"We can't let her ruin the ritual!" Lian shouted, unleashing his full power. He and Allen worked in perfect harmony, their powers intertwining to form a powerful combined force.
In the fierce battle, Lian fully displayed the strength of a top-tier Manga Master. He skillfully dodged Rhodes Cammy's attacks while searching for her weaknesses. Allen was not to be outdone; his attacks were sharp and swift, leaving Rhodes Cammy somewhat overwhelmed.
Chapter 358 How can he be so strong?
"Damn it, how can you be so strong?" Rhodesia was filled with shock and anger. She hadn't expected Lian and Allen to be so difficult to deal with.
Just as Rhodes was distracted, Li An seized the opportunity. He shouted and conjured a powerful beam of light in his hand, shooting it towards Rhodes.
"Oh no!" Rhodesia was startled and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The light struck her body, and she let out a painful scream as she flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Luo Dejia, you've lost!" Li An said coldly, his eyes filled with the joy of victory.
Luo Dejia struggled to her feet, her eyes filled with disbelief: "No...this is impossible...how can you be so strong..."
Li An ignored her and turned to continue the ritual. Through his efforts, he gradually gained control of the sacred power, radiating a dazzling light as if he had become the master of this world.
"I did it! I've successfully mastered the Holy Power!" Li An shouted excitedly, his voice echoing throughout the entire base.
He rushed to Guo Yao's side and channeled his holy power into her body. Like warm sunlight, the holy power swiftly dispelled the darkness within her. Guo Yao's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and she slowly opened her eyes, tears of emotion welling up within them: "Li An..."
Li An held Guo Yao tightly in his arms, and the two embraced each other affectionately, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
"That's great, Guo Yao, you're finally alright." Li An's voice was choked with emotion, his heart filled with joy and gratitude.
Just then, Li An suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation of dark power. He was startled, realizing that the Millennium Earl's conspiracy was not yet over.
"Oh no, the Millennium Earl has other schemes up his sleeve!" Li An released Guo Yao, his eyes flashing with vigilance.
Using the holy power he had just mastered, he sensed everything around him. He quickly discovered the Millennium Earl's plan. It turned out that the Millennium Earl had set up a powerful dark magic circle at another secret stronghold of the Black Order, attempting to use it to open a passage to another world and unleash even more powerful dark energy.
"We can't let him succeed!" Lian shouted, flying towards the Millennium Earl's secret stronghold. Allen, Lenalee, Kanda Yu, and the others followed.
When they arrived at the secret hideout, the Millennium Earl stood in the center of the magic circle, a smug smile on his face: "Haha, you've come at the perfect time. Let you watch this world be swallowed by darkness!"
Li An snorted coldly: "Millennium Earl, your conspiracy will not succeed!" With that, he launched the first attack, and holy power shot towards the Millennium Earl like a sharp sword.
The Millennium Earl hastily dodged, his eyes filled with rage: "Hmph, you think you can defeat me just because you've mastered holy power? How naive!"
The two sides engaged in fierce combat once again. The Millennium Earl's strength was indeed formidable; his attacks carried powerful dark energy, making them difficult for the group to withstand. However, Lian, relying on the advantage of his holy power, fought a fierce battle against the Millennium Earl.
During the battle, Lian discovered the magic circle's weakness. Overjoyed, he immediately launched an attack. The holy power struck the magic circle's weak point, and cracks instantly appeared.
Chapter 359 How is this possible?
"No... How is this possible!" the Millennium Earl cried out in horror. He had not expected that Lian would find the weakness of the magic circle so easily.
With the shattering of the magic circle, the Millennium Earl's conspiracy was completely foiled. His body slowly fell backward, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
"We did it!" The crowd cheered, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.
After Li An defeated Luo Dejiamei and successfully rescued Guo Yao, the entire Black Order was immersed in a brief moment of joy. However, this joy did not last long, and a greater crisis quietly loomed over them like dark clouds.
In the Black Order's spacious yet oppressive research room, Li An gently touched the Holy Light, which radiated a soft light, but his face showed no sign of victory. Just as he had fully grasped this powerful force, the Holy Light began to fluctuate abnormally. The light flickered erratically, as if it might be extinguished at any moment, and a sense of unease welled up in Li An's heart.
"What's going on?" Li An frowned and muttered to himself. He tried to stabilize the fluctuations with his understanding of holy power, but all his efforts were in vain.
The news quickly spread throughout the Black Order, and everyone rushed over. Lenalee looked at Lian with a worried expression and asked softly, "Lian, what happened? How could the Holy Power be like this?" Her eyes were full of concern, and she unconsciously bit her lip.
Allen also came over, his eyes flashing with doubt and unease: "I've never seen the Holy One like this before. Could it be that Rhodesia has some other trick up her sleeve?" As he spoke, he gripped the Holy One tightly in his hand, as if he were ready to face any unknown danger at any moment.
The other members of the Black Order, however, looked on with suspicion. They whispered among themselves, discussing amongst themselves. "Can Li An really control the Holy Power? How come he's already having problems as soon as he's mastered it?" "Yeah, what if the Holy Power goes out of control and brings us even greater disaster?" These doubtful words pierced Li An's heart like needles.
Li An took a deep breath, his eyes hardening: "I will find out the reason and prove that I can control this power." His voice was soft, but full of power, as if declaring his determination to everyone.
In the days that followed, Li An threw himself wholeheartedly into the investigation. He perused all the ancient texts within the Black Order concerning holy power, discussing them repeatedly with Allen and Lenalee, leaving no detail overlooked. Finally, he discovered some clues—this unusual fluctuation seemed to be related to the Noah Clan.
"It was them after all!" Li An slammed his fist on the table in anger, his eyes flashing with fury. He knew that the Noah Clan would never let this go, and this time they must have tampered with the source of the holy power.
......0 .......
Just as Li An was about to delve deeper into the investigation, Kanda Yu stepped forward. He crossed his arms and looked at Li An with a cold arrogance: "Stop causing trouble. Your investigation will only make things worse." His tone was tinged with disdain, and his slightly raised chin seemed to express his dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Li An's anger flared instantly. He turned around, looking directly into Kanda Yu's eyes: "What did you say? I'm trying to solve the problem, and you're just making sarcastic remarks!" His eyes were filled with rage, and his hands clenched unconsciously until his knuckles turned white and dry.
Chapter 360 A Better Time
Kanda Yu scoffed, "Solve the problem? Look at what you're doing now, you're only making the situation with the Holy Power more unstable. We should remain still and wait for a better opportunity." His eyes revealed a stubbornness, showing no intention of backing down.
"Hold back? By the time you call it your opportunity, the holy power might be completely out of control!" Li An retorted loudly, taking a step forward and closing the distance between himself and Kanda Yu, the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense.
People around them, seeing the two arguing, gathered around. Allen and Lenalee tried to mediate, "Kanda, Leanne is only doing this for the sake of the Holy Power, let's stop arguing." "Yes, everyone, calm down." But their efforts to persuade them were largely ineffective.
Kanda Yu looked at Li An, his eyes filled with coldness: "You are too arrogant. Do you think you can solve all the problems?" His voice was icy, as if it could freeze the air.
Li An gritted his teeth and said, "I'm arrogant? I just don't want to see the holy power destroyed, and I don't want everyone to be in danger!" His voice trembled slightly with anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.
The two refused to back down, and their argument grew louder and louder. The other members of the Black Order watched from the sidelines, some with worried expressions, others with helpless looks. The argument made the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive.
However, Lian was not swayed by Kanda Yu's opposition. He knew that time was of the essence and he had to act quickly. With the support of Allen and Lenalee, he began a secret investigation into the Noah Clan's whereabouts.
After several days and nights of tracking, they finally located a stronghold of the Noah Clan hidden near the Black Order. It was an abandoned castle, surrounded by a thick aura of darkness. Eerie vines climbed all over the castle walls, swaying in the wind and making a rustling sound, as if telling an ancient curse.
“This is it.” Lian looked at the castle, his eyes shining with determination. He turned to Allen and Lenalee and said, “Wait for me here, I’ll go in alone.”
"No, it's too dangerous!" Allen said hurriedly, his eyes filled with worry, and he reached out to grab Lian's arm.
“Yes, Li An, let’s go in together, so we can look out for each other,” Lina Li chimed in, her eyes full of concern…
Lian shook his head: "Although you are not weak, the enemy is too cunning this time, and I am afraid you are in danger. Trust me, I will succeed." A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes as he gently patted Allen and Lenalee on the shoulder.
After saying that, Li An took a deep breath and walked alone towards the castle. His figure appeared somewhat lonely in the darkness, but it was full of power.
Stepping into the castle, a putrid stench assaulted his nostrils. The dim light blurred his vision, and the eyes of the figures in the tattered portraits hanging on the walls seemed to gleam eerily in the darkness. Li An proceeded cautiously, each step taken with utmost care.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed from all directions: "Haha, 2.5, you've finally arrived, Lian." With the laughter, a group of Noah's Clan members emerged from the shadows. They wore eerie masks and emanated an aura of evil.
"You bastards, today is your end!" Li An roared, and the holy weapon in his hand instantly burst forth with dazzling light. He launched the first attack, a powerful force shooting towards the Noah clan.
Chapter 361 Dodging to the Side
The members of the Noah Clan quickly took cover, and their attacks rained down on Lian. Dark magical beams crisscrossed the castle, colliding with Lian's holy power and creating violent explosions.
"Hmph, you think you can defeat us all by yourself?" A tall member of the Noah clan sneered. The weapon in his hand gleamed with black light as he slashed fiercely at Li An.
Li An's eyes sharpened, and he dodged to the side. His body moved with ghostly agility, weaving through the enemy's attacks. While dodging the attacks, he searched for the enemy's weaknesses.
The battle reached its climax, and Lian gradually realized that these members of the Noah Clan seemed to be deliberately stalling for time. He was startled, realizing that things might not be so simple. Just then, he suddenly felt the fluctuations of holy power become even more intense.
"This is bad, they're stalling for time, trying to let the holy power spiral out of control!" Li An thought anxiously. He knew this couldn't continue; he had to end the battle as soon as possible.
He took a deep breath, gathering all his strength, preparing to launch a full-force attack. However, just as he was about to strike, a figure suddenly attacked from behind. Li An was unable to dodge in time and was struck in the back.
"Pfft!" Li An spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered forward a few steps. He turned around and saw it was Tichmike. "Tichmike, it's you again!" Li An roared angrily.
Tichmick sneered, "Didn't expect that, did you, Li An? Today is your death day!" With that, he launched another attack.
Despite the pain, Lian engaged in a fierce battle with Tichmick. He knew he couldn't fall; if he did, the holy power would truly be gone.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Lian suddenly discovered an opening in Tichmike's defenses. A thought struck him, and he immediately launched an attack. His body moved like lightning towards Tichmike, the Holy Sword in his hand carrying immense power, stabbing fiercely at him.
"Ah!" Tichmike screamed in pain as his body was struck by the Holy Light and he collapsed to the ground.
Having dealt with Tichmick, Lian did not let his guard down. He quickly turned and continued fighting the other members of the Noah Clan. Under his powerful attacks, the Noah Clan members gradually could not withstand the onslaught and began to flee in all directions.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Li An roared, his holy power erupting once more, knocking down all the Noah clan members who were trying to escape.
Finally, the battle was over. Lian stood in the castle, slightly out of breath. His body was covered in blood, some from his enemies, some from himself. He didn't bother to rest, quickly searching the castle for 700 pieces of evidence that the Noah clan had tampered with the source of the holy power.
After some searching, he finally found a mysterious magic circle. This magic circle exuded a dark aura and was closely related to the fluctuations of holy power. Li An took a deep breath and, using his understanding of holy power, began to break the magic circle.
As the magic circle was broken, the fluctuations of holy power gradually subsided. The light stabilized once more, and a powerful force returned to Lian's hands.
"I succeeded!" Li An felt a surge of joy, a weary smile appearing on his face. He knew he had finally resolved the crisis of the holy power.
Chapter 362 Finally out
When Lian emerged from the castle, Allen and Lenalee were already waiting outside. Seeing Lian return safely, the two smiled with relief.
"Li An, you're finally out!" Allen ran over excitedly and hugged Li An tightly.
"Yes, I'm so glad you're alright." Lina Li also came over, her eyes glistening with tears.
The three returned to the Black Order. When the members saw Li An, their doubts vanished, replaced by admiration. "Li An, you really did it!" "Yes, he truly has the ability to control holy power." These words of praise brought Li An a sense of relief.
Kanda Yu stood to the side, looking at Li An with a complex expression in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "It seems I underestimated you." Although his tone was still somewhat arrogant, it had gained some recognition.
A fierce wind howled, like ferocious beasts roaring outside the Black Order's stronghold. The Black Order's buildings swayed precariously in the gale, seemingly on the verge of being destroyed by this powerful force. In the previous chapter, Li An was still hesitant about whether to venture into the demon's lair to rescue Guo Yao, but now, the Noah Clan's counterattack suddenly struck like a storm.
"Oh no, it's the Noah Clan! They're attacking!" A member of the Black Order rushed into Lian's room in a panic, shouting loudly.
Li An's expression instantly turned serious. He looked at Guo Yao lying on the bed, his heart filled with worry. He knew he had to protect Guo Yao and prevent her from getting hurt. "Don't be afraid, Yao Yao, I'll protect you," Li An said gently, holding Guo Yao's hand tenderly.
Tears welled in Guo Yao's eyes as she gripped Li An's hand tightly: "Li An, you must be careful. I can't live without you..."
Li An nodded slightly, gently kissed Guo Yao's forehead, then turned and charged into the battlefield without hesitation. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if declaring to the Noah Clan: "Your conspiracy will not succeed!"
Chaos reigned in the Black Order's plaza. Members of the Noah Clan surged in like a tidal wave, their faces contorted with savage grins and their eyes gleaming with malevolence. The Black Order's exorcists drew their weapons and engaged in a desperate battle with the enemy. Shouts of battle and screams mingled together, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
