Guo Yao's face was ashen, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. Her body trembled slightly at times, and she would occasionally slip into unconsciousness. Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out. Looking at Guo Yao's weak yet alluring appearance, Li An felt an uncontrollable surge of desire within him. His eyes held both worry and an irrepressible urge, and the atmosphere in the room became ambiguous and complex.
Chapter 338 Such Thoughts
"No, how could I have such thoughts at a time like this..." Li An silently blamed himself. He tried to suppress his emotions, but his gaze kept involuntarily falling on Guo Yao. His hand gently stroked Guo Yao's cheek, his movements tender and careful.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. "Come in," Li An said, quickly composing himself.
The door slowly opened, and Allen Walker walked in. A hint of concern crossed his face: "Li An, how is Guo Yao?"
Li An stood up and sighed softly, "It's still the same old story, sometimes good, sometimes bad. I'm really worried about her..."
Allen stepped forward and patted Lian on the shoulder: "Don't worry too much, we will definitely find a way."
Li An nodded, a determined look in his eyes: "I plan to show the Black Order my determination to find control of the holy power to save Guo Yao. I believe that with my strength and wisdom, I will be able to persuade them."
Allen looked at Lian, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "I believe you can do it, Lian. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Accompanied by Allen, Lian arrived at the Black Order's meeting room. The order's members were already waiting in the meeting room, their eyes filled with suspicion and vigilance.
“Li An, you said you want to find a way to control holy power to save your girlfriend. What is your plan?” a member of the cult asked coldly.
Li An took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have done some research on holy power, and I believe I can find a way to control it and thus remove the influence on Guo Yao. I need the support and resources of the Order."
"Hmph, easy for you to say. Who knows if you have ulterior motives? Maybe you're trying to use the Order's resources to achieve your own goals," another member said disdainfully.
Li An's eyes instantly sharpened: "You can't understand my feelings for Guo Yao. Everything I've done is to save her. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to monitor me. But I warn you, don't let unfounded suspicions delay the best opportunity to save Guo Yao."
The members of the cult were stunned by Li An's words and for a moment no one dared to refute him. At this moment, Lina Li stepped forward: "I believe in Li An. He has done a lot for Guo Yao during this time. We should give him a chance."
With Lenore's support, Lian gradually gained the upper hand in the debate. Those who doubted him were silenced by his sharp words, and ultimately, the Order decided to give Lian some support.
“Thank you, Lina Li.” Lian looked at Lina Li gratefully.
Li Nali smiled slightly: "You're welcome. I just believe in your feelings for Guo Yao. I hope you can find a way to save her as soon as possible."
Back in her room, Guo Yao had regained consciousness. Looking at Li An, her eyes were filled with admiration: "Li An, I knew you could do it. In my heart, you'll always be the best."
Li An gently held Guo Yao's hand and said tenderly, "I'm willing to do anything for you."
Just then, Allen rushed over: "Lian, I've discovered some clues about how holy power affects the human body, but these clues point to the demon's lair. We need to delve deeper into it."
Chapter 339 Sufficient Preparation
Li An's expression instantly turned serious, and he was caught in a fierce internal struggle. He wanted to save Guo Yao as soon as possible, but he was also worried about the dangers of venturing deeper into the demon's lair. He looked at Guo Yao on the hospital bed, his heart filled with conflict.
“Allian, as you know, Guo Yao’s condition is critical. I can’t leave her easily. Besides, the Demon’s Lair is too dangerous, and we’re not adequately prepared,” Li An said, frowning.
Allen nodded. "I understand your concerns, Lian. But this may be our only chance to find a way to save Guo Yao. The Black Order can't provide us with any more support right now; we have to rely on ourselves."
The atmosphere in the room became oppressive and tense, and Li An was suffering agonizingly. He knew that this decision concerned Guo Yao's life or death, and also the fate of all of them.
"Let me think about it some more..." Li An said slowly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Black Order, Tichmick coldly observed everything, a barely perceptible sneer playing on his lips. He was plotting how to use this opportunity to further sabotage the Black Order and Lian's plans.
Luo Dejia was also secretly watching Li An, her strangely alluring eyes filled with interest in him. "This man is really interesting..." she murmured softly, her voice carrying a hint of seduction.
Kanda Yu stood at the end of the corridor, arms crossed, looking at Li An's room with a complex expression. His attitude towards Li An had always been complicated; he admired Li An's strength, yet felt a sense of threat from his presence.
"Are we really going in?" Guo Yao gripped Li An's arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes filled with worry. Her fingers turned white from the force, as if that could stop Li An from stepping into the eerie demon's lair before them.
Li An turned around and gently took Guo Yao's hand, trying to convey strength and reassurance to her. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes firm yet revealing a hint of tension, looking at the cave entrance shrouded in darkness. He took a deep breath and said, "Yao Yao, this is the only way to save you. I have to go." His voice was low and steady, as if he were encouraging himself, or perhaps comforting Guo Yao.
Allen Walker, standing to the side, frowned slightly, his gaze also fixed on the mysterious lair. His eyes revealed determination and courage: "Don't worry, Li An, I'll be with you. No matter what happens, we can handle it." He patted Li An's shoulder, his hand firm and strong, bringing Li An a sense of comfort.
Lian glanced at Allen gratefully and nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you, Allen." His eyes shone with trust; he had complete confidence in his partner who fought alongside him.
The two slowly entered the demon's lair. The moment they stepped inside, a thick stench of darkness and decay assaulted their senses. The smell was like countless rotting corpses mixed with malevolent power, making them want to vomit. An unknown slime flowed across the walls, shimmering eerily in the dim light.
“This place…” Allen wrinkled his nose, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. His hands unconsciously tightened around his weapon, his body tense, ready to deal with any potential danger.
"Be careful," Li An whispered a warning, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, not missing a single corner. He moved very quietly, afraid of disturbing Demon Seven, who was lurking in the shadows.
Chapter 340 Creepy
Just then, a sinister roar came from all directions, a sound like the howl of a demon from the depths of hell, sending chills down their spines. Countless pairs of red eyes flickered in the darkness, like will-o'-the-wisps, gradually approaching them.
"They're here!" Li An's eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's. He quickly drew his weapon, and his spiritual power began to surge, emitting a faint light that contrasted sharply with the surrounding darkness.
Allen immediately went into battle mode, his weapon gleaming with a holy light that illuminated a small area around him: "These demons won't let us off easily." His voice was firm and calm, without the slightest fear.
The demons surged forth like a tidal wave, baring their fangs and claws, emitting shrill cries, as they pounced on Lian and Allen. These demons varied in form; some were enormous and incredibly strong, while others were small and extremely fast. Their attacks were fierce and cunning, making them impossible to defend against.
"Hmph!" Li An snorted coldly. He flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, rushing towards a gigantic demon. He gathered powerful spiritual energy in his hand and struck the demon hard in the chest.
With a muffled thud, the demon was struck by Li An's fist and staggered back a few steps. But it wasn't seriously injured; instead, it roared even more furiously and pounced on Li An again.
"This guy's defense is pretty strong!" Li An thought to himself. He quickly adjusted his tactics and began to observe the demon's attack methods.
Allen was also engaged in fierce combat with the demons, his weapon drawing brilliant streaks of light in the darkness, each attack repelling several demons. But the sheer number of demons was overwhelming, and he was gradually finding himself struggling.
"Allen, hold on!" Lian shouted as he fought the demon while searching for patterns in its attacks.
Suddenly, Lian noticed that these demons seemed to follow a specific rhythm when they attacked. Whenever one demon launched an attack, the surrounding demons would coordinate their movements accordingly.
"I see!" A glint of excitement flashed in Li An's eyes, and he quickly told Allen about his discovery.
“Alright, then we’ll use that!” Allen nodded, a determined look in his eyes…
The two began to change their tactics. They no longer blindly resisted the demons' attacks, but instead skillfully dodged and counterattacked according to the rhythm of the demons' attacks. Whenever a demon launched an attack, they would quickly evade it and then take the opportunity to attack the weaknesses of other demons.
Under their counterattack, the demons began to retreat steadily. The once ferocious demons now appeared somewhat flustered, and their attacks became chaotic and disorganized.
"Well done, Lian!" Allen shouted excitedly, a victorious smile spreading across his face.
Li An smiled slightly, his confidence greatly boosted: "It seems we've found their weakness!" His eyes gleamed with confidence, and his attacks became even more ferocious.
However, just when they thought victory was in sight, suddenly, an eerie laugh came from the depths of the demon's lair. The laugh was like the hooting of an owl, sending chills down their spines.
"Not good, an even stronger enemy is coming!" Li An's expression changed drastically, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 341 What’s going on?
As the laughter rang out, the surrounding demons seemed to be empowered by some force, becoming even more frenzied. They pounced on Lian and Allen with reckless abandon, their attacks becoming several times more powerful and faster.
"What's going on?" Allen exclaimed in surprise, a hint of panic on his face.
"I don't know, but we must be careful!" Li An gripped his weapon tightly, his heart began to race, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
Just then, they discovered a huge magic circle on the ground ahead. The magic circle flickered with an eerie light and emitted a powerful dark force.
“This is…” Li An’s face turned very ugly. He realized that they might have fallen into a trap.
Before they could react, the magic circle suddenly activated, and a powerful suction force came from within the circle, pulling the two of them inside.
"Ah!" Lian and Allen exclaimed at the same time. They struggled desperately, but they could not get rid of the powerful suction.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves trapped in a small space. The surrounding walls were covered with strange runes, emanating a chilling aura.
"We're trapped!" Allen shouted angrily, pounding on the wall, but to no avail.
Li An's expression turned extremely grave, his eyes revealing immense urgency and suppressed emotions. He thought of Guo Yao, who was still waiting outside for him to return and treat her, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame: "Yao Yao, what should I do..." His voice carried a hint of despair; at this moment, he felt more helpless than ever before.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the demon's lair, the Millennium Earl sat in a huge chair, a wicked smile on his face: "Hmph, Lian, you've finally taken the bait." His voice was deep and sinister, as if he were telling a story of a sinister plot.
Luo Dejia stood to the side, a strange and alluring smile on her face, her eyes revealing a deep interest in Li An: "I really look forward to seeing how he performs next." Her voice was soft, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
Within the Black Order, Tichmick was hidden among the crowd, a faint, almost imperceptible smirk playing on his lips: "Everything is proceeding according to plan..." His eyes gleamed with an evil light, as if he were plotting an even greater conspiracy.
Darkness, like thick ink, spread rampantly all around, filling every inch of air with fear. Lian and Allen Walker were trapped in a gloomy trap, surrounded by uneven stone walls that reeked of decay.
"Damn it, why is this trap so hard to get out of!" Allen Walker angrily slammed his fist into the stone wall, the force of his punch kicking up a cloud of dust, but the stone wall didn't budge. His brows were tightly furrowed, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his silver 930 hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.
Li An stood quietly to the side, his eyes deep and calm, as if he could see through everything even in the darkness. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Although his heart was pounding in his chest, he kept telling himself, "Panic won't solve anything. I must think calmly."
From the surrounding darkness came the sinister roars of demons, their figures appearing and disappearing, their red eyes flickering like will-o'-the-wisps, gradually approaching the two. The sound grew closer, like sharp claws scraping against their eardrums, sending chills down their spines.
Chapter 342 Don’t be impulsive
“Allen, don’t be impulsive,” Lian said, his voice low but steady. “Let’s think of something first. Attacking the stone wall won’t help.” As he spoke, he quickly recalled his previous research on the holy power. The obscure ancient records, mysterious symbols, and elusive power fluctuations kept appearing in his mind.
"But we don't have time! These demons are about to attack!" Allen's voice was tinged with anxiety as he gripped his exorcism weapon, ready to face the demons' attack at any moment. His eyes revealed determination, yet also worry about the unknown dangers.
Li An didn't respond. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Mysterious patterns of holy power appeared in his mind—a power filled with sacred aura that had been dormant within him, never fully activated. He tried to find a way to awaken this power and break through his current predicament.
The roars of the demons grew closer, and their figures became clearer. These demons were of various shapes and sizes; some had huge fangs, while others had twisted wings on their backs. They exuded a nauseating stench, as if they were monsters crawling out of the abyss of hell.
"Lian, do you have any way?" Allen asked again, his body trembling slightly, not from fear, but from excitement and tension about the upcoming battle.
Li An didn't answer. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his expression was extremely solemn. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He remembered a key condition in ancient texts for the awakening of sacred power—faith in the face of adversity.
“Allen, believe me.” Lian suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shining with determination. “We will definitely get out of here.”
Just then, a gigantic demon charged forward, its gaping maw snapping at Li An. Li An swiftly dodged, the demon's fangs grazing his clothes.
"Hmph, you think you can bite me? Not so easy!" Li An snorted coldly, a strong will to survive and a determination to protect his companions welling up in his heart.
At this critical moment, a strange power suddenly surged within Li An's body, like a sleeping dragon awakening, coursing through his veins. His body began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding air distorted as this power surged.
