Chapter 268

Li An and the women stood atop Shanfeng, a light breeze brushing through their hair.

Li An's gaze was firm and sharp, as if it could pierce through all mist.

"This world is full of the unknown, but we~ fear nothing."

Li An's voice was steady and powerful, echoing through the wind.

The women's eyes likewise glowed with resolve; they closely followed Li An, ready to face new challenges.

After descending Shanfeng, they entered a dense forest.

The trees here were tall and ancient, their branches and leaves thick, allowing only scattered patches of sunlight to filter through.

Li An walked at the front, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

Suddenly, a low growl echoed from deep within the forest.

The women instantly tensed, gripping their weapons tightly.

Li An halted, listening closely. "Something's approaching—stay alert."

No sooner had he spoken than a massive beast burst from the trees.

Its body was enormous, like a small hill; its sharp claws and fangs gleamed with cold light in the sun.

The women drew in sharp breaths, yet they did not retreat.

Yui Hirasawa swiftly unleashed a Cursed Technique; a flash of light struck the beast's head.

Yet the beast merely shook its head slightly and charged again.

Haruka Hiratsuka, unafraid, combined her physical strength with Cursed energy and leapt forward to meet the beast.

Her fist, carrying immense force, slammed hard against the beast's body.

The beast roared in fury and turned to lunge at Haruka Hiratsuka.

Yuno Gasai seized the opportunity to cast a Cursed Technique; streams of spiritual energy shot forth like arrows toward the beast.

The beast's movements stalled, clearly affected.

Xiang Xiang Monan stood ready nearby, prepared to immediately cast a healing Cursed Technique if any teammate was wounded.

Li An watched the beast, a hint of dominance flashing in his eyes.

The staff in his hand surged with great curse energy.

The gem atop the staff blazed with light, firing a brilliant beam at the beast.

The beast sensed the overwhelming power and tried to dodge—but it was too late.

The beam struck it instantly; the beast let out a pained roar and collapsed to the ground.

The women stared at the fallen beast, exhaling in relief.

But they knew this was only the beginning.

On their continued journey, they encountered all manner of dangers.

Yet under Li An's leadership, the women repeatedly turned peril into safety.

Li An's strength struck fear into enemies; every move he made was decisive and sharp, granting no chance for respite.

One day!

In an ancient ruin, they encountered a group of evil magicians.

These magicians sought to harness the ruin's power to rule the world.

Li An and the women's arrival disrupted their plans.

The magicians immediately launched an attack.

Magical lights flashed; powerful magical fluctuations made the entire ruin tremble.

Li An's eyes turned cold; he raised his staff, and a powerful protective shield instantly formed, blocking the magicians' attacks.

"Your schemes will not succeed."

Li An's voice was like ice, sending a chill through the magicians.

Yui Hirasawa, Haruka Hiratsuka, and Yuno Gasai each unleashed Cursed Techniques, engaging the magicians in fierce combat.

Xiang Xiang Monan provided support from behind, ensuring their injuries were promptly healed.

During the battle, Li An realized these magicians' strength was not to be underestimated.

Their magical attacks were extremely powerful, and their coordination was seamless.

But Li An did not retreat; he decided to end this swiftly.

He perfectly fused his Cursed energy with his will, releasing a powerful shockwave.

The shockwave swept through like a storm, flinging the magicians away.

Some magicians tried to flee, but Li An would not give them that chance.

He cast another Cursed Technique; a flash of light struck, knocking down every fleeing magician.

After the battle, the women stared at the fallen magicians, filled with admiration.

They knew that without Li An, this battle would have been extremely difficult.

In their exploration of this world, Li An and the women also met several righteous factions.

They cooperated together to fight evil.

Once, they encountered a city besieged by evil forces.

The people within the city were plunged into despair.

Li An decided to help them. He led the women and the righteous factions in an attack against the evil forces.

The battle was fierce; the evil forces were numerous, but Li An and the women were undaunted. He

them unleashed their full strength, fighting a life-or-death battle against the evil forces.

Li An's staff was like a divine weapon, each swing bringing immense destructive power.

The women's Cursed Techniques also played a huge role; their seamless coordination dealt a heavy blow to the evil forces.

In the end, they successfully defeated the evil forces and rescued the people in the city.

The people in the city were filled with gratitude toward them, cheering and jumping for joy.

In this world, the legendary stories of Li An and the women continued to unfold.

For a time, their names spread to every corner, becoming heroes in the hearts of the people.

As time passed, the women's strength grew ever stronger.

Under Li An's leadership, they constantly challenged themselves and broke through their limits.

One day, they arrived at a mysterious valley.

A powerful magical energy permeated the valley, making one's heart race with fear.

Li An sensed that a huge secret was hidden within the valley. He led the women to walk into the valley cautiously.

Inside the valley, they discovered an ancient temple.

The Miaodeda Sect's main gate was tightly shut, yet the magical energy emanating from within could not be ignored.

Li An decided to enter the temple to investigate.

He used cursed power to open the temple's main gate, and a surge of immense power rushed toward him.

The women followed closely behind Li An, entering the temple.

The temple's interior was very spacious, with walls covered in mysterious runes and patterns.

In the center of the temple stood a huge crystal ball.

Mysterious light flickered within the crystal ball, as if containing boundless power.

Li An approached the crystal ball and observed it carefully.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the crystal ball, enveloping Li An.

The women were terrified and wanted to rush over to save Li An, but they were blocked by a powerful force.

Within the light, Li An felt a surge of immense power.

Immediately, he focused his spirit, using his will and cursed power to resist this force and...
