Chapter 727: They Are the Minions of the Shadow of the Abyss!

"Li An, we really did it!"Guo Yao hugged Li An excitedly, a hint of sobbing in her voice. She knew that surviving this time was entirely due to Li An's courage and determination.

Li An hugged Guo Yao tightly as well, his heart filled with relief and pride. He knew that as long as Guo Yao was by his side, he feared nothing.

Just then, Li An suddenly felt a strange power fluctuation coming from within his body. Startled, he quickly let go of Guo Yao and carefully sensed this power.

"What's wrong, Li An?"Guo Yao saw Li An's expression was off and asked hurriedly.

Li An frowned tightly, his gaze sharp as a hawk's staring at his own palm. He could feel that this power fluctuation contained a strength and mystery unlike anything before.

"I... I seem to have gained a new ability."Li An said in a deep voice, disbelief filling his tone.

Hearing this, Guo Yao showed a surprised expression. She tightly grabbed Li An's arm, as if afraid of losing him. "What ability?"

The night was deep and silent, with only the occasional sound of wind seeming to whisper unknown secrets. Li An stood atop a high cliff, gazing at the endless darkness in the distance. His brows were furrowed, and a determined light flickered in his eyes. Since sensing the awakening of the Shadow of the Abyss, he knew a storm unlike any before was coming.

"We must take the initiative, find the Key of Light and the Key of Darkness, only then will we have a chance to stop the Shadow of the Abyss."Li An's voice echoed in the night sky, carrying an undeniable resolve.

However, Guo Yao stood beside him, her face full of worry: "Li An, we cannot take too many risks. We don't know the power of the Shadow of the Abyss, what if..."

"No 'what if'!"Li An cut her off, a hint of impatience in his tone. "We cannot sit and wait for death. Guo Yao, I know you are worried about me, but I will absolutely not give up."

Guo Yao's eyes instantly turned red. Looking at Li An, a sob caught in her voice: "I know you won't give up, but I cannot just watch you go to your death. Li An, let's find a place to hide first, then plan from there, okay?"

Hearing this, an nameless fire surged in Li An's heart. Looking at Guo Yao, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness: "Guo Yao, when did you become so cowardly? We have come this far, experienced so many dangers, didn't we survive them all? Now, you actually want me to hide?"

"I am not cowardly, I am worried about you!"Guo Yao's voice rose a few degrees, tears flickering in her eyes. "Li An, have you thought, if something happens to you, what should I do?"

The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense, as if just a spark would cause an explosion. Just then, a sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.

"Not good, it's the minions of the Shadow of the Abyss!"Li An's eyes sharpened, immediately preparing for battle.

Guo Yao also immediately reined in her emotions, tightly gripping the weapon in her hand, standing by Li An's side. Although worry filled her heart, retreat was not an option for her at this moment.

The minions of the Shadow of the Abyss quickly appeared in their sight. These minions wore black robes, wore ferocious masks on their faces, and held sharp weapons in their hands. Their numbers were vast, surrounding Li An and Guo Yao completely.

"Hmph, it seems the Shadow of the Abyss already knows of our existence."Li An sneered, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "Come, let you see my power!"
