Chapter 325: The God-Slaying Demon King Li An's Domineering Suppression

As the Sixth Heavenly Demon turned to ash, the oppressive aura that had filled the heavens and earth instantly dissipated, and brilliant sunlight poured down without reserve, as if cheering for this breathtaking victory.

Li An stood proud, his posture upright as a pine, the long sword in his hand slowly lowering. The starlight power on the blade gradually faded, but the faintly lingering cold gleam still made one's heart tremble.

He turned his head to look at the women beside him, his eyes full of concern and tenderness.

"Is everyone alright?" Li An's voice was deep and magnetic, echoing across the vast heavens and earth.

Yuigahama Yui was the first to throw herself at him, hugging Li An tightly, rubbing her cheek against his chest, her eyes still glistening with unshed tears: "Li An, my lord, I was so worried about you. Just now, I thought—"

Li An gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "Silly girl, with me here, nothing will happen."

Yukinoshita Harano tilted her head slightly, looking at Li An, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips: "Li An, my lord, this time we truly owe it all to you. Your strength has shown us the hope of victory, and made us even more determined to follow you."

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped forward, patted Li An's shoulder, her eyes full of admiration: "Li An, your performance today can be called perfect. This battle alone is enough to make your name shake the world."

Li An shook his head slightly, his expression humble: "This is the credit of all of us. Without you, I alone could not have done it. Now that the Sixth Heavenly Demon has been eliminated, we should head back. The Star Sanctum is still waiting for us."

Having said that, Li An set off on the return journey with the women. Along the way, their mood was especially light, with laughter and chatter never ceasing. The road that had once been full of danger and the unknown now seemed especially welcoming in their eyes.

However, as they approached the Star Sanctum, they discovered that a layer of eerie fog had spread around the sanctum, and within that fog a faint evil aura could be sensed. Li An's gaze instantly sharpened like an eagle's—he sensed something was wrong.

"Be careful, there may be trouble." Li An said in a low voice, simultaneously circulating his starlight power, watching the surroundings warily.

The women also gripped their weapons tightly, their expressions tense.

The moment they stepped into the Star Sanctum's range, a group of mysterious figures in black robes with ferocious faces flashed out from the fog, surrounding them completely. These mysterious figures emanated an evil aura similar to the Sixth Heavenly Demon's, but their strength was clearly far weaker.

"Hmph, didn't expect there'd still be some fish that slipped through the net, daring to come die at the moment this great lord returns triumphant!" Li An snorted coldly, and the starlight power on his body surged and erupted violently, forming a powerful aura that blasted those mysterious figures back several steps.

The leader among the mysterious figures let out a rasping laugh: "Li An, don't get cocky—today is your time of death! Although we are not as powerful as the Sixth Heavenly Demon, my lord, dealing with you is still more than enough!"

Li An disdainfully curled his lip: "Empty boasts! Then let me show you what true power is!"

Having said that, Li An's figure flashed, weaving among the mysterious figures like a phantom. The long sword in his hand swung out brilliant streaks of starlight sword qi—each strike carrying tremendous destructive force. Wherever it passed, those mysterious figures had no time to react before being cleaved in two by the sword qi; black blood splattered out, instantly turning into a puff of black mist that dissipated in the air.

Seeing this, Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka shouted: "Sisters, let's go too! We can't let Li An fight alone!"

Yukinoshita Harano and Yuigahama Yui answered in unison, each unleashing their strongest moves and joining the battle.

Yukinoshita Harano waved both hands, and the elements in the air seemed to heed her summons, rapidly gathering together to form massive magical vortexes one after another.

These vortexes contained tremendous elemental power, smashing toward the mysterious figures like cannonballs. Each magical vortex that exploded triggered a violent surge of energy, sending the surrounding mysterious figures tumbling.

Yuigahama Yui, meanwhile, stood at the rear, her magic staff swinging with great vigor, as water-element magic was released in an endless stream.

Her water-element magic could not only grant Li An and the others defensive buffs, but at critical moments could transform into ice spikes that shot at the mysterious figures attempting to ambush them.

The ice spikes glinted coldly under the sunlight, precisely striking their targets, freezing those mysterious figures into ice sculptures that then crumbled into piles of icy shards.

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka's long saber danced in her hands so densely that not even wind could pass through, the blade wrapped in starlight power and flashing with dazzling radiance.

Every strike carried the force of a thousand jin, slashing viciously at those mysterious figures. Her saber technique was fierce and sharp, like Mount Menghuxia, making those mysterious figures flee at the mere mention of it.

Under the combined assault of the four, those mysterious figures quickly could not hold out. Their formation was broken, and they scattered in all directions—but how could Li An let them go.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Li An shouted, executing the Star Soul-Chasing Step, his figure weaving among the mysterious figures like lightning.

The long sword in his hand carried endless starlight power—wherever it went, the mysterious figures fell one after another, none spared.

In no time, those mysterious figures were all annihilated, leaving behind a patch of black bloodstains and severed limbs on the ground.

Li An sheathed his long sword, a powerful confidence and domineering air revealed in his eyes.

"With mere small fries like these, you want to stop me? Simply overestimating yourselves!"

Li An's voice rang out across the entire Star Sanctum.

The women gathered around, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

"Li An, my lord, you're amazing! These guys were no match for you at all!"

Yuigahama Yui said excitedly, her eyes full of worship and admiration.

Yukinoshita Harano nodded gently: "Li An, my lord's strength has reached a realm that leaves others in the dust. With you here, our Star Sanctum is bound to flourish."

Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka also laughed and said: "Exactly, this victory once again proves our strength! From now on, no one will dare to lightly provoke our Star Sanctum."

Li An looked at the women, his heart filled with warmth and gratitude.

He knew that his achievements today could not have been possible without their support and companionship.

"Let's go, we're heading home." Li An said softly, leading the women toward the depths of the Star Sanctum.

After returning to the Star Sanctum, they received a warm welcome and cheers from all the disciples and elders.

On the plaza of the Star Sanctum, a sea of people filled the square, their faces beaming with joyful and excited smiles.

"Li An, my lord, you've finally returned!"

"This time it's all thanks to Li An, my lord and the heroes—only then was our Star Sanctum saved!"
