The Urban Dao Child

While Yang Dao slept in his room, outside in the living room two ladies sat with anxious expressions on their faces. Laohu Bai asked, “This was not supposed to happen.”

Feng Yun nodded, “No. The change is young master means the change in Dao. This is something we need the eldest to interpret.” her tone was restless.

Suddenly her phone buzzed. Picked it up and asked, “Second brother?”

A man spoke, “Yeah, Yun, it is me. I am on my way to your place. Will reach in thirty minutes. Has the eldest arrived?”

Feng Yun replied, “No.”

The man said, “He will be coming later than me. I will meet the Young master first.” his tone was nonchalant.

Feng Yun asked, “Do you need me to wake him up?” she asked with hesitation.

“Not yet. We can see to it when I arrive, let him rest. Just tell your guards to not stop me. I am not in the mood of formalities right now.” he replied.

Feng Yun nodded and after a few more words the call disconnected. Laohu Bai asked, “How long?” her sister then told her everything.

…

Time passed and soon thirty minutes flew away. A maid came to Feng Yun and spoke in a low voice, “Madam, the second master is here.”

Feng Yun and Laohu Bai glanced back at the door only to see a blurry man wrapped in a cloak walked over. He was six feet eight inches tall. A blurry figure, his face was angular and looked very handsome. At this moment he was wearing a cap and mask. A muffled voice sounded, “Let me tea a bath first, the desert is was dusty.

Laohu Bai laughed with a puff sound. She said, “Second brother, your usage of words. Hahahaha.” only she was able to laugh so carefreely with this person. Even Feng Yun had some restraint in front of him. This guy was called Ryu Jinshi, the azure dragon spirit incarnation.

He shook his head and walked to his room in the mansion. Yeah, all of them had a place to crash in each other’s house. Feng Yun frowned when he passed her. She asked, “Who was it?”

The man replied, “Visionary Mercs. Killed a whole village, along with five of our agents. They had thirty clones from New Dawn amongst them. Cleaned them up altogether.”

Feng Yun nodded as the man walked to his room for a bath. Laohu Bai said, “No wonder he is wearing a cloak. I could smell the blood even after he was covering it.”

The latter just nodded and sat down. She said, “I do not know, how will the young master take it.”

The mood was sullen because Yang Dao’s chaotic emotions were rambling inside them as well. This was the reason why the two of them could not distract themselves for even a bit.

…

Inside the room, Yang Dao was covered with sweat. He was having a nightmare about unintentionally hurting those close to him. Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open and three people slowly walked in. The three were none other then Feng Yun, Laohu Bai and Ryu Jinshi.

Feng Yun saw that the boy was uncomfortable and was struggling in his sleep, she came to his side and place her hand over his forehead. Slowly the boy eased up and his breathing calmed. He opened his eyes slowly. He saw Feng Yun next to him with a concerned face. In his sleep he could sense that it was Feng Yun who calmed his heart. So, he mumbled, “Thank you.”

His voice was not it’s sunny self. He tried to sit up and Feng Yun helped him with her hands as she sat behind him, holding his shoulders. Yang Dao has changed drastically. His body was devoid of any energy. He glanced at his slightly shivering hands and said in a low voice, “What happened to me?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

A deep voice said, “You are scared and in doubt.”

The boy raised his head and saw a tall man standing in front of him, he wore a black round-neck shirt with a grey lowers, his bulging muscles were terrifying. Yet his face was angular and his deep blue eyes gave off an awe-inspiring aura.

Yang Dao did not ask him anything but gazed at him silently. The man spoke, “When normal Elementalists have doubt in there heart they all forget how to bend slowly. Their powers come from the belief in themselves and their choices. You are the dao child. The doubt inside you will slowly crumble both you and your familiars.” he radiated his strong aura toward Yang Dao

Laohu Bai bared her teeth at him as she came in front of Yang Dao. The four beasts were all equally strong, they just called each other eldest and stuff because of the order they were all incarnated on the planet. So the white haired girl dispelled his pressure and said in a cold voice, “Hey reptile, do you dare to harm the young master? I will snap you in two.”

The reason the other two did not talk openly with the Azure Dragon spirit was because they would have already smacked the arrogance out of him. The so called pride of the dragon. The man took back his pressure and said, “This is what I mean would happen if you did not stabilize yourself. Young Master, we the familiars together with you represent the supreme dao. If the Dao itself is at the conflict then what do you think will happen to us?”

Yang Dao put his feet down on the ground and stood up staggeringly. He held onto Laohu Bai’s hand and asked, “Can you take me out for a walk, Baibai?” his weak and sweet voice calmed down Laohu bai in an instant.

The latter nodded and took him out while supporting his shoulder. Feng Yun stood up and watched them go out. The moment Yang Dao took a step outside and the door closed. She radiated a killing intent at Ryu Jinshi. The intent was so strong that Azure dragon even had goosebumps.

Feng Yun spoke in a cold voice, “IF. YOU. EVER. DARE. TO. DO. THAT. AGAIN. I. WILL. KILL. YOU.” every single word contained so much killing intent that the furniture in the room started to smoke slightly. The man had sweat on his forehead and said, “I was trying to push him.”

Feng Yun calmed a bit and said, “You don’t have the authority, neither are you worth it. Not only you but none of us is. Stay within your limits and do not make me turn the whole world to ashes.”

…

Yang Dao was walking in the garden with Laohu Bai and asked, “Say Baibai, if I did not kill that Terrorist, was it possible for us to save those hostages?”

Laohu Bai shook her head, and said, “Young Master, the only way for this was to engage the terrorists. they had things covered so well that if I tried to deal with them, that would have led to a lot of casualties. You know how could we have avoided that?”

Yang Dao nodded as he gazed at the flowers in the garden. Laohu Bai said, “By releasing the terrorist caputed after sacrificing 3 agents. That guy was wanted for serial blasts from 20 years ago. You know how many he killed?”

Yang Dao shook his head and the girl replied, “4367 people, in one night. The bombs were carried by children he breain washed.” her voice was cold. The boy held her hand tight when he heard the number.

Suddenly he heard a deep voice bwhidn him, “You might have saved those hostages without killing the terrorist using this method but the one they wanted would have came out to brain wash a lot many children and youth. Then leading to nothing but chaos and screams. You did nothing wrong and you should not be afraid of it.”the man paused and continue.

“If one day your closed ones are in pain, hurt or bleeding? Then will you help them or just stay scared?” his voice was deep but it was not cold.

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “No.”

The man said, “Then be brave. Control your fear. If you can overcome your fear now, I will acknowledge you as my Young Master. Do you dare?” he poked his ego. No matter what is the state the Dao is always pissed at those who look down on him.

Yang Dao stood up straight, clench his fists and said while looking into the man’s eyes, “I do.”

The man smiled brightly and his eyes flickered. Immediately the scene around Yang Dao changed. He found himself to be inside a battle field with people wielding guns and swords killing each other. Behind him stood his close ones. Blood and body parts flew around like cherry blossom leaves in autumn. Yang Dao was horrified but he recalled that smile Ryu gave him. He closed his eyes.

A figure rushed to wards Yang Dao as he stood with his eyes closed. The boy waved his hands and started to bend the air. At first it was just one man and slowly it became a swarm. But his hands did not stop. He was first stop them from approaching him but after a point of time he got pissed and started to injure them all.

After five minutes, the injuries became killings. He did not know how much time had passed but he did not bother with anything other then the safety of his closed ones. He realized that after a point everything is baseless, whether it is peace or violence. To attain peace you need to face violence with violence, while to protect peace you must not be afraid of violence. Yet always use Voilence as a last resort for though it may harm others, others can also harm you.

Suddenly Yang Dao felt an hand on his shoulder. His moments stopped all of a sudden.
