Chapter 305

"Today is the moment of your destruction! You have succeeded in angering me!"

Li An roared, his voice wave seeming capable of shattering the air; the long sword in his hand blazed with brilliant light, runes flickering as if trembling in unison with his soul.

In an instant, his figure shot forth like lightning, transforming into a streak of flowing light as he launched a storm-like assault against the black shadow.

The long sword swung, each strike carrying the power to cleave mountains and split stones; sword shadows resembled solidified silver dragons roaring and darting through the sky.

For a moment, the clashing of metal never ceased, sparks flying in all directions; every collision sent ripples visible to the naked eye through the surrounding space, as if this realm could not withstand such fierce combat.

At first, the black shadow could respond with composure, its hands weaving black mist into shields as solid as rock, blocking each of Li An's attacks one by one.

Yet as Li An's assault grew ever more rapid, it gradually struggled to hold on; its form began to sway, and the black mist grew thin.

"Hmph, is that all?"

Li An sneered, suddenly spinning the long sword in his hand; the blade hummed, as if gathering endless power of Lei Ting.

Immediately, he leaped high, like a war god treading through the void, and bellowed: "Lei Ting's Wrathful Sword Technique — World-Annihilation Style!"

In an instant, the sky seemed torn apart; a colossal sword energy formed from gathered Lei Ting crashed down with a thunderous boom, carrying an aura of world-destroying devastation, striking straight at the black shadow.

The black shadow, terrified, hastily crossed its arms, concentrating all its black mist before itself in a futile attempt to block this fatal strike.

With a deafening "Crack!" as if the firmament were collapsing, the black mist was instantly cleaved apart; the black shadow's massive body was hurled backward like a kite with a severed string, slamming hard into the castle wall and smashing a huge deep crater into the hard stone, with rubble cascading down.

"Cough, cough..." The black shadow spat black blood, its eyes filled with shock and fear; it never expected Li An to unleash such terrifying power.

"It's not over yet!"

Li An's figure flashed, approaching the black shadow again like a phantom.

At this moment, he resembled a demon gone berserk, radiating a killing intent that chilled the bones.

Gripping the long sword with both hands, he thrust fiercely at the black shadow's throat, his speed reaching the extreme, as if surpassing the limits of time and space.

The black shadow widened its eyes, trying to dodge, but it was already too late.

At this critical moment, it threw all its strength into a sidestep; Li An's long sword grazed its neck, drawing a streak of blood.

"Aaaah!" The black shadow let out a shriek, its eyes filled with despair.

Li An would not grant it a moment to catch its breath; seizing the opportunity, he kicked the black shadow's chest, sending it flying once more. The black shadow crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"My lord Li An, so cool!" Yui Yuigahama jumped and cheered, her eyes still glistening with tears, now full of admiration and joy.

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly, a gratified smile on her face: "This boy truly has some skill."

Hina Yukinoshita also breathed a sigh of relief; the gem in her hand flickered with a faint light, as if echoing Li An's victory...

Xiang Xiang Monan clapped and cheered: "Great, we won!"

Li An sheathed his sword and stood, gazing coldly at the fallen black shadow: "Before me, Li An, you are nothing but an ant!"

His voice seemed to carry boundless pressure, causing the surrounding air to freeze; that domineering aura made the women's hearts race and sent shivers through any potential enemies.

However, just as everyone believed the crisis was averted, a far more eerie fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of the castle, as if something even more terrifying was about to Su Xing.

The ground began to trem violently; black cracks, resembling the gaping maws of ferocious beasts, slowly opened, from which billowed thick black smoke.

"Not good, I fear we have a major trouble!"

Li An's expression changed; he gripped the long sword once more.

The women quickly gathered around; Yui Yuigahama clung tightly to Li An's arm, her body trembling slightly: "My lord Li An, what should we do?"

Li An gently stroked her head, reassuring her: "Do not fear; I am here."

Yet his gaze remained utterly grave, fixed on the place shrouded in black smoke.

Suddenly, a colossal figure, seemingly condensed from the primal darkness, slowly emerged.

It stood dozens of zhang tall, wreathed in black flames; within the flames, countless tormented souls could faintly be heard roaring, their evil aura sweeping across the heavens and earth, as if intent on devouring all light in the world.

"Lowly ants, you dare injure my kin? Today, you shall all perish here!"

This ancient demon god let out a roar that shook the heavens, its voice seeming capable of shattering souls, leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented.

Li An drew a deep breath, shielding the women behind him: "Hina, take the gem and find a place to hide; I will hold off this big fellow."

"Li An, no, it's too dangerous!" Hina Yukinoshita cried out anxiously.

"Rest assured, I have my own way." Li An's gaze was firm, leaving no room for doubt.

Though the women were filled with worry, they knew they could not hold Li An back at this moment; with tears in their eyes, they nodded and ran toward a corner of the castle.

Li An turned, facing this terrifying demon god; the momentum on his body blazed like a burning sun, rising to its peak.

"Come! Today we shall see whether your so-called demon god is mighty, or whether I, the Demon King who slays gods, can defy heaven and change fate! Fight, fight, fight!"
