yan Xiaobao’s comments. They all were certain he was right. She had been gone for so long, and she had not returned. This meant even if she wanted to, she could not come back. She had been bound by Xu Yue, and that relationship could only be broken by the death of one of them. She had never insulted anyone, she had never caused trouble. Her kidnapping could only be related to Yan Xiaobao.
"Thank you for searching for her, always let me know whenever you find anything," Yan Xiaobao smiled at Gao Yan. He understood how hard it would be for Gao Yan to search twenty-four hours a day, but he also knew that if a friend wasn’t serious, he would never agree to find her.
"Thank you all for coming today. I need everyone to improve your combat ability. You are all my friends, and I will not allow anything to happen to you. When I need help, you are the people I rely on, and when you need it, I will depend on them. Therefore, I need every one of you to be strong. We will complete this together!"
Hearing his words, their blood began to boil. They knew Yan Xiaobao was strong, and though they all wished to support him, they worried they weren’t strong enough. Now, Yan Xiaobao seemed unwilling to let anyone fall behind. They were a group that would always be together.
"We will save her!" Deng Wu finally said, and everyone nodded. The atmosphere that had turned grim at the start of the meal now felt hopeful. Everyone was full of belief that they could save Sha Yun. They would find her, rescue her, and bring her back home.
Everyone was talking about their different training paths. Since some of them were still searching for their own personal paths, discussing their paths with others allowed them to understand themselves and their future goals better.
The night stretched on, with many friends continuing discussions on cultivation, pills, Sha Yun’s fate, Wu Wei’s martial arts, and many other subjects. Finally, before the sun rose, friends reluctantly began to leave. The words they said that night were things they held secretly in their hearts, but they also knew they would never bring it up again. It was a secret they shared with each other.
After everyone left, Yan Xiaobao stood at the doorway. As she leaned against him, Wang Julong stood beside him. Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but sigh. "Don’t worry," Wang Julong said calmly. "No matter what, we will save Yun. Let’s believe Gao Yan will soon reach the level of the Emperor."
Yan Xiaobao nodded, embraced the woman, pulling her into his arms. "I will ensure your family is avenged soon," he promised, holding the woman in his arms.
Yan Xiaobao stood at the doorway with the woman he loved and the woman overhead for a while, feeling true happiness in his heart. Although at the same time, he also felt extreme guilt over what happened to Sha Yun. Letting Wang Julong go with a smile, he finally set her free and began to head towards his room. He still needed to wait for the Princess to summon him.
He had previously written a letter to her, expressing his wish to meet. However, hoping to meet with a member of the Royal Family was one thing, while actually getting an audience was another. When someone wished to see the Royal Family, they had to wait for them to set the time and place.
Although Yan Xiaobao realized that the Princess would soon send him an invitation, he also understood he needed to wait. Despite his impatience, he spent the time learning martial power martial arts.
So far, he had perfected the Direhound’s Immortal Strike, the fierce roar of the Emerald Dragon, and the Wingless Butterfly’s Retreat. The latter was a martial power art, composed by Wu Wei into a butterfly. This butterfly could fly at a speed even Yan Xiaobao couldn’t reach, pushing even Speed Flow to its limits. Then the butterfly would suddenly shed its wings, spinning like two fans. They would cut through anything they touched. This attack was as beautiful as it was deadly, as the two wings whirled around each other, severing heads, limbs, plants, beasts, and any other thing within its range.
