Chapter 300: The God-Slaying Demon King's Ultimate Killing Strike

After defeating the guardian monster, the group relaxed their tense mood a little.

Li An held the mysterious crystal orb in his hand, feeling the immense power contained within, and a strong curiosity welled up inside him.

"What exactly does this crystal orb do?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked softly, her eyes also filled with confusion.

Li An shook his head slightly: "It's not clear yet, but I feel it must not be simple! Let's leave here first, find a safe place, and study it properly."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began walking cautiously toward the exit. Yuigahama Yui followed closely beside Li An, her eyes full of admiration: "Lord Li An, you were so cool just now! That monster was so powerful, yet you defeated it with ease."

Li An smiled, gently patting Yuigahama Yui on the head: "Don't say that, everyone was very brave. Without your support, I couldn't have done it either."

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka stood to the side with arms crossed: "Hmph, don't get cocky, kid. We don't know how many dangers still await us ahead."

Li An's expression turned serious: "I know, Teacher Hiratsuka. We'll be even more careful."

Just as they were about to reach the exit, a powerful surge of magical energy suddenly appeared in the space again. The group's faces changed and they immediately stopped walking.

"What's going on? Has another monster appeared?" Xiang Xiang Monan asked nervously.

Li An stared intently ahead, gripping his long sword tightly: "Everyone be careful, a new danger may have appeared."

The moment his words fell, a black ray of light shot from ahead. Li An reacted instantly, raising his long sword to shield everyone. The black light struck the long sword with a tremendous crash.

Everyone looked closely and saw a massive black magic circle appear ahead. The magic circle emanated a powerful, evil aura that made one's blood run cold.

"What is this?" Yuigahama Yui asked in terror.

Li An frowned: "It seems leaving here won't be that easy. This magic circle must be some kind of trap; we must find a way to break it."

Yukinoshita Haruno analyzed calmly: "This magic circle's aura is very evil; it may have powerful attacks or curses. We can't act rashly."

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the magic circle and said: "Hmph, no matter what trap it is, we have to break through it. Li An, do you have any ideas?"

Li An thought for a moment, then said: "Let's first observe the structure and operating patterns of this magic circle. See if there's any weakness we can exploit."

Everyone began carefully observing the magic circle. After a period of observation, Li An discovered some characteristics of the magic circle.

"This magic circle is composed of multiple evil runes, each emanating powerful evil force. We need to find a way to purify these runes in order to break the magic circle," Li An said.

"But how do we purify these runes?" Yuigahama Yui asked.

Li An smiled slightly: "I have a way. My long sword can absorb magical power; we can use it to absorb the power of these evil runes, then use our positive energy to purify them."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Li An held his long sword and cautiously approached the magic circle. The light on the blade flickered as it began absorbing the evil power within the magic circle.

The magic circle seemed to sense the threat and began emitting intense light, resisting Li An's attack. Li An's gaze hardened as he increased his power.

"Everyone cheer me on!" Li An shouted.

The women all cheered Li An on. Encouraged by everyone, Li An's power grew even stronger. The light on the long sword grew ever more dazzling, and the evil runes within the magic circle were absorbed one after another.

As the evil runes were absorbed, the magic circle's power gradually weakened. Finally, when the last evil rune was absorbed, the magic circle shattered completely.

Seeing this, everyone was filled with joy.

"Lord Li An, you're amazing!" Yuigahama Yui said excitedly.

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka also showed an approving expression: "Not bad, kid. That sword of yours really is something."

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled at Li An: "We've overcome another hurdle. I hope there won't be so many dangers later on."

Xiang Xiang Monan watched silently from the side, her eyes full of admiration.

Everyone continued walking toward the exit. Finally, they walked out of this mysterious space and arrived at an unfamiliar place.

This place was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, surrounded by tall trees and exotic flowers and herbs. A fresh scent permeated the air, making one feel refreshed.

"Where is this?" Yuigahama Yui asked curiously.

Li An observed his surroundings and said: "I don't know either. But it looks safe here; we can rest here first, then continue exploring."

Everyone found a clean spot to sit and began resting. Li An took out the crystal orb and observed it carefully. He tried using his own power to sense the power within the crystal orb, but gained nothing.

"What secret does this crystal orb hold?" Li An's heart was filled with doubt.

Just then, Yuigahama Yui suddenly pointed into the distance and said: "Lord Li An, look over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction Yuigahama Yui pointed and saw a massive castle appear in the distance. Mysterious light flickered on the castle walls, looking very magnificent.

"What place is that?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked.

Li An frowned: "I don't know, but I feel the answers we seek may be there. Let's go take a look."

Everyone walked toward the castle. As they approached, they found the castle's great doors tightly shut. Mysterious runes were carved into the doors, emanating powerful magical force.
