Chapter 308: The God-Slaying Demon King Li An's Dominance! This Is His Power — Annihilation!!

At this moment!

Everyone gazed at the dazzling array of treasures inside the chest, their eyes brimming with delight and excitement, and their laughter instantly echoed through the secret chamber.

Li An tilted his lips slightly, and looking at the women beside him who were in high spirits, his heart filled with warmth.

However, as the God-Slaying Demon King, his vigilance naturally far surpassed that of ordinary people.

While everyone was immersed in the joy of their harvest, his gaze quietly swept the surroundings, watching every corner of the secret chamber, guarding against any hidden danger.

"Don't just focus on being happy. This place feels strange; we need to act carefully."

Li An reminded them softly. Though his voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable authority, instantly quieting the women, who all nodded in understanding.

Yuihama Yukiko obediently set down the jewelry in her hand, hopped over to Li An's side, and clung to his arm: "Lord Li An is right. With you here, we're not afraid of anything!"

She tilted her head up, her eyes full of trust and reliance, looking just like an adorable little kitten, making one unable to resist the urge to pat her head.

Li An gently patted her hand in reassurance.

Then he turned and walked toward that ancient, unadorned magic tome.

This tome emanated an unfathomably mysterious aura.

Li An reached out and lightly picked it up. It felt heavy in his hands, and the ancient runes on its cover seemed to tell of legends of old.

Just as he was about to open the tome and investigate, the floor of the secret chamber suddenly trembled violently. Streaks of dark-red light seeped from the cracks between the tiles, rapidly weaving into an eerie web of light.

"Not good, there's a trap!" Yukinoshita Haruno cried out. She quickly moved closer to Li An, the gem that had once resonated with Li An's magic gripped tightly in her hand, her eyes full of vigilance.

The women also gathered around one by one, forming a circle with Li An protected in the middle.

Though they were women, at this moment they showed not the slightest fear, their eyes resolute as they faced the unknown danger together with Li An.

Li An's gaze turned cold. He tucked the magic tome into his embrace, leveled his long sword in his hand, and the runes on the blade shone, mirroring the dark-red web of light.

"Hmph, no matter what thing it is, if it dares to come provoke us, we'll make sure it never leaves."

Li An's voice was deep and powerful, echoing through the secret chamber like a great bell, brimming with domineering aura.

In an instant, a powerful surge of magical energy rose from the center of the web of light.

A massive figure, as if condensed from lava, slowly emerged.

Its entire body flowed with scorching lava, every wriggle accompanied by a sizzling sound, waves of heat rolling toward them, causing the temperature inside the secret chamber to climb sharply.

"Insignificant intruders, how dare you trespass into my domain and steal my treasures. Today is your time of death!" The monster opened its bloody maw and let out a deafening roar, its voice filled with rage and brutality.

"Just an ugly freak like you wants to stop us? In your dreams!" Li An refused to back down. His figure flashed, and he shot toward the monster like a bolt of black lightning.

The long sword in his hand, wrapped in surging magical power, traced a brilliant arc through the air and slashed viciously at the monster's head.

Seeing this, the monster raised its hand and swung, and a thick arm made of lava rose to meet Li An's long sword.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two collided with an earth-shattering crash, sparks flying in all directions. Scorching lava splattered around, burning black pits into the ground.

Li An used the force to perform a backflip and landed steadily on the ground.

He spread his feet slightly apart in a horse stance, his internal magical power running wild, his clothes flapping loudly. "Hold the formation. I'll go meet this beast!" Li An shouted, his eyes fixed firmly on the monster, as if in his eyes this seemingly terrifying opponent were nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Yuihama Yukiko clenched her small fists tightly, cheering Li An on: "Lord Li An, go for it! You can definitely defeat it!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, her eyes full of confidence in Li An.

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka also tightened her grip on her weapon, ready to support Li An at any moment: "Kid, be careful, don't try to act tough!"

Yukinoshita Haruno, meanwhile, stood to the side, her gaze locked tightly on the battle between Li An and the monster. The gem in her hand glowed faintly, seemingly gathering power in case of need.

Li An took a deep breath and charged at the monster once more.

This time, he unleashed an exquisitely brilliant sword art. Every strike was as fast as lightning, precise beyond compare, as if it could tear the heavens apart.

Wherever the long sword passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The monster was caught off guard by Li An's fierce assault and forced to retreat again and again.

It roared in fury, trying to grab Li An with its lava arms, but each time Li An nimbly dodged.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One — World-Ending Style!"

Li An roared. In an instant, countless long swords once again materialized out of thin air in the air. These long swords were even more ferocious than those used to slay the Demon God earlier, and as their light blazed, they seemed capable of devouring all illumination.

They rapidly converged in the air, transforming into a colossal sword of light that blotted out the sky. Runes flowed across its body, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.

The sword of light, carrying an unstoppable momentum, slashed viciously at the monster.

The monster's eyes widened in terror, wanting to dodge, but it was already too late.

The colossal sword of light plunged straight into its chest, cleaving its massive body in two in an instant. Scorching lava splattered everywhere, but when it approached Li An and the others, it was blocked by an invisible barrier of magical power.

"Th-this... how is this possible?" The monster let out a desperate shriek, then crashed to the ground, turning into a puddle of dark-red lava that slowly seeped into the floor and vanished.

Li An sheathed his sword and stood, his stern face betraying no emotion. He turned to look at the women, a hint of concern in his eyes: "Is everyone alright?"

The women all shook their heads, their eyes full of admiration and worship.

Yuihama Yukiko was the first to rush forward and hug Li An tightly: "Lord Li An, you're amazing! I knew you could protect us!"

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped forward, patted Li An's shoulder, and laughed: "Kid, we owe you one again! Looks like with you around, no matter what danger we run into on this journey, we can turn misfortune into blessing."

Her smile carried a mix of relief and emotion.

Yukinoshita Haruno also stepped forward. The light of the gem in her hand had already dimmed. She said softly: "This gem seems to have consumed quite a bit of energy again, but being able to help Li An means it was put to good use."
