Chapter 253

Then, the black-robed man waved his hands, and a series of black energy spheres flew toward Li An.

Li An dodged the energy spheres with agility, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

He noticed that although the black-robed man's attacks were powerful, they seemed to follow a discernible pattern.

"Yuihama, Yōnai, attack from the flanks and distract him! Hiratsuka Shizuka and Xiang Xiang Monan, look for a chance to destroy the magic array."

Li An transmitted his Secret Method via voice transmission to the women.

Soon, the women immediately acted according to Li An's instructions.

Yuihama Yui and Yōnai Yuki charged at the black-robed man from the flanks, continuously unleashing Onmyodo attacks against him.

The black-robed man was forced to divert his attention to fend off their assaults, giving Li An his opening.

Seizing the chance, Li An swiftly closed the distance, his Onmyodo power coiling and ready to strike.

The black-robed man sensed Li An's intent and sneered: "Think you can ambush me? It won't be that easy."

He suddenly spun around and unleashed a powerful black energy column toward Li An.

Li An paid it no mind, extended his palm, and crushed the black energy column outright, reducing it to scattered fragments.

"My lord Li An, you're incredible!"

The women exclaimed in excitement.

The black-robed man, witnessing this, was utterly stunned—what kind of person was this, so overwhelmingly strong?

He knew full well the power behind the black energy column he had just unleashed, yet never imagined it would be so easily crushed by Li An's single palm strike.

How could this not shock him!

Yet shock aside,

he still had full confidence in his own strength.

"Enough! Do as I instructed and attack!"

Li An ordered.

Upon hearing this,

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Xiang Xiang Monan seized the moment to rush toward the magic array, attempting to destroy it.

But a powerful protective barrier surrounded the array; their attacks had no effect whatsoever.

Seeing their actions, the black-robed man laughed loudly: "Don't waste your effort—that magic array cannot be destroyed by you."

"Concentrate your strength and strike the same point on the magic array," Li An said.

The women immediately responded, channeling their Onmyodo power together into a single point on the array...

Seeing this, the black-robed man hurried to intervene but was tightly held back by Yuihama Yui and Yōnai Yuki.

Through the combined efforts of the women, the protective barrier of the magic array finally cracked.

At that precise moment, Li An seized his chance, gathering his strongest Onmyodo power and striking the crack with all his might.

The magic array collapsed instantly under the blow.

The black-robed man let out a furious roar: "You dare destroy my magic array? You will pay for this."

Black energy radiated from his entire body, his power surging instantly.

Li An's expression grave, he said: "Be careful—he's going all out."

The black-robed man charged toward them, moving at incredible speed.

The women all unleashed Onmyodo defenses, yet were still blasted backward by his overwhelming force.

Seeing this, Li An decided to take the offensive.

He vanished in a flash, appearing instantly before the black-robed man, engaging him in fierce close-quarters combat.

The two exchanged blows relentlessly, locked in a stalemate.

Li An, through his refined combat skills and potent Onmyodo power, gradually gained the upper hand.

Seeing himself at a disadvantage, the black-robed man grew angrier by the moment.

He suddenly roared, his body erupting in a surge of powerful black energy.

Li An was thrown back several steps, his mind alarmed: "This guy still has such immense power?"

"My lord Li An, let us help you!" the women cried.

"No, protect yourselves. I can handle him," Li An said.

He charged again at the black-robed man, relentlessly striking him with his Onmyodo power.

Though powerful, the black-robed man began to weaken under Li An's continuous assault.

Finally, Li An spotted a flaw in the black-robed man's defense and struck his vital point with all his Onmyodo power.

The black-robed man screamed in agony, collapsed to the ground, and lost all sign of life.
