Chapter 282: The God-Slaying Demon King's Dominant Killing Strike — Slaying the Monster

The next moment!

Yuigahama Yui was startled by the monster that suddenly appeared and hurriedly retreated.

Li An's gaze sharpened, and in an instant he stood in front of Yuigahama Yui, a powerful aura radiating from his body.

Then, looking coldly at the monster, he said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hirasawa Shizuka crossed her arms over her chest, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly into a confident smile. "Hmph, it's just a monster. Watch how I deal with it."

Saying so, her figure flashed, and she instantly charged at the monster, condensing a powerful ball of energy in her hand and hurling it at the monster.

The monster sensed the attack, let out a roar, and swung its huge claws to slap at Hirasawa Shizuka.

Hirasawa Shizuka nimbly dodged the monster's attacks, continuously searching for an opening in its defense.

Yukinoshita Haruno, meanwhile, calmly observed the monster's movements from the side. She turned her head and said to Li An, "Lord Li An, this monster seems powerful, but its movements are a bit clumsy. We can exploit that weakness to attack it."

Li An nodded slightly and said, "Good, everyone follow my lead. Yui, stand back, don't get close to the monster!

Xiang Xiang Monan, keep an eye on the surroundings in case other dangers appear.

Haruno, you and I will look for the monster's weakness and prepare to deliver a fatal blow.

Hirasawa Shizuka, keep drawing the monster's attention."

The women nodded one after another and began to act according to Li An's instructions.

Hirasawa Shizuka kept attacking the monster. Although her attacks couldn't deal it fatal damage, she successfully drew its attention.

Enraged by Hirasawa Shizuka, the monster chased her wildly, attacking.

Li An and Yukinoshita Haruno took the opportunity to carefully observe the monster's movements.

They noticed that the monster's belly seemed relatively soft and might be its weak point.

Li An said to Yukinoshita Haruno, "Haruno, in a moment I'll draw the monster's attention, and you seize the chance to attack its belly~"

Yukinoshita Haruno nodded to show she understood.

Li An's figure suddenly flashed, appearing right in front of the monster.

Seeing Li An, the monster immediately pounced toward him.

Li An nimbly dodged the monster's attacks while continuously bombarding it with magic, trying to enrage it.

The monster was indeed enraged by Li An and attacked him frantically.

Just as the monster's attention was fully fixed on Li An, Yukinoshita Haruno seized the moment, instantly dashing toward the monster's belly, condensing a powerful beam of magic light in her hand and firing it at the monster's belly.

The magic beam struck the monster's belly accurately, and the monster let out a pained roar.

Its body swayed violently, as if it had suffered heavy blows.

Seeing the monster wounded, Hirasawa Shizuka seized the chance to intensify her attacks.

She kept firing energy balls at the monster, leaving it no time to attend to anything else.

Under the group's attacks, the monster gradually fell into a predicament.

Its movements grew slower and slower, and its body was covered in wounds.

Just as everyone thought the monster was about to be defeated, it suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar.

Its body began to emit a powerful, evil aura, and its eyes turned blood-red.

Li An's expression changed, and he said, "Not good, this monster is about to go berserk. Everyone be careful!"

After going berserk, the monster's strength grew even greater and its attacks even more frenzied.

The monster attacked the group wildly, plunging them into danger.

Seeing everyone in danger, Yuigahama Yui grew extremely anxious.

She suddenly thought of a plan and shouted to Li An, "Lord Li An, we can use the power of the gemstone to deal with the monster."

Li An's eyes lit up. "Great idea! Haruno, bring the gemstone over."

Yukinoshita Haruno immediately ran to the stone platform, picked up the gemstone, and handed it to Li An.

Li An took the gemstone and felt the immense power contained within it.

He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried to channel the power within the gemstone.

The power within the gemstone began to slowly flow into Li An's body.

Li An's body radiated a dazzling light, and his power grew even stronger.

Li An opened his eyes, a glint of resolve flashing in them.

Holding the gemstone, he charged toward the monster.

Seeing Li An rushing over, the monster let out a roar and swung its claws to slap at him.

Li An nimbly dodged the monster's attack, then gathered the gemstone's power in his hand and slammed it viciously at the monster's head.

The gemstone's power erupted in an instant. Struck by the tremendous force, the monster let out a shrill, miserable shriek.

Its body swayed a few times, then crashed to the ground with a boom.

Seeing the monster defeated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuigahama Yui excitedly ran over, hugged Li An, and said, "Lord Li An, you're amazing!"

Li An smiled slightly and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint effort."

Hirasawa Shizuka walked over, looked at the monster on the ground, and said, "This monster is finally dealt with. Now we can continue exploring the ruins."

Yukinoshita Haruno said, "Exactly. We still don't know what secrets the ruins are hiding."

Xiang Xiang Monan also nodded in agreement.

Li An said, "Good, then let's keep moving forward! But everyone must be even more careful—there may be other dangers lurking in the ruins."

The group continued exploring the ruins. They passed through room after room, discovering many ancient artifacts and mysterious magical items.

In one room, they found an ancient book.

The book recorded an entirely new cultivation system, one far more advanced than any they currently knew.

Li An read the book carefully, an excited expression appearing on his face.

He then said, "The cultivation system recorded in this book is extremely powerful. If we can master it, our strength will be greatly enhanced."

The women all showed excited expressions as well.

Yuigahama Yui said, "Lord Li An, then let's hurry and learn this cultivation system."
